Today is Li Xiang 25th birthday! This year is a little bit more relax for us as we manage to have the whole day to ourselves.

We had dinner at TWG Tea at Ion Orchard as Li Xiang always wanted to try the dessert and tea there.

The main courses there are a little on the pricey side. It ranges from SGD$27 to SGD$32 and there are like like 5 choices of main course available. Not forgetting the portion is kinda little. I would not recommend having any full meal there.

Shrip Beignets (SGD$27)

Pike Perch Fillet (SGD$28)

On the other hand, the tea and dessert there are pretty good. There are like hundreds of tea selection available which I really do not know how to start choosing. The price starts at SGD$10 per pot, a pot is enough for 2 persons. We ordered the Happy Birthday tea which fits today’s occasion. The Happy Birthday tea is a little fruity!

Happy Birthday Tea (SGD$10.50)

There are some cakes available but we did not order them. Instead we ordered a Carrousel which is basically a very large Macarons filled with Strawberries and their homemade cream. We also did ordered two ala carte Macarons at SGD$2 each. The Macarons at TWG is nice, it is not too sweet.

Macaron (SGD$2 each)

Total bill amounted to SGD$93.55 after 7% GST and 10% service charge!

We donated SGD$10 to the We Are One charity project at Ion and we are entitled to placed 5 Lego bricks!

Another charity post to accumulate my good karma. Brother will have a charity auction this Friday, 31st July 2009 at the Brother Customer Service Centre located on Level 1, Gateway East, 152 Beach Road, Singapore 189721.

This charity Auction is to raise funds for Brother’s adopted charity organization: Asian Women Welfare Association (AWWA). The Asian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA) is a registered voluntary welfare organization that has a membership body, its own constitution and by-laws. AWWA was established in 1970 and has been maintaining comprehensive programs that target children, youth, adults and families to empower them by maximizing their potential for independence. As a charitable organization they do not receive regular corporate support and hence Brother Singapore is the ‘pioneer’ of corporate participation in AWWA activities.

20 Brother laser and Multi-Function inkjet printers will be available at the charity auction. On top of that, there will be two special deal auctions and the minimum bid starts as low as $10!

Tampines 1 will celebrate its official opening ceremony next week on the Friday, 17th July 2009 and on the Saturday, 18th July 2009, there will be a SWOP party at its Roof Garden.

The SWOP Party helps encourage recycling where anyone can come by to exchange their clothes and accessories with others. Highlights of the SWOP Party include donations from popular fashion brands like Adidas, Diva, Dorothy Perkins, Esprit, G2000, Springfield, and Topshop, free flow of ice-cream for participants, and live DJ music. Additionally, there will be a SWOP-me Cosy corner, to keep accompanying partners who are there to support their friend/ spouses entertained.
