CAFE HUNTING ! 

What I am about to post is long overdue.. Kinda happens like weeks ago~ But still I would love to share where I've been to and hopefully more to visit! =) 

Few weeks ago, I brought my parents to renew their passports which is at Lavender MRT station.. 

And after we were done, Dad suggested that we could take a walk near the park and at the same time collect his vehicle where he parked nearby.. 

We happened to pass by this cafe and of course my parents call it Coffee shop.. Lol~ 

We decided to have a seat and drink some coffee~ Spending time with my family are so great! =) 

Loysel's Toy!




It's more like a vintage kind of cafe..I didn't take much photos of the place because I didn't think that it would be one of the cafe hunts~ 


We ordered breakfast, though we already had our early breakfast before we headed out but I wanted to try~ 

The food wasn't amazing and seriously it was overpriced.. For this plate of breakfast cost S$15 if I remembered correctly.. 



I ordered a slice of carrot cake and to be honest, this is my first time having a carrot cake. And the cake was really good! Its really smooth and fluffy, the taste was really good.. cost S$6 I think.. 


Took a snapshot of my parents~ LOL! 

We even ordered Mocha.. I think the coffee was still okay~ The service was good! =) 

I decided to visit BooksActually near Tiong Bahru MRT station, apparently you have to walk to that place for about 15 to 20 minutes?

If you knew the area well, maybe you need only 15 minutes.. But it was my first visit, so I had a difficult time looking for it.. 

Still gotta rely on my Iphone to find the place.. ha! 



Finally I found it after 20 minutes~ This is how it looks out on the outside of the shop~ 


Tadah~ Took this photo kinda secretly when the person wasn't looking.. I was afraid that it wasn't allowed.. =X 

It was kinda stressful to walk in the bookstore and knowing that I didn't have much money to get new books.. I just picked out books randomly.. Wanted to buy but stopped the temptation of buying.. 

Some of their books were kinda overpriced.. Maybe I didn't know how much exactly cost at other book stores but it just doesn't seems like it should cost that amount of money.. (just saying) 

It was a good experience though~ Knowing that there are independent bookstores like this in Singapore.. Rather than big bookstores like Popular and Kinokuniya.. Singapore should have more bookstores like this! Makes readers happy~ Shopping for books is gonna be fun! =) 

Nearby BookActually, there are quite a few cafes and one of them was listed in a website saying that their coffee was the one of the best. 

I didn't go in to that cafe because it seemed really crowded and small inside.. Of course I can smell coffee right outside.. 

Instead I went to another cafe which is nearby as well called PoTeaTo.. 

PoTeaTo !


The interior design was rather unique and nice! 


Ordered a Tearamisu.. LOL! It was said that it was made of Earl grey tea? 

It wasn't so bad actually~ Kinda yummy and something new! =) 



Special isnt it? The interior looked so old and trying to make it classy at the same time~ 


And yes, I was enjoying the food! 


This would be the end of my cafe hunt post~ 

Hopefully I would be able to hunt more these cafes! =) 

Of course when I am back from my holiday!

 MOVING ON.... 




Hello guys! Its been a while again since I last blogged~ 

Been working as a part timer lately at a Japanese Restaurant at Liang court~ =) Work was fun~  And recently Yi Zhan has joined in as well~ 

Because he was looking for a part time job and at the same time figure out on what to do in life ( Just like me...) Since he quitted school.. 

It was fun working with them! =) It's been a long time since I had fun during work and of course hoping that the customers we served are nice folks.. Some of the customers are just plain stuck up..  Other than that I think work was great! =)


It was a very last minute decision that Yi zhan is coming with us for our upcoming trip!! YAY!! 

We used to make a promise and said that we will travel together (Only the 3 of us) one day! =D 

Now it's gonna happen!! I mean ya, my parents are there but still I am happy that we finally got to make that promise come true! Even though its like unpredictable~ 

Maybe one day we can travel together with our families (That's if I even managed to find a boyfriend) ~ 

Because I have been meeting out with him and Lynette (Yi Zhan's girlfriend) , we got along pretty well I would say~ She is such a nice girl and hopefully the both of them can be happy together for long~ =) 



Of course I have been reading other than working and spending lots of time on the internet.. Reading is a everyday to do thing in my life now~ 

I strongly recommend this book to other bookworms out there~ Its a great inspiration ! 


