Had a really hard time deciding on the price... but after some prayer, I decided on $20 for them. When I passed her the crosses, I actually couldn't bring myself to tell her that and asked her instead what she would pay for them. And guess what she said?
$20.
Haha. Praise God.
Ok. So I made my first sale.
Happy as a lark.
...
Went to Liang Court for lunch at Tampopo after church. Great sermon by the way ('Win over Worry').
Liang Court is one of my favourite places in Singapore! Maybe because it is swarmed with Japanese expats and their families.
Yeah so I'm a Jap-wannabe.
The lunch at Tampopo was great as usual. I ordered a Salmon Don for $15. It was completely covered with thick (think 1 cm thick) slabs of fresh salmon! *Squeals in delight!* It also came with generous toppings of pickles, sweet omelette and ginger, plus a pipiing hot bowl of miso soup. Subarashii ne!
Hubs had the Shabu Shabu Black Pig Ramen (think it was $13). It was heavenly. I've never tasted yummier and more tender pork slices.
We also ordered the black pig gyoza. To his horror (not mine), the pork filling was almost raw! Yeah... looks like the ground pork that sits in the bowl before being wrapped by the wanton skin. We made a mental note not to order that again.
After lunch, we had our regular gelato ice cream (it's a ritual!). I had Pistachio and Sweet Potato with Chestnut (very sweet indeed). Hubs had Green Tea with Red Bean and Milk Ice.
We were stuffed.
I headed to Kinokuniya as usual and Hubs went to Audio House (another unspoken ritual).
Guess what I found?!
The はんけしくん brand of carving eraser blocks!!!!!! I finally found it! Ever since I bought this amazing and stunning book on eraser carving '晴れときどきはんこ ' ISBN 4391129914, I've been searching all over the place for big eraser blocks. I tried all the major bookstores, art supplies stores and even the tiny ones at Bras Basah. I would never have thought that I would find it here at the Liang Court Kino since the Ngee Ann City main store doesn't carry it.
It cost $8.95 a block.
I wasn't exactly about to part with nine bucks for a slab of rubber. So I let it go this time. I'll just wait for one of those carvish moods to swing by. Besides, I have a big bag of 10 cents erasers (y'know, those with the flags of countries printed on one side?) that served me well through my carving frenzy.
We'll see.
Bought a box of coloured reinforcement rings (320 rings for $1.80, in green, yellow, purple and pink). I have always wanted to make some gift tags.
Other things I bought: a sketch book ($5.25) from the Soho series in Japan, a rough sketch pad that was too cheap to pass up ($2). The cover is so cute plus it's a steal.
We were both beat.
Knocked out for 1.5 hours when we got home. Shiok!
...
Came back from in-law's at around 10 pm.
I'm trying not to think about work tomorrow.
Watched an episode each of Naruto and School Rumble. The latter was hilarious as usual.
Still not thinking about work even though school starts in 8 hours time.
The night is still young...
Yeah..... I love my life.
