River Garden Coffee House (Open 24 Hours Every Day)

ABBEY: I was hungry when we're about to go to Zouk for Nylon's first anniversary. Since we were early for the event, we stroll around to satisfy the need of my tummy. 

Then we came to River Garden Coffee House. They are offering local, Malay, Indonesian, and Western cuisines. I tried their The Gourmet Aussie Burger with "The Lot". This is what I love with hotel restaurants, when you order something, it will definitely be served special and big. The big beef burger is mouth-watering and moist. It comes with large fries with dip. I was very full after the meal. 

I even finished Wilma's order of chicken rice. That too was delicious. 








WILL: We are too early for the Nylon Singapore's 1st Anniversary Party that held in Zouk and Abbey & I were both starving then. We walked around the area and saw the Riverview Hotel. 
      As we approached, the staff immediately assisted us for an al fresco dining, but we requested to seat inside due to the hot weather. 
      We sat and think what to order. When I saw their Hainanese Chicken Rice I am wishing that I taste this similar to my best hainanese chix I ate in Harbour View Hotel in Sarawak Malaysia. With high hope, I waited for my order. 
      The chicken is very tender and dips blended well with the chicken and rice. Great taste! It really proved that different chef, different taste of foods to cook! 
      They have a very polite and all-smile staffs! Thumbs-up for their fast service and relaxing ambiance.

Kindness Day SG 2013 by Singapore Kindness Movement

ABBEY: A couple of weeks back Singa the Lion, the official ambassador of Singapore Kindness Movement in spreading good deeds to people resigned. The world celebrated Kindness Day last week and Singapore held its first Kindness Day on May 31. 

Successive Kindness Days will be on every last Friday of the month of May. It drizzled that day but the show must go on. DJs from FM radio 98 hosted it enthusiastically. Individuals and organization who showed activities of goodness were awarded a token of appreciation. 

It must not be a big act for you to be noticed; in small ways we can spread kindness like smiling or greeting people you met in elevators or giving up your seat to person who needs it more. I was teary-eyed during the ceremony as these people do "ordinary" things but made an extra ordinary impact to the recipients. 

Attendees were served a cocktail for refreshment. Free cruises on Singapore river were offered. We got our goodie bag compose of a shirt, sunflower floater, paper for making sunflower origami and discount coupons. Live bands and performers rendered their arts for entertainment. 

I hope someday I'll be able to share more kindness.










WILL: Before the posting of Yahoo! News that Singapore ranks as world's emotionless society, Prime Minster Goh aims Singapore to be a gracious society and my husband and I are supporters of his advocacy. 
      We are thrilled that our work scheduled conformed with the inaugural of the Singapore's Kindness Day last 31st of May. Not only me and hubby went there but we also asked our friend to go with us and we were happy that she agreed even it is raining so hard, well rain is a blessing from above :) 
     The event started and a very inspirational message was given by Dr. William Wan and Koh Poh Tiong. Then the token of appreciation was given to the Kindred Spirit Circle...groups doing simple things to improve the lives of others not only here but also outside of this island. Their deeds and most special message of two person behind this project moved us, they are truly correct, it takes only a smile from one man will make a difference. Let's take our part to achieve the goal of this society. 
     Me? I pledge to be more happy in answering calls from our clients. You? Will you pledge for a change?

Disney•Pixar’s: Monsters University (2013)

ABBEY: Mike, Sulley and Boo made a great combination on Monster's Inc and I liked the movie. So I was excited when I knew that there is a prequel for that. 

As shown on the trailer, this is the story of the humble and sometimes "crazy" beginnings  of the duo; how they aspire to become the number one monster and how they did it.




WILL: I know you heard the news! Monsters Inc finally have a part two, but well not exactly second part, here we will be taken back to the time at the Monsters University. 
      As I remember the part 1 of this film, it taught me that love and happiness has a very great difference against "fear". Love being happy and happy being in love is the one of the exceptional and really powerful feeling the human will ever felt. 
      I am really excited to go back in time and watch Monsters University. I am really curious what are the curriculum on that school. Hoping a lot of laughs from Mike and Sulley. :)
