Pizza, Pasta and cocktails beckon this 8th April.
Watch out for The Green Room Cafe/ Canopy food review on the week on 8th April :)

I read all about the nice ambience, so I'll have a look for myself next week.
Having previously done PR for Michelangelo's and Original Sin, Singapore's 1st vegetarian restaurant, I'll love to have a look at The Green Room's vegan menu!

Thanks to the Openrice team for the invite :D

To be honest, when I was first invited by Omy.sg to the screening of the movie, Morning Glory, I had no idea what it was about apart from the fact that Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford were in it.





I read that the movie was from the screen writers of The Devil Wears Prada, and the director of Notting Hill. And together with the fact that McAdams was in it, I thought yea maybe I'll go catch it. Rachel McAdams as you might have known, has acted in The Notebook and Mean Girls and she's far from mean.

In the movie, Rachel plays Becky Fuller, a 28 year old assistant producer who gets the axe when her small town TV station hires an MBA as their senior producer. She moves to New York to work as an assistant producer at Daybreak, the national morning news show that is almost pulled from the station due to it's plunging viewership ratings. Yes you can expect the whole girl meets guy thing and girl and guy fall in love, it's after all a romantic comedy with way too much exaggerated acting. But on the whole, the plot did manage to reduce me (and I heard Estelle) to tears. It also gave the audience a nice peek into what goes behind the production of news. Giving you insights into how the VDR and teleprompter works, how anchors are cued, how voice overs, and images are cut into the footage. All of which was fun for me to watch having some prior knowledge about there in TV production classes taken in my undergrad days. Reviving a struggling morning show program with warring co-hosts when one's an ex beauty queen and the other a legendary TV news anchor who feels he's too good to do lifestyle news makes for a bunch of laughs.

Expect Becky to save the day in more ways than 1, by first being the catalyst or rather the one that makes it happen for her team (which didn't quite know how to work together and was really a dysfunction lot), and the one who manages to earn the respect of the nasty Mike Pomeroy played by Ford. Only with Becky did he show the niceties of being human.

ST Life! only have the movie 2 stars out of 5, but I reckon it deserves 3 or 3.5 stars, most romantic comedies have a thin plot afterall isn't it. But the jokes peppered throughout the show did make up for it all, I was half worried my boyfriend being him, will not enjoy this much but he and the whole cinema was laughing quite hard. I think imdb is a much better guage and the movie scored an average of 6.6 and 4 stars out of 4 from over 6000 movie goers.

I did enjoy the soundtrack of the movie, so here goes.

Fancy tucking into a nice thick toast that's crisp on the edges? check out Afteryou cafe in Bangkok.

Signature dishes include Shibuya, a thick toast drizzled with maple syrup, whipped cream, almonds, and 2 giant scoops of vanilla ice cream. The thickness of the toast is at least twice that of Hong Kong cafes in Singapore. Or the egg toast, that comes in a hollowed out thick toast stuffed with cheese, ham and topped off with an egg.

Lip smacking goodness.

Chocolate buffs - be teased by an aptly named cuppa "French Kiss", higher in its cocoa content than their "Hot Chocolate" drink. The little french kiss is practically molten chocolate. On my first sip I scored a little bit of chocolate that was still in its solid form.

Other really good stuff include their pancakes which come in a size larger than a personal pan pizza. Lovely.

I've included a map for those who are keen.
To get there take a BTS to Thong Lor station, and hitch a ride on a taxi, or perhaps walk.

Bangkok. Most people think it's all about shopping, temples and (for quite awhile, the red shirts) but here's a place that really blew me away.

Praya Palazzo.
I was lucky enough to have been brought to Praya Palazzo, an old venetian style hotel set on the river of the Chao Praya. Built in the 1920s, the building was first a residence, then a school and today a luxury hotel.

Yes I wasn't the best history student but I can say I love my museums and architecture alot more than most people.

The rates start at 10,000THB a night to 30,000THB (420 to 1250SGD). There are only 17 rooms and 1 suite, so book early if you are really keen.

The authenticity of the fixtures and decor, gives Raffles Hotel a run for their money anytime. Accessible only by private boat, this place is perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city, and is perfect for a wedding.

Here's a video of a couple's wedding at Praya Palazzo,


It's really a charming charming place. Check out the pictures :)

Clinched a deal to do 4R instant photography for the good people at FJBenjamin and Girard Perregaux.

Here are some pictures of us at work.

So my web business was recently featured on Cozycot.com

As a trained PR person , needless to say I was Super psyched :)
