Not So Secret Lives Season 2

-
I am blogging now! Hahaha!

Okay, so I was invited by @vveijie to attend a blogger event held at Lunar (Initially, Zirca) hosted by @24Seven and Health Promotion Board.

Met Weijie and one of his friend, @quentria at Clark Quay Station before we head to Liang Court to have our light dinner, crepes.

After that, we head to our destination and finally meet up with other bloggers, Diana and Claudia and we were told that the venue has changed to Lunar.

First time stepping to Lunar, my impression was "very red" and I actually can't help but to laugh when the err bouncer gave Sidney the Are-you-sure-you-are-above-16 kind of look and the Did-you-use-someone-IC- look?

(Aiya, he look damn young liao lah! Ahem, a few people there also thought I am 16 or what.)

Anyway, what is this event all about?

Not So Secret Lives. Does it rang any bell to you?

If that doesn't help. Perhaps you would like to click here for the website that launched last year. Or you might want to read the contest entry I did for them here.

Yes! Not So Secret Lives Season 2 is here! A continuation of season 1 which will be launched on 22 February 2010.

I am kinda excited about this season. :P

Here's one group photo we took.



It was a wonderful event with food, ktv, pool and laughters. Thank You 24Seven and Health Promotion Board for having us there. (Though, I wish I can be more sociable in this social media event.)

PS: Oh ya! We got a pair of free movie ticket vouchers. I want to watch Percy Jackson! :)

Birthday Party & Who To Invite?

-
It's pretty random and weird of me to blog about this. But this topic just randomly came to my mind and I really feel like blogging it out!

(perhaps this can be like a "forehinting" to my friends IF I can have my 21st)

Yes! Imma turn 21 in like what? 96 days? And so are my group of Yr1989 friends. Most of them are planning what to do for their big day already!

So when you pen down your guest list, you will be wondering who shall you invite right?

For me,

1) I Wont/Will/Shall not invite people whom I am not close to.

- Yeah, why would I want to invite people whom I am not close with? I will only end up not talking to him/her and both of us will feel awkward.

And to add on to this point; There was one time, a friend of mine hold a birthday celebration but he/she didn't invite Friend x because Friend x isn't a close friend of my friend.

However Friend x wanted to attend the celebrations because he/she found out that his/her group of close friends are attending and it's been a long time he/she meet them so in other words, he/she wanted to use my friend's birthday celebration to be his/her own private friend gathering.

Friend x didn't go in the end of course, but I was dead sure they will hold a mini private gather at one corner of the celebrations if Friend x appear.

My point is, I hate people who make use of people birthday celebration and treat it like their own mini private gathering!

No, I am not talking about those normal gathering but really those "Lets-grab-some-food-and-then-we-can-go-one-corner-for-our-own-mini-gather!" gathering. Not healthy and very unsociable leh!

2) Do I know your boyfriend/girlfriend? If no, sorry! They are not in my guest list!

- It's normal I guess. Once you sent out your party invitation to your friends, you bound to have a couple of friends who will ask you if they could bring their boyfriend or girlfriend (and most of the time, it's the girls who asked.)

Yes, your other half can come if I know them personally (but I would have invited them myself if I know them right?) No, why would I ask your boyfriend/girlfriend come my party if I don't really know them at all? That will kinda contradict my first point right?

And then friends will reply; "You can make friend when you see them wah!!"

Yes, I love making new friend but NO, I don't want to make friends during my birthday party.

Hello?! I will be very busy on that day already! Where got time to make new friends huh?

And I don't get it why people want to bring their boyfriend/girlfriend to their friend's birthday party when you know that your other half will feel weird because he/she don't know anyone else in the party except yourself.

Friend, just be auto can? Not everything, events or what must spent with your other half!

Interesting how these things came to my mind this morning!


Now, Who To Invite?

1) Gossip-Mongers

- No no no! Not invite them to gossip about you! But these are the kind of people who will spread the words about how great and awesome your party is! You might want to get some Drama mama too. Imagine;

You: "I spent around $xxxxk on this party..."

Them: "OH! YOU DID NOT! WOW!?"

2) Dare Devil

- In my humble opinion ah, I will invite them to make the party lively. All those nonsensical stuff they will do and no doubt, they will be the first to volunteer to any games you had in your party. Agree not?

3) Weird People That You Close To

- Erm, just so that you can laugh at their weird dressing and random things they do during your party? Yeah, I know it's very bad but it's like a topic for you to talk about!

And since we are at this birthday topic, what is the ideal gift for 21st birthday boy and girl ah?

PS: Oh ya! The Who to Invite part hor is based on my preference hor! Don't quote me!

KFC's Egg Tarts

---
Have you all heard? About KFC lastest snack?

Yes! KFC's Egg Tart is here in Singapore!


(Picture credit: CNNGO)

OMY.SG and KFC Marketing Team invited a few bloggers and me yesterday to try out their new delicacies.

It's not just a normal brand X kind of egg tart! It's actually Portuguese egg tart which follows an authentic recipe developed by the famous Margaret Wong.

The event was held at Suntec City's KFC and we, bloggers were served with freshly baked and hot Egg Tarts.

So hot that we have a bit of trouble eating it during the filming.

Yeah, OMY's filming team was there to shot the whole process and also to interview some of us on what we think of the Egg Tarts.

So now, what is my thoughts on them?

I am craving for them now while typing this! No joke okay!

It is crispy and crunchy when I had my first bite. I don't even know what and how to describe the egg custard lor! It's just very smooth and yummy!


SEE THE EGG CUSTARD!

