Muahahahaha!
Went for the fingergun fight event thingy at Boat Quay on Saturday.
It was wack.
The instruction was to actually find the person holding onto a green plushie which turned out to be a green soft toy snake. I was really tempted to go up to the guy and ask him if I could pose with the snake for a photo. For the kick of it.
Didn't had enough adrenalin in my head to do that though.
According to plan, they were supposed to brief the participants at some secret hideout at around 3.45pm. I went with this silly girl (ahahahah!) and reached about... 3.20pm (um... not sure about the time. I just copied this data off someone)?
We ended up loitering around as unsuspicously as possible til around 3.30pm before heading back to the snake guy to check out the progress of the event. It appears that they already had their participants go undercover since there wasn't any crowd around the snake guy AT ALL.
Unfortunately, when it was about to reach the designated time, it started to rain.
Remember my previous post about it not raining?
Ya, it had to rain that day.
I mean, seriously, I'm not complaining about the rain, but...
Anyways, the rain forced everyone to run helter skelter to find a shelter. I wasn't too concerned about the rain, but hey, I gotta take care of my friend right? (ok, I lied. I don't want to get wet either.)
We ended up at the stairs of some bank and stoned around. One of the participants even came up to me to ask about the event. What was that about acting as inconspicuous as possible? Totally not working.
Anyways, we ended up not being able to catch the whole action due to the wet weather. Seems that they moved indoors to carry out their master plan. Sucks be to us.
So the 2 bored people headed off to Orchard Road. Great Singapore Sales has apparently invaded the streets. We went to a number of places, namely Cineleisure, The Heerens, Takashimaya, Lido and Far East Square. An empty wallet didn't provide much assistance to me, so I had to go home empty handed. It's not that I don't wish to contribute to the economy! The army just doesn't pay me enough!
Have you ever tried getting lost in Takashimaya? That would have been quite amusing. Good thing I have good eyes. All that rain really made me hungry and we were actually intending to eat at Taka's MacDonalds... but it was just way too crowded. Total nuh-uh. Fortunately for us, I know of a better place to enjoy a happy meal. Lido MacDonalds!
There was actually a cheerleading competition right outside Takashimaya. It was so cool watching them throw each other around into the air. I wonder how much pain it would inflict onto the person who lands off cue. Ouch. But still, it was awesome watching all those people dance in sync. All that energy. Wow!
The day
kinda ended with her accompanying me to Ang Moh Kio so that she could wait for her transport there. (It's complicated. Don't ask.) Cause I'm nice. And... she's silly. So I just can't resist her company.
Ok, that's all. You've read enough. Go get on with your real life. Shoo.
