So many long weekends this year. And they don't affect me at all. Hmm...
5th December 2008, Friday
We found a nice spot to rest for a while.
The chandeliers swayed like a snake.
Next up we decided to go to PS where the ladies got some drinks. Edwin and gang were still at the Chunk Fest, so we decided to meet up later. Claire had to go off for her class gathering dinner buffet at Orchard Shopping Centre, so she left earlier. So left Jacelyn and I to settle dinner ourselves. We went to ThaiExpress @ PS for dinner, before meeting up with Edwin.

There was a wishing tree. We wrote our wishes and hung them on the tree. Pls grant me my wish!
So Edwin and I decided to check out Timbre @ The Substation after that. Super long queue as usual. Therefore we went to The Pump Room @ Clarke Quay instead. We haven't been there before and therefore decided to try out the place. Nothing much inside too. And the fat mama on stage really freaked the both of us out. Why the hell did they get her to be the backup singer? We merely hung around the bar counter having our beer, then quickly left for home. Boring...
It's been a lazy Sunday. Everyone else is having CFA exams, JLPT, Standard Chartered marathon, etc... I stayed home to ZZZzzz... And had to study for my upcoming Japanese qualifying test at JCS. So far only touched one chapter. だめです.
5th December 2008, Friday
Went out for dinner with Sharon, Siying, Yaokun at some Tampines kopitiam's zichar. Happened to meet Ah Ben there. Got so zhun or not. He's working at Tampines Citibank woo. So after dinner we decided to head down to the Mac at Tampines Mart. Chose a nice spot for the four of us to start our bored game session. Everytime we meet up Sharon for bored games, she'll bring some new games to introduce us. I think she can start her very own bored games cafe soon lol. First we tried Chez Geek. Quite an interesting game, but somehow similar to Citadels or Magic Cards. We also played some "fishing game" which involves memory. One round of the game required much of our brainjuice already, therefore we went back to Chez again. Sharon din not manage to win any games, until the last one. There was a card which is a Person card - The Whiner whose line goes "This game sucks. I never win!" And Sharon was holding onto the card, but eventually managed to win the game. Hahaha.

6th December 2008, SaturdayAt first the plan was to meet up with Edwin, Hock Seng, and one of their friends. However I was still trying to get more people to join us. Therefore managed to psycho Claire and Jacelyn lol. Met them at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station and then we went to Fort Canning. The stupid weather was freaking hot and humid. Therefore the moment we reached the Ben & Jerry's Chunk Fest area, we were quite put off by the crowd, weather and worst of all, the muddy terrain. Claire snapped some pictures of the event, and we quickly ran off.
I realized that Edwin was in the picture that Claire took. Hahaha!
Happened to see the National Museum of Singapore nearby, so we thought of going in for a look. It's a new extension building to the original NMS, with beautiful architecture and decor. There was one moment when the hanging chandeliers started swinging from left to right and back! Looks quite nice too. However it reminded me of some haunted house with swaying chandeliers.

We then made our way back to Fort Canning. The scene seemed as crowded as before. The ice-cream queue snaking all the way for like 200m. Bobianz lah so we just queued up. Took about 20 mins before we reached the counters. ICE-CREAM! Actually hor nothing special about those "US Flavours". We all ordered two flavours each. Mine was Triple Caramel Chunk, plus the staff-recommended Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl. The Peanut Butter was SUPER PEANUTY! It's almost like eating peanut butter. We hung around the Fort Canning Centre to enjoy our ice-cream. Then enjoyed the concert from the building itself, although had to stand all the way. Those bands played really good music, most of which are the more popular tunes heard on radio these days, as well as those classic rock songs. The Goodfellas were playing, as well as 53A. I also saw Boon Leong together with his family queueing up for ice-cream. Looks like everyone loves ice-cream. We chatted and enjoyed the music all the way until some DJ Rough came onto the stage. Jacelyn had to go off cos she had to invigilate for the next day's CFA, waking up at 5am!
