2 Degree Ice Art Exhibition

We decided to do something different that day. Rather than the usual movie dates/lazing at home, we went to check out the ice sculptures at the makeshift convention centre near MBS.

It cost us S$32 per pax with 10% discount for some card...i forgot which though. 

The exhibition hall was kept at sub zero degree, specifically -15 degree celsius, using the world's most advanced refrigeration technology from Germany.

20 prominent ice carving master from Harbin, China, were specially invited to carve a variety of iconic world landmarks (e.g. the Eiffel tower).

We posed with raffles hotel....i think?? lol.

melted ice...i could hardly see what it was...

unfortunately, when we went to for the exhibition, the ice sculptures seemed to have melted slightly and lost some the detailing. As such, many of the sculptures were not that spectacular, which real was quite a pity.

Considering i spent half a year in wintery Canada where temperatures dropped to crazy lows of -24 degree celsius, you would think that i could deal well with -15 degree celsius but boy...was i freezing my ass off.

i really hate the cold.

i can't stand how my skin dries up like crocodile scaled and how my toes start losing sensation from frostbite.

After barely an hour in the exhibition hall, i had to scatter out of there to warm up. 

my lil' penguin(s)...haha.

Happy ending :D

haha, with frozen toes...thanks to my fantastic idea of wearing flats w/o socks.

*pat on back*

sobs.

Overall, the ice exhibition was something different from the usual dates but not really worth the money. I believe it should have been better when it was first opened and the ice sculptures had yet to melt.

In addition, we seemed to have missed out the ice bar :(

CG XMAS PARTY 2013 ON 22 December 2013

we had our annual xmas party at Lakeshore Condo (David's place) this year.

can i just rave about how awesome his function room is!

There is a modern looking kitchen right in the function room.

The only qualm that i might have is that the place is a bit small.

Nonetheless, it was one of the best cg xmas parties we've had so far!

Aga helping me out with the deco

the best cook around - Yang Hong (our amazing cell group leader) and his equally fabulous fiancé, lilian.

Don't the kebabs look absolutely delectable?!

sandwiches made by Shiqi

The Shepard's pie was really good! I was quite impressed! David and Daniel's creations - of course with help from Yang Hong's receipe!

The Turkey.

I don't really fancy turkeys, i find them a bit too dry for my liking though.

was put in charge of the deco this year and juwi brought some amazing deco from her previous xmas party. 

I think we did a pretty good job at doing up the function room that day.

All the cheery colors (blue and silver was the color theme by the way) and the good food made for an incredible party.
