Rolls Royce Icon Tour

Thanks Rolls Royce for holding this Icon Tour at the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. This was the first time that I actually stepped inside Gardens by the Bay. Learnt more about the heritage and history and the fine art of car-making behind the world's most famous double Rs...certainly one of the most prestigious symbols in the world... 

Cool quote from the co-founder of Rolls Royce

The minimal skeleton showing the sturdiness of the chassis

Notice how the size of the famous logo has decreased over the years?

Rolls Royce Phantom...the staff from Rolls Royce took such a flattering photo of moi ;p

The majestic Phantom

Our friend was describing how his friend used to unscrew the Rolls Royce logo from his car in the past lest someone steals it...no such worries these days, cos the new models come with a smart mechanism such that the logo will be moved down and hidden from view when the engine stops

Rolls Royce Ghost


Rolls Royce Wraith, a 2 door model, is the newest model which was launched in March last year

Leechie laying my leechie hands on Wraith, my fav Rolls Royce model

Love this cool quote

The most expensive umbrella in the world - each Rolls Royce comes with an umbrella, which is cleverly hidden in a secret compartment in the car door

Tom, explaining the details and impeccable workmanship which go into crafting the woodwork of each Rolls Royce

Lady from the sewing team explaining how the sewing that's being done

Reminds one of the starry starry night sky ya?

Took a picture of Gardens by the Bay when we left

Magners' Singapore International Comedy Festival 2014

Was at the press conference of Magners' Singapore International Comedy Festival held at Park Regis hotel just now. A selected lineup of comedians who flew in to perform at this inaugural Magners' Singapore International Comedy Festival did short 5 minutes sessions each at this VIP media preview. Plenty of cool British wit and humor were being showcased. Being a fan of British comedy, I certainly enjoyed myself. It was my pleasure to be entertained by so many talented comedians in a night. Would like to thank Creative Insurgence, Magners, Park Regis hotel and all the comedians and organizers for a most entertaining night =)

Magners' Singapore International Comedy Festival, which is from 23-26 April 2014, features 40 comedians in 130 shows at 10 venues. This comedy festival is set to be the largest international comedy event ever seen in Singapore! Tickets are available for sale at Sistic and the venues now. Prices start from $25 for a single show to $75 for an all access pass. The venues are: Penny Black, Harry's @ Boat Quay, Boomarang @ Boat Quay, London Bar, Molly Malone's Irish Pub, Uncabunca, Barber Shop by Timbre, The Men's Room and The Actors Bar. If you are a fan of witty lines, then I would recommend you get an all access pass. See you at the festival =)

My pleasure to meet these 2 British comedians (Luisa Omielan and Tom Allen) upon arrival at the function room. Tom Allen has recently won the prestigious "So You Think You're Funny" competition in Britain.

I got them to do some wacky poses for me...lol

This talented lady plays the ukelele too

My media all access pass which was made on the spot =)

The 3 flavours of Magners served for this event: Berry, Pear, Original

My fav Magners flavour is the Berry, which is sweet yet refreshing, which certainly satisfied my sweet tooth ;p

Up Close and Personal With Sophia Webster at On Pedder

Miss Sophia Webster was in town for the launch of her Supa Dupa Fly Spring Summer 2014 collection at On Pedder. Thanks On Pedder for giving leechie the opportunity to meet the lovely and extremely talented Sophia Webster in this private meet and greet session at On Pedder Scotts Square. Many famous media personalities and socialites were amongst the guests present. Clever use of ribbons and pokka dots can be seen in many of Sophia Webster's whimsical designs and some latest designs sport wings on the shoes! One male guest commented that this event has all the elements that ladies like: shoes, champagne and desserts!

Cool whimsical designs from Sophia Webster

Check out these candylicious hearts heels...the candy-coloured hearts look yummy and sweet enough to eat!

Ribbons can be seen on many of her designs...and she was wearing a ribbon on her hair too

Singapore Yacht Show 2014

Brought my leechie mum to Singapore Yacht Show over the weekend and we had great fun checking out the superyachts, supercars and aircraft there. Around 14,000 public and trade visitors from all over Asia attended this boating event, in which a total of 96 watercraft, from jet skis and tenders to luxury motorboats and elegant superyachts were featured. And the total area covered was about 50% bigger than last year's show! It was really crowded during the weekends and we bumped into couple of friends there. Thanks Heart Media for the kind invitation =)

Went late on Saturday and took these photos

People wonder why leechie likes Constellation so much? let me share this beautiful quote with you:
"Don't wait for the stars to be aligned. Reach up and rearrange them in the way you want. Create your own constellation!"
