◔ 9:51 PM // ✎ 0 comment(s) | ❝ 7th June; Garena LoL 2nd anniversary ❞ |
Please note last Friday refers to last last Friday. I forgot to post this.
So since I have had loads to talk about for the past week or so, and to come, hopefully, I'm going to start uploading posts that I was meant to upload a few days ago (ages now.. I forgot to post), but was either lazy or had no time to post these. So, first off, its a gaming(sort...of) post! Beware! Long post ahead.
So last Friday, Garena had it's 2nd anniversary for LoL. They had an event in SG at Bugis+.
Being the normal me, even though I dont play the Garena version of LoL much(NA forever!), kinda just went there attempting to get a goodie bag + the free Gladiator Draven skin. I know, typical Singaporean behavior right? Sadly the event starts at 10am, and I actually had work that day so I could only head over after work. Didnt have much hopes for the goodie bags, but was still disappointed as to how it turned out.
Met up with Randy after both our work ended at Buona, since he works at One-North, the lucky dood, and headed for Bugis+. Loads of random shit went on in the train actually, funny stuff and I'm pretty sure we attracted quite a fair bit of attention from laughing about random stuff and talking LoL talk loudly.... So when we reached Bugis+ and I looked at the time I was kinda worried considering it was almost 8pm, and the event ended at 9+. So we hurried over. While we were on our way to the event venue inside Bugis+, we actually bumped into Kuntee on the escalator. Well, or at least I was the one who recognised him and pointed it out to Randy. KT was there to meet Edgar and HJ for dinner, but we ended up dragging him along with us to go queue for the Gladiator Draven skin. Mwahaha. So as he was valiantly trying to recall his summoner name, we continued talking about lots of random stuff and others while queueing, it was actually still pretty long at that hour but it was kind of fast so we only had to queue for about 10mins or so.
It also helped that there was events going on, and also people playing games on the computers in the area, so we were kinda commenting on their games and laughing about KT's beloved Caitlyn. So that was skin collection. We finally got to the front, and, guess what, all I needed to do was key in my summoner name. I guess thats the good thing, as I didnt need to do some extremely long registration process, so yay! Then we were wandering around after that because as I expected, all the goodie bags were long gone. That... was really sad. Was kinda looking forward to it, but hey, if an event starts at 10am, and its almost the end of the event, would u still expect goodie bags to be around? No yea? I just wish that instead of picking a Friday, they should have picked a weekend instead. So the working interns like us could actually go and enjoy the event as well instead of just all the young kids who are on hols. After all, we're the ones with money to spend on them right?
That being said, I heard that the goodie bags actually ran out around noon, so thats pretty amazing as to the amount of people who turned up to collect it. As we were wandering off to the higher floors to check out the Garena stadium, we kind of saw these standees where you can take photo with? Dont know how to describe them. Those standees with cut out faces and you can stand behind them to take photos? Yea, the standee we walked past was Annie with her Reverse Annie skin, so you could see Tibbers wearing Annie's usual outfit and Annie wearing Tibber's outfit. Cute huh? One of my favourite skins for Annie besides Frostfire Annie.
We made Randy take a photo while standing behind Tibbers... Well actually a few. And we laughed for an insane period of time being that he looked absolutely ridiculous. I would actually post a picture, but I'm not sure how he would take to his face being plastered here in a huge size. Ahahaha. Then we made him stand behind Annie's..... Lets just say I almost couldnt walk straight after that from all the laughing. They actually tried getting me to stand behind Annie. I politely declined. Politely declined meaning avoiding it like a ticking time bomb and changing the subject by quickly heading towards the escalator upwards. Not bad huh? :P
We actually spent a good half an hour walking around in the Garena Stadium shop. Trying on stupid things like the hats and holding up Badger Teemo plushies or Rammus hats/plushies and making Amumu hug KT and Randy. It was actually pretty fun. I think I actually annoyed them to death with Amumu.
Me : Dont you wanna hug Amumu? )':
Randy : No.
