I am feeling much better after all my medication. In my previous post, I have mentioned that my faithful bed has passed away. So now, I have no place to zZzz in. My personal superhero - Ah Pork came to my rescue! He offered his bed to me. Now I have a temporary bed, sad to say but he has the King Koil mattress (he had a better bed than I do) there is no way I should say no to it. Plus, I will need to wake up early tomorrow to cover a colleague for my part time job.
This is the beginning of my day one of being a happy refugee... It starts after work, I get free perks! All thanks to Colgate and Singapore Dental Association. In the month of August, free dental checkups (oral examination and consultation) is available to public at the scheduled roadshows in accordance of Oral Health Month!
This was the roadshow I happened to pass by in Compass Point - Sengkang.
I was given an informative booklet and was encourage to have my free dental checkup by practicing dentist.
The useful, informative and handy booklet.
It educates public on oral health related topics like gum diseases, sensitive teeth, cavities and how to brush better etc.
Just like seeing a doctor in the clinic, I got my queue number
and waited patiently outside the consultation room for my turn.
My checkup sheet with problem teeth areas being highlighted. Erm.. sad but the dentist said my teeth was not exactly as clean as I thought it should be *sob* . He said it was due to my orthodontics fixture - retainers at my lower teeth and that I might want to consider removing my 2 wisdom tooth at the lower gums. There was another booth that handed me free samples.
Free Samples!!
Colgate Total Toothpaste
Haha!! This happens to be the toothpaste my family now uses...
Colgate Plax Fresh Tea
After the success of Colgate Plax, they have come up with a new Fresh Tea Flavour. I have tried and tested it, it really keeps my mouth clean and fresh for hours.
What I like about it - Colgate Plax Fresh Tea Flavour?
Refreshing Tea Flavour - can really feel the tea leaves kind of flavour explodes in your mouth
No burning sensation - unlike usual mouthwash, we tend to get the prickling, burning sensation once you gurgle and the mouthwash touches your tongue, this is really different it does not have that scary feeling that you will lose your tastebuds any time.
Long lasting - it really keeps my mouth fresh and clean for hours at least 6-8 hours.
No strong minty taste - best for people who doesn't like minty stuff
It is tried and tested!! Highly recommended, I will get a bottle once I use up my sample.
For those who are interested to go for the free dental checkups and collect your free samples (only available on Fridays - Sundays)

Time to put dental health aside first and fill up my groaning tummy.
Went to Chomp Chomp @ Serangoon Gardens for dinner with Ah Pork. Well, Chomp Chomp is most probably one of the best hawker centre we have here in Singapore, our babysitter for the Genting Trip - Ladyironchefalso say so!
Great Stomach thinks alike!! I only found out that I ordered my food from the same stalls in Brad's (Ladyironchef) post on Chomp Chomp..Muahahaha (^o^)
Chicken Wings that Sparkles....
Fat Fat Oyster on my Oyster Omelette!!
Hokkien Mee with not the usual texture due to the white thick noodles that are slimmer than normal ones. It is amazing how I could still eat Hokkien Mee after having diarrhea that was triggered by Hokkien Mee. Maybe because I am half a Hokkien that is why I cannot resist it??
Satay without my Ketupat (-_-)
Don't know why people will order satay without the Ketupat (rice wrapped in weaved leaves)? Ask Ah Pork. It is supposed to be the essence of this malay dish. For people who do not know how Ketupat looks like:
Apart from the well known gambling scene on the peak where I made my very first WorldCard which my aunties would already have points in it enough to get them a complimentary stay in Genting.
Here's my overly bloated face on my card (the counter staff took it from bottom to top instead of the slimmer shot method top down Argh..)
But too bad, didn't get to the chance to try out to see if I have the beginner's luck. Maybe next time, but I did went for a walk around the casino. Saw the free refreshments so tempted to help myself with the milo lol...
What to do on a boring night? What about catching a blockbuster movie?
Cinema
Snack Bar
Went to watch these cute guys from Ice Age 4!! So funny the holy crab lol..
What are the perks of watching movie there? The 3D Premium Tickets cost only RM19 and comes with a snack (got free snack leh, I paid money at Singapore's cinema only got my ticket stub back)
What else is in store for us?
