Philippine Team wins! Biggest shock EVER in the history of the Suzuki cup!

…To quote the commentator in last nights football friendly match against the defending champs (AND host country) Vietnam. TD and I were able to watch the amazing game via live internet streaming and we were ecstatic and amazed at the first goal, then just jumped for joy in our study room when the 2nd goal was made.
Congratulations Philippine Team!
They are currently top of Group B (composed of Myanmar, the defending champions Vietnam and the three-time champs Singapore) To emphasize what an amazing victory this was let me quote some of the news articles/posts about it:
Television commentators called it the biggest shock in the tournament’s history.
The Filipino team in the AFF Suzuki Cup stunned the defending champion, also the host country, Vietnam in front of 40,000 Vietnameseaudience held at the My Dinh Stadium, Hanoi.
"Vietnam's soccer team head coach Henrique Calisto (R) refuses to shake hands with Philippines' soccer team head coach Simon McMenemy (C) after their qualifying round match at the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup 2010 soccer tournament at My Dinh stadium in Hanoi December 5, 2010."

Awfully Chocolate @ VivoCity Singapore
Every time my husband and I pass through Senopati Street in Jakarta, we are always intrigued by this stark white store with such minimalist & utterly chic interiors (SO my style!). It had only one sign: “Awfully Chocolate.” And I always think, whatever is in there must be awfully delicious!

I did some research on the internet for where we could eat dinner, prior to dessert at Awfully Chocolate. The names that came up where Kim Gary (HK style cafe), Shin Kushiya (Jap charcoal grill) and Brontzeit (German food & beer). I had a hard time finding more recent blogs on VivoCity restaurants, so I’d love any comments on how accurate my research was!

Bosses Restaurant @ VivoCity Mall Singapore
As I was looking for a resto for dinner at VivoCity, I stumbled on many good reviews for Bosses Restaurant (especially the dimsum).
Read MoreBody Bumpin’ in VivoCity, Singapore
I had a pretty unpleasant experience last night. I was going to surprise my husband with a birthday cake at Awfully Chocolate’s newest global branch in VivoCity, Singapore. I totally regretted choosing this particular branch (I guess “newest” and “global branch” don’t necessarily mean it’s the best). Walking around the mall was an absolute nightmare. And for some reason people didn’t look where they were going! It’s like playing dodgeball, trying avoid these people who just ram into at you! How rude. No concept of staying in your “lane” (usually right in the Philippines or left in Indonesia) or just being conscious that there are other people around you. So anyway I told myself the next time I’d encounter someone not looking where he/she is going, I’d just stop and give them time to notice me and to veer away.
So we were on the way out when this ugly (in my mind she was), high-heeled, sequin-clad girl was talking to her friend while bearing down on me. I stopped and looked at her politely. The girl didn’t even pause, she hit the left side of my body full force and let out some bitchy remark. It sounded Chinese. I was pissed! SHE bumped me and she had the gall to be mad?!? “Watch it!” I shouted back (I should have come up with something more distasteful that would’ve clearly communicated that she was the one who wasn’t watching where she was going). And our friend told me that this was a normal occurrence here, and people don’t even bother saying excuse me or I’m sorry. It was so sad to hear, I hoped it was just the mall that we went to.
VivoCity was crowded, noisy and there were long lines for the restaurants. I was expecting something different because it was supposed to be the biggest mall in Sing. Big mistake. Any recommendations on which malls to hit next time I’m in Sing?
