Weekends in Singapore

We have been here for close to two years and a normal weekend would be a morning of either a trip to the zoo with ACK or go down to the pool for a while and come back, eat and nap. But most weekends we go to the Mustafa Centre. Many know Mustafa Centre to be the huge 24 hour superstore. Come saturday morning and we get dressed and set out to have a nice south indian breakfast ( to avoid hunger while shopping) and head to Mustafa Centre early to beat the big crowd. Visiting Mustafa means two things, one- we definitely land up buying more than the items listed and two - spend a minimum of two hours there.
Back home, have lunch, take a nap and play with ACK either at the playground or @ home and of course the evenings are devoted to Premiership football.

The roads leading to Mustafa Centre, by now is easily identified by ACK so when we turn into the Mustafa carpark, ACK happily says " we are here, lets go shop". It seems the next best thing to do other than visiting the zoo or swimming. We have had this idea for a while, the authorities must list the name of Mustafa Centre under "Places of Interest in Singapore".
Listed or not, people definitely go there.

Lesson learnt and still learning: either go without money or dont go to Mustafa Centre. ( Latter idea seems best)
