Birthdays & More Birthday + Voices Of Amazon

A workaholic, shopaholic and alcoholic walked in a bar.
I was the only one there.

SORRY FOR THE SUPER LACK OF UPDATES!!!!!!!!!!

I have been busy with work & work &... work.
& even when I'm on my off day, I'm not home.
I only am updating with the little time I can squeeze!
Here goes!
28 July 2017: Voices of Amazon

I got a pair of complimentary tickets to the show from Andrew (thanks Dido! ♥) so I watched the production with Jake.
I was afraid we couldn't make it because I was working till the evening but thank God we managed to enter the theatre just I think 1 or 2 minutes before house close!

When the show starts & the main singer sang, there wasn't any audio coming out from the speakers, which was weird.
She was mouthing but nothing came out, till one part she had to project her voice real loud & I would say the acoustics of the theatre isn't very good, but the audience could still hear her raw voice.
When the first scene ended, the house curtain came down followed by an announcement, informing us there was a technical difficulty & they are solving it immediately.
Damnnnnnn I bet the sound operator was cursing himself & the crew, stage manager were all panicking.
Can't help it that I thought of the technical theatrical elements when I'm watching a show 😁
(Pardon the quality of the pics sigh)

Once again, thanks Drew!



I look shag because my hair was wet from work oops.


The story is about 2 sisters who were very close, until one of them died from a mysterious illness.
The other sister went on a journey to a distant tribe to find the witch doctor (I think) who can bring her sister back to life.
So on her journey she met with a man who was in the tribe & then 'a bond sparked'.
However, among the tribe there is a brother of the man who obviously do not approve of accepting the woman into the tribe. Either that, or not agreeing to help her because she is not one of them.
My boyfriend's theory is that he is jealous of his brother that he manage to capture her heart instead of him.
The tribe set sail to find the ingredients & the brother poisoned his ingredient, so when the sister drank it, she sort of died (but revived in the end).
All in all, the man forgave his brother, the dead sister came back to life.

I like the costumes & the music! I rate it 8/10 because of the acrobats involved. 👍
29 July 2017: Ash's birthday party

It was a surprise party for Ashley, she didn't know her close friends were invited to celebrate her birthday with her!
She was blindfolded & guided into the hotel room in Capella Singapore at Sentosa.
When the blindfold was removed, my tears welled up as we sang Happy Birthday (I don't know why).
Soooooo happy to see her!!! Catching up with one another & taking photos like how we always take.
I miss working with you, Ash :(





Knowing her is a plus in my life, because I click with her so well & we can laugh & talk nonsense.
My favourite part about her? She enunciate vulgarities so well (actually got many more but I miss her swearing LOL).
Let's meet up for cafe hopping again Ash!!!!!!!
30 July 2017: Boyfriend's wild birthday

The day my dear boyfriend turned a year older!!!
Since he told me he have never been to the zoo before, well, a perfect place to celebrate then!
Actually I wanted to blindfold him but I know people be judging hahaha.
It was raining when we were reaching the zoo, & I got really angry & sulky.
Like, WHY OF ALL DAYS!!!??!?!
But the sky cleared after a short while hehehhe.
I wanted to go early in the morning because we can slowly enjoy every exhibits in the zoo but as expected he woke up late 😑.
I didn't take a lot of photos because I was spending more time with him & appreciating the animals.



Before this shot was taken, the lion was humping the lioness, but the lioness was like, 'meh'.
Then we entered the indoor viewing gallery & there was another lioness a distance away from the duo. When the lion start to hump his lioness again, this (lonely) lioness got up & stare at the duo's direction.
Talk about jealousy hahahah.







I touched the snake, Ma!!! It isn't scaly or slimy but smooth!
The Angmor whole body shook when he turned around and saw that huge ass snake HAHA



It was a well-spent day at the zoo!
Moving on, I brought him to a place for good food!
He insist not to spend so much money on him... Initially I wanted to bring him to KBBQ but it is so far away, but then I got a better idea... 😃
I bluffed him that I'm cooking maggi mee for him with egg, & he's reaction was like 'huh' for a split second before he said 'yeahh can also as long as you cook for me'
Then he said he want 3 packets of Mee Goreng with 3 eggs. But of course I'm not cooking him maggi mee for his birthday because I can cook for him any day right?
So I brought him to.....
 
Marsiling Blk 19!!!
Marsiling Blk 19's coffee shop has like famous & delicious stalls.
I treated him to Bak Kut Teh, & is the herbal kind - which he prefer!


