It was ALL-HAIL-UNIQLO on the first day at Tampines One. The store was the only one that required a queue to enter. I almost wanted to decide to come back another day after seeing the queue, but eventually decided against it, afterall it was the only reason I went to the new mall. Fortunately, it was just a 15-minute wait.
There's easily a hundred people in the store at any one time. Guess the publicity worked very well. It was splashed on front pages of papers; at City Hall and Tampines MRTs; on radio, etc. Or perhaps people, like me, just wanted to catch on the hype that surrounds the opening of the First Southeast-Asia store of Japan's Number One Casual Wear Brand.
(If this is the first time you've heard of the brand, do thank me for mentioning here! )
The sale was mouthwatering. Decided on 3 items. And I've already shortlisted the items for my next visit. I was tempted to get a pair of jeans this time round, but ditched the thought, since I've yet to wear the Levi's that I exchanged a few months back. I guess I really can believe that some followers of Uniqlo ONLY swear by the brand.
The second one will hit Ion Orchard in June. Hopefully there'll be another round of opening sales? The current one ends 10 days later, on the 19th.

你们认识 阿桑 吗?
她就是演唱过 《蔷薇之恋》 那首感人肺腑的片尾曲 [叶子] 的女歌手。个人蛮喜欢 [叶子] 这首带着淡淡伤感的歌,过去也常反复听着。
不过,这把沧桑的声音绝响了。
阿桑病逝了,享年才34岁。
这些曾在933热播过的代表作,仅是我们对她的回忆。

The latest new thing I've decided to pick up in 2009 is: Guitar.
Went to register yesterday with yusong and the course starts in May. So I'll at least learn till August, before seeing if time permits me to continue. I've long been wanting to learn something musical, but procrastination always takes the better of me. But I'd still hope to pick up keyboard one day.

I always love to tune in to [Sunday Eleven] after a major Mandarin Pop concert is held in Singapore, because the DJ will describe the interesting parts and play the songs that had been performed.
And yes--50 minutes of today's programme were dedicated to Cheer Chen's concert last night. Listening to the series of songs and her descriptions did make me feel how much I've missed out. I really hope there'll be a concert DVD.
简直有太多好歌了!These are just the more familiar ones that I can associate with.
