Today was one of those unexpectedly eventful and fun long days. A couple of us started the afternoon with a Streats-organised wine appreciation masterclass at One Fullerton. For $25, we learnt about and tried out 6 different types of quality wines, about the different shapes and types of wineglasses, and after that had a free-flow of superb cabernet sauvignon, shiraz, riesling, chardonnay, sweet whites, foie gras tarts and other yummy finger foods!
We then staggered out half intoxicated and hung around the area and decided to join in the fun with the teeny crowd squeezed around the spewing Merlion. Young girls no more than 18 or 19 had been there since 8am and were then screaming and taking photos and queuing up for autographs of their favourite idols… the boyband 5566! :O
One of our friends actually knew someone in the crowd who managed to get her vcd autographed. We found out that this was what all the fuss was for...
We then decided that we were too old for all that (besides, we were getting tired from screaming and waving) and sat down at Gloria Jeans for coffees and guess who we saw coming along??
Our favourite SM Lee! Wow!! How cool can this get??
And as the evening arrived, we were treated to the patriotism-stirring sight of three copters and a chinook carrying a giant Singapore flag across the bay, probably rehearsing for National Day!!! :D
We ended the night with some mindblowingly awesome singing by Nuris and guitar strumming by Darren @ The Fat Frog Café at Substation.. They perform every Sat nite (10pm to 2am) and are really really good!
What an awesome day! :D
