Thank you, again.

You know, the thing about doing what you love, is that you enjoy doing it. You will put effort into doing it, and take pride in your achievements. I love writing. I've always loved it, even as a little fat girl in school pinafore and ponytail. Same as my love for performing which also started in primary school when one doesn't think too much about fame and monetary gains and what-nots. Simply passion.

I never really acknowledged my love for writing all these years out of JC (that's when we really stop writing fiction and stories, no? I remember my last submitted work was a GP assignment I scored quite well for), until I started blogging. And my, the joys blogging have brought me! I lose myself in ranting, in telling you my stories, in sharing my thoughts, in baring my soul.

Then what have I gained from doing what I love? Readership. You guys. People who got to know me from my writing and who like reading what I write. It kinda reinforces my passion and gives me drive. It's also the same with my performance as an artiste. If someone likes how I portray my characters, how I deliver the personas, it gives me the 推动力 to keep wanting to do, to keep doing, to do better. So for all my supporters, thank you. =D

For all the invites that I have been erm, invited, I also thank you guys, for believing that using my blog as a social media marketing tool, it can benefit your company and your products. I have been invited to so many events and products/services reviews that I'm having quite a handful of posts to put up this week. I'm not complaining though. =) Just give me some time to do a nice proper write-up/ad/review for you alright? At times like this, I sometimes wish I'm a full-time blogger so I can have all the time in the world to keep blogging daily, but then again, I'm a full-time artiste cum blogger, so I'm happy as well. And grateful.

你们一定是在想Ｓｉｌｖｅｒ今天是做什么，突然那么感性～　喂我本来就是很感性的ｏｋａｙ～
I believe in not taking things for granted (though sometimes, even I am guilty of commiting that heinous crime), so when I can, or get the chance to, I like to show that I appreciate everything. Like buying my Mum a present which I hope she would like instead of otherwise. Like letting Alton sleep with me on the bed even though he stinks.　Like thanking you guys for coming back again and again. And telling your friends to come, and their friends, and their friends' friends. Like appearing at Qiuting's party even when it has ended, just because I've promised her I'd go, and because I view her as one of my best friends.

Okay, before I forget, Qiu! I know I came late and I promised to dress up in uniform, so this is for you!!! And because of Qiu, you guys are in for an eye feast~ And I put myself on the line should I get sued. *prays*

TADAH~

Silver in her old pretty Singapore Girl uniform!!!

When I arrived at her party today, I was in SQ head, but in raincoat and rainpants. So she only managed a slight peek at the uniform inside. (Eh I was riding and it was raining okay, plus if I wear the raincoat I don't have to bring extra clothing to ride in~ Just wear uniform INSIDE~ smart right?)

I was there in SQ full makeup hor, just minus the red lipstick,which I had brought if Bakerzin hadn't chased everyone out and her party had to end at 9:30pm (which party ends at 9:30pm? You tell me la~). Red lipstick makes a difference to the whole look okay. See - 

 

少了口红和制服，虽然还是美啦～

但很像少了什么似的～

And trust me, the blue isn't what some of them make it to be. I find the blue eyeshadow, if you know the techniques of blending and choosing the right shades, very flattering.

As ANY makeup artist would tell you, never use 1 shade of eyeshadow. Use 2-3 shades, and BLEND~~~~

Blue eyeshadow need not be wayang~ 很美hor!

My brows nice not? I went for embroidery. Yes, you guessed it, invited for. Will put up the post soon!

Okay enough side-tracking. I just want to let you know I know you guys are there for me, even my friends whom I've not met in years. Keeping abreast of my every latest happening. Comforting me when I'm down, giving me encouragement when I'm lost, laughing with me, laughing at my stupid antics. Being there, essentially. Sgblogawards voting is over. I understand winning or not doesn't equate to being the best. Heck, I've an Omy account and even I don't vote for myself everyday. Yes I do vote for myself. Nothing wrong with giving yourself a bit of encouragement, and believing in yourself ma~ ^.^

Once again, I know I'm damn lor sor - 

Thank you for loving me~

幸福的女人，

Purple Sage Dinner!!!

I was invited for dinner with the guys from Purple Sage!!!

