My Love for Cow Hide

December 27, 2008 by Regina Chow No Comments
JW has been going around telling his friends that I almost bought a cow hide rug for our living room.
Not just that.

I wanted to pay for it out of my own pocket.

I swear I’ll never even dream of paying that kind of price for a bag..er except for Chanel..but well, that’s not the point.

So yes, other than the Louis Ghost Chair, I have fallen prey to cow hide rugs.

Cow hide rugs add an interesting perspective to the room, especially if baroque accents are included. The juxtaposition of modern and classical elements creates a very luxurious and stylish look. I’ll let the pictures do the talking:

Yoo furnishings (its design team includes Philippe Starck, Jade Jagger & Marcel Wanders)

I was so taken by it at evov living that I wanted to bring it home immediately. It would already be in our new home if not for the fact that our tempered glass coffee table would inevitably leave a dent on that beautiful piece of art.

Because of that, we went home with a furry grey and white rug instead. It was a real steal too, thanks to the shop’s clearance sale haha.

I must say that evov living has top notch service staff. I’ll definitely go back there to get that piece of cow hide when I decide to forsake my coffee table, which won’t be any time soon (I swear I can hear JW heave a sigh of relief).

Now I’m wondering if we should get the furry cushions from evov to match our new rug.

Ok… now I think I can hear JW’s heart beat twice as fast as his normal pace. His heart must be in his throat now hahaha.

What a terrible gf I am..:P

Photo Updates – TCC at Marina@ Keppel Bay & Amara Sanctuary

December 27, 2008 by Regina Chow No Comments
After EC’s wedding about 2 weeks back, we adjourned to TCC at Marina@Keppel Bay for a cuppa. We wanted to go to Prive initially, but the sluggish old prude in me decided to settle for somewhere with a little peace and quiet, where alcohol was non-existent.





Last week, we were at Amara Sanctuary for an ROM ceremony. in the morning. It was held in a glass pavillion tucked amidst lush greenery and furnished with Ghost chairs by Philippe Starck.

I was out drinking at Wala’s the night before with some colleagues, and was pretty much in a daze until I saw the Ghost chairs and exclaimed aloud, “GHOST CHAIR!!!” to all those around me.

That was the moment when I really woke up I think. Thank goodness that was before the bride and groom came in. 🙂

My immense fascination with the chair has been driving everyone crazy.

It was quite an eye-opening experience for me as I have never seen a bride arriving in a buggy, so I whipped out my cam and started taking pics. I’m very proud of my pictures because I managed to take them without compromising the bride’s privacy. 🙂 I love her flouncy gown and pretty yellow flowers ( I think they’re lilies).

I barely had time to put on any make-up or style my hair. Rushed out with sunblock, eyeliner, a dash of mascara and a hairclip. Check out JW’s puzzled look. He just couldn’t wipe that expression off his face despite repeated photo-taking.

We had buffet lunch at the restaurant nearby. Service was excellent. Strangely enough, I think I was the only one in there who was asked to fill up a feedback form. There can only be two reasons – One, I look like the sort who would lavish compliments, or two, I look like the boss’s daughter.

I was telling JW that Amara Sanctuary is the most “atas” hotel on the sunny island of Sentosa. When he conveyed that to the couple, the groom told the bride “eh you’re almost as atas as Regina now.” The couple kept saying that even as we were bidding them goodbye. Hahaha

I have no idea why I give others such an impression hahaha…I don’t have enough dough to be atas you know!! ;P

And, I’m still waiting for people to contribute to our common toilet fund!!
