Making Friends and the Walk Home
By jeni | July 9, 2008
How long will it take Jeni to make friends? I’m not sure, but I know one thing – no one can resist my sparkling personality once they meet me. 😉
Today I ventured out to a pilates class in an effort to actually meet some people (oh yeah and exercise too) and I’m pleased to say – it worked! I actually tried to go to this class yesterday and it was canceled, but luckily enough, a British woman also had the same idea, and she introduced herself and asked me if I wanted to go for coffee. Then today when I went, I was chatting with a few of the women in the class, and they invited me to lunch. Lo and behold, two social events in ONE DAY. I am a veritable social butterfly.
My coffee date this afternoon was at Tanglin Mall, about a 10-15 minute walk from our place, so I took a few pictures during my walk home. Below you’ll find a few pictures of the nicest furniture store I’ve ever seen, with lines from Versace home and Fendi casa. I didn’t even know Versace and Fendi made furniture. I am dying to know how much a couch from one of these lines cost, but I wasn’t about to step foot inside wearing a t-shirt and flip flops. Sorry about the reflection in the window, I know it makes the furniture sort of hard to see.
Across the street, the Tanglin Shopping Center. This is not a mall. No no, just a center with a few shops. The malls are enormous. We’ll see those later. Notice the construction signs – that’s just because they are working on the landscaping. They are working on landscaping everywhere to make sure the city is beautiful. It’s really nice.
And of course on the way home, Jackie Chan’s Cafe. I don’t know if he actually owns it, but it looks really nice inside. And the outside isn’t too shabby either.
See that little yellow truck? All the construction workers ride around in the back of those. They all have little signs on the back that say their maximum speed and how many people they can carry.
And finally, some shots of the corner and the walk up to Treetops on my way home. I couldn’t resist getting the tour bus. Maybe I should take one of those? I do want to be hip. 🙂