Both of us ate it all clean! 😁
To end his birthday, a birthday cake so he can blow his dreams come true ^-^
19 July 2017: Kate Spade Themed Birthday

One of my friend in my poly clique turned 21 last month & she held her 21st party at The Warehouse Hotel.
Never heard of it before, but the interior of the hotel is damn chill & relaxing!
It's not very bright in your face but somewhere you could do your work there.
Lucky the way to reach the hotel is not difficult; bus stop is opposite the hotel.


So darling 💮
& then me being playful...

Imma protect you from fuckboys honey
Oops exposed where the lighting came from
The dress code is white for girls, & black for boys, which explains the our outfits hehe.


Good to catch up with you girls 💥
After I left the party, my boyfriend & I went for a Singapore Night Festival date but apparently we didn't manage to see many of the shows or installations.
Hence, we did not spend a long time around the area that covers SNF. :(
I have been busy with work, work & work.. I can't help that I like to see my calendar filled with something; I like to stay occupied!
Today is my own 'rest day' where I can spend some time with myself, although I had work in the morning till early afternoon.
My only day which I have nothing is like, next Tuesday.
But then, I ain't complaining!! I love my work & I have 2 upcoming shoot collabs coming up & I'm extremely stoked! 😊

So Many Happenings, So Little Time

I'm really late in posting my activities like, it's already April.
Many events took place in March! So occupied & I'm loving it!

11 March 2017: iLight Marina Bay: Don't Bother

Ong & I went on a double date (first time in my life I did that).
iLight was the hype in March with all the articles popping up, & Twitter photos circulating around, so we decided to go check whether is it really all it seems online.
The installations stretches from Marina Bay Floating Platform to... Marina Bay Sands I think hahaha I just know it was a long distance.
The boys did get along (well by the looks of it) and like, the guys do their things & we girls do our thing.


There were amusement park there too but we didn't play any before we know it's out there to con people.
Anyway, iLight is a good event to go with your S.O. but I'll only go once. If next year there's gonna be iLight again, I'll consider going if they have new installations.

 18 March 2017: Our Monthly Chips Appointment

Finally, MY CLIQUE WE WENT BACK TO CHIPS FOR OUR DRINKING NIGHT.
We missed January & February, probably because in Jan we drank so much from NYE & in Feb we bust our money in the Korean restaurant.
This time we're missing Yuwen :( Damn, when she comes back in July, we're going as full squad I don't care.
I missed their Patio Rolls SOOOO BAD! It's damn tasty even though it's a snack.
We ordered 2 towers & wanted to call for a dozen of shots but when we're finishing our 2nd tower, Cong is already almost gone.
Okay not almost gone but he's already hazy, & I'M NOT!
Surprising leh. Each of our drunken state is very different.
But some details shall be kept private 😉

What's up with JX lah
Seriously bro
Cong is giving a BJ to a ghost & I'm drifting off
When's our April one guys?
22 March 2017: Why Do We Eat So Much?

Finally I met up with Partner!!!!!!  đŸ’™
Our original plan was to have dinner at Fat Papas, a Halal version of Fat Boys (my FAVOURITE burger joint!!!!!! I need to go stuff some Fat Boys down my throat)
I wanted to make a reservation but apparently they don't have a number? So when we reached there, the queue was long & we didn't wanna wait.
We jumped from Fat Papas --> to a Western cafe --> to Mad Sailors --> to finally a Japanese cafe.
Mind you, the cafes, or should I say, food in Haji Lane is pricey.

Kumoya, only has like 6 main dishes - 3 Udon, 3 Pastas.
Limited selection I'd say... We both ordered the same Udon because well, we ain't got much choice right? 😆
The interior is very bright and white, they even have cushions for your comfort!
Food was.. meh.


Would you look at the udon. The portion is small, the beef is overly sweet (but still nice lah) & the curry is rather average.
Without a doubt, we weren't happy after our meal because when we don't enjoy our food, we become bueysong.
We were so steady on going for second round at The Ramen Stall but as we walked further down, we saw a dessert shop that sells waffle!!
But we both were like 'eh should we go in? Or nah?', so we stood outside for quite some time before I entered the shop.
The waffles was gooood! Yes our stomach got satisfied. 😋


To more food comas Partner!!
23 March 2017: NOVU Aesthetics - Party Now, Age Later

I was invited to my friend's friend's re-launch of his business, an exclusive invite-only party at CÉ LA VI.
There were cocktails, wine, finger food & a photo booth!
It was a great networking opportunity & I get to know some people there!
My friend got a sofa & champagne keeps on flowing. My glass is always being filled up by the waitress.
There was also an artist, Adeline Yeo, demonstrating her art skills being blindfolded.
NOVU is a skincare clinic & it showcase their new products to the invited guests.
Great night!
