Sembonia Bag 'My Style' - Bag Design Competition at Zirca

I happen to be one of the er.. lucky ones to be invited by The Missus to a Sembonia Bag Design Competition at Terka Zirca this evening. Frankly speaking, my impression of this brand is at least better than the parent brand Bonia. Somehow, it doesn't look too trying as Bonia with all the boring monograms mounted on it. At least I think if I'm a woman, I'd sling a Sembonia to work!

Like how Mindee Ong (881) flaunts it. Looks Prada-ish IMHO.

I'm sure it suits her pretty well!

We were late for the Fashion Show cos all of us were busy filling our growling tummies earlier at Central. When we reached there, a band was playing various commercial hits on an accoustic note. We plunged our asses comfortably on a sofa behind a pillar that was blocking our view. No wonder it was unoccupied in the first place.

Performing Jason Mraz's I'm Yours.

The door gift was pretty thoughtful too.

One of the door gifts.

Can you make out what is it?

A 1GB Thumbie!

Pretty cool design huh? There's even a $30 voucher in the bag. I wonder if I can use it to upgrade the thumbie to 2GB.

And the ladies.

Dear, Chewling and Evelyn.

My 1st clubbing experience with her.
I think she was hoping I could dance with her, but that never materialized!

Dear, I'll give you a private lap dance tomorrow ok? Shhh ~ Keep it on the low.

Then the results for the winning bag was going to be announced. While they were anticipating which design scored points, I was more interested in looking at some other bags: that is to keep an eye on my companions' belongings.

The results were announced within moments and Dear said that the winning design is not what they expected it to be. Oh no! But I don't really bother lah, all the while I was trying to get high with just one glass of Bourbon Coke. I'd wish Dear would invite me to a Prada Bag Design competition anytime. Hehe.

The event ended literally as soon as it started. That's it? Still hungry for entertainment and having time to kill, we ended up looking for somewhere to chill and landed ourselves at this dessert shop Nectarie le Dessert Patisserie in Clarke Quay, just beside Lunar.

Tiramisu with Coffee IC.

Raad Wine Pear Strudel with crustz that go Boomz.
(Throws out both palms wide open)
Can't detect any hint of red wine in the pear either.

Overall verdict: Slightly above mediocre.
Er.. Mediocre'dit' ?

I had an additional Iced Latte that tastes like Mcdonald's. The bill amounted to $48 which I think it's still ok given that we were very full after finishing the pastries. My personal favourite is still the Tiramisu as I'm a fan of coffee. It's not too sweet nor bitter, feels just nice on my tastebuds. At least it doesn't give me the twisted-lips effect like what the others did.

Service is applaudable, with the crew captain making sure we were shifted from a smoking area to a non-smoking area, as soon as someone from the non-smoking area left. Our order was also served promptly. Well, it'll be a nice place to visit if you just want a chill-out session.

Alas! That's our Friday evening! Can't wait to blog about the launch of HTC Tattoo at ButterFactory's, if I'm invited that is.
