Shopping @ Orchard

We brought Joey out for shopping today at Orchard. Dear Dear had to attend a two-hour seminar at Orchard Hotel, so while waiting for him, I walked joey all the way from Orchard Hotel to Heeren in her new stroller. (Poor thing, she looked so grumpy in the photo. Haha)

It was quite a good walk because I haven't been out in the sun for so so long. It being Sat, there were many people in Orchard and for the first time, I was out alone with Joey. The few times we've been out, my mum-in-law was always with me. But today it's really my 1st time going out alone. It was fun because there were people along the way who will smile at joey, or smile at me because of joey or whisper among themselves that she's so cute. Haha..

The scary thing was that I left Orchard Hotel without a single shilling or penny in my pocket. Cos I haven't been out for so long alone, I forgot that I have no Isaiah to rely on for money. And I was so thirsty! It got worse after walking such a long distance under the hot sun. But God is truly a God who meets every need, no matter how small. Just when I was lamenting to myself what a sad life I have, I noticed that many people walking in the direction towards me were all holding a similar canned drink. Immediately I thought that someone must be giving out free drinks infront. And true enough! It was a Dutch Lady promotion for their new Iced Cafe Latte drink! Of course like a true auntie in every sense, I walked up to one of the pretty gals and asked for my free drink. Every mouthful went in with a grateful heart. Thank you Jesus.

But do not forget our God is a God of more than enough. Just 100 steps and a pedestrian crossing later, there was a Starbucks guy giving out free drinks as well! Promoting a new drink on their menu, he was carrying a huge tank on his back and dispensing cups of coffee to the passers-by. Come on, I have seldom seen free drinks given out on Orchard Road. And to have 2??! God is really good. Haha..

Then we met up with Pst Lillian because she said she had something to pass to me. It's a lovely denim dress she bought for Joey from overseas! Nice!
