坚持

如果，是你，你会有这种坚持的勇气吗？如果那个人是你最想要的，你会坚持到底吗？
也许很多人都不能吧。

但这位女生做到了。她是其中之一的一位吧。

这位女生，她很喜欢一个男生，于是鼓起勇气向男生告白。但是男生却因为害怕所以拒绝了女生。因为害怕失去她这个好朋友。女生很伤心，有一段时间就很抗拒看到和听到关于男生的事情，害怕看到他和别的女生在一起。但是，这位女生的妈妈告诉她，如果喜欢，那么她还在等什么。所以，女生决定再次向男生表白，宁愿被男生拒绝，然后很伤心，也不要他被别的女生带走。。。

她说，”她不知道会这么的喜欢那个男生多久，也许可以一辈子喜欢下去，也许五或十年后她就不喜欢他了，但她不想放弃因为她知道她现在是真的真的很喜欢他"。

所以，如果有些事情是你想要的，不要放弃，继续坚持。会有好的结果的。:)

No matter what

Many a times you just want to get away

To catch a breather

To get to a place

Where everything will be alright

No matter what you do

Nothing's gonna change isn't it

No matter what you do

Things will still be the same isn't it

Many a times it just won't back off

Just won't let you go

Just staying persistent 

And watch you suffocate

What can you do

To get out from this

To get to some nicer place 

Away from this tangling web

Unknown

I'm not sure if I am thinking too much? Things have not been going on smoothly recently. Or maybe that's what I thought? Or maybe my brain is not performing up to standards? :P 
I just don't know how to go about explaining. But I just feel the sian-ness slowly creeping up on me recently. 

Today is the worst I think... Let me see...
I overslept this morning.
My mum prepared breakfast for me so by right I don't have to buy breakfast this morning. I can only get tea and that's all. But I am not sure what was going on in my head. I went to buy bee hoon and only realized my mistake after paying for it! My brain really not processing well seriously -.-
And also other stuff, but I am not going to elaborate all of them here of course.

And also:

But nevertheless, not going to let all these get me down. I'm sure things will get better.

Like what others say, if things are not smooth at the moment, this is not the end. Better things will come and I am sure looking forward to the rainbow after the rain, even though it's only a tiny glimpse of it. 

非常完美

Recently have been watching a variety show, 非常完美 - a chinese dating show where they have 15 bachelors (fixed) and female guests who will be there either for a particular guy or to find her right one. 

Personally, I liked this 非常完美 better than 非诚勿扰. The quality of the bachelors and female guests are rather acceptable I feel. 

Through this show, I had watched many female guests being at the show for someone they liked - either they met before previously or through watching of this show. You can see how these female guests had make preparations to confess to the guy, all the sweet and touching stuff they did. They are really very brave to be standing on the stage in front of everyone (live and tv) confessing to the guy without any knowing of what the outcome would be. The things they did and all, just shows one thing: 为你所喜欢的人付出是一件非常幸福的事情 :)

There are also cases whereby the guy had rejected the girl previously. Yet, the girl had not given up and still come for the show again for him - Touching and brave! Also cases whereby the guy had turned for the girl and confessed to the girl and yet the girl had rejected, but subsequently regretted and came back to the show for the guy. 

All sorts of scenarios if you asked me. Life's unpredictable. If it's really what you want, hold on to it, things might turn out for the best? But at the same time, do not shut out the other opportunities which you might encounter. It might also be for the best. Whatever is your decision, as long as you are happy, you do not have to answer to anyone and do not really mind what others think. A friend had told me before that he don't care what others think because people who know him will know that he is not the way others think he is. Rather true isn't it? :)

A song in the show to listen to: 

Contribution can be a happy thing

Treating everyone good sometimes means being taken advantage of. And as such, we stop contributing time and effort that much on others.

