MOMOTEAPOTS!
here's the blog of MMTP, mostly heart-thoughts of Ser (and some of Matt's). this journals everything from our travels to our boutique/online store to random quips like why the sky is blue.

hello again. went for the Nokia event for the new Lumia 610 the other day at group therapy (a cafe) and it was good! they provided so much food and it was a nice cosy event!
anyway, as some people will know, i'm quite a loner, and so i was so super glad that yina also went for the event! stole this pic from her:


the first thing we did when we reached the place was go straight to the food. come to think about it, we must have looked really hungry/greedy :S we started eating quite a bit - the quiche and duck salad were really good - and by the time the event started we were full!  the thing is, after the nokia person introduced the new lumia 610, we were told by the organisers that it was time for dinner! yina and i were super shocked - we thought that the quiche and salads were our dinner already and we were so full by then! BUT of course, how could we miss out on good food right? i said to yina "see lar, told you don't eat so much just now already... just now was just starters and we ate so much already....", but a few seconds after saying that we went for our second meal in 1h, and had pasta, soup and blahblahblah. being cheapo meant that i had to try a bit of everything, including all the desserts - really eat until can puke. thinking back, i'm so thankful that my XS topman denim shirt didnt burst.

anyway, i feel like i should talk a little about the phone as it's really quite an awesome phone! who knows, i might be a good famous tech blogger in future, and people would come to my blog for good advice/reviews on phones, cameras and other gadgets. (still dreaming about being a famous blogger, you might have realised.)

one thing that struck me the most is how affordable the Lumia 610 is! for singtel users, it's just $48 with iOne Plus contract (the cheapest $25.68/month plan), and $0 with most other mobile subscription plans.  and the phone is just $379 without any plan! it's probably the cheapest smartphone in the market right now, and i would say it might just be the best deal! the phone is really user-friendly (almost dummy-proof) and it has everything that i would need in a phone (you could download all your apps just like iPhone) and it has a 5mp camera! to be extremely honest, i can't think of anything that i need/use currently (on my current iPhone 4S) that cannot be found/gotten with the lumia 610.
for more info: (i stole this from nokia's website)


i would give this phone a 9/10 taking into account everything! i think it would be perfect for anyone on a budget (esp young students who are getting their first phones - but then again, i notice that many young primary school kids are getting expensive phones like iPhones and the Samsung Galaxy phones these days.........kids these days........), or anyone who is getting a smartphone for the first time, or just anyone who loves a great deal!

i can't stop blogging - weird addiction.
anyhow, thought i should post a preview of the items to be launched in our next momoteapots collection! really pretty stuff!

hello all, i'm trying to blog more frequently now that i have got the time. was talking to yina the other day, and it got me thinking whether i can be a famous blogger too, haha. took me only 2seconds to figure that i'm probably not blogger material. but then again, what makes a good blogger? hmm. okay, i have no brilliant answer for that, but i think one key thing about good bloggers is that they are always genuine in what they blog, or at least they make themselves look genuine. i dare say i have been pretty genuine when i blog, so i have the makings of a good blogger? hehe AWESOME.
(afterthought: i think and i know this whole paragraph looks ridiculous! first i say i'm no blogger material, and then a few lines later i say i have the makings of a good blogger?! this is awkward.)

okay, anyway, i always like eating, like (almost) everyone else, and so i thought i should blog about a restaurant i have been to twice in the last 2 months! it's called il lido, an italian dining restaurant at sentosa golf club. went there first cos the law peeps got the restaurant week deal, and we all loved the food there. decided to go there again with Serene for my birthday but the food somehow tasted less good the second time round.
and because pictures say more than words, i should let them do all the talking!

first visit (executive summary): law peeps, restaurant week, buggy ride from carpark to the club, very nice food, $35++, super duper uber full. Verdict: 8/10.

second visit (executive summary): with serene, my birthday celebration, weekend set lunch, $58++, food below expectation (it was really so-so for a good restaurant), a strand of hair found in both our main courses (weirdly), declined any offer of compensation but they still gave a complimentary dessert (over and above the dessert in the set menu), super duper uber full once again - shirt exploding. Verdict - 5/10.

Pardon my ignorance - those are actually clams (i revisited the website and saw the menu again).

This video of the bugis car accident is so scary! Taken by the person in the cab right beside the poor cab that got hit (no idea why the person videoing was videoing). Everything just happened so quickly, and the impact was outrageous. I feel so sorry for the poor cabbie and the passenger in the cab, RIP.

And: (I actually find this pic below pretty weird! I don't think I look like this normally, but couldn't find many other pics and so i'm using this! And that's Cindy&Aldrich and Joanne&Andrej!)
