Momorange 2nd Anniversary

Time really flies when you're having fun. It seems just like yesterday that we got together lol. We cleared leave together for this memorable day and we started off with breakfast downstairs at the market, followed by two rounds of bowling at SAFRA. Must have been my worst performance at bowling, cos I scored less than 100 for round one zzZZzz... After that, we went to queue for the 1-for-1 Subway promotion. Yummy! Then we went back to Dear's home where she baked some cupcakes. First time see Dear preparing cupcakes hehe. Almost did not go for the chocolate buffet since it was raining quite heavily in the afternoon, but eventually we decided to go for it.

Long wanted to try this chocolate buffet at The Club at Marina Bay Sands, therefore brought Dear to this restaurant. All I can say is, the service was awesome. From the phone reservation to the reception and to the waiting of the waitresses at The Club, I'm very impressed by their high level of service. They asked if it was for some event and they actually prepared a small cupcake for our anniversary celebration upon knowing about it when I called to make a reservation. Really excited to visit the SkyPark at MBS cos of all the hype and hearing all the stuff about the magnificent views from there. We got our reservation card from the reception at the first floor of MBS and proceeded to the 57th floor whereby we were greeted with a spectacular panoramic view of Singapore. What's more it's a great view of the citylights of the Marina Bay area and the new Gardens By The Bay, which looked like little toy structures.

The Club, which features 57 different types of food either made of chocolate, or contains chocolate, is situated somewhere in the middle of the Sands SkyPark. It's rather small, probably enough for less than 100 guests, and the food area is just about the size of a bus, maybe smaller. As for the food, well... I guess we shouldn't try such "specialized" buffet ever again, just like durian buffets. It gets really sick after a while, cos it's nothing but chocolate lol. But they really have some interesting stuff made of chocolate, like the Banana Steamed Chocolate, which even came in a traditional bamboo dim sum steamer. Overall it's a rather refreshing experience. Coupled with the entry into the SkyPark, it's definitely worth a try, at least, for all Singaporeans, since there should have been more foreigners than locals having had experienced such an indulgence.

Last of all, Happy 2nd Anniverary to Momorange!

Where's my food!?

Chocolate goodies!!! How to resist?!?

Cookie Monster was not allowed into The Club.

Round 1

Looks more like gold nuggets to me. $_$

A chef was stationed at the ice-cream and donuts station. He looks very bored. Nothing much to do.

Many interesting powder flavours to put on your donuts. There's black pepper some more.

Fruits for chocolate fondue.

They prepared a small cupcake knowing that it was for our anniversary. So cool!

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate of course! We're at a chocolate buffet!

Happy anniversary!

This ice-cream looks and tastes like a Magnum.

Dear enjoying her round 2 or 3.

This looks like one of those scented candles.

I found a Dragonball!

Chocolate Caramel Apple Cake

Chocolate Torte

Banana Steamed Chocolate

Cheesecake Lollipop

This mini cone contains chocolate of course, as well as those tiny sweets which pop in your mouth.

This Momo contains chocolate too, as well as those huge cutie eyes which brightens up your day. =D

The bowl is salivating chocolate when it sees these succulent fruits. I would too.

Free champagne when paid using UOB credit cards. How cool is that?

A toast for our anniversary!

The food area is actually quite small. How did they squeeze 57 types of chocolate food there?

My camera lens got fogged once we left the restaurant, which produced this blurred effect.

Dear prefers the blurred picture to this. Hmm...

Gardens By The Bay looks so different from such a height. Looks more like some futuristic homes.

We finally witnessed the Infinity Pool right before our eyes!

Nice background for a pic.

Would like to swim there next time.

Momorange on the top of the world (Singapore).

How often do you get such views in Singapore?

ICT Over Soon. Holiday Over Soon!

Yeah man. Every ICT feels like a long holiday. A well-deserved break from the normal routine at work. 3 weeks just flew past so quickly. Don't really feel like going back to work argh!!!

Today was the cardinal event. No more NE tours. We went back to Tampines SAFRA for bowling event from 10-12pm. Played 2 rounds. Woot got 161 and 135 points.

Then as suggested by Heng Yong, we went to this Ssikkek Korean BBQ buffet restaurant at Tampines 1 for lunch. 12 big burly and hungry men just out from a grueling and tiring 2D1N exercise on Mon to Tue can really whack a whole truckload of food. There wasn't much variety of meat to choose from, mainly pork belly bacon and some other marinated pork, chicken and beef, plus some sweetcorn dessert, vermicelli, some seaweed soup, kimchi soup and watermelons as fruits. There were bottles of Dasani mineral water for each table as well. We also ordered some soju as well and in the end our bill ended up as $240.11 for 12 people, so roughly about $20 each. Pretty worth it if you ask me.

Some of the guys went for Part 2 of the day's program. Won't go into details lol. I went home to sleep cos was feeling so lethargic. Somehow I think I still need to sleep more due to the lack of sleep during the 2D1N outfield exercise on Mon and Tue. That was really super siong sia. Someone even slept for 17 hours after the exercise lol.



Raphael as usual was quite an entertainment for us during this ICT.

The 8th batch guys (our xinjiaos) were very creative with their names.

First Ever Company Event: Bowling

My first, as well as the company's first. There was shuttle bus to bring us to Mount Faber SAFRA for this bowling competition. Our department's team comprises of all of us except Da Chin. And then because there wasn't enough players for some other teams, therefore it ended up with every team to be made up of 4 players instead of 5. So our boss, Dominic, sacrificed himself and joined another team.

We had a small table of food prepared for us. But the moment we entered the bowling alley, we saw SembCorp's food spread was much better than our's lol. No wonder their share price is much higher. After the short dinner, we started warming up for our games with a few throws. Then the actual games started at 7pm.

Our first game's total team score was not too bad: 369 pts. And I barely made it past 100. Wah really rusty lol. Second game all of my teammates deteriorated but I got a 137 lol. Final score is 374 though. Too bad we didn't get to win anything. Cos anyone who got a double or turkey actually could get toblerones and vouchers respectively. Too bad I'm too rusty lol. Didn't even get anything, not to mention no top three trophies.

The trophies so cute eh? But..Milo!? Toblerone???

Our team name is "Risky" cos nobody came up with a name, so they just anyhow named it.

Round 1 results

Round 2 results

Our boss gave out prizes to this team with the lowest score.
They get T-shirts with the words "Team Longkang" lol.