Caught her staring at me while I was reading~ So cute!! =D 


Emotional post from here.. 

I have thinking a lot lately and seriously.. 

Like what am I going to do in life.. Do I continue to look for a job that I have no interest in because of the income or should I just do something different in life not knowing if I would keep doing it in the future? (For the rest of life maybe) 

I have been thinking about options that I have in life... And hopefully not to go back to what I have been doing for the past 1 or 2 years, living like a living zombie.. 

Been thinking about continue to work as a part timer and go to school? (Get a diploma)

 But I seriously have NO IDEA what I should study.. Because I might NOT end up what or who I should be then it will be just a waste of time and not to mention MONEY.. 

Option 2 would be still continue my part time job and go to courses that I have interest in, like going back to study Japanese lessons (which I want to study so badly..) etc... 

I even thought about work as a part timer and save enough money to get out of here.. live at some place and find a job there.. (Stupid idea) but who knows it might work.. 

In conclusion.. I am lost.. 

People keep saying that "You should know what you want in life.. 
Nobody knows.. Only YOU know it yourself" 

I would be like.. REALLY? Because seriously.. I DON'T have a FRIGGIN IDEA ! 

I know it's not easy and maybe I should just take it slow and think carefully what I want.. But I have been doing that every single day.. I don't wanna say how sad or pathetic I am.. 

Or how I wish I can cry whenever I want and expect people to be there for me.. Because I know at the end of the day, I am living on my own.. It's my life.. Nobody is gonna be there for me as they claims to be.. 

Even if they CAN LITERALLY be there but they can't do anything.. 

I need help.. I need a sign.. That says this is what I should do! I am born to do this.. I need to know I have a purpose in life.. 

In my life I just want two things.. To have freedom and passion.. 

Freedom - Free from all burdens.. Free from all these forever going on debts, free from all the stress that came from the society.. Free from the burdens that I gave myself (Telling myself how I should have a stable and huge income to support my parents in the future.) 

Passion - The passion that I want to do (Like I was born to do this).. 

It seems easy.. because the definition of freedom and passion are different to people.. but it's so difficult from me.. And I never really think that anyone has Freedom before..  

I just hope one day I can get what I want and find what I have been looking for in life..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MUM!! =D  WITH UPDATES.. 

Yes.. This blog post is SOOO LATE!!  =X 
Mum's birthday was on 5 August but I only managed to blog now because I have free time ~ 

We managed to celebrate for her and ate out at Kian Seng Seafood Restaurant.

Not really a restaurant but they called it one.. oh well.. The food at Kian Seng was not bad I would say.. 

It was really good and not expensive too~ =) 



Coffee Cake! =) 




Sang Birthday song ~ 



My dad kinda forced himself to smile at the camera..
The truth was he was really sleepy.. So he kinda entertain a lil.. 


Me and my mum~ 

Sis didn't manage to join us because she was working~ But she managed to get birthday present for her.. 

Mum and her friends.. =) 



I think my dad felt irritated.. LOL! He wasn't in the mood.. Too sleepy after dinner I guess~ 



The picture looks kinda blur but this was the best I got so far~ 
Ever since I got to use sis' camera (DSLR) , I kinda neglect my Digital camera.. =X 


Of course Mum and her beloved Cherie~ 

Wishing mum a Happy Birthday and stay healthy always! =) 

I managed to get a part time job recommended by Sweetie Sherline~ Thanks to her I am gonna have some income to pay off my debts and save up for the family trip~ 

Hopefully that everything goes well and work happily with the people there~ =) 

Alright~ That's about all now~ Gotta head out for my work now~

UPDATES...

Hey people! How are ya guys doing~ Its been a while ya~~ haha! 



I think I have been doing okay.. 

Been looking out for jobs and yes, its been two months since I am out of jobs.. But hey I ain't slacking either.. 

Have been going for interviews here and there but sadly there isn't any good news for me just yet, so I guess I am going to look for part time job for the time being..


