KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM.
spent like 20m or smthing on item maker enhancing crystals etc
1st thing i made was reverse shoe. adv aquamarine, amethyst n power. stats come out average.
2nd, made a reverse 1h. adv power, diamond, black crystal. 114wa and 5str
threw in 30%s since there's no point ending up with a 12X sword, that'll be the same as my current one. 1st slot passed... 2nd slot KABOOM
since i xfer over my 1h sword attack scrolls, decided to scroll my flairgrave too. cos its really useless n just sitting in my inv for nth right now... end up... same fate... 1st slow passed. 2nd slot KABOOM
made another reverse 1h. this time with int power since i ran out of adv power liao. 110wa (note all bo use stim), 3 str... -.-''' 1st slot failed. 2nd slot KABOOM.
3 KABOOMs in a day...
total 5 reverse 1h made, only 1 survived --> DUH will survive, i only used 60%s.
2 reverse shoe made, 1 boomed, 1 clean and unpotentialed.
total 255 POTs used... wonder when i'll get my 14X sword... -.-'''
that's all for today...

Unleash Your Hidden Potential!
yes, the potential system is out... and i boomed my reverse shoe with a potential scroll... the only item i boomed to far tho thankfully. major mesos and cash burner. cubed a bit on my sword, nut only ended up with 6% str and 3% str. two lines only. i've banned myself from further cubing till... maybe next year? after CNY? idk. no more buying acash... i did get some permanent CS eq tho... a glasses to cover my ugly owl mask, the mp3 earrings, and a wing effect...
so i managed to get random eq like a top with 3% str n dex, lvl 60 bot with 2% str, lvl 40 shoe with 2% str... all mob drops with hidden potential... now i can finally hit 40+k even with my spd eq...! can see 45k or so w/o crit at scar b3... finally broke the 40k barrier for me lol... now i'm just a whee bit short of 1 dish 1 rush kill skeles... and a little bit from there to 1hko skeles... sigh. miracle cubes is the answer but i'm not taking that.
went scar with my friends twice... 1st time i ended up almost soloing b3... by soloing i mean the one dealing damage... left with a prz who heal only (duh, wat else can a prz do right?), flame on his 12x evan... who cant help much cos his range not far enough (compared to flame wheel), than he keep tio kb... and of cos scar keep MD up... took ard 1hour to down b3... not too bad considering the last time i solo part of b3 i took 1.5hours -.-'''
was quite stressing tho, cos flame a bit prone to dying, prz also just nice can tank scar with hb (oh, they got a lvl 6x hber)... than sometimes the db and hber come all the way to look see... keep asking them to go up -.-''' i DID rush wrongly 3 times, 1st time was in b2 and scar didnt move, or it was behind me, i cant rem... but the other 2 times happened in b3. flame saw i rush wrong side also... but thankfully both the times scar was BEHIND me. cos i walk back, didnt give keyboard/game enough time to turn ard than press rush... and was messed by the crazy skull thing that keep activating when i'm walking into position for the next rush... a while nvr go scar liao, and last few times i go all have other rushers ard, and i only rush very occasionally... i tend to save time rushing by letting scar walk onto me le than rush. else rush, walk back, if scar walks out at the same time, once u walk out already need rush again - basically u are left with no time to dish (plus i wearing damage eq, spd 115 nia!) oh yeah... actually there was a NL whacking scar b3 too, but he very weird lah, stand so close and whack... he was standing right where i was standing to whack. 1st time scar walk out, he bo fj away also... scar touched me... and him... and tomb. that was within like 1min of b3 -.-''' gotta say the hb-er really nice (well all flame guild de ppl except me), stay the entire fight just to hb, and nvr loot anything. (i mean, nice as a person... if it were me i'd be erm, bored to death?) the prz also very pro. banged into scar once n didnt die... well i've seen bishps died in scar before... this person prz only with barely enough hp n mp to tank (with hb, w/o hb will die) and didnt die... and healed well enough such that i only spent like 20-30 honsters, almost all of which was when they went to take hb. well i guess my 21k hp and the pg + archilles helps too... take 5k+ damage per hit from scar only. ard 5.2k i think.