But I am glad that you had shown me that contribution can be a very blissful and happy thing. I really learnt a lot and am glad for that:) 

With that, I am willing to take the step out and discover the wonders of it! :)

《哭哭啼啼是一天，嘻嘻哈哈也是一天。既然如此，不如开开心心的过每一天？》

往往我们的生命里是不可能十全十美，不可能没碰到不好或让我们不开心的事。大家都一定会在生活中的某个角落经历过。

也因为我们所面对的种种事情，我们开始变了。变得不开心了？还是用微笑来遮盖心里的伤心？还是完完全全的变了？

我们都在改变，但不知改变是否是好或坏。


最近有一个朋友让我担心了。他开始变了。。变成一个我快要不认识甚至不了解的人。他经历了一些不开心的事，但总是闷在心里不说，总是用他的笑容来遮掩为。
我们都好想在他的身边陪他面对，即使我们帮不上忙，我们也可以当他的聆听者。但他就是那么的爱逞强就是不想让大家为他担心。

他不说但能看的出来。他的动作已说明了一切。虽然总是带着笑容，但他好像开始慢慢把身边的人都推开，似乎好像累了，不想让任何人太靠近他，害怕受到伤害，只想自己一个人。

但是，他这样子快乐吗？

我是多么的希望能再次看到以前那个他，那个因为真正因为开心而笑的那个他。。
多么希望他能找到能让他真正开心的事而再次真心的笑。


你也变了吗？而你的改变让你快乐吗？是往好的方向改变或是往坏的方向改变呢？

听一听以下的歌吧！
好想知道下一个我会是什么角色。。。
是时间翻到新的一页了。。。

Shape Run 2014 (17 Aug 2014)

When's the last time you wake up at 5am and on a Sunday? I woke up that early for the run... in order to reach on half an hour before the flag off time.

Didn't really sleep the night before due to being excited and scared all at the same time! Reason being I had not participated in long distance runs ever since secondary days. Been a while and even though I am looking forward to running again, I was afraid that my body won't be able to take it since I had not been running and doing any training.

But once I start running, the feeling is back again! :)
I would have to say that I am shocked and amazed that I am still able to run non-stop and to think that the distance is 5km! Initially I had thought that since I have not been running for a while now, I might not have the stamina to sustain through the whole of 5km and that even 2.4km is said to be impossible for me. However, it turns out to be alright. Shocking to the max! 

Everything have been rather smooth today except for the uneven paths. At the start of the race, someone fell due to the uneven concrete roads. But lucky, no serious injuries. And for myself, all of us were running down the path of grass patch and drain when the thing just gave way and I fell into it, grazing just the side of my leg. Lucky it isn't very serious and I was able to continue on. hehe. Another incident is at the end of the race while we are queuing to collect our medals and finisher tee, my eyesight suddenly darken where there are patches of darkness. Maybe it's due to the lack of water. Cuz we only managed to see one water point throughout the 5km race, and we didn't come across any near the finishing line. And the place where we are queuing for the medals and finisher tee, the water was provided there. But the queue was just too long. After getting some help, I did feel better after drinking some:)

And so, I have unlocked a new accomplishment for myself today at the Shape Run 2014! Woohooooooooo~ I did not regret at all for participating in this run, and I am glad that my friend had asked me along:)

Begin Again

Caught the movie "Begin Again". A movie I had made up my mind to watch after the movie "The Fault In Our Stars". 

A short synopsis of the movie:
Story of how the individuals who had encountered huddles in their life, met and come together through their love for music. Showcasing their process of transformation (the struggles and difficulties) to stand back up on their feet and make achievements in life.



I had thought that this might be a great movie. But I have to say that I am rather disappointed with it. As in yes the music videos are really nice. But just maybe, it's lacking on the story line? The ending especially!! I am expecting more than that! Seriously~ The ending is rather abrupt that we do not know what to expect next. The first thing that comes into my mind is "What? Ending already?" 

SIGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Okay, aside from the negativity...

One point the movie had proven though:

What doesn't kills you makes you stronger.
Life is never smooth-sailing. Things happen and life still goes on. It's up to you to decide if you want to wallow in your sadness, or to get up on your feet and accomplish some achievements in life. 

Taking the people in the movie for example.. They have the choice - the choice to turn their life around. If they didn't take the chance at all, will they come this far in the end? I guess not! Think about this.

Life is about taking chances. You never try, you never know. So what if you take the chance and you fall? Stand back up and try again. Doesn't mean you fall once, you will fall everytime. You will succeed one day! Prove all others who had looked down on you that they are wrong! 

Take a chance!! :)


A song in the movie that I like! 

The Fault In Our Stars

Caught the movie, The Fault In Our Stars, on Monday! A great way to kill Monday blues. A wrong move of mine to put on eyeliner when most of us have heard that it is a sad movie. But anyways, I just had to be careful when wiping the tears from my eyes. Hahaha! Lucky I didn't put on mascara though! 

Had wanted to catch this movie way before it was screened in the cinemas, but i dragged until now. However, it's never too late I guess. At least I get the chance to catch it before it ends:) And I am glad I did!

