Mitsubishi Corporation Chilled Out At Velvet

Three years back, we organized a ‘chill-out’ session at Velvet Underground and the response was fantastic. Many actually requested us to do it again especially our colleagues from subsidiaries. They enjoyed the free flow of drinks and buffet dinner we provided.

This year, we did the same but the response was not as good as the previous one. Mainly the biggest group opted out due to their closing term and that really affected the number of participants. Anyway, even with the low rate of participants, we went ahead.

The committee arrived early to double check on the arrangements and checked on the buffet spread. I never doubt Velvet’s management staff as they did a great one during our last event there.






After the arrival of our staff and guest, GM gave a short opening speech and the party started. While everyone was having their dinner, our MC Patrick Ong started the games segment by getting some staff to play the old school game – The Musical Chair. It indeed brought up some fun to our quiet guest.





The drinking competition was another game and it somehow managed to get many staff cheering the participants … cheering them on to finish their beer. Right after the game, we started our disco session and that was when everyone went MAD!







We were pretty disappointed with the Technician who was in charged of the music that night for he put the wrong disc and songs were not continuous which really spoilt the mood. However, after informing the PIC, they managed to change the disc and the party continued.

After the event, some of us stayed on and enjoyed ourselves at Zouk. It definitely reminded of those days when my buddies & I hang out there every Friday night… simply Fantastic…

Thank you Leng, Neh, darling, KK, Kat, Koko, Joanna & PO for helping out at event which was somehow successful!

Happy Birthday Soulmate

This is the 2nd time hubby celebrated his birthday with his little precious. Both of us got off work and rushed back to have dinner together as a family. We went to Swensen’s located near our nest.

When we arrived on a weekday evening, we weren’t surprise to find a long queue as that is one of the most popular restaurants for family gatherings. However, it did not take us long to be seated. *winks*




It was also our little Faith’s first time to visit Swensen’s and as usual, she got greedy when our food arrived. She wanted to have our food but too bad she has no teeth to chew… hahaahahhahaah … OOOPPPS!

I always have plan B whenever that happens… I brought along her own food like snacks, porridge to feed her while we had our dinner. Even while eating her own food, she was still staring and pointing at the fries on my plate!

After dinner, we had a small cake cutting ceremony for hubby. Faith was really happy while we sang the birthday song (as if it was her birthday all over again!). Bought the cake from Bakerzin again… Yes… 2 Bakerzin cakes in 2 days… the Strawberry Shortcake was delicious la… how to resist….




Happy Birthday baby! We Love you.

Faith Turns 14 Months

Faith turns 14 months today and man… she has started to walk already. She wasn’t confident at the beginning but once she got the hang of it, she was way too brave!

Our little friend started to get up on her own when she was about 13 months 2 weeks and was really proud of herself when she could stand on her own feet. I remembered she was clapping her hands when she stood up without clinging on to the wall. It was quite a funny scene.

I am sure she will start to run in no time…

Happy Birthday Mummy!

July Babies Birthday Celebration

There are in total of 5 July babies in my family and we celebrated my mother in law’s birthday about 2 weeks back.

Today, we celebrated the birthday of my father in law, my mum & the most important person in my life, my hubby. Their birth dates are one after another. Mum’s birthday on 26th, Father in Law 27th and hubby on 28th! Totally co-incidence!

We went to our family favorite restaurant Spring Court for dinner and the manager Eric kindly arranged a bigger room for us for comfort as we have kids and babies.





The ‘birthday buns’ were served right at the start of the dinner and it was for good wishes. I would say the buns here were much better than Lee Wah though they tasted the same but the presentation is definitely better here. This time, our so-called cold dish was their in-house special ‘po-pian’. It was everyone’s first time trying and it turned out to be a hit!


The shark’s fin soup was very delicious too and loads of crab meat indeed! Next was the family favorite … suckling pig! I simply enjoyed the suckling pig at Spring Court as the skin of the piglet was really crispy and not that fatty. I would say the meat for the suckling was just as yummy as the skin. Totally heaven!!


The deep fried fish with soya sauce was great too as the fish meat was soft and our little simply loved it… she enjoyed so much that she wanted to feed her dad some… haahahahaah…. Silly! Instead of the usual roasted crispy chicken, we changed it to father in law’s favorite ‘Yu Lan Chicken’. The chicken meat was soft, tender and best… boneless… hahaahah… this dish is very well liked by the elderly.




The chili garlic prawns were very tasty too and though I am no fan of prawns due to my skin issue but it was really good and I couldn’t resist it… mum’s favorite would be the vegetables with mushrooms and dried oysters.




The birthday noodles were served before our ever delicious almond cream paste dessert. To us (hubby & I), the almond cream at Spring Court is one of the best we tried so far. It was smooth, tasty and what’s important, it was served HOT. That is what a hot dessert supposed to be isn’t it?








This time, we bought the cake from Jane’s Cake Station where they are ever-famous for their delicious creamy durian cake. Everyone enjoyed the cake very much and though we had durian cakes for both occasion but we still loved it.












Happy Birthday to my beloved mum, my wonderful father-in-law and my soul-mate hubby! Wishing all of you good health and God bless you.
