Maxwell Food Center


49 Below

My blood test results came out ok, but to be kiasu, another week of C-flux. And to celebrate almost-infection-free, He took me to Shangri-La. Now, i ate at Equinox with Dad before and Blu being only on the 24th beats being 73 storeys high.

We had the Chef's Experience where the Chef (duh!) comes out to chat with us a little, create first impressions, ask our likes and dislikes and creates a 6 course experience.
Everything was delicately prepared and what i love best is the interactivity and creativity of the food. There's a blueberry cheesecake (which i did not have) where blueberries, cheese and biscuit is served seperately on a platter and you mix it up yourself to have your cake.
We had a variety of appetisers, caviar, scallops and i can't-remember. Main course was this 3 month baby lamb that was so tender it melts in your mouth. With chocolate cum sweet corn sauce garnished with POP CORN! Sounds funky huh. Funny why he said it's not worth a frog to sacrifice for frog leg porridge/stir fry, but he can eat a 3 MONTH BABY lamb!
Maybe coz 2 frogs=1 mouth, 1 baby lamb= 4 mouths so the sacrifice of the lamb is more worthwhile.
To finish off, they present us this blosom tree that the soil is made of cocoa grinds, white chocolate leaves and candy floss blosoms. Except its not really candy floss. Lighter, less sweet, taste yogurty.
I was eyeing the other table the whole night because they had this. And i got my own!! It's dessert. It's an Ostrich egg! The yolk tastes peachy, the whites is sorbet balanced on yogurt. You break the yolk so the sweet mixes with the sour sorbet.
I look nice here but he doesn't. So i'm mosiac-ing him. Hahahahaha! Shouldn't waste a nice picture, no?
We went to check out Zicra after that. I tried using my MOS membership to get in free but failed. Then i dropped names like Lifebrandz manager- Failed. Then Lifebrandz VP- failed. THEN i said He's FROM THE MEDIA. The door bitch went, " Oh! Why didn't you say so!"
And we got our stamps, went in, but wasn't impressed with the revamp. I'll stick to ZOuk Mambo.

Personal Reference only.

Just in case someone is asking me to do a shoot with night-time dresses but couldn't find a stylist in time. So then i can refer her/him to here to pick a dress so i won't have to lug everything down. 2 is my favourite, it's not a boring colour like black, not too tight yet still sexy with the deep plunge.

What's your favourite?
I just rummaged through my cupboard and seriously, i've ALOT of clothes.

Sorry, i don't like to loan clothes out though because i did, and it was returned soiled.

Spag Night

It is never a candle light dinner between 2,but between many other people. Ok, i've never really had a candle light dinner with just a man. I had one in Bali with a woman. Let me recall...ok, maybe i had candle light dinners with a man..but i don't remember it was ever all that romantic. Much less the one in Bali with a woman.

So yes, candle light dinners are much more fun with a group of people. Mass romantism.
The preparation that spoilt my French manicure. Ok, i think it was already alittle spoilt when i pressed the lift button.

Too much spag!

Sam's proud tower of bread.

My arms look damn long here. Everyone told me i lost alot of weight, i didn't feel so. But looking at this picture, got to admit i am rather skinny now. Funny though, the men say i'm better like that. While my girlfriends say i look pale.
See mum, Sam's not dangerous. He's harmless.




Ivan will love such gatherings, that boy is at the age of "Drinking is so cooool". But these, my dear Ivan..is for ADULTS ONLY. Hahahaa....

The 2 Million Dollar Yacht

I wish i can tell you it was a party filled with alcohol, skinny dipping and peeing in the sea. But my friends are very mellow, well behaved subdued people so there's none of that sort. And i'm not apologetic about it because its so much better to have the yacht as spotless as it started off as. Less stress that way.Everyone loves getting into the Captain's seat to pose, don't they.Climbing on board..Getting a welcome drink..
Shoot! I forgot to catch the sun set!
Looks like he has a paunch here, but seriously..they're washboard abs.Hmm..mm..

My French manicured nails that Siping bought me lasted only 1 hour the day i got it done before it got scratched. Why does it ALWAYS happen to me! Am i not gentle enough?This was what i caught them doing on the upper deck.
Caught in action.
Lawyers on board in case of anyone falling off deck and wanting to sue me.
Everyone who has met my dad says he's cute. Cute not in the good looking way but cute in the funny way.


Why was Ken sulking?
Permanent residences of the bow. And the bow is actually the best spot of the yacht.

And the stern was where the buffet table was set up. I wanted to decorate the boat like a love boat, Austin Powers style. But i didn't have time. All i had put up was a love dart thing.








Kind owner of the yacht, my uncle. I didn't take a picture with his baby! So so so cute and heavy. A 24/7 happy baby. I didn't take alot of pictures that night, was really tired and couldn't be bothered with the photo taking. Very thankful for Shyanne who probably documented almost everything.


I need to stop looking the same in every photo.


This looks like an advert for Peel Fresh.






And so i brought out this whacky precious (my uncle can only bring back one!)candle specially brought in from China saved for a special occasion. And since i had such an audience, decided to use it for a spectacular performance.

The guys were discussing whether to use anything from China while i was trying to read the instructions in Mandarin.
Look at Shaun's wide open mouth. I think he's afraid it will explode or something.And it opens its petals..And then it plays the Birthday song. Look at Siping listening with her ear..

And they sing, while DC shows his flaming support beneath.

Coincidentally it was my mum's birthday while it was my belated.

So i got her a necklace and a watch.
Thank you for all the presents, the time and effort to find Sentosa Cover, berth India One.
