GOC Party 2013 @ the Arena


This year's GOC party would be the last event that I would be attending. After spending more than 5 years in the company, where colleagues became friends, every moment spent together seems to make it harder for me to leave.
 
Back from a year's break, this year the GOC party was held at the Arena and the theme of the night was Retro Night!

The Ago-go ladies!
Ah Lin looked like Chen Mei Guang guang guang.... from a local sitcom, 播音人!!


The Ah Lian and Ah Beng from the 80's!

Chen Mei Guang and Mee Pok??? =p


The Chiobu and the Yandao! =p


Ah Lian spotted bullying people!!


SW easily stood out among the guys, especially with his candid expression!

This has turned into a nightclub!?!?
Hamsup Boss with the Ladies!!

The lonely organiser......





Okie, this was crazy! It was only 7:30pm and the party has not start yet but Gary ordered so many glass of Vodka and beers for us!!!


The best colleagues cum friends! Probably the nicest bunch of people to work with!
Cheers to SP and FXO Team!!!

How can we not take photos with the organising committees?

Xy with the roly-poly style!


One of the main event of the night, drinking competitions! Each team was supposed to finish 2 jugs of beers and 10 shots! I don't mind shots, but not beers. How can one drink so much beers without feeling bloated and wanted to vomit easily?


Boss leading the way!!

Xy was our heroine and can hold her liquor well!





Look at that!
This team totally thrashed all the contestants.
It was all over in less than 5 minutes I think!



The last event of the night, Best Dressed Guy and Lady!

Sw was the first contestant to grace the stage and trying to pull some votes

The first female contestant, Vivian!

The one whom everyone was dscussing.
Probably the dark horse of the night!


The most sporting lady and definitely no lack of confidence!


And lastly, it's my turn!
Was so paisei when sabao by the host to do a Gangnam Style dance!


Janet got the privilege to be accompanied by the host for the catwalk

The announcement of the winners!
Make a guess!!!
The winner of the Best Dressed Lady and Guy was Janet and the guy on the right of the host!
No luck for me again, missing out on the Best Dress!



The winners of the top 3 Lucky draws of the night!


And we continued drinking and chatting into the night after the event.
Probably one of the best GOC party yet!

Mum's Birthday Celebrations at Hoshino Coffee


There are a couple of nice restaurant opening at the new Plaza Singapura wing and we decided to celebrate our mum's birthday here. Long queue is always spotted at the café and wondered if it is nice.  

My Brother's Hoshino Pot-baked Curry rice!

My brother's skeptical expression when the dish arrived. Taste pretty normal and not as delicious as what he expected. =p  

My mum's Hoshino Spaghetti with Eggplant, Bacon, egg and sausage.
Not the usual kind of pasta. 

My dad's Carbonara with Yolk and Bacon.
Not a fan of carbonara generally as it taste jelat if served in big portion.

Our Lobster Bisque soup Spaghetti.

The Pescatora Seafood with Tomato sauce spaghetti. This was probably the nicest pasta among all!
Fresh seafood and the tomato sauce is delicious, striking a balance of sweet and sour taste.


Probably the café is more known for its desserts rather than its mains. We gotta try to find out for ourselves. My sis's Fuwa Fuwa, which means fluffy Hoshino Souffle. Not too bad! Just like its name, it was fully and light!



One of the 2 other Souffles that we ordered, Double Pancake Souffle Style. Compared to the rest, this is not as soft as what a soufflé is suppose to be, but it is quite moist. Paired with the honey, it seems to taste pretty much like a pancake rather than a soufflé.

The Vanilla Souffle.
Soft, light and puffy!
Start eating before it starts to collapse! =p

Happy Birthday Mum!!
