Blessed Union

Two friends of mine recently got married, and I was happy to be able to share in their joy!

Attended the beautiful wedding mass in the morning at Holy Family (I love church weddings!), and their dinner was an intimate affair at Skyve in the evening.

I was one of the few who went date-less, but it seems my friends provided me a ‘date’ seated next to me at table – the always fun (and funny!) Paul Foster.

Singapore is amazingly small, and I find that I have many friends separated by far less than 6 degrees. What I’ve also realised is that I discover a lot of these connections at weddings, festive parties and baby showers!

Some of the other crazy friends at table!

Here’s the girl with the even-louder voice, and waaaay-crazier laugh. These days also known as that other annoying person who giggles and groans through difficult moves in yoga class (heh, sorry, Elaine!).

Congrats, Jade & Nat! <3

How to Pair Shoes | ChicPeek Ep 14

White on White

Had Sunday brunch with some of my favourite girls recently at Maison Ikkoku. It was a blisteringly hot day, so I decided to throw on a white on white ensemble to keep cool. Went for mass before that, and while I generally *try* not to wear shorts to church (some people think it improper; I say it’s a question of what shorts and how you style it so it doesn’t look sloppy), these are ‘skorts’ – so I decided the piece counted as more of a skirt than shorts, haha.

I am not much a fan of western breakfasts; am super Singaporean in that I love my meepok dry, mee siam and wanton mee best for breakfast, but I made an exception for the girls (and for Maison Ikkoku)! It lived up to its hype – one of the yummiest scrambled eggs I’ve had in this country.

French Toast with Fresh Berries – great if you prefer a sweet, rather than a savoury, breakfast!

Not an Eggs ben kinda girl, but I have to admit that T’s choice wasn’t half bad.

I recommend making reservations – it was packed when we went around 1pm on a Sunday!

Non-suits & Bermudas (Part II) | ChicPeek Ep 13

Red & White

So this beautiful country turned 48 on 9th August, and the girls and I had an impromptu celebration at A’s place! She cooked up a feast for us while we…ate. Haha. L brought ice-cream (to go with her home-made brownies!) and I brought wine (and an appetite!).

A believes in making stuff from scratch – her seafood patties were super yums! Here’s when I was being super unhelpful in the kitchen – documenting and stealing food, but not doing any actual baking or cooking.

Her mum had her own party, and she was sweet to send over some home-made vadai our way! They were chockablock with prawns, and were really savoury and tasty!

Theme was red and white – seems not everyone took it quite as literally…

Happy 48th birthday, Singapore! To many wonderful years ahead.
