A fab weekend

Had a fabulous time over the last weekend!

FRIDAY

Met up with Vic and colleagues at The Pump Room last friday and ’shaked’ a bit (btw, the live band rockz!)

We also managed to surprise CY with a yummy birthday cake (which was a Strawberry Cheese cake from Paisley & Cream).

Earlier on during the day, she kept interrupting our ‘secret conversations‘ (when we were whispering to one and other abt the cake) - asking us what we were talking about. We were very fast to react by acting blur or divert the conversation to something else…(e.g. we made TL a scapegoat by suaning him abt his beau… Heehee… sorry dude!).

I think most of us had a great time relaxing after a long tiring week of work.

SATURDAY

- Did the Karen Cheng’s pose @ The Forbidden City.

- Had a superlong rest (slept for 12 hrs)

SUNDAY

- ‘Nua‘ at home

- Done some housework.

Doing the Karen Cheng @ The Forbidden City

Joined Karen Cheng at her private function “Doing the Karen Cheng” yesterday afternoon. The event was held at The Forbidden City Clarke Quay and it’s main aim was to do some fundraising for the Red Cross Singapore ! Not only we had fun, we have also done some good deed by donating $$$ for good cause!

And guess what? I even met Kingsley there with S!! He was anxiously waiting outside The Forbidden City to take a snapshot with Karen! Cool!

Dinner with friends at Pasta de Waraku

Alan and I did some catching up with Helen and Min last wednesday at Marina Square. Had a fun time just makaning and chatting… Helen and min suggested going Pasta de Waraku.

My expectation was not very high before the dinner.

I was thinking “huh…pasta? gonna be boring…”, but then, we quickly decided to give it a try since we have never tried the food there before. 

And well… the service and quality of food changed my opinion! It was surprisingly good and I love the food!

 

 

Omg… this is going to be added into my favourite restaurants list.

Must try the scallop mushroom pasta in soup! Oishi!

Fancy doing the Karen Cheng pose with Karen Cheng?

One of my favourite bloggers - Karen Cheng will be in town!

I have been an avid fan of her blog for quite sometime and how I wish I could blog like her! She’s so honest and funny in her writing, and she takes great pictures!

Anyway, she’s gonna do something worthwhile during her vacation in Singapore. She would be helping to raise funds for needy people through the Singapore Red Cross by “Doing The Karen Cheng pose” in front of a large mirror with her Singapore fans/readers on 5th July, 4 pm.

Join the  Doing The Karen Cheng Facebook Group craziness with me!

Father Day’s Celebration

I really hate crowds and overpriced food on special occasions like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. On these special occasions, you not only have to wait a longer time for your highly-priced food to arrive but also to expect these food not be cooked very well (due to chef/cook rushing to churn out as many dishes as possible to satisfy the demand). 

So, I told my dad to wait for another week (haha…he didn’t mind lar…)

Last night brought my dad and mum for an international buffet dinner at CafeBiz at Trader’s Hotel last night to celebrate Father’s Day! The place looks quite posh and nice ambient.

The spread was pretty good  - especially their desserts (I’m still thinking abt their chocolate fondue and durian puffs!). They also serves Brazilian Churrasco (ham, chicken wings, steaks, prawns, sausages, pineapple etc…) from table to table, which is quite interesting. The seafood were quite fresh too.

Overall, we enjoyed the food and most importantly, I think my dad, who is usually quite picky abt his food, really like the food too…

DBS credit card is now having a promo now - 1 dines for free with every 2 paying adult diners!  

 

Say “Mogo Mogo…”

One of my very dear colleagues back in office would be leaving Nexus for a better career prospect elsewhere. Although, I have only worked with him for a very short period of time, I really appreciate him being so ever helpful, kind and funny. 

It’s not easy to get him an unique farewell gift as he is the ‘gadgety’ type. But thanks to CY, we have found this cool “Mogo” laptop mouse for him. Hope he likes it.

This light-weighted unique mouse is actually a combined wireless multimedia remote and mouse that stores and charges inside your laptop’s ExpressCard/54 slot. No need to install driver - it has an embedded Bluetooth technology that can connect itself to the laptop and you would be able to control iTunes, YouTube, Windows Media Player and other media from 30 feet away.

Cool!

Life at Telok Blangah Hill

Our weekly “Life Day” is on every Thursday. I usually couldn’t join my colleagues for their weekly “Got will, no skills” running routine around Telok Blangah Hill until today as I usually have to pick up Alan after work. Alan was on night shift today, hence, I took the opportunity to join them for a run/walk.

There were 2 groups - the running group and the walking group. I thought that since I’ll be running the marathon, I better start a more intensive training by joining the running group… but haiz… even before my face turned red, I started getting giddy and felt like puking .

And well, i stopped and threw up half of my lunch :(  and joined the walking group thereafter. Haiz… I better up the frequency of my training man to avoid fainting during my 6 km run…

Although I didn’t get to run, the trip was not wasted.

It’s really refreshing to take a walk amidst the nature and strolled part of the southern ridges, through the two new pedestrian bridges namely the Henderson Waves and Alexandra Arch.

We also walked through the HortPark, which is the Southeast Asia’s first one-stop gardening and lifestyle hub. It is a truely beautiful park with different types of pretty blooming flowers!

Kudos to Nparks!

 

You don’t mess with…

…Zohan!!

Saw this latest movie trailer starring Adam Sandler (the comedian of the century!) as an Israeli commando turning into a hairstylist in New York!

Darn Funnie! Looking forward to catch this movie when it’s out…

Oh ya… and it even inspired a “Zohan’s Super Spa” shockwave game!

It has been a long time since I last played simple silly games without any brain-wrecking strategy thinking involves… haha… enjoy!

Yeah… finally complete my MSc!

Alan called me yesterday at the office to inform me that our exam results are out!

I was so happy that both of us have passed and the grades were similar to what we have expected.

Now, we are looking forward to attending the Convocation in 26 July!

To celebrate, Alan promised to take me for shopping spree and makaning in Hong Kong! 

That’s one more thing to look forward too…
