Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Friday the 14th was the launch of the new Les Mills program releases at True Fitness. And since Christmas is looming near, the GX team decided to add some Xmas spirit cheer into the event as well. Hence, the studios were decorated with Xmas deco and lightings and who else would you expect to see at the launch if not Santa. The launch began with Body Pump and followed suit with Body Combat. In both the classes, Santa was there to ‘mingle’ / kacau around with the participants. It was really fun and members were given a nice li’ll candy pack after each class. The other Les Mills programs were launched the very next day but I can’t tell you much about it since I wasn’t there. For more info and photos, you can go over to Su Yee or Alexander’s blogs respectively.

After the launch, a group of us went for dinner. The plan was to head to TGIF mainly for the free drink refills but unfortunately, they had a problem with their kitchen and hence, the menu was limited to four dishes only. So we made our way to a fairly new place in Jaya 33 itself … The Italianne Kitchen. The food was good and the service excellent. After our meal, Steph and I decided to fill up their comment card and under ‘How may we serve you better’ column, we wrote ‘Free dessert’. Next thing you know, a huge piece of chocolate cake was sent to our table. The owner, Mr. Sia came over to chat for a while. Really nice chap. His restaurant used to be located in Sea Park for the past five years and since his lease was up, he decided to move his business to Jaya33 instead. Good for us no? Hahaha. So if you’re in the area, do pop in and savour what they have to offer … good stuff there peeps.

On Saturday, the good people at Fitness First had a party or sorts for their GX Team. Venue was at Cineleisure and the theme was ‘Night of Angels’. Most of us went for the casual authentic dress code ala British India and a few really went all out to dress to kill. My hats off to Nick and You KH but they pulled it off really well. Well, some people just have it in them I suppose. So unfair hor … *grumble grumble* :p

Anyway, FF booked the Premier Lounge and we chilled out there. Some fun and games, the introduction of a certain Mr. Frank Drew as new Regional Manager (I think) and a video all the way from HK by Suhaimi and Jackson concluded the pre dinner itenary. Dinner was catered from Bistro 1920 and food was scrumptious. Oh yea, there was also a lucky draw … so many prizes to be won and I got zilch … *grumble grumble*. Well, perhaps next year then … haha. With our bellies filled to the brim, we made our way to Theater 4. FF actually managed to book the entire theater for us to catch Will Smith’s latest blockbuster, I Am Legend. If you ask me, the movie deserve a 3/5 star rating. And it’s rather short too but the scene where Will narrated Shrek was priceless. Haha.

Let’s see, Sunday was spent doing classes. I had three in total and it was a good opportunity for me to practice doing the new BC release. Surprisingly no screw up in the choreo, so WOO HOO!!! Now just have to work on adding in the magic fitness. By the time I finished my third class, I was thoroughly famished and it was a good thing too cause Steph brought me to a nice quaint Korean Restaurant in Taipan (can’t remember the name … too hungry at that time). We ate A LOT and food was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. The juicy tender barbequed pork belly slices, more pork in special marinated sauce, the ever abundant side dishes, the Bi Bim Bab ... slurpsss.

After dinner, we caught the Man Utd vs Liverpool match on tele. A good match and lucky goal was the perfect day to sum up the weekend. Haha ... now only 1 point away from the top of the table. Gunners beware!!!

How was your weekend? :)

P.S. Oh oh ... can you guess who was playing Santa??? No prizes for the right answer ya. :P
