The Quest To Find The Burger King Wallet

The morning was a cold one on 3rd July 2010 as I set off in search of the fabled BK Wallet that contained vouchers from Burger King and more.

It was mentioned in the facebook account of Burger King that the wallet dropping will occur at 2 locations. One at Starhub Tampines Mall (opens 10:30am) and the other at Topshop/Topman Marina Sq (opens 11:30am).

Tampines was convenient, so I headed there.

I reached there at around 10am and was surprised that there were so many people in the mall so early in the morning.

What were they Queuing up for?

I then checked around and realised that it was the Hokkaido Fair in Tampines Mall. No wonder.

It was 10:13am and still early so I decided to walk around more and guess what I saw!

The FREE PLAY Digimon machine and there was NO crowd unlike Takashimaya!

Guess where it was.

Yup. Right Outside Toys’R’us. Awesome!!

It was about to be 10:30am so I headed to Starhub and just waited around there.

By the time I reached there, there was already a short queue outside Starhub. I thought to myself, “Oh! So many people here early in the morning to buy a new phone. Mm.. Must be because it was a Saturday”.

While waiting, I peered into the shop and saw 3 wallets inside. 1 was hanging on the Queue pole line and 2 more were stucked into the chairs. “Great! I’ll just walk in slowly and inconspicuously just take 1. Won’t be greedy and take 2…” I said to myself.

Once it was time, the Starhub stuff started to open the glass doors and suddenly I see Old Men and Ah Peks rushing into the shop and grabbing all the wallets in sight!

*Jaw Drops*

“What? Huh? Where? What just happened?”

I was totally shocked to see so many people rush in and within seconds all of them left the shop. I was still standing outside with my plan to slowly walk in and casually take a BK Wallet. There goes my plan!

Only in Singapore can you see Old Man run so fast that he can beat you in Shutter Run in IPPT.

Time Check:- 10:33pm

An Adventure To Scape and Takashimaya

On 20th June, I decided to head down to the Town area! The area around Somerset MRT station to be precise. I had 2 objectives!

Objective 1:
Head down to Takashimaya to get the Free Trial Digimon Data Cardass that was being promoted on TV countless of times

Objective 2:
See all the things at Scape. Heard there was MAGIC there.

Upon arrival at 4pm at Scape (the new shopping mall-complex), I got a flyer from the people that were giving out pamphlets. Magic show was at 3pm and at 5pm! I missed one!

Thinking everything through, I decided to head to Takashimaya first to get the Digimon Card at Basement 2 and this was what I saw:

The amount of kids there was madness! So anyway, to get the Free Trial Card, you need to answer a few Questions from Sunflowermon (I think that’s its name).

With my answers in Hand, I then went to the counter and to my utter disappointment:- FREE TRIAL CARD FULLY REDEEMED!

How can it be!? The horror! The angst! The Digimon-goodness! I didn’t even get to play the free play game! Too many Kids (and Parents?)!

So what else is left for a guy to do? Head over to Scape for the Magic Show! Before that, I wondered around and saw some nice Gundam models.

So onwards I went to Scape. Lots of cosplayers passing by around the area.

Even the Green Ranger was spotted there!

The show was at the “Home” stage at Scape and the Magician was none other then Sherman! Cool. Haven’t seen his stage act before. It was cool. Here’s some more pictures:-

At the end of the day. After all was done, I met some street magicians from the Magic Circle who were giving out $5 Scape Voucher via a magical method. How cool is that?

Free $5 Voucher which I used to buy some Yum-Yum chocolates!

And that was the end of the day of the Adventure TO Scape and Takashimaya! Fin.
