(now reported in straitstimes singapore, with tessa’s channel i clip)

##
Flash Mob SG #1.5
Start time: Saturday, August 16th, 2:15pm
Duration: 2 minutes or less

INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) At some point in the morning on August 16th, synchronize your
watch to http://www.singaporestandardtime.org.sg. This is important,
we need the accuracy.

(2) By 1:30 PM, based on the month of your birth, please situate
yourselves around the places below. Get a drink, have lunch, check
out the guys/chicks, read a book, act casual. Oh, if you are
attending with friends, you may all meet at the same place so long
as at least one of you has the correct birth month for that spot.

Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr: Coffee Club Express (cafe in Kinokuniya, outdoor
seating), Ngee Ann City

May, Jun, Jul, Aug: Subway (seats closest to the Japanese
restaurant),
Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade

Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec: Burger King (seats closest to the Orange Julius
stand),
Liat Towers

(3) Then or soon thereafter, a representative will appear to pass
around further instructions. Calmly approach him/her and get your
set of instructions. The instructions will specify the mob site, the
start time, and the exact duration. The instructions will give you
what you need and then some.

(4) In particular, the instructions will tell you when to disperse.
Make sure that two minutes after the specified time, you are no
longer at the mob site.

(5) Return to what you otherwise would have been doing, and
gleefully wait for instructions for Mob #2.

NOTE:

If you are curious as to what the flash mob phenomenon is all about,
http://www.cheesebikini.com will tell you all about it and provide
some good reference sites. This is a highly peaceful, non-commercial
project designed purely for mindless fun. Hey, all work and play
makes… yadda yadda yadda. And you’ve heard and read about how it’s
started/happened and is spreading worldwide so it’s high time we saw
the action here. Just a friendly note, it’s not been stressed enough
that the project is not designed to harm anyone or cause nuisance to
others. Please follow the instructions carefully and oh… behave.

Meanwhile, stay chirpy and sane…

arrived at burger king and waited anxiously among a few participants while pesky reporters were snooping around with their notebook and camera crew. the representative arrived “soon after”, in the form of a pretty lady in white with sheets of instruction for the mob activity:

mob #1.5: roller coaster! ohh woo hoo!

duration: 3 minutes (gather at 2:10; disperse at 2:13 or so)
the site: escalator to popular bookstore, next to the ticketing
counter (orchard mrt underpass)

by 2:08, situate yourself around the underpass
at 2:10, walk towards and get to the escalator heading to popular
bookstore. you’re nervous, busting with anticipation..jittery.. quiet. take
the escalator down. you’re on a joy-oh-joy roller coaster ride, all excited
and having loads of fun. as you’re going down, throw your arms in the air
and go “wheeeeeeeeeee!”. as you near the bottom, you can’t wait to go
on it again.
repeat twice. (that makes 3 in total)

when you’re done with your rides, disperse in random fashion. exit
through wisma, on to orchard boulevard, to ochard road. anything. no
one should remain in the area after 2:15.
