What an awesome venue! And night!
Last night we went to the East Coast Park location of Timbre Mobile to listen to Singapore based Corinne Gibbons and Opshop from New Zealand perform live. What a great way to end the weekend ... which BTW for me started on Thursday night and had me a little bit exhausted by last night!! So all the more impressive that I had such a brilliant evening.
First of all .. what an amazing setup! Located mysteriously adjacent to the C1 parking lot on East Coast Park, this green opening close to the beach has a mobile stage, bar and modular tables and chairs made out of funky plywood boards. Totally cool and eco-friendly. Now, the sound system is out of this world. All the more impressive for this is a temporary setup. Listening to great bands on a kick-ass sound system is a rush. And the menu, albeit simple, is all you really need for such an evening. A glass of beer and great pizza served on wooden cutting boards to add to the musical performances.
The concept of Timbre Mobile is, well, that it's mobile. It stays in each location for 4 months and then moves on. April is the last month at this location, after which I think it moves to the West Coast.
And I hear they have live music every night, except Monday nights. Danny and the Timbre Group ... well done. Fantastic concept!
So come over for a casual night of great music, in an outdoor casual setting and excellent pizza & beer. And if it's your first time ... come a bit early ... this parking lot is a bit hard to find!!
It was good! Very good! I was a bit skeptical about the brunch at Four Seasons, primarily because it's inside a confined space with not much connection to the exterior (that's why I love the Sentosa Spa & Resort brunch!!), but I have to say the intimacy of the setting worked. And of course, it's a Veuve brunch ... so it's definitely top notch!
The selection and quality of food is superb and as you would expect from a Four Seasons hotel ... the environ refined. We didn't sit in the main eating area, but instead were in the sunken lounge area with coffee tables and a more relaxed feel. Definitely a more informal touch to a Sunday classic ...
Just got back from the Four Seasons Hotel where MediaCorp hosted the 3rd annual Singapore Woman Award 2010. The show started off with comedian extraordinaire Pamela Oei ... I had such a great laugh! She did a take-off on being a parking attendant here in Singapore, and pulling in all the humorous elements of the multi-cultural city we live in. Luved it!
This year there were 5 finalists: Dale Emily Edmonds, Lynda Goh Shu Lin, Melissa Kwee, Cheryl Lee and Amy Tan. What an inspiring set of ladies. Well done! And especially to Amy Tan, who took the award for 2011.
And gosh, when will I ever learn that in Singapore ... when you go to such functions in hotels ... wear some clothes! The air-con was blasting ... and I was freezing in my short-sleeved shirt!!! I looked great ... but nevertheless came back an ice cube!!
