Cityscape Skate

It was a pretty impromptu suggestion, but we decided to head out for a skate session at promenade lawn after work/dinner one evening. I had a dinner appointment and didn't have my gear with me, but my brother went over to my place to pack and collect my stuff!

He actually got me everything that I needed (even my rainbow socks!) but I still don't understand how he confused "orange tank top" with a tee -.- Lucky for me, he brought an extra tank top that I had given to my sister-in-law, so I borrowed it for the night! ;)


Even with my night blindness and fear that comes along with a recovering broken tail bone, I skated on and tried to overcome my fear.. and the next thing I know, we ended up at Marina Bay Sands!

Ahem, don't judge me because I'm wearing make up and false lashes okay!

After all our epic skating sessions, there was simply no way that we were going to stop there, because it wasn't much of a challenge! We skated past Marina Bay Sands and ended up soaking up the cityscape all the way to Fullerton Bay Hotel!

 

And being such geniuses, we wanted to find a great place to chill out but realize that no one had money with us.. We had no choice but to head back, especially since I wouldn't have the energy to make my way back if we had continued moving forward! By the time we headed back, we decided to drop by Avalon to say hi to my cousin, who was just starting work!

Even with our skates on, he is still so much taller than my brother and I :O

By the time we were done rolling around, we decided to push ourselves to the limit and skate back to the car non stop! When we finally arrived in the carpark, none of us could feel our legs and honestly, all I could hear was my thighs screaming for help. Nevertheless, it was a really awesome skate night! After all, a good workout is the ultimate stress buster!

The Sunshine of Life

"friendship is precious, not only in the shade, 

but in the sunshine of life." 

I guess I should count myself lucky.. For finding friendship when I least expected it.

I miss coming into my old office and hearing 

"Quickly play some kpop and tell me what happened yesterday!"

I miss having someone ever so ready to indulge in cup noodles  

together and camwhoring, just because..

Thank you for being a friend to me, in a place where I least expected it

and when I needed it the most.. Spread your wings, fly and like me, 

I hope you find success in the greener pastures that awaits you :) 

      

With My Favourite Girls

So about 2 weeks ago, the girls finally met up for brunch at Wild Honey! Irene and Joceyln couldn't join us, but hopefully the eight of us will get to reunite soon! :)

I'm surprised I woke up this early on a Sunday afternoon, but I haven't seen these pretty faces in soo long, I really made an effort okay! *pats self on back* It was my second time at Wild Honey, so I'm not too sure how they work, but the girls mentioned that they didn't take reservations and that if they were crowded, we had no choice but to wait for seats. 

We were third on the waiting list, but after an hour, names that came after us were striked off and we were still first on the waiting list. There was only 1 table available for 6 of us, but the people who were occupying that table and were done with brunch continued sitting there for an hour while we starved on the outside. I know it isn't very nice to chase your patrons away, but even when 2 tables that could seat 4 each were empty, the staff didn't think to seat us down. Omg, I can't even begin to describe the frustration that I was feeling. Having been in the f&b industry, I think the situation was poorly handled by the manager in charge at that moment. Thankfully for us, there was another manager that assisted us and even offered us complimentary cupcakes for service recovery, that made us feel really bad after..

Even though it was a dramatic afternoon, we finally had brunch after 1.5 hours of waiting. 

Although it was a little too quick, we finally managed to catch up after so long and it made me miss the girls so much more. It wasn't long before we had to bid our farewells..

Kay and I were in a mad rush to Bedok Reservoir, because we had to get there before Sel. Her boyfriend was organizing a surprise party for her, with some help from the rest!

It was a simple barbecue with ciders and beers to go around. Some of my Awesome Possum People were present too! Familiar faces that I've missed, like my bff Rodney, Hannan, Zack! I miss the boys too much! 

Didn't stay for long since I was really suffering the aftermath of partying in Jakarta and 1-Altitude that weekend.. But I really did enjoy myself, spending time with the people that made such a huge impact in my life. I can never really thank them for being my side during my toughest times, but I really love and appreciate you guys to death!

The best thing that has ever happened to me, was losing the most important person in my life and gaining the friendship of the uncountable number of all of you! ;)

And finally, happy Birthday Princess! I hope you had a wonderful surprise and may the year ahead be blessed with an abundance of happiness and success! I love you babe! ♥

Madhu's 10.25th Birthday

Madhu's birthday actually falls on the 29th of February, which is of course once every four years, which is why this year, she turned 10.25 years old! :X

I was in Jakarta over her birthday weekend and was scheduled to touch down right before the party. And although I almost succumbed to the temptation of extending my stay in Jakarta, well the familia comes first eh? Surviving on just 7 hours of sleep in 2 days, all of us gathered at 1-Altitude to celebrate her birthday!

The last time we were at 1-Altitude was for the Best Nightspot Party and it was a thunderstorm, so we couldn't party in the rooftop and well, let's just say that no one made it out alive. So this time, we came back to party with a vengeance!

All those in attendance..

My brother, Bryan, Myself, the bestfriend Amanda, birthday girl Madhu, sister-in-law/Mrs Boss Mel and Uncle Ong :X

Even though I was really really exhausted and spent most of the night sitting down or shuffling (hehe, I couldn't seem to stop) , I really did enjoy myself! Adam was spinning really awesome music as always and the staff were all really hospitable! Really got to thank them for making my friends feel at home! :) 

And well, I'll just leave you with some pictures taken with Madhu's friend's really awesome dslr! :)

I just had to post this picture because you can see Amanda and I in the background, absorbed in our intense conversation and excitement!

And well, that pretty much summed up a party rocking weekend that I haven't had in ages! ^^V
