When thriftiness can still be fun!

It's that time of the month again;
the last week, my poorest week.
But wait, my next 24hours can still be fun!

From 7am onwards.

For the first 6 hours: A visit to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve.
Find it there at one of Singapore's Last Natural Habitat-the mangrove;
There's plenty of fresh air and wildlife for everyone for the price of only S$1.

Next 4 hours: A visit to the saloon.
Through an assignment for a hair model competition,
I got a $1000 saloon cash voucher;
a free hair cut + hair spa treatment + new colour + wash and blow.
They serve hot tea and little snacks.

I felt like a 4-hour tai tai;on complimentary.




Next 2 hours: At home spending time with my love ones.
Playing and walking my 4-month old puppy, Bubble, requires full concentration and energy. Dog-lovers will agree with what I say: This is great exercise.



Sometimes, my 2 hammies comes out and play along with Bubble.




That's a priceless and full-of-love 2 hours spent.



Next 2.5hours: Watch a local Soccer match.
A 5-min walk to the Stadium.
If you're as lucky as I am, you might get a free Anderson's ice-cream cup.
A great dessert after homemade dinner.

This $5 ticket is all worthwhile.



The last 8 hours: A good night's sleep.
Nothing beats a good night rest.
I am holding on to this pillow bf's mother gave to me.



See, my 24 hour can still be really fun and heart-warming.

What will happen if I have $8000 to spend for 24 hour instead?
I will go for a 24hr ultimate make-over; one that will enhance my external appearance for good. I've already made plans for it: braces, eyebrow emcroidery, facial. Can't help behaving like a vain pot.

How about you?!

OCBC will be giving away $8000 to 3 people with the most creative and interesting ideas on how to spend $8000! The ideas will also be filmed on TV!

All About Eve Bar + Duet Singing Contest

Picture these scenarios:

Scenario 1
You have just knocked off from work. Some colleagues and you wish to avoid the heavy traffic flow in town. The cramped cabins of the train, the crawling traffic, the heavy crowd in shopping malls...

Scenario 2
You intend to meet up someone for makan-and-catching up session. You wonder what to do after dinner: Watching a movie (means very little catching up time), Window-shopping around in the mall(tiring & you can't walk for hours non-stop), KTV session in the evening (too expensive).

Scenario 3
You and your lovey-dovey partner wants to spend some private moments together; have a drink, sing some songs as well as to listen to them, just stare into each other's eyes for hours.

Scenario 4
You are by yourself and just wishes to relax after a long busy day...

Scenario 5
You want to watch Soccer with some of your brothers and realize you have nowhere to watch it conveniently.

Nave and Norman were one of the customers there to pamper themselves with the food.


The interior of the bar is cosily furnished;
High ratten seats, parquet flooring and squarish tables just the right size for friends to mingle around without having to shout at the top of their voices. The 3 LCD plasma TVs will guarantee a good view of the MTVs and soccer screenings shown, no matter at which table you're sitting.

Spamming

I've been spamming on facebook pleading people to vote for CCBmedia video.
We really hope to win that $8000 to fund our production.
Imagine we could spend on props, a better camera, tripod, some lights and best of all, rent some cool places to film our new production videos! But in order to win that, we need to hit more than 600 votes!

*Heave Of Sigh*

We have decided to do meaningful comedies and to help our local bands film MTVs. These work will be posted on our website, www.ccbmedia.com.

I have been taking lots of naps.
Bubble is learning to sleep next to me quietly in bed.
He is such a darling.
Everywhere he goes,
people wants to carry him.
Except for having to clean up his poo poo,
i love every single thing about him.

I want a makeover.
I realize 3things all celebrities have:
Healthy and smooth hair,
a set of white and straight teeth and
really healthy complexion.

I'll work on it.

THANK YOU!

All Aboard!

I had a 'Heaven-Of-A-Time' on board this Magic Cola Bus!
The coca cola theme song was play on repetition now it's stuck in my head for good.
Tiffany played a really good host- the happiness crew of Coca Cola.
Make a guess what material is the Cola T-shirt made from?

You'll never guessed it, It's made of recycled COCA COLA BOTTLES!

Goh Wei Jie, the 12 year old torchbearer who ran 12km holding the YOG torch. The moment this young, promising boy ran into the YOG HQ passed me, I was in tears of pride. You know what? He had a whole school of supporters backing him up. And they all ran after him chanting at the top of their voices," Go Wei Jie Go, Go Wei Jie Go!'

The weather was sorching HOT. And so were our YOG spirit!

These torchbearers came well-prepared.

Yongwei claims that he's cold and felt like putting on his jacket. I wonder if my eyes were playing tricks on me when I spotted beads of perspiration accumulating under his chin... On the other hand, Silver Jie finally came wearing leggings and a jacket.

2.45pm: Everyone got ready to board the Red Bus.

Look how ecstatic we were! Or, I was.

We immediately did all the necessary preparations from chopping seats,

QC our goodies: poncho, cap, lanyard, vuvuzela, clappers, a bottle of coke etc.Not to forget my handy-dandy portable fan.
We got to the extent of making sure our Vuvuzelas are working fine,
Joyce (below) made sure those incoming tree branches would mind their business and stop poking their 'noses' into the bus.

And this is how it looks like from inside the Cola Bus.
From Kay Siang Rd, to Holland Rd, Napier Rd, Tanglin Rd, Orchard, City Hall, Suntec, Esplanade, Fullerton Hotel, Merlion Park etc. We kept waving non-stop at onlookers,strangers or not, and they undoubtfully waved back at us. As we cheered on, the torchbearers got down from the bus in front of us to take their places for the incoming torch relay.

Seeing the cola bus meant that a few hundred meters behind, torchbearers were running, passing the YOG flame from one hand to the other. We were extremely welcomed. In fact, the anticipating crowd were escalated to see us coming!

I blurted out to Tiffany that I would like to help give out goodies to the public. Moments later, I was jumping out from the moving bus and giving them out! YOu think it's easy, wait until you try it on your own. I almost lost my balance a few times as i was alighting and boarding the moving bus. But all thanks to teamwork, I succeeded my mission: to give out all the coca paper fans and vuvuzelas.

Here's how you do it:

In the bus, someone appoints 5-7 volunteers to 'jump off' the bus equip with goodies. On 'go', we jump out in an orderly manner and we are not supposed to stop running. We had to keep ahead of our bus, way ahead. When there is a junction, we must stop. If the bus is too far away, we had to run back to it. If the long blowing of a vuvuzela sounds, it's the call for us to run back, regardless of.

There will be a 'sheepdog' guarding us(the sheep). He will run always be at the last, shouting for us to keep in, picking our dropped goodies for us, as well as to make sure no one gets left behind.

I got pulled into the crowd once. Someone wants the vuvuzela and wouldn't let go of me. He was tugging at my sleeve, demanding for the item. I let go of the rest of my vuvuzelas and ran back to the bus without turning back.

Here's those who had liven up my day on the bus:

And there's the NYP student volunteers on board the bus: Yihui, Tjoandi, Josephine and Izzac.

Thank you Coca Cola! And most of all, HP-my CCB
