Timbre @ The Arts House

18th July 2015















Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim friends. I seldom have Malay friends thus I dont get a chance to go for Raya visiting but that's alright, I spent my public holiday with Boyfriend's Secondary Friends chilling at Timbre and grabbing their DUCK PIZZAAAA!!! OH MY GOD, I must have missed that alot and lot.

 It was a chilling night listening to boy-band playing, hitting their instruments and judging at one of the band mate who was trying really hard to hit/ slam the beat box. I guess she tried really hard to get the grove but her actions was too glamorous that the surrounding people felt awkward for her. She did it with her legs wide open too which is a little obscene to be seen.

The songs played were all English which I anticipated some Chinese songs to sing along. But anyway, it was Daniel's belated birthday so we pranked on him by dedicating some love messages to him which was on screen in public. He definitely felt embarrassed when he saw the messages on the tv screen. The boy-band even invited him up on stage to sing a song but he was too shy to do it.

Food was definitely a plus point and I was lucky to catch Firework over at Clake Quay. It was directly infront of my eyes when it exploded which means I got it on live. I was even thrilled to be able to watch it with my loved ones who was sitting next to me throughout.

We went off not paying a single cents because the staff told us that someone has foot the bill and our table counter was closed. We were shocked to hear that and thought that it was a prank by the staffs. How can someone be so generous to pay for $238 bill? But indeed 4 of the staffs went to check on the system and was affirmed that our bills was settled. 

Leaving Timbre in dismay and everyone was accusing one another of paying the bill without letting one another to know. But we closed the case and went off to Playnation for our board games. In between the games, Timbre staff called Daniel and accused that we haven't settle our bill. Of course he did explained the whole story and the staff didn't persude any further but politely asked us to drop by sometime to settle it.

Well... This whole thing was still a myth when we dont even know how it happened but it felt so good to leave the place when you heard that someone has paid the bill. HAHA but nevertheless, it was a good "July day".

Till then.








Commissioning ball 93/13

The day every lady is counting down to especially when you have an officer boyfriend.

I could remember how his social night was a big feat, watching him march and looking all suave for his commissoining parade was remarkable too. The finale was still his commissioning ball, which officially marks the end of his stay in OCS, 9 months of sweat and hardwork, I guess he deserves a round of applause. Of course for myself, picking a dress, hunting for matching heels and bag was what that occupied most of my mind! The most regret was not heading to the salon to hair-do my hair and also to paint my nails ( rushing like mad to prepare after my work) as you can see my teary weary eyes.


I got my outfit on Thursday- Its a last minute buy. Lucky mds collection saved me from travelling one place to another. I got both my tops and bottom from MDS collection. Heels from Charles and Keith and my clutch has been with me since Chinese New Year. All set and lets go!




The venue was at swissotel merchant court, not really a grand hotel ( I would expect to be at Marina Bay Sand). Hah, just kidding.
We arrived a little early though we thought that we will be pretty late. The guests have to be seated before 6.30pm but Boyfriend and I reached nearly 7pm. Lucky they have photo booth to save our day, We literally killed our time by taking pictures from the photo booth. I guess the program got a little delayed, by 7.30pm, the committees started to chase all the people in. With almost everyone seated as the event was about to start! 


Quickly and quietly making our way to the respective seats, I was bummed when there was a huge book nicely packed which rested on my seat. I thought the seat was reserved and there was no place for me. Turns out, each book was allocated to an officer. On the table, was a mini sword model - engraved with his name on the plate. And what I received was 2 small bottles of lotion/ body wash from bodyshop.


The whole light of the ceremony was on the perfomers. Basically, it lines up with officers singing and dancing to the music. 


A 4-course menu was served on that night. Literally thought that it would be a buffet style but fret not, its fine dining style ):
After paying $350 for this ball (definitely burnt bf's pocket!), we expected something decent to wolf down for the night. Not like the food is not up to a standard, its actually food prepared Jamie's Italian resturant. But can't they be more generous to our food? So small portion!

Appetiser was served first with court bouilion poached tiger prawns with rocket leaves, passion fruit caviar and raspberry drizzled with walnut vinaigrette.


Soup was a bowl of wild mushroom veloute served with garlic crisp.



We were given two choices of our main course. With Pan-seared steak of salmon, served with potato au gratin, glazed carrot, tomato confit, pencil tip asparagus, kaffir lime beurre blanc drizzled with herb infused olive oil.

 OR With grilled marinated chicken breast served with potato au gratin, glazed carrot, tomato confit, pencil tip asparagus and sundried tomato jus.

Last but not least, their dessert that I'm looking forward to. Chilled brulee cheese cake with lemon curd and lemon sorbet.


Managed to ask one of Bf's friend to snap a picture of us.




Being your officer's partner meant having to be his camera woman too! I watched as each of them
gave bearly farewell hugs because they probably wouldn't be meeting up that often once they are posted to
different units. Of course, we managed to go back home with a group photo- boyfriend's mates sitting on the same table and with their +1 date.



