[random] Guardian Exclusive Workshop: La-Roche Posay Sun-care Workshop+ Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant

Image
I was delighted to be selected to attend the Guardian Exclusive 'La-Roche Posay Sun-Care' Workshop , and it was held at Guardian Plus at Takashimaya Shopping Centre . We ended our meet up with a wefie! Say Cheese…. We were given a generous goody bag which was filled with La-Roche Posay and Vichy products. Meryl came down to Suntec City to meet me for lunch on a random weekday, and I was so happy to see her again. Although we seldom see each other, we are still in each other’s heart, and that’s what friends are for! We settled our lunch at The Butcher’s Kitchen , and we went for the daily lunch set special which comes with soup and a glass of drink. The set cost us around SGD15++.

Thanks so much for the companionship!       I met up with Linda for dinner at Berlin Bar & Rest...

[random-ness] HMM 21st Anniversary + Pulau Ubin

Image
This year, my company celebrated its 21st Anniversary and the committee members came out with some team-building activities that ranged from an amazing race, to friendly tele-matches! The venue was set at Changi Village.    Since the celebration was made on Friday, my office was closed up early around 1pm. We were divided into 4 colored groups for a team challenge, and I was in the blue team! Kudos, to my team, as with everybody’s support, patience and unity, we came in first place! We were awarded shopping vouchers for this accomplishment! One of the challenges was to travel from Changi Village to Pulau Ubin , and we took the boat from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal . I was glad to be at Pulau Ubin again, as this island a nice retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Singapore. It is an island with a rich history and heritage, and it is easy to take off one's mind off from any troubles they may hav...

[New Zealand] Agrodome + Lake Tarawera + Waikite Spa Valley

Image
New Zealand is famous for its sheep, so Baby insisted on visiting a 'Show' - farm during our visit in Rotorua. We therefore drove to the Agrodome after we had our breakfast!   This attraction gives international tourist to New Zealand an extraordinary, real hands-on live experience to farming. The main focal attraction of the place is to allow for an interesting interactive experience with the farm animals, such as sheep, lambs, cows, dogs, and even Alpacas!   Baby picked up the tickets at the counter by providing a printout, as he had ordered the tickets online prior to our arrival in NZ. I watched the shearing demonstration and the stage Farm show, which was super entertaining!     I was especially surprised by the size of the largest sheep in the world, the Merino! The Agrodome's mascot in fact, is a Merino Sheep, and the place aptly named the Merino they have 'PRINCE'! The shee...
