The August babies got together on a friday night to have a simple celebration at CMPB @ Dempsey.
When the guys were first told about the venue,
it was pretty shocking for them because they thought of the government CMPB than the bar and restaurant one. :p

I would think CMPB @ Dempsey is a good place for chill outs,
drinks over pizzas, fries/chips (the chips with mash is a must-have).
And if you dont mind feeling a tad warm,
the outside seats are better, I feel.

Both waffle and brownie that were awfully delicious.

The August babies

Duck pizza with loads of mushrooms.
I thought the wyagu beef pizza there was better.

Mushroom creamy pasta.

The outside seating area.

Sake Mojito, the girls' drinks.

I'm super loving the black/white blazer manufactured by Haute Hangers.
Love every single bits of this jacket,
from the slightly structured puff shoulder design, to the cool lil gold bow pin.

What's better than just pulling over a shirt dress in a cool dusty pink shade for the weekends,
makes moving around exceptionally comfortable, and not looking too casual at the same time.
Me like!

Rise and Shine.
Hotel checked out was 11am, and weather wasn't at all the best on a Sunday morning.
It was raining heavily a couple of hours before dawn,
and it was drizzling in the morning.
Together with Mummykins, we took a walk at the sky garden before we bid goodbye to the place,
and we were literally freezing with the cold breeze.

A bright turquoise dress by Pearlavish for the Sunday morning,
a colour that immediately brightens up the rest of your day.
Simple, with a bit of ruffles, and easy without much accessories, me like!

Lunch at TAK PO @ Chinatown was superb,
great dim sum, if you haven tried it.

Had a bit of rest at home before we set off in the late afternoon for my cousin's baby shower.
Look at the cute lil Raynise and I thought the headband was super cool.

Peekas for the afternoon.

My next favourite bandaged skirt by Pearlavish once again, (thank you!)
Love this skirt because it's extremely versatile and would spice up the outfit with just a simple top.
Will get more if there are more colours available!

And the details are kinda unique.

Daddykins and Raynise.

Awww.

Mummygranny and that's her brother, Raygen.

Vel's Mobster Birthday party at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) in this huge suite
the day before yesterday was totally AWESOME!

The theme was Mafias (in Chanel),
and it was absolutely amazing to see everyone go all out to dress up for the theme,
looking real stunning and different.
I am awaiting for the peeks and will blog again!

Speaking about MBS, after leaving in wee hours after the party on Friday night,
Im back to MBS yesterday for a stayover with my family,

Walked around this new hotel and had a great dinner at Imperial Treasure,
and I love it.
Everything here is clean (i hope they will maintain it as it goes by) and posh.
You feel like you are overseas here, geez.

Pictures of the night!

Reached MBS in my structured white denim dress specially designed by Megagamie,
the cutting fits well and the material is a lil stretchy, really comfortable moving around.
Checked into the room and its more spacious as I thought it would be for a 2-pax room!

The check in time was only 3pm, pretty late as compared to normal hotels though.

Exiting the lift at 57th storey

Greeted by beds and a huge pool with a splendid view.

The view from Sky Garden, magnificent.

Sweets

Back to the room to change to my dinner dress!

Specially by Megagamie too, and its a perfect dress, came in time for a good dinner with the family,
the smooth material and the flare skirt bottom are two highlights of this exclusive manufactured dress by them,
took quite a while to choose my favourite colour outta the choices!

A month into school and I need to run faster!

Taking more modules than I should so that I can graduate faster,
so I can totally sense the sleepless nights coming along the way.

I caught a few movies recently, expandables and step-up 3,
and both were great though I prefer step up 3.
Just a bit on the post-movie star gaze for a while,
I thought the two main leads look real good in the movie,

Rick Malambri & Sharni Vinson

Rick Malambri is married, and his wife is gorgeous.

On a side note, guess what's in town…
I got myself an IPHONE 4!

Weeeeee, finally, after a long wait from the 3Gs to 4.
 

I got myself a black 32G black one,
but I kinda like the white one though.

And to be honest, the reception is kinda a problem,
though i do hear some mentioned that it works fine, but some mentioned otherwise.
But they said the case helped so I have downloaded the "case program" from the app store,
and got myself a free case. in case you haven, go get it now!!

Guess what's in town next?
Here're some summer outfits that are love for the weekends!

Absolutely a pleasure to chill over coffee on a afternoon with your laptop, surfing & relaxing.
Yellow summery dress that brightens up the afternoon too,
love the layered design at the skirt part and the complimentary belt (im a fan of belts!),
all thanks to The Tinsel Rack.

Available at The Tinsel Rack too, Jackets and blazers are no doubt the "hottest" thing on earth,
yes, i meant hottest favourites.
To-die-for Khaki colour still, yes yes YES!

