Met up with alison and sihui today for lunch and a little bit of shopping before heading down to the Common.Voices concert. alison has really slimmed down alot *stop denying it* It felt really good to be able to catch up with them, cause we haven't met up in like ages!

Went for lunch at the takashimaya foodhall!! the food there was kinda good.. they serve quite decent pasta and the pricing, reasonable. i really didn know they sold pasta there..i usually head out to that stupid over-priced italian restaurant opposite pepper lunch for my pasta fix when i'm at takashimaya..

Anyway, I volunteered to help out at the concert as i felt bad for not being able to join them for the performance this time round so here's the pin Song gave me for playing the role of an usher!

quite cute i know. ahaha. pardon the ugly, chipped manicure!

i think i might be joining CV though i might envision myself having a little problem blending into their group. but well, i do need that extra credit and i do miss singing and performing. the vocal consort has shifted to siglap now and its too far for me to travel over for practice.. so, why not right? Guess i might join them for carolling this year, so long it doesnt clash with my travel schedule for december.

oh. i also went down yesterday night after work, to watch them rehearse. so here's like the CV choir in err. should i say 3/4 strength. CV's kinda small, only 16 members if i'm not wrong..

Picture of performance on actual night, i think folk songs suit CV better rather than those french and english ones. This time round the concert was much better than the previous. can really see that they have grown as a choir, no more big noticeable boo-boos!

here's evelyn. getting prettier and prettier.
The CV gang went to celebrate the success of their concert after the encores and phototaking sessions so alison, sihui and i went over to esplanade's The V Tea Room to get some drinks.

Their menus are really cute. and so are the names for their items. i was contemplating getting the 'Woman with the big O" smoothie..

but ended up getting up the 'Mango Creamsicle'. well nothing fantastic to rah-rah about. just vanilla ice cream and mangoes blended, and topped with, i don't get this, peach which was pre-soaked in alcohol as it had that distinct tangy taste. and i thought my drink was supposed to be mango.
alison and sihui had the coffee. it was kinda cute really, hot coffee topped with a scoop of ice cream and a small pathetic piece of cookie by the side. but they said it tastes quite good..Looks like something u can get for like say, $5 right? they paid $7 for this cup of coffee if i'm not mistaken..
but i really didn mind the price cause the ambience was really nice? super cosy with the yellow lights around and the european setting of the shop.. they even have fresh roses on display! it's a nice place to go for an after-dinner chat.

OH. and eoin would so love that place i tell you, it's kinda made to please the ego-istic man. the waitresses there dress up in maid costumes!
