We are each on our own journey

“We are each on our own journey, each of us are on our very own adventure; encountering all kinds of challenges, and the choices we make on that adventure will shape us as we go; these choices will stretch us, test us and push us to our limit; and our adventure will make us stronger then we ever know we could be.”

Busy revising for exam but I don't really have a good feeling about it. I guess I'm just not cut for things like that. Just like I don't like being trapped in an enclose area, doing the same thing over and over again everyday. It's too boring for me. Sometimes I just hope that I can do whatever that I'm interested in but I know my parents won't support me in that. They feel that it's not realistic enough and I should do something that is more stable for my future. Using my time now to think through thoroughly what I really want in my life. I'm not too old neither too young & I should stop wasting time. *Dilemma* 

Met up with Wx for a short catch up and went to Poulet @ Bugis+ for dinner.

16 November - It's Saturday again! Went for dental appointment which was arranged at 930am in the morning. It's damn early but fortunately I was able to pull myself off the bed. Brunch time after Dental at PS Cafe and movie at night - "Captain Philips".



Blueberry pancakes


Was quite shocked when I see the plate on my table because I didn't expect it to be such a big portion. Didn't want to order Eggs benedict again since I'm always having it for brunch & I wanted to try something new. The pancakes was not bad, they had a little blueberry filling in the pancakes itself but it was a little too starchy.


Eggs Benedict - Didn't try it but tried the hollandaise sauce and it was good. Better that the one I had at Graze the week before.

20 Nov - Wednesday :: Met up with Pf and Jojo for Japanese Buffet at Irodori @ Riverview Hotel. Finally we get to meet up ever since we returned from our hong kong trip. Dinner was great with great company.


outfit :: top - Lovebonito , Shorts - Runway bandits


A little selfie before I head out



Favourite Sashimi :: we ordered two plates of these


Special Order :: Ebi with Mentai


Ebi Tempura 


Green Tea Rice :: Literally Rice then Green tea poured in


Beef fries with Onion

Ordered more at the back but not worth the photos 'cause it's like a single piece or two pieces as we all have limited spaces in our tummy and can't really squeeze in more. Sometimes I feel that it's not very worth it for me to go for buffet 'cause I have very small appetite. Small meals but many meals for me.

After dinner we went to Garden By the Bay for a walk and short chit chat session. Always enjoy myself with their company. It doesn't matter how many times we meet a month but how we just know each other lives so well even if we don't meet and only have short catching up sessions.


Had a pleasant surprise on Friday. Time is not ripe now to talk about it. Will talk more about it when everything is confirmed (:

Shot a few selfie before leaving house.

After I'm done with my stuff, went of lunch and a little coffee at Antoinette to end the day



Nougatine :: Parline Ice cream w Hazelnut Nougatine, Salty Caramel and caramelize filo pantry


And my usual coffee :: Cafe Latte

And on Saturday it was Brunch Time again. Am always looking forward for Saturday because it's the only time I get to have brunch with my favorite person, my mysterious guy (: 


This week we choose Skyve Elementary Bistro & Bar after I read quite a few good reviews about it. Chose the outdoor seat as indoor was a little too cold for me.



Mushroom soup :: I think it was a little too salty, not really "wow" over it.


Ordered Truffle Scramble Eggs for a change from my usual Egg Benedicts.


He still stick to his usual Egg Benedict



Fulfilling lunch then back to bury myself in my notes. Exams are a week away ):
Night falls , dinner and hunger game !

 Snap this before heading out 


Brought Dad & mum & grandma out for Dim Sum Brunch on Sunday at Royal China. Last year we tried Yan Ting and it was really good. & after we tried Royal China, Mum & I agree together that Yan Ting is still the best. Shall go back there again soon.



Usual Har Kau & Siew Mai



Salted Egg & Mango Bun 







My all time favorite dessert :: Mango pomelo with Sago




Ending the post with my last outfit for the week :: Full deck in LoveBonito

Till the next time xoxo

I'm Feeling 22 ♥

It's April & I always love april 'cause it's my birthday month!!!

I was 21 last year & I celebrated it small in HK with Pris & Anna. So this year I decided since I got the GCC member & special price to hotels why not just throw a birthday party.

After much considerations of the different hotels, I decided on Capella , one bedroom villa which has a small private pool. & the theme is Seven Dwarfs. Yes I know, so kiddy but whatever, it's my birthday I can do what I want.

So. My day started with me printing some of the stuff needed for my birthday then off to aunt's house to pass her the Capella paper & waited for Peifa to come over. He was really nice, waited together for Rox then helped to carry the stuff down & guided me to vivo then I'm off to Sentosa with Rox. I can drive but I'm like a direction idiot. >.<

Checked in and get everything to the Villa &  started to decorate. Love these seven dwarfs that I did on illustrator and cut it out one by one. They are so cute!

No one was here yet so we decided to go have a dip at the pool but sadly it started to drizzle so we came back up to shower & get our makeup done

Alright I don't really celebrate my birthday with a big bunch of people so when everyone start singing the birthday song I got nervous and shy so I wouldn't let Pris go.IMG_2370 IMG_2378 IMG_2382 IMG_2383 IMG_2384 IMG_2397

Finishing all the bottles that we brought over

& I got thrown into the pool, so one by one, all down in the middle of the night which I don't really know what time it wasIMG_2410 IMG_2418 IMG_2432

All these sum up my 22nd birthday party. It was a great one with my family & friends. The last time I had my birthday party I think was like when I was in kindergarden where dad surprised me at school with cakes & everyone singing birthday song for me. That was the last & ever since I only celebrated with my parents. & then with boyf & now after so long a party with all the people that are close to me.

Thanks for making it a great party & taking up your time to come over & make things happen. I love all of you so much & it's the best birthday ever. ♥
