Lunch at Wild Rocket

Had the most wonderful lunch at 'Wild Rocket' at Mt Emily!

Picnic at Botanic Gardens

Botak Jones Again!

Went to Botak Jones TPY Lor 1 again, this time with H.

Seems I'm hooked to this american foodie joint!

I recalled how yummy the ribeye steak looks the other time my other friends had it,

so I ordered the ribeye steak 200 gms medium well and H had the lamb chops. She commented that it was still quite a nice cosy place though it was in a 'Off' location.

My ribeye steak was chunky & juicy.

Again it came with a huge portion of coleslaw & crinkle-cut spicy fries!

We took our time to eat at a leisurely pace and I must admit I still have a hard time gobbling up 200 gms of hunky beef!

Later, we shared a Oreo Cheesecake.

H & I were surprised at how small it was.....

just a cube size (maybe 6cm by 6cm).

But we were deceived....

One bite & you are in Cheesecake Heaven!

It had Oreo crumbs generously sprinkled on top.

The middle had a good texture, nicely heavy & creamy...

like all good cheesecakes should!

And held up by a moist tart base.

Great things do come in small packages!

We chatted til 10pm... it was such a nice time!

SFF '07

Me & some friends were invited by D to his show at SFF (Singapore Fashion Festival) at the Tent at Ngee Ann City

It was a local designers show titled "Singapore Fashion Rules!"

On the invite card, it says the show was to start at 12.

(though we know its more politically correct to usually start a fashion show fashionably late)

I was dressed in my vintage Byblos baby-blue sweater over a black shirt, pale-grey skinny pants & sandals.

Thought I looked just right.... didn't want to look TOO sharply dressed up for a Sunday yet don't wanna look too dressed down casual like something the cat dragged in.

Hey I may have lost a lot of weight and maybe killed some brain cells thru all the treatments BUT I haven't lost my sense of style!

The show opens with 10 sparkling white & red Vespas zooming in, fetching the models in....

Oh... *cough!, cough!*......... most of the audience was suffocating from the monoxide exhaust fumes!

The next few sequences showed 5 local labels, very wearable & sellable (read as 'mundane' & 'safe')

The Grand Finale was the highlight!

Featuring more than a dozen local celebrity designers!........

like Tan Yoong, Celia Loe, Daniel Yam, David Wang, Frederick Lee and many others, each showing one outfit on a veteran model or supermodel from the 80's!

(What a surprise Blast from the Past!)

I could recognise some of the models that were real big names in the 80's, like Serene & Lillian.

Some still didn't change very much & looks as gorgeous.... thank God!

Anyway here are some pics of the show.....

Pardon the blurriness cos its taken from my SonyEricsson camera phone. It usually takes clear beautiful pictures but seems its not too good at capturing moving targets.
