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
