Baskin Robbins Finale at Publika

Got off the train from Ipoh and up on the bus in time before it left for 1Utama. Yuki picked me up from there but I was late due to unforseen JAM! Well, what's new KL?

Was supposed to arrive before 8pm but we got there a little later, at 8.10pm. At least we got a parking right away. Otherwise, we would have been even later! Lined up at the registration counter and got our T-Shirts! We had pink t-shirts in support to Huai Bin's Cookies and Cream campaigne! We got changed and camwhored in the washroom before heading back to the Square for the event.

Here's a picture of the event! People mountain people sea! Why? Because there were FREE FLOW ICE CREAM by Baskin Robbins ALL NIGHT!!!

Here are the contestants of the flavor election campaigne help by Baskin Robbins!

Here's Yuki and I. :)

Cookies and Cream, Making people happy!!!

Here's a random other blogger queuing up in front of us which had "All you need is MORE ice cream!" written on his shirt.

The Emcee of the night, I believe is Liang, turns out to be a musician. He is quite a good singer and pianist.

As Yuki and I queued up for our free flow ice cream for dinner, Huai Bin approached me, asking me how fast I could gulp down ice cream. I never did know how to reply him as I have never eaten Ice cream in a fast pace before. He asked me to join him for the ice cream eating competition and I accepted that challenge as he had given me free ice cream and ice cream cake previously. How can I turn down help that is needed? HAHA!!! Diet for 1 month, DEAD! LOL!!! Here's us on stage!!!

The challenge is for the 5 teams of 3. We were supposed to eat as much as we could in 2 minutes. I wan't paying attention to the rules so I thought we were supposed to eat as fast as we could and the winner would be the one who finished first. Here's a video...

In the end, we FINISHED everything in about 1 and a half minutes and everyone cheered!!! Then did I know we were just supposed to eat as much as possible in 2 minutes instead of just finishing it. Huai Bin said the sponsors were even thinking about refilling our cups of ice cream!!! WOW!!! Thinking back, it was them that did all that fast work. They just gulped the whole scoop into their mouths! I tried but apparently my mouth wasn't wide enough... Here's our victory pictures!!!

After all that work, we won 31 Baskin Robbins vouchers! We divided them and got 10 each. Huai Bin got 11 as a leader.

Here's a bloated tummy picture of mine after. HAHA!!! That's what ice cream does to you!!!

Yuki and BR man

There were a few more eating contests after ours and Yuki was crazy enough to ask me to enter again. My tummy was already bloated and feeling funny after all that swallowing of ice creams. I didn't even think of eating another scoop of ice cream from the free flow eventuntil more than half an hour later! Unlike Serge, my other team mate who took a cup right after, and another after an hour or so!!!

In the end of the event, the results were out! Guess who won??? IT was Proudduck with her Pralines and Cream. Therefore, Malaysia is going to enjoy Free Upsize with purchase of Double Junior Scoop ice cream on weekdays from 10am - 3pm for a whole year starting Monday!!!!!!

Here's a picture of me at Huai Bin's booth!!!

Here's some camwhore pictures of us!!!

Yuki left for home at about 10pm. Prakash joined me for drinks at a Mamak nearby and they had shisha there too~! Didn't know there was such a fancy mamak place in Publika!

CheeChingy was there too. Prakash just had to take a picture with her... HAHA!!!
   

Overall, this event today was an eye-opener. I never did know I could gulp so much ice creams in one go!!! Now that's an achievement in my 20s life!!! HAHAHAA... 

My Winter Lover experience

I have previously bought some Groupon coupons which were on sale and it was something to do with crepe cakes!!! Do you have any idea what crepe cakes are? I too never heard of it until last yea on my trip to Melaka! Everyone told me to try the Nadeje crepe cake and believe me, it was just like heaven! Now, I found a new shop in KL, which happens to be behind my shop in Kota Damansara! I bought my coupon for only RM9.90 and it was inclusive of a crepe cake and a drink!

The crepe cake offered at Winter Lover is not as good as Nadeje, perhaps because it's new but it is not that bad neither. The place is quite comfortable too. Take a look at some of the pictures I took!

 

Overall, I guess I would give this place 6/10. Do visit this shop!

My trip down from Genting...

Woke up at 11am this morning just because I had to check out. If only I could check out after 3pm without any extra charges. I had trouble sleeping last night, waking up every two hours or so. Perhaps coffee really is kicking into my mind finally. I never really had a problem with coffee keeping me up but I guess age has gotten a toll on me?

Took a long hot shower and packed up before dragging my heavy ass luggage down to the lobby. I had a choice to either drag the luggage with me everywhere I went (since I planned not to head to the Casino today anyway) or leave it at the luggage area in the lobby. Since I had quite a lot of valuables in my bag, I decided not to risk it and just took it along to window shop around First World...

Saw a Nike outlet store and true enough the things in there were quite cheap! However, as tempted as I was to buy a pair of shoes and 2 tees, I reminded myself that I had to save up for my trip to Singapore in December. I have already overspent through the month of November and who knows? I might just need to budget in my Singapore trip. :(

It felt like forever for the time to pass. I walked in and out of First World, feeling tired. Then, I came up with the idea that there would be a lot to see at the Skyway to the other side! Which was what I remembered... I walked to the Skyway and it was CLOSED for MAINTENANCE! I paid for Skyway and the only way down to the bus was via the free bis services. I don't get why I needed to pay for the Skyway in the first place then!

Walked to the bus terminal at First World and took a bus down. Guess what? There was nothing there! The floors above were all closed! I was stuck there since 3pm. I walked up and down again and even the policeman asked me :"Ah Moi, pergi mana? Jalan sini sana masuk keluar aje?" I smiled and told him I was just too bored and was there too early...

I hopped on the bus at 4pm, which was 2 hours before my actual bus since it wasn't full and the person who took my ticket allowed me to. Therefore, I arrived back to KL early at 5pm.

There is one thing I need to complain about. That's the bus driver! He seemed to be in a rush when I got on the bus. I nearly tripped on my jacket and fell. He drove a little then stopped since there were still people rushing up to the bus. What's his problem? He just got to the station and rushed us all into the bus and not wait til all of us got seated! The two old folks behind me nearly fell too as they were still walking on the aisle! How long would it take to wait for them to be seated? It was him that was late. So why are we paying the price for having to rush up the bus?

As I got back to 1Utama, I dragged my luggage and walked home. I was so exhausted as I got home that I KO'ed right after I hit the bed and got up only at about 8 something! I was so tired I even skipped dinner without realizing...

It was a very interesting single trip up to Genting for a concert. I will definitely do it again if I get to watch JJ Lin or Missy Elliott perhaps? HEHE^^
