Going Downtown...

Wow!! 5 days not blogging! feels weird man. haha... well it was a great long weekend for me! For one, i met up with Grace, clara, Zheng, chao and malik for some supper on national day! man did we laugh the night through! and grace was sweet as usual, making me a personalized card. Hugs babe!

On friday i met up with sherms to accompany her for her haircut.. before that, we had delicious ramen at cuppage!! yummy!!













Then On saturday I did some shopping with sherms! i must say that it was quite fun! We were walking around borders most of the time... the thing about borders that i dislike is their disorganised shelving of books! Some of the the books are not arranged by author's name, nor book title! So it was very difficult looking for what I wanted at times.












but anyways while sherms and i were walking around town... we saw a few interesting things... Before i met up with sherms, i was passing by the atrium at PS and saw this international Muay Thai championship going on... i was rather intrigued by it as I haven't seen a live boxing or kickboxing match before. I was also awed by how hard the 2 fighters were kicking each other... as in, you could literally hear a loud thud when the foot hits the body! OUCH!

Then when sherms and i met up, we saw these 3 ppl dressed up as gladiators at orchard MRT! WOOoooh talk about kinky, baby! hahaha in my overflowing curiosity, I approached them to ask if there was a cosfest somewhere... they said no, and that they were just mascots for Clinique cosmetics... I'm like, WHAT??? It still baffles me till now as i try to draw a link from cosmetics to gladiators... the best i could think of was "Fight away UV rays!" or "Clinique Cosmetics: the heroes of your skin!"...

Haha the picture begets the caption "Better be armed and ready for the great singapore sale!"


Then another interesting sight was this capoeira demonstration by locals just outside borders... There was like a circle of people clapping along, a few of them chanting while playing some traditional musical instruments... t'was quite nice to watch! In case you don't know what capoeira is all about, it's a form of brazilian dance/martial art. Go google it. hahah.
Well i must say sometimes town can be quite interesting despite me being sick of going there frequently. As long as they have more dances, fighting and kinkily dressed people, I wouldn't mind going down more often i guess. Such are the cheap thrills i get when ure living in boring singapore. hahaha.
And dear Flea is leaving today for Germany... sigh... well i just hope we'll keep in touch while she's there... Take care babe!! make sure u have loads of fun!! Hugs!

hot gladiator girls! Though i must ..agree(haha)..that the clinique was a little off.

Anyway, the ramen photo of you, Jon, is much better than the one of me.

One only wonders why.

While One wonders, Shermeen knows. hahaha
