saturday was spent at ben & jerry's chunk fest with my sis, andrea and car.
my sis and i were supposed to attend our job agent's wedding lunch reception all the way at teck whye, which would put it somewhere in chuo chu kang. the long train journey there made us groan and groan. that is until our mum offered us the solution of taking some tibs bus there. the thing is we boarded the wrong service. well it would have brought us to chuo chu kang....but not 'til 3 hours later. i actually had time to take a nice snooze! woke up and found ourselves at freaking newton and the lunch was ending in 30mins! we were definitely not gonna make it. got down and the bus services notice board informed us that we were only halfway there. omgoodness..do not ever take bus 67 to chuo chu kang from tampines. there are like 60 stops or something!
so we aborted our trip to the far northwestern regions of singapore to head to fort canning for the chunk fest. unfortunately, it rained soo heavily the moment we reached there.
so we headed to some sheltered area and took pictures while waiting for the rain to stop (:
while waiting for andrea and car, we queued 2 hours for ice cream in the mud! and i was wearing shoes argh! and i just cleaned my shoes the day before because i stepped in some construction muddy area as well! and the best thing...we had to pay for the ice cream..it was 11 bucks for 3 scoops. we could have done the same thing at a ben & jerry's outlet and even sit down. graaah all for 6 new unreleased flavours from usa.
so here's us with all the hippie funky signboards placed all around the place.
and here's some peace signs that were made of foam. they were released every few minutes or so...
we did some shopping around town then settled down at fish & co. for their fish & chips around the world! bernice had new york fish chipies which had cheese stuffing in the fish while car had philadelphia fish chipies which naturally had philadelphia cheese stuffing in it. andrea's was italian fish chippies which had tomato stuffing and mine was named fubuya fish chippies. it was the most horrible one out of the bunch because it tasted like miso soup! guess fubuya meant that it was japanese...well they pretty much looked the same anyways.
and here's andrea looking cute while sulking haha..coz all of our dishes came save for hers..
and i'm glad bernice has caught on to my fish & co. craving (((: haha..more soon!

have been cracking my head over what i did on friday. and it was this job i had over at orchard hotel with joy! we had to register people for some talk and collect money for their drinks coupon.
well one of the original workstaff couldn't make it. so my job agent suggested asking my sis since bernice's worked for her before. so she came down to meet me during orchard. here's her and ugly chicken pie from starbucks.
her shift only started at 5pm while i'd to help out with extra stuff since 9.30 in the morning. so here's me looking disgruntled and crappy coz i had less than 3 hours of sleep and super achy arms from wii the night before ): owells but i had a lovely christmas buffet lunch with turkey, lamb, prawns, chicken and the list go on. was soo stuffed!
joy joined us that night. and there was more food! i especially love the christmas pie which consisted of minced fruit stuffing. yummersss!
