into the longkang D:
Been quite some time since I last bowled, bobo-ed over quite a lot of shots haha. Ain't a good bowler in the first place so *ahem* getting a few dashes here and there isn't surprising. For most of the time I was trying to spin the ball not to make it curve at the end, which competitive bowlers usually do, I was just trying to make it go straight, too bad the ball didn't quite understand this and into the longkang it goes :X It was a fun afternoon, with small competitions here and there and the seeing the different bowling poses by everyone was rather enjoyable. Even a "earthshaking" attempt managed to make a pin drop at the last minute. Talk about special tactics!
awesome session!
headed down to 85 Market for dinner later that evening. Been a really long time since I last went there, after it was renovated too, like let's say... 3+ years? Indulged ourselves with BBQ food over there, the stingray was pretty good, lots of meat, the potato leaves were good too (kinda prefer this to kangkong now) and the oyster omelette was rather unique. It wasn't the normal fried egg with oysters all around, but instead it was the "soft" kind of omelette, which was on a hotplate and served to be watery at 1st before it slowly gets cooked by the hotplate. Interesting way of serving the oyster omelette, tasted good too and with the not-so-pricey tags, this is actually quite worth the money. The 汤圆 stall was still there even after renovation. It was at the exact same spot as it was the last time I went there. Their ginger soup is one of the best, with its strong ginger smell that many places do not have. Pretty concentrated and I absolutely loved it. I do think that the Green Tea filling for the 汤圆 tasted pretty weird but the black sesame and peanut fillings are both equally awesome :D
Looking forward to the next cohesion! :)

Went down to Hong Lim park on Labour Day in the morning to have a "supposed" meetup and picnic with Secondary school mates which in the end, turned up to be a community event organised by StandUpFor.SG
As written on their leaflet that marked the end of the event:
"StandUp is a citizen initiated movement that began a little over a year ago. A group of 14 friends decided that we really wanted to do something for the Singaporean community, to remind each other that we have much to love and contribute to. Pooling together our resources and talents, we have so far organised 2 StandUps movements, addressing graciousness on our public transport and kindness to our public transport drivers. The StandUp project that you are now a part of is our largest yet and also perhaps one of our most significant."
It was a rather interesting event, and one that really creates the community feel without all the technology driven social media that everyone's so engrossed in. The event gives every participant a gamecard, which includes 5 tasks that you have to complete with a complete stranger that you meet at the event. Each task will enable you to get 1 unlock point per person, which means 2 when you complete it with a stranger, and using these points, you can unlock booths with it. For example, there was the ice cream booth that will not serve any ice cream until it's unlocked by the participants and it started off with like 100+ points that will reduce when people come forward to use their unlock points to unlock the booth. The final task then allowed people to write qualities that one think would be beneficial to Singapore onto the balloons, which will then be allowed to fly off, carrying everyone's hopes up high.
It was kinda fun meeting and talking with people you do not know and interacting with them through the completion of various tasks. Was really an eye-opener for me and an enjoyable experience for me :)
and of course, we still had our small picnic :D cya all again soon!
