SYDNEY - Temasek Club NSW Chinese New Year Dinner @ Palace Restaurant


SYDNEY - Temasek Club NSW Chinese New Year Dinner @ Palace Restaurant - I was invited to attend this dinner by Angela Lee the Vice President of Temasek Club NSW and it was a fantastic event organized by the Temasek Club Committee. The entire event was well planned and perfectly excited. I enjoyed the delicious dinner, the live singing performance, Lion dance, Lucky draw and Trivia games etc. There were several VIP Guests and even the Singapore High Commissioner - Mr Michael Teo attended this dinner event.

LUCKY DRAW - I won an AYAM Brand Hamper :)

I booked one table under my name and invited 9 other friends to join me. We were seated at table 17 and I was happy as the numbers "1" and "7" are my lucky numbers due to my birthday falling on January 7. During the Lucky Draw, both myself and Stefanie who sat beside me won prizes. I won a huge AYAM Brand Hamper and Stefanie won a $80 Palace Restaurant Dining Voucher. What a great way to start a brand new year! I hope I would continue to be lucky during the rest of the year of 2014.


I managed to have my first "Lo Hei" and the YU SHENG was extremely fresh. I really love the raw salmon and the taste of the special condiments mixed together with it. We had loads of fun tossing the ingredients and reciting best wishes for good luck. It was a 10 course dinner which was filling and extremely delicious. Special thanks to my friends who attended the dinner with me: Tourmaline Tan,  Stefanie Lin, Lynn Chyeah, Claire Jumay, Huei Lay, Nabil Mustafiz, Chris Tseng, Dojee and Richard Eu. We had a fantastic time together and hope to see all of you soon :)


Frasers Property had a whole table to themselves and I was glad to catch up with my ex-bosses Dr Stanley Quek (Chairman of Frasers Property Australia) as well as Mr Marcus Chang (Director of Greencliff). I used to work for Frasers Property part-time as a receptionist at Central Park Sales Gallery when I was studying my Masters of International Business in University of Sydney.

Below are more photos taken throughout the entire night. I was also glad to have met up with Mr Eric Yeo who is the President of Temasek Club NSW. The Best Dressed Award I would definitely give it to Nabil Mustafiz who was elegantly dressed in a well-tailored suit. He's truly a very fashionable lawyer!

It was a huge event where around 200 people attended. The event had many sponsors such as Frasers, SCOOT, Stamford Tyres, AYAM Brand, Overseas Singaporean Unit, Silver Spoon, Palace Restaurant, Reebonz, YEO's and some individual sponsors as well.


The event also helped raised AUD$1157 for 2 Charities - Save the Children Australia and Josephites.



Great work to Temasek Club NSW Committee for organizing such a fabulous Chinese New Year Dinner and getting so many great sponsors! All of us had a wonderful time at the event.

Lora's Dress is bought from Cambodia and the white flower pin is from H&M

Wishing all of you a very Happy Chinese New Year and good luck for the year of the Horse in 2014!

SYDNEY - Chinese New Year Potluck Dinner & Tourmaline's Housewarming Party


SYDNEY - Chinese New Year Potluck Dinner & Tourmaline's Housewarming Party @ One Central Park - We had a small gathering at Tourmaline's new home at One Central Park, Chippendale which is conveniently located opposite UTS. The funny thing was that I was the one who recommended the apartment as I have plans to buy an apartment there but she beat me to it by moving in quickly. One Central Park is a new development by Singapore's FRASERS Property. More info can be found at http://www.centralparksydney.com/


Tourmaline informed me to make salad and I tried my best to make one but the eggs turned out oddly shaped as I think my knife was not sharp enough. I should seriously invest in a proper egg cutter.


Tourmaline made really delicious honey baked Char Siew and Sambal prawns. Claire and Lynn brought egg tarts and a chestnut cake which tasted rather unique. After a delicious dinner and drinks, we started playing Blackjack aka "21" with Lynn's Hello Kitty poker cards. We had a enjoyable time and I won the most money as I was made the banker during the last 3 rounds and luckily I had "Blackjack"! We used real candy sweets as chips but there was one person who was silly enough to eat the candy which immediately became a loss of 50 cents. We were laughing so hard it was hilarious!



Oh yes, earlier in the day I went for a Real Estate Property Seminar at Sofitel Wentworth Hotel and I learned quite a great deal. The big difference between Positive and Negative Cash Flow and how to make money without having to invest your time in exchange for it. It was an entire day seminar by Property Guru - Dymphna Boholt who went from Zero to become a global real estate millionaire with a portfolio of $3.5 million in less than 18 months.

On a different day, I also had a small cozy dinner at Wagaya Japanese Restaurant with my girlfriends Lynn and Mei Foong. I guess you can't have Chinese food everyday and after all, sushi is still my favorite!!
