Mercedes-Benz Design Workshop Singapore 2007 - Design with a Heritage

Went to "Mercedes-Benz Design Workshop Singapore 2007 - Design with a Heritage" at NAFA with Wei Qi yesterday. It is the first Asia design workshop held by Mercedes-Benz. Though not a fanatic of cars but I was still not able to resist the temptation of climbing into one of the displays and imagine myself driving it. The feeling of sitting in the driver's seat of a Benz is simply fantastic. Holding the steering wheel of one makes me feel that I am in charge. The feeling of possessing power is great! Had been a passenger on a Benz several times but have yet to be a driver of one. I'd love to try that someday. HeE~!

Here are some pictures I took at the design workshop:

Left the workshop when it ended at 3PM. Wei Qi wanted to eat Rochor beancurd so we made our way back to Short Street. While we were walking, the aroma of roti prata attracted us. The aroma led us to an Indian coffeeshop opposite Fortune Centre where we fed ourselves with delicious prata. As we were both too full after the meal, we decided to give Rochor beancurd a miss.

From there, we walked down the row of shophouses and discovered a Korean supermarket. Found many Korean products and tidbits there. Bought two packets of fried rice cake crackers, two packets of spicy rice crackers and a packet of orange chocolate. Of these, I really like the fried rice cake crackers. It tastes sweet and spicy. Mashee-eessoyo!

Yummy fried rice cake crackers.

After paying the cashier, we moved on to OG@Albert Street. Finally found and bought the pair of aviator shades I wanted. Continued to walk around the departmental store but found nothing else I fancy.

Went back to Parco Bugis Junction after leaving OG. Wanted to buy a schedule book for the year 2008 from Kinokuniya but it seems that their branch at Parco Bugis Junction does not carry any. Went over to A'NBC instead and found many cute schedule books from Disney, Sanrio and San-X. After browsing the collection for a while, I decided to get a very girly Hello Kitty schedule book. All the pages in the book are in pastel colours and the cover is in baby pink. Suits my princess image perfectly! HeE~!

The princess diary.

Unable to resist the cute designs, Wei Qi bought a small Mame Goma schedule book too. Both of us are happy with our purchases. =)

As my feet hurt from all that walking in wedges, we had to end our shopping trip there and go home.

Geez! I had been shopping for three consecutive days! Total damage for the three days is about $1K! I better stop visiting shopping malls for a while before I spend another $1K. Friends, if you love me, stop me. If you cannot stop me, please pay for my purchases. HaHa~! Just kidding!