yest wanted to help flame zak, but end up when zak summoned i see a 2arm-ed creature. gg.com. dc in a few minutes after that... but still considered not bad liao. the moment zak summoned i think 3 or 4 ppl str dc lol. this patch is really cmi lah. went zak before the patch and didnt dc until this lame person decided to take an SS of my guildee's mega for reaching lvl 200. than black screen n gg.com. but that was in like b2 i think. not like yest summoned a few mins than dc. but in the end... flame died... the 12X aran died and wheeled dunnoe how many times... left cow and 15X evan solo. evan damage is really pawnzor i tell u. can main cow... went scar that night, evan was there too (bs dc-ed, law dc-ed shortly after start, flame died...). his flame wheel can hit like 130k or smthing with crit... w/o crit 80k+ or so... wearing ele wand so partly why his damage so high... but that's like... the dps probably wont lose to me if we just standing on one spot spamming the attack. not to mention the range is crazy... in zak hit arms on both sides. gotta check out on evan attack spd now, but i think no have the data... and in the latest revamp on KMST i think evan attack spd was made faster... i think i can do 1.5 to 2 dishes in 1 flame wheel cast, but that's a rough estimate from the scar battle. anyway in actual bossing evans have a harder time cos they have to keep adjusting their position n keep getting kb, whereas warriors have stance. <3 stance really. pretty much the best thing abt the warrior class. also, in zak i would tank body so that i wont get stunned (cow didnt in yest de zak), but evan stay outside and will keep get stunned, lowering dps. anyway last night de scar took total 1hour... quite fast... evan powerful haha... dropped 3 helms, evan took all since i pot scrolled and passed on my scar helm... well 2 lines only and i'd rehelm IF i had pot scrolls with me, but now i dont have any. didnt drop any eq, got a spirit claw 30 (had one from the previous day's scar too, price check anyone?), and the only useful scrolls was a staff ma and a 1h sword att. quite cute, i picked up the staff ma and the evan the sword att, than we switched scrolls lol. considering the last time when i sweeped 1h sword att the CHEAPEST i found were like 3-4m, and i only spent ard 200 honsters (1.2m), i guess the run was quite worth the effort. more importantly i was wanted to go bossing for fun lol. mesos wasnt part of my consideration want to try soloing scar and krexel. i think will take ard 2hours each? considering an almost solo scar b3 was ard 1hr... yest only spend ard 200 honsters at scar... if solo say use 600 honsters? still ok lah... anyway just want try for fun and see my noob timing. went clock yest n sg boss yest and these where my timings... clock i went with flame (he hide at the side and help me take timing, thks!) before the potential system patch, best timing out of 2 rounds was 8mins 2secs. yest best timing was 6mins 17sec... sg boss took only 20secs, 8 secs off from the pre-potential timing... evan sg boss best timing ish 2mins 5 sec, lvl 104
potential scrolled helms can give u 10% chance to show a random emoticon for 10secs when hit by mobs... this one is 10% chance to FEEL TOUCHED... i so seriously need this man...
so i managed to get random eq like a top with 3% str n dex, lvl 60 bot with 2% str, lvl 40 shoe with 2% str... all mob drops with hidden potential... now i can finally hit 40+k even with my spd eq...! can see 45k or so w/o crit at scar b3... finally broke the 40k barrier for me lol... now i'm just a whee bit short of 1 dish 1 rush kill skeles... and a little bit from there to 1hko skeles... sigh. miracle cubes is the answer but i'm not taking that.

