Though I had the whole night alone, but I bearly could drag myself up this morning. I'd promise my FIL to bring him down to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) for round 2 of family gathering. Got to get dressed up for the event and reach his place by 11:00am.
To make matter worse, my GPS is not update with MBS's coordinates!!! Got to study the route to MBS online and keep it stored in my mind.
12:00pm - Arrival at MBS ... safe and sound. But only upon arrival then I knew there is no public parking at MBS hotel itself. Hotel parking is all via Valet. If wana park myself, got to park at the shopping centre section and walk over. To save trouble, I'd decided to valet the car but only to realise that valet charges as follows:-
1) Hotel Guest - $12/day
2) Non Hotel Guest - $12 for 1st hour. $1 per subsequent 1/2 hour up to max $26 per day.
I almost fainted when I heard it but no choice ... committed liao.
When asked for directions to head to the hotel room, we were told that we had to either register our names at the counter before heading up to the room or get the guest to come down to get us. For this, of cos we rang up the guest and got them to come get us. After all, relatives right ... no need to 客气 with them.
JM's cousin and her hubby stayed at the Chairman Suite at MBS ... located at the 54th level. Private lift up to the level and quite a spectacular view from up there. Lunch was served right in the suite and after that we were escorted to the Sky Park for a 'tour'.
Very good service right ... but you can't expect less if you are paying $7000 plus for a night's stay in that room I say ... LOL
Check out the view that we had HERE!!!
[P/S:- gotta be a FB user to see the pics ^_^]

Day 1 of JM's Simulator Trip - Florida
Still into Day 1 of JM's departure ...
After a few hours of rest, got to drag myself out from bed liao. Gotta bring lunch down to West Coast for the kids. MIL will be out for her medical check up and hence I got to settle the boys' lunch since they had spent a night at her place while mummy is at the airport with daddy :p
After feeding the boys lunch, I headed back to CCK to get get my nails touched up. The colors on my hands are peeling off already and there's a chip on my toe because clusmy me kicked on something and chipped of the polish on my toes.
Since it is Halloween today ... I'd decided to go for a dark color tone for my nails and have something different drawn on my toes ^_^
Nails ... DONE. Next, buy birthday cake for grandma, head home change, pick up in-laws n kids at West Coast ... lastly, head to CHIJMES for dinner at Lei Gardens.
Base on past experience, food there is really really good. I had stuffed myself to the max with all the yummy food. As the day comes to an end, I am almost drained out. Luckily my PIL offered to take care of the boys for the night but on a condition that I go pick them up to head to MBS for lunch the next day.
DUH ... I had long planned to give that family gathering a miss actually but the fact that I can rest in peace after such a long day is very tempting. In the end, my tiredness had taken charge of my plans. I gave in to their request so that I can have a good rest when I head home ...
P/S: Did I mentioned that we had dinner in Lei Garden's private room? We had 2 tables of 8 pax and very comfortably fitted into the room.

French Medicure ^_^
Hmm ... within 2 weeks, this is my 2nd medicure session. What to do ... blame it on the wedding dinners that came one after another LOL. Last night got to attend another friend's wedding.
Nail polish never last long on my fingers because of my constant contact with water. Plus the last session at PINC, wasn't really that satisfactory because they never cut the dead skin away nicely. That gave me another reason to get my hands 'fixed'
Choose to do french medicure this time round. It had been awhile since I last did it. Very very pleased with the end result.
Attended this wedding with Perle and Zhen Yang ... how exciting ... 1st time ever we attended such a formal event together ^_^

Food - KOI Bubble Tea
Hmmm ... is the bubble tea craze back again?
My SIL was bragging about KOI bubble tea and how she and her collegues rotate shift to Q for almost 1 hour to get their drinks. The way she describe it make me wana go get a cup myself.
Oh well ... I finally got my own cup today!!! :p
Verdict - I think is so-so only lah ... or maybe is just the drink I'd ordered. I ordered Milk Tea with Pearl, 1/2 sugar strength. But my SIL said I should try the flavoured drinks not the normal milk tea.
Oh well, the only thing I like about it is you get to choose how sweet you want your drink. And somehow, I think their pearl size is slight smaller that the usual ones you buy elsewhere. Makes chewing easier. Maybe one day I should give the other flavours a try to give it a fair verdict :p

K-Pop updates!!!
Hmm ... haven been talking much about K-Pop recently but that does not mean that I am not listening to it anymore ... hahaha
I guess the main reason is because there's not much that caught my attention recently. Other than the following songs ...
Hmm ... ok you ask who is Seven ... if you are a K-drama craze like me, you probably had came across this drama titled 宮S. If you remember this drama, then you will remember the handsome prince in the show and yes ... that's him. He is back in the music scene with Better Together as his comeback song. Enjoy the music ^_^ Heard this following song via one of the k-pop programme I watched and like the song almost immediately. It has a very lovely and catchy tune paired with beautiful voice of the singers. I do hope you like this song as much as I do. ** Bohemian - Love Letter LIVE version ** The next song would require some time to like it. The song grows on you ... I din really like it the 1st time I hear it but the catchy tune kinda got stuck in my head after the 1st time. That lead me to pay more attention to the song whenever it was featured on TV. As time pass, I really did start to like the song :p The lead singer, Lee Hongki, played the role as Jeremy in a recently k-drama titled 原来是美男 (He's Beautiful).

