(2 ) 22:02 I just bought a W800i! Okay, it's not a new phone per se, because it's an old model, but who cares, because I like it better than the newer W810i. I had to pay a higher price for it because they've stopped production of the W800i already *grumblegrumble*. Although it's a so-called older model, it's a better one. I've compared the specifications on the Sony Ericsson site and the only significant differences between the W800i and the W810i are that the former is 1mm thicker but has up to 1h more talktime and up to 50h longer standby time. Yes, 50h more. Eat that, W810i! (Of course I'm just comforting myself because I bought a more expensive older model. Bleh.)
The uncle selling the phone kept on talking to me and asked me if I did my A levels this year and how I found the paper and all that. Apparently his son also took the A levels this year and he wanted to see if his son's opinions corroborated with other people's. I thought that was amusing.
Anyway, went to the library today and borrowed this:
Look, I'm being intellectual!
Took quite a lot of pictures today. Well, considering that I usually don't take any pictures at all. There certainly are many advantages of having a camera phone because it's something you bring everywhere you go and is more discreet than a digital camera. Of course, the quality doesn't compare, but when you want functional pictures, camera phones are the way to go.
Met Dawn at Harbourfront MRT and walked around Vivocity waiting for Weiqi and her brother. We saw this sign:
Which reads, "WE ARE CLOSE FROM 3PM - 6PM". Bad Eglinsh. =.=;
We also drooled over the lovely chocolates on display at The Cocoa Trees. I got scolded for taking this photograph though, LOL. No photographs allowed. But hey, it's free advertising okay.
When Weiqi and her brother came, Dawn and I decided to get a cup of smoothies from Boost:
And they're really really VERY good. Dawn says they have it in Australia but it's more expensive, because the price is the same, except in Aussie dollars.
Went to Toys R Us! Second childhood and all that. XD Took some more pictures because I felt like it, LOL.
This is that Toys R Us giraffe that you see in their ads. Is it me or does he look deformed and pregnant?
Weiqi going, "Don't shoot me!"
Thomas the Tank Engine! It was one of my favourite cartoons back then. :D
Ehh. First was Barbie dolls. Now it's Dae Jang Geum (大长今) dolls?
Animal Alley! Look at the cute Elmo and Cookie Monster on the sign. ^^
Sunny day, keepin' the clouds away! On my way, to where the air is sweet! Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
Aww, isn't the pony cute? I want one too.
Girl seamonkeys?
Can't find a taxi? Get a model of one! Pity it can't take you home though.
Playdoh is salty. *nods*
Beware Excalibur!
Bring an R2-D2 home today!
Roboraptor looks cool. I want one too!
Carl's Jr. for dinner! This was a "before" picture. We forgot to take the "after". Oops. Must've been too hungry. XD However we were all quite full after that. We planned to go to Ben and Jerry's for dessert, but we just couldn't get anything else down. Except maybe Weiqi's brother (who has a name which I should call him by, instead of typing "Weiqi's brother" every single time). One thing we agreed on was that the burgers weren't as big as we thought they would be, and we didn't need to share them. Hehe.
Walked around Vivocity after dinner. Ooo, this shop has a profusion of bears! Even the mannequins have bear heads. That was scary. But if you look closely they have smaller, cuter bears hangin' around.
Went to the rooftop of Vivocity. I wanted to go into the pool, but no one else wanted to go in with me. Bleh. >.<
Christmas baubles! Prettttty. :D
A black snowflake ornament.
Orange angels.
I love ferris wheels. In Chinese they are called 摩天轮. A wheel that touches the heavens.
Me! Mugging for a shot. (subtle!pun)
Three of us! Weiqi's brother always ends up the cameraman in group shots. Heehee.
Look who I saw on the MRT on the way home! LOL... Talking about famous people, we saw Cheeyang and Adriano at Vivocity! They overtook us while walking and at first I had no idea (being the blur queen I am) until Dawn or Weiqi started pointing them out to me, after which I got into a tizzy with my camera. But I couldn't catch up enough to get a good shot and both Dawn and Weiqi weren't being cooperative, so I have no photographic evidence of my brush with fame. Haha.
Look, Boon Lay is burning. Not. The photo isn't very clear because my camera doesn't really like the night, but the fire is from one of the industrial chimneys. It came with a huge white cloud of smoke too. Ugh. The sight did look quite spectacular though. The tower of flame must have been at least 5m high, licking the burnished clouds orange in the night.

Have been going out every single day, and will probably be for the rest of the week too, LOL. Anyway, this has been a very long post, as well as picture-intensive. I'm looking forward to this Thursday, when 5TORM minus Yingwan will be meeting for dinner again. There might be more pictures, depending on whether we do anything exciting enough that merits any. Haha.
I am still very excited over my new phone. XD
Some photographs are taken by Dawn. Yay!