darkiller's on facebook!
yup, i'm now on facebook. not that i wasnt on fb previously, but now i've got a facebook acct dedicated to maple. posting all my maple SSes into the photo albums and such... always wanted to find a place to post all my SSes over the years, and now i finally have a place to do so!
check it out here -> http://www.facebook.com/darkiller.tg
almost 200 photos uploaded now and A TON more to go...
today's a public holiday! whoohoo! but.... i've got two lab reports due in a while, and the info lit project due next week... ewwwww T.T
quite alot of things happened in maple since my last post... the halloween event belts and olivia chair... i went on cwkpq runs and didnt dc yay! the batch was really screwed up tho and... i left just after i joined... had a lounge outing to JCC for the anime/manga exhibit
the exhibit was really disappointing. unless u are going to pick a manga and plonk there and read, there isnt anything else to see really. quite alot of books for you to read alright, but not really something u'd do when going on an outing with friends. we had mos burger before walking to JCC, than went to ion orchard and slacked in BK... later walked to taka... nothing to do, than walked to plaza sg... went daiso... nothing to do... than go home! lol...
mousehunt had a halloween event too... collected the seeds and blueprint but still yet to make the trap - tho i want to collect but its kinda expensive and i wont ever use the traps since they are weaker than what i already have. (so purely for collection purposes only)
Here are the stats of the two traps:
Pumpkin Pummeler
Power: 1150 (Shadow)
Power Bonus: 5%
Attraction Bonus: 10%
Luck: 5
Cheese Effect: Fresh
Pumpkin Pummeler
It takes one seriously evil pumpkin seed to grow a squash so steeped in malevolence, so genuinely nasty that it will sacrifice its brothers and sisters on the vine to smash random passersby... but hey, it makes a great trap mechanism. Mice come in, expecting a festive treat, (and maybe a guy dressed up as a scarecrow jumping out of the bushes), and instead, they come face to face with a real Halloween horror, complete with monster teeth!
Recipe:
-Pumpkin Pummeler Blueprints
These blueprints are a diagram of a unique farming process that will grow an Evil Pumpkin Seed into a mouse pummeling sight to behold!
Available at the 'Haunted Terrortories' general shop at 168,000 gold.
-Evil pumpkin seed
Available as a loot drop from the 'Gourdborg mouse'
And the upgrade:
Cackle Lantern Trap
Where did all the other pumpkins go? Oh yeah, that's right... the Cackle Lantern smashed them all. But, out of the remains of his old companions springs a new friend who understands the rigors of carnivorous planthood: a sprout of the Venus Mouse Trap. Together, these two are ready to smash, swallow, and snare any mouse that dares set foot on their trap-- just don't ask them to share the proceeds once they're done. The immense heat of the lantern occasionally increases Fire Salt drops when hunting in the Jungle of Dread.

sch sch sch. and maple...
sch... is screwed up i tell you...
1stly... my time table suxs to the core. 30mins lunch break on monday? 8:30am classes everyday.... classes end at like 5:30pm almost everyday... loads of breaks in btw classes.... cos somehow they no longer offer my favorite 5:30-7 slot for my jap elective i had to pick the morning class - heck, there are only 3 to pick from, not a lot of choice really, the other two classes all starts at 4:30 which wonderfully clashes with all my 3:30-5:30 lectures. so i had to pick the lab class on wedn morning instead to accommodate my jap elective... so that makes 5 whole days of morning classes when it could have been four. (otherwise my lap would have been on thurs afternoon)
2nd and most pissing reason...
as i've just written abv.... i purposely picked the wedn lab so that i can take jap. than this week, cos wedn the lab will be cut by 1 hour due to some union day crp... the lecturer happily canceled the lab on wedn and put it on thurs! great, now it clashes with my jap. too bad, i went for jap class and cut 30++mins of lab. not like anyone apart from my group mates knew or noticed. they are super heck care really.
than the situation is gonna repeat next week...
