Our Toy Story - " a tribute to my beloved dearie..."

Everyday seemed to be so packed with activities and I haven't had the time nor energy to blog for more than a week... Anyway, June had been a time of celebration - a happy belated birthday to my good friend wanqiu and Lifeng's 2-year-old daughter, and also Happy Birthday to dearie's daddy, thanks for the lovely buffet dinner at Joaquin's Suntec. 

I really enjoyed myself at the dinner despite dearie being a bit sulky (since he was angry at me at first), but our moods got better after dinner and we went plushie-catching. Plushie-catching is really addictive; and seriously ~ i am so addicted to it!! I could still remember those days when dearie and I were still friends, and he caught the very first walking plushie - a cute baby minnie mouse which walked when you push the button with batteries inserted in it...

I could still remember this first plushie was caught while waiting for our movie at The Grand Cathay; and in those days, I seriously felt that catching plushies was just nonsense and a waste of $$. The second and third plushie was caught there after, when I met dearie at east coast for a chat cos I was feeling quite down and he suggested to go plushie-catching to cheer me up...

This two strawberries themed Hello Kitties were his fruits of success of cheering me up then, 

since he knew how much I loved hello kitties, and eventually he spent almost forty bucks 

(while I forked out twenty) for him.

The next plushies were caught right after a post-christmas barbecue party at a friend's fish-farm, 

while waiting for Avatar movie to show in Cineleisure...

And I received a SuperMario's Lugia for Christmas present...

Our love story started some time after that and everytime we went out, occassionally dearie will bring me plushie-catching, and that was how my passion for plushie-catching built up... 

We usually went different places, 

and it seemed that everytime dearie went plushie-catching, 

he was definitely to catch something for a little reward...

He caught a second walking plushie Stitch at Cineleisure, 

a panda hello kitty at Plaza Singapura and a lovable Chopper (from One Piece) at Marina Square... 

Most of the time, the plushies were caught during weekdays night or weekends when we met up for dinner.

There was once after dinner at Suntec (whereby we went plushie-catching at the arcade), dearie caught this kimono-wearing kitty and that was the day my passion started. 

This was the kitty we saw quite a few times in other arcades but we couldn't catch it in any way. There was this guy behind us trying out the "slot" kind of plushie machine... 

and the very next time when we went Suntec, I tried out my very first plushie-catching!!

That was my very first time trying out plushie-catching. 

I caught a pink-checkered Hello Kitty

while dearie caught a strawberry-looking Mickey.

I caught a blue Hello Kitty and Minnie Mouse the second time I tried out plushie-catching; 

and that was when I started to get the hang of it. Dearie caught a chipmunk on the same day and afterwards, we simply hang around arcades whenever we got extra money to go plushie-catching...

Other random catches dearie made were a Mickey with Donald earmuffs, a leopard-suit Hello Kitty, a Princess Hello Kitty and a pair of mini-sized walking Mickey and Minnie...

My plushie-catching fever continued and another three plushies were added to our plushie collection when I caught another 2 plushies 

- a pink bear-like hello kitty and a Minnie Mouse while waiting for dearie to finish work...

The third plushie was caught after I met dearie for dinner and we headed back to the arcade and

I realised they re-filled the machine with another Kitty so I decided to try my luck...

The most recent trip we made to plushie-catch was earlier after dinner just now at Suntec whereby dearie was really lucky and he caught the cute cinnamon roll plushie with just a dollar!! 

On the other hand, I had no luck and I spent 11 bucks to catch the Hello Kitty. 

Sadly, I could not catch the other Kitty and I gave up 

while changed my attention in catching the Mickey Mouse...

Honestly, I do not know when our plushie-catching fever will last as dearie did mention that he will cut down in catching plushies since he is currently saving up... 

Nevertheless this will be the sweetest memories I have with him..