Because my family decided to go on a family trip in October.. Well, Scoot was having a great offer so we just decided to go on a family trip at the very last minute..


At first I was REALLY looking forward to it.. But then again, I am the one who is going to arrange all the schedules so I was kinda worried that my parents might not like them.. I did ask for their opinions and all that but they didn't have any idea of what to do and such.. So I had to do this all alone..


Hopefully it will turn out all good..


Being jobless means no income.. No income means BOREDOM !! =.= Because I can't hang out with friends (well, they are all busy working as well) Sister was busy with her own life too so we didn't hang out at all.. 

And also no income means I can't pay my debts (include the customers refund) , So I was kinda panic.. But I didn't really show it out because seriously I can't do anything if I worry all day long right? 


So all I could do was to do the house works, surfing the net and of course READ! 



Yes.. I have been reading A LOT! 

I managed to read a book that I bought like MONTHS ago..due to my busy work life (and laziness was kinda part of it) so I just left the book there and rot.. =X 

But I finished reading after 3 days! I literally held on to that book for HOURS! Maximum 8 to 10 hours! Yes.. It was rather a thick book BUT VERY interesting! If you wonder what book is that, its "Leaving the World" by Douglas Kennedy.. He is in my favorite author list now~ 

So after reading his book.. I got so into reading once again (Like I used to) , I just bought BOOKS again~ I bought like 6 in total.. Now I left 5 of em~ 

Reading is kinda like my only entertainment now IF I didn't go out.. 

As you can see.. I bought the whole series of Twilight recently.. Currently reading the first one~ 

Some pictures of my cuties~ 


Cookie LOVES sneaking up to me while I was reading.. Getting my attention and all~  


Cherie just laze around.. Sometimes just barks for me to feed her or clear her shit.. Seriously Clever dog I must say.. 


Coco LOVES attention.. she just wants all the love and hugs from you.. but sometimes she is really sly..Like she knew it was wrong to shit and pee around but she still does it and wait for you to find out.. And when u find out, she will hide one corner to peek at you to see if you go crazy and yell.. oh well.. Clever dog but not in a good way.. =/ 


Nothing much to blog I guess.. Because my life basically is just boring.. No one to hang out with.. No one to talk to.. Just me, the dogs, the internet and my books.. 


I wanted to blog most of the times.. To just vent out all my frustrations, sadness, loneliness..(nothing about happiness really) 

But then again, its too long to even start with, or rather I have no idea how to start.. 


Maybe Twitter is my best way of venting out (not facebook anymore) ..


Anyways, gonna end my post now.. Hopefully I can find a job soon (Part time job maybe?) That's all now~ Bye!

UPDATES!


Hey people! It's been a while now since I have updated my blog.. Because there wasn't any interesting things happening around me.

Just lazing around at home and been to a few interviews.. 


Anyways, two weeks ago, mum and her friends decided to go Todai International Buffet for dinner and she brought me along~

Yay! =) It's my first time there so I was pretty excited because they kept telling me how good the food is bla bla bla.. 



My outfit of the day! Pink Maxi Dress with Black Cardigan~ Bought the dress from Taiwan, and people had been commenting that I have become fatter.. =.=


I gotta say this dress makes me look REALLY FAT! But then again, I really like the dress! =X 


Mum & I ! =) On our way for Dinner! 


By the way, Todai is located at Marina Bay Sands~ It's my second time there and yet again, didn't have the time to look around.. So I still will get lost.. 


Went in to the restaurant because we made reservation~ 



The place that we got was kinda space constrain.. So it was kinda troublesome.. 


Sorry I didn't take many pictures of the food and so on.. (Mainly because I was too hungry) and because it was sooooo crowded on that night (Thursday night) , so I didn't bother to go around and taking pictures.. =/


But you can always go their website and check it out~ =) 



Their seafood was my favorite~ Its simply VERY FRESH!! =D 


They keep telling me to get the chili crabs because they only gave you like 2 at one time.. Unless its not crowded then you can get how many pieces you want~ 

But then again, their crabs wasn't that impressive.. Like seriously, nothing special! I have no idea why is it so over-rated.. 