For the clueless (like me), Purple Sage is not just another caterer, it is also the winner for "Outstanding Caterer of the Year" for the 2nd consecutive year!!!! The Outstanding Caterer of the Year awarded at the World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence, recognizes the catering team with the most creative and impressive banquet set-up. They were up against other nominated establishments from hotels, restaurants and other event catering companies!!!And they won! For 2 years running!!!! Cool or what?? If you've read my ST Urban feature with QT today, you'd know I look up to people at the top of their game, and Purple Sage ranks exactly there. *loves*

Before I go into what I ate and everything else, I'd like you to meet Tony Seow!!!! He's the boss of Purple Sage, and I have to say, this is a man who goes beyond convention. And I ABSOLUTELY love his staff welfare. He's someone who will, in the middle of a work day, suddenly gather his staff and bring them out for lunches and even (hold your breath girls) MANICURES!!!!! Wah this is a papa-san I don't mind having~ Really, if you treat your staff well, they work better and happier for you. I've always believed that, and he is a role model. =)

Oh oh!!!! I think he resembles this great fengshui master I know!!! 慧戒师傅！That's the guy you've seen in the past 2 years' Mediacorp CNY Special! He writes for U-weekly as well!
Here's a picture of 慧师傅

有没有小像？？？有喉？！
Tony, it's a good thing~ ;) This master's really great at what he does!

What really drew me to the event was this:

They did up an invite. With my name and blog URL. I thought the fact that they actually did up an invite, albeit simple, but it's small little touches like this that make or break a deal, isn't it? For me, it made it.

Look at that~ That's our dinner set up, complete with flowers! 

Purple Sage has her own in-house florist!!! It's Azalea. I think that's a very clever idea, having your own florist to complement your catering set-up. Flowers always give a nice touch. 

There's Tony telling us about how this whole blogger event was done ENTIRELY by his interns! I'm impressed!!!

I know my camera sucks, especially in low light. It irks me too, not that I can do anything except wait until I can get a new camera.

The menu for the night. I was told this menu served to us would set one back about $90/pax!!! Whoa!!~~ 

Okay before you start drifting off and saying "Aiyah this one expensive one la~ Not for 贫民百姓 like us", I want to stress that they DO customize the menu according to your demands and budget. And if you really want something simple, they have a more economic subsidiary, known as

Simply Buffet. I can't find the link to Simply Buffet, but keep coming back in case I find it and put it up yeah?

Each seat comes with its own menu and seat allocation name card!

As well as a pack of mint sweets!! Attention to detail, I like~~~~~

Other details which made me smile in approval -

Crockery with their logo.

You can't see this clearly, but this is a sugar satchet!!! And printed on the back are ANT prints!!!!
糖生蚂蚁！！！ Kawaii neh!!!!!!

This was the first dish served to us. The bread, i gotta tell you, has got to be the BEST bread I've ever eaten. Even better than the ones I used to "kop" from SQ business class. Toasted to perfection on the outside, and soft and fluffy and tastes heavenly on the inside... It's mmmmmmmmMMMmmmM~~~~~~~~~~~~ to the max~

Absolutely ecstatic over the bread~

The starter - smoked salmon. They smoke the salmon ON-THE-SPOT leh!!!! So the smoke was damn fresh la!!! *can't stop raving*

The salmon...*melts*

Cappuccino Mushroom Soup

I vaguely remembered drinking something like this at Bakerzin. Theirs was known as Bak Gua Mushroom Soup or something, and it was also foamy at the top, if I remember correctly. This one has loads more foam, just like Cappuccino!!! I'm a great fan of mushroom and mushroom soups, and this one scores high on my list!

Had I been served this at home, I would have licked it clean. But I wasn't at home right, and there were many people watching, so I merely finished the soup *grumbles*

The Barramundi. This reminds me of the days when I was flying. I first saw this word in the business class menu and I was wondering how to heck to answer should passengers ask me what fish barramundi is.
It's basically a type of seabass. Good stuff.

On the other side is the chicken!

Lime Sorbet. This clears our tongue of the white meat taste, to prepare us for the meat dish that will come later.

The Short Rib! Once again, pardon my camera. Flash, and you get this. No flash, and it's a patch of black stuff on a plate.
This is such a luxurious menu, I'm running out of great food adjectives *panic*

Other than Tony, I met a lot of great people like his interns and other invited bloggers~ Everyone was warm and nice and friendly, which helped made the event a successful one~ I think who you invite to your event/party very important leh. It can make or break your event you know?

All of us.

Okay I'm gonna like end abruptly cos I've to rush to go for Qiu's birthday party!!!!! And I'm nowhere near ready!!! HELP!!!!

See ya!!!