from my post elsewhere since i dont want to retype:
at 1st i tot, ok, they want to make it fair and give everyone 3hours, tho we didnt use more than 2 hours.... than my friend whose lab is supposed to be on thurs say (they separate the groups into labs at the basement n on 2nd floor) the lecturer told them to finish up fast cos someone was gng in to use the lab at 1:30 (2 hours aft the lab session starts). than he say they shdnt use more than like 1.5hours or smthing... great? why did wedn's lab get canceled than??? and why the heck is someone coming in to use the lab when its originally our year 3 lab time slot???? this is just so screwed i dont even know wat to make of it anymore... (if the arguement was that some lab session was held during wedn's timeslot, hello... that's supposed to be our timeslot, why isit taken up by others? cos of union day? all that shd have been planned and taken into account earlier on right? lack of communication btw the uni n the schs? screwed up stuff really)
than the sch came up with new measures like installing lockers outside the lab for us to put our bags... but hte lockers are so pathetically small... -.-''' i didnt try but i most likely have to empty my bag to fit it in -.-''' my friend with a bag smaller than mine had to take out her water bottle, file, and laptop to put her bag in... THAN put them in the locker individually (still the same locker, but the big package as a whole couldnt go in) like wth lah... thankfully if my labs are on wednesdays i shdnt need to bring my lappy or anything, so i can bring a smaller bag and fit everything in... but like yest with my laptop, jacket, japanese tb and notes... other leture notes etc... i didnt even waste my time trying, just bought it str to the lab. and its quite stupid becos they already had a cupboard thing on each bench for us to put our bags... zzzzzzz
than the electives system... of having to clear blah blah blah no. of academic units(AUs) in each category. too few choices offered, too few slots for those popular classes... and worst still more than 70% of the prescribed electives clash with my timetable EVERY SEMESTER. for some categories like biz where there are few courses offered, its as good as every course clashes with my core that sort of thing... at the end of the day, i'm just picking anything that i can bloody hell fit into my timetable, regardless of whether i like it or not (so long as i wont fail...). expanding our horizons and letting us pursue interests outside of our degree? yeah right man. which leads me to the next crappy thing i have this sem...
once again, what i've posted elsewhere(last night):
no im not being biased or anything but the kind of stuff she said in the 1st lecture was like... things u might say to primary 1 or kindergarden kids. in terms of the content, the way she said it... the lame, pointless stories she tells... haiz, i would have skipped all the rest of her lects but than there's some stupid project work thing... oh wells... for the free A... and to clear my AUs to graduate... at least there's powerpoints every seat in the lt and i can do stuff on my lappy...
okays, enough for now... haiz...
end of sch stuff... now let's talk maple...
ring event: managed to get rings for aran, hero, evan, dual blade to come... made a sin, but sadly made it to like 45 or smthing only and didnt get the ring T.T
the sunburst and the ravana hat: we all know abt how the event ended early and such... in the end only my aran managed to get a helm... but its a nice BLUE helm... really surprised... all the scar helms my hero looted were understat... this one is... abv average cool!
ok, here comes the pictures... and special thks to dt100 for going ravana with me!
okays, shall prepare to go for that stupid info lit course now... shall continue posting in class later... or maybe i'll make a new post...

