last sunday was awesome! I told b we were going to have picnic at sentosa. but boy was it not! a surprise 1st yr present on my part. so funny when he was reluctant to wear shoes to the beach. hahaha.

cut the story short, we ran around taking pictures and all. It’s was mighty fun despite the hot hot weather and small drizzle.

love the transformer ride I tell you! It’s super awesome! so real and mind blowing good.

cyclone rollar coaster did give me the giddy spells though. but I enjoyed it too! frankly speaking, I’ve ride the mother of all thrill rides. so this was not the ultimate. It’s pretty fun!

Audi Fashion Festival

And so I attend Parco Next Next and Cleo’s runway search event at Audi Fashion Festival yesterday. It was an eye opener truly. First and foremost, you don’t see THAT many fashionistas queuing on the streets of orchard do you?

Well, I was super psych seeing so many people dressing up in amazing outfits. Love it love it. I guess this is where you get to see WHY Singapore is the 8th fashion city.

Parco Next Next was rather interesting. Not mind blowing but there was some really good designs out there. I don’t particularly fancy the streetwear some designers showcased. Also, I love nat ho’s runway walk. Besides he’s a good looker!

Cleo’s runway search was fairly mediocre. Can’t expect much from amateur models I guess. But mygod, Sheila Sim was drop dead gorgeous on the runway. Love her!

AFS 2012

20120516-085251.jpg

so I attended the first day of Asia Fashion Summit 2012 yesterday. It was pretty rewarding actually. The speakers were mostly inspiring and they know their stuff well. Also they share ideas and knowledge that are required in the industry.

I find Christopher Burch really dynamic and interesting. I love his personality. He talks about how creating a mind blowing experience for his customer, who he calls ‘my girl’

And Arnault, really interesting point of view. He said there are too many boring stalls. So true. Lots of things are repetitive. And to standout one must truly be unique.

Also other points taken were that do not bring in designs based on what you like, your business will not survive. The product, yes it has to be different, but yet sellable to a certain extent.

And one said about changing rooms are important because that’s where we are vulnerable. How many times have you been to a changing room that has a gap between the curtains. Lol, food for thought!

One more thing, always always listen to your customers.

I guess it’s important to be positive always. whether you worry or not, the outcome will be the same. why not be happy? (: or like one of my lecturer says, start the day with a fantastic attitude!

yesterday I meet the lovely people for dinner! had fatboys and wafflelicious at Thomson.

no one complained about their fatboys burger! so I guess that’s good? I had caesar burger while justin’s fat bastard is just a massive two patties burger which he kept saying it’s awesome. lol. burgers range above $12-$15 and best part? no gst and service charge. good place to dine at!

dessert was at wafflelicious! too good waffles and ice cream I tell you. we tried cinnamon waffle and choco crunch and it really was very “MEH” too strong cinnamon taste in it. The best combo gotta be the banana waffle and dark choco! it’s heavenly much. latte ice cream is good too! $7+ for a set of waffles and ice cream. guarantee to make anyone happy!
