Decided to blog two posts in a row. U should scroll down later for my 2nd post.
Went to Science Centre as Jun Wen has received 2 free Omnimax theatre tickets from his company. The last time I went to Omnimax Theatre was when I was in Primary School. I forgot what show it was screening at that time, let alone did I remember what I learnt. I only recalled losing my spectacles and felt really bad about it the whole day. Lol.
Have u forgotten how Omni-Theatre look like? I can't remember too. Until I went into it. It was a dome-shaped screen. It creates an illusion that u are a part of the show. And as the show went on, u felt like u were moving along with the waters in the screen. It made me want to vomit though. I have carsick remb? Had to close my eyes sometimes to take a break from the motion pictures.
Taken outside Science Centre.
One of the shows screening in Omni-Theatre: Flying Monsters.
As we entered the Science Centre, this electronic dinosaur was moving its head and tail.
Couldn't capture a complete shot of this dino since it was too huge. :D
I wanted to watch Flying Monsters while Jun Wen was more interested in Amazing Caves. It was only 3pm in the noon and the showtime for Flying Monsters was 6pm, and 8pm for Amazing Caves. I told Jun Wen that we can try buying Flying Monsters ticks first, and he agreed. But these tickets were sold out when we got to the ticketing counter. I wondered if Jun Wen was involved in secretly praying for the tickets to be sold out.
We headed to Jcube, the new mall at Jurong East while waiting for the 8pm show. We also conveniently took photos with other Omnimax theatures.
And since our show would start only at 8pm, we went to JCube, a newly opened mall by Capitaland in Jurong East. Not all shops in it were opened yet. The new ice rink was opened! A hockey game was on-going when we passed by. Crowds of people were all around the ice rink.
Went into an unique store in JCube. This store came up with a new creative idea of having shoppers shop for shoes placed on racks. You can go to the section that has shoes your size, take a pair of shoes from the shoebox and try it. If u like it, u take the shoebox and pay for it. Shopping has never been easier.
I got really hungry in the early evening since I had a very light lunch. I always wanted to try Watami. I forgot who recommended me Watami food since my impression of it stayed great.
We had to queue before going in since the restaurant only began its operations at 5 plus.
And here we were. I didn't know that they didn't really have main courses in the menu. They were mostly varieties of side dishes. Hence, we decided on a Special Set for 2 at $59.

Stove for the Hot Pot.
He was sleeping while waiting for the food to come. Lol. He has been waking up early these days.
The above were parts of the whole set. We got really full halfway. The food was awesome but the portion was too big! We had to ask the waitress to pack our pizza for us to take home.
And finally it was 8pm and we were ready to go into the theatre.
It was too bad that no photography was allowed in the theatre.
:D
It was again a new experience in the theatre. A bit about the show:
Journey Into Amazing Caves tells the story of Nancy Aulenbach and Dr. Hazel Barton, who share a love for caves and cave exploration. Join these two accomplished cavers as they explore unusual caves, like ice caves in Greenland and underwater caves in the jungles of Mexico, looking for important clues about the Earth's past and microorganisms that inhabit its most extreme environments. On the giant screen, this unique story will transport viewers on an adventure to some of the most extraordinary environments on earth.
Took a few more photos when we came out of the theatre.
It was an very graphical exhibition on the planets in our universe.
Tell u a secret: I am recently learning not to always strike a stiff pose whenever the camera is pointing at me.
I try to put one leg ahead of the other. Lol.
I bought these very cute hair accessories from a store in JCube. They were having a 30% off storewide.
Love the unique designs, since a band consists of two "decorations". I thought I didn't see those anywhere in Sg.
This is how the hair tye looks like on your hair.
The volume of the decoration gets big. Lol.
CS bought us an elephant keychain each from Bangkok! Lol. We were pretty touched and surprised that he did buy us something since before he left for Bangkok he told us not to dream of him buying anything for us. Lol.
I am satisfied with how this photo turned out to be.
- April is my month! :D Always feeling on the top of the world for the whole of April. Singtel birthday vouchers, 20% off Topshop and 20% off New Look!
- My friend Coreen is getting married in 3 months' time and has invited me to her wedding! It's my first time attending a friend's wedding. I'm so excited about it. :D Lol. I know plenty of you guys have attended countless and I wonder why I haven't attend one. Am I too anti-social? Ooops! Lol.
I saw one of her latest photos and she really look much slimmer than before. Omg! During the time I knew her about 2 years back, she was trying to slim down to prepare for her wedding! And she succeeded. No wonder my ex-intern supervisor told me never underestimate a woman's determination! I wanna be like her too. :D
- I have gone for 3 sessions of IPL facial (Please don't tell my mum!). I have been looking forward to doing Chemical Peel since ages ago but didn't have the money to. I booked a Groupon voucher a month ago to do Diamond Peel but the beautician told me to switch to IPL since my skin is too sensitive to peels. I am hopeful about the results! IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a facial treatment that uses laser light. I use laser light in my work so yea I love lasers. Lol.
U know I really didn't mind about my skin condition.. But I'm getting married (in like 3 years' time) and I have to prepare for it. LOL. Super kiasu. I'm going for braces too. And I have to find ways to slim down, which is super hard. About whitening, I give up. Lol. I will just stay as a dark-skinned person. :D
- Getting my bonus and pay increment 2 days before my birthday! So excited about it. My birthday gift. Lol. And I'm really looking forward to spend my birthday in Bangkok. Shop till I drop! CS is back from Bangkok and bought 16 shirts from there. I wanna buy more than him!
- My dad has Facebook now. LOL. I created an account for him. Please add my dad!
- Wanna dye my hair again. What kind of gold this time? Ehss..
- We opened a joint account so that the next time u come to my new house u can see some furniture and a TV. LOL.
- My younger brother saw me watching repeated Friends episodes one day and got me to give him some. He was hooked onto them and now he began watching The Big Bang Theory, and almost everyday I heard loud laughter across the room. He also tried watching How I Met Your Mother but didn't like it. Just like me. Lol.
I am here to blog about the fatter Jun Wen. Lol. I was stalking Jun Wen's Facebook photos again and I accidentally click the back button and the Jun Wen 4 years back appeared on my laptop screen! I have forgotten how skinny he used to be. Jun Wen and I have started to investigate when he started to grow fat.
So here goes.. Let's go back into 2008.

Jun Wen Xmas 2011. Friend's wedding dinner. Nice natural photo! Love it. This was taken by his friend, the photographer I raved about all the time.
Jun Wen beginning Feb 2012 CNY at his hall friend's house. I think sometimes some cameras make people look fatter. Especially when I suspect it's a zoom. So we can't judge using this photo.
Jun Wen mid Feb Taiwan with his army pals.
Much more obvious. Lol.
LOL.

Most recent photo, Apr 2012 DSTA outing with his colleagues. While I was preparing for some auditing to be done in our lab, Jun Wen spent that Friday with his company people at Sentosa. Their company bonding! GRRRR..
Thanks for going through all the photos! :D So our conclusion is that he has been slowly gradually putting on weight since 2011. We didn't realize until recently. He didn't really eat more or exercise less. Think it's because of having a desk bound job? Or that his metabolism rate has slowed? Don't misunderstand me, I'm truly glad that he, although very unwillingly, is trying to reach an agreement that when I stand next to him I don't look so fat. LOL.
