A "Day" at the museum

Super love this set of colleague! We practically hang out, shop, eat together almost every day.

Picture taken with my colleague semi-pro camera. LOVE the vibrant colours!!Photobucket

Moi so tempted to get those big chunky SLR camera. I seriously can't decide between the Canon 500D or the Nikon D80. Kinda leaning towards the Canon 500D cos my friend, Desmond says it's much much lighter compared to Nikon and the photos are much better. But Tom prefers Nikon D80 as both his brother and mum are using that model and they love it so much.
Decisions Decisions. I hate to make decisions Bleah

The two boys (notice i mention boys? cos they are both so young) trying to act cute

Went down to the Japanese restaurant (their sashimi bento lunch sets are superb) for lunch only to find out that it's close for business.
Reason: A fire broke out in the premises.
Had to settle for some Chinese food nearby which was just okay.

Took a NYC cab down to the America Museum of Natural History.
The boys were trying to whistle for a NYC cab (guess they watched too much American TV) but to no avail. In the end we used the traditional method of getting a cab: Flag your hand and Tata! an empty cab within seconds.

Looks familiar?


Photobucket

Yesh! It's the same museum as the movie "Night at the museum"

Photobucket

One of the reason why we went to the museum is to take a picture with "Dum Dum". He's this huge stone in the first movie who says "my Dum Dum wants to speak" and loves pink bubblegum. Can't remember what it's called but the name Dum Dum kinda stuck.

Costs moi US$30 for the entrance fee whilst the rest of them use their EXPIRED STUDENT CARD to get a discount. So they paid like US$23. DUHHHH~

NYC tap water. Tried and tested. The boy said it tasted really different while the rest of us were like "it's tasted like normal water lor"

30 IS THE NEW SEXY!!!

Geez, can't believe i'm turning 30 in 3 days time @@

It kinda feels like a great mile stone, an accomplishment of some sort.
Super makes moi feel like commemorating this special moment, like buying my first Chanel bag (kidding TOM!!)

And as people around me ALWAYS say "Before you know it, you'll hit 40s, 50s, with just a blink of an eye."

Scary huh.

I know

Anyway, met up with a couple of my really good friends for dinner down at Planet Hollywood, Singapore. The suprising thing is: It's a "FIRST" for all of us.
Very koo koo right?

It's my second time to a Planet Hollywood restaurant. The first time was in Planet Hollywood Copenhagen where Tom treated moi to a YESH birthday treat as well for my last year birthday. Such a coincidence.

Robert was rolling his eyes when we asked him to help us take a picture outside Planet Hollywood. "You do know you are not tourists"

We know and we don't care. Hmph.

Order a Caesar salad and some combo thingy (super love the onion rings!!) for starters.

Kent ordered this famous planet Hollywood beef and chicken fajitas which looks super good but kinda troublesome to eat.
It's similar to making your own popian. So if you love to hands on with your food, Feel free to give it a try.

Photobucket

Desmond, who's super into photography right now (he even attended photography classes!!) told us to pose with our body slightly twisted, face angled slightly, hands on the hips to appear slimmer in photo.
Like it really makes a difference. LOL

Me + Lily, my Bestie BFF :)

Moi with a Polaroid photo taken by the Planet Hollywood staff after the gang sang moi a Happy birthday song. Complimentary from Planet Hollywood. (can see moi's tearing slightly too)
Photobucket

Moi realized that people loves to go to Planet Hollywood to celebrate their birthdays. Must be the free ice-cream & the Polaroid photo huh. We sang like 5 times!! happy birthday songs for the birthday boys, gals, man & woman.

On a separate note, our first time visit to Planet Hollywood Singapore was not as pleasant as we expected. The service of the staff were okay i guess and i don't even mind singing the happy birthday.

The thing that totally irked us was the special DBS credit card promotion of 1 for 1 entree. It is SO SO SO misleading. Initially, we thought that for every entree we order, we'll get another free. Since there's 7 of us, we could get 3 entree FREE right. WRONG.

Upon checking with the staff there, it's not the case. The free entree is per table. So we only get one free entree no matter how many entrees we ordered. The staff kept emphasizing that "Ohhh, you have to read the terms and conditions properly"

We were like "HELLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!" what's the point of advertising 1 for 1 entree when it's not effectively the case? (btw, there's this huge 1 for 1 banner outside the restaurant as well). Then we asked the service staff if it's possible to split the bills since so many of us has a DBS card. Again, they said "No, they can't do that".
I guess at this point, you must be thinking we're very cheapskate. But the thing is: What they are doing is misleading advertising. Saying something like "one for one" when it's not the case at all?

Can tell im super irritated right? Grrrrr... But it's still a happy day that would remain in my memories :)
