A Good 1 Month

The past month was quite an unusual one as I got to catch up with some individuals that I never got to meet for years.

Mid of July, hubby & I met up with Gina (my ex-JC mate) & her husband, Albert.  It's on a sad occasion though... at the wake of Gina's mum.  We've not met for at least 3 years... but there's some happy updates - we should be seeing more of Gina & family next year onwards as they'll be moving (from very West) to Sembawang.. to a Penthouse to be exact!

The following Thursday, I met Karyn for dinner @ Mandarin Gallery's Wild Honey as hubby attended a dinner event for work.  We hadn't met for.. 9 years!!!  Just about 2 years ago we managed to reconnect through FB.  This dear friend has been going through a lot, for the second time, so much to catch up on.. so we adjourned to Brotzeit at 313 for dessert & drinks after dinner.

The following Tue, had lunch with Jo.  She's our ex-neighbour whom we lost touch for about 4 years till we bumped into her couple of months ago.  Recently I bumped into her again near my office & we arranged to catch lunch.  She's like what we've guessed.. but it's her ex-hubby, the uglier of the 2, who'd affairs & we're surprised.  It's a good 1.5-hour lunch... as we'd never chatted anything personal when we're still neighbours.

The first Fri in Aug, I'd a gals' night out with colleagues while hubby had drinks with his colleagues.  After a simple dinner at Boat Quay, we'd drinks at a new pub at Circular Road - Cellarbration.  At the end of my session, hubby came & fetch me to rejoin his colleagues.  When we reached home past 1am, I was already a lil intoxicated after 2 sessions of drinks.

We'd had a tower! 
I was excited when I saw Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc while walking in so I "influenced" some of the gals to get it.  And it's cheap @ $50!
Enjoyed the draft beer from the iconic Eiffel Tower :)  Hubby would have been happier to have it as he loves 1664 Blanc.  Hope hubby & I would have the chance to drink from the Eiffel Tower soon, hee.

The following Mon, we'd a big group farewell lunch... first time so many of us from different departments could gather for lunch.

Dim sum lunch @ Yan Palace.

Besides meet-ups with friends/colleagues, we spent more time with our families too :)

Some snippets...

Our last singing session & steamboat dinner thereafter
