Object of Desire 0018: Bottega Veneta Belly Intrecciato Napa

This is not necessary an object of desire...bcoz I already have this model from Bottega Veneta *click here to read*
I am in LOVE with this color --> COROT
yeah wat a weird name huh?

such a beautiful color and I don't have anything from this latest hue yet
:))))))))))))))))
Problem is....which other model should I get when I have almost every single module that suits me from Bottega Veneta?
Just bcoz I want to own something in this color. ARGHHHHHH

that reminds me, I haven't been posting about my bags lately....
OK ok ok soon soon..just watch this space :))
old habits die hard

I need to attend an AA session soon *or BA*
Hello my name is Monkey and I am a Bagaholic >.< 

The Final Grand Slam dinner at J&J, Singapore

It was a very important dinner...
the Final Grand Slam
so everything must be the bigger, the most expensive, the rarest, the most special, the spiciest, the most yummiest

Yup I've never had 2 bottles of La Grand Dame in one night with so many bottles of KRUG champagnes with all the special vintages. Trust me, I was hanging around the "minum" table for more yummy pour. Tee Hee Hee~~~


Roast porkie is a must with champagnes
even gweilos agreed hahahahahahaha
we were halfway chomping on these before more were unveiled....


a different version - Gourmet Roast Pork
-_-"
with its thin crispy skin and lining of fat and meat


the Guests aka Piranhas were fast
nom nom nom nom nom


J&J Jelina made this yummy awesome prawn noodle
she boiled everything form scratch
sorry, there isn't any noodles in my bowl coz I didn't wanna pile on the carbos. We were aiming for a 7pm to 5am partay kinda thing...

so instead of carbo/noodles, I piled on homemade crispy pork lard by J&J Jelina. Just like pop corn only yummier and more sinful. I supposed by piling on more greens innit makes me less guilty. But it isn't the same. You are what u eat...now Monkey pls avoid anymore sinful food for the next one month.

*suddenly mind went to last nite's sinful white truffle dinner at Cilantro.....-_-......failed*

She also made fish head curry!!!!!
everything gone so fast and the crowd were still arriving, filling up the front yard with ferocious cars.

*oh by the way, the police came around midnite....:P.....it wasn't a huge partay, just 25 odd adults but guess it must be the neighbours' farewell pressie to J&J*
**anyway no casualty...no one fell into the pool, or drain - unlike his neighbour who fell and had to be removed by special forces a few months ago...:P**

super awesome char kuey teow
Si Fu Lawrence was late bcoz he had to fulfill his duty and attended another event, rushed here in his smart shirt....dashed into the kitchen and started cooking....non-stop till midnite.
upon seeing him....the ladies gasped and said: "Now the REAL food is here"

I don't really know what do u call these
but it's succulent and juicy. Not everyone has the skill to consume it...hahahahaha

Baby lobsters
the heads were gone fast....I still think we should have took a few and made pasta instead
there were a few other clams and mollusc dishes that I forgot to snap pic

Baba Brain came with his cockles sambal
I was shouting among the crowd: "Where the nasi lemak????"
fresh juicy and spicy yo!!!!

Baba Brain's mom makes great otak-otak as well but since he's the one cooking, we didn't see any on that nite.

Ayam Buah Keluak
I can't remember if this was chicken or pork but usually it's chicken
a very very peranakan dish cooked by Baba Brain
*I can't even confirm if he's peranakan*
so u see Food and Wines unite ppl of different culture, personalities and interest.

Hokkien Mee was so good, Si Fu Lawrence did a few encore
:P
then JS also fried a few other dishes - which I didn't get to eat coz I was too bz drinking away, GOE made pork chop and who else cooked??? I really cannot remember much...blame it on the alcos.
there were really really a lot of other dishes and only managed to snap these few only.

I think by 9pm the M People were happy and merry to be fed with all the rare wines, champagnes and excellent food!!!!

J&J James bought one whole suckling pig and look how they molested this bugger?
it was cut into pieces and re-fried again.
aiks!!!!!

We had a few diff types of desserts as well....but I didn't snap any pics
I guess looking at the amount of food.....we can feed one village :P

This wasn't the final count...coz I left early by 1.00am
poor JS...way past his bedtime :P

and no pics of the guests....for privacy purpose
all didn't wanna be featured here -_-"
coz we have distinguished lawyers, top notch bankers, traders, movers and shakers of their own industry, celebrity photographer and errrrrrr a very round and full Monkey :D

my last shot before I tipsily walked out, bid farewell to the house and left
it was our last visit and partay at J&J's coz they sold the house
I m definitely gonna miss all the pool partay, makan and minum like there's no tmrw, hanging out and chilling here.

so my last shot of our Bottega Veneta having their own lil partay
Monkey's one is the Campana bag in the latest Krim color :)))

