For my 33rd birthday, we went to The Lighthouse for an all italian brunch with free-flow of prosecco! I had 1 glass... 1 full glass!!!! (Oh nooooo!!! but I made sure no feeding for the next 3 hours!)
This was what we ordered!
I remembered last year when we were watching the F1 race (we bought the Walkabout tickets, so we were basically walking about), we noticed people up here, enjoying the race with their drinks. So... this was it. What an excellent view!
Oh! Check out the chain!! Dave bought this for me from the Copenhagen airport. It's by this designer Malene Birger, and she's got really lovely stuff.
The great thing about getting older? Getting treats! Thanks Carol:)
We went to Prive on Keppel Island and this was what I ordered. Set lunch menu... you can't get better than this!
The view is gorgeous. I wouldn't mind the heat too much with a view like this!
22 August 2009. 6 days before the actual day. My little nephews celebrated their first year today with a buffet lunch at Sheraton Towers. How fast they've grown!
Luca was really well-behaved. I suppose he too is growing up fast. He's hardly a sociable baby, especially in crowds, but today, my #4 aunty managed to carry him for quite awhile!
Here are some pics taken by my 11 year old niece Leng. Notice how I slowly 'disappear' from the photos!
High-5 to the birthday boys and thanks for the red eggs; I mashed it up with some thai chilli and served it with bread for dinner. Was actually pretty yum.
Dave's away, and he'll remember this day as the one where he missed his chance to win his dream car: the new Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI! During the last week, I had cut out all the keys for him from the newspapers, and all that was missing today was him, as he needed to be at the Raffles Place Park in person where the draw was held this afternoon.
So, just to rub it in....
I had a Girls-Day-Out last Saturday! Edrea and Florence wanted to celebrate my birthday early. Since Luca, this was my inaugural day out without my boys! Just for afew hours. I was excited:)
Shallow as it may sound, I insisted on paying The Ion a visit. Orchard Road, on a Saturday, I know it's crazy, but what the heck; it's the latest mall afterall, it's iconic, and I probably will not get the chance again, at least not in the near near future.
Before I reached Ion, I had a plan. I wanted to check out Uniqlo and Muji. So eventhough the whole mall was a maze and packed with shoppers, I was focused. Only after checking out the 2 stores did we comb the rest of the mall, from B4 to L4! No... I did not buy anything... but it was so delightful just being out and about with the girls.
We walked over to Cova for some coffee and cakes after.
Nothing special about this place... but at least we could find a quiet corner on a Saturday (and i bet that's cus the crowd's at Ion!).
Luca turned 1 month old (滿月-manyue party) 2 weekends ago. How time flies. If I had been a working mother, it'll be 2 more months before I need to head back to work. Now... that would really stress me out!
Our original plan was to have the baby shower at home. We felt the baby would be most comfortable in a familiar place, and family and friends can be introduced to Luca's new environment. But after considering the inconvenience of not staying at lift level for the older folks and those with strollers, and that we'll need to separate the party into 2 days (one day for family and another day for friends) due to space constraints, we decided to hold the manyue party at Keppel Club instead. We catered food at the poolside restaurant, The Mangrove. Coincidentally, it was this place that I held my 21st birthday celebration 13 years ago!
This is us relaxing at home after the party... enjoying Luca's manyue cakes from Sweetest Moments. The guests were supposed to each bring a box back... but we were so busy and forgot all about it until my mom reminded us... but that was much later.... so those who left earlier did not manage to enjoy the 2red eggs,2ang ku kuehs and 2cupcakes! Sorry!
Finally, here's Luca's saying a big Thank You to all the gifts and well wishes!!!! But it was me and Dave who had the most fun opening the pressies :)
