Monopoly Macdonalds


I'm a big loyal fan of Macdonald since young but I'm really trying to cut down on the cravings due to the FATs I would gain. But thanks to this monopoly contest which came back after a hiatus, I kinda put all the weight loss plans away hoping that I could win the $80,000 or that Macbook air.

On every week, I will be seen munching my burgers away while sticking those stickers on my Monopoly sheet. I'm glad that I have colleagues who are as enthu as me as well. We will exchange stickers and hoping that on one fine day, we will walk away with a CAR or $80,000 (fat hope.. I know!)

Our extra monopoly stickers. Threw alot away due to the repeated places I have :(


Here we are again at United Square Macdonalds during lunchtime. This is what all of us would be doing before we start our meal - tearing all the game labels apart. Hahaha!

As usual, we won nothing big in the end but just a small packet of fries which I think was a good consolation price.
A small packet of fries for the lovely Japanese lady. :)

Friends out there who are playing/not playing this Monopoly contest, please kindly keep a look out if you have the below game labels and do share with me if you have it k?

- Joo chiat Road
- Toa Payoh
- Thomson Road
- Tanjong Rhu
- Shenton Way
- Orchard Road ( I will probably sell the car away and share the prize)


Here are the list of current unclaimed prizes. The $80,000 prize had been claimed. :(


Fright Fest at Singapore Flyer

When I knew that I have won 2 tickets to FrightFest @ Singapore flyer media launch (thanks to Omy.sg), I was as happy as a lark. This is the very first time in my 25 yrs of my life that I am going to meet the Pontianaks and hantu. I brought my boyfriend along with me for this event just in case the event was too scary for me. :)
Tickets cost $25 nett – Includes entry into FrightFest @ Singapore Flyer Rainforest and 1 Special Halloween Brew (non-alcoholic)*

It was a pity that I didnt have time to shop for a halloween outfit or accessories and hence I ransack my wardrobe and manage to pull out a dress and a horn for this event.



The day finally came and I met the boyfriend at Suntec at 7pm. We had a quick dinner and made it at the event at 7.45pm. We were pretty lost at first as it was a pretty long time since we had went to Singapore flyer. The very last time was 2 years ago when we have got 2 tickets to NDP preview and 2 years later... there's a new eatery food junction at the Singapore Flyer!!

We made our way to the Singapore reception counter and was greeted by a few 'scary' people. Oh boy, I can see that these people are really very enthusiastic with the halloween theme. During the registration, I was shock to realise that the organizer for the event was one of my secondary school friend, Fulvia. Even though we were both from different classes, I'm glad that she could still remember my name. :)

The event started not long after we have all settled down. Since this was a media launch, we will be seeing only 60% of the pontianaks on that night. Still, I was feeling really excited and scared at the same time that the haunted jungle is too much for my timid heart. 

The entrance to the haunted jungle..




Camwhore a little while waiting for our turn to enter into the very eerie jungle. Trust me.. hearing the first batch of people shouting isn't really helping me to conquer my fear.

Pieces of Talismans were seen almost everywhere in the jungle.

After 5 mins of waiting, it's finally our turn to enter into the dark jungle. We were greeted by this old lady who was smacking her clogs on the paper man and was cursing at in in Cantonese.

All of us started snapping photos of her until she suddenly stood up and scare us by shouting in Cantonese. I nearly threw my camera into the plants and run. A girl in front of us was so frightened that she took a step back and stepped onto my bf's feet. Ha ha ha!!!

We walked further into the jungle and out of nowhere, a ghost appeared in front of me. She's a rather nice ghost cause when I asked her to take a picture, she stood there for me to proceed. Good ghost!


When my heart was much settled into the environment and was talking to my boyfriend about the decorations which the event organizer had put so much effort in, 'HE' had to BOO me and scare the shit out of me. My boyfriend was laughing out loud when he saw me shouting like a 3 yr old girl. My boyfriend even asked him where was his buddy that night. Guys!!!

See how happy my bf is! After snapping this photo, I realised that the 'ghost' looks rather funny and cute instead of scary. Maybe it is just me who is afraid of 'HIM'. I kept asking my bf to beat him up when the 'ghost' try to catch me. HAHAHAH!

After all the scary moments, here comes something really funny!!

This lady here doesn't really appear to be a ghost to me. She was kneeling down on the floor, crying when we saw her. She stood up when she saw us approaching and told us that she was really sad that her so-and-so passed away. She plead us to look into the coffin and pass us a joss stick. We didn't know what to do and hence we stood there with the joss stick and asked each other 'WHERE TO PUT THIS JOSS STICK'. With nowhere to poke the joss stick, we put it on the floor and walk away. This lady made it so realistic as she kept putting her head down and asking us to look into the coffin. 5 star for her drama-ness!