So what makes me want to catch this movie? Reason is simple - because I get to learn something from it. Reviews had stated that it was based on a novel which is a number 1 New York Times Bestseller!  It's a great movie and I get to learn something from it! Killing two birds with one stone~   

A short synopsis of the movie:

The movie depicts the story of two teenagers diagnosed with cancer, being in love with each other, and how they braved through their numbered days against the odds.  

Things I learnt from the movie: 

Life is very fragile. The things you least expect, do happen. 

I guess those of you who have watched the movie, would be able to understand where I am coming from. But for those who haven't watch the movie yet, I will not spoil the story for you all here. Go and watch it if you have the chance. It's a really good movie! 

So back to the lesson learnt. You will never know what happen during your journey through life. Of course it will never always be smooth sailing. There's meant to be the downside of life. But nevertheless, cherish every moments you have and embrace the events that had occurred. They are there to enable you to learn and grow up, shaping you to be a better and stronger person. Live your life to the fullest and don't leave any room for regrets! 

It takes leaps of courage to hold onto the promise you make. 

What are words if you only say things in the spur of the moment without meaning what you said? At the point of time, it might seem like the right thing to say or something just spark yourself to say or make certain promises. You may mean it at that point of time. But what if in the event something bad happen? Would you still be able to keep up to the promise of whatever you had said before? Would you still be there for the person?

I would say not many are able to do that. That's why I admire those who can do it. The movie depicts this very intensely, and it really really touched me. Despite knowing the odds, they still stand true to their promises and being there for each other. 



Having said the above, we are also aware that the romance between both of them are also very sweet and touching. I literally melted! 

I guess most of you would also want a love like this right? Someone who care that much for you, someone who will always be there for you regardless what circumstances. If you are already with this someone, cherish him/her. And as for those who haven't, no worries! You will definitely meet the right one someday! :)

I would really love to watch such movies sometime soon! :) 

Daddy's Birthday!

Celebrated my dad's birthday during the weekends. A mini celebration. Time flies, I still remembered us holding a surprise party at home for him last year. And now it's his birthday again! Haha! And so, here's some of the updates:

Soccer Theme Cake made specially by my mum. First attempt at making the soccer theme cake. And a surprise for my dad! I guess he did not expect it since my mum had told him she will be baking a fruit flavour cake for him. Cheeky mummy:P 

Here's how the cake looks like after being cut out. Colours!!
Sorry that it looks ugly after being cut out. haha.. 

Hope my dad enjoyed himself even though he is feeling a little under the weather recently. Hope he get well soon!

And look at my cheeky cousin! HAHAHA!

Feeling under the weather

The month of July is seriously not my month, with stomach pain at the start of the month and thereafter followed by gastric pains this week.

Since long, I have been having gastric pains but it had been bearable since the last visit to the hospital a few years back when the pain had kicked in rather bad at midnight. But other than that, so far it was still alright - it was bearable and after taking the medicine, I will be alright after that. 

But the pain since Tuesday morning, regardless of taking the medicine, it still did not get better. And I left office in the late afternoon to visit a doctor. I actually wanted to go to the clinic which I usually visit, but it was closed and will only open at night. That's why I went to another clinic which was nearby. And the next day visited yet another doctor who referred me to visit a specialist. 

I got to say that I will not be going back to the first doctor again. One time experience is enough. haha. Cuz for me, I don't really like to eat medicine and is a little wary of the medicine which doctors have prescribed to me. So I only eat medicine given by doctors I trust! Those weird weird ones, I will just skipped those. *Secrets*

So wells~ shall visit the specialists and see how it goes then! Praying hard! 

Hooked to this song!

Stumbled across this song, and boy am I hooked to this song! Again! 

你那么爱她 为什么不把她留下 为什么不说心里话 你深爱她 这是每个人都知道啊~

Back To The Previous Era

Recently, I was struggling. Struggling to survive without my 3G data plan! A real hard time as we have already gotten use to the advancement of technology that keeps everyone connected. In this current era, smart phones and internet is much of a necessity to us. They have become a part of our daily life and we can't seem to be able to separate ourselves from them seeing from the way we keep engaging ourselves in our smartphones anytime and anywhere.

First time ever that I very nearly exceeded my data plan. I guess there's always a first time in everything? haha! But if I tell you all how many GB my data plan is, and I still can nearly exceed, I think you all will kill me. Confirm chop! 

