It's official. I want a King Kong too for a boyfriend, he's all fur and stuff but he's always there for you, protecting Ann Darrow from harm's way. What more can you ask for?

LOL. Just got back from Golden Village, watched King Kong with my mum and sis. Before that, my sis and I went to Novena's Toys 'R' Us for yoyos then we headed down to Suntec, I've been there a gazallion times, it's kinda sick. LOL. We went there to survey the environment first, we were trying to get to Millenia Walk. I asked the MRT operator and he told us to walk straight through CityLink Mall. Yeah, "walk straight", that was helpful. So we walked on and went out to Marina Square, and walked past this magic pegasus thingy, it was like a kids' show. LOL. And there were so many parents in the queue! Idolism among kids with parents involved? It IS disturbing!

We eventually got to Millenia Walk after asking the Customer Service desk. LOL. It was really really really quiet there. Not many people shop there apparently, the shops are pretty much high-end stuff and boutiques like Raoul. After we knew how to get there, we took this free shuttle service back to City Hall MRT station and we walked through Citylink mall AGAIN, going towards Suntec this time. We were esctatic when we saw Toys 'R' Us, I got a Throw Monkey( again) and a proyo for daily training purposes, my sis got the same too, but her TM's white and green in color. Well, a Throw Monkey and a proyo costs $29.90 altogether. Talk about investments.

We walked around a lil and headed down to Millenia Walk for lunch. There's this Japanese eatery that I strongly recommend! You gotta walk all the way down Millenia Walk Mall cuz it's tucked away in a corner, it's near Candy Empire by the way...Candy Empire sells all kinda sweet treats you can think of. They sell pretty good stuff for Christmas too! Well, this Jap eatery by the way is called Bentos! We had the Chicken Katsu Curry set, it costs $8, pretty steep for our budget since we've pretty much burnt a hole in our pockets getting yoyos. So, both of us shared. Actually our main motive was to get a place to rest our feet, since we've prolly walked for miles getting to Millenia Walk all the way from Suntec. But the food at Bentos was totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! Oiishi! LOL. The Chicken katsu was coated with bread crumbs and deep-fried, but it wasn't greasy at ALL. The outer layer was golden brown and crispy, the inside was a soft pink in color, the meat was tender and smooth. The curry was to die for, it's like eating an Old Chang Kee curry puff, only this time it's in liquid form. Mama Mia! I highly recommend bentos!

Food : *****
Ambience : ****
Service : NA ( self-service)

After we filled our tummies and rested our feet. We went to the atrium near Fuzion cafe to see if there were any yoyo players. Well, Red ( the President of the Brazilian Yoyo Association , Rafael Matsunaga) was scheduled to reach there around 3-5pm. It was around 3pm, and nobody was at the Sculpted Garden. So we reckon we should walk the whole stretch of Millenia Walk Mall and back to the atrium. So, we did. And guess who I spotted!?! I saw Aik Hwee and some other Singapore yoyo player! Aik Hwee btw only 13yrs old, and he's the Singapore champion! God. was flabbergasted and pretty much hysterical! So we zoomed back to the Fuzion Cafe, and there they were, busy practising their offstring, freehand and whatever tricks. We just didn't have the guts to approach any of them cuz they were pros at work, so we sat on a bench outside and watch them do their thing. Aargh! I actually got a notebook and marker to get Red's autograph! He's there, teaching them some stuff! But I just didn't have the guts to get his autograph cuz nobody was doing it, since all of them pretty much knew each other already. The yoyo community was a pretty small and close-knit group. So, we decided to just watch and leave em to their yoyos. But once we get the basics right we're gonna ask them fer help. LOL.

We left at around 4.15pm. We waited for the shuttle bus, and guess who we saw alighting from the bus? The Duncan Crew from Malaysia! Most of them were present! God! I was star struck! They were wearing their Duncan tees and everything. LOL. I will be coming down to Millenia Walk next week with me sis and cousin to ask them for some help. LOL. Guess it'll be a weekly thing. So, hopefully if I get a job it'll be around millenia Walk or there's half days on Satuurdays. LOL.

I LOVE YOYO-ING! Will save my notebook for next year's AP or SYYC! LOL. There'll be more people there and definitely people who're asking for autographs. LOL.
