The BI8 Idea
Sat: attended NTU's tea party at Marriott. e prof gave a short briefing and then all headed to the refreshments. (we all cant wait for fooOOd!) duno why out of nowhere a queue started to form. a straight long queue. we could have just formed a circle round the table and tke e food instead of being so oriented. as we sat dwn e prof came to ask whether we had any questions. then another lecturer asked tt as well. seems lyk they are trying hard to get students to tke up their courses. tea party at marriott leh!
after some discussion and eating, we walked down the streets of Orchard. saw SMU samba grp performing to get donations for their trip to Ireland. they played real nice. rhythm in sync and all. their leader is e most enthu one. he plays wif great body movements. maybe i can consider joining samba as cca. den i get to repeatedly play constant set of beats for e whole song..probably on e cowbell. try to get high myself.
headed on to The BI8 Idea! This carnival organised by i-Weekly and 8Days was held over the weekend at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. I reminded mum tt by subscribing to either i-Weekly or 8Days can get freebies lyk the OTO Massager. with my persuasion skills (as if) i subscribed to 8Days! we got the massager and blender. great subscription deal i wld say. 52 issues for a yr!
Sun: went back to the carnival for e Scan n Win. tried to mke it for e 3pm slot tt ended at 4pm but dey stopped e queue just right in front of me. ended up i waited until 5pm for my turn. tay ping hui was e guest at tt time and he went to e booth and helped e first few in line to scan. he scanned for me a L'Oreal toner! lol. there goes my Europe trip! there were cameramen taking photo of us. er isit going to appear in e news nt? cos if it is, i shld haf worn smth nicer. as i type this out i suddenly thot of magazine! most prob it will turn up on 8Days. oh and i witnessed smth tt lk lyk great acting by an old woman and a young lady. who both created a scene and tried to wriggle their way into e queue. i can understand the old woman's actions but why even e young lady do tt as well?
an event tt requires queuing up made me realise 1 fact: elderly pple who got nothing to do will go all around e island and queue queue queue. maybe one day whn i retire i will tke tt up as my job.
today marks the official graduation day for me! last nite turned in way way earlier than usual so tt i get enough slp. end up confused for the first few hrs as to whether i was sleeping or nt. turned up late but the grad started late! it was v boring. first were speeches (i did listen attentively) then the certificate giving. and we had to do a survey asking abt our employment. im going for further studies so did not nid to fill up everything!
before going up stage, the teachers will check our attire and help us adjust. they were v kind and polite along e way, saying congratulations. when it was my turn, i couldnt rmb whether e mc did call out my name, couldnt feel tt i was walking with my feet at all (it was more of floating), and duno at wad speed i was walking at cos i didnt feel i was walking! i could onli see e guest of honour smiling to me and before i knew it i was shaking hands with her, receiving my cert and my photo was taken. oh gosh! after tt was singing of The Flame (song for Sydney 2006 Olympics) by 4 juniors. its v hot wearing the robe but v glad tt irene came!
the photos were damn ex ok! $5 for 2 standalone pieces. $25 with the photo booklet stating only course name (forgot whether gt date nt). $50 with the photo booklet stating own name, course name, and date. see e diff!
irene: thanks for the lovely flowers!

Omnivore? Herbivore? No, Carnivore!
today went to vivo to collect Dragon Brand bird nest and B&J pints. There's nobody at the bird nest bar! the location is too isolated. we walked round and round and round lvl 1 before we found it. vivo is like a maze man! then went Giant and bought pasta. want me to cook lor! so better dun say anything if nt nice.
the bag
the box
the bird nest!
dinner was at Carnivore. No seats were available so we had to sit the high chairs. first up the waiter will explain how they serve the meat and everything then came the appetizer. cheese bread with sauces for the pork (with vegetable cubes) and beef/lamb (use it if u find the meat is too oily? tts wad the waiter said). the variety of free-flow food was very little. there was a dish tt looked lyk fried rice cos of the tiny white bits but its actually a mixture of beans and other things. i learned a new dish today - palm heart. mum asked e waiter and he said plant heart? couldnt hear clearly frm his brazilian accent. it tasted abit sour and chewy. in fact i think it tasted lyk button mushroom. there was also choc fondue.
how Carnivore works is tt e chefs will walk around every table and ask whether you want tt particular meat he is holding. they have alot of meat types! such as pork sausage, chicken sausage, glazed ham, beef, pork shoulder, lamb, chicken, chicken heart..ahhh i cant rmb all e body parts! the meat came so fast tt i have no time to eat one after the other. ended up all turned cold. anyway the price is qte ex but u get to dine in an air-con place watching the sea view. plus listen to the brazilian music.
after dinner we collected the ice-cream! i get to choose what flavours i want! cool! finally know what are mints. and i thought im going to get 3 boxes. lol.
what flavours did i choose? - to be revealed..
the mints!
the postman came knocking at my door on sat. but i was sleeping and didnt open it! i've been pondering over what package i have received. aiyah. now i have to wait after vesak day. i seriously think postmen use v little strength to knock doors. the previous time i was sleeping also den i could only hear faint knocks.
during e wkends we entered our sudoku entries! it seems easier than last yr. we're going to break into the finals tgr this yr!! imagine the glory, the satisfaction, the cash..