Thank you M People
till the next partay to do a House Warming for J&J
:))))))
enjoy your vacation wherever u are heading to, be safe and travel well
Eat and drink well too.....hehehehehehe *hic*

Read about our last partay *here*

JS's Bday Pressie :))))

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Light Calf tote
yep for him to carry his camera around 
-_-

this colour is also nice - Sapphire
but after testing him a few times before making purchases
well I have my way to get his preference and decision

and so this was his color of choice
:))))))))
now he's gonna be busy like me.....
waxing leather goods every weekend, talking to them, sniffing them with TLC


anyway if you are a proud owner of any Bottega Veneta, u can send in your bags to their boutique for cleaning and waxing
it's a complimentary service that they provide
:)))))))))

Bottega Veneta got downgraded

To all BV owners........don't worry this isn't a downgrade announcement
it was just something hilarious that came up yesterday

Over at the dining table....the topic transcended from wines, to traveling to all things yummy and good in life until we reached my favourite topic...
BAGSSssssss

Alcoholic Anonymous was so infatuated by this brand that he can't remember wat was its name
how could u not remember something that u like???

Alcoholic Anonymous: "U know....wat u call that....SATAY....yes the SATAY bag!!!"
All of us in unison: "SATAY bag??? wat is tat????"

30 seconds later, thanks to our high intelligence
we found out he meant "Ketupat"
the weaving of the bag is similar to this packed rice in woven palm leaves......

T_T
and Alcoholic Anonymous received a long LONG long lecture from all of us
oh my beloved Bottega Veneta....u are still THE BAG in my eyes
I look forward to your new colors..... :))))))))))))

My turn.....

tee hee hee it is now my turn to open all my pressies
I mean my purchases :P
opening bags purchase is a RITUAL for Ms. Monkey


whenever u r in Paris, Rue Cambon lot number 31 is a MUST VISIT
coz that's the only Chanel store where u get a white paperbag instead of the BLACK
and it was the apartment of Madam Coco Chanel
what a legendary address :)))))))))

the white Camellia flower - Mdm Coco Chanel's favourite flower
which inspired her hence it was used in most of her designs

told ya opening every purchase is a ritual
by this time, JS kinda got used to my weird habits :P kekekekeke

 more Camellia flowers~~~~~~

the famous interlocking C's
bearing the initial of Coco Chanel

I lurve this color
It's black indoor and is actually blue under sunlight!!!!

with 3 gigantic compartments for all my gadgets
and stuffs a lady could carry these days

since I lurve it so much like a possessed woman at the Chanel boutique,
JS decided to buy it for Monkey
hehhehehehehehe

next is a small purchase
which was not a necessity but bcoz it came available in all the XMAS colors
and it was darn cheap!!!!!

this was a pressie for my dearie iPhone 4s which we got in London
merry christmas iphone!!!!
hmmmm I dun have a name for the phone yet

Yves Saint Laurent
another legendary name in Paris

the small Chyc shoulder bag adapted from the classic one
I've been eyeing this baby a few years ago until they designed a smaller petite version

yea small bag for a petite frame like me :D

I wanted RED but it is only available in this yummy green color for the Cruise collection

Monkey: "Do u have it in RED? Rouge??? u know it's for xmas"

S.A.: "I ohn-lee harf dis color Madamoiselle. ONLY ONE piece.....One boutique one piece!!! only one."

guess that was the magic word..

but I really do lurve this color more and more!!!!

then sensing my needs, the clever S.A. added

"U like RED? I harf some-ting red, jessst ah-rrived today, also only ONE PIECE!!!"

gawd how many bags that u got in single piece???

-_-"

Oh My Gawd!!!!!
they now have smaller Chyc Cabas
the standard size is just too big for me but this version is absolutely .......*speechless*


I just went aaahhhh.....ohhhhh....over it....
:)))))))))))))))))
then JS said he'll get the red one while I buy the green one


JS: "how come the green one so small and still same price as the red one?"
Monkey: "Good things come in small packages u know" *smirks*

my favourite color :)))))))))
when the Cruise collection hit the stores
I went around asking for specific bags and specific colors
coz not all boutiques carry ALL the sizes of bags


"I want it in SHOCK color not Orchid not Amethyst" *it's the name of the bag color*
S.A.: "Wow.... do u work in Bottega?"
"errr no...I just lurve the brand....hehehehehe."

that was Week 1
the following weeks, both of us had to suppressed the urge to shop
coz there ain't any room to store em
*books, kitchen stuffs, peripherals, gadgets, collectibles, food, decorative items, limited edition items, wines....*
looks like we have to leave some stuffs behind huh?


and I haven't even go to factory outlets yet *scheduled next week*
think have to cancel this plan
-_-