New Year Day and Weekend.. (Part II)

I woke up quite early on New Year's Day... well its New Year so I assume it is worthwhile waking up all early?!
Both New Year Day and the weekend ahead was all MOVIES!!! Jason wanted to go shopping @orchard central so we both went out around in the evening. We caught dinner's @Thank God It's Friday, but yup, I haven't got the pictures from him which I am able to post currently, but never mind, I will try to upload them later...

Friday's

We caught both movies at Cineleisure Orchard. =) After dinner @HMV's "Thank God It's Friday" we headed over to Cineleisure and grabbed tickets for The Vampire's Assistant. This movie have no ending, and it is definitely to have an up-coming sequel. A simple storyline, much of the "freaks" are actually kind of CUTE and several funny parts really makes you laugh..

Well, as expected from all other accounts, a little something...

to be added on into my collection...

 **********************************************

We actually had very little time shopping therefore we plan to meet up  once more, on saturday

Saturday's

Today was abit gloomy as Jason did not drive, so I had to spend my whole journey on the MRT without seats clinging limply to my extremely HIGH-HEEEEEEELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Yup, go orchard must wear nice nice ma.. *Hiao*... xD We met @City Hall because I wanted to go over to fr3b to grab some samples... Both of us are famished after grabbing the samples, and due to my long-time face painting duration taken @home, we decided to grab something for a bite despite our plans for my beloved Sakae Teppanyaki..

Happened to pass by a very special store, what we had to do was --> to pop in for a munch since the menu outside was really irrestible... Our new hangout:

Japanese Curry Rice!!!

Japanese Kitchen is little unique stall is located at the little shops alongside Stamford House entrance. It might be a little small and crammy, but the food is just TOO GOOD than usual... *slrrrppp* Jason and I both ordered curry rice (mine was beef and his was pork) and while waiting for the food to arrive...

Here comes our miso soup and salad...

**

The shop is quite speedy in handling your orders and the main course arrived shortly after 10 minutes...

Japanese Pork Curry Rice (for jason)

Japanese Beef Steak Curry for ME!!!

Eventually we ordered a side order besides our rice...

Irresistibly Fried Button Mushrooms!!!

SHOCKING BUT A FACT ---> The fried button mushrooms are so GIGANTICALLY HUMONGOUS that they looked like BIG shitake mushrooms... Mushroom lovers will definitely go GAGA over this...

An Irish Cream Soda

+

Lychee Jazz

= KAMPAI!! and FEAST!!

Let's grab a preview of POOR jason while I was grabbing pictures of the food...

Poor Him - Sleepy and Famished...

Anyway, all efforts was worthwhile, well @ the least which I thought...........

We were offered a SHOT which we pegged in the restaurant... =D

*********************

Took Bus77 to our next destination ---> ORCHARD and we shopped @313, the huge shopping mall with boring outlets (beside Orchard Central). Very troublesome-styled escalators, the mall is like any other ordinary mall layout except its oversize capacity.

We got bored just by roaming from the extreme top floor to the bottom, bought my DVDs from HMV and headed towards TAKA for an ice-cream and another roam before Cineleisure for our next movie escapade...

This time round, THE MOVIE WAS SIMPLY AWESOME!!!

---A MUST-WATCH for all ---

I am confirmed that their album track HOT N COLD must have sold MUCH MUCH BETTER than Kathy Perry's.... indescribable movie as its you must experience it yourself !!

**********************************************

We make our way for home after the movie and this time round, sadly, no toy-toy for me. =(

Toy Catcher

I am bloody SICK !!... I have been HIBERNATING in my cosy bed for more than 12 hours per day sleeping... =.=ll Never in my entire life have I been so sick before as can u imagine a humane piggy eat medicine and sleeping throughout? Neither am I looking forward to countdown this coming weekend, I really do not mind tucking up in my bed and rest throughout.

Watched the news earlier on and saw the FAB about Toy-Catching!! Well, I was abit obsessed into it as I was introduced previously a couple of months back from Jason.. Anyway, I SUCKED at toy-catching and NEVER have I succeeded, hmmm.. well I only caught a few toys a couple of times ago..
