Like A Fairy Tale Come True, ....

Cinderella.....ripped her shoe ?!

Badly in need of retail therapy, Vern & I frittered our precious Sunday away at Vivocity. In an unfortunate twist of events, my relatively new shoe gave way and the leather strap (Yes, leather. Don't even ask.) ripped apart in wondrous splendour known only to itself.

So there was I, piteous being with a straggly shoe, having to limp all the way to the nearest shoe store to get myself a replacement pair. Unwarranted expenditure aside, what a way to begin the day! Mich crossed her fingers and wished Murphy away.

Fortunately, nothing else went awry, save for a very rude lady at Lver. ( Aside : Mich would like to tell Her Royal Crassness that you aren't the only customer in the queue who's waiting. Quit commenting aloud to nobody in particular. Either you wait or you leave. Simple, isn't it? If you're irritated with having to wait, the queue just had an additional reason to feel annoyed - You. )

In Mich's basket of 4 purchased items were a pair of Lver shorts, Esprit Capris, GG5 blouse and oh well, that pair of replacement shoes. Most of Mich's purchases were on discount ( Finally, inflation minimized!) but the items totalled to almost $200 anyway. Sigh.

Lunch was at Asian Kitchen where the Xiao Long Bao was comparable to Crystal Jade's and Mich foolishly ordered Fried Rice at $12. I know, who on earth eats fried rice at a La Mian restaurant?

Well compensated for dinner was (finally) a decent serving of Ni Hotate Sashimi (scallops) at Sakae Sushi. For the uninitiated, being an avid lover of scallops means that Mich dines at Sakae Sushi at least once a week. Over the last two months, the change in menu had resulted in inconsistency -- Harbourfront claimed the original serving size was 4 and insinuated that Mich was trying to cheat them out of 2 (what cheek!) , Bugis had Mich retching with its foul taste, Parkway Parade served Ni Hotate Sushi instead, Wheelock Place served 4 but the splendidly polite manager reverted to 6 after clarification with the kitchen -- So, yes, Mich was relieved to be served a plate of 6 tangy scallops.

What about You?

What adventures do You speak of pertaining to this particular Sunday?