received the Asiaone voucher yday. ohh cant choose my combinations of bird nest. they alr stated which type. nevertheless im giving it to my mum still!
my pasta mania experience sucks big time today. i wanted to tke part in their lucky draw so went there for dinner. after order, the cashier did not give me a lucky draw form. she said i used the free drink coupon (given the previous time) and if coupon is used cannot get a stamp cos its bundled with the main course. so tt means the coupon strike off the main course ordered. omg. somemore she said she alr give an extra stamp. sounds like im supposed to be grateful to her. and the draw is not valid with other promotions/offers. so they consider the reward card as a promotion?! the other cashier interrupted and also joined her in explaining. must he be so defensive? i was not even using a harsh tone. wth.
at least e happy thing is i bought a mouse! its v painful to use the scroll pad on the laptop. im someone who can feel electric currents. the mouse is cheap!!

news
Singtel is going to release the iPhone later this year! official at last!
when u go to an arcade or carnival, the prizes that were given away are usually stuffed toys. the question is: why stuffed toys? it's alright if they are cute or cuddly but i hate those types with rough and ugly fur that is not nice to touch. or those tt are supposed to be replicas of cartoon characters yet they dont look so much the same as the original ones.
however today i read in the news that a game arcade in osaka is giving away cakes as prizes. novelty idea to offer food but it's not stated how many tokens to exchange for one cake.

the greatest love of all
saturday was early mother's day celebration with relatives at village wok restaurant. the restaurant although small, seemed to have a long history (purely based on a black-and-white photograph of an elderly couple and the fact that it is a chi restaurant. haha.) we had the ala carte buffet dinner and those dishes which came with sauces mostly were XO sauce. its their homemade recipe and they gave 4 small bottles and a hamper with kaya etc as a gift.
Sunday: while waiting to collect mother's day goodie bag, i wanted to use my Mcdonalds reward pts to buy breakfast. i didnt realise until today tt the pts i painstakingly accumulated can only be exchanged for single entrees. 300 pts for a sausage egg mcmuffin = $60 (every $1=5 pts) tts sky-high price for a burger! but maybe arent supposed to calculate in this way.
took my ID-sized photograph at the instand photo booth. the machine was spoilt so i dialled the number indicated on the screen. and after a while, a lady called back to enquire and later called again to inform me that the machine ran out of paper and tt the technician had already refilled it. so there was this so-called technician stationing somewhere around there? amazing!
we had dinner with mum at hotpot culture at marina. i thought we could eat to our hearts' content by scooping pile after pile of food into our mouths. but there was not much variety of steamboat dishes and the cooked food were not as stunning as they sound. also 8 dishes in total were not served to us at all! a waiter said tt our orders were not in the kitchen. how could a piece of paper just disappear lyk tt? i dont see other tables having this prob. if i had the chance to taste the cooked food, my impression would have changed slightly better.
there was a long queue before and after our dinner but i dont think tts gonna last. of course pple have to try the food first when they know of this place but wanting them to come back again is the main issue. besides, there are better places tt will get them the kick out of having steamboat.
Mi, although i'm not able to offer u many things now, i will in the years to come. im very grateful for ur support and belief in me, especially when i always mke lots of requests. only you are able to bring out the best in me, my treasured mum.

