My cousin and I decided to begin on a lil venture and finally, we have put the pieces all together and the website is done.

It's called (www.mycandytable.com) ,
and I suppose the name does say it all on what is this venture about, and yes- its candy buffet!

We source out & home-make some of the unique candies/chocolates/ biscuits/ cupcakes/ everything desserts just for the candy buffet,
in hopes to create a uniquely different kind of buffet for your guest and all sorts of events –
hen's night, birthdays, baby showers, ROM, weddings, company events, school events etc.

The candy buffet allows you to do customization, and actually, we will provide our services of creating themes and conceptualizing for ya!

My cousin have had her experience doing conceptualized candy buffets for her kids, (yes two lovely adorable kids) as well as for friend's birthdays and kids as well.
She had a corner with this candy buffet & cakes apart from the usual food catering, and we all loved it to the max!
I am sure it will be one that will completely amaze your guests upon their arrival.

Please support by joining the & mailing list,
cuz we are creating more unique items/concepts and you might want to know what are they later!

Some photos to show you what we do:

Yes! We designed the wrappers for instance, the chocolate bars in one of the pictures above,
just provide with your logo, picture, words etc, we can customized them and wrap for ya

I got my golf kicks!
After so many months of golf lesson, I think it's time to get myself a pair of golf shoes.

I always think those lil things happened for a reason,
and the thing was that my golf lessons are not really consistent but I had one yesterday morning.
If I didn't go for my golf lesson,
I would know that there is this Adidas clearance sale happening at expo since friday for three days, until today. :p

The clearance sale has items that totally are at a steal price,
so no complains going all the way to expo and do hurry go if you want to get something!

Showing you my loots.

My new golf shoes <3

Got running shoes for momsie- very lightweighted pair and perfect for exercising.

Love this Golf shorts and the taylormade visor.

A complimentary item upon leaving the place. love the colour and the huge logo!

*Structured keyhole collar dress from pearlavish, wore this very comfy dress for the entire day out and shopping at the adidas fair!

I met the girls for a dinner night out at Watami, and we had a very special reason for the meet up too!
My dear friend, haslinda is having her wedding dinner two weeks from now,
and how exciting that can be!

I suppose she's the first girlfriend amongst us all to get hitched,
so it gives us even more excitement to be planning for her.
We are now planning her hen's night first, and will keep you guys informed what did we do for the night! ;p

Linny in the right corner, and the four bridesmaids of hers! <3

*Donned with a mango top and a white flowy skiry from pearlavish, together besties – apple and linny <3

Before I returned the rented graduation robe to the school,
I decided to make full use of it and brought it to my grandpa's to take some snap shots with the extended family.

here's a decent shot of us. i'm second in line to grad!

and the funny one…. and gosh, stop looking at my cousin david's muscles please!!

the bodybuilder, cousin david.

my beloved aunt who is very closed to our family as well.

Anyway, I was pretty much into baking the past couple of months,
and given that, Momsie got inspired to do some baking every week since a month ago.
She was mastering the art of baking the pandan cake and told me her goal is for the pandan cake to taste like my granny's,
and yes, finally she got the perfect recipe and yes, i have been having pandan cakes for the many past weekends!! heh
Time to share with the relatives!

*Wearing pearlavish's lil red dress, getting a lil pose-y with momsie's pandan cake!
 

Giving the cooooll loook~
(please ignore the waterbottle hahah)

It was a helluva fun-filled day today at the outdoor shoot with the powerpack LB girls & the privileged three of us, (Constance, Zianna and myself),
to be donning on what's going to be launched in the next upcoming exciting collection!
 
We went to a secret place and it was kinda freaky but yet something was just very alluring about the place,
despite the countless of mosquito's bites on my legs (UGH! but it seemed like only jie and I got bitten) and our very known Singapore humid weather.
Nonetheless, it was a great time spent with about 10 of us girls, followed by a dinner to celebrate Ginny's birthday at P.S Cafe.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINNY! sorry i couldn't stay long, hope you have had great fun!

We took a gazillian behind-the-scenes pictures, and even until my camera was totally outta batt,
but well, the full range of photos are not to be disclosed till then. :p

You wouldn't want to miss the behind-the-scenes, and look at the very cooperative paparazi team!!

I'm sure the collection will be up soon, so stay tuned!

Here're the new OOTD!

*Am a huge fan of anything-boho, and here's one of my favourite boho tops in the wardrobe- Countryside Blouse in Vanilla White by ClarityCloset!