Well~ I think.... I am not going to disclose how many GB I got. :P 
But I would have to say that the main reason is due to watching of dramas without using wifi. That explains the high usage this month. And also if I am home, I seldom use wifi. Lucky I actually went to check and to my horror, I used that much! Imagine if I did not check at all. And continue using. My phone bill will confirm explode. Thanks to my instinct to check! :P 

Nevertheless, during this period, I felt that I was already quite privileged - At least I can still have access via computers and wifi connection and not totally a cut-off:) I would say that this period was not that bad. Yes I do not have access to my whatsapp and all when there's no wifi, but at least I can treat the time without wifi as an alone time clear of those noise. Having some time to myself and think about stuff and clear thoughts. Hehe. 

Never want to try that again anytime soon I hope.. Shall use my 3G very cautiously. Hehe

Temper? What's Yours!

Do you know what kind of temper you have? Are you those kind who are hot-tempered? Or are you the complete opposite? Only one way to find out! Try out this Quiz here: "How's Your Temper"

Below is a screenshot of mine! Rather true. I am always quick in terms of my temper. I might be angry one minute and say things out of anger, but the next, I am okay. So if I say anything out of anger, please don't take it too personally. I just need to vent out. I will be okay after a while. And yea~ I don't hold any grudges unless you hurt me too much? HAHAHA! But so far... nothing much. Not that I can remember of. See~ told you I don't hold grudges! :P 






Having said the above, even though it's good that I don't hold grudges and only remain angry for a short period of time (can be in minutes:P), it is actually not good to have quick anger. Reason being you will react to anger immediately and say things you do not mean it to heart and regret it. Some people might also take your words personally. So to me, quick temper to anger is something that I might need to look into and improve upon. 

So have a try for yourself to see how's your temper and if it really fits you to a tee:) Maybe you might realize another side to your temper. Before I did this quiz, I would rate my temper as medium range. Neither too hot tempered or very calm. It never occurred to me that my  quick in temper! Only after doing this quiz, I felt it's the right word to describe my temper rather than just categorizing it under medium range. LOL. At least I learnt something about my temper now!

Awesome Saturday (05 July 2014)

Had a real awesome day despite the morning rush and also not being able to sleep in given the great weather earlier this morning! But at least I get to sleep 1 hour more today as compared to during weekdays when I have work. Not that bad I guess? Better than nothing:P 

Well~ The impromptu itinerary of the day started out in this sequence: Bugis-Cityhall-Somerset-Orchard! 
Been a while since I last shopped for a whole day! This really reminds me about the time at Bangkok! Walking non-stop and not having snacks in between except for our mains. Differences are that we don't get to have the cheap wholesale prices (I am still remembering receiving wholesale prices for purchases of 3 items. 1 piece for 60 baht which is almost equivalent to $2.50! Where can you find such prices in Singapore? Sighhh... I am missing BKK already!!). Shall stop here already! If not, I think I can go on and on about what I missed at Bangkok. Haha! Now back to the differences, another would be that we get to be indoors most of the time, and even if we are walking outdoors, the weather was not that hot today so it was rather acceptable:) It's way better than the scotching hot sunny weather over at Bangkok. 

Anyway, I think me and my friend chose the right day to meet up. We got a few good buys and free gifts during our day out! Below screenshot of the items. Lucky for the big plastic bag that we can use to fit all our items into one carrier. And to think we were saying that the person gave each of us such a big bag when we only bought one item from there. Hehe.

We also went to the JobCentral Career Fair to have a look since we are at Suntec. My friend was telling me about it and since we pass by the area, we went to have a look. Because of the trip there, I saw the SEA Games thing there. It make me want to volunteer for the event even more! Didn't take any actions to apply for it previously partly due to disapproval from my mum saying if I want to volunteer, then I might as well stay home and do housework. But why can't she understand that it's totally different? Volunteering for such events is also different from volunteering at old folks home as well. To date, I have to say that I did not regret volunteering for YOG previously and I am glad I went ahead to apply to volunteer that time:) 

So.... because I do not want to miss out on the opportunity to volunteer for the SEA Games, I just went to apply online. Shall take action and talk after bah. Hopefully my mum will understand my viewpoint.   

