Class 95 Retrolicious

I missed this event last year as I had just given birth and being a first time mum… I was really nervous and everything was new to me.

This year, I did not hesitate to attend this event especially when I heard that my favorite Belinda Carlisle & Bananarama are performing. That was really the best reason for me to go watch them. There as one more group – The Human League. These are all the best groups and singers during the late 80s.

Today, we met early for light dinner at Plaza Singapura and man… I was really excited about the concert in the park. It should be fun but then again… I was worried that it might rain given that the weather these days were strange.

When we arrived at the main entrance of Fort Canning, we saw a big crowd and more walking up. The queue to get in was quick and to our surprise, there were so many people sitting down with beers and snacks on their picnic mats. Thanks to Philip who arrived earlier to get us a good place to chill…






The Human League was the first performer of the night but to be honest, their songs were pretty boring. We saw many people sitting down chilling out, eating and talking during their performance and some were even playing game on their iPads. The only songs that got everyone dancing were the last few ones as they were the popular songs like ‘Electric Dreams’…

Next was Belinda Carlisle, I saw her face through the big screen and I didn’t think that she aged at all. She still looked beautiful but she definitely aged while she sang… she was almost out of breath after 3 songs and even went out of tune at times.

I would say the Bananarama was the best… they not only performed their songs well, they still danced well and last of all, they communicated with the crowd! Thumps UP!

We thoroughly enjoyed the concert in the park though it was really hot! I wished I could stay on to dance the night away with those cool retro songs after the concert. Anyway, I am definitely going to Mambo Jumbo one of these days man… wanna join me?

Gathering At Lee Kui

We heard the good news that our dear ex-colleague now friend Philip Cho is back to Singapore for good after 7 years working in Hong Kong. When I first received the SMS from him that he will be returning to SIN for good, I was overjoyed!

My Kai-Ye Steven kindly arranged a dinner gathering for him at Lee Kui (Ah Hoi) at Chinatown. It was a Teo chew restaurant and my first time. We passed by many times when we parked our car nearby to dine at Spring Court which is a street away but has never tried their food.

Steven who has been there ordered many dishes. Our starters were the cold crabs which was very simple but tasty. There was no gravy but the sweetness of the crab. Next was the fried pig intestine which was my favorite… that scored man! I simply went crazy when I saw that dish… I know it’s fattening but it was the best dish man!


The chili crab gravy crayfish was good too… the generous portion was already thumps up! Their signature duck was SUPER GOOD can!!! The meat was soft and the sauce was so good that you can’t stop taking another slice of it… the vegetables were great too though it was simple. I did not enjoy the fish much as all you know that I am not the fishy person… then came the meat ball soup which was good but I have tasted better la…






The dessert was slightly different… kai-ye ordered hot desserts instead of the usual cold ones. He ordered something like crystal dumplings; some stuffed with sesame, red bean and the traditional mang kwang. That was really something different and extremely delicious. Our last dish was the yam paste. For that dish, I would say I preferred the one at Kia Hiang… that was much tastier than this…




It was indeed a great gathering for everyone. It’s always nice to keep in touch with friends though they are no longer your colleagues. Friendship is something nothing can replaced but to treasure.

Oasia Hotel Site Inspection

We were invited for a site inspection at Oasia Hotel located at Novena. This is a brand new hotel that opened recently. The unique structure of the building caught my eye whenever I passed by Velocity shopping mall.

Our super funny Sales Manger Dervyn was our host for this casual site inspection but was a good one. He showed us the Deluxe Rooms, the meeting rooms, and their suite rooms (which is still under renovation). Their rooms gave me a very cozy and resort feel as their rooms are tiled and not carpeted.




The sizes of their rooms were not big but a good size for business travelers, couples and small families. The concept was really refreshing and I like the way they designed their club lounge. Club rooms guest are able to enjoy a beautiful view on the 22nd floor which a good size pool and some chill out area… fantastic view.

After the site inspection, we were invited to dine at their French restaurant Zaffron. This is the only house restaurant and it is an all day dining place for guest. The cuisine though French, but somehow it was delicious.












It was an enjoyable site inspection with the funnyman Dervyn. He was a cool sales manager whose jokes were on the same line as us… Keep it up Dervyn and thank you very much for having us.

Faith Is 16 Months Old

Faith found her best friend... the Conrad Bear... hahhaahah

Happy 16th Months sweetheart and we love you very much. God bless you always.

SJI Concert@The Park

We were honored to be invited to attend this cool concert organized by SJI. Theresa’s son Scottie was one of the performers for this concert.

When we arrived at Bontanic Gardens on a hot evening… we saw a huge crowd on infront of the stage. Some families were having panics, some brought along their dogs for walk and fun… and some are just there to sit around.

As for our group, it never failed to be equipped with good food, drinks and snacks. Bird & Theresa kindly provided food and drinks for us... it was something different from our normal weekend outings. It was quite regret that we missed Scottie’s performance as we lost our way… Yes… its funny that Singaporeans can get lost at Botanic Gardens… hahahaah…























I was surprised to meet my Patricia there, a friend from church whom I have not met for a long time. She has always wanted to meet up for dinner and play with Faith but we were all busy and could not make time…today, we finally met!





However, we still enjoyed the companionship of our friends and the performance of other kids. Those kids really can perform… they dance, sing and play instruments. It was also the food that our friends prepared that made the event enjoyable!

After this event, we went to have dinner at Uncle Sam located at City Square Mall. It was our first time there though we passed by a couple of times. We ordered their signature claypot chicken rice, claypot e-mee and vegetables to share. Mmmh… I would say that the food is not fantastic but pretty good la…try again?… perhaps…




Theresa & Zen, thanks for having us at the cool event at Botanic Gardens!
