Well... sort of.
I just came back from supper with some friends. I was walking around one of the coffeeshops, near Bugis area, deciding what to eat.
One of the stall owner aunties kept promoting her food, it was a zhi char stall. Pictures of fried cereal prawns, sweet and sour pork, etc were found plastered around the stall.
It sold my favorite sambal chicken "ding" fried rice, so I decided to give it a go. I didn't usually buy from this stall, but since the auntie was so persistent, I just went for it.
The plate came and I paid $5. After finishing half the fried rice, I realised the chicken "ding" tasted really unchicken-like. Almost tasted like old old meat. Or wait a minute...
I bit a piece of chicken in half, and to my surprise, the insides look kind of tao pok-ish. Something's not right here.
I looked at the stall again. To my horror, there it said, "XXX vegetarian food" in really small letters on the top of the signboard.
I just paid $5 for rice and tao pok. Man! I felt so dumb!
But Yuzhen said, oh, the other time, we ordered many dishes from the stall, "why all the food deep fried one ah?" and realised it was vegetarian too.
(Wow, this stall had many victims!)
I am a meat person, so I ordered chicken wings to supplement my supper. This time, I double checked the signboard to make sure.
Man!

How Bazaar!
Last weekend, WYZ had their first ever bazaar in JW and EXPO. 
Every CG got involved to set up their own stalls. It was tremendous, as you see creativity oozing everywhere, from the things they sell, to the deco of the stall itself.
Obviously some stalls took this bazaar very seriously...
Anyway, we ourselves had a stall set up. 
Called, ehem, "Pretty Nails" with our nail painters, Esther Chew and Esther Lee, providing nail sticker, jewel gluing services. 
Of course they are pretty thus the stall name. Even got male customer for nails. Imagine that!
I decided to give nail painting a go, had one of my thumbnails glossed black. As if someone hammered my nail. I was not alone, had my first guinea pig, penghuat as i tried nail painting on him. 
Obviously it turned out horrible, well, what can you do if his nails are ugly from the start. Haha. Joke.
We've got stalls selling those lightup tshirts, that light up according to music. Stalls that sell twisted balloons, Self-drawn notebooks by Huimin,
Self-drawn shoes, 
Self-made accessories by Clara, 
vintage clothing from famous brands, Beeleng even brought her iSqueeze machine for foot massage at $6. Wasn't too bad at all. Got a hand massage from Bernice, which was really quite professionally done. Jasper wrapped things up by trying to auction off this giant jig-saw puzzle...
Next time we do auction lah...

Meow Meow
Beeleng, Shawn, Elyn, Joyce and myself are going to watch CATS the musical this Sunday @ the Esplanade.
It's the first time I'm going to watch a real live award winning musical. For those of you who have not heard of CATS, its up there with Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, etc.
Cats has been performed around the world in numerous productions and has been translated into more than 20 languages.
Actually I was contemplating going for the Grasshoppers concert. (why are there so many groups named after animals?) But we decided to go for CATS instead. Grasshoppers can wait till later.
Anyway, I paid $212 for 2 pairs of tickets. I think it's going to be absolutely worth it!

Where is everybody?!
Wow, was in town with Joyce yesterday celebrating a special occasion.
We were just walking around Cineleisure and the Heeren and I cannot help but notice how empty it has become.
Has it always been so empty on a weekday night? I used to go to town on weekday nights pretty often when I was in my teens, and it used to be alot more human traffic than this.
I remember the default to be after school is Lido. Sad to say, not many people go there now because the seats and all are quite run down.
Some shops even close early, and hardly any shoppers around. The Thai express on the top floor was very empty.
Probably goes down to a few reasons:
1)recession, everybody wants to save during tough times
2)more malls, with more heartland malls being built, human traffic thins out
3)better tv shows, people are rushing home to watch the channel 8 "ping pong yuan"
4)exam period, students want to study
Come on Singapore, everybody go spend some money to boost economy!

V8 Cafe
We celebrated Aileen's birthday the other day at Bugis after service Junction's V8 cafe. It's located at the old Billy Bombers on the 3rd floor. 
Many of us were there. Jeremy, Dick, Felicia, Aileen (duh), Adam, Alicia and our new found chio friend, WanShin. 
A sweet young thing.
2 usher VIPs were also present. Haha. The food was not too bad, and the price was quite cheap. Ordered a fish and chips for $8.80 and it even came with soup. The staff service was friendly too!
Happy, ehem, 18th Birthday Aileen!!!
After that we went to explore the new shopping mall opposite Bugis Junction. I was huge but many shops were not open yet. I have to say,there are more and more new malls sprouting up.
