Chinese New Year 2015


SOOOOOO happy to be back in Malaysia for CNY!!!

We used to stay in a kampong but due to some reasons we had to shift to a terrace... I remember the days when we used to run around the backyard and play with the plants and chicks HAHAHAHA sigh those were the days man.

But I am still really glad to be here! The alleys around the houses still provide some nice backdrop to take our OOTDs hahaha. Like honestly speaking, I prefer celebrating CNY in malaysia... we do all the house visitings, eat all sorts of food and play around with babies and toddlers.

For my family, we don't really celebrate CNY in singapore (all we did was to have a simple reunion dinner at my uncle's house where I don't even talk to my older cousins) and that's all.

Luckily for my mom's side, all of the relatives are from Malaysia and thus it's always great to see them all together!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my youngest aunt!

Don't wanna go back to Singapore *sigh*

GRUB Café


So roughly about a month back my friend and I decided to head on to GRUB Cafe for dinner and catch up with each other.
Located across the bridge of Bishan Park, GRUB is quite accessible; it's like a small glasshouse seated beside a pond.
You can choose to seat indoors and enjoy the air-conditioner, or outdoors if you want to enjoy the serenity of Bishan park.
However, due to the presence or the pond and some plantation, there were some insects flying around occasionally...and that night there was this huge bee flying around (we sat indoors) which freaked everybody out. So for a moment there was this mini kallang wave in the cafe HAHAHAHA


Honestly speaking I would have preferred their brunch menu however they do not offer all-day brunch hence I had to settle for this Lime-Mayo Chicken Burger which tasted not bad.
The way that they served the food on the wooden block was quite interesting but I thought it wasn't user friendly for a clumsy person like me HAHA
Like I thought I needed some borders at the side to prevent my chicken from flying out (I can't chop meat well).
Just in case you're wondering why will the chicken fly off, it's because I personally think that the burger was too big to be consumed in bites so I separated it (this is how I eat my McDonald's breakfast set also), so yeah.


The pork burger that my friend ordered.

iFly Sentosa


I was so thankful for being able to join my wonderful neighbours at Sentosa for a blast of my mundane life!
It was my first time "skydiving" in Sentosa and I swear it was really fun and thrilling!
Once you bend forward with your arms crossed, the strong gust of air underneath will immediately blow you up into the air and if you could manage your body well enough, you can even fly up to a maximum of five storeys high!
Luckily we went for the first slot in the morning at 11am because there were alot of tourists after that ._.
If you're bored of exciting things to do in this small island, head towards Sentosa for a once in a lifetime experience!

The Garden Cafe Recipe


Every year I will be back in Malaysia to my mother's hometown for Christmas without fail.
However, this time was a little bit special because we didn't spend our christmas having BBQ but instead, we headed off to this cafe located at Paloh, Johor, about half an hour's ride away from our place.


Located among a residential area, The Garden Cafe Recipe immediately stands out due to it's unique structure.
It is designed in a European style to provide the ambience of having an afternoon tea somewhere in the olden days of Europe.


Their menu is slightly different from our local cafes.
In Singapore, one would expect a brunch menu with ham or poached eggs, but due to the different culture in Malaysia, they serve pastas and noodles instead.
So, we tried on the Smoked Salmon Pasta and the Spaghetti.


Here's a short video:

It was indeed a unique experience to have spent Christmas in a cafe!
