A Perfect Kinda Day

Such bliss today.
So rare, so rare... today i had nearly the whole day to myself!
Doing nothing.
Isn't it wonderful?
A whole day doing nothing except the things I love.
No agenda, no errands, no to-do lists, no appointments, no noise...

So what did i Do?
Glorious glorious.
I, of course, spent time with my son in the morning before dropping him off at Grandma's.
Then headed to town.

I don't care what people think about town (ie: Orchard Road).
Yes its crowded / commercialised / boring etc.
But have you been there on a quiet weekday morning? Before lunch?
It's beautiful then.
Full of possibilities.
It's sunny and beautiful and ... absolutely no crowds.
Parking is cheap, carpark lots are aplenty, it's perfect.
I've been going since i was 12.
I feel very very at home, very weirdly at peace in town.
I know every nook and corner, every boutique, every nice coffee spot, every stairwell, every small road, every dead end... its true.
My husband is like a walking road map, and even he concedes this area to me.

I spent time in a bookshop, of course.
I took a nice walk along the boulevard before landing at Ngee Ann City.
I shopped to my heart's content in Mango & Zara.
I bought a dress, 2 tops and a pair of shoes. And even a polo tee for my brother.
I tried clothes that i knew i wouldn't buy, cos baby, I had the time.
I was in absolutely no rush at all. (Do you know how rare this is??!!)
I read magazines.
I had a nice leisurely Japanese lunch, with fabulous green tea.
I almost wanted to catch a movie too... but decided walking around was more fun.
And finally, i went home for dinner with my parents, bro and sister, and son in the evening.

Like a perfect kinda day, no?
