Mission "Proposal"

1035 Met up with Cubey for "Harry Potter". Mission begins!

1500 After lunch, headed to Mind Cafe at Boat Quay to fulfill part 2 of mission - distract Cubey with boardgames till 6pm.

1800  Mission part 2 completed.  Now commencing 'lure Cubey to Pan Pacific with excuse of fake foreign client who wants me to go over to his hotel to collect his form, which I have to witness personally'.

1830  Reached Pan Pacific hotel. Met with co-conspirator in the Concierge.  Told Cubey that we tried calling my client's room but nobody answered.  We were to go to his room.

1845  Approaching room while Cubey kept on going, "I do not want to enter a crime scene. I do not want to call 999."

1849  Door opens and Cubey is pushed in.  Mission "Proposal" successfully accomplished!

Check out the bliinnnnnngggg. Someone, please pass me a pair of sunnies.

Bling Shoes!

I love my new pair of shoes from Pazzion! They look super high but they're not considering the platform.   Love love love!! So cute...so bling and the best part is that Pazzion will replace each crystal if I drop them! For free!! Unless it's more than 5...but so far, they're all intact.

I was quite amused when I wore them to my student's place and her mum went, "How can you walk in those shoes?" LOL.

Pretty right? It comes in black as well but the while rocks! :) Yay...me love shoes...hehehe

Beautiful Typography Video on 'Home'

Just watch this till the very end.  Whoever said that Singaporeans aren't creative need to watch this.  I love the ending.  Super!  Now...maybe I should talk to my boss about hiring this guy to do our vids...hmm....

Restaurant Review - Vineyard @ Hort Park

I went to the Vineyard restaurant located at Hort Park for a site visit and this is the main entrance...

I love the open deck space with the deck chairs.  There are ball lights next to the water, which will be lit at night.  I can almost imagine lounging there with a bottle of wine and just chillaxing with friends.

You're greeted with shelves filled with bottles of wine as you walk in and it opens to a nice cosy area that's a cross between rustic and industrial.  Rustic thanks to the wood ceiling, floor and unfinished 'planks' for their huge tables accompanied by cowhide floor rugs and velvet chairs.  Industrial from the metal legs of the tables and chairs.

Sorry...I only took a pic of the Insalata Caprese as I sent it to my bro to make him jealous! Hahaha...

It was excellente! So were the spring rolls with the yummy tamarind sauce and their Vineyard salad was interesting.  However, I'm not a mustard person so I wasn't a happy chomper on that.

There were 3 of us so we shared the following mains: Wagyu ribeye, snapper fillet with a lemon caper sauce and smoked chicken fettuccine.  The ribeye was soooo tender that you don't need a steak knife to cut through it.  Now, THAT's what I call a steak!  The snapper was really good too! The skin was crispy and the meat wasn't overcooked.  It had squash in the middle of the fillets and it was so unbelievably buttery.  After eating those 2 dishes, the fettuccine was sadly blase.  Not that it didn't taste good...but it didn't wow the tastebuds.

For dessert, we shared a single sticky date pudding with vanilla ice cream because we were so full.  I LOVE it.  The sticky date pudding wasn't too sweet and it was nice and soft.  The vanilla ice cream tasted so wholesome and natural too.  Mmm....yums!

No...I'm not getting anything from advertising them...haha...but I really like the ambience of the place.  Do note that Vineyard opens from 12 noon to 3pm for lunch and opens again at 6pm for dinner.  Hort Park's gates close at 11pm so you'll be shooed off by 10.30pm. Go try!

Am so in Love with Quest Crew!

Are some of these people human? It's as if they don't have bones!! Oh my...the part where he does the backflip while sitting down..and when one of them flipped over 2 people while 1 of them pushed him.  AMAZING.  You guys just HAVE to love Quest Crew. Oh..amd Hok's British accent is waaay sexy.  You've just got to go to Youtube and search for that 1st episode. ;)

July - The Month of Birthdays

I'm sooo going to go broke this month! Last Sat, we celebrated Chow's birthday...

Then it was off to celebrate Missy Jean's birthday on Friday night at KPO! The drinks were just the way I like them...STRONG!

It started with me and Leopard taking a shot in front of KPO with the fancy schmancy cars (think Porsches and Ferraris)while we were still sober and not falling off our heels.

I fear this bloated face thing is starting to catch on...

Then it's with the whole gang! Well...half actually...

Us playing with Leopard's "mee sua"

Leopard brought her MJ gloves that night to paarrrty! She was on a roll...she had it all planned! Zouk was next on her list with her other pawpals.

I celebrated my best mate, Sing's bday last Sat as well but for some reason, all of us were so caught up with talking and eating that we never took any photos!! Amazing.  I went to her house after dinner for a movie and stayed till 3am in the morning.  No points for guessing how zombified I felt on Sunday.  Haha...ah well...I'm going to be broke this month man...3 birthdays and a wedding to go.  I know that Qing's ROM is also coming up but I'm going to give it a miss and will attend the traditional ceremony meant for family!

I went to a colleague's housewarming party on Sat as well so...my wallet is definitely feeling the pinch.  Now...have to scrimp and save.  Maybe this is a good time to start dieting.  :P
