We got a lot of rice. And loot!

1 million KG challenge

I kept seeing the ad for the 1 Million Kg Challenge on my facebook and I went “Oooh” when I clicked on it. The Health Promo Board is having a new campaign where people can win stuff when they lose weight.

The launch was the weekend of 15 and 16th March at Ngee Ann City. I had been waiting to know where the weigh in kiosks were going to be at and so this was the best place to get it.

It’s actually a campaign that promotes fitness and all that. The only pissy bit is that there ARE requirements if you want to join this challenge which is the whole BMI thing.

If you’re too under their BMI range, you can’t sign up, if you’re too over you can’t sign up either. I guess it’s for their own disclaimer safety because this is a general challenge and they can’t do tailored recommendations for those who are too under or over the BMI range to join this.

Really too bad though because I know there are friends who are over their BMI target range and want to do this. Plus, BMI is not the exactly the best way to measure because everyone has a different body type. ANYWHO, this ain’t a health blog, so y’all go research on what I mean since I’m gonna just continue about the event itself!

Spoiler alert: I am within their BMI challenge range so I can join this.

A feast of Game of Thrones?

Savour 2014!

I was invited to the royal wedding of his highness King Joffrey Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell by HBO Asia. For those who don’t know who they are, I’m gonna go “Whaaaaaaat” and also that they’re from the GAME OF THRONES.

A new season is beginning and thus, HBO Asia invited some of us geeks for a little get together at their event at Savour 2014. It’s at the Promontory this year.

Filler post!

It's called pannbiff

Just a filler post. So have some very filling pannbiff, ah ha ha haaaa.

This was at Fika at Millenia Walk. They didn’t have Kopparberg so that’s actually Champis (they’re sodas) and it tastes kind of like Zapple, so apple soda. Mintea had Portello which DOES taste like caramel! It would probably taste really good as a float too.

I did blog about Fika at Beach Road before and YES, the food is still awesome, so yay!

Venus Run goodie bag!

Also, I picked up my Venus Run bag. I’ll be running next week and no, I’m not a run runner. I just uh, run and mostly walk too? It’s just 5km anyway.

Pretty much this is just a filler post since I have other things to post about in the week under State of Sarah.

For one thing, Scoot did reply to me and well… You’ll know soon what’s going to happen.

Really Random Encounters

Detecting metal?

We went to the national museum for the Total Defence 30th anniversary! There were so many cool things to do even before entering the museum.

Like playing with metal detectors and eating army rations or checking out their weaponry.

Unfortunately, by the time you read this, the special exhibition is oveeer.

OH AND BY THE WAY. I AM VERILY GLAD, my two teams in N.E.mation? THEY BOTH GOT INTO TOP THREE. The champion and the 1st runner up but that shall be a different post…

Anyway, Saturday really was random adventures day.

Scootering…

Oxelo scooter is cat sized?

I didn’t get my scooter from Scoot and bought it last week at the stated date. A proper review of it is will be in March onwards when I have traveled around with my Oxelo Town 7 Easyfold scooter.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut.

So we’ll see how.

Kind of short post but I went on the Marina run on Saturday! And ok, it was the 5km fun run and I managed to do it so YAY.

To the outerlands…

Not posting anything too much for this Monday but here’s a reminder…

Meanwhile, I got a mini interview up at Naiise. I curated a list of things to get for Valentine’s Day! Go check that out.

Eh this post looks so empty so here…

Cajons!

Here’s cajons being set up at Jurong regional library. That’ll be for another post since we made music!

It’s 30 Years of Total Defence!

National Museum of Singapore

I got invited to the Total Defence media conference the other day and I wondered if I should attend. OBVIOUSLY, I said yes hahahaha. Thanks AsiaPRWerkz for inviting me! Anyway, it’s about this year’s events cause it’s the 30th anniversary of total defence!

This is going to be a LONG post because there IS a lot of exciting things happening.

Tote-ally cool.

I tote-ally liked this bag. A lot of others did too because of the pun. Inside was a nifty file of press releases, postcards and a Happy Feet figurine (you’ll see in the later part of this post).

OH and you might be able to get one of these bags too! Details later below, hahaha.

WHO TO VOTE?

Guys, guyyyys.

COME SUPPORT MY TWO GIRL POWAAAH TEAMS. I’ve written about them before here. And their animations are really cool.

VOTE FOR C05 aka The 4 of Us II. Why is there a II? It’s because this was their second time entering the competition but this is the first for them to make it THIS FAR.

VOTE FOR C08 aka Momento Mori. The punny girls who are hyper and are one of the fastest amongst the 10 teams to finish animating.

You can watch it on the voting website and yes, Co5 is all black and white while C08 is all colourful! BAAAM! A GREAT DUO OF A TEAM.

And you can vote for THREE teams in your four chances. I leave it to you, to choose the last because it’s really hard to choose from all of them.

Thus… 3 x 4 = 12 chances to win the items!

ALSO, support ALL the teams because they ALL did work hard.

Have a look see at their animations, they all laboured for 3 weeks non-stop to do it and the least you can do is watch them, yeah?

Voting ends on the 15th! Soooo go ask your relatives to vote (my teams, heh heh) when you’re off to Chinese New Year visiting or as a talking point if you have no idea what to say to them.

Or this can be a romantic thing(???).

Vote before Valentines’ Day and… Ok, yeah it’s romantic because…. YOU PLAYED A PART.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Not Yet Fired Up!

Thow Kwang entrance!

It was a Walk With Us to Craft Initiatives: Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle workshop by the library’s Press Play programmes. Just so you know, this tour and info session was TOTALLY FREE.

When I saw this programme in the Golibrary booking system, I clicked add to cart because it was the freaking dragon kiln (one of 2? in Singapore) and it’s always been so far from me.

Hence, I had to go since I wanted to go there for quite a long while.

This is the first time I went on an EXCURSION with the library, they chartered a bus for us too. So exciting.
