STUPID MOMENTS
Sakina, Cicik, Dowayne and I went to the Ben&Jerry's Chunk Fest at Fort Canning yesterday. We didn't stayed long though. It was packed with people. And much to our delight, the place was muddy because it had rained earlier. Suckish much. I mean come on, it was the first ever ice-cream festival in Singapore! And it's Ben&Jerry's! It was supposed to be better than that. It wasn't anything that I'd imagined. What a total bust! Best part was, there was only ONE PATHETIC ice-cream stall. So the queue to get ONE PATHETIC ice-cream would be about 2-hour long.
But I have to give Ben&Jerry's some credit. Their ice-cream does bring people from all sort of backgrounds together. You see people from all ethnic groups, from all ages, from all cliques coming together for this festival. Amazing. Besides, their ice-cream rocks! Nothing beats it.

We then went to Marina Square to grab a bite at Burger King and laughed till I had tears in my eyes. We talked about our adolescence days in school and realized how rebellious we truly were. Sakina and I had been kicked out of class umpteen times. Science class, D&T class, Math class, you name it. We sat outside the general office as part of our punishment before, made some teachers cry, made a prefect so mad at us that he cursed at us then we ratted him out and he got into trouble himself. It was insane.
I, too, with another classmate of mine, once took a super show-off rich girl purse during P.E and took her money before finally dumped her purse somewhere. I once wore some ridiculous colored ankle socks to school and had to walk around the ENTIRE DAY barefooted as punishment. I played truant and had 3 weeks of personal detention with the vice-principal! There was also once where I cut math remedial class with my group of friends during my senior year. The execution was perfect. We pretended to ask for some graph paper knowing my teacher doesn't have any left. So she left the class to go get some. Once she was gone, we went out from the back door and ran to the back gate! My oh my! Those were the days. I wish I could go back.
So if you guys thought "They are so irritating with their good girl image and all. It is so sickening!" Well, we're not. Now you know ey. It's just that we grew older and that kinda lifestyle are not for us anymore. We are definitely not perfect. Nor are we that matured. Haha. Believe me, we are just as childish as we were 10 years ago. We just mellowed down a little, that's all.
Anyways, back to Burger King. So while we were eating and chit chatting, we saw a familiar face in the crowd. What do you know, it was Richard. Richard Jansen. He saw us and walked over to our table. Asked the norm "What are you guys doing now?" and "It's been a while man." I thought that was such a nice, friendly gesture from him. To stop and walked over to our table and had a little conversation with us. That was sweet of him.
After dinner, we walked to Suntec City to get a little dessert. Can't help it, Sakina & I have such sweet tooth. Bumped into Dan too while we're on our way there.
After getting sick with Suntec City, we thought about going to Changi Airport Terminal 3 to go get nice cheap simple ice-cream. But we had a little trouble getting out of Marina Square's carpark. Cashcard had insufficient amount! We caused a ruckus. Haha. There were a line of cars behind us and slowly, one by one moved to the other lane. We had to reverse the car and then Sakina & I ran out to the nearest 7-11 to top up the cashcard while Dowayne and Cicik mind the car. Hilarious I tell you! Hahahahaha. But everything turned out okay in the end and we did manged to go to Terminal 3.
Now can you guess what ice-cream we had?
It's Paddle Pop and Mooooooooo! HAHA. It's been ages I had Paddle Pop and this one hit me back to 1992. That nostalgic feeling. 
I had fun fun fun. We had so many stupid moments, so many bloopers of our own. We were so totally random. We laughed till we had tears in our eyes, till our stomach hurts as though we did 18755628 sit ups. Fun times, fun times.
