A Groovy Hectic Sunday

I woke up early on Sunday morning at 6.30am because I have to fetch my darling back to his home for the Qing Beng Festival. I did not follow him because I've planned to go to the market with my mom to buy chicken feet (I wanted to make stewed chicken feet). I reached home around 7am after fetching my darling. My mom said she needed to sleep for a while more. I waited for her whilst surfing the net. Time passed by and my mom finally woke up at 8.15am. We've to cancel the market trip because by the time we reach market, the chicken feet have all ranaway. Instead we decided to go Giant Hypermarket. While preparing my shopping list, I enjoyed my cup of white coffee sip by sip. It was really relaxing! I planned a scrupmtious sunday dinner: Grill BBQ Chicken with baked mash potatoes & coleslaw and Soya Bean Jelly with longan.

However later on, mom have to discard the plan to go Giant because Chloe girl was here at 10am. Sis will be bringing my mom for hi-tea at 12.45pm. I have to go to Giant alone. With the desire to buy chicken feet and ingredients for dinner, I headed to Giant around 1.15pm. There was no chicken feet avaiable. (Guessed I have to postpone my thought). After about an hour at Giant, I went to fetch darling from his house. We reached home around 2.35pm. I started preparing the dinner right away.
