Farewell dinner & party for Pooh Bear & Marta Part 2 @ Post Bar & BOne

And as a continuation to my last post, after dinner @ St Julien, we adjourned for drinks @ Post Bar, Fullerton Hotel. I liked the ambience there. It was pretty cool to hang out. We sat near the entrance, and Marta ordered a round of Caipirinha for us. Pooh Bear, Marta, Shiau Wen, Tweetie & Michelle were all just chit-chatting and gossiping (and cam-whoring of course!).





That's our Caipriniha

Tweetie was already on the other side of the globe



Aren't these 2 yummy? Sugar, I mean sugar!!!



Michelle's gone...


Similar pose as abv, but both Tweetie & Michelle are gone!


Pretty?

I think Michelle prettier!

Michelle & Tweetie's BJ!


Tweetie said Michelle likes the fabric of Charlie's shirt


But somehow, her expression... hmm...

After a couple of drinks, Marta suggested we club-hop to Marriott Hotel's BOne. The live band there was quite good. Music was great.

I remember they played Final Countdown, I like!!!

Oooh... Pooh Bear & Shiau Wen

Pooh Bear on the move!
Erm... Titanic???
Tweetie, what do you think you were doing?

LOL, this is really hilarious lah!


I think Tweetie has a habit of humping everyone she fancies! hehe,,,

But in my opinion, she's really sweet & a lot of fun



So is Michelle, really adorable

Overall, I think we had a great night that day. Food @ St Julien was great, the party after was also good fun. Although Marta shed tears as we parted and went separate ways after the party, but I'm sure we all wished her and Pooh all the best in their future endeavours. I hope we would have a chance to meet again in future, even if it's just a simple dinner and some drinks.

Best of luck guys!

Farewell Dinner for Pooh Bear & Marta part 1 @ St Julien

People come, people go. Changes in the organisation saw yet another set of people leaving us. This time, we had to say our goodbyes to Pooh & Marta.

Dinner was at a chic French restaurant called St Julien @ The Waterboat House, Fullerton. The place was quite packed. Quality of food was good. Selection of wines were also commendable. Ambience was not too bad. And the price was... Well, I didn't pay for it, hehehehe....

The 3 of us are always cam-whoring all over the place

Sawadeeka! Princess Carol is in Bangkok!

Yep! I am currently in the land of a thousand smiles. Will be here for 5 days till Sunday. Temperature here is a freaking 34 degrees celcius. HOT!

And well, I'm not sure if I have the time to go shopping... But still if anyone of you out there has tips on where to go, what to buy, pls drop me a line... I know someone has told me to go buy shoes (very cheap), and underwear (Triumph Bras....very very cheap)... clothes... fake designer stuff... and donuts! Anymore ideas? Hehehe....

OK, I'm starving, so I'm going out to have some nice dinner. Think I might skip the Tom Yam part since it's gonna be super spicy. But I'll try snap some pics and post later!

Will be right back!

2008 Norwegian Seafood Dinner

Woohoo... Was invited to this beautiful annual affair. The annual Norwegian Seafood Dinner. It was held at Swissotel The Stamford last Friday. A very grand, gala dinner.

More than 75 seafood courses featuring 20 different types of Norwegian fish and seafood were served to approx 800 guests (including me!). The Royal Norwegian Embassy and NBAS hosted the evening, while the Norwegian Seafood Export Council sponsored the seafood and the chefs. The Norwegian Ambassador H.E. Ms Janne Julsrud was present as well.

Without further ado, pls see below, mouth-watering, drool-worthy pics I managed while eating and talking at the same time...

Beautiful Ice-Carving showcasing delicious seafood

"Caviar"

KINGCRAB!!! And it's HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White Halibut. Very yummy!

Baked Trout. Nicely presented

Salmon & Halibut Tataki


Various smoked salmon & gravad laks



Boiled Crayfish


I was seated at table 37, 3rd row from the stage, next to the VIPs!


My 1st round. Too shy to pile up yet...

But after that, my second and third plates were just too much for the camera. Besides, the food was good, and I was too busy eating and chatting with the French guy next to me. Hahaha.... OK, he was the MD for at-sunrice. But he was telling us (me and some other ladies at our table) abt his stint at Ritz Carlton.

Arne Hjeltnes & me (He's a famous TV personality in Norway too)


Look at all those deserts!!!

Yes, I had some. Er... OK, more than some. OK, OK, I had more than the pic above!

Hahahaha, OK, I must say that those pics I posted above really didn't do justice to the event. It was far grander than what you see above. Imagine a huge ballroom with abt 800 very beautiful people, and abt 75 dishes of seafood presented in the most flattering manner one can ever imagine. Pity, although I'm known to multi-task fairly well, I was just simply too occupied with eating the best foods they had there and then. So too bad, not enough pics to show. But perhaps, if I get invited to next year's event again (I've been invited every year for as long as I can remember!), I'll try very hard to take more pics and still eat at the same time! Hehehehe.....

Busy March, biz trip to KL & a Dinner @ Le Saint Julien

We've just gone past CNY and started March not too long ago. But I realised that I am still as busy as before. Well, I did take a 10 day break immediately after CNY, and really did nothing except laze around, slept a lot, ate a lot, rested a lot and literally did nothing.


But as soon as my short vacation ended, I was whipped back to work and started on a long journey of endless work. Everyday was a different scene. It was very interesting that I could manage so many things at a go. Multi-tasking was the word. Many problems surfaced along the way, but as soon as I managed to get past one hurdle, I felt the satisfaction and the need to surpass the next.


One of my friends had said to me "You disappeared! I thought after CNY you should not be so busy." Well, in theory yes, after CNY I usually have more free time. But I guess, the nature of this industry, just doesn't allow me to predict when I'll be able to relax.

Anyway, I was in KL on Wednesday & Thursday for a short biz trip. Then on Friday, came back to a lot of work, and then Friday evening, had a beautiful dinner at Le Saint Julien, Waterboat House, The Fullerton. French cuisine it was. Beautiful place with fine food. Very expensive!!! It was meant to be a farewell dinner for Pooh Bear & Marta. After dinner, we went for a drink at Post Bar, Fullerton Hotel. Had 2 rounds of drinks and then decided to adjourn to b.one @ Marriot Hotel.

Well, I'll save the details for now. Need to catch some beauty sleep and I'll post pics when Tweetie uploads them. Hehehe....