arghs, cant stand the sch! next week's lab = go bukit timah hill on field trip. they happily go by alphabetical order, and cos my name right at the end a whole bunch of us got assigned to thursday group instead cos wedn not enough space or smthing... i.e. repeat of this week's time table clash except this one is totally cmi cos its a field trip -.-'''
zzzzzz emailed the person n ask for a swap liao but this is dam zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(if the arguement was that some lab session was held during wedn's timeslot, hello... that's supposed to be our timeslot, why isit taken up by others? cos of union day? all that shd have been planned and taken into account earlier on right? lack of communication btw the uni n the schs? screwed up stuff really)
than the sch came up with new measures like installing lockers outside the lab for us to put our bags... but hte lockers are so pathetically small... -.-''' i didnt try but i most likely have to empty my bag to fit it in -.-''' my friend with a bag smaller than mine had to take out her water bottle, file, and laptop to put her bag in... THAN put them in the locker individually (still the same locker, but the big package as a whole couldnt go in) like wth lah... thankfully if my labs are on wednesdays i shdnt need to bring my lappy or anything, so i can bring a smaller bag and fit everything in... but like yest with my laptop, jacket, japanese tb and notes... other leture notes etc... i didnt even waste my time trying, just bought it str to the lab. and its quite stupid becos they already had a cupboard thing on each bench for us to put our bags... zzzzzzz
than the electives system... of having to clear blah blah blah no. of academic units(AUs) in each category. too few choices offered, too few slots for those popular classes... and worst still more than 70% of the prescribed electives clash with my timetable EVERY SEMESTER. for some categories like biz where there are few courses offered, its as good as every course clashes with my core that sort of thing... at the end of the day, i'm just picking anything that i can bloody hell fit into my timetable, regardless of whether i like it or not (so long as i wont fail...). expanding our horizons and letting us pursue interests outside of our degree? yeah right man. which leads me to the next crappy thing i have this sem...
once again, what i've posted elsewhere(last night):
tired... time to slp... heng tmr morning lect dunnoe why canceled. only got a stupid info lit thing in the afternoon. would have skipped that too if not for the stupid project group forming thing... haiz.
its really stupid... she was talking abt searching google... going/using databases... and i'm like... google even a 3 year old kid can do... databases - we learnt using biological databases in sec sch... and they taught us again in uni... and we just had a talk in usin ghte sch library resources... and as the admin of HS-SEA (a DB)... wat the h3ck am i doing in the class really???
i cant believe that the sch actually pays the lect to come and teach stuff like this!
no im not being biased or anything but the kind of stuff she said in the 1st lecture was like... things u might say to primary 1 or kindergarden kids. in terms of the content, the way she said it... the lame, pointless stories she tells... haiz, i would have skipped all the rest of her lects but than there's some stupid project work thing... oh wells... for the free A... and to clear my AUs to graduate... at least there's powerpoints every seat in the lt and i can do stuff on my lappy...
okays, enough for now... haiz...
end of sch stuff... now let's talk maple...
ring event: managed to get rings for aran, hero, evan, dual blade to come... made a sin, but sadly made it to like 45 or smthing only and didnt get the ring T.T
the sunburst and the ravana hat: we all know abt how the event ended early and such... in the end only my aran managed to get a helm... but its a nice BLUE helm... really surprised... all the scar helms my hero looted were understat... this one is... abv average cool!
ok, here comes the pictures... and special thks to dt100 for going ravana with me!
okays, shall prepare to go for that stupid info lit course now... shall continue posting in class later... or maybe i'll make a new post...

Back to school!
Ok, schs in again, and it sucks to have 8:30 classes everyday. Hate the morning squeeze gosh.
Back from china on sun just after midnight. Still have not uploaded the pics to my comp yet :x got alot of sorting out to do... :x like 10gb worth of photos hurrah!
Yesh, Taiwan trip pics my dad save to external hard disk le, but I've not even seen them, my comp don't have enough space for all the pics... 1 trip 10++ gb. Taiwan trip my dad bring his nikon and that's probably another 10gb :x
Got all the classes I opped for this sem, guess they give priority to year 3 n 4s I guess.
My friend whom i stayed with for the past 2+ wks will be staying over at my hse till she manages to get hostel or accommodation else where. Thks to the yog I think alot of foreign students are facing accommodation problems. Heard alot of ppl can't get hostel rooms. Heh, kinda looking forward to it, 1st time a classmate ish staying over at my hse! She ain't here yet tho, got some stuffs to settle in cn and she obviously doesn't mind skipping the start of sch :p
Ok, that's all for now!

