Mooncake

Top and bag from TheBlogShop



This is a super belated entry! This happened before Mid-autumn festival. Trying to clear all my backlogs this few days!

Was craving for the yummy western food near bf's house so we went over there for dinner after picking up the mooncakes we ordered :)


After the dinner we went to buy pomelos and after visiting his parents, he came over to my place to pass my family our mooncakes :)

Double yolk white lotus. Usually mooncakes are round and comes with square box. Paradise Inn did the opposite by making square mooncakes and packed them into round boxes. Haha. Love the packaging though! Mid-autumn festival is all about prettily packaged mooncakes isn't it? Lol.

Catch you all again when I'm back! :)

Golden Mile

Had Thai food at Golden Mile quite awhile back. Why Thai tea always taste abit off de ar? Not like our usual tea at all. Are the tea leaves of a different species?



I love pandan chicken! But these are really expensive. $10 for 4 pieces!


Love this chicken dish! It was crispy and yummy, though the meat is really little.


Veggies~ This was the only non-spicy dish we had!


This fish!!!!!! Till today I am unable to forget the superb taste. It's lemon chilli fish I think. The fire below kept the fish warm and the gravy was heavenly. Really wanna go back and eat it again!


Super spicy tom yam soup.


With my sis while my parents were booking coach tickets for Genting. Yes! We are going there again! I bought a $2 per room deal online so we decided to go. In fact, I'm leaving on Monday! But not to worry, I have scheduled regular posts for the entire time I am away! When I'm back, it'll be my birthday party already. Those of you who were invited, remember to come :) Was so excited for this week for a long time, finally it's time!!!!!


One bad thing about making my pictures so big on my blog is that I have to airbrush my complexion in closeup pictures like the above! I'm obviously not good at it, that's why you all have not seen my self-camwhore pics for a long time! Just too lazy! Take far far pics better, like the one below! Haha.



We went Ikea to walk walk after booking our trip.

Chick Lit



I usually read Chick-lit. If you are like me and would like some recommendations, do read my list. I've read so many similar stories and sometimes I mix them up so this list is gonna take some time to write.


The Devil Wears Prada
Last Night at Chateau Marmont
Everyone Worth Knowing
This 3 books are by Lauren Weisberger. The Devil Wears Prada was good. The other two are not so.


Dear John
The Notebook
The Wedding
3 books by Nicholas Sparks. Stopped reading after the 3rd one cos I didn't find the other titles interesting. Any to recommend? I don't want too cliche stories. I want one with a twist.

Of this 3, I liked "Dear John" the best. It is one of my favourite books. It's just so realistic and very very saddening. It makes my heart break thinking about John and his wasted years :(

The Wedding is actually a continuation of The Notebook, except that Noah is old-age already and the story is focused on his daughter and her husband.


Diary of a Married Call Girl
Diary of a Jetsetting Call Girl
Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl
This 3 books are by Tracy Quan. I liked the way the stories are written and the story is quite unique. I bought Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl first, as that is the first book in the series and bought the other other 2 after reading it because I loved it. It was kinda embarrassing to read it in the MRT though, because of the revealing picture on the front cover. From what I know, there are only 3 books for this series. Hope Tracy releases the 4th one soon :)


Wedding Babylon - Confessions of a wedding planner
The book was interesting, however without a solid storyline. It describes a period of time of a wedding planner's life and it was engaging. However, nothing really happened from the start to the end of the book. But still, it's a good read.


A cup of comfort for Couples
Boring. I read halfway and decided not to continue anymore. Consist of many short stories, but most of the stories had no point it it. Just old couples relating their memories which isn't especially romantic nor story-worthy.


The Accidental Proposal
This book started out very unengaging but towards the middle it keeps you hooked because you so want to know what is actually happening. Not bad.


Kate's Wedding
I love this book about 2 different girls with happenings that lead up to their wedding day. It was eventful and a good easy read. I also liked the little story sectioned inside about the wedding gown shop owner and her little love story. I felt that the story is realistic and lets you in to the thoughts of different people.

Love is on the air
The female lead has been with her boyfriend for 6 years already but is not truly happy. The relationship seems to be in a rut. Nothing's going wrong but everything seems to be too comfortable and passionless. She meets a man that is supposingly "the-one" on a holiday and wonders if it's true love or just a wrong feel. Interesting.

Men I've loved before
Havent start reading yet.

The good, the bad, and the dumped.
Love this book about a lady who was proposed by her boyfriend who is steady and everything great but wonders what life would have been like if she had stayed with any of her exes. She went to track them down via facebook but ends up risking her current fiance. I felt that it is a very unique story. Should read!