Oh ya! And earlier, we encountered someone saying that wrinkles is due to laughing too much! LOL! So remember, don't laugh too much if you don't wanna have wrinkles:P 

But I realized that we will also squirt our eyes when crying. So why didn't the person say it's due to crying too much? HAHAHA! Omggg. Ignore me, I am just being lame here~  

Anyway, that's about all~ Shall turn in for the night! 
안녕히 주무세요 (annyeonghi jumuseyo)!
That's Goodnight in Korean :)

Hello July~

It's the first day of July and how are all of you doing so far? Hope everything is fine for all of you guys so far! :) For me, it's not starting out too well... What with being unwell, down with flu and also about to exceed my 3G usage and I still have to last till next wednesday. Bad start, but I am sure it will become better soon:)

But for now, I am gonna stop here. Really not feeling that well at the moment... 

So enjoy the month of July!! :D

Cafe Hopping to Group Therapy @ Tanjong Pagar

I realized that I had not blogged about my experience at Group Therapy quite some time back. Can't really remember exactly when. I just came across the photos that was taken there in my phone and don't recall having posted anything on it. 

So here goes...

Group Therapy is located on the 2nd level of a shophouse, offering brunch and desserts menu. Due to the location of the cafe at the 2nd level, people might miss it or are unaware of this cafe. So while you are there in search of this cafe, you might want to keep a lookout for this sign below. We went there just purely for desserts. But their main specialty is in their lunch/ brunch. So try that when you are there:)

Keep a lookout for this sign!

Ice Chocolate
I still miss the Ice Chocolate at DOC. It's still rank at 1st. Haha. This tasted alright. But I guess DOC is hanging on to 1st place due to the addition top-up of Ice Cream that makes it special? Not sure what you all think about Ice Chocolate but for me, my favourite is still the one at DOC.

Lemon Crumble Bar
(Tangy Lemon Curd on a firm pastry base topped with buttery crumble)
Not a fan of this. Thin crust and you can taste more of the lemon curd. One thing, it's too lemony. It can serve as appetizers but I feel the lemony taste is rather overwhelming.  

Belgian-Styled Waffle
(With Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Sauce, Almonds, and Fruits)
Of the 2 desserts we tried, this is something which I liked and prefer more for. For the fruits, there are actually bananas, strawberries and blueberries. Loving it~

Not All Endings Are Good Ones

Recently, I started to read a book.. Not going to disclose the title of the book which will spoil the plot for those who happened to be reading it or intending to read it. :P

So yeah, what happened was that, like many people before they start to read a book, I flipped to the last chapter of the final book to see what the ending was like. And truth is, I regretted. I had predicted it to be a happy ending, but end up I found it to be a sad ending:( This is so going to affect my mood to read the book even though I am dying to know how it happened.

We always presume that those endings for dramas and stories are happy ones. That's mostly the case, doesn't it? But happy endings don't always exists in the real world. Not saying it don't, but just that it doesn't ALWAYS happen...

But sometimes you ought to agree that dramas/ stories that have happy endings no matter how unrealistic it is, it is sometimes much more preferred than those with sad endings. People faced problems in real life and such fantasy-based happy endings provide them a temporary escape from reality and fantasy that hope still exists in the world somewhere and motivates them to be on the search for it. Motivates them to tide through low periods in their life and to find the rainbow after the rain.

To me, I personally feel that we will never know what will happen to us down the road, never know what will become of us by then, and never know if our ending will be a happy or a sad one. We can't foresee what will happen in the end, but what we can be sure of, is to create many happy memories or and live a fulfilling life as we venture down the route of our life. :) Sometimes the stories means more than the endings!

Sometimes I just need a breather

Ever come across times when you felt like you are struggling very hard to breathe and even catching a tiny gasp of air is like a million miles away, out of your reach?

If I had known that turning 23 will lead to all these, I rather time remains in the previous years. Things might be not that smooth-sailing then, but at least they are still somewhat manageable and within my tolerance level.

But now? It is like I am standing on top of a broken bridge and struggling. It's either I cross this bridge successfully, or I fall through the gaps of this broken bridge. I have no idea how to cross this bridge and unsure of what lies ahead of me on the other side of this bridge.

You have no idea what is going on. You have no idea what are the things I am going through. You have no idea that I am already starting to fake my smiles. But all you know is to rub it in into my deepest wounds. The wounds that I tried to conceal and hide from every single person. The wounds that made me cry secretly without anyone knowing. But now, after you added salt in, it is even more unbearable that even thinking about it had my tears flowing out.

