Family Funnival @ IMM
Went to meet up with Edwin, Wei Cheng and Choon Tat to go IMM and support Xue Yi at the Teen Star competition. She beat about 150 participants to be in the final 6. As usual, Wei Cheng was rather late. After that, we went to Jurong Entertainment Centre to play arcade while waiting for time to pass. Saw Doni and Christopher playing pool at K-Pool. Then we saw Hester, Yu Yong, Wei Li, Qing He and Jackie and headed to the arcade. We played the basketball game and thought some of us did pretty well with 300+ points in a group. Then we saw this pair playing. Their overall score was 1032. They were so fast in throwing the balls. Then we went downstairs to have dinner. Some went to Long John Silver while the others went to a Japanese stall to have the food. Alvin managed to join us for dinner after his meeting with Ms Lee. I ordered Oyaku Udon. It was very nice. There was this kind lady who offered us a untouched fish which she and her children could not finish.
Then we headed to IMM. Took quite a while to find the exact place. Once there, we saw some other Unitians as well. Kang Yi, Gary, Sarah Hoon, Ying Qi, Rui Xian, Yi Lin, Sherlyn, Darina, Agnes, Hui Ying, Lee Feng, Jeremy Loh, Tiam Kwee, Kevin, Ricky, Yvonne (Clement's sister) and her friend, Xue Yi's family. The whole performance began with a few dance performance and singing and followed by the arrival of the Guest of Honour, Mr Thaman Shanmugaratnam, Minister for Education. There was a rapper there who did some quite nice rap. After that was the performance by Hady Mirza. Then the Teen Star finals began. A few of the singers sang quite well actually. However, some of them went off pitch sometimes. When it was Xue Yi's turn, a lot of us cheered for her. After that, some of us went to buy some drinks and also look at the handphone displays. I saw some of the phones that I had in mind. The N93i cost about $1000+. Then we went back up, only to realize we missed the results. Xue Yi got third place and her reward was a Everlast Watch and $200 prize money. We took photos there. I'll try to get the photos from the others asap. We then headed to Bukit Batok to have our supper. We initially chose McDonalds but it did not have enough space for the 20+ of us. We then headed to the nearby food court and ate. Some left after eating while the rest of us remained to watch the show on TV, Final Destination 2. It began to rain shortly after that. Then we left at about 11.20pm.
