Singapore Blog Awards 2011 is here!!

Audi Fashion Show 2011: Francis Cheong Couture

Gownful of colours, captivated audience, long steady strides to a fushion of oriental and opera-like music, flowy dresses and long slender silhoutters - that's the impression the Audi Fashion Show 2011 - Francis Cheong Couture on 17 May left on me.


Having to whizz thorugh the townful of shoppers, movie-goers and clusters of young people in Dhoby Ghaut since afternoon in my long black gown and getting stares from a lot of curious people, my expectation of the show grew by the minutes, though I can understamd why they stared..I mean...who wears a gown to watch movie and drink coffee? hahaha

Ohhhh Johnnyyy, my darling Johnny!!
The night started to settle down on the skyline of Singapore and as I approached the Rosemount Entrance of the Audi Fashion Tentage, I could already sight a couple of celebrities like Dick Lee and Xiang Yun, amidst the crowd of cocktail dresses, fashionable style, blazers and suits. When I helped Janet to distribute the invitation cards to the omy.sg bloggers, I could see the excitement in their gleaming eyes!

10.15pm: the much-anticipated moment finally came - it's time for the Francis Cheong Couture 2011 Fashion Show! Striding down the runway, the models were clothed in long flowy brightly coloured dresses designed to oriental theme with quail feathers, chinese tassels and intricate embroidery sewn onto them. It was a good mixture of brightly coloured dresses for the cheerful individuals who are not afraid to stand out in the crowd, soft fabric in feminine tones for the dainty ones and mysterious black, copper gowns to bring out the class and sophistication in the affluents.
Even though I am known to be someone who is always drawn to the unknown forces of the dark, I  find it hard to keep my eyes off the coloured range, finding myself muttering 'WOW!' to some pieces whom my friends would NEVER expect me to be impressed by, like :

In support for the fashionable and exciting night, Irene Ang, Pamelyn Chee and Celest Chung stole the limelight off the tall delicate-looking models and took to the stage, strutting down the runway in Francis Cheong's pieces, whilst immersing in cheers and pools of flashes:

Before I knew it, the fashion show has ended :( . Though it was short-lived, it was far from being a disappointment. The night ended with glasses of wonderful champagne and tasty canapes!
Francis Cheong!
My verdict for Francis Cheong Couture?
NAYY!!JUst kidding!! hahaha

My take on Francis Cheong Fashion Couture - Bold and Mysterious, Fashionable yet Simple, Feminine and Sexy - He has a piece for everyone out there, but my personal favourites of the night would be:

                                                   Floral and yet elegant!
                                                   Simply classy!
                                         The one in white...it's just...breath-taking~
Cheers, Audi for bringing us to this amazing world of fashion and thanks to OMY.SG for the invitation. I had an incredible night :)

Movie Review: Fast And Furious 5

With thanks to omy.sg, I went for a movie preview of Fast and Furious 5 on 4 May 2011 and had an amazing cinematic experience.

 To say that Fast and Furious 5 is breath-taking, heart-gripping and jaw-dropping exciting is definitely not an exaggeration as this 5th instalment of this ever popular and running series brings the audience into the slums of Rio De Janeiro.

I cannot recall the number of occasions when I dropped my jaws due to several reasons - breath-taking sights, heart-stopping racing scenes, unbelievable surprises and twists of events.


From the moment Dom (Vin Diesel) was saved from the prison's bus during his transportation to the jail, the story developed from a simple train robbery of...well, what else but cars :P, to a hunt by the most influential mafia leader in Rio and the FBI's appointed hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) to a final confrontation with the corrupted military force and the mafia as Dom and his gang of experts in various aspects took on Ocean's Eleven's role and decided to rob the mafia leader of all his laundered money.

If you'd ask me, this film is Fast and Furious meets Ocean Eleven, G.I Joe and The Town, with an added refreshing combination of Wrestler meets Racer as Dwayne and Vin moved from confrontation to combination when they eventually joined hands to bring the mafia leader down.


Still need convincing? Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PspF_GA-9U for their trailer.This is the BEST instalment of Fast and Furious ever! So what are you waiting for? Get yourself away from this screen right now, hit the theatres and bring yourself on a second round of adrenaline rush proceding the election excitement! Unlike the election, it's safe to leave your Identification Card at home this time, this show is rated PG :)
