24 December 2008 @ Plaza Singapura and Tampines Community Centre

Yo, it has been so long since I have updated here.
That I apologise, things at home had been rather hectic and I had to wait for Emelia to pass me the pictures though it's not her fault. Don't blame her, blame my family. LOLs...

And wohoo! I recently finally finished 80 E.Maths Questions given by my maths teacher.
Now to do 18 x 4 A.Maths questions in 4 days. OMG....
Had not started on English Summary either.
Book reviews are a disaster.
Chinese not started.

All to be done in 5 days. It's madness.

Well, I am going to talk non-stop about hopeless stuff. Let's talk what I did today. ;)

Johnston, my best friend, had invited to me to watch the movie, "Twilight". His sister, Emelia will be tagging along as well as his schoolmate, Trevor.

I have never met Trevor in real life before, though I had talked with him and played with him online before. It would be great to meet a friend of your friend, huh? :D


We decided to meet to meet at the MRT station near Plaza Singapura at 11AM, though the initial plan was to meet at 12 noon.
The reason for meeting for so early was to allow us to still eat Sakae Sushi Restaurant even if someone is late. Or so we thought.

I reached that about 7 minutes late. I did not had breakfast partly because my family had not bought any and I lazy to buy. (lol.)
I did not bring water bottle too, found no place to put in my new sling bag that my father passed on to me.
I will show you a picture of the sling bag in the future but I do not have time to do so..yet.

Anyway, the MRT station has many exits and it seems I took a wrong turn, I reached the basement of Plaza Singapura.
The reason for me saying I took a wrong turn is due to the fact that we agreed to meet at the glass hall just outside of the building, Plaza Singapura. I had to go to the Ground Floor of the building and go to Glass Hall. Sigh, I think I am now severely late.

When I passed by the StarBucks, I called Johnston, meaning to ask whether they had reached.

Then, amazingly, I'm the first to reach here as they're still at Raffles Place.
Wow, I'm late for the meeting yet the earliest. LOL!

As I did not bring water with me, I feel very thirsty. As luck has it, there is a "7 Eleven" store just outside the exit which is still located in the Glass hall. I brought some sweets to keep my throat wet. Prove to be a good move to make me able to talk to my friends later which losing my voice. Weird, huh? Sweets for breakfast....

After a few minutes, I receive a call from Johnston, he and his sister took the wrong turn too! HAHAs..

And so, we raced to the cinema, ok, not exactly a race since we're like walking towards it. No rush, after all.

I reached the cinema first. No Johnston or his sister in sight. Hmm..I wonder they used the lift or the escalator. Looking down, I saw them, at the third storey. Heehee.

Guess, what I'm up to?

I went to to the fifth floor and waited for them to reach me. Then I said, "BOO!"

Yeah, childish but fun. :D

And so we went to book the movie tickets first. Later no more good seats.

Right, Movie "Twilight", left seats at the far back, if want middle of the cinema, only left seats 6 rows from front. We figured it would be like really middles of everything, so yeah, we chose that seat.

Not to mention, Johnston's Sister, Emelia, tried to secretly take photo of us. We caught her. HaHa...

Here's the first photo she took:
Photobucket
The One in white is Johnston and the one wearing blue with striped collar is ME! We looking to the left, it seems everyone is. LOL!


Right, okay, we're now that camera-shy(not like 'some people') Heehee..
So we took a proper picture this time:
John and Me
John, making a cute face, and me, laughing!


And that reminds me, Emelia made a paper plane for me. So nice. LOL! I still have it in my room. Here's a pic:

Paper Plane by Emelia!


Hey did I mention that Trevor had not reached yet? LOL...but anyway, we bought tickets for him. Hmm..hope he does come.

Meanwhile, we went to visit the arcade because Emelia saw soft toys inside the machines. Then, we went to play a game that you will have to stack up the blocks, if you reach the top, you get a major prize(for this case, a PS3)

Sadly, none of us got it. LOL!, I think the keepers of the arcade must be glad because John was like one more line to reach the major prize. Yep, he's the most nearest to the major prize among us.

Then we we went to look at the make-a-bear shop. I don't know why, I feel that I have came here before, its features so familiar but I'm pretty sure I have never been here because I still need Johnston to explain how the process of making a bear works in this shop. They have clothes, voices, how fluffy you want it and more!

I even saw a car that can 'walk' on glass walls vertically! It's like wow, even though I saw them before. For some reason, it just amaze me. Yeah, I'm easy to please right?

Sometime around there, Trevor called John to say, he just woke up. Ok.....It's now 11:30+. Hmm..the movie starts at 1.10PM, can he make it. Hope so.

We went down back to the basement to see if the restaurant needs queueing, we end up staring at a screen that shows a drama sneak preview(lol?).
It's a japanese drama. Hmm..Never seen one before last time I recall.