So cute right?! Macarons on a Pyramid! =) 


One of my favorites as well!! Pan pizza!! Esp the Banana with Cheese! SO GOOD! Esp when its FRESH from the oven! =)

Yums! Their Spaghetti was really good as well but not the cream sauce one.. 



They have wide range of desserts which I think is quite good~ I didn't get to try ALL their desserts because I was soooo bloated.. =X 


It wasn't that bad at all~ I mean Todai really do offer lots of Varieties of food, like Korean, Japanese, Chinese..etc etc.. Their Sushi was really good as well~ =) 

Its worth that money IF YOU CAN REALLY EAT! 



The night view is so beautiful~ 

Was out with mum a few days ago..Just wanna hang out with her and meeting sis after her work and we planned to head down to Marina Bay Sands and do some shopping..

So I met up with mum first, we just walked around shopping malls and waited for sis to knock off~ 


My mum looked so young! I am not praising her just because she is my mother, but look at her! Does she even look like she is freaking 48?! She always dress so young going around "Deceiving" people that she is my elder sister.. =X 

Seriously, everywhere we go (esp only me and my mum) people will tend to misunderstand that we are SISTERS, if I go out without makeup, I guess I look like her friend.. T.T 

Well, I am kinda used to it.. envy much ! I wish I look that young when I become 48.. =X 


Look of the day! 


Dessert~~ Yummy! But this bowl cost 7 bucks! I didn't look at the price while ordering, I thought it was about the same price, but when the receipt came I was SHOCKED!! 

So met up with sis and we headed to Marina Bay Sands for dinner~ =) 

I have been to two interviews this week..

After interview on Tuesday, I met up with Teck Seng and Wan Chin for Kbox! =D It was a very last minute decision and my interview took like 1 hour plus to finish! =.= 

I didn't even have my dinner.. So I bought some snacks ~ Had a great time with them! Thanks for meeting me up! =) It really means a lot to me! 

During Wednesday, I went to the doctor that mum's friend recommended.. Mum decided to take me to see this doctor for weight loss purposes.. I was like, okay... It's bout time to lose weight already.. I am sick and tired to be this fat.

I mean it's not that I don't love myself for being fat.. But seriously, it's good to be skinny and also healthy.. 

I have some knees problem already so I can't afford to go any fatter.. I HAVE to lose weight.. It's always the determination that beats me. Well, with those medicines that the doctor gave, I can work hard and not give up! 

Shopped around with mum at Junction 8 ~ Even bought some amazing makeup products which I loved~! =D 
We even watched Spiderman together~ =) 

Yesterday, I went for another interview @ Raffles place ~ 


Look of the day~ (Without my lipstick) With the new eyeliner that I bought, its so much easier to apply! Will share on my another blog~ Remember to check it out! =) 


My medicine before having my lunch.. 


I was STARVING!! I only get to eat my first meal at 4pm! =.= 


I was REALLY HUNGRY!! So I had my meal at Sakae Sushi~ I didn't want to eat the sushi buffet at first but because it was cheap and worth the money, so I just go ahead with the buffet..


Surprisingly, the doctor said that I can eat fried food (Not so much) , the only things that I have to cut down is SWEET STUFF (anything with sugar! even 3 in1 coffee is a no no) and staple food like bread, rice etc.. 


Cutting down sweet stuff like COKE is already a big challenge for me, imagine that I have to cut down rice.. worse.. 


I had like 3 to 4 plates of sushis only, if you have to put them altogether in a bowl, its just bout half the bowl.. 


Heeding the advice, I didn't eat much rice, just some beans, chawanmushi, udon ( didnt finish it) etc~ 


The result of me being TOO HUNGRY! 

Seriously people, I haven't been feeling hungry since my meal yesterday and yes its 8 am in the morning right now.. 

I am still not feeling hungry ( maybe a lil ) but its already soo amazing that I don't feel hungry in the middle of the night!!! Wow! 

The side effects of the medicine would be, made me really sleepy and drowsy, helps to detox.. (Been bombing the toilet bowl) and of course thirsty. I have to keep drinking water..

Hope its all gonna turn out good, be it my hunting of job or my diet.. Hopefully its gonna be a good start~ =) 

That's all for now!! Take care!!
