All I want for Christmas .....

All I want for this Christmas is this : Yes it's Salvatore Ferragamo's Aosta leather flat loafers. A leather bow and metal plate detail the vamp. It has Rubber sole. I'm so into animal prints all of a sudden. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. I hope the concern individuals see this & know what to do ...haha...

Gordon Ramsay's Bread Street Kitchen @ MBS

Have you seen Gordon Ramsay's cooking program? Even if you have not, I'm quite sure you would have heard of him. His fame as a celebrity chef & TV personality is pretty in your face. He's everywhere, even in Singapore. He has set up the Bread Street Kitchen at MBS in 2015.

When ever I visited MBS, I'll pass by the restuarant , peek in & tell myself must try it next. I'm pretty curious if it's good. And always I forget about it whenever it's time to look for a place for food.

Then 2 weeks ago, once again we were as usual thinking of where to go for lunch. Then Josh, our new colleague suggested Bread Street Kitchen, & I immediately go "why not?" But the rest were not so enthusiastic. Finally they gave in. This is part of the wonderful meal. The staff are pretty attentive & nice. And will I go again? Yes I would.

I had this, love it

Josh had this, I love how they place the chips in that small tub, it's too cute ...lol..

The salmon is not so good, but the chicken is :)

Nice generous serving of bread & butter

Ah Mah Homemade Sponge Cake at Jcube

A week ago one of my colleague (Kate) brought 2 cakes to work. It's like a norm for us to bring something special, once a while. Usually when we came back from vacation. According to Kate, she saw this Queue for these cakes & she just join it out of curiosity ...lol.. She has to queue for half an hour. Wow we were impressed, it better be good. Yes it's Ah Mah's Homemade Sponge cake!

We tried it & it's good. We had the chocolate & cheese cakes. I especially like the cheese cake. Kate bought hers from JCube, Jurong East. They have other branches now At VivoCity, Bukit Panjang Plaza & Paya Lebar Square.

Japanese fashion label CUNE

I love Japan & it's fashion. Have you heard of Hironori Yasuda & his label CUNE?  The super creative guy started CUNE in 1994.
Yasuda don't care about what's hot this season & the latest trends. He makes what he wants, and each season he picks a seemingly arbitrary theme, one that typically has no place in the world of fashion, and designs his entire collection around it. He doesn’t think about who would wear his clothes, or how they would wear them. In fact, he even says “you don’t have to buy them.” But with two stores in Tokyo, one in Fukuoka and a thriving online shop, people seem to like his bizarre creations.

2016 – raw meat in the sky

His most recent collection last year was all about raw meat and a blue sky. We’re not entirely sure what those two things have in common, but we’ve learned not to ask. So there you have it.

2013 A/W – cabbage

2013 the designer debuted a collection inspired by cabbage. Specifically, the core – that part you have to awkwardly cut out because it’s too hard to chew. Isn't that cute ?

Skinny jeans with frills ?

I'm not sure, but I think everyone would have at least a pair of skinny jeans. Most would have a dozen if I'm not wrong. And that's me. I've 5 pairs in blue, 4 in black, 1 in white, 1 in green & 1 in pink. You just can't go wrong with them. You can dress them down or up, so convenient. However not everything works with jeans.

The other day I was in town & I saw a girl wearing this.Yes they are frills or lace with the skinny jeans. Yes it's pretty weird. I tried taking a pic, but I thought I better try getting one online, for privacy reasons. Found it !

They just don't go together, what you think? My friends couldn't stop laughing when they saw it. People would just wear anything these days I guess! It could be cute on a small kid but an adult ?

Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !

Last year a couple of my pals decided to start a small business. A café, like Toast Box or Ya Kun, only theirs would be selling crepes, waffles and with higher priced coffee at the heartlands. But these joints are sprouting around town right? Many have done it to various degrees of success & failures. My pals are just being bored & a couple of them has been lay-off recently. They have some money, so looking forward to some investment, something to occupy their time.

They ask me to join in the fun. FUN ? Business school don't teach you, but common sense should warn you about never sharing a business with your best pals. When money is concern, even family will fight. I told them my concern & they brush it off. It'll be great they promised me.

Fast forward 8 months, now the 4 partners/friends are not talking to each other anymore! Anything & everything that could go wrong, went wrong with their venture. In the past we would meet together for birthdays etc... one time. Now I've to meet them separately for all their birthdays, my birthday & whatever day. It's getting exhausting.... for ME! This weekend I'm holding an intervention. Our almost 2 decades of friendship should be able to weather anything.... I hope ! Wish me luck.

Lets all be friends again ..... for my seek !

The more you delegate the less you can be blamed for anything!

What do you think of people who never make decisions? As a result these people cannot be held accountable if anything goes wrong. How F--- up is that right? Is like the more you delegate the less you can be blamed for anything! That's almost like a motto in my department lately!

How it got to be this way? I don't know.... The recent series of lay-offs could be one of the reasons. The locals' kiasuism another I guess. Whatever it is, it's not cool & it's driving me nuts!

But not always.... not where I work !!!!