Then Emelia did not want to move away, so John went to check if the restaurant is crowded. Apparently not. HAHAs...

And we went to a nearby fish store(actually just opposite of the video store...)

Here's are some amazing things I saw:
Fish with bubbles in its mouth
Some of you actually see this before, me too. But I can't help but wonder why such a thing happens. I want the purpose of the bubble bag.



BLUE CRAB!
Hey Hey! It's rare to see a crab with blue shells, for me anyway. HAHAs



Two Tortoise.
Now that's something you don't see everyday. A Tortoise on top of another.


Goldfish
Fishes
Just Fishes and more! LOL!

Trevor then inform us that he's taking a taxi to rush here but there's traffic jam on the way. It's too late to eat Sushi now. We have to go for Fast Food Restaurant. That means Mac'Donald because we had KFC the previous time.

We went to Mac's first to eat lunch. Emelia was rather furious with Trevor for being so late.

Here's something funny happened when John and I ordered.
We ordered one grillover set, one student meal, o'fillet and one student meal, MacChicken. Then the total pricing for this is SGD$16.00. We heard wrongly and we thought it was SGD$60.00. I think John's eyes almost popped. Luckily, we saw the counter that writes "$16.00" there. Hahas. I took out a $50 notes to foot the bill, that being the note I brought for today.

John was saying, "I thought the inflation had grown so bad that it's $60, even your $50 note is not enough"
We then started laughing.

Not long after we started eating, Trevor arrived. I told no one, but god! He looks like someone, as I seen him before. But I don't who, don't remember. He don't seems to recognize me so maybe it's just me.
He has a rather dark skin.
And he's like us, a very good sense of humour! Wohoo! Go, man! LOLs...

He brought SGD$150, that day. That's alot. Way lot...

Anyway, he was like complaining John calling him early in the morning to wake him up(John called at 10:30AM)
Anyway, that call was futile, Trevor just went to back to sleep. LOLs....

Right, let's cut to the chase, we then went to buy popcorn and stuff and went to watch the MOVIE!

Wohoo!
Ok.."Twilight" is a really almost pure romance movie. Painfully, slow due to that. I want more action in the MOVIE! *Sigh*...

But, the movie was okay.

Light! That movie was the first time I ate my popcorn so slowly, I finished it when the credits appeared. LOL?

Trevor figured that maybe I was so into the movie that I watched without touching the popcorn. LOL?

I think it's because the popcorn was filled with mostly salty popcorn even though John had helped say to the server that I wanted a mix of sweet and salty popcorn.

I mean, I been eating salty popcorn until the movie reached it's middle course.
Then I exclaimed to John, who was beside me,"My first sweet popcorn!"

We laughed, not too loud of course since we're watching a movie.

After the movie, John commented that Emelia kept saying,"suck blood..suck blood" throughout the movie. LOL!?

Trevor did not finish his popcorn. Hm..someone is slower than me! Wohoo! LOL...

As planned, Emelia will return home while the rest of us will go to Tampines Community Centre to play some computer games there.

I had to top-up my ez-link and god, I only have a $10 notes as my smallest change. I wanted to top-up $5 only but it's a machine, and how could it have known I only wanted to top-up $5?

Thank god, John got a $5 spare change. MY SAVIOUR!.. Wohoo!

And so we go.....Trevor keep asking, "Are we there?" "where's the LAN shop? I don't see one"

I won't blame him, when I first followed John to that shop with Marcus, I asked pretty much questions too.

Then we stopped by for toilet trip and Trevor was like saying, "So the LAN shop is in the toilet? I wonder how people play..."

Nice one. Though I suggested the idea first :p

We played a match of DotA first. We shuffle player to be fair.

Here are the team:

1. John, Me, AI+
2. Trevor, AI+, AI+

I pity Trevor because he said he had not played that game for a very long time. Oh well...

Trevor got Tiny, a gay hero for melee heroes, since our side all are melee heroes.

But must say, it had been fun.

I remember this part most:

Trevor was pushing on the bottom lane, to cut off his creeps and I stand before him a bit and he didn't want to attack me because there is a big chance I can kill him since I got full item set and lots of mana. Not to mention, I'm tidehunter :D

Well Trevor didn't want to try to kill me, so he pushed one. Then all of sudden...

John killed his hero.
The best part is that no one knew he was there, no even me.
Trevor was like saying, "What is this!?"

I was saying, "Resistance is futile!"

We laughed...

In the end, we won.

Then it was 7pm in the night. John had to go. Since it's so late, Trevor decided to hail a cab. I will be the first to drop off, at the Ajunied MRT station which I will then take a train back home. John will go directly home and Trevor last since he's footing the bill.

I reached home at around 8pm. I SMSed John to wish his family a Merry X'mas. And went online to do that to everyone else.

And I want to say it here too.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

~THE END~