ZY n Perle wedding
"Wedding bells are ringing ... wedding bells are ringing ... Ding Dong Bells ... Ding Dong Bells."
Today is the BIG DAY for our dearest friends Zhen Yang n Perle!!!
CONGRATS!!!!!
As buddies ... both JM n myself are at their service on this big day.
Events for the day officially started at 8:00am at The Sentosa Spa and Resort. The usual gate crashing events, solemnisation and dinner banquet are all happening right here.
After the morning set of events, gate crashing and lunch, I head out to Vivo City with one other 姐妹 to get out hair set and make up done :p
美美 right ^_^ ... lol hold your puke ok ... please ...
2nd set of events sparks off at 5:30pm ... solemnisation followed by the dinner banquet.
Check out the 'ang bao box' that Perle's friend made. Pretty and nice right.
And here's the nervous bride waiting for solemnisation to start.
Did not have much chance to take pictures as the event proceeds on. Had quite a bit on hand to take care of and to help around. By the end of the day, both JM n myself were as tired out as the bride and groom ... LOL.
It is also very nice of them to invite us to take up the spare room in the villa that they had. Driving home after everything would be quite a task for either one of us.

Drama - 談情說案 (The Mysteries of Love)
It had been awhile since I last recommended a TVB drama ... not that I'd stopped watching it but seriously, there's none that is really worth recommending.
This is a love story between a professor and a policewoman. Their dating experience is enhanced with sense and sensibility through the application of interesting physics theories on the investigation of various crime cases.
KING POK (Raymond Lam) is regarded as the youngest genius in physics and he is appointed as an associate professor in a Hong Kong university. Invited by his good friend LO TIN-HANG (Kenneth Ma), Senior Inspector of Police at Regional Crime Unit, POK assists in cracking many mysterious crime cases and he also meets the policewoman CHUI SIU-LAI (Tavia Yeung) during the process. The rational POK evaluates that he has fallen in love with LAI because of a love hormone called “phenylalanine”. However, owing to the huge difference in their family background and life value, POK fails to tackle their ever-changing relationship problems with formulas.
On the other hand, the romantic and uninhibited HANG has been maintaining a sex only relationship with the journalist LING MAN-KA (Bernice Liu) HANG doesn’t believe in eternity and he is only looking for sensual pleasure in a woman. However, his belief is suddenly shattered when he learns that MAN is going to get married.
Another plus point - Theme song of the song is sang by Raymond Lam himself. Titled: 直到你不找我. A very nice song indeed which enhance his strong vocals.

Aston Specialities @ Changi Airport T1
Sunday night dinner is always a headache espcially when I am not in the mood to cook.
Got to find a place with not much crowd, a restuarant with no queue etc ... Sunday leh ... how possible ... I say, it is almost impossible at shopping malls near me.
What to do??? Think of a place further loh ... furthest away from home ... CHANGI AIRPORT!!! LOL ... somemore the terminal we choose is the longest standing one which we guess probably got the least crowd.
What's there to eat??? To our surprise, we found out that ASTONS SPECIALITIES got a brunch there ... mai tu liao ... off we went to try out this new outlet.
True enough ... there ain't much people around at T1 and best of all, there's no queue at Astons. P/S: A queue outside the restaurant would be a common sight at more commonly visited places.
Take a look at their menu and see what interest you ^_^
We had ordered 3 sets ... 1 for myself, 1 for hubby and 1 for the kids to share ...

Perle's Hen Night
My dear friend's big day is finally approching!!!!
All her 姐妹 had decided to gather and spend time with her before she becomes someone's MRS. To show her appreciation, she gave us a treat at her husband's restaurant, Tenza Izakaya, yesterday. In return ... we got her 'crowned' and told her to serve us our desserts!!! LOL
Presenting ... Miss Bachelorette!!!
She was not allowed to take of anything of the things even when we switch location to Kepple Bay for a drink after dinner.
Over there, we had some serious discussion ... some girls talk and of course not forgetting our task for our Miss Bachelorette ^_^
Task for Miss Bachelorette = Look for tables with only guys customers and request them to take a picture with her.
Easy right ... see we so nice to her ^_^
Before we could really start, we got 'bumped' into by another lady who is also celebrating her hen's night. What a coincident ^_^
It did not take long for Perle to finish her task as there are not many tables with guys only sitting around. Lucky for her ...
Anyway we had a good time talking, joking and fooling around. Looking forward to her big day and wish her a BLISSFUL MARRIAGE ^_^

Owein + Cookie
Our friend Kenneth and Katherine finally moved into their new home.
Tonight, we were invited over for a simple dinner.Though they are still in the process of unpacking and beatifying the place but can feel that it is gona be a cozy place for them.
They had a pet dog named Cookie which I am so amazed that the dog would 乖乖 stay in the basket when he was placed in it and never attemp to jump out. But later on I was told that was because he was never taught how to jump in the 1st place ... hahaha.
Owein found the dog so cute and very soon, Owein had a new found friend. He is always seen next to Cookie and distrubing him ...

Durian Feast!!!
As usual, it is always a headache to decide what to eat on a Friday night. By the time we drop off Oswald at in-law's place after his music class, it is usually to late to last minute to jio people out for dinner as most probably would have dinner plans already or had already taken dinner.
But I suddenly had a strong urge to eat durian and tried my luck to jio fellow durian lovers out and guess what ... I was so LUCKY!!!! Managed to get Billy and Lishan to meet us after Billy's work and Kenneth and Katherine (who were are the East) came to join us too!!!
We all met at Simply Durian @ West Coast for our durian feast!!!
Can't remember the name/breed of the durian that the guys ordered but it is really really big!!!
6 of us ate 2 of this gigantic durian ... all left the shop full and satisfied ^_^
