Pumpfest Meet Up + Movie

PumpfestXV had a little meet up just before FOOT started :) We met on the 12th July at Orchard MRT and proceeded to have dinner at Tampopo at Takashimaya :D

The food wasn't too bad...But the price was a bit on the higher side...Haha. For the quality of food, I felt it was overpriced by like at least $5...Nothing really fascinating about the food...there wasn't any "WOW" factor in it.

Anyway, it's the fellowship that really matters right? Haha. Fellowship we did :D We had a nice meal together and talked mainly about the upcoming FOOT camp :D

Here are a few photos of us at Tampopo :D

Kai Sen & Me :D

Kai Sen, Me & Yi Qian :)

As you can see in the picture above, I ordered some spicy pork ramen soup dish. It was not bad. And Kai Sen ordered some plain pork ramen soup dish...Both were alright but I think we paid like $15+ for that bowl of noodles...Is it overpriced or what?

Ok, it's a restaurant I know...we pay for the ambience, location, service, etc...But still, I find it a bit on the high side for non-working university students like us...haha.

It wasn't that filling for the tummy either...Thankfully a lot of the girls couldn't finish their food so the few of us vacuum cleaners cleared up whatever's left...LOL!

Pang Ngee & I :)

I was expecting more people to wear Pumpfest shirt since it was a Pumpfest meet-up but to my dismay, only  Sean, Joyce and I shared the same idea...LOL! HAHA!

Oh well, Pumpfest2012 is over so we're no longer official Pumpfesters right? HAHAHA! Whatever...LOL...here's a group shot of us outside Tampopo :)

Take 2 with Pumpfest hand-sign! :)

After dinner, many of them left while the rest of us proceeded to watch a movie! Haha...Some of them were suggesting Ice Age 3...But it faced fierce opposition from Gui Ru and myself...LOL! Ice age sucks la...all the previous Ice Age movies was really...kiddy. Haha.

So we just decided on the next earliest movie timing and booked that movie...That movie was "Painted Skin", a chinese kung-fu movie.

So while waiting for the movie timing, we went shopping! :D Here's one interesting shop we shopped in for the longest time...forgot its name but it sold lotsa cute stuff. Some of them were cute spectacles worn by Ching Yee below...haha

Ching Yee & Shi Min :D

Shi Min took a really obiang pair of glasses though...Haha! But I think Ching Yee's selection is quite nice :D I wouldn't mind wearing that too! LOL!

The best part is...in the shop there is a makeshift payphone that you can really buy and use. It's connected to the phone line.

So I used it to prank call Priscilla in my all-time-famous girl voice. She was right there in the shop with me but didn't notice it was me! LOL!!

I was like pretending to be the movie ticket personnel calling her and asking her to come down to get the movie tickets changed and all...LOL! And she was like "Ok, ok" and everyone was looking at her...LOL!!

Finally she realized who the mystery caller was and the shop was filled with ticklish guffaws..HAHAHA!

Anyway, the movie "Painted Skin" has a good run time and an interesting but SUPER FAIRY TALE storyline. The computer graphics employed was SUPER UNBELIEVABLE!! As with all chinese dramas...when the kung-fu hits full force all sorts of graphics come into play which make it super fake...LOL!

Wei Hong fell asleep and Pang Ngee was busy SMS-ing and whatsapp-ing while me and Priscilla were like controlling our bladders!! HAHAHAHA!

Ching Yee beside me was absorbed into the show though...haha! And so were the people seated behind my row - Joyce, Tee Li, Jia Yi and Shi Min. LOL!

Oh well, we had fun laughing together at the movie...especially Priscilla and myself...we were just laughing at the computer effects used in the movie and coming up with our own funny script for the actors...LOL!

All in all, it was a fun outing :D Enjoyed the fellowship, laughter and conversations :) Once again, long live Pumpfest!! HAHAHA!
