overly priced sweets...

Sorry bout those bkk updates. But i jus need to blog this....

Well.. Went to meet a friend, DH, for dinner. We ate steamboat at "Ting yuan" steamboat along liang seah street. I really like the steamboats there. They make the soup so nice n best of all they have lotsa stuffs for u to make the sauce. Josh made one for me super sauce for me n i feel tat a simple boiled meat tasted so much better with the sauce. :)

Well.. wat i really wanna blog about is wat happen after all these..

We were so full so we decided to walk around bugis to help digest. After walking for a while in bugis, DH wanted to pee. lol. So i directed him to the toilet downstairs since we were near hang ten. (Actually i wanna go see see look look the arcade one. lol) But, little did i realise a disaster was soon to unfold....

Being typical non-gamers, josh n DH were pretty out of place when they are in the arcade. Untill the went to the "ladies" sections. lol. They are those prize oriented games. u get a prize for playing. Like the UFO catcher of the last time. Now it hav evolved to lotsa other types of game. Like catching HUGE pooh bears tat are simply to heavy for the grabing arms. Or some electronic games where u press the button at the appropriate time n u will hit higher n higher to get the ultimate prize which can be a psp or a nokia phone. It seems easy but i find them quite a cheater. They simply makes its impossible to get the prize. I feel the computer is prgrammed to give away the prize after about a certain number or use. E.g. maybe there must be at least 20000 clicks then they will increase the chance to get the prize. So u must be the very very lucky one to be there at tat time. lol.

So back to the arcade, there was this machine that u have a scoop that when u press the button, the scoop will go down n scoop up some sweets. u bring the sweets up n dwon it at ur "pusher". With sufficient sweets, the pusher will push some sweets of the ledge n drop into a hole where u can pick them up. The objective is to drop the sweets on a switch that will start the jackpot. If u hit the jackpot u will get the prize. Like the cushion or soft toy. Sigh... To cut the story short, the two of them actually spent a total of 60 bucks to get the prize... 60 BUCKS!!!!

Just look at them playing the game...



The prize in my arm. hehehe I was at the best of mood tat time. Was pretty mad they actually spent so much on it...



Turns out that the cushion got vibration function one.

That sums up the day down there. I think i m not going to bring those two down to acrade to play those games anymore!!! *but play will still pull them down if i wanna play those fighting games. lol*
