Transformers: More than meets the eye.

HAYY FRESHIES.

This will be my first non-work related entry in which I'm actually not nagging at anyone to hand in anything! (But pls do register or face the possibility of over/undersized tshirts!)

Anyway this is a FRENI related post from your friendly Freni senior Lizzy! Fwooooot!

Me and the orientation machine (Mr Tay LIDE) were editing in school today, and Lide REALLY REALLY like REALLY REALLY wanted to get that $27.90 Sideswipe Transformers toy that he's been raving for since like, weeks ago.

So we made a detour to Jurong Point (freshies you will unwillingly and unwittingly become very familiar with that place after a while) after the lab closed to go to Comics Connection, where, *drumroll*... Sideswipe was SOLD OUT.

So we walked into Kiddy Palace. (Quote Lide: I can't believe I'm walking into Kiddy Palace).
Full shelf-full of Transformer toys... but no Sideswipe!

(But he really, really, like really really wanted it.)

So guess where we ended up.
City Hall. And to Robinson. Again, no Sideswipe.

So we walked to Suntec City, hopeful that Toys'r'us (since it's Toys'r'us) would definitely have the precious loot... However. EVEN TOYS'R'US DIDN'T. (They did have the $219.90 Bumbleebee and $109.90 Optimus Prime that I drooled over though, hinthint.)

Last choice.

We walked into Carrefour.... (Lizzy muttering at this point in time that if here don't have then NO HOPE LIAO.)

AND.
There were almost no visible Sideswipes in sight.

Then Lide did the most uncle thing I have ever seen him do. And I've seen him do MANY uncle things in this lifetime:

He put down his backpack, went down on his knees, and started rumaging through the hidden bottom stack of Transformer toys for Sideswipes.

(You see Sideswipe in the bottom right because we placed him there after we finally re-packed everything neatly.)

We ended up with this:

(Lide looking darn pleased with himself after unearthing so many Sideswipes. 9 to be exact.)

We then spent the next 5 minutes comparing them to see which had the best paint job.

Then, Frenis, your GL, decided to be really GL (if you know what I mean). And started replacing every rack's toy with our newly discovered Sideswipes. (Which I still can't believe they intentionally hid away!)

Mission complete. Sideswipes for everyone! Yay! :)

So if you're a Transformers fan, go get your sexy Sideswipe before it runs out everywhere.
If not, just know that Lide will stop at nothing to get his heart's desire. (HAHA)

LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING ALL YOU FRENIS YOHHHH. :D
(and like, all the other freshies too, of course, la.)

More Freni adventures to come! (I mean, honestly, all the Freni seniors are quite uncle or aunty. Lide is uncle. Me, Tze, Shihui and Walter are aunty. But we love you with all our uncle/aunty hearts!)

P.S. I forgot to mention that Pedro is the biggest aunty in CS. If you need an umbrella, or tissue paper, or wet wipes, or hand sanitizer, he chop chop confirm will have one.