One Day
Abit too "arty-farty" for me already. Halfway through the book and nothing much has happened. Stopped reading it.

Calling Romeo
Havent started reading.

The truth about you
Havent started reading.

The Wedding Planner
Just finished reading it. Started off quite dull but soon revealed many interesting twists and I was hooked! Many plots and it was engaging right till the end :) I like this book alot!

The Bride Stripped Bare
Erm, mildly interesting, but didn't leave a strong impact on me.


Some of the stories should totally be made into movie films! I can already imagine how it would be like. Wish I had lots of money so that I can produce it!

Two types of backstabbers



Top from TheBlogShop
Pants from TheBlogShop


Just some thoughts after chatting with a friend some time back.

It's saddening how gossip works. It is one thing to be backstabbed by a hypocrite friend who act all fine and accepting with you, and then turn around and exaggerates your flaws to other people. It's another thing to have a hypocrite friend who pretends to like you, and then CONJURES stories to other people.

The former, is very common. I see lots of people like that. I won't say that I'm not a hypocrite. I do act nice around people I do not like, only to avoid unnecessary trouble. Most of the time, I guess I just keep them at arms length and still be polite as long as I'm not provoked. What's the point of creating drama when the other party has done nothing to directly hurt you right?

I'm not all angel. I do get irritated at friends and voice it out to other friends. But very seldom and it only happens when I'm triggered and angry. I do join in gossip sessions and put in a pinch of my opinions... Like any other normal person do. BUT, I only say the truth. If I strongly feel that someone is bitching untrue things about a particular person, I'd speak up for this person. But usually I only gossip with closer friends. I don't trust that other people would keep the 'discussion' in the circle. I pride myself to always keep secrets for other people. I mean, what's the point of leaking out secrets? She will eventually find out if you are the only one she spoke to, right? That being said, I seldom tell my own secrets to other people.

If you ever suspect that I backstabbed you, do confront and ask me. If I did talk bad about you, I'd say yes I did. I'd rather you clear things up with me than continue to think that I did when I actually did not.

This kind of gossip is still fine... Wait till you read the next part.

The other kind of backstabbers. The kind that spin tales out of air. Wah, this kind power. You can be super nice, sincere and flawless but this person can just anyhow create a story and spread it. Then boom, your image is down the drain - FOR NOTHING. You cannot control nor protect yourself from this kind of people and it's best for you to stay insignificant in this person's eyes. Isn't it terrifying? There are lots of people in this world that I'd rather not have been acquainted with; But how would you know until you already know the person?

Also, this is the reason why I try not to get myself influenced by gossips told to me by other people. I always think it'll be more fair if I get to know the person myself and judge base on my own experience. If you are prejudiced against someone, no matter how nice she is, you'll think negatively of her. Remember this. Be fair to everyone you meet. Start from zero and plus minus from there.

Love Vs Like

Many people think that Love is an advance level of Like.
Many guys like to tease and say that "I don't like you. I love you." like it's a good thing.

But I think that Love & Like are two very different things.

Love, is the feeling for someone, the immense care, without necessarily a reason.
Like, is being fond of a person's traits.

It is possible for a person to love someone while disliking her. For example, she might be a nasty girl but he still feels strongly about her (maybe because she is his wife or daughter) although he dislikes/disagrees with her character and not necessarily like her as a person.

It is also possible for a person to love someone while liking her. In this case, he loves her while also admiring her personality and likes her as a person. This is the perfect situation.

Always find a man who feels a strong liking for your character and not just a whirlwind-romance-fastheartbeat-exciting-love-without-any-reason because I think that love without enough substance to hold it together may fade over time. If he likes you and your qualities, the love would be stronger and less likely to vanish easily.

Just my opinion, because I've seen many men who love but resents their wife. What do you think?

Going Demure

Not something I would usually wear out.... Love the pearls on the shoulder!



Top is from MissQueenie and pants from TheBlogShop.

When I was still a young teenage girl, I see those office girls dressing up in office clothings and thought that when I grow up, I'll eventually dress that way too.

Years passed, I graduated and I have been working in offices for more than a year. Perhaps the industry I've been dabbling in always revolved around entertainment and design, so my office dresscode had never been strict. I still wear mini dresses, bright colors or slippers to work.

I don't think I can ever be comfortable in business suits, black knee-length skirts, plain black covered pumps and collared button down blouses. So boring! I don't even wear pants usually... Haha. Something is just so troublesome about wearing them (the part where you have to put in your legs further), as compared to shorts.

I wonder when I would transform into a real adult, stop wearing these sunny dresses and start wearing womanly ones.. Haha.
