Joe and me are off to the land dubbed “Paris of Java”, where the Sundanese people dwell. The land of cool and pleasant climate, cheap factory outlets (major reason why we are going there!) and delicious kuih lapis and brownie kukus. Update again when we get back on Thursday!
One of the nights Joe and me had dinner at Skinny Pizza at Suntec City . Hmm, the crust of the pizza is so thin it should be called Skinny Cracker instead! We ordered the set at $38 and it came with the following.
Yummy soups! We had the Portobello Mushroom and Sweet Corn Crab – both tasted very natural and fresh!
The main course, supposedly the highlight.. hmm… skinny pizza too thin! The meatballs were yum though. And the rocket leaves and fresh parmesan cheese! Real gourmet stuff!
Love love the fries! The truffle oil adds a nice fragrance and saltiness to the fries! Very tasty and different from the usual fast food kinds.
Paid another $5.50 for Spanish donuts with Chocolate Fondue which reminded us of the Chocolate con Churros breakfast we had in Spain. You thought you were full already but there will always be stomach for chocolate!
The restaurant is quite stylishly decked out and we managed to get the comfy sofa corner. A nice place to chill out at!
I also tried ROC Pizza at Golden Mile Food Centre during lunch with my colleagues. Now this is what I call a proper thin-crust pizza! The crust was of the right thinness, giving enough base to let the ingredients like the mushrooms and cheese shine through. The owner is a City Harvester too, so do support! Btw, know what ROC stands for? “Relax One Corner!” Hahha!

SPH Ink Awards is a annual competition to honour the best in print advertising. In this day and age where there’s info overload and it’s tough to get people’s attention even for a few seconds, it’s surprising that 2 of the award winners in the press ad campaign category were copy ads.
What copy ads refer to are advertisements where copy (text) plays the main role in communicating the message other than visuals. The 1st prize winner was the campaign “Life Before Death” done for Lien Foundation. I had seen several of them in the newspapers and they did catch my attention but honestly I did not read them in detail.
For the 3rd prize winner, I saw them on MRT platform ads (which I actually took pics of using my HP some time back) and was immediately struck by its genius! The product is the Visa Signature Card, targeted to frequent travelers who enjoy a premium lifestyle. I love how the copy subtly brings out the personality of one who holds the card, while also mentioning the benefits of the card without hard-selling. The handwriting idea links back to the product name. Really find the idea behind it very refreshing like a credit card ad!

With compliments from Ting who was sitting at 2nd row!

This is a super outdated post!! The couple is now back from their honeymoon and enjoying married life already! Btw, I am gonna intersperse my own pics with those of her photographer. You should be able to differentiate my pics from the pro! You can check more pics of her actual day here and here!
When we gathered at Becky’s wedding early in the morning, we were blessed with a handmade personalised card and pretty pouch, all nicely placed in a sweetheart carrier. Thanks again Becky for that personal touch!
Then the anxious wait for the groom and his entourage! But hey we were very very lenient with them!
They get chairs to sit around and solve a crossword puzzle?? Totally unheard of in wedding sabo history!
Then they get to enjoy potong ice-cream, ang ku kueh, paos and drinks! What is this!!??!!
Oh well, we are a gracious lot of sisters and we had our share of fun =) 
Then it’s off to the Armenian Church for the matrimony, it’s a nice quaint church in the City.
Waiting for the march-in
Then it was back home for some shut-eye and back for dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The beautiful bride in her beautiful suite, with her handsome hubby and pretty frens!
The personalised candy from Down Under – love the taste! The heart-shaped dessert was a nice touch too! It was a fun nite catching up with the girls as always! Talking about marriage and chores and everything else under the sun!
Here’s to a happy marriage for Becky and Siong San in the days to come! =)
Do you think Joe looks like Pastor Tan? A lot of people think so! What do you think? Hee!
Yesterday was SOT Graduation and it marks the end of a grueling 5 months of hard work, stretching of capacity, stepping out of comfort zone for all School of Theology students!
During the Graduation Service on Sun, Joe had the privilege to preach in front of almost 8,000 pple! WOW! I’m so proud of him!
Though I could tell he was initially kinda nervous, think he got a hang of it in time! His trademark humour started to show as the audience squeaked in delight at the following …
“From the SOT I was studying 12 exam topics. 11 times I was rushing my assignments; 12 hours a week I was serving fervently; till the last day of SOT I was still reading the Bible; 10 times I had been scratching my head, preparing sermons; 3 times I was preaching; 2 overnights and 2 weeks I was deep in Basement 4 on my knees praying..”
Best of all, his mum came for service to support him and I think she had a good time! Thank God for that! =)
Dear dear, you did well and I’m so proud of you!
I really liked this movie very much!
The director Pete Doctor had this to say about the movie “Basically, the message of the film is that the real adventure of life is the relationship we have with other people, and it's so easy to lose sight of the things we have and the people that are around us until they're gone. More often than not I don't really realize how lucky I was to have known someone until they're either moved or passed away. So if you can kind of wake up a little bit and go, "Wow, I've got some really cool stuff around me every day", then that's what the movie's about.”
You gotta catch it!
After the reccee, I rushed down to the man yue of Desmond and Lauretta’s beautiful daughter, Jeryn. Oops.. I din take pics of her cos she was sleeping so soundly and peacefully! =)
Man Yue Goodies!

Calvin’s such a big boy already! Can swim on his own!
