To all you ice cream fans out there...Ben and Jerry's is a brand name that i'm sure u have heard of. (shame of you if u havent!) Coupled with good service and awesome tasting ice creams, Ben and Jerry's have an ever growing world wide fan base.
Heres a lil back ground information on Ben and Jerry's!
- Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., was founded in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by childhood friends and dedicated hippies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield.
- The two friends started their ice cream careers with a $5 ice cream making correspondence course from Penn State University and a $12,000 investment ($4,000 of which was borrowed).
- Became popular in the local community for their innovative flavours, made from fresh Vermont milk and cream and large portions of whatever ingredients they felt tasted good on the day of making.
- Ben & Jerry's ice cream has been available in pints and minicups since 1999. Its first Scoop Shop in Singapore opened on November 28th, 2004. This outlet is located at the Singapore Zoo and is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The grand opening of this shop was marked with the traditional US shop openi
ng practice of giving out free cones.Since then, we have opened nine more shops, the most recent being the outlet at Jurong Birdpark, which opened in the first week of August.
A few moths back they held a "Do us a Flavour Contest" for worldwide fans and 40,000 fans particiapted.
the finalists are out! they are...
Robin Thorneycroft, 25, of Richmond, B.C., who suggested a flavor she calls Italian Renaissance, made of amaretto liqueur ice cream, cherry chunks and sliced almonds.
Timothy Link, 36, of Troy, Idaho, whose suggestion was Mojito, a lime-based sherbet with mint, brown sugar and rum added in.
Kerstin Karlhuber, 25, of Boston, whose Wackie Chan would be sweet cream and ginger-flavored ice cream, with chocolate-covered fortune cookie bits and fudge swirl.
Tasha Callister, 26, of Jackson, Fla., whose Puttin' on a Ritz would consist of vanilla ice cream, caramel and Ritz crackers.
Reina Chilton, 26, of Tempe, Ariz., who recommended "ApricotAbra," a mix of apricot chunks, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream and tart apricot preserves.
I certainly dont know who would win, however, i believe that Italian Renaissance and Mojito would do justice to the tastebuds with their dash of alcohol to awaken ur senses...YUM! GO BEN AND JERRYS!

While cycling just now, i saw this old malay man, cycling with 1 leg...his other leg was erm...something happened to it. i sooo wanted to salute him. RESPECT. He actually proved the point <>. so what if i had a million dollar bike? So what if i had the best and most breathable attire? (Not that i have 'em ;p) If there wasnt the will the ride, nothing could be accomplished. Similarly, so what if i had the brains to do my hw, had tutors for all subs, if i didnt work hard enough, nothing would come out of it....On another note,was watching SINGAPORE IDOL. What makes an idol? I believe, its a person who can set a good example for the masses. A GD ROLE MODEL. Shouldnt Jonathan Leong be THE idol? He has the voice, he has the blah blah...though he isnt as versatile as HADY.
THINK BOUT IT...
Now i dont wanna start a war on qualifications and abilities...so u guys go ahead and decipher what i am thinking about kz?
However, what is to become of a SINGAPORE idol? wouldnt he/she end up appearing in a lil more interviews, some corny 7-11 ad, holding a cup. SINGAPORE IDOL in Singapore has to be more than that! those miserable contracts wont bring anyone anywhere. Contestants are risking their rice bowls, to end up cutting ONE ALBUM and a few corny ads? Look at AMI. ie, Clay, Taylor, Carrie. these artises ahve since progressed! going platinum and all!
The producers of SGI better think harder on what to do with the idols esp after the hyp is all gone...

ahh...its been a year...almost 2 actually, since I have visited my own diary...and so much has happened over the months. after my last post, i though to myself...why blog? what a waste of time. well, now i know why i blog. to keep the memories and perhaps, share em with someone out there.
read through all the posts...thought of myself typing out those entries at that time, thought of the happy and sad times and thats when i began to tresure these memories, no matter good or bad, they are all part of my life; part of the picture that makes me, me. for that one year that has been lost...oh well...haha guess, i would simply start anew!
k..i have no time to change the skin and stuff since i have an upcoming project and am having my prelims now. but, i will try to give this blog a sprucing up ya? anyways, my chem paper 3 has been dealt with...and later...it would be math p1...so...i hope for the best! off to slp now! nitez!