Random pics n such
Not been writing since there was no wifi. N cos I lazy, n those days in shanghai world expo were really crazy. So I guess I'll just talk abt some random stuff, with the random very few pics I took on my phone. Didn't take a single pic on my phone at world expo sorry... Too crowded, too hot... Too much queue cutting, squeezing etc... Things might be in a completely random order so just deal with it. N as usual tilt ur head for sideways pics cos I can't figure out how to rotate em here. N I guess I'll have to split this into a million n one entries else this app will keep crashing.
Arghs, somehow the posting failed n only part of my post was posted, n only on one bog. Sheesh!
My friends hse... The other room...
Oh wow the pics are rotated the right way when I edit the post... Bravo... -.-'''
Ha yin I rem that time u kept considering but in the end didn't buy this type of fan right? :)
Sian. Don't feel like blogging now anymore... Shall cont later or tmr...
Erm ya, just pics of tea. Took it when I went to 磁器口. Erm, not sure if I posted that already.
Some traditional food from there, name as in pic. Quite plain n hard, only ate like 1 mouth cos I was super full already. Ate 鸭血汤 before that. Super nice but it's 麻辣.

1 more pic...
Left this out earlier on, n since posting to two blogs just making a new post is easier... Ate 麻辣抄手 just now, n brought this sauce
Tried the 素酸辣粉 as well as 臭豆腐. The smelly bean curd they made is weird tho, dunnoe wats with that shop, my friend says it's not like that else where too... They dipped the toufu in breadcrumbs n deep fry, making it taste more like deep fried chicken bits, barely any toufu taste.
Oh and cute watermelons they have here. It's quite small n they eat it like this.
The skin is really thin... Ok, really time to sleep now!

CQ trip day 1 n 2 cont
Think I wrote too long or smthing, the app kept crashing on me. So I'll cont from where I left off. Hmphs like 5 time retyping the bloody same thing already.
Yup so that's the expo ticket. 100 bucks each time 3 since we spending 3 days there. Tilt ur head n bare with it cos I can't change the pic orientation on my hp using this app.
Some pics of my friends rm. A little messy... Took the pics w/o her knowing while she was taking a bath... Sssshhhh! Don't tell her hor!
Her table, can see some of my stuff there too, like my trademark water bottle.
My bed! A mattress on top of two wooden planks on the floor, it's quite comfy tho
My friends bed. The mattress I'm using is taken from a bed in another room. The room faces another side of the hse n is really hot in summer so she decided to bring the mattress over instead. Really very thoughtful of her.
Thus far it's been quite good. Nothing big that I'm not accustomed with or anything. So far she hasn't brought me to try too spicy foods yet. mind the word yet.. :s. The weather is freaking hot but there's nth u can do abt it... They all knock when going into rooms tho, like when she or her mum comes into her rm, they knock b4 entering, smthing I'm still not very used to yet.
That's abt all for now, getting tired n typing on my phone takes extremely long, been at it for like 1.5 hrs already, plus the crashing n posting which took a while. Kk, signing off now tata!
Btw yin, pics of her hse as u request...living rm pics probably tmr bah...

Chongqing trip!!! - day 1 n 2
Happiness! My friends hse got wifi n together with this blogpress app I can blog n post pics I took on my iToy! Didn't take much pics thus far tho, n all he scenery pics I only took with my camera. So only have pics of the stuff I bought today!
Arrived here ard noon yesterday. My friend n her dad n her uncle who was driving were at the airport to fetch me. We went for lunch on the way back to her hse. Ate 老鸭汤 with radish. The radish is diff from the ones in sg. These ones are slightly sour n gave the soup a lovely sour tinge that made it super nice! They eat it with green chili as a sauce, but since I don't take spicy food well I didn't take much of the sauce. It isn't too terribly spicy tho. We ordered some veggies to add to the soup, sort of like hotpot style. There was thinly sliced cucumber too! Nvr knew it can go into the hot pot, I'll definitely want to try it at home - need some good cutting skills tho.