very happening!
i was at the void deck of my hse today and i saw a cockroach on the wall. it must have been a strong cockroach since it can climb walls? well it was crawling and as it was turning the wall edge, a bird (crow i think) swooped frm out of nowhere, grabbed the cockroach in its beak and flew far far away. god! all tt happened in just seconds and right in front of me! i dont feel sorry for the cockroach though.
woah my graduation robe looks so big!! heavy but comfortable. actually was hesitant abt going but now i think i shld just go since its not like an everyday thing tt im graduating right? they also sell class rings, graduation bears, and plaques for holding the certs. why didnt it look tt nice previously when i saw it on the website?
how will i look when i wear dis..

a mistake
spotted lots of mother's day online dedications this yr. qte sad tt cant get selected for stomp mother's day contest. i sent my dedi on the last day then who knows the email bounced back cos dey cant receive too huge attachment size. although finally reached dem but it was considered post-date entry. but then again, my mum doesnt experience any shocking tribulations so i guess it wont be considered touching enough. since what she did are qte common. nevertheless, i still love you mum!
oh yar! i won $10 from AdTag last Sat. This is alr the third time! Haha when will I win $1k? Please let me have luck with AdTag!
I will be having pints of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream soon! comes with mints as well. but what are mints? im guessing its toppings. mum says its mint flavour..how can tt be?
4 may: Went to IKEA to buy bottles. they have nice furniture range, especially the sofas. if i have the $, i will go buy a living room set. qte long since i came to IKEA. but i guess i have to go dere again cos bro used my bottles! now left one only.
although i've heard of Disney Naturally before but only that day i went to try it out for e first time. And my verdict is it's really more suitable for kids. The menu has very little varieties and i think the price is abit ex. but i like the lamb stew though. it has the indian flavour. the orange and raspberry milkshake is too sweet. try the mango one as its better. Nothing much to comment on the pizza except its shaped like Mickey.
there's this shop at anchorpoint called My Princess Kitty Club that sells Hello Kitty stuff. weird thing is i wanted to take a picture of the pretty shop then the shop assistant came out and tried to stop me. i took the shot alr though but she didnt ask me to delete it. or isit she didnt know. lol.

Finally submitted by entry at Sunkist website! Thought of the concept for the picture for sometime but only drew the flag few days ago. I hope I win the Grand prize, or the digi camera is not bad too! I'm in need of a camera!!
29 Apr: Ben & Jerry's free cone day! went to vivo outlet with irene to get free ice-cream! The queue was long man..queue until way outside and zigzag here and dere. they arrange the queue such tt it wont block the way of incoming passers-by. 1st time i see such thoughtful act. it was mostly students in the queue. although free cone day this time round is held in conjuction with raising funds for the children's cancer society, i dun think its tt successful considering the free ice-cream is e main motive. mostly get only few cents.
there was supposed to be activities at the vivo outlet but at tt time i went there was nothing. i ltr knw tt eunice olsen did come in the mrn but what abt e moo bank and whatever names they were tt i couldnt guess what activity it was from the names. so after we got our cones, we admire the B&J cow for a while and went to shop around. i found out tt my Zinc bag is actually worth $42.90. hmm so e bangle and watch is supposed to add up to hundreds? since the necklace is $5. the other one nt sure. or maybe its e french kitty sunglasses tt was the most ex.
A confession to make while queuing in line
u're not seeing double..it's 2 choc ice-cream alright!

1 May: Labour Day! I asked mum whether was she glad tt she didnt have to work. and she said ok lar. what ok? isnt it more than ok to get a day's off! There's this Great Singapore Shopping Challenge (GSSC) going on so we went to HarbourFront Centre to spend $$. had dinner at Sakae since they were holding a draw to send 4 winners every week to dine at a Sakae outlet overseas. Ahhh! i cant wait to win a travelling trip!! when i saw Sakae's mouse shaped like a green frog, thought of buying since i needed a mouse. but its not-for-sale. why never sell the mouse when they are selling so many other stuff? after dinner we walked around Giant Hypermart looking for contest forms to participate. in e end we bought many items but decided not to ask for duplicate receipt so now cant take part in the GSSC! shit lar. found out when i checked the website again. wasted 2 purchases!!