And guess who I saw on that day too? My dearest LEENA!! She was invited by her friend too. So elated to see her around, at least someone who I know. Heh.


 All in all, i had a good break, a good dinner and a good time at the ball! More importantly, i had a wonderful company and a meaning spending of time with Zhi wei! Yeah. to me, nothing beats spending time with people and doing things together. And I'm glad I had this honour to be his date at this occasion and celebrate together with him! Congrats once again! And just want to say thanks for that night! 
Will always be there for you.

Till then.

Full House Signature Cafe (Clarke Quay)

Up with another post that I promised I will be blogging about. The place that both of us had dined at.



As to continue from my stay-cation post: After touring around the hotel, we headed back to our hotel to rest our feet and had a changed before training down to clarke quay for our dinner.

















I was googling for new restaurants in Singapore to try and I happened to chance upon a good review for Fullhouse Signature. Their lovely decorated cheerful theme was so beautiful and I had to bring my boyfriend down for dinner. As some of you may know, there was a Fullhouse Theme Cafe at Hotel Rendezvous, however it has closed down. But rest assured, they are now re-opened at one of Singapore's most popular nightspot at Clarke Quay, just opposite Central with better ambience, better management and better food. And also, I was strolling through group on and guess what? I saw voucher of full house cafe, $50 cash voucher whereby I have to pay for $24. With no hesitation, I purchased it at a fast go. A dinner treat for my boyfriend.

 Fullhouse Signature brings new dimensions to wedding and dining experience, with an edge in creating a dream home for all. It caters to family gatherings, high tea sessions, relaxing meet-ups, and the showcase of the arts. It now encompasses a wider and more creative range of exciting happenings than its previous cafe and is eager to hose all sorts of family events, business meetings, alumni activities, product launching, or just a gathering of close friends. Consider this your home for any activity or program you wish to organize.


 Stepping into the restaurant, I was taken back by how detailed they had put into decorating this place. It was so dreamy with a Victorian and Korean vibe! I'll let the photos do the talking.



The four characters of the Fullhouse family - Thomas (dad), Tracy (mum), Tony (son) and Tiffani (daughter) plays a huge role in the inspiration of the menu change every time they travel around the world for their annual vacation. Thus, explaining why the 4 Fullhouse Signature restaurants have their very own unique menus.





There is a corner in the restaurant that displayed the wedding gown for sale. You can try on the wedding gown and purchase it if you like. This is my first time seeing wedding gowns being displayed in a restaurant. This concept is definitely innovative.



























 There is also a stage in the “living room” where you can hold small party, solemnisation, corporate events or other events and gatherings


















 The menu of Fullhouse Signature. Looking classy but filled with surprise inside! Happy family! The first page of the menu is with all the comic characters. It is like telling you "Welcome to my house"!
 Beside showing what food they have over there, they provide with recipe too.



HAHAHA. Enough of posing? Lets start with the food verdict. Initially I was worried about how the food will taste like. You know, a pretty looking restaurant normally comes with a 'price'. But WOW, Fullhouse Signature serves pretty decent food.
Calamansi Grape with Green Apple Jelly ($7)
This is one of the choice for people who love sour drinks. Taste very refreshing too.



Crunchy Cheese Sticks ($11)
"Deep fried cheese sticks coated with crispy breadcrumbs"
Don't be deceived by the melted cheese oozing out of these cheese sticks when they are first presented to you. You wouldn't find anymore of those rich yellow goodness flowing out from your sticks when cut / bite into them. But hold up! That's totally fine! It tasted great because the cheese was not too overwhelming and the crispy breadcrumbs. Who doesn't love breadcrumbs?! Really enjoyed these!



Grilled Chicken Chop with Raisin Black Pepper ($25)
Though not as impressive as some of the other dishes, this definitely became the favourite dish on our table! The grilled chicken chop is tender, juicy and the raisin black pepper sauce really compliments the chicken. It’s also resting on a bed of mashed potatoes that I like too, hehe so this is definitely the dish that I would most likely order at Fullhouse Signature Singapore at my next visit!

Banana Paradise ($9)
No matter how full I am, there will always be room for dessert. The dessert consists of fried banana pairing up with homemade vanilla ice-cream. It made me think of goreng pisang but their taste are absolutely different. I preferred the banana paradise, the fried banana is sweet and crunchy.











Fullhouse Signature has quite a big space, allowing big gatherings for ROM, wedding, birthday party and other celebrations. I might consider holding my ROM here. Hahaha just kidding (so expensive please). This place is also romantic for a night out with your partner, celebrating anniversaries seems to be a good idea as well. 



And WAIT, did I mention that they have live band on the stage itself? Both bf and I enjoyed listening to their English and Mandarin songs and began to sing along with them. Sounds like we are having our mini Karaoke session.
