SYDNEY - Ferrari Club Drive to Lakehouse Cafe at Murrays Beach - It was a beautiful Sunday morning where the sun was shining brightly in the skies, filling each crack and crevice on earth with light and warmth. I woke up early, dressed in my new shiny white dress with a red knitted cardigan, put on my favorite red Miu Miu pair of shoes with shimmering crystals, together with my Ferrari Cap and red Yves Saint Lauren clutch bag, I dashed out of home and rushed to attend this event. I was filled with excitement as I have not attended a Ferrari Club event for quite some time due to my busy schedule. I love meeting the Ferrari Club people as they are a bunch of really nice and friendly people!
Ferrari Club, NSW, Australia - The great thing about owning a super car such as a Ferrari or Lamborghini is the ability to join a Club full of the same car enthusiasts or car nuts. It is where driving an exotic car goes beyond prestige and instead, it is part of a passion, love and deeper appreciation about driving the car. It is absolutely naive to think car owners of exotic cars buy cars simply to show off. Most of the people at the Ferrari club are humble, down to earth and genuinely nice. It is a good mix of Diamond Jewellers, Medical Doctors, Surgeons, School Teachers, University Lecturers, Accountants, Lawyers, IT Professionals and successful Business Owners etc. They are respectable family men who bring their beautiful wives and children along every event. Most are absolutely big Ferrari car fans and they love the Ferrari brand as much as I do. After all, the Italian super car brand Ferrari is the number 1 most powerful and valuable brand in the World. I always wear my Ferrari cap and clothing with pride and sometimes feel "empowered" by my "Ferrari Outfit" with the innate feeling to shine with happiness. I know I am lucky and fortunate to be able to own a total of 4 cars since moving to Sydney, Australia where cars are much more affordable than back in Singapore. It is a form of passion and enjoyment to take my beautiful cars out on long drives to explore the countryside and beautiful beaches that Australia has to offer. A unique experience like no other :)
Lakehouse Cafe - Located approximately 1.5-2 hours drive away from Sydney in the Murrays Beach, Central Coast region, the Lakehouse Cafe is renowned for its mouth-watering dishes and I was greatly impressed with the Eggs Benedict with Salmon which I ordered. It was fresh, delicious and my hot Mocha was fantastic. The cafe has a relaxed, cosy feel with its intimate setting and contemporary interior design. I love how the cafe was strategically located among the high tree line so that diners can enjoy magnificent views of Lake Macquarie. A beautiful place to dine and later take a relaxing stroll by the waters to soak in the tranquility and natural surroundings is good for the soul. Healthy relaxation!

Overall, it was a great event with an excellent turnout of around 40 people in total. Special thanks to Robert from the Ferrari Club for organizing this drive and hope to see all of you soon :)

Sofitel So Singapore Hotel - This newly opened top luxury hotel housed in a heritage building located right in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District is an exciting new addition to Singapore's luxury hotels industry. The hotel design by Miaja Design group is one that draws inspiration by combining European flair with Singapore's characteristic nature. By blending timeless French elegance with modern Singapore chic, Sofitel So Singapore is a hotel unlike no other.
The hotel has a total of 134 meticulous rooms including 9 private suites. There are also 6 So Lofty Suites with Parisian styled balconies where hotel guests can admire the beautiful skylines. It is also the World's first hotel that feature Apple-based guest technology where rooms are fitted with Apple iPad minis and iPhones. It also has a golden-tiled infinity rooftop pool and bar called the HI-SO bar that offers guests an opulent dip in the pool with a beautiful cocktail in hand. The hotel interiors and chic furniture creates an artsy vibe like those found in art galleries and I enjoy marveling over the beautiful art pieces in the hotel lobby. I find Sofitel So Singapore hotel a very stylish, sophisticated, glamourous and luxurious hotel that aims to impress their hotel guests.
Karl Lagerfield - Possessing a unique character of its very own, Sofitel So Singapore also has a "The Lion's Seal" emblem exclusively designed by the legendary German designer - Karl Lagerfield that is incorporated into the hotel's bespoke bathrobes and hotel interior designs. The emblem is inspired by Singapore's history as a "Lion's City" which highlights values such as courage, integrity, leadership and one that commands admiration and respect. Singapore is a popular tourist destination in Asia and is known to be a playground for the rich to splurge their money. With the steady increase in more affluent tourists visiting Singapore for business or leisure, Sofitel So Singapore hotel would be a top choice and favorite without a doubt.
Xperience Restaurant - Helmed by French Chef - Anne-Cecile Degenne, the hotel's Xperience restaurant boosts an interesting menu where diners can choose from 3 different sizes - XS for tasting, XM for personal meals and XL for sharing. Diners can also customize their very own menu to suit their palate as the dishes are categorized according to textures and tastes - Crunchy, Smoky, Spicy, Zesty, Silky, Saucy, Juicy etc. It was my mummy's birthday and I wanted to take her somewhere special so we've decided to try the food at Xperience restaurant and it was a fantastic dining experience! The food served was delicious and carefully prepared by the chefs who take great pride in their dishes. The food focus on textures and consistency. We were greatly satisfied by the tantalizing cuisine and the fantastic cocktails that were tailored to pair together with our food. We were very impressed that they even have a resident DJ Che Molly to spin great music so we can groove to the funky tunes during our culinary experience. It was an interesting and memorable dining experience as my family and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously in the luxurious restaurant and hotel.
