23/6/16 Thurs: HP, Chris, Clarissa, Eugene and I went to CWP for a Jap lunch with Justin as his farewell. Gonna miss this buddy at work lo. Then again, aiyah he can survive if he wants la!
Bryan, Yvonne and I attended Singapore Sports Awards 2016 aft work at Swissotel The Stamford as representatives of STC.
Food was pretty good, but I still don't uds why Sportsgirl and Sportsboy get different amount of cash awards ($800 vs $1000) for the achievements they have gotten? Am I missing any thing from anywhr? Hmm...
25-26/6 Sat-Sun: So MT, YQ, XY, Mich, LC and I gathered at Mountbattern MRT before taking a bus to Goodman Arts Centre for je t'aime perfume workshop that we reserved for ourselves and the hens to enjoy doing perfumery together!
There are samples of perfumes like "Singapore girls", "market" etc that hangs ard from the ceiling for customers to try... well not all would be to your liking la uh. We were asked to do a personality test first before we could start concocting our own perfumes!
From the results, citrus (extrovert) and woody (introvert) scents form a large part of my personality. The lady let us play a quiz on the hens haha... had some laughs there but I think it's time I put in more effort in remembering my friends' habits and likes LOL~
So we picked out the combination of smells we like from the 50+ bottles comprising of the five different categories, including floral, oriental and fresh.
Then, we were ready to input our 500drops of personalised perfumes!
Yay and it's done and sealed! Mine smells very strongly of citrus and lemon, pretty fruity and it's ironic cos I'd prefer floral perfumes all long~ but it seems my personality says otherwise haha. It's okay cos I like this too! The lady can still fix a lil' for u if u are not contented with your perfume... a total of 3 tries if u wanna redo. *$105 per pax for grp of less than 10pax... 3+hrs thr was a gd exp!*
Oh and the mini cupboard of singlular smell perfumes u see up thr? There are over 200 individual smells, which means the perfume u create would be even more personalised than what we did, cos our basics were alrdy compound perfumes... this is more ex la of cos, and pray you don hav blocked nose on the day of the workshop haha!
Dinner was at Cafe Melba juz beside, and YY joined us late aft her musical show. It's western food thr, and I tot the duck and crabmeat pizza was not bad. Others were meh imo. Then, Mich, YQ LC and I uber to Downtown East resort.
WT joined us at night aft coming back from Malaysia, and the gals had our chats as usual. *So happy for LC and XY cos they are attached too haha!* SS, MT and Mich got us eyeshadows, DIY bridesmaid boxes and socks respectively, while I passed them pouches I bought from Hanoi. Midnight, WT and XY left for home, while the rest of us spend the night chatting further. MT and I headed back to slp at about 2+am, Mich and SS were thr to chat but they couldn't take it aft a while too haha.
Hope MT and SS enjoyed the 2D1N spent, and I am looking forward to both their weddings this Sep!

Reached his place and found out that MM helped him with the "salmon flowers", and then I helped him decor using the ham, capsicums, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and grilled onion~ He was cooking seafood paella for us and his mum too!
Granted it was his first try at it, and I guess we knew thr was too much water so it became more like risotto LOL~ still the starters, mains and sides (salmon) were all delicious cos of the efforts and thoughts! *What a way to celebrate our 7th monthsary~ I have a creative Potato by my side haha!*