Me : Doesnt matter~ BANDAGE TOSS. *Smacks Amumu into Randy's face*
It was actually funny. Cause I did it so fast that he didnt even have a chance to react before he had a plushie smack him straight in the face. Did the same to KT. Just that he was smarter since he saw me do it to Randy. Mwahahahaahahah. I love the Badger Teemo plushie tho. Was kinda hinting to Randy to buy me one since my birthday was next week(back then). He refused. So .... MEH. QAQ.
After wandering awhile for a while longer and just walking around Bugis+ while waiting for HJ & Edgar to reach, since they decided to pit stop at Orchard so Edgar could pick up his 3DS, and since we decided to intrude on their dinner, they finally reached. So we went to meet them. Edgar was already head buried deep in his 3DS setting up stuff and fiddling with it. We were supposed to head to grab some food, but HJ decided to go to withdraw money from the ATM at Bugis, so we waited for him back at the floor where the Garena events were still going on, and Edgar went to go claim his Gladiator Draven skin as well.
There was some charades event going on, where 2 teams had to guess the champion accordingly to their dance. And since it was charades, they actually had to pass the dance on one by one, somewhat like the telephone game thing. It was hilarious watching the dance mutate as it passed from a member to another. They had a whole girls(5 girls) team against a 4 guys 1 girl team. Mostly guys team won. Since, well, they were more knowledgeable. The champion they had to guess was Malzahar, and yes, his dance was pretty complicated to enact out. The girls side somehow ended with the 2nd last person dancing TF's dance (a.k.a Gangnam Style), and the final girl somehow guessed the champion as Ahri. I still believe the emcee confused her. Since he said "It started off somewhat like the running man, then suddenly changes into this (does horse bit of gangnam style)." And as Ahri's dance is Run Devil Run, which does start off with a running man, I presume she got confused. Somehow the other team managed to guess Malzahar. Which is impressive. Wasnt looking at the dance that they were doing, so was a little unclear as to what happened on the other team. But well, Malzahar's dance was pretty complicated I'll give ya that. Cant do it myself either.
When HJ came back, we headed back upstairs to Ramen Champion, unfortunately for one, it was full, and two, it was non-halal so I offered to accompany Randy somewhere else to get food. The guys were nice tho so we went to look for halal food that Randy could eat. Kind of ended up at Manhattan Fish Market. If you saw my instagram, I uploaded a picture of my dinner that day :] Waited forever for a seat, then when we sat down, it was a 4 person booth, so being the only girl I had the honors of sitting in the aisle being the "head of the table". HJ kept mixing up the place for Fish & Co. as well. Was funny as when we were picking out items from the menu to order he kept looking for stuff from Fish & Co. and then he couldnt find it. Our ordering was kinda funny, cause we decided to write our orders down on a seperate piece of paper so that we could reference and not mess up the orders. Waiter decided to not jot it down and memorise it, but there was so much complicated shit that we decided to just give him the paper once and for all and sort it out since they kept changing their minds about x and changing their minds about y. We were ravenous and starving to death at that point, so we just drank our water and drinks while waiting for the food to arrive since they said they'd take about 20+ minutes for food to be served. Soups were served for HJ & Randy since they ordered it. Since me and HJ both ordered Manhattan Fish & Chips as main, it arrived first, considering F&C takes a shorter time to cook (right? I'm assuming here). Decided to wait a little while longer for the others' food to be served. I did help myself to my own chips tho. Mwahahahaha. Forgot what we talked about while eating, just remember some stuff related to SP memories and stuff.
When we finally left, courtesy of HJ needing to rush off to meet his aunt for some ahem ahem stuff, haha jk. I forgot what he was meeting his aunt for.. Uniqlo shopping I think? However we were joking that he was gonna do ahem ahem stuff with her in the Uniqlo changing rooms hahhaha. Anyway so while we were on the way home, many funny things happened. We made up new myths such as the case of the pregnant man. And the case of the stomped. It was pretty darn funny. Since I lived the nearest, I also happened to get off first, so I missed most of the rest of the fun. D'aww.
Anywayz long post coming to an end, I have finally managed to watch youtube videos and view blogs while at work so expect me to post more regularly.
Ta~