I actually ate three of them yesterday! =x



I actually like how the Egg Tarts look like. It might look burnt or ugly to some of you but they added the caramelized sugar on top of the egg custard which gives them each of it an unique pattern!

I was one of the blogger who was interviewed about this new snack. Click here to watch it.


Oh! Just to give you all an extra information in case some of you all wondering what is the price.

KFC Egg Tarts cost $1.30 per piece or you can buy a box of 6 for only $7.50!



Just take a look at the box! If anyone of you are having potluck during any CNY house visit next week, you might want to consider KFC Egg Tarts!

KFC is kind enough and gave redemption letters for bloggers who attended yesterday to redeem 1 complimentary box! So I am going to redeem mine later on! Muawhaahah! Don't jealous hor!

To add on, yesterday food was on the house too! :D

So go try out these delicious Egg Tarts now!



KFC Egg Tart is available all day at selected KFC restaurant. Please refer to www.kfc.com.sg for full restaurant listings.

Thank You OMY.SG and KFC for the invites. :)

Another Way To Spend Your Day Without Laptops.

Ignore the entry title because I couldn't think of any, hence that title.

BOARDGAME SESSION

Anyway, thank you Smith for telling us about this awesome place, Pitstop Cafe. That day was Pitstoppers Meetup Session (PMS), an event for all board game lovers to have fun and make new friends.



There was free gaming, free flow of drinks and 20% discount off additional orders. Best part of it is the event is open to everyone.

I went with Hisham and Sidney. (Bloggers I know from 24seven) and I was 1hour late. =x Sorry guys!

But ANYWAY! We played our addictive game which is Monopoly Deal! Tell you! I just can't get enough of it! AND I WON TWO TIMES IN A ROW!





We had our dinner over there and I ordered the Sambal Chicken Chop. Never heard of this combination before so decided to try it out. My conclusion?

I Fuckin' love the sambal!

And it only for $7.90. I would say its worth the price! Definitely will try it again on my next visit!

Random pictures! PIAK!





Okay! I shall await for the next PMS. Oh by the way, Pitstop is located at 14 Circular Road.

PICNIC @CEMETERY

Definitely random! Eevon tweeted if anyone wanted to picnic at a cemetery. I agreed and even suggested go during night time! But we decided on the noon time in the end.

Meet up with Amanda first before meeting Weijie and his friend, Ying Zi.

Eevon had something on so she passed us her Pie Kia before she went off. Yep, it was a potluck picnic session.


The pies from Pie Kia!


My pandan cake!


Amanda made these! Yummlicious!

Drinks provided by Weijie.


Come! One picture first!!

Psst: Imma lazy to photoshop so didn't photoshop Amanda face in. Hehe

I know! Some friends think I am crazy to go picnic at a cemetery. Actually, it wasn't as bad and creepy as I thought to be. It was very peaceful and windy!



After that, we went for a tour around the tombs. And we had some silly photo shoot session.





Individual jump.




Weijie.

Did I mentioned that we went to Lim Chu Kang cemetery for our picnic? No? Now you know!

Random picture.



Photo credit goes to Amanda

PS:Oh you can comment now! But I am not able to approve it! Didnt figure out how to!

Spent Your Day Without Facing Laptops.

A few weeks back (if I didn't remembered wrongly lah!) I tweeted that I would like to spend my weekend with nature rather than facing my laptop all day.

And eventually, I really make plans for that coming weekend. Initially, I am going for kite sessions at Marina Barrage with my Godmum's family on Saturday but due to unforeseen circumstances. We only had a simple dinner.

But on that Sunday, I went with a group of my volunteer friends to Pulau Ubin. I have never been to there before but my dad told me that I did, when I was still a kid. So I guess not much memories lah!

Met Tong and Raine before heading to Changi to meet the rest. The three of us were very hungry! And I actually spent 30mins to queue up for the famous Changi Nasi Lemak!

I should have settle myself with other stall's Nasi Lemak lor! Because I don't find anything special about this famous Nasi Lemak leh! The chili is good though.

Half of the group were late. So we decided not to wait for them and head to Ubin first for some coconut drinks.

On the way to jetty, we had this cute conversation.

Me: "Would I be able to see any animals at the island?"

Byran: "Yeah! You get to see wild boar etc..."

Me: "HUH?! BUT I NEVER BRING ANY POKEBALLS OUT TODAY LEH!?"

Byran and the rest: -______________-

But hor, they starts to talk about Pokemon and whatsnot! Alex even say got Butterfree when he saw a Butterfly! -_-"



^ It was ME who asked them that we must take picture with it when we visit Pulau Ubin! Not like that meh? I always see people go Ubin will take picture with this "Welcome To Pulau Ubin"


With Raine and our coconut drinks. It's fantastic!

We went for a cycling trail after the rest arrived.

Photo-whored and admiring beautiful scenery.


Thanks god, Tong bought his DSLR. Just look at the effect! Haha!


We went to this tower for better view but it stink like fart.






I like my hair here. Natural messy!


And that's Tong!


I love this picture a lot!

There are a lot more pictures but Gladys have not uploaded them yet. After that, we had our dinner at one of the restaurant and that marks the end of our Ubin trip.

Anyway, it was one relaxing day out with a few friends and I didn't use laptop for a day! (I refuse to use it even when I get back home that day!)

Oh! Did I mentioned that I fell down 360degree because I was avoiding crushing into Tong's bike. And I crushed into a tree.

Yes! I am sure its 360degree lor! Because I saw the blue sky, the greenness, my fallen bicycle and the the roots of the tree

Amazingly, I didn't suffer any bad injuries leh!?

PS: Actually, I wanted to update on Pitstop and yesterday picnic. But I feel so sleepy now. Shall do that when I am free! :)
