Twestival Singapore 2011
Twestival, also known as Twitter Festival, employs the use of social media to organize fun events for a charitable cause. Many countries worldwide organize their own Twestivals, and the one I attended today is Twestival Singapore 2011! It was held at TAB Singapore and they are going to donate 10% of all their profits tonight to the selected beneficiary, Children-At-Risk Empowerment Association (CARE).


Door gifts received upon registration. And we bumped into some of the guys from hackerspace.sg from yesterday! Haha. Well, the sticker is actually for writing our Twitter ID. I don't even have my own Twitter account (which makes it ironic why I'm attending this event) so yeah, I'm writing my own name. I looooooooove my name. (:


Good thing we came early enough. All the booth seats and some of the other larger tables were reserved. Basically, the night alternated between performances by local bands and lucky draw announcements. Anyone who donated above S$50 was automatically qualified for the lucky draw, and they certainly gave away a lot of prizes.

There were hilarious moments too. Like, it was a Caucasian guy won pole dancing lessons. He has a good sense of humour too, for he danced suggestively while watching up to collect his prize. Hahaha! And then there was the grand prize, a weekend drive in a MINI Cooper Countryman. I think the host had to call out more than 10 names before the winner was selected. Because the winner has to be above 25 years old and owns a driving license.




Twitter bird is giving out the prizes! (: This pair of brothers both won prizes so the host is making them do a dance. Lol. Some simple, random dance moves put together.


Buffalo wings and homemade fries. The fries are super crispy and goes excellently with the Thai chili.

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
