Time - Almost midnite
Me (while crawling under my duvet cover) : I want my bavaria bundt pans! … (and making my 2 inches long pouting mouth)… they don’t ship to Malaysia… (still grumbling and sulking)
Nik : Kat mana lagi dia jual?
Me : Singapore……
a few minutes after that…… zzzzzzzzzzz……….
Day - Friday
Time - Just before lunch
Me texting Nik……
Me : Jom ride to Singapore!
In a split second… he replied
Nik : when?
Me : amboiii… laju nye reply kalau nak ride….. hehehe
Nik : Tengah review report lah…..
Me : I want to buy my bundt pans…..
The ‘texting activity’ continued for another few more minutes…. and a few hours subsequent to that conversation, I had already booked a hotel room, managed to get hold of the address of ToTT store and planned the journey...... yeap! We were going to Singapore to nail that bundt pans!
5am, Saturday, we were already on the bike heading to Singapore. The weather was great… it was a very cooling morning and the ride was good. We reached Singapore around 9am after making 2 stops for gas and went straight to my uncle’s house. Had lunch there and after that, we were out on way out to the streets of Singapore….
Jalan Besar, Lavender Street – they were Nik’s territory… then it was my turn… Paragon & ToTT Store… !!!
My jaw dropped as we stepped into ToTT Store @ Dunearn Street. See it for yourself…..
Even the entrance to the shop made me go nuts!
You see.... chopping board in all colors, sizes and shapes... That's it!
I'm getting that yellow board the next time I go there!
Beaters as big as me....!!! For ogre perhaps!
Look! Look! Look! Sea of bundt pans and baking pans.... I almost fainted in this section!
yes..... losing my breathe there.....!
But still they ran out of my Bavaria Bundt Pan!!! Darn!!!! I came all the way for you!!! No luck I guess
Well, after spending more than 1 hour inside the store (that my pocket almost ‘koyak’!)… we left with 3 BIG bags. yes, we took a cab there…. and when we reached my uncle’s home…
I thought.. “….oh!! we didn’t drive, we only had our bike… and these pans….how on earth....@!#$%%^&^”
So we left most of the stuff at my uncle's house and we planned to go again in March to collect them.. and we will be driving, yes!
But I couldn’t go back empty handed, now could I…. so I hijacked 1 bundt pan and shoved it into Nik’s tank bag… woot! woot!
So nice eh....?
hahahha …. the rest I had to leave them behind… oh! my poor pans!
We left Singapore around 9pm and reached Johore 1 hour after that, the same day. We checked into Thistle and that night I slept like a baby…. I was the happiest person on earth! heehehehe
We left Johor the next morning around 6am…. (with a pan in the bag)!
I guess that was the shortest trip we’ve ever made to Singapore… and yet the most satisfying one!
