50th Anniversary

3 weekends ago, we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of a sporty collection
the Admiral's Cup is 50 years old!!!!!

O_O
60 exclusive clienteles were invited for this celebration

our very sweet and dearie Baby Wei greeted guests at the main entrance
with a double wham on this 50 years old traditional malay gong
made from fine calf leather

the event was held at Malay Fine Dining Restaurant - Ibunda
it's housed in a colonial style bungalow built in the 1940s
Ibunda turned this quaint lil bungalow into a traditional malay home

I just lurve the table setting :)))))))))
simple and chic

guests were treated to a 6 course dinner
fusion of contemporary and traditional malay fine cuisine
how's that?

Conversation with Mr. Know-it-all.....

Topic: Timepieces factories in Switzerland

"All the factories are tiny and u won't believe the size......just like a bungalow or shoplot or a house!!!"
JS: "they dun need such a big space...after all watches are small and hand assembled. Plus movements are not manufactured by them."

"BUT NOT FOR ROLEX WOR!!!! the factory is REALLY BIG."
JS: "like HOW BIG??? o_O"

"like any factory in Msia....with that chimneys emitting smoke outta it!!! that spells BIG right??"
JS: --__-- "that smoke came outta their canteen or kitchen lar....they dunnit to eat meh?"

"oh yea......."

Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5165 A

the much sought after Aquanaut
a sport dress watch from Patek Philippe
apart fr my another favourite - Nautilus

when I first saw it in Baselworld 2007 Switzerland,
sitting in its cube, starring back at me.
I drooled till Ms. Whitherspoon dragged me off.

*Monkey screamed*
Ms. Whitherspoon: "Stop window-shopping-ing. We got work to do."
and during Baselworld 2008,
I saw it again....starring back at me...
this time it's bigger and better!!!!

and so 2 weeks ago, I was hunting for a timepiece...
so.................hehehehehehehehe
and Monkey took JS for an innocent shopping trip last Friday.
*very innocent indeed*
:D
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He likes it.
I lagi like.

Patek 324 S C self winding movement.

:))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Ealier:
T: "Sorry we just sold our one and only piece 2 days ago."
*monkey sulked and went to the other boutique*

L: "I can't markdown for you coz we are supposed to sell it at a premium. I have a few bidders for this watch now u know????"
*grrrrrrrrr -_- @#*%&)$*&%*$@)%@*)$. Dun be so LCLY can or not???*

then one a beautiful lucky afternoon,
B: "U are very lucky Cherry coz I have been hiding it inside the safe."
"He he he, yes coz the watch is waiting for me to buy it."
with its signature Calatrava cross on the buckle

Actually this is a men's watch,
but I can't stand the ladies version,
coz it's too small -_-
and it's a quartz watch -_- x 2
Never in my life I would ever buy a quartz watch again.

heeeeeeeeeeeee
Merry christmas to myself first...

I shall re-wrap it and put it under the christmas tree come 25th Dec.
