went to the ben & jerry's chunk festival with wei last evening. i knew of the event from facebook quite awhile back, but i was not really interested in the event. felt that it was more of a youngster kind of thing. anyhow, wei wanted to check out the event and asked me to accompanied him. and so we went. the event was held in fort canning. it was apparent that the wet weather did not dampen the mood of the young crowds. people were still trickering into the compound every single minute though the ground was wet and muddy. there was only a single store selling ice-cream. it was a bad idea. i was turn off by the length of the queue. yup. both of us decided not to buy any ice-cream. the only consolation i had at the event was the band performance, liked the song selections. 

we had our dinner at raffles city shopping centre and did some window shopping at robinson's. after that we went to a hotel lobby and sat there for at least one and a half hours. it was a nice cosy place to relax. we end off the day by going to thomson prata house to have our supper. the thomson pratas are more crispier than those selling elsewhere. i am addicted to pratas. i am having it for breakfast very often nowadays.

this is a long weekend! how wonderful! another day of rest tomorrow. can't take any leave this month. can't go any place for a holiday too. stucked in singapore. which could be a good thing. saving up for a trip to a faraway destination. i must try to meet up with some friends soon. or at least check how out they are doing at the minimal. 

it is so tough to manage people expectations at work, when being too honest with outsiders is not the best option. still i don't understand, what is this world coming to? when being smart means to subtlely deceive? do i have to second guess all the time.

my sister mmsed me a picture of my baby niece last evening. she can open her eyes now. so cute.

Hey Benson!

Hi Mike,

Haha. It doesn't make sense to have 1 store for hundreds of people.
