National Day Holiday 9 Aug 2012

It's a holiday! We planned to met Layheng for Dim Sum breakfast! So excited to eat dim sum but we reach the place too late and they said everything is sold out! So no choice we decided to head to another location for dim sum but again it was too long queue to wait and I am so hungry! So in the end we ate pork chop noodles.

After breakfast cum lunch we proceed on to our Museum walk for the national day! Art for this national day.

After shopping we then head back to the dim sum place that we went early in the morning for our dim sum dinner. Yeah! We finally got to eat the dim sum! It's damn yummy! So happy & satisfy for this National Day!

Happy Hour @ Balaclava!

Met Jamie for Happy Hour on Wed 8 Aug, manage to found out that Balaclava is now located at ION Level 5. So we decided to go back to Balaclava for our happy hours! It's been so many years we haven't went to Balaclava, missed the days we used to go to the suntec for our happy hour.

It was a fun night, enjoyed the live band. Anita joined us around 10.30pm for awhile then we left the place. Guess we will make a trip there again! :)

NDP Preview 2012

This year gotten 4 tickets, went with Jamie & her cousin. Total 4 of us reach there around 5pm already very crowded.

This year goodies bag is not nice, round in shape and it's a backpack. Stuff inside also wasn't very good, the torchlight is not nice very small unlike last year it can be use as a table light. I don't like this year's goodies bag. :(

With the first disappointment, we are still excited to watch the NDP preview show. Us at waiting for the show to start.

From blog
Every year I go NDP rehearsal or preview I'll look for cute kids and take a photo of their natural moment of watching NDP. Only the kids' natural excited looks give me the memories of how I will feel happy singing the National Day's songs. Schooling days that we have to sing all the National Day's song on the National Day celebration day. I like all those old songs that we use to sing, like "Five stars are rising", "One People One Nation", "Stand up for Singapore", "Count on me Singapore". Talking about the song "Count on me Singapore" there's a joke of the day, a chinese (I wonder if he is from China) ask my friend this question "Count on me in chinese is what?" My silly hubby said "算我...." I was like = ='''' What the hell! Seriously till now I still don't really know what's the correct answer but this question really gave me a shock when the Chinese asked. Cos it really doesn't come to my mind that someone actually don't understand this sentence.

Anyway back to the kids' photo, so this year I had a hard time finding the correct moment and correct kid as my main photo. Was looking high and low for a cute kid, but later than I realise there is just a cute little girl sitting a few seats away from me on my left. And I had a hard time before I can get a right moment of her. Love this photo.



Shall let the rest of the photos for that day to end this post.

Busy doing mock up visual of ang bao box

Brought the box, found the correct paper to wrap the box. I try to layout the decorative stuff to see if it looks good. If there's stuff to improve on....step by step now I think it's almost good to proceed.

This is the first mock up. Wooden words not painted, box not wrapped up. This is the 1st idea.

From blog
This is the 2nd mock up. Words painted but still think that it's too plain, will add poker dot design. Center part find it too blank so will add in more cartoon. Find stars are all yellow looks boring, little twins star cartoon's stars have some pink and blue stars too. will paint some more stars in pink & blue.

From blog
This is the 3rd mock up. Still think that the wooden words need to be all in poker dots. Will do that as final touch up. The front view is more or less done!

From blog
I have send the photo process to my friend and she loves the box design so far! Glad that she like it. Next step is to paste everything onto the box liao.
