Saturday

130pm – Eugene and Veria’s hosted lunch with friends at their new place in Bedok. Their “major project” was truly worth the wait. I found their home bright, cozy, and modern — awesome environment for a newly-married couple.

Food was fanstastic — from the baked mushrooms, pasta, and chocolate dessert!

Also met new friends – Daryl, Shu Li, Rodin. Terence and Sze whom I had the chance to meet in December through Eugene and Veria were also there.

This is really yummy - great food presentation too

I think this is called molten chocolate cake. Hotel quality, even better!

Our wonderful hosts - caught in the act - Eugene and Veria

430pm (ish) – Met up with Julu in Vivo to prepare for the biggest cookout of his life (which I was hosting). In a few hours, he will be sharing his culinary talent with several of our friends through his signature creations. Learned a fair bit though my contribution was limited to ingredient preparation (peeling skin off the garlic and passing plates/bowls etc) haha.

Fun night – drinks, KTV, and boardgames. Ended around midnight.

Believe it or not, Julu didn't like the first shot so needed a re-take!

One of the two pasta sauces created by Julu. This one's was made form scratch (tomato base)

Sunday

430pm – KTV with my church choir. Always great to be at KTV with friends who not only love to sing but can also sing really well.

Venue was at Marina Country Club which was somewhere near Boon Lay. Selection was good; likely to go back there if I have extra minutes to travel to the west. Stayed for around 3 hrs before taking a one-hour bus journey from Boon Lay to Harbourfront.