Sometimes I wish I can just get out of things here and just go to somewhere else for a breather. I hate being so vulnerable and I am angry with myself for being so. So, if I flare up at you, I don't actually mean it. I am just angry at myself. I am sorry..

Time Waits For No Men

And once again, it's the month of June! This means I will yet again be one year older than before! :(
I finally get what people have been saying. That once you pass the age of 21, your life will zoom past like a rocket. Before you know it, you are already a few years older. That is so exactly what I am feeling. Like they say, "Time and tide waits for no men". Very extremely true. And you start wondering what you have been doing all these years, and you realized that there were not much major accomplishments. For me, I guess it's only the completion of my degree course.

So now with my degree in check, what now? This is something I have been thinking so far. Before completion of degree course, my goal in life is to persevere through the tough life of studying part-time and getting the piece of certificate that will open up doors to more opportunities. But now, I am no longer sure of my next goal. To find career progression? To find a partner? Or what? This is definitely something to start thinking about and doing something about it..

A song to listen to! 我不想我不想不想长大~

Stepping Out Of Our Comfort Zones & Embrace Uncertainties

I guess everyone will eventually reach a point where they have to leave their familiar and cosy enclosed space into the outside. Stepping away from the safety net that was always there to catch us when we fall and not expose us to pain. Many would rather not stay away from the safety net and rainbow-filled carefree life, but we have no choice.

Reality is in such a way that we have to step out of it somehow, into the city of wilderness. Here, you will never know what will be happening next. You will not know what lies in front of you. You will encounter many obstacles and you have to make choices and decide on your next course of action which are most likely to affect you subsequently be it in a good way or a bad way. The choice and decision lies in your own hands. Making decisions and choices given the grey area of circumstances and outcomes. And this require lots of courage.  

Yes it may take leaps of courage, but don’t wait until it’s too late to change anything and regret the things you didn’t do or decisions you didn't make or things you didn't cherish. Stop waiting to be ready to do something. It’s time to be be brave and step out of your comfort zone and embrace the uncertainties. Sometimes the person holding you back is yourself~

Just keep reminding yourself that life is never smooth-sailing. It’s like a sail boat in the middle of the sea. There will always be obstacles around and choices to be made to overcome them. But ultimately, you will be able to get out of the web of obstacles and see the beautiful horizon view in the end! :)

P.S. Just some random thoughts.. 

Day 4: Bangkok Trip (May 2014)

Finally the last day of our trip there. Time really flies~ And that marks the end of our trip indicating that we are back to face the reality:(

So on this last day, we had decided to go to the Pratunam Market again for a last and final round of shopping. Lucky for us, we managed to find more clothes than the previous days when we were there. Not sure why we did not come across some of them in the earlier days, but we are glad that at least we managed to find something on the last day. Accomplishment unlocked! Worth waking up early once more :P

We then proceed on our way to the cafes as per planned - Roast Coffee & Eatery & Mr Jones Orphanage! Directions that was being searched on how to get there states that the nearest bts station is Thonglor Station and it is just a 15 minutes walk from there.. But guess what? We walked for around more than 30 mins before we finally reached there. And we are not even walking at our usual strolling pace. We are literally brisk walking! Imagine that! And after we walked for 15 mins at our fast pace and still not reaching yet, we actually stopped to ask the locals and they replied that it's very near and that we just have to walk another 10 mins or so. That's why in the end, it was quite rushing for us as we need to be back at the hotel to check out and rush to the airport. At least now we know that if the locals say walking distance of 15 mins, we have to multiply by 2 just to be on the safe side.


Roast Coffee & Eatery

Big Breakfast Set
Their portion as usual is rather small. But they are quite generous with their portion of vegetables! Healthy living. But too bad, I am not a fan of vegetables:P 

My friend ordered this. Forgotten the name of it though. But we got a shock when her dish came. Portion really really small! 

Mr Jones Orphanage

Chocky Mud Pie (Highly Recommended!)
This pie is served hot and fresh from the oven with dark chocolate filled center. Goes really well with the ice cream:) 

Nutella Cake
Initally wanted to order the Kit Kat cake with M&Ms as it looks special but they run out of it. So we ordered this instead. To me, I find that it is too chocolaty for my liking. 

