Happy mid-autumn's festival!

中秋节快乐！

Reminds me that another year had gone by.. It's one of my favourite Chinese festival.. Haha! Second to Chinese New Year~

It's a time where hotels and bakeries will bake tonnes of sweet and colourful moon cakes, baked and snow-skin ones.. Haha.. A time where people will buy moon cakes as gifts to others, a time for little kids to carry lanterns in the parks, a time to take pictures of pretty lantern decorations around town.. And of course the best part is to sit down together as a family, and savour the moon cakes together (even though it's loaded with lots of sugar and unwanted calories).. Haha!

A very happy and colourful festival =)

This year, we have received MBS moon cakes from mummy's boss.. Atas and comes in a very nice packaging.. In the shape of a Chinese lantern!

Like I'm doing an advert for them =p

Yums!

Mr Koh bought us snow skin moon cakes from home favourites.. Haha.. Yummy durian and cempedak snow skin moon cakes!

We also visited the lanterns display over at Gardens by the bay.. Good use of the empty space/grass patch to place lantern displays that light up beautifully at night.. They look pretty in the day too! =) Pretty refreshing from the usual venues like Chinese garden/floating platform.. Haha.. There are some snack stalls and dance/singing performances too, but we weren't really interested.. Do drop by if you have time!

Beautiful reflections!

Happy eating the moon cakes! =)

Lifang's birthday!

Met up with the girls to celebrate Lifang's birthday!

We had dinner at this very nice sushi place at Far East plaza.. A rare hidden gem with very yummy sushi!

It was pretty 'eventful' as the waitress spilled the whole steamboat dish while trying to place it on the table, thankfully we weren't scalded.. Think they were too busy already, and due to limited space to move about, it was pretty hard for the servers.. Nevertheless, they were very apologetic, and replaced with another new one..

The little blue box!

Happy birthday dearest Lifang! =)

 

High tea - PB style

PB - Paris Baguette

Actually they have been around Sunny Singapore for quite some time already, but the first time we ever tried it was back in Seoul earlier in Feb this year, where they originally came from..

Side-track: I miss Korea, can't believe 6 months just whizzed past like that =p

So we headed over to PB at Wisma 2 weeks back, and it was as usual, filled to the brim.. We were lucky enough to get seats without much waiting.. People were everywhere!

We settled down and ordered their seafood chowder, crab sandwich and freshly brewed cappuccino..

Our tea break!

V for victory!

I can't describe how exquisite each of their sandwich/salads/pastries/cakes/sugar, spice and everything nice are.. If our tummies could contain, I would have ordered one of each.. Haha!

Lovely cappuccino

We ordered cheesecake too!

They look too beautiful~ felt bad sinking my teeth into them.. Haha.. Not exaggerating!

Till then, I await the next visit to PB! =)

 

Night Festival 2013

An annual affair~ to check out the exhibits and installations at the night festival.. Seems the same every year, but short of the highlight performance outside the National Museum this year.. Actually there is one, but it's a smaller scale performance.. No pyrotechnic effects, loud music, flashy lights.. Just some acrobatic performance.. I hope they've instilled some artistic flair in me after these years.. Haha.. I'm not very hopeful =p

I have a very short attention span when it comes to art.. They are like Greek to me, vice versa.. Haha.. I only know how to pretend being artistic.. Haha

We hopped around the museums within the vicinity, and chanced upon this exhibition at the National Museum - The princely treasures~ something I find abit more interesting.. Haha

A very colourful exhibition, with treasures from this royal family (that's about all I got from the exhibition).. And very beautiful and life-like paintings..

The thing that caught my eye most, was this calendar I saw at the merchandise store..

Haha! Every date, day and month has a singlish word associated with it! How cool... Haha

Yes! I'm indeed stylo~~

Mr. Laidback and never Gan Cheong

That pretty much sums up our tour of the Night Festival 2013.. Till next year!

 

The sexy and beautiful!

How I wish I have a car like this.. And have people admire my car like those two outside the glass.. Haha =p

So mean and sexy looking..

I've always loved fast cars and get an instant high whenever I see or hear them on the roads.. 帅！

Look at those rims!

The butterfly doors!

I'm not greedy.. Can I have this car for my birthday, please? Haha.. I've enough car models at home already =p

The sexy and beautiful! (pun intended)

Or as a Christmas gift? Hee..

Ok, maybe not.. I still love my Lamborghinis...... Can I get this instead?

Especially a matte black Murcielago... Muahaha! Nothing comes close.... *drools*

 

 

Singapore's 48th birthday

Still within the birthday month.. Haha.. Though a little backdated~ we celebrated Singapore's birthday in the usual fashion as we normally would.. That is to walk around marina area, eat, and watch the fireworks! =)

Chilling over a nice cuppa

Happy birthday my dear Singapore!

Seems like a long time since I last caught the parade on TV.. Haha

Nevertheless the national day long long weekend was awesome! Event filled.. Haha.. Had a 'sports day cum running man' with COKTY+, great feasting, and of course fetched my dear sisi back from the airport! She's finally back after 6 weeks of fun in Seoul =p

I shall end this post with a painting of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, that caught my eye as we were strolling along millennia walk on National Day.. How apt! The colours used were strong, and at the same time haunting.. I will not try to interpret the message that the painter wanted to bring across here =p But it definitely left a lasting impression..

Along with his portrait was a string of words, which was pretty self explanatory for people who witnessed how Singapore grew and became who she is today.. All I can say is, things would have been very different now without Mr. Lee..

Happy National Day! =)

 

 

甜蜜蜜

There's another newcomer to his 2-wheel family.. Name is still not confirmed.. Maybe it's called Flying Pigeon, Lao kok kok, Lao ah pek.. Haha!

Headed over to the bicycle shop near beach road to buy his new toy.. And we 甜蜜蜜 home from beach road to my home then his.. Haha.. 7pm to 11pm.. 4hrs including getting lost due to confusing park connector signs, breaks in between to fix the back seat, and stopping at nex to buy some drinks.. Haha.. Very memorable journey home~