2nd laughing moments:
This cheeky ghost took a feather duster and tickle my leg when I walk pass him. The jungle was in total darkness and when I felt something poking my leg, I told my bf that there's something on my leg and he was like.. NOTHING LEI (cause the feather duster was only poking at me).. ORH.. THERE'S THE GHOST!

A nice pretty ghost.. YEs.. I was sweating.

Here's some pictures of the deco.

 

The fright fest was really frightening and I'm calling out to all daring friends out there who wants a taste of a fearful experience to PLEASE KINDLY MAKE A PURCHASE TO THE FRIGHT FEST Singapore flyer.  
After a good frightful time at the frightful fest, it's finally.. the SINGAPORE FLYER TIME!

I didn't know Singapore looks so nice till I'm on top of the flyer. 

The complementary Halloween brew which taste really nice! I really wonder what was in that drink.


That sort of sum up my whole experience in the Fright Fest Media event which I was invited by Omy.com.sg. Thank You OMY!! I'm gonna show you some pictures to end of this gruesome post.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

My top ten favourite past time..

I am 3/4 done with my report when I decided to just give myself a short rest and blogged. I was trying to think of a title and finally came up with this. I couldn't blog much about my outings since I have not much agenda for any outing. :(

So what's my favourite top ten things to do if I have NOTHING to do?

10. Doing the 4 minutes work out.
The 4 mins work out was being introduced by Rachel when we were having our dinner meet last month. She was telling me that her friend had lose loads of weight doing the 4 mins work out. I went to check on it on Youtube and I was amazed by the number of 4 mins work out video youtube has. I picked one of the less tedious video and did it. I didnt lose any weight still since I do it only when I have time but hell did I enjoy jumping around along with the video. I enjoy it most when the bf follows me. You guys should try it out!

09. Munching tidbits
I know munching tidbits is reaaallly... very unhealthy but this is really a good de-stress method at least for me. I love it especially when the tidbits I am eating is something new in the market yet taste very nice. Some of my favourites are, Lay's Kyushu Seaweed, Pocky, Pringles and many more!

08. Checking on discounts/sales in the internet
This is really something that I do very randomly if I'm extreamly bored and have nothing else to do. I will head to reebonz.com to check out on the bags even though I know I could not really afford it, Zuji.com.sg to check if the airplane tickets prices drops and checking on groupon.com.sg or any of such websites to see the upcoming deals.

07. Watching tv programs on channel 8 or 5
It's really wierd on how I only spent my time watching local tv programs. I used to only watch SCV TV shows when I was still a student but now.. I guess with the only 3 hrs of leisure time I have from Monday to friday, the only nice programmes then is.. channel 8 local drama at 9pm. :)

06. Checking on facebook almost everywhere I go
Everytime I feel alone or someone ignores me for a sms/games (my bf does that almost all the time), I  will just logged into fb on my mobile and scroll down with all the updates. Some of the updates really makes me laugh, smile or feel sad but well.. I guess this is really a past time I spend most of my time doing.

05. Reading magazines
Reading magazines is like a therapy for me. Whenever I feel tired from a day at work or play, a magazine just never fails to perk me up. The models, beauty tips and food tips could just make me stuck on it for hrs. My favourite magazines are I zhou kan(local), Her world mag, Cleo and time out magazines.

04. Blogging
I really love to BLOG even though I do not have a forte in writing but I just love to express my feelings through writing. It's really a pity that I could not blog as often as compared to the past but I will TRY! It's really sad that whenever I'm at some splendid place and snap some shots so that I can blog, I just couldnt find the time doing it and when I finally could.. I FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! Darn!!

03. Facial moments
I have only been to a facial parlour once and that's my last even though I enjoys it. I just like it more when I'm putting on my mask at home with no one pushing any sales to me. I love it even more that I do not need to make any appointments and have the freedom to do it anytime I like. Till date, I have 8 boxes of taiwan masks, 2 boxes of facial products from Laniege and soon... I'm gonna splurge on SK2 products when my company has the SK2 sale. *can't wait*

02. Blogshopping
Blogshopping is like my 2nd best thing to do during my free time. It's woman's best thing on earth, I proclaimed! Haha! Here are some of the fantastic blogshops I would recommend to you. http://www.shopalabellavita.com/, http://www.hollyhoque.com/, http://www.dressabelle.livejournal.com/ and http://www.lolliepopbestie.com.sg/.

and my hot FAVOURITE PAST TIME WOULD BE........



01. Reading blogs
Lol! Yes.. I love to read blogs. My bf knows it best. I can spend 1/2 of my day during the weekends to read blogs. I will just lay on the bed like a dead corpse and read on their lifes, products which they have been sponsored and then get inspired by them. Sigh.. what a boring life I have aeh! Hahah! So if you think that you're just like me.. do feel free to read these fantastic blogger's blog.