Overall, I enjoyed myself during my 4D3N over at BKK and also thanks to our "tour guide" for the planning of itinerary and lead:) I would like to go there again! But of course after their protests are over. I am glad that everything turns out well during our trip there and we are safely back in Singapore! :)

Day 3: Bangkok Trip (May 2014)

Day 3 of the Bangkok Trip.. Not much to update today as mostly is relating to shopping:) I can't remember when I have walked that much for quite some time already. Imagine walking from 6 plus in the morning up till night time 11 plus where we go for massage before calling it a day. Even more tiring than working! HAHA!

Anyway, we went to MBK, and while you are there, you should go and try Mont Nom Sod - The Milk and Toast Cafe! Must Try! It is actually located at the second level and operating from 11am - 9pm. When we reach there, there is already a long queue and the tables are all occupied. We have to wait for a while before we finally got seats. The exterior of the cafe looks really ordinary and reminds us of the Ya Kun over in Singaore. But I guess you just have to try it yourself to conclude that it's not as ordinary as it looks!

Basically, they have two kinds of bread namely, the toasted bread slices topped with a spread (they actually have a few varieties of spreads), and another will be the soft steam bread with a dip (coconut custard or chocolate). 

We only tried 3 flavours of their toasted bread slices - Coconut Custard, Condensed Milk, and Chocolate. Their highly recommended ones includes their Coconut Custard (which tasted just like kaya), and Condensed Milk. After trying all 3 flavours, we had a vote and guess what? The Condensed Milk win the votes! And this is followed by the Coconut Custard and lastly the Chocolate!

Their Ice Milk Tea
Super duper sweet!

After drinking the Milk Tea, it was so sweet. And then we realized that the menu board actually indicated this "If you want less sugar, please inform our staff when you order". A little too late as we already started drinking. Why did we never see this earlier? :(

Day 2 Part 2: Bangkok Trip (May 2014)

Well, we spent the rest of the day shopping around. Our next stop was initially to Chinatown but then the Tuk Tuk uncle told us that there is protests over there. That is why we changed venue to the next in our itinerary which is to Sukhumvit Night Food Street which is famous for their Sticky Rice and Wanton Noodle.

On our journey to Sukhumvit Night Food Street, we actually checked social medias to see if there is really protests over there. The power and usefulness of social medias nowadays. But there are no news at all. And my friend went to check with Richard Barrow, a blogger, on the protests at Chinatown. The reply that we got is that there is no protests being held there at all and it is safe for tourists to go there. Kenna bluff by the Tuk Tuk uncle:( Thus our decision to go to Chinatown after Sukhumvit Night Food Street.

We are only able to find the famous Mango Sticky Rice stall but not the Crab Meat Wanton Noodle. All the tables along the roadside are filled up so we only get to sit all the way inside in an enclosed area and there is not much ventilation and is too stuffy.

Mango Sticky Rice!
Not too bad with the freshness and sweet taste of the mango.

Durian Sticky Rice
We saw that they also have this so decided to order to try as well. I prefer the mango better. The combination of the durian and coconut tastes rather weird. Think they are more specialize in Mango Sticky Rice instead. haha!

Pad Thai
The Mango Sticky Rice stall lady recommended us the Pad Thai from this particular stall. A lil salty for our liking.. 

After the meal, we went to buy coconut to drink. I still remember that while I am drinking, I am facing the pavement to the enclosed area which we were at a short few minutes before. And the next moment, I saw one whole group of people running out towards us. The first thought that came to my mind is protests or something. But after we moved out of the way and realized that the reason is due to fire, I then processed that there is no way there could have been a protest breakout there as there is no way to enter from other routes other than the path we are standing at while having coconut. Thinking back, the process is real funny even though the actual encounter is shocking as we got no idea what is happening at that point in time.

Thereafter, we proceeded to Chinatown....

Their Chinatown really looks like the one in Singapore! I should have taken a photo of it from the middle of the road while on the Cab. The similarities are even more obvious.

Shark Fins Soup in a Claypot!

Bird Nest with Ginko Nuts!

The scary moment is when we are trying to cross the road at Chinatown. The number of vehicles on the road and there is no way you can cross even if you continue to wait until there's no traffic. The vehicles will just keep coming! So you have to just cross one lane at a time. Stressful to the max! HAHAHA!

And again, we end the day with Thai massage, but this time I chose to do a shoulder massage. And I regretted! Cuz the person who helped me do the massage is really trying to murder me. Literally. After the whole process, my shoulders hurt more and it is very red! Never going to do shoulders again... But I guess the process and results varies based on the person who is helping you with the massage. You can just pray hard that the person you get is good.
