I cannot believe it absolutely, but May is over, and we are halfway through 2015 - and like a roller coaster ride, you cannot look back. You can only look ahead, at what looms overhead, or what falls there would be - what kind of plunges you would take, as the heart lurches forward for the challenges.
I started my May Day working :)
Okay, so it was business discussion cum shopping, before lunch / brunch with I-forgot-who-for-the-moment, sorry. OKay, you really have to pardon me because I am still typing away at 3.56AM on yet another long weekend, trying to clear off the daily bucket lists I have planned for these 3 days - I don't want to leave anything undone for the next day.
There were some splendid events that took place in May besides busy-ness, fret not. Mother's Day and the Mom's birthday fall in May, so we had the annual combined celebration. The chosen venue this year was Oasis Bay Restaurant @ Toa Payoh (*surprise, surprise!)
The long, circular restaurant situated in serene, almost-enchanting Toa Payoh Park with its murky lake, bridges and trees that resemble willows, was a hidden gem on its own. On top of that, there used to be another seafood restaurant situated in the place where Oasis Bay has now replaced - we used to go there for dinner rather often, when the Dad was still around. So, for reminisce's sake, we decided to come try this new restaurant that sits in the place of the wound-up restaurant we used to go.
May also signifies The Beau's and my anniversary - the ninth this year (9th), wow time flies. A great part of my youth has been dedicated to him! Ok, so the fiancé and I headed to Stellar @ One Altitude for dinner and drinks - a really romantic, charming and sophisticated restaurant in the heart of the CBD itself. The blog entry will be up soon (I kept thinking I had published it, only to search one big round and found it back in my Drafts in the other blog!)
Finally, for occasions-wise, there was also the wedding of a lovely cousin, so we got to play catchup with lots of the maternal relations and cousins. It is always happy to be part of a large family - extended or not, especially when they happen to be gorgeous!
Workwise, well, the main-course and sides are equally busy but I love the rush. I am becoming a nerd right now by learning to dabble in Information Technology and the different aspects of it. Trust that it is still at the basic level, but I have transcended past the basic HTML reading and a little site-building stage. In the past, the thought of having to touch these made my feet turn cold.
Another potential partnership is upcoming, and I cannot wait for the next Friday's discussion.

Next up, it has been a fabulously fun month as well - lots of catching up with dear friends in which I got to go back to Beer Market for their awesome luncheon meat fries, revisiting Lantern Bar for their drinks and food, revisiting LeVel 33, etc, all in the name of my post-birthday celebrations or close friends' birthday celebrations! Look out for reviews at this site here.

Then there was a Lancôme party in which I got more door-gifts, replenished certain skincare products and learned some fabulous makeup tips from national makeup artist Lina Tock. Wait - I also enjoyed food tasting and getting up close and personal with Chef Peter Kuruvita at The Kitchen Table at W Hotel (Sentosa Cove) - always glad to be back at the astoundingly beautific hotel and Sentosa Cove!
Finally, some of my shopping loot (despite the promise to STOP buying clothes till I've rid the current overflowing batches) - a collared shirt-dress with white "tie" detail, a MaxMara black dress with gold buttons and interesting lines, and a casual long black dress with gray denim top.
To end it all up, May has been a rather good month and I look forward to more good months to come. Thank you, all the powers there be, for the blessings!
Thank you dears, for reading my Site, and please do continue to stay tuned for this one-a-month blog!
