Republic of Singapore Yacht Club

Beautiful place to chill out for dinner.

How not to when caressed by the swaying breeze with the horizon painted in golden dusk hues? 

Doreen & Jasper's Ding Dong Day

Venue: F1 Pit Building

First time I've been to a wedding reception and dinner at the Pit. Liked the reception area as it looked rather cool. If there weren't so many people around, I would have camwhore a bit more! The setup simply unleashes the narcissist in me.

Dar wouldn't let me take him, so this is the best I can get. Seriously I'm quite scared of him (xiao nu ren I guess!) but, he wouldn't know even if I posted a pic of him! 

Wedding favors have gotten more creative these days

Day 5 of leave - Last Day!

Wednesday 20 Jan 2010

Planned to do lotsa things but ended up doing none at all! Time comes to a standstill when one is on leave and not competing with the time makes one retarded to a certain extent!

By the way I watched a really boring movie today - The Spy Next Door starring Jackie Chan. It's really slapstick boring. No plot, no humor, not much action. Go watch if you don't trust me.

Thursday 21 Jan 2010

So I am techinically not on leave today, just not yet started at the new place. Have planned to pack my day and (finally) make it fruiful and I'm gonna sign off to do so. See you around in a bit!

Ps. Was planning to go Bangkok during the CNY holidays but to my very great disappointment!! Tickets are sold out and there are only the really expensive ones left!!!

ANYONE CARE TO DO SOME CHARITY?  

Day 3 of leave

Monday 18 Jan 2010

Went KTV with a newly introduced friend - there were 3 of us altogether. Not trying to promote for Kbox for we only paid $10 nett each! Complete with 2 snacks and a standard drink each. This offer is valid on Monday nights. I'm contemplating going back next Monday!

Day 4 of leave

Tuesday 19 Jan 2010

Took a quick spin around the shopping mall nearby and ended up with a pair of heels for my new workplace. Tested them out yesterday and oh boy, do they kill! Not in the to-die-for kind, but the blister-inducing manner.

Wonder if any of you have the same woes as me when it comes to buying covered shoes? Often the fit is too loose and your heels keep slipping out as you walk; then when it fits well - much too well, I have to spend a bomb on gel cushions to reduce the pain and injury. I can be a brand ambassador for Scholl & Kiwi for their range of gel products already!

Day 2 of leave - big feasting @home

Friday 15 Jan 2010

Today's a big day as I've invited friends over to my place for a big feasting......disposables check, trash bags check, ice for dispenser check...

I got so carried away playing Monopoly Deal, eating and chatting away that I totally drop my camera after the first few pictures

 

Invited my Macaroni Cheese out to her virgin offering, and Dar mom's renowned Kong Bat Bao

Day 1 of leave
