Samantha's 25th Birthday

Up here is Sam's 25th birthday which we celebrated few days earlier prior to her actual day & before she scoot off to Phuket & BKK for holidays.

Dinner at 49 Seats @ Kreta Ayer

Sunshine from The Patissier requested by birthday girl.

It's their signature meringue sponge filled with zesty yuzu-flavoured mousse & succulent mango pieces.
The meringue sponge literally melt in your mouth one, so good!

This is the 3rd time we had meringue cake from The Patissier.

Sam provided her long wishlist & got a lot of stuffs with the budget of $480.

- Jcos Studio Calfskin Messenger Bag
- Phillips Hair Styling Tools
- Braun Bikigenie Shaver
- Xiao Mi Portable Charger
- Givenchy Le Rouge

These gifts put into great practicality for her birthday trip.

We sang a loud birthday song for her & heard other customers joined in too.

Grin from ear to ear

After knowing her for a decade, one fact I found out from her was that she don't eat chocolates but take Nutella & Kinder Bueno.
Nah, here's the chocolate banana meringue 2 years ago.
From then on, we all know that she don't take chocolates.

Ok la, this is valid cos I don't eat meats/seafood BUT I eat fish & chips, hotdogs.
Get what I mean....

See, she took a bite from the white chocolate message plate.

Lee mass-written CNY greeting cards on the spot for us.

Finally a full attendance of SWEETS #sklmcj

We strolled over to Chinatown CNY streets for a lil shopping.
Look at the crowd even though it's on a Monday night...
Agenda here was for fish cod crackers but why was it discontinued?!

Got a free ride home thanks to Nicholas.
6 of us 'kui sio' in the van, laughing throughout the journey to Jurong East.

Yawning were contagious in the van except for Cyn whose shield by the yawning-bug.

 Sam's birthday ended on a high note.
Happy birthday once again!

Xx, Kelly.

Jing Wen's 25th Birthday

On 15 Jan'15, Jwen is the first in our clique to turn 25th.
To my horror, time is really catching up & we age rapidly.
 Counting on to our friendship, we've knew for a long 12 years since secondary school days.
This year, we've increase our birthday budget to $100 / pax.

Birthday girl collects Lego miniature figurines, so Cyn & Sam suggested to customize a Lego cake for her.
Lego cake was ordered from a colleague of mine, which previously she has done birthday cakes for my boyfriend too.

Lego cake details:

- Full fondant for lego cake block & base

- Chocolate Banana flavoured - Nutella with Bananas layered cream cake

 'Happy Birthday' candles & Lego man sitting on it, the cake looks fascinated.

Requested her to provide us wish list, so that we can work around our budget & get something that the birthday girl like or put into practical use.

We bought her Bottega Veneta leather bracelet.

Jwen decided to dine at Skinny Pizza @ Westgate. 

We over-ordered yet again  - 2 pizzas & 7 mains.

English Breakfast

Chicken Satay

After the heavy meal, left Meryl & me remained on our seats while the rest left to prepare the cake.

The 7 of us finished up whole cake except for the fondant which was too hard & thick to be consumed.

Jwen was caught by surprised.

She didn't expect a customization cake & we topped it off with Lego collectibles. 

One stone kill two bird, got surprised & favourite Lego man.

The toppled candle caused a burnt mark on the fondant & tried to cover the burnt spot with a lego brick

Zx picked a Lego head & ate from there

Sweets but not in full attendance

Aiyo, Meryl posed 2-5 leh!

So next time we'll recall that this is our 25 y/o celebration.

Now i realized, I'm often the one who sing the loudest for birthday song.

A simple celebration to end the nite.

Once again, Happy Birthday, Jwen!

Next in line, Samantha on 5 Feb.

Xx, Kelly.

2015 Countdown @ Marina Bay

Let's welcome 2015 & bid goodbye to 2014!

It has been a long time since I went to a countdown party. I wanted my 2014 to end with a blast & decided to purchase $28 ticket to SG50 Countdown Party. The largest countdown party in town!

Turned up with some of my favourite people at Marina Bay Floating Platform. Part of the reason was the appearance of BigBang which tempted me to go.

I arrived later than Sam's family while they already queued since 6pm & little hiccups happened before we entered the platform. Perhaps that's my last embarrassing moment in 2014, when I frantically locating Entrance A & leaped over the barrier for shortcut access. Still, thanks to Zx & Sam for helping me over else I would have stuck in the human jam.

We were seated around 8pm & seats nearer to center stage were mostly occupied.

Beautiful landscape of Marina Bay.

Unobstructed view from our seats for fireworks.

The pretty spheres formed SG50 which we wrote our wishes last year.

Chanced upon this last year at Westgate & we wrote on it too

Le Couple joined in too. 

We're far from the center stage.
That's where the mosh pit & $68 were seated at.
Mosh pit were occupied by BigBang fans which also known as VIPs.

The countdown party went live telecast on 9.30pm.

Kit Chan & Dick Lee sang 'Home', national day themed song back in 2008, all Singaporean sing-along, except for foreigners. :/

Stephanie Sun medley, we got high when she sang ‘第一天',

Everyone stood up, cameras all standby, ready for the countdown & blasts of  the magnificent firework which lasts for 8 mins.

After the fireworks, here comes the most anticipated performers of the night - BIGBANG!

Climax reached the peak & loud cheers when they appeared on stage.

The audience went head over heels for them.

Beautiful LED lights glowed from the RFID wristband which flickered along with music beats while some wore LED-crown headband.

Opening song - Fantastic Baby followed by Tonight

Pictures captured from the big screen.

BigBang sang quite a number of their hit songs.

Taeyang & GD - Good Boy. Downloaded to my Itouch after their live performance.

Audience slowly dispersed around 130am when the party ended.

While waiting for Lee to walk over from her $68 seats, I supposed she had a great view there. 

She's so near to the stage, so close to BigBang.

An after-party offstage

See all the Xiao Mei Mei & Xiao Di Di chiong there, became an underage party.

Me have not been to one before & now feeling too old to party.

Hitting mid-twenties crisis :/

One group photo with iconic MBS.

Thanks to Lee's dad for fetching us home.

I picked up a $50 note on the road side & paid to Lee's dad as cab fare.

Find myself a bit lucky, $50 leh not $10, not coins.

Didn't thought of any resolution for 2015, just live freely will do.

Xx, Kelly.