*Nothing can go wrong with a this Embroidery Dress in Coral Delight by ClarityCloset,
it's effortless pretty with its embroideries and definitely a great colour to go with!

Bet you have seen this, and this has gotta be one of the much privileged shoot i went for,
given that it's shot by lightedpixels and we were donning on an awesome LB debut bridesmaid collection. <3

The shoot was taken at one of the most common venues for wedding photography – Botanical Gardens,
and weather was pretty warm under the scorching sun, but that's the kind of sun that makes photos beautiful..

natalia was the bride for the shoot!

Got this piece of dress from my dear friend, Eileen's online shopping site - PopCherryCrush,
and it's one of my favourite pieces in the wardrobe now!

I'm always a great fan of prints, especially pretty prints just like this dress.
Definitely one which can be worn for corporate or casual.
It doesn't come with the belt but I decided to accessorize a lil,
but it's perfect without any belt at all too as the cutting itself does enhance the waist line too!

Pop over to PopCherryCrush for more pretty prints dresses, and you might see something you like!

 

I think Thai food has gotta be one of my highly sought after food almost ALL the time.
The beef noodles soup, minced pork meat with basil leaf (my favourite outta all!), phad thai and thai olive rice are totally to-die-for,
and at the rate im feasting on these, i think i might spend money to attend cooking lessons and learn to cook thai food one day. heh

So I am constantly around in Singapore searching for thai food and I think to those of you guys who are great fans of thai food as well (ok or food),
i will share my favourite places, def not as comprehensive as food blogs, but i do think i'm quite a foodie as them muahaha.

anyways, i came back to this place called Jane Thai Food @ orchard towers (yes, all the thai girls with Caucasians walking around, yes yes.. kinda sleazzyyyy) for thai food,
but didn't think minced pork with basil was as good as the first time.
Still, i think i might go back again to give it another try cuz some of the dishes were indeed quite good.
One thing good is, they operate to 4AM!!!
for the club crowd, but well, if you are around town and wanna have supper but sick of rochor tau huay or stingray etc,
you know where else u can go!

But some of you guys might not like it, cuz its situated right in front of a club,
smoky and quite a view of thai girls with curvacious figure walking around..

here's june love it everytime we catch up, tonnes to talk from A-Z.

and thai ice milk tea is a must have too!

it's a box of 8 mini mooncakes.

Champagne truffle.
I thought it was pretty good, the champagne taste is obvious but not too much,
and after a few seconds of savoring it, you can taste the blend of truffle gradually.
Good work, though the skin could be a lil more chewy than powdery!

Dark chocolate crunchy pearls.
Definitely crunchy, but oops, this has the most lotus paste in it,
so i wouldn't comment much on this cuz im not a fan of lotus paste.

Espresso Truffle flavour.
This is my second favourite, love the bittersweet taste of the espresso taste!

Salted Caramel.
okay, nuff said with just its name.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE!

A box of 8 mini snowskin mooncakes from Jewels Artisan Chocolate costs around $43 if I am not wrong.

if you are interested to get them, head down to Taka mooncake fair or visit their outlet:

Orchard Central
181 Orchard Road #02-31/32
12 Aug to 11 Sept 2011

Takashimaya Square
Basement 2 Ngee Ann City

P.S:
Saw the raffles hotel mini mooncakes, and a box of 8 costs $60.
I have asked around and they all say nothing beats the Raffles hotel champagne truffles so yes, I am so gonna try it soon!

Yayy i finally sorted out and edited the peektures for the CHURP CHURP gathering that happened around 2 weeks ago!

Well, if you have not heard before of what's Churp churp, I am sure you definitely heard of Twitter!
Churpchurp is the community that rewards you when you share various events, campaigns & updates via your Twitter Account.

Sounds skeptical about it at first?
To those who are, yes i was the same as you, and kinda puzzled about it at first and was thinking, "really? so good? how true is it??"
Until i got myself an account and received CASH whenever I participated in their campaigns and well,
turns out its an awesome thing because i get to know of the latest promotions yet earning cash at the same time!
Anyway,  free account so I was also thinking, why not just sign up and try!
You can read more about them .

YES YES, so it went from awesome to even more awesome when I was invited to perform magic at their first community event!
Along with three more bloggers/twitterers – qiuting, ladyironchef, jessica, (ahhhhh, im the most junior twitterers and definitely feeling very privilege! :p),
we were tasked to be trained with a magic trick prior to the event to perform to the audiences.
Anybody is invited and the majority of the crowd are fellow twitterers toooo! so exciting.

The event was held at this place around bukit timah, called binjai park.
