Departing on my Maiden Trip to Bangkok, Thailand
Finally, I’m heading to Bangkok!! 
That’s right, I planned to visit Bangkok, Thailand last year but due to my busy schedule, I have postponed it to this year. On the brighter note, my dear friend, Darren Ang, will be accompanying me on this trip to and best of all, DEAL.com.sg is sponsoring us on our 4D3N Bangkok Trip.
The initial price of the Bangkok shopping trip voucher listed on DEAL.com.sg cost S$188 excluding airport taxes that cost S$195. In total, it amounts to S$383 per person and I felt that is was a good deal as it is inclusive of flight by Thai Airways, hotel stay at Bangkok City with daily breakfast, airport transfers and half day guided tour! Darren was the one who did the bookings and do visit his blog to find out his experience with the travel agency.

My Sold.sg Valentine’s Day Charity Dinner Date at Limoncello Italian Restaurant
Last week, I blogged about an auction on Sold.sg to bid for a Charity Valentine’s Dinner Date with me to help The Spastic Children’s Association of Singapore (SCAS) (link here). On Thursday, 16th February, I finally met the winner of the auction, errorbid, who “won” me for a dinner that is jointly organized by Omy.sg and sponsored by Limoncello Italian Restaurant. Including the $45 and the tokens purchased for bidding, I have raised $270 for SCAS and I am very happy to do my humble part for this charity auction.

On my way to the dinner, I was very curious who was “errorbid” as I seriously have no idea who was she or he. A lot of friends asked me about it too and would I still go out for dinner if the winner is a guy. Would that be awkward? Nope, it won’t be as the 10 bloggers and their auction winners were split into smaller groups for a group date dinner. Over at my table, there was me, Joanne-Marie Sim (in green dress) and William Tan (white shirt on the right) with our auction winners.
