Aaron Kwok De Show Reel Concert 2009

Once again, we were lucky to be given one pair of tickets to watch Aaron Kwok LIVE. Our beloved ex-boss who bought the tickets but was unable to make it kindly gave the tickets to us. Linda & I were excited from the start and finally we will see Aaron LIVE!

When we arrived at Kallang Leisure Mall for dinner, it was super crowded as we believed most of the patrons are heading for the same concert too. We had our quick dinner at Coffee Bean and went straight to Indoor Stadium. Man… the queue to enter the concert venue was as if everyone was queuing up to buy the $10 million TOTO!

Anyway, our seats were pretty alright and the stage was in the center. We could see quite clearly from where we were seated; thankfully there was an extended stage on each side where we could see him at a closer range.

The concert started at 8:30pm sharp and his opening song was a fast, energetic and colorful number. Though it seemed to be near but somehow he was very far away when he stood right in the center of the stage. Lucky me, I managed to shake his hands when he came down from the stage and get even closer with the fans.










He was really cute and man… he is truly the King of Dance la… every steps were perfect and the double plus point was… he is damn CUTE! He mentioned that his concert landed in the Guinness World Record for the largest revolving indoor stage. It was specially flown to Singapore so that we can experience it too.





There was a segment where Aaron performed on a 10 by 9 meter, 450 degree revolving stage that rotates vertically and horizontally. It was so colorful and it was really huge when the stage opened up! I was blown away!










Into the second hour of his concert, he appeared from an extended stage where his fan club was and played the piano. It was one of the ‘special performances’ which he included for this concert. He mentioned that he started learning to play the piano only 3 months back and his fingers were still shaking while he was playing.




After a spectacular and dramatic performance on the revolving stage, his next cool segment was when he was splashing water to the audience which made most fans went crazy! He was wearing full white and pretty translucent but that create a sexy effect…. His body was simply amazing for his age. (How can fans not go mad right!)



Fans didn’t want to leave even after the first encore and yes, he came out to perform another two more songs and finally called it a night.






It was indeed a great concert and though he is not the singer with a perfect vocal but his stage performance surely won the hearts over!

Fantastico Luncheon At Otto

We left the office at around 12noon today for lunch at Red Dot Traffic Building. Mr. Minowa, our boss invited us to try a new Italian restaurant that he found out recently. Though we heard about the place; Red Dot but somehow never dine there before.

Otto Ristorante located at a corner of Red Dot Building gave a very cozy and warm feeling when you entered. I have to say that the service was really good. The staff was efficient, warm, friendly and attentive. The staff really knows their stuff as it was a breeze when he took our orders.

Minowa-san who has been there twice for dinner knows exactly what to order and some recommendation was also mentioned by the staff. While waiting for our food to be served, we noticed that the whole restaurant was already filled up within fifteen minutes.


Shortly, the waiter, silver tongs in hand and a large basket of assorted breads in the other was making his way towards our table. He told us what breads were on the tray and he graciously put a slice of Sweet Onion Foccascia, a plain Foccascia and Walnut bread on my platter beside me. This was followed by the pouring of extra virgin olive oil from a vintage bottle. Being Asians, we requested for butter!! Hahahahaahah

I tasted the onion foccascia and man… it was delicious and was all ready for a few more servings. For those onion lovers, this is definitely a must TRY! The other two breads were good too but onion foccascia is definitely a winner!

We were greeted by the cool spoon of Portobello mushroom with cheese. It was indeed tasty. As Minowa-san ordered a few appetizers to share, he told the waiter to portion it for us. When the appetizer was placed in front of me, I was really happy to see the rare white asparagus with Parma ham served with cheese. My goodness gracious; that was actually two appetizers into one! It was beautifully decorated that I thought it was our first dish. Hahaahahahaha… greedy lor!

It was my second time trying the white asparagus as it was really rare and expensive. I was told by Minowa-san that it’s the season for white asparagus and they have it imported from Europe. I bet it must be expensive. The first mouth was amazing…. My eyes couldn’t close as it was so tasty, soft and AIYO…. Just simply heaven!

The Parma Ham was soft, not that salty, extremely delicious with the cheese. For that moment, I was frozen. “What was that?” “How the Hell did he do that” and “Who is the CHEF” was running through my mind! Yes, that was how seriously delicious!


