Times of great joy and happiness during the weekend

Happy Birthday to Dennis Chew aka "Aunty Lucy"!!

I had a swell of a time during the weekend... this was what I did. :-)


Saturday (yesterday)
After knocking off from work at 1 plus, I went to Suntec Convention to attend the 2009 SGTCC (Singapore Games, Toys and Comics Convention) located at Halls 402 to 403. There was a lot of focus on GI Joe as well as Transformers, I also saw toys linked to Star Wars and Japan anime characters. Cosplay characters included a Bumblebee babe, another Ghostbuster babe, Batman (the infamous Joel Schumacher edition), The Joker from "The Dark Knight", Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn (so fat one xiah), Wolverine, Master Chief from Halo video game, Predators, Nuata from "Hellboy 2", Star Trek team, Alice in Wonderland, plenty of Stormtroopers, Imperial Officer Babe, Freddy Kreuger babe, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan & Darth Maul V2, Mario & Luigi, even Blinky the Pacman Ghost?? In the Group category, it was the Jedi-vs-Sith pair that came up tops. For Singles Category, 3rd place went to Bill the Colonel, 2nd place went to the Halo soldier, and 1st place went to ermmm... Blinky from Pacman?? WTH... the win is as controversial as the results for Campus Superstar 3, enough said. After staying on til 6 plus, me and Shan went to have dinner at the kopi tiam near Bras Basah Complex, then went to Iluma for a while, before heading back home.

Sunday (today)
After going for church service in the morning (it was Missions week), I took train to Lavender region to meet up with the other Naturals. The 26 of us boarded a coach to the secret place...


Lo and behold, the venue for the birthday party is at the SINGAPORE FLYER!!! :-O


We celebrated Nat's birthday in advance, got into a singing frenzy that went awry, cut out paper dolls and went into the Flyer with him in 2 groups (it was the very first time experience on the Flyer for many of us). At one point of time before we took turns to board the Flyer, Nat was so touched by the present given to him by the committee, he actually broke down, and some of us fans (myself included) found ourselves getting teary-eyed as well. Event started at 1 plus and ended a few minutes after 6. It was truly a great way to spend the weekend, many thanks to the Nat fc committee for making this gathering a special one.
