I was here.

Was invited by EeHui to attend the opening ceremony of a pottery exhibition which showcases works of her teacher, her mother, her sister and herself. Each pot is a masterpiece. All of them were beautifully crafted. EeHui's works are simple but creative. I particularly like the one with the funny expressions.

Glad I took some time to dress up and make up before I went over. Almost all the guests were dressed in formal wear. Didn't expect the event to be such a grand one so I was dressed quite casually. Luckily, I didn't wear jeans like I had planned to earlier on.

Was stopped by celebrity wannabe, Steven Lim outside Paragon. When I saw him, I just thought he looked kinda familiar. Took me a while to realise who he is. I was quite scared of him and shunned him. Quickly ran into Paragon so that he couldn't get me. HaHa~! Don't know what he was doing there though.

Must thank EeHui for the special invitation to the exhibition. It was an eyeopener. We had a good chat too. The first time after so many months. EeHui, I miss you lots! I need to see more of you to compensate me for your no-show at the last gathering! HaHa~!

For those interested in pottery art, you may want to visit the exhibition which is held at Paragon level 5. It is opened from 11AM to 9PM daily till 6th December 2006.

My first practical driving lesson!

Woke up super early this morning to get ready for my first practical driving lesson. Was so excited that I couldn't sleep the previous night. Went to Yio Chu Kang MRT station to wait for my instructor, Mr Ng, at exactly 8AM. From there, we drove to Lentor, where I get some hands-on. Learnt how to negotiate gradual and sharp bends (though I am still not very good at that), how to make an U-turn, how to brake, how to control the speed of the vehicle and most importantly, how to drive. Mr Ng was very patient with me. He did not scold me when he was correcting my mistakes. Looking forward to my next lesson, which is on this Friday. =)

Met Joanne at Yio Chu Kang MRT station at around noon time. She had to pick up some baking stuff for her mom at The Adelphi before we go to Vivo City for our shopping spree. We were supposed to alight at City Hall MRT station but ended up alighting at Raffles Place MRT station. Only realised that we alighted at the wrong station when we couldn't find the place at Raffles Place. Took the train back to City Hall after seeking help from the staff at the passenger service counter.

Had lunch at Funan I.T. Mall after picking up the baking stuff. Ordered a sambal sotong rice set but it looked and tasted more like green curry sotong briyani. Couldn't finish the food 'coz it was too yucky.

Took the train from City Hall to Harbourfront. Vivo City is a huge place! Couldn't really remember where we went and where we didn't. We were there for a whole three hours before we left. Found a few pretty tops. Bought two tank tops with diamantes from Esprit, a pretty blouse from Mango and an empire top from Forever 21. Finally found something I like at Forever 21. There are more variety of clothes at Forever 21 in Vivo City as compared to the one in Wisma Atria.

I really enjoyed myself today. Have to thank Joanne for walking around with me the whole afternoon even though her shoes were biting her feet. Best friends forever! Love ya!

Singapore Expo - Asia Pacific Food Fair and Singapore Home and Design 2006 exhibition

Cancelled WuDong's tuition for this afternoon just to go to the Singapore Expo for the Asia Pacific Food Fair. Though there were many cars queueing outside the full carpark, the traffic was very well controlled. We were able to find a parking space within minutes, much to our surprise.

Saw the Singapore Home and Design 2006 exhibition at hall 6A and walked in to take a look. SsangYong was having a promotion for its new MPV, ActYong. Daddy and I were immediately drawn over by the cool exterior of the vehicle. While we were busy examining the car, mommy spotted Bryan Wong at the neighbouring booth. We were also told by the salesman that Bryan's new car was parked right there in hall 6A! It is a sporty red ActYong. Suits him perfectly.

Went on to view Felicia Chin's dream home for some interior design ideas. It is a dream home designed specially for Felicia Chin. I was impressed by the smart designs. Small but space efficient. Shan't elaborate more. If interested, do make a trip to the showroom at the Singapore Expo hall 6A.

Moved on to the Asia Pacific Food Fair after the Singapore Home and Design 2006 exhibition. Daddy met his old neighbour, the lady boss of Hai's at the Hai's booth. It was she who recognised daddy and asked him if he remembered her. A very cute auntie. Her son is kinda cute too. ^_^

There were lots of people at the fair and I was hit a few times by rude visitors. It was suffocating in there. The exhibitors were not as interesting as the ones at the last food fair. Didn't buy much. Didn't even wanna try the samples.

Ended up liking the Singapore Home and Design 2006 exhibition more than the Asia Pacific Food Fair which was my main purpose for going to the Singapore Expo. Really disappointed with the standard of the food fair this time.