Next was the “Hokkaido Scallop” Carpaccio with assorted seaweed salad and ground dry Sicilian tomato. I was blown away as it melts in my mouth and I was quietly craving for another serving…

After the fantastic appetizers, I was anxious to try their pasta which our boss ordered. He mentioned that his favorite will be the spaghetti with sea urchin, mushroom risotto and their house special squid ink Tagliolini. It sounded really exciting.

Cleverly they served our pasta on the same plate in small portions. I took a spoonful of the spaghetti with sea urchin and I murmured my silent ‘OMG’ under my breath and of course my eyes gave it away as they were opened so big! Ah K looked at me and asked “Why your eyes so BIG” and I told her that it was the most delicious pasta I have ever eaten!

I didn’t want to finish it as it was so good but on the other hand, it was too good to resist. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness when I took my last spoon! After rinsing my mouth with the cooling sparkling water, I tried the squid ink tagliolini. It was just as good though not as heavenly as the spaghetti. The taste was different; it was light and tasty though black in color.

My last spoonful of squid ink tagliolini already filled my stomach but I had to find space for the mushroom risotto. When it arrived, the presentation was simple and it smelled good. We were given a spoonful of it on our plate and I was like ‘FLYING’ at the first mouthful! It was so damn delicious! I could taste every bit of the risotto and the mushroom bits were …. Unbelievable!

The finale was somewhat the most amazing piece of art. The dessert of the day ‘Magic Box’ was really cool. The outlook of the dessert simply looked like a piece of art coated with bitter chocolate. I was taken aback as it was coated with chocolates but when I tasted it, I totally changed my mind. The bitter coated chocolate fell apart when your fork touched it and when you put them in your mouth; it was icy cold as there was an ice-cream inside the ‘box’. Fantastico!




This is one restaurant that I will definitely visit again but guess it will be for special occasion as good stuff don’t come cheap!

American Idol Biggest Upset!

I was watching American Idol finale this morning and waiting for the results to be announced. It was one entertaining show put up by the Final 13 idols and many other celebrities performed during the show too.


When the moment Kris’s name was announced as the winner, my heart shattered! I was wondering what the hell Americans just did! They chose ‘boy-band-ish’ Idol over a super solid ROCKER! Aarrrggghhhhh…….



I was hoping it was Adam instead as he was really GOOD! I don’t deny that he is an artiste that some may like him to bits and some will hate him to the fullest! That’s the kind of artiste we are talking about! It will be boring if an artiste is a totally well-liked one.

Kris is cute and I have to agree to that as it is the fact but the singing, performance and his style does not stand out as a STAR! I am not being bias here but I still think Adam ROCKS!

Both idols have come a long way and I am sure Adam’s album will be selling like HOT-CAKES and it will be like the second season when Ruben won but Clay’s album sold better!

Adam Lambert will still remains as my American Idol!

Crazy Moments After Lunch

When the boss is out for meeting, we will tend to be more awake then usual. Just this after lunch today, due to too much food in-take, our brain refused to function. We had to find some entertainment to wake ourselves up and YES, the camera!

It was pretty co-incident that CK came to ask Rie to take a picture of ‘Superman’ for his article as he was too shy to do it himself! Ah K immediately asked me to do so but I couldn’t as he’s too good looking for me to snap!!!! I am very sure both my legs and hands will turn jello….

Anyway, while deciding who to be photographer; we took our own pictures for the fun of it… that’s pretty usual in the office especially at our area!!





Back to work… Sigh…

Post Birthday Dinner

God-daughter has been busy with her new job and finally we managed to dine together today. Jessie and I invited her to dinner and we settled at Tea House at City Hall.

It was our first time dinning there as the rest of the restaurants don’t look ‘Sexy’ for us to dine… haaa… Anyway, we ordered their popular dishes like the herbal roast duck, sichuan style soup, vegetables, pork ribs and the cereal fried rice.




It didn’t take them long to serve our food (maybe not that crowded yet). The so-called Herbal Crispy Duck wasn’t as crispy as we thought but tasted alright… I would preferred the roast duck at Chinatown man… then came sichuan style soup and the vegetables with salted egg yoke, century egg bits; tasted normal but the soup was damn sour! The pork ribs were not bad actually. Okay, Cereal fried rice… we were quite disappointed actually… the fried rice is FRIED RICE and was top with perhaps a spoonful of deep fried cereal! Wah lao lor!

The dinner was great due to the companion not really the food. We did a lot of catching up as we don’t meet often. It was really enjoyable to hear her travel experience to Vietnam and Cambodia. Kangz… let’s have another round yeah…