Midnight Bowling on these neon lit bowling alley. Cool right?
There is also KTV and Pool. Jiejie, Me, Sharon, Aunty, Mei Hui and Yvonne went to sing K on the second day. Right after watching Khalil Fong's concert, it is time for mine muahahahahaha...
What did I found in the KTV room?
A microphone with a polka dot shower cap on!
How can we forget the concert?
We bloggers were given complimentary tickets to watch Khalil Fong (honestly, he was a very strong pulling factor to why I have wanted to join this Foodie Tour)
So excited about the concert that I gone bonkers..
Haha just nice the bubble can cover my big butt lol! Look like Siao Char Bo (Mad and Distress Woman)
Obviously, I am not the only crazy ones...
A fly might be able to fly into Yvonne's mouth lol...With the light sticks I bought (intend to use it on Big Bang concert...cheapo me!)
Getting Sitting (See the venue before concert)
When the concert starts, the whole venue was filled with colourful lights very pretty (damn, my lousy camera can't really see how beautiful it was-another valid reason why I need a DSLR badly)
Khalil Fong with Fiona Sit (我对不起你们乡亲父老!Because of my lousy camera, you all can't see their faces clearly) But I do know some of our bloggers on this tour had superb camera and had filmed part of the concert which is obviously illegal haha... but because we want to show you the best we break the rules set! See how much we love you guys!
He sung one of my all time favourite song called Love Song
Love his R&B tunes, you hardly hear Chines have such smooth and soulful voice.
When we thought we are all gonna leave with the rest of the crowd...We were so so wrong. I think all of you will be so jealous of us - We have the backstage passes!! Woohoo seeing him in real so close (my first backstage pass *grinns*) And we managed to take a group photo with him
This is what you call so near and yet so far. 方大同 was drown in the crowd and looks a bit like the wax figurine you see in Madame Tussauds maybe due to the lighting and makeup ba! Lucky Ziwei and Leonard (lovely couple) are nearer to him. Mei Hui and Vonnie (Yvonne) both shook hands with him. *Jealous me!*
The jealous me was grabbing their hands when they said they shook hands with him lol!
After talking so much about activities at night, let's go for some activities in the day. Sorry ah.. Nocturnal animals like me introduce the night activities before day activities haha.
Peeps that still has that wild and playful child in you, theme park would most likely be your hangout place. There are a number of exciting rides not to be missed. One of it will be the Spaceshot.
It looks like a tower of terror right with the dark clouds shadowing it. But it was really fun. It feels exactly like jumping down a building, the moment without warning and you find your heart sunk with the fall and butts away from your seat. Not for the faint-hearted. It is 185 feet tall and lifts up at 67km/h within seconds!
It rises up to 8 feet high and has 1500 bright lights on it.
How can we miss the cockscrew - the name sounds abit funny but it is a roller coaster ride that makes you overturn at 90 feet above ground and has a speed of 70km/h. Erm missed this ride though, can see a technician walking up the track? He is doing his routine checks at the moment.
Want to know how it feels like to be a superman? There are two rides that can fulfill your wish.
1. Flying Coaster (Outdoor Theme Park)
Sorry folks to photos allowed so we only have a youtube video.
By the way, just to take note - for sky venture there a limited slots a day so have to book before hand and for the rides be it indoor or outdoors queue early or set aside more time for them. Waiting time is a killer on weekends.
If you think you are not young anymore or these rides are just not your cup of tea, you can also visit the strawberry farm, mushroom farm and lavender farm which many other fellow bloggers went.
Good Food, Exciting Rides, wonder what is missing here? That will definitely be the new lovely friends

太感动了! I actually talk to him and took photos with him. I read his blog and now I have a chance to know him in person. At first I thought he will be yaya papaya (proud) but he is a really nice and down-to-earth guy.
I managed to ask him the secrets of being a food blogger and keep a slim figure. It is not high metabolism rate which I suspect but it is E.X.E.R.C.I.S.E!! Behind the glamourous surface and all that food there is hardwork a hell lot of hardwork.
SEE! SEE! Dedication and hardwork! On a trip still need to tweet and look after our bags..Ironladychef leh!
