Another Weekend Gone...

Xueyan's persistent coughing and sneezing meant a sleep-in for us this weekend. I was up early today to do the laundry, giving Ms Wee some time off to rest. The weekends are what kept us going at the workplace. Saturday was spent window-shipping, first polishing the chickens off the plate at Nando's, then getting Xueyan's bracelets fixed at Tiffany's, finally a stroll from Old Bond Street to Leicester Square. Have not had such a leisure walk for quite a while.

I mentioned earlier that I met up with a long-lost friend last week and this "meeting old friends" theme seems to run on, and guess who we met today? Ms Goh Pei Pei - yes, from CFCC! I know she's here in London and staying in the Canary Wharf area but I have not seen her in my 20 months here. And of all places, to meet at the Reebok gym. We reminisced about the time in Singapore, her disdain for local food and intolerance of the cold British weather. And we endeavoured to meet up for dinner soon, now that we are finally in touch.

I had intentions for a "photo-visit" to the Motorexpo, held on the open grounds of Canary Wharf but was too lazy to bring my camera along. From the classic Morgan Aero to the awesome(and of course expensive) Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren coupé, they definitely set many mouths drooling (and wallets dripping). Xueyan was tempted enough to sit behind the steering wheel of a BMW Z4 (can see, can touch, cannot buy). So many posh cars, even a Maserati Quattroporte looks normal. One car did catch my attention though - Audi R8. A truly unstated beauty which seems to have that perfect combination of power, performance and pulchritude.

And there goes the weekend. Can only hope the next will be better.
