My Buddy Is The Best Make Up Artiste!

Congratulations to my buddy RIE! When she told me about her participating in the make-up competition, I was very sure and confident that she will WIN!

The competition was held at VivoCity and I rushed down to support her after work. It was boring at work but this was something I was looking forward to the whole day. When I arrived, I saw her mum and she asked me to join them…

Before the competition started, there was finger food served to all invited guest and yes, I was honored to be one of them… Woohoo!!! Shortly after the introduction by the organizers, the contestants were introduced individually with their models. I was really excited for Rie though I was very confident that she will win it.

They were given 30 minutes to finish up the eye make-up with a theme and I was really happy to watch how good my buddy did. The eye make-up she did for the model was fantastic and beautiful! She called it ‘The Ugly Duckling’… how cool yea…

There was a short session where the ART Director of Shu Uemura showed his version of the beauty art makeup while the organizers consolidate the results. Though I wasn’t there to witness her wining as I had to be home but when I saw her message informing me that she WON, I was overjoyed!!!

Congratulations my buddy!!! You GOT IT!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Boss’s Big SIXTY

Since the departure of my crazy boss, my department is blessed with a great boss whom we enjoyed working for. Someone who is considerate, kind and with a great sense of humor that never fail to create a friendly and stress free environment.

With that appreciation, we organized a dinner party for him at Spring Court which somehow surprised him. He was not aware that so many of us turned up for the dinner as he thought it was only planned by my department. We also included colleagues from another department.

When he arrived at Spring Court, he was really happy to see all of us welcoming him in the private room. We prepared the dinner menu for him in advance and most of the dishes were his favourites. With that, Linda had the honor to ‘tear’ the suckling pig apart so that we can enjoy the meat without any mess.

Half way through dinner, we presented him with his birthday card and gift. He was so happy to receive the Golden Peach from all of us. It symbolized good wishes and good health which is appropriate for elderly…

We had a small entertainment by Linda & Tanaka-san who was dancing away in the room with the MTV and some of us also joined in the dance… haahahahahaah

It was totally a crazy and fun dinner gathering! Happy Birthday Boss! Wishing you good health and God bless you always!

Birthday Staycation

Since it was a long weekend, I booked us in at Pan Pacific for a staycation to celebration hubby’s birthday. After mass, we checked ourselves to hotel and took a rest before heading out for dinner.

Hubby wanted a simple dinner so, we decided to dine at Marche since I am craving for Rostti… it wasn’t crowded as we arrived earlier than usual dinner time. We were given a seat after queuing for about 10 minutes. Dinner at Marche has always been good though they no longer served stingray like they used to during those days at Scotts.

After dinner, we returned to hotel and hubby was surprised by a cake kindly arranged by the hotel staff who find out that it is hubby’s birthday tomorrow during my check-in. It was really sweet of her to arrange the cake for us.

Faith was really happy to find chocolate cake placed on the side table and was excited to celebrate daddy’s birthday. She sang hubby a birthday song and refused to take shower as she wants to have picture taken in her outfit with daddy.

It was a simple birthday staycation but hubby felt special as we celebrated as a family. We will be looking forward to our additional family member next year to join us for all celebrations.

Happy birthday baby… We love you!

My Mum’s Birthday Celebration

It has been a busy week due to the continuous birthday celebration that my family is celebrating. Today, I celebrated my mum’s birthday with the company of my dear family.

I hosted the dinner at Golden Peony which is one of my mum’s favourite Chinese restaurant. As the set menu was kind of too much for us, we decided to order a-la-carte instead. After checking with everyone’s preference, we ordered some of their signature dishes. We were happy that everyone enjoyed the food we ordered and most of them given thumps up too.

Mum is extremely happy to celebrate her birthday with family members and especially when her beloved grand-daughter who sang the birthday song loudly for her. It was though a simple celebration but it meant so much for my mum as it’s another good opportunity to have the bonding session with the family.

Happy birthday mummy dearest! May the good Lord bless you always and we love you very much!

July Babies’ Birthday Celebration

July has always been a busy month for birthday celebrations. We celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday 2 weeks ago and today, we are here again to celebrate my mum’s, my father-in-law and my hubby’s birthday.

We went to our family favorite restaurant Spring Court for this special occasion and we were happy that the staff specially made the birthday buns for us. It was nicely placed on a plate with Chinese congratulatory message for the July babies.

While the adults enjoyed the dinner, the kiddos took over the mics to entertain us with their voices. It was certainly an enjoyable dinner with good nursery rhymes by the kiddos.

During the cake cutting ceremony, the kids continue to sing the birthday song to the 3 birthday babies and that certainly added more joy to them.

Happy blessed birthday mummy dearest, Ah Pa & baby!!! Love you guys so much!

A Day At Hello Kitty Town

We somehow missed the opportunity of going to Hello Kitty Town on our previous family get away in June but this time, we are back just for this theme park.

Faith was really overexcited this morning as she knew that we will be heading to Hello Kitty Town. We set off early and when we arrived at Puteri Harbour, we went straight to the theme park. The theme park is really small though it consisted of 4 levels.

We went to the Hello Kitty Town which was located on the 2nd floor and man… it was just one level of fun with a small tea cup ride near the entrance. After taking the ride, we walked around and went into Hello Kitty house where Faith was really happy and she kept asking us to build her room almost similar to the ones she saw.

After touring the house, we were just in time to catch the My Melody for a photo session. Since it was a weekday and non-peak season, it wasn’t crowded at all. The queue was short and brief. While waiting for the next photo-session with Hello Kitty & Daniel, we went to level 3 to watch Thomas & Friends show which lasted about 20 minutes. Faith knew about Thomas but not a great fan so, she wasn’t as excited as the other kiddos.

We took lunch break since the other shows and photo sessions were in the afternoon. We walked to the nearby Ajisan to have our lunch and went back for the shows. First we went to have a photo-taking with Hello Kitty & Daniel and went to the activity room while waiting for another show. The activity room allowed the kiddos to decorate their cookies and making badges which was pretty fun for Faith. She was excited to decorate cookies though she made quite a mess out of it…

We went to get our seat at level 3 waiting for Barney show and Faith was really excited to see her favrouite ribena overdosed dinosaur! Hahaahahah…. She was all up and jumpy when Barney came out and she joined in the dance and songs when the host invited the kids to the front line. To me, I think Barney show is the best show as there were more interaction compared to both Thomas & Hello Kitty which was just too boring for both Faith & I.

We went to check ourselves in at Traders after a fun day at the theme park. Right after settling down, Faith suggested that she wants to swim instead of taking a nap. We got changed and went to the pool which wasn’t crowded in the late afternoon. We were happy to see Faith enjoying her swim though she could only kick and swim around with the help of the float but we could see improvement that she was able to kick better.

As for dinner, we went to dine at Brussels (a German Café) but served pretty good food. We ordered pasta for our dinner as Faith preferred pastas. While waiting for our food to be served, our little one fell in deep sleep and she refused to wake up for her dinner. All we could do was to return to our room after dinner and hopefully she will wake up to have some food before she calls it a night.

It was simply a fun but tiring day for her and she can’t wait to be back again.

My Little Ballerina

Faith was really excited to be able to wear her ballet costume for class after 3 lessons. She was somehow upset about wearing her own clothes initially for class but today, she was overjoyed!
