Starbucks Card Launch @ The Curve

It's 11.11.11! And two blog posts because my day seems to have turned out to be a very happening day!

After replacement class which ends at 4.30pm, Joanne, Sze Lynn and I decided to head over to The Curve's Starbucks for the launch of Starbucks card - and at the same time to line up for the first 100 to get the card. And so we went, stuck in traffic jam but managed to get there by 5.15pm by using the inside roads to skip the heavy traffic along LDP.
That's what we did after having to stand in line for one hour - camwhore with the HTC ChaCha - simply because we had nothing better to do. :P

A very long line with soooo many people, but yeah, we managed to be in the top 100 - #80 ++++

They even had the Shiny Green Man out for a pose and publicity. It takes a lot of determination and concentration to stand as still as they did. I couldn't even be still for 5 minutes long!

Once we've gotten the cards, we went over for a photo shot where the winner will stand a chance to win some Starbucks merchandise and RM500 card preload. We did not even get into the top 7 even with our pre-planning while standing in line and the super awesome pose we did.
Yup, we had FOUR scenes to our plan. It's how we planned to pose for the picture. Haha! We were so free that we've decided to do stuff like that! roflmao

After all that card and picture hassle, we were served with food. It was like a mad house in there. Like when you see a clothing store with 90% sale store wide (if that ever happens), what's more: this is free food!

Being a Malaysian, we did this:
We took food portion to fill four people's stomach, but we ended up suffering through it. Good food though. Met Simon there too! :)

My Starbucks card with RM20 preloaded :)

So, the card is now available for sale with RM20 payment for the reload and card. As I know, they have the Christmas edition card which looks way better than the green one that I've gotten (but I don't think the green one is ugly. It looks nice to righttt?). 

An eventful day. First time standing in line for such a deal and it happened on 11.11.11 :)

How did your day go?
