Taking a day off...

Took the day off to spend some quality time with Yinghong. Started the day off with a good workout roller-blading in east coast park, and had breakfast at Starbucks - BigSplash. Felt really good without the usual crowds.. :)
YingHong was thrilled that I joined her at her riding class. Even prompted me to watch her when she's doing the "jumping" practice.

Headed off to Cafe Hacienda in Dempsey Road with mum and YingHong to indulge in the infamous award winning mushroom soup (a tad salty for me, otherwise the flavour is rich and fresh!!! Yummy! ) and Mexican Spicy wagyu beef burger (Tasted great , but was soooo filling even though it doesn't look that big).

The Yuzu lemon cheese cake was nice but a little

too sweet for me. Prefer the Tofu Cheese cake at Eden

Santuary, Rochestor Park... hmmm.. miss it..

Overall, a really nice place to chill in the afternoon. Brightly lit with large windows looking out to green foilage, and a few nice sofas, and indoor plants.... simply relaxing. Service is impeccable too. But somehow, beside returning for the burger, I would most likely re-visit Green Room (Bishan Park II) more often than this one. Green Room is just more relaxing and has a more carefree feel. Nevertheless, glad to have tried Hacienda!!

Bloomberg's Office Awards Night -- WOW!!

Had so much fun at our office awards night at the National Museum (Glass Atrium) , the first time its not held in the office... ha!
Initially everyone felt awkward about the theme - Fashion forward Avant Garde , but turns out everyone dressed up nicely, and with the nominees striking a pose against the vinyl screen with spot light - casting a sihouette, and taking a walk down the runway, with disco light.. the atmosphere was really amazing.. felt like you were really at some fashion week event. Thanks to the marvellous marketing team!
The awards and programmers ran smoothly and very tightly, no time wasted. The audience loved the "Wonderboys" (guys from sales and data department) performance of "Nobody" .. all the screams and shrieks, wanting more... ha. And of course, with a good dinner spread and free flow of drinks, it was a great party for everyone. ..surely a night to remember. .
