Groupie Shoot

Our beloved Rie will be getting married in December and we requested us to join her for a groupie shoot so that we can have some pictures to display for her montage.

We engaged Belinda & David to do the photo shoot for us and the location was the surroundings around our office building. About half and hour before the shoot, most of us were preparing ourselves with full make-up… it was really FUN!



When we were ready, we met Belinda near our office front entrance and we started having our test shot and finally, our groupie shoot started officially! All of us had our own individual shots and it was fun and some poses were hilarious!








After the photo shoot, we went to have dinner at Palm Beach Seafood located at Fullerton Walk. The ambience was great but was really crowded… the food was not too bad neither… it was one enjoyable evening for all of us…


Fire Drill

It’s one of those times where our office building had a fire drill exercise and like the usual years… most of us were informed what time the fire alarm will be sounded.

This year, my pals & I decided to stay in the office instead of getting out of office for coffee breaks or some will take this opportunity to do some shopping. Before the fire alarm was activated, most of my colleagues were gone… there were only a few of us left in the office and that was where the fun started.

Finally, the alarm was activated around 4pm and the office was almost empty. The bosses were having their department head meeting and some other bosses were out for meeting. We were all left alone!!







We started to do silly things like taking pictures and we were cracking jokes… it was at least about one hour of fun!!! We were hoping that the bosses will never be around so that it will be a more relax environment… hahhaahaa

Family Shoot

I have always wanted to have a family shoot and I thank God that I have two great photographers who takes beautiful pictures.

I arranged a family shoot with Belinda & David; they chose Raffles Place as the venue as we wanted to have an outdoor shoot rather than the boring studio. I thought it would be really fun to have the family out and taking beautiful pictures.

Earlier this evening, we arrived at Raffles Place and saw Belle setting up their cool equipments and adjusting all the lights. I was really excited and did a few test shots for her. Maggie & Amos arrived shortly and they too were shocked by the scene.





When everyone arrived, we started the shoot right away after doing a few more test shots. Sheryl and family had a great time posing and the kids were having fun! Amos & Maggie were enjoying themselves, parents were high!!!








It was one fun photo shoot indeed and we were really happy to find our pictures were beautifully taken!

Thank you Belle & David, Great JOB!

Another Durian Feast

Steven kindly arranged another durian feast for us before the end of GOOD durian season. Right after work, we went dinner at Neil Road for Sichuan cuisine and it happened to be my Partner-in-crime Joanna’s husband’s family shop…

Hubby & I used to dine there as we loved the Xiao Long Bao there… it’s extremely juicy and delicious! Anyway, Steven ordered pan-fried dumplings, steam xiao long bao, and the Chinese pancake… mmh… everything was simply yummy!

It was our only time for our stomach to digest the food during the ride to Serangoon for the main dish of the night. When we arrived, the durian place wasn’t crowded but full of durians…. Hahahaah… as usual, Susan became excited and started to check out the durian desserts at their shop… planning to buy some home.










We ordered quite a lot of durians and only one or two were sweet. The rest were bitter and bitter-sweet. The sweet durians were great man… and as I am typing this blog, I am drooling away…. I would say… thankfully there were Philip and Lance to help finish some of the durians or else we will have to bring them back…




As a tradition, Steven ordered mangosteens to balance off the heat from the durians… guess these two fruits have to be eaten together…
