How is everybody in blogsphere?
I feel really pumped right now!! Definitely had too much chocolates. On Monday, I decided to make rhumballs for my family. It made out of crushed cookies, thick chocolate milk, a few spoons of rhum basically just mixed together in a bowl, made into a tiny ball,  covered it with chocolate ceres meises, let it cold for an hour or two on the fridge, and voila! A yummy-chocolate-overloaded snacks. I ate 3 already today and it's only 8 o'clock. You can see how it looks on my tweet right here.

Wore this vintage on vintage on my last day in Singapore. I really like taking so much pictures in 4 straight days and I can go being a lazy-bum for the next two week without concerning about taking outfit pictures for my blog. Strange enough, I do miss being self-absorbed and the sound of clicking from my camera's timer. It's like the sound of chirping birds for me. Very soothing and just something you're so familiar of. I know, I'm weird.

I'm excited to go out and meet my friends this weekend. It has been quite some time (a little over a month!) since we had girls night out. And I have tons of packages that are on their way to my thrilled excited self. Hope I can speed up time and just skipped the rest of the weekdays and go straight to weekend. Well, a girl can dream, right?

Some of you probably heard about the rumor on how google is going to cancel the GoogleFriendConnect app. Therefore, to stay connected, I encouraged you guys to follow me on below links.

I've heard it said
That people came into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
to those who help us grow most
if we let them
and we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today because I knew you

So much of me 
Is made from what I learned from you
You'll be with me
like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend

Lyric from For Good - Wicked The Broadway Musical

Wicked was stupendous! 
This particular song is just the sweetest. I guess everyone can relate with this song. I truly believe that nothing in this life is a coincidence. I know that each person we encounter in our daily life comes with a particular reason. In such a peculiar way we couldn't understand now, that one person that you simply sat next to in a bus could be the person who changed your life. 

But for now, in ways that I do understand, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my dearest darlingest father and mother, my sisters, my friends, my reader-friends, my exes (not as much as you think!), and basically everyone I know (and remember, I'm terrible at memorizing person whom I only met once). It has been an honored to get to know all of you. You have made my life full of little wonders. I couldn't care less if they were tears or laughs or simply jokes we shared, I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't meet you <3

On another topic, this GFC rumor is, honestly, worries me a little bit.
Therefore, I encouraged everyone to follow me on these below links so we can stay connected!

Missed the last train home
Birds pass by to tell me that I'm not alone
Over pushing myself, to finish this part
Handle a lot, one thing I miss
It's in your eyes

In your eyes.

Have you seen this film?
It reminds me of walking through the avenues
Washing my hands, attachment scared
Land on the ground, one thing I miss
It's in your eyes

In your eyes

Lyrics from the song Eyes by Rogue Waves.

It has been a slow Sunday and I always feel just a tad bit sad and overall, melancholy on Sunday cause I have Monday to face. And honestly, I don't want to. It will be another week of rushing getting up in the morning, rushed meals, and rushed feelings. Like you don't exactly know how you feel about something but you just have to respond to it already. Do you ever feel like that? You are in a situation. Madly crazy. Madly annoyed. Madly busy. Or simply madly in love. But you just don't have enough time to soak it all in and just left feeling drained. Without ever exactly know how you felt in the first place. 

Anyway, the song reminds me to appreciate each single second before knowing your particular someone, when you look into their eyes, you just couldn't found that love anymore. You missed all that love because you are too busy. Workaholic. Or as for me, blogaholic? You keep telling her/him : later; just after I finished this; in a second; that of course, turned out to be never. And that person just suffocating.. It's suffocating to always waiting. It's exhausting feeling not wanted. Hence, take time today, to gather with the one you care most, and just enjoy each other company.

<3
Happy Sunday, you lovely creatures.

P.S. How do you feel about a new section with.. Sunday Music??? As that the only day I ACTUALLY listen to the lyric of my recent songs obsession :)

Pictures are taken at Singapore Botanic Gardens.
Just some pictures from my latest trip to Singapore. My sister and I decided to indulge ourselves. Good food. Great shopping. Lots of walking. Lots of pictures. And of course, lots of laugh <3
Hope you enjoy these silly and mouth-watering pictures me and my sister took, since we are, silly always-hungry sisters!


The food court was really shady and Ashtons was the only one that looks.. convincing. LOL. We made the right decision!




I had a Midsummer Night Tea. It was.. Something else. I did drank all of it tho!

This lasagna has some tea infused in it. It wasn't bad. And I actually ended up really liking it.. I guess it took time for me to get used to the tea. It was just really really strong! Like a burst of spices and aromas within every bite.

This one wasn't disappointing at all. SO GOOD!


Stayed at Concorde Hotel at Orchard Road.

Went to watch Wicked at Marina Bay Sands Theater. My favorite line is from Galinda "It's good to see me again, isn't it?" LOL. She is just the funniest ever.

Had a sudden crave of sweets before lunch time so we went to High Society at Marina Bay Sands and ate chocolate cupcake and strawberry shortcake for me. Nom nom nom...

Pepper Lunch lunch! 

For a five dollar, it was totally worth it. I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning and touch everything although there are "don't touch" signs everywhere. As I said, a kid!

Strolled around ClarkeQuay area in the afternoon...



Had a Korean dinner at Seoul Yummy. It wasn't THAT yummy tho..

Ended up at Bakerzin to taste their most-famous-of macaroons! Theirs are one of the top 3 I tasted so far *happyface*


USS! For the young-at-hearts only.

For the strangest reason I thought Donkey Live was we were going to saw a real donkey with Donkey's voice as sub. And I was really excited about that. I know.. Too much of a kid for my age!

Went to Charlie Brown cafe at Sommerset 313 after dinner at Botak John's (at Youth Park) to meet up with a friend. And no, there's nothing wrong with fringe at all. *denial*



For the last day, my sister and I decided to take pictures at Istana Park. Located just behind of our hotel. The park is beautiful, serene, and clean and you can see it's so taken care of! I couldn't help but sighing.. Wishing there's just ONE place like this in Bandung..


Had a Victorian lunch at Antoinette at Mandarin Gallery. The place is so darling. A must visit, I must say.


Yes it's quite good but I must say, with the price, it could've taste richer a little bit.. The portion is big! Even my sister and I couldn't finished it.

The ice cream was mango flavored. And I just.. Don't get it. I guess it's too "royal" for us.

Banana Buz is the bezt!

So that's all from me. It's almost midnight here and I promised myself I'll be in bed by midnight every night. 
I guess, it's a good night! And sweet dream for everyone.
