Mrupupup went to the Oktoberfest at Clarke Quay Singapore.  Oktoberfest is a famous German tradition of having beer and sausages. The evening at Oktoberfest was fun with Erdinger Beer and Mrupupup's favourite hotdog with grilled beef sausage (done by Shiraz restaurant). Mrupupup also had a pork belly which came with a very crispy layer done so well by Vinky restaurant (oumph! Very nice!). Oktoberfest held by sponsors Open Rice, Capitalmalls and restaurants in Clarke Quay was fun. Mrupupup went round to the game counters and played many games. There was also a music concert and Bavarian Bar Maids. The Oktoberfest is from 12 - 13 October 2012.

Mrupupup attended Lil Papa's Wieners Beerstro tasting session. Very good experience! Lil Papa's Wieners sells hotdogs and special beers & ciders. The place is located at Blk 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-108 (near Tanjong Pagar MRT). Really great fun attending this tasting session. Mrupupup got to try the special  gourmet hotdogs known as wieners which come in non-spicy, mild spicy (with mild mustard, beef and tomatoes) and very spicy flavours (meaning with sambal chili - spicy!). Hotdogs vary in price from between $7-$10. All very nice! Mrupupup had one Lil Papa's Fav Wiener (non-spicy) which comes with pork sausage, home style baked beans on top with onions and curry powder. Delicious hotdog and one is enough to make you full! The tasting group tried out the hotdogs with pairings of special beers, ale and cider. Mrupupup was excited to drink Cherry Coke too as a starter! Cherry Coke is not commonly found in Singapore. Our tasting group also heard from the owner:  differen

So exciting. Mrupupup's photo was exhibited at the Chan Hampe Galleries located at Singapore's historic Raffles Hotel #01-20, North Bridge Road. My photograph is part of the SIM University's Learning Festival -  top 25 selected photographs on the theme 'leadership'.  Mrupupup just felt a sense of achievement and satisfaction of having my photograph exhibited in a nice gallery and in the grand Raffles Hotel. Well, Chan Hampe Galleries will hold the 'SIM Snapshot on Leadership' exhibition till 13 October 2012. Truly felt great that Mrupupup's photography skills could compete against the more established photographers in Singapore. Very nice!

Mrupupup went to see the Kinectic Rain structure in Changi Airport Terminal 1,which is near to the airlines check in counter. The Kinectic Rain is really fascinating and Mrupupup wonders how the raindrops can move in tandem. So beautiful and nice. You can also check out the 3-D art installation at Changi Airport Terminal 3. Very interesting visual perspective. Well, Singapore's Changi Airport is a great hang out place. Check out the pictures and one video. Video of Kinectic Rain

The Perks of being a Wallflower is a very new movie. Mrupupup went to the preview of this movie at Shaw Cinema. This movie had a beautiful story line. Loved the acting by the stars and enjoyed the joy, sadness and vulnerability displayed in their acting. The story was set in the US about boy named Charlie who found friends like himself, a misfit in school. Charlie found a boy and a girl and they hang out together in their high school years till they graduate. The story tells us of the innocence in the teenage years, friendship and feelings of being "We are Infinite" when they were young. A beautiful story and Mrupupup enjoyed the movie. Loved the scene whereby Charlie and Sam would travel in the tunnel and stretch out their hands to reach the sky as their truck they were in sped pass along the highway. Thanks Shaw Cinema for the preview. Catch the movie from 11 October 2012. "You see things you understand. You're a Wallflower." "And in that moment, I swe

7 Eleven is Mrupupup's happy partner when one needs their favourite items like snacks and drinks. Well, Mrupupup went to the nearby store to stock up on Straits Times (need to read up on the latest social media news from old media!), 8 Days magazine (catch up on TV stars gossip) and Snickers ('peanut butter' flavour- to give energy to read so many articles!). Just fun to visit the 7 Eleven store. Check out the pictures of things Mrupupup bought and leading brands in 7 Eleven (even got Halloween stuff). Pretty good - got promotion $3 for two 'peanut butter' snickers bar plus newspapers and 8 Days- all set for a brand new day. Just dreaming that I can visit Japan - the land where convenience stores are abundant including the 7 Eleven store and Mrupupup just wants to walk in and purchase from a 'Japanese' 7 Eleven store in Tokyo! Oh, so dreaming.... Thanks 7 Eleven - hope my dreams will come true.

Mrupupup spotted a couple having their wedding shots taken in front of the Peranakan Museum Singapore along Hill Street. The wedding couple seems so happy and spontaneous!