Back to Taiwan, here's the Day 3 of our trip.

All dressed up at the start of the day and ready to tour the place.
Our itinerary was planned to go to Zhong Xiao Fu Xing and Shi Da Ye Shi (Shi Da Night Market),
which is near that area.

Shawn commented that poots looks like bob-the-builder,
and I thought that was cute, poots!
 

Yay, love the headband i got from asos!

The geeky specs and the hat which poots got from shi lin night market.

A picture to tweet and off we go!

Tweeeeeting.

Our usual spot for the first batch of outdoor photos.

As we walked to Xi Men Station.

Our almost daily routine there was to get a huge cup of bubble tea to start the day.
Passing through the hustle and bustle of ximending streets to reach 50 lan.

California Fitness

Just like KOI, waiting for our drinks.

Satisfied girls.

We took the train to Taipei Main Station before changing to the other line,
and conveniently, it was only a couple of stops to reach Zhong Xiao Fu Xing from there.

 

This place is known for all the high-class shopping malls,
such as the SOGO (which is like Singapore's Takashimaya),
and accompanied by restaurants and shops.

Walking towards SOGO
 

We took the outdoor route than the underpass to see the streets.

Hang Ten looks real classy there.

Spotted SOGO!

The only picture i have of the inside of SOGO.
Was informed that pictures are not allowed there,
and well, it looks just like Takashimaya,
but there are a couple of brands which are not available in Singapore like Jill Stuart Cosmetics.
 

Chanel, no girls will ever reject Chanel.

We decided to have a good lunch instead of street food this very day,
and settled at Ding Tai Feng after hearing that it is way better than Singapore's.

 

 

 

 
Food was good but I think that the standard of theirs and Singapore's is comparable,
not much difference but price was quite worth it given the amount of dishes we ordered.
NT 1041 = SGD 45 for the three of us.

We went over to TAI DA, which is the place where the Tai Da University is located at.
It is known for the place where all the students go for shopping and hang out after school!
 

Bicycles (and motorcycles), definitely the most common mode(s) of transport.

Heading over to the traffic junction to cross over.

We didn't spend much time there as what we saw there were available everywhere,
such as the night markets and all.

So we decided to  hop over to the Shi Da Night Market instead,
since night markets are one of the highlights of Taiwan.
We reached and this was the first shop we saw, looking good..

 
but prices of clothes are exorbitant! Way too expensive. -.-

 
Walking into the main part of the streets
 

weeee, here comes the shopping and food spreee

I would say this night market has more guy stuff,
and shawn bought a lot more shoes, berms and tops here.
While waiting for Shawn…

<3

Our dinner for the night.

all the barbeque and fried food,
some tasted good but in overall, not one of the best bbq food though.

Something like ice kachang,
but its filled with two choices of our fillings, nata de coco, and pearls.

And it was home sweet home.

Wooo you are gonna love this, if you love discounts!! :p

I mean, who doesn't love discounts, and furthermore,
enjoying the same deal as your friends & family but yet you are paying much lesser.

I know a lot of restaurants have credit cards' discounts,
and many a time, you will be discussing who has the various credit cards to settle the bill first within your group gatherings,
and now, if you are someone who:

1. Does not like to carry credit cards around (because of higher possibility to spend more)
2. Does not have the respective cards to enjoy discount at some places always
3. Does not own a credit card yet

FRET NOT.
Just at the tips of your finger, you can easily, conveniently obtain GREAT discounts at your hot favourite places,
just simply at TIP-IT! (click on the picture below to go into their website)

You might probably be wondering what is TIP-IT about at this moment,
and here's something I got from their website that will let you understand it right away.

TIP-IT is a website that introduces that latest happening discounts around,
and keep you in the loop of where are the special offers.
The above is an example of a "TODAY'S DEAL" of what they have just for you!

The great thing about them is not only food places, or rather, not only a category of promotions,
but they have a dedicated team to constantly source the whole island for great restaurants, spas, bars, clubs and shops.
Definitely an all-rounder for discounts and latest haps in Singapore. :p

And just like booking air-tickets,
i bet a lot of us frequent the airlines website to check out for cheap air fares in due to spot one to go on a holiday,
and air fares change accordingly to different days and timings etc,
here at TIP-IT, you can spot places to go for birthday dinner gatherings (or places that you already want to go),
and get discounts for that specific restaurant at TIP-IT site in return for a confirmation deal that can be enjoyed in the near future!

Absolutely no harm to just sign up and have an account with them,
with no obligations and get updated instantly with the up-to-date new promotions!
You might be craving for a manicure or a spa and just nice a uber great promotion came up in time,
you never know.

Here're more information about TIP-IT:

To bring you as many great deals and help you save as much money as possible!

ENJOY SHOPPING FOLKS!
