Naughty By Nature
DC and I were invited to this studio by the name of Naughty By Nature (NBYN) for a free lifestyle photo shoot comprising of 2 changes of clothes and makeup. We found the studio very different from the others that we went to and had actually enjoyed the photo session very much. It was a fun process which reminded us of our wedding shoot months ago. However, it was the last stage that quite put us off. A male sales staff almost immediately changed his attitude after he could not convince us to purchase the package. He was very inflexible too as he would not allow us to purchase extra photos. So much so for the invitation. There was not much left of the good impression that we had (up to the photo shoot). Lesson learnt: There is no free lunch in this world. There is always a catch somewhere! So, beware!

The World Cup Craze
The 4-year-once World Cup is here and everyone around us is crazy about the score, us included. We followed the matches closely even when we were in Bali and here's the proof! Ha ha!
Take a look at Coffee Bean's new creation! Doesn't the round thing on top of the cake resembles a soccer ball? Nice taste, all football fans should try it. :)

We are back from Bali! :)
We are back from our Bali Trip! :) Sure we have waited very long for this trip but it was really worthwhile. What a great romantic trip and we had such a good getaway!
Here are some pictures we took on the Indonesian island:

Pauline's Wedding
Another one of my good friends has gotten married. She's next after DC and me and Wow! The past 4 months does fly! In a blink of eye, her wedding at Holiday Inn Park View was over.
We had an enjoyable time at her dinner. The ambience was good. Food was not too bad, portion was just right but the Chinese waiter that served us was not up to our expectation. When asked for red wine, he gave me sprite (he could not understand English well) and served the dishes too slowly. It's a pity we had to skip our dessert as our cab has arrived before it was served. No wonder DC couldn't stand it and scolded him.

Dinner at Ivin's
We had dinner at Ivin's at Thomson Road. I always wanted to try the food there especially hearding from one of my colleagues that the food there was quite good. I finally had the chance, all thanks to Fathers' Day! Food there was not too bad but the portion was too little. Hope Father-in-law enjoyed the food. Guess he did cos he is a curry-lover. :)

Early Fathers' Day Celebration
We had our Fathers' Day celebration today at Toa Payoh's Sakura Restaurant. It was a buffet. All of us had a full stomach at the end of the meal! :) The initial plan was to go next-door K-box crooning but everyone's heart is at the World Cup and so we rush home to monitor the results for the 9pm match. In the end, we were very disappointed in the Argentina vs Serbia & Montenegro's 6-0 score.
Change of Mattress - Superb!
Finally, the furniture shop arrange for someone to change our king-size mattress. Boy oh boy, was the new mattress solid! Somehow, I think they may have short-changed us with the original mattress ... like they could have given us a inferior model. Come to think of it, the original mattress did not have the model labelled on it but now the new one, there is ... Now, the new one is what it should be, when I turn, it doesn't cause disturbance on the whole mattress ... comfy! :) Lesson learnt again, take note of what I buy and double verify again upon delivery.

Yummy Puffs
Goodwood Park Hotel came to DSTA to promote their durian delights today. There are durian puffs, durian crumbles, durian crepes and durian cakes. I collected the 20 durian puffs that I ordered on Monday and oh, I so love the way the small icy puffs looked when they are packed in a box. So neat and cute! :) I couldn't help but to steal a few to eat before I distribute them to my parents and in-laws... They are yummy!

On Our special Day Today
Like every love story, there are always some special dates that have special meanings and that both parties will try remember e.g. partner's birthday, first date, ROM date, etc . Today is one of the special days. :)
Many years ago on this day, when DC and I were just friends, he gave me a box of chocolates (that's his first gift for me!). I had tricked him into believing that my birthday was on that day, ha ha... :P Since then, to commemorate this day, we would mark our calendar on every year this day and he is supposed to send me chocolates. This year, we went TCC for his favorite chocolate cake.
