Told you so

Remember the crazy neighbor I told you about a few posts back? And that I said we haven’t heard the last of it?

Well, she is back!

Came out of the elevator after a great evening with friends and was met by a very loud conversation. Through closed doors. That is an improvement though but am still waiting for her to smash the door taking it outside.

Yep, will admit that this a reality show that I do enjoy 🙂

I know am a bit late on this but congrats Sweden and Loreen on winning the Eurovision Song Contest that also took place on Saturday!!!

It is a great song (am not so sure on the dancing though…), I have only listened to a few of the other entries and in my opinion it was definitely the right song that won.

And nope, it has nothing to do with me being Swedish and biased. The song was simply the  best.

What a weekend it’s been!!! Am absolutely shattered but oh, it is so worth it.

On Saturday we had our Transformation in Humanity, Opening Hearts & Minds to Addiction Recovery Cocktail Benefit 2012 for WE CARE and it was a huge success. The grey clouds that worried us in the afternoon cleared up just in time, 400-500 guests attended, drinks were flowing, lots of laughter was heard all around, the Guest of Honor Michael Palmer (Speaker of Parliament) held a very good speech. The auction went well even if a bit slow at times. The entertainers did a fantastic job and even managed to get the ones who remained till the end to boogie it down. That created even more laughter.

And, best of all, we managed to raise 250.000 dollars (Singapore ones). A quarter of a million. I still have a hard time believing it. And there are more donations coming it which is just so fantastic.

I am so proud of everyone in the committee, it was hard work but we got there in the end and what matters most is that WE CARE now have more funds to continue their work.

Girls and guys – WE DID IT!!!!!

(as for yesterday, it was spent on the sofa doing absolutely nothing…)

One more hour to go…can already smell the weekend around the corner.

This must have been one of the longest days ever, every time I have looked at the watch only a few minutes have passed. Sigh. But soon, real soon, I am out of the office.

Have a great one dear readers!

I like my money right where I can see it – hanging in my closet

And so the mad period starts when going to Orchard Road (or any mall for that matter) means you need sharp elbows and the patience of a saint. The Great Singapore Sale starts today – and in a shopping crazy city, this is a huge event!!

Three more days to our event on Saturday and tonight we are meeting up to do a final run-through of the program. That is always a bit intense. But fun.

Now I just need to find a way to sell the remaining 8 tickets I have…

Don’t forget to remember

Another one gone too soon – R.I.P Robin Gibbs!

The dance floor upstairs sure has some great music playing now – Michael, Whitney, Donna, MCA and now Robin…
