Magnum Infinity Launch Party at Orgo

Was really happy to attend the Magnum Infinity Launch party at Orgo. Brought Donna along as my guest for the night and good to have her company or peer pressure to try out the thrilling slides and swings at the Magnum Playground! lol...we certainly had plenty of fun at the interesting slides and swings, which were the brainchild of Bompas and Parr. Also loved the special effects in the Mirror Room, which was great for taking plenty of photos...and that also explained the queue leading to the Mirror Room. Orgo has concocted 2 chocolicious specialty cocktails to celebrate the launch of Magnum Infinity. Thanks Magnum Singapore for this awesome evening of fun and cool Magnum Infinity ice cream =)

On the Infinity swings

Me and Harry on the swings: Check out how Harry does it on the swing...n that's Donna's voice exclaiming her excitement at watching him on the swing!

Think you could hear Donna in the above clip suggesting that we should take selfie with Harry and so here we are: Photo with Harry, the brains behind Bompas and Parr.

This is the super thrilling slide at the Magnum playground! Honestly, I wouldn't try this slide if not for the moral support or peer pressure from Donna. I kept screaming and screaming as I was going down but everything was over in a couple of seconds. lol

Check out this clip for a feel of the super thrilling slide at the Magnum Playground!

BENJAMIN BARKER FOR SINGAPORE DESIGNER SHOWCASE, PRESENTED BY TAFF at Singapore Fashion Week 2015

Created and designed by Melbourne-based Singaporean, Nelson Yap, the quintessential Benjamin Barker brand marries versatility and style with an emphasis on design, fit, construction and form. This collection presented at Singapore Fashion Week brings together well-crafted and heritage-inspired menswear, which epitomises sartorial elegance with a touch of style and personality. Many well-cut suits were featured along with the clever use of props such as bicycles and umbrellas. The sweet pink blazer featured in this showcase is a good example of how men can carry off sweet pink shades well. By the way, this was the only show featuring only male models at Singapore Fashion Week 2015. The many hot male models strutting down the runway was certainly eye-candy for the ladies in the audience.

With heartfelt thanks to TaF.tc (The Academy of Fashion Professions), I was able to be there in person to witness this awesome live showcase of the stylish menswear collection of the talented Singaporean designer, Nelson Yap, and to share my perspectives with my readers. Thanks Taf.tc for the awesome view from my second row seat which was really great for taking photos!

Apologies for looking so tired as I was out the entire day since early morning, busy with Astrology workshops and missed on attending the Harper's Bazaar showcase even though I had tickets to this show.





H&M LOVES SUMMER: THE SINGAPORE FASHION WEEK 2015 OFFICIAL AFTER-PARTY FEATURING CELEBRITY DJ GODFREY GAO

Transforming their flagship store at Orchard Building into a fully-fledged tropical paradise, H&M hosted the official Singapore Fashion Week after-party for the very first time. Making his Singapore debut, celebrity DJ "Goddy God" Godfrey Gao appeared on the decks and dished out fresh tracks, at the fashion party of the year.

I only attended 2 shows on this third day of Singapore Fashion Week so that I could be at H&M early to see the one and only Godfrey Gao...but he didn't appear that early...i was happily shopping on the higher floors of the H&M building until some girls were heard screaming at 11+pm...blur me wasn't aware that Godfrey already took the escalators down n i actually missed that...one of the girls was like: "How could you possibly miss someone of 1.93 m tall?" Me being me,"Oh well, I just did" =( So I had to rush down to the first floor of the H&M building where the DJ console was...just as when I reached the first floor, Godfrey Gao had just finished posing by the H&M photowall and was making his way towards the DJ console...n he walked right towards me n obviously I followed him to the DJ console...n tada, I parked myself right in front of him throughout his entire 30 min session...I was standing directly right in front of him at the DJ console...so close that when Godfrey Gao took selfies with the crowd, I was entirely camouflaged by his 1.93 m frame that I was nowhere to be found on his selfies...I had the best spot in the house!!! =D He was only arm's length away from me! I couldn't help but kept looking at him! Honestly, I can't concentrate on anything else when such a good looking man is right in front of me! Pardon my fangirling...well, I don't really do that often...but it's Godfrey Gao...so pls pardon my fangirling...lol...i took more than plenty of candid shots of Godfrey Gao ;p

Thanks H&M for bringing Godfrey Gao in for this fashion party of the year and for the awesome shopping discount! I bought a H&M striped peplum dress in white and navy =)

He was only arm's length away from me! I couldn't help but kept looking at him! Honestly, I can't concentrate on anything else when such a good looking man is right in front of me! Check out Godfrey's bewitching eyes!!

Honestly, I could look into these eyes forever!! He's so good looking that no filter is required for most of these photos!

His so charming smile! <3 p="">

So cute!

 Notice how focused he looked during his DJing?

 So Shuai ;p

Godfrey is good looking from any angle! Took this photo when I happened to be just standing behind him and following him to the DJ console...

Cute candid shot of Godfrey ;p

Me attempting to take selfie with DJ Godfrey

Another selfie attempt...pls pardon my Godfrey-induced messy fringe ;p

Selfie taken by our shuai shuai Godfrey Gao ;p Not only is yours truly vertically-challenged, my arms are too short to reach my silly iphone as well...blur me was trying to help him tap on my iphone but my arms r too short to even reach my iphone...n i didn't realize that there's actually a button on the side of iphone that one could press to take pics...well, cool that I actually picked up this useful tip from our Godfrey Gao! honestly, ever since I set eyes on him backstage at Audi Fashion Festival last year, I've been smitten by him!

Another selfie that Godfrey took =) Godfrey's really made my day and night! I'm sooo starstruck! It's not everyday that I get so up close and personal with such a droolworthy international celebrity! My mum had to spoil my moment by commenting that there are many other people in this photo =.= so i told her to imagine that they r transparent or to mentally photoshop them away =.=




COLLATE THE LABEL PRE-FALL 2015, PRESENTED BY SONY XPERIA at SingaporeFashion Week 2015

This show at Singapore Fashion Week 2015 marked the debut of Singapore’s IT girl, Velda Tan's luxurious yet affordable clothing line, COLLATE THE LABEL. Sony Xperia was the sponsor for this show and the show started off with a Sony Xperia showcase.

Featuring classic female apparel inspired by the latest trends and evergreen silhouettes, COLLATE THE LABEL provides an exceptional fashion edit for today’s savvy and sophisticated set. These modern and classic designs incorporating feminine silhouettes  are presented in classic black and various sweet pastel shades such as soft pink and aquamarine (in some cases together with black). The various feminine looks in this debut collection of Collate The Label include classy work outfits as well as chic party styles. The working executive can take her pick from the various chic looks from this Pre-Fall 2015 collection. Collate The Label is sold online as well as at Tangs. Thanks Tangs for the pair of tickets to this show. Sincere apologies for the relatively blurred images from this show as I was seated in the third row of the section near the area where the models were about to make their turns.

The show started with a Sony Xperia showcase

The model's lanky frame carried off this classy black outfit with the interesting asymmetric neckline really well. Notice the relatively wider legs of the pants?

Love the soft pink shade of this dress


Notice the interesting necklines of many outfits in this collection and this number is no exception. Thought that the sheer layer of this dress adds to the subtle sexiness of this chic black outfit.

A classic black outfit which is great for daily office wear

Like the colour combination of this cropped top

Have always loved the colour combination of black and soft pink! Check out the interesting fold detail on the pretty pink skirt too.
