"Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!"

“Champagne makes you feel like it’s Sunday and better days are just around the corner." (Marlene Dietrich)


Champagne brunches on a Sunday in Singapore are an institution with all the major hotels hosting at least one. Starting between 11am and 12pm, and going on for 3 to 4 hours they are more 'unch' than 'br'.



With a variety of buffet stations invariably including seafood, sushi, roast, omelette, cheese and pudding sections there is food for all pallets. Also included is free flow champagne, red and white wine and fruit juice along with speciality drinks depending on the venue such as champagne cocktails, bloody marys and martinis. Thankfully, there's a cool website that researches all the best places for us! http://www.singaporesundaybrunch.com/

My only regret in life is that I did not drink more Champagne." (John Meynard Keynes)

Not wanting to have regrets in life, we've jumped into the brunches once a month. For us girls, it's a good chance to get together, talk, quaff champers, and stuff our faces with fine food! For the first brunch, we hit Senso...smaller then the big hotels but with an extra hour for the Proseco. Delicious!


This past Sunday, we upped the glam and hit the Ritz Carlton. FANCY! With over 50 cheeses to choose from, a seafood spread, and Moet and Chandon on FREE-FLOW, we were in heaven!
"Three be the things I shall never attain: envy, content and sufficient Champagne." (Dorothy Parker)

Bond...James Bond!

599 movies are released into cinemas every year...that doesn't include the made-for-TV movies or the Bollywood films; we are flooded with things to watch and with CSI on almost every night, it's a wonder anyone has time for anything else.

Going to the cinema is fun. The popcorn, the previews, the martinis! Wait; what makes me excited are events! Events with martinis are even better. Events with martinis, dresses, tuxedos and...James Bond! What a brilliant night!

Held at the Mandarin Oriental (swish, just like Bond!) I met up with my friend Rebecca. She invited me to a great event: James Bond, Quantum of Solace in Singapore!

We met at a meditation class. We can meditate ANYWHERE!

We ate canapes, we drank themed martinis (Dr. No, Goldfinger, Casino Royale) and then we took a bus. All of us - in our tuxedos and Bond dresses!

Then, we watched the Quantum of Solace in Gold Class. Gold Class is the best way to watch movies; you have a waiter on call, a blanket, a recliner and a huge screen...plus a long list of drinks, food and surround sound.

This event was organized by my new friend Per. I don't know if he wants to be friends but we are kindred spirits by the fact that we like to get people together and plan things (in our free time/at work) for them to do.

This is Mark and Simone...some glamorous friends of Per's that came along to the event. They are now my friends. See how easy it is! People love events!

Most of this crowd works at DHL. (Good use of office time Per!) Now, I'll include them in my events!

The movies rates in at 7/10 but the party was a definite 10/10!
