Phillips Networking Dinner

Boy was it a great night!

Though just a temporary employment with Pico (second time), this time it was much more pleasant. Thank you Derek for your guidance. :)

Dinner was an extravagant affair at Capella Hotel in Sentosa, I didn't get the chance to take pictures of the food, but they were oh-so-yummy! Here's what I had tonight:

Appetizer - Combination of Trio:
Roasted Duck Breast with Thai Mango Salad,
Tandoori Chicken with Cucumber Raita,
Tauhu Goreng with Prawn Paste Sauce

They were flavourful yet not overpowering. Naise.

Soup:
Authentic Bak Kut Teh with Condiments

I thought it was delightfully "herbal-flavoured", but apparently I was told by Derek that the ones in Malaysia are - I quote him - unbeatable. Mmmm, would love to go there one day and try it out. I can't recall the place right now, but was it "Klang", located below KL?

Main Course:
Singapore Style Chilli Crab accompanied with Seafood Nasi Goreng

Woah, this was damn shiok I tell you, the meat from the crab pincer was already peeled! Wahahaha, done to perfection!

Dessert:

Baked Raspberry Tart with Fresh Lychee & Green Tea Ice

Interesting fusion, one word - divine.



To end the good night, had a quick get-together time in conjunction to cheer Shun Hong up with the SHHKACT peeps -

Days like these are great. ▲

Worn Down

As of 17 May 2010, I had worked past 20 hours at a go with less than 8 hours of sleep for 2 days, used an electronic hand drill and almost screwing up (pun fully intended) the backdrop, about to freeze to death if not for director's jacket, and so tired I started became enthusiastically helping the China workers to set up while walking/running barefoot in the entire ballroom full of nails, wood pieces and drills. 0,0

And just the same morning, I broke my Bio-Essence, with all the oil essence and broken glass shards around my feet. To get things cracking I picked up the pieces quickly, only to have a cut of my wrist that looked like I committed suicide with the plaster on. =,=

Hell only begins when the following day you wake up to 16 missed calls, 13 messages and 8 whatsapp notifications.

"OH FUCK!!!!!" was the only thing that went through my mind, followed by the astonished and furious reactions/expressions I'm going to get from my superiors.

The clock says 12.30pm. I was supposed to have been to two places by then.

In a hurry, I tripped on the spillage the previous day and landed hard not on my meaty butt, but on the freaking spinal cord. I'm so grateful or being young, I'm pretty sure I would be dead by now if I'm 60 years old.

You know how when something bad happens, it normally follows through?

I scalded two fingers while trying to get some water, and later on in the day had a bitchy supplier who mocked at me.

I'm so glad everything's over! From tomorrow onwards, there'll be choir, nice people, KTV, Dimsum, Cider, Melon, plus a week-long trip, hopefully everything turns out great for me. :D

LaSalle Bootcamp

It's one of those pensive nights and I've decided to start the ball rolling again, although I can't afford to let it roll into a big ball tonight because I have an early day tomorrow.

So just a quick one:

A pencil sketching that I'm proud of, drew it 2 months ago at LaSalle's portfolio Bootcamp. We were given the small piece of paper (right) and in order to test our observation skills, we have to flip the piece of paper around, and draw from bottom up.

Moreover, we were forbidden to use the eraser (thus explains the huge right shoulder, haha). I'm glad I didn't, yet I still love the result.
