Went to the Crocs shoes sale this morning (Thanks Carol, for the 'tip-off'). The sale was supposed to start at 10am. I alighted at the Expo bus stop at around 9.30am & was telling myself that I was too early. But when I arrived at the Expo Hall, a VERY long queue had already formed - starting from outside the sale hall entrance, all the way into the adjacent hall, forming a very long snake-like line. Wonder what time did those people arrive? After I joined the queue, the line continued to stretch from inside the adjacent hall to outside the other Expo halls & all the way to where the outdoor Burger King is & beyond. Scary! I didn't know Crocs shoes are THAT popular! I took a photo of us queuing inside the adjacent hall. Oh, I'm too shy to raise my camera too high up when taking the photo, that's why you only see a small part of the queue.
Anyway, when the sale was about to start, there was a countdown from 10 to 1 over the PA system, as if they were launching some kind of space craft. Haha...of course many of us were laughing away & some even clapped their hands when the count was down to 1. Funny!
When I finally got inside the sale hall, there were people everywhere! Most shoes were gone as soon as they were placed on the table, some didn't even get to touch the table as they were quickly grabbed by all those very hungry shoppers! The shoes were practically gone in 60 secs, just like Nicholas Cage's movie by the same title! Only those big sized shoes were left on the table which I guess were so big that no one could wear them.
Sigh, all the queuing for nothing as I didn't see what I wanted. But I can't leave without buying anything, that's not me! So I bought a pair of clogs for S$35 & a pair of 'Alice' shoes (only realised this is the shoes' name when I saw the receipt) for S$25. The guy at the counter gave me some free charms for the shoes (I just need to complete a very short & easy survey).
On my trip home, I decided to take the MRT instead of the bus, so that I could pick up some groceries on my way back & I saw this in the MRT:

An empty area with NO SEATS!? I didn't know there's this empty area with no seats in MRTs! I thought only buses are like that. My, I feel like a 'mountain tortoise'. It must have been ages since I've travelled in the MRT. Haha... =D
Oh, by the way, this will be my first & also the last time I'm going to a Crocs Sale. I'd rather queue at the books sale instead.
What interesting neighbours I've got!

Hmm, since there's noone to seek help from, I tried deleting some stuff away. It seemed to work initially but when I tried accessing the blog later in the afternoon, the same problems popped up again. Sigh...What's happening here? Anyone knows?

These are my teddies. Sewed the body using gingham fabric and felt for the head & paws. 
Ever since the number was activated, I had received countless "wrong number calls"! Just last week alone, there were at least 6 calls from people I don't know (& they were looking for a different person each time!). Yesterday, there's this uncle who started chatting away in Hokkien, "Eh, you just came home only, meh?....", without even saying "Hello" or ascertaining whether I am the person he's looking for! I had no choice but to cut his conversation short by telling him, "Sorry, you've got the wrong number!".
Two Fridays ago, I accidentally came across this anime TV series, Monster, when I was channel-hopping. This is a 74-episode (!) anime series shown on Okto Channel every Friday at 11pm. Well, the thing is I'm not into anime (at least not until now) & will normally switch channel if I see one. However, this time what caught my eye & got me interested to watch further was this character, Inspector Lunge, who has this habit of "entering data" into his memory by making typing gestures with his hands. You see, this reminded me of the character "Morning Sir" (also a detective) played by 郭晋安 in the HK drama, "隔世追凶", who also has this same habit! I liked the detective drama 隔世追凶 (especially the first half of it) & since I'm a sucker for thrillers, naturally I also got hooked to the "Monster" anime. At the same time, it also got me wondering who's the copycat here & so I checked it up on Wikipedia - The "Monster" manga was published between 1994 and 2001 & the anime TV series was aired from April 2004 to September 2005 while 隔世追凶 was broadcasted in 2004 - so (as expected) the answer is quite clear isn't it? 
How about listening to a song today? Thought I should perhaps share with you some of the songs that I like. However, the songs that I will gradually feature in my blog are not necessarily new but are songs that I liked in the past & perhaps still do to this day. So, first up, a catchy Korean tune - 사랑스러워 (Sarang Surowo / Lovely) by 김종국 (Kim Jong Kook). Hope you'll like it.