After that we rested in her home till after dinner. Dinner was cooked by her mum. Porridge or wat they call 稀饭 (we normally just say 粥 in sg) was serve with tomatoes, bitter gourd, some veggie dish, meat slices with 咸菜长豆, and a 麻辣 dish with slices of tripe, pork telon, beef... Quite a lot of stuff in there, can't rem wat else, but it was super good, and not really that spicy.
Went to walk ard the neighborhood after dinner. Not that hot aft the sun sets. It's really super hot here. Like way hotter than sg. Even stuff like the soup n shampoo are lukewarm. Feels like ur constantly in an oven. Thk god for air cons! Dunnoe how I'm gonna survive when I visit the expo - long queues and all outdoors in the burning weather! I will die!!!! Anyway I got a china sim card, and after that we went to the supermart n bought like breakfast for today.
Woke up at 9 this morn n had breakfast. Ate the stuff we got yest, some local 糕点, n had yogurt drink too. Think they eat a lot of yogurts n yogurts drink here, alot of it in their supermart. Their supermart also sells cooked food like duck feet, pork slices, fried preserved veggies with meat... All sorts of stuff!
Went to the city area today. Took mrt there n visited several shopping malls n a bookshop, the largest in CQ. The bookshop is like 6 stories high. Got the following items there...
Japanese textbook! My friend has it too n she says it's good. Our sch course teaches sososo slow. No wonder my teacher last seem had such a great time laughing at us. This ones the most beginner lvl textbook, and has book 1 n 2. Both for only rmb64. N comes with cd too!
Yup! A DVD abt expo! 8 hours long on 4 DVDs, this one is more ex, rmb100.
My friend kept asking me to buy clothes, shoes, assesories etc. Trying really really hard to change my tomboy look... Took the abv pic in a changing room - she made me try a shirt but me being the fat pig that I am... The shirt was uber fitting n show off my tummy real well, smthing I have no intention to do...
She made me try a dress too... Seriously!!! A dress that shows off ur shoulder too at that! No way I'm gonna buy that thing! The last time I wore a dress is in jc 1... That is if u count rg pinafore as a dress. Besides that... Maybe in kindergarden or lower primary??? Getting me to buy a dress failed... Than she spotted the bear as shown in the pic abv in the same shop. I tot it was a pencil case, but turns out o be a recycling bag. Asked me if I wanted to buy it cos it's so cute, I find it ok I guess... But just that I took the blue bear instead of the pink one she showed me... If there wasn't a blue version I might not have gotten it... N if cos it's on offer too.. Usual price 99bucks, a whooping 20sgd can u believe that???!!?!?!? Thankfully 有打三折 which means 70% off in case u r wondering. 6 bucks... Still kinda ex but oh wells...
Went to an accessories street. Quite a huge area n loads of shops, didn't really buy anything... N well the necklace abv, my friend ask me if I liked it, I didn't want to keep saying no so I just smiled, than bravo... She haggled with the shopkeeper, succeeded n got it at 15rmb for me... Yes she paid, not me... Gotta treat her to a nice meal when we go shanghai n aft she come back sg. She's been paying for all sort of small stuff n makes me feel so bad n pathetic.
A keychain I got for me dad. 15bucks too n I paid this time.
A fan... Didn't bring one from sg so we decided to get a battery operated one so we can use at the expo. She got a strawberry pink one. 10bucks
Printed leaf vein bookmarks! 10bucks each.
Mint leaves n a mint drink. Just need to soak the mint leaves in cold water will do, can just add them to ur water bottle before u go out. Tastes quite good, tries it today. Haven tried the drink yet,
bringing it out tmr.
A snack that I got today, it's sesame, peanuts n macadamia nuts fried with dried chili. The stuff fillings into the dried chili. The on I tried is the less spicy one, n it really ain't very spicy. It's very crispy, and tastes quite good really.
That's abt all the stuff I bought today. Some other pics... 1st up is the expo passport. My friend ordered on9 n it got delivered today.
That's the cover.
The first page... N below ish the last
The passport cost 30rmb, but add in another 10 for the shipping.
