I was thinking of ordering KFC for lunch so I googled “kfc delivery” and saw this:

LOL. The paid link on top goes to McDelivery. McDonald’s trying to poach KFC customers?

I shall make a checklist now. That’s my task.

Your task is to mentally tick all items that apply!

Here:

1. You are always bored.
2. You want to do a specific activity (say, mountain climbing) but your buddies aren’t into it.
3. You want to find a boyfriend.
4. You want to find a girlfriend.
5. Okay, fine, you just want to make more friends or network.
6. You want to know what’s fun to do in Singapore.
7. You enjoy having a sense of belonging.
8. You need more hobbies.
9. You like taking part in contests and winning prizes.

That’s enough for now. Done?

Now, I shall tell you what this is all about.

See, if you placed even one tiny tick on any of the above items, it means you should check out this place called in2it.sg! =D

It’s a lifestyle portal which helps connect people who have the same interests!

So, I just signed up for fun. See, here’s my profile page:

There’s a buddy system in there which allows you to search for buddies by interest, so you can easily connect with someone who enjoys the same things as you!

For NSmen, you can even search by ORD! LOL.

Well, this portal was created by SAFRA so I suppose it’s geared towards NSmen. Many articles in there cater to guys (cars, gadgets, how to read girls’ body language, etc). Also, SAFRA members get occasional perks like discounts and stuff.

But girls and non-members can join also lah. I see girl members in there!!

Who are these cuties?! =D

Fuse is the club for clubbing peeps. LOL ok I shall explain about clubs now.

There are 19 SAFRA-run clubs which you can join for planned outings in your interest area, where you also get discounts and privileges!

Some example clubs here:

Besides clubs, there are also user-created interest groups for gathering like-minded people. You can create a group easily and have the system recommend people to invite!

You can also create public activities which will appear on all members’ in2it.sg homepage with an option to join your activity. (Or create private activities just for friends.)

Anyway, signing up is free, so no harm trying, right? There’s a series of six contests happening right now as part of in2it.sg’s first-year anniversary celebrations, so please try to win yourself something! $5,000 worth of prizes up for grabs. Whee!

The contests are only happening in March so now’s a good time to sign up! =)

If you’re an SAF NSman, receive a 2GB thumbdrive for being the first 100 to sign up. You need to do two things on signing:

1. Use WMGi as the referral code.
2. After logging in, update your profile to indicate you’re an SAF NSman.

So not fair lah, you guys get all the perks!

But, anyway, my job is done now. So…

No, wait wait wait… one more thing!

FACEBOOK FAN PAGE! =D

Be a fan and win prizes from the many contests! ;)

Okay, my job done!

Your job: Get in2it and have some fun! ;)

I attended a “live” screening of Academy Awards at GV Grand this morning!

This was the invite:

To be honest, I’ve never been interested in the Oscars. I’m interested to know that a movie I watched or an actor I like has won an award, but I wouldn’t sit down for four hours to watch it happen. I’m happy to hear the news if someone tells me, but I wouldn’t actually go find out myself.

So why did I attend this event?

I dunno. I guess I thought it sounded glam and fun, something different.

Also, I wanted to see Avatar win awards.

I’m sad it only won three, but I suppose The Hurt Locker is a worthy contender even though I haven’t watched it.

I want to watch it now, though. I liked Kathryn Bigelow when she was giving her acceptance speeches for Best Director and Best Picture. Very real and humble.

Actually, many speeches were very real and humble. I enjoyed Sandra Bullock’s (Best Actress) speech. Moved me to tears!

By the way, Ben Stiller went on stage to present an award looking like a Na’vi. He was so funny!

I was a bit stressed about the dress code today. It said “Hollywood Glitz” but I really didn’t think Singaporeans would dress in Hollywood Glitz on a Monday morning (9 am).

But I feel that it’s important to follow dress codes to respect the event. Yet, I don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. So I compromised today by doing casual glitzy.

Actually, bluff you one. I did casual glitzy cos I don’t have anything full glitzy to wear. Haha.

I know the pants is really wrong. I really would have preferred to wear a skirt, but I don’t have any appropriate ones. And I only started deciding what to wear half an hour before I was due at the event, lol.

I had thought to wear a certain black dress I have, but realised this morning that it was crumpled and there was not enough time to iron it!! What a catastrophe.

Anyway, beside me is Fish Chaar, my actor friend, who has played my screen partner in films about four times or more, I can’t remember.

He’s working in Universal Studios Singapore this year. SO COOL RIGHT! If you visit the Donkey Island or something like that, see if you can spot him!

So, when we arrived at the event 20 minutes late (thanks to my wardrobe emergency), we found that 85% of the guests had gone in very casual clothes (like jeans and tee) or work wear. No one was even near Hollywood Glitz lah what is wrong with Singaporeans??!!!

Pictures of the breakfast reception. We were served champagne with breakfast.

We also got a goodie bag consisting of a magazine, some perfume and skincare samples, and tons of vouchers.

Okay, I don’t mean to sound ungrateful because it’s a good thing when people give stuff to you and you shouldn’t complain. But I really think goodie bags ought to have real stuff in them, not samples and vouchers, which really just come across as disguised advertising.

Well, to be fair, samples and vouchers aren’t that bad since you can actually use them. I have received goodie bags that come with advertising leaflets and brochures. Seriously, where is the “goodie” in that?!

Alright, done ranting.

Okay, not really ranting, more like observing, since I enjoyed myself today and am in a happy mood. And I realise that the Oscars is a really entertaining show. Guess I’ll be watching it yearly from now on.

If I can wake up.

Visited Buckaroo BBQ & Grill for spicy buffalo wings, supposedly similar to Sunset Grill & Pub’s wings.

Tried Level 3. Spicer. Looks and tastes different. Not nice! Won’t be going back again. Still love Sunset Grill! =D

Last night, while waiting for the Goonfather to come watch TV with me, I bought a PopCap game through Steam. I had resisted for a week cos it costs USD9.90 and I was scared I would get bored of it quickly.

Whaddya know, less than 24 hours after I bought the game, I received an e-mail saying my application to be a PopCap beta tester had been accepted and I could now play ALL PopCap games for free.

ARRGH. Could have saved my money! But I’m having fun now playing PopCap games free. You can apply for it, too! (Only for SE Asia.) Click here! =)
