Sunday Pitstop

Healthy campaign at Citis Square officiated by the Minister of Health

This was kinda of a cool way to work out (or body bump). Taken at the National Hockey Field at Berakas and conducted by Fitness Zone

I was quite impressed with the students from Business School. This year’s carnival was quite happening. More details on that later and it was also good to see some dedicated students too. I’m a sucker for young entrepreneurs *lol*

Thank Carol You Zhen Lim for the quick breakie at Countrypatch. I realised Countrypatch is always popular from Friday to Sunday hence no reservations can be taken during the weekend

Today’s the final day and it will last till 6pm. Plenty of baby clothes too which are selling pretty well.

I have been stocking up bananas for my Zell-V supplements. Don’t ask me why. It’s self-explanatory *lol*

Well, this is where I’m updating my post for today and also the first half of my pitstops.. So do catch me on Twitter @ranoadidas and instagram for updates 😀

Congratulations to Izzy (Iskandar) and Rina on their Bersanding event. Sorry I couldn’t make it to your evening function and all the best to you guys

A stopover at iLotus Restaurant to catch up with Sarina at her mom’s Open House function

I was quite impressed with Sweet Garden Tea Party at Rimba. It was full house and do expect this concept to happen on a monthly basis and this also depends on the weather

I admire these two ladies because of their dedication to sustain their branding and food product at the same time. This is no easy feat but both these ladies are great examples for the rest to follow. I headed off to Berakas to pick up some brownies and cupcakes 😀

CNY Open House among the families of the Sius as it was their turn to host. It was also a celebration for Alvin Siu’s birthday which falls on Monday (tomorrow). Enjoy the ukelele, dude!!
