Impromptu JB Trip (17 Sept 2017)

Impromptu JB trip with le friend - me to get a book. And my friend to get mooncake for her mum. But most importantly, to eat good food :)

Since it's an impromptu sunday trip, we went in via bus. Just gonna touched on the main highlights - aka food! Since the rest would be just shopping around at City Square Mall, KSL, and Aeon.

First stop - Faculty of Caffeine
Our driver had a hard time finding this place. We turned around and around for quite a while before managing to find it in the end. We nearly wanted to give up finding and just make do with any other cafe we see along this stretch of road.

06, Jalan Trus, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Opening Hours:
9am - 6pm (Closed on Tuesday)

The Breakfast
Choice of Smoked Chicken Ham/Beef Bacon, Sauteed Mushroom, Sous Vide Egg/ Baked Beans, Hush Brown, Mustard Seed Butter and Waffles

Unagi Signature Tendon
Japanese mixed tempura on a bowl of rice, a twist with the traditional Donburi. Can choose from 3 options: Chicken, Vegetarian, or Unagi

Conclusion: 
The food was yummyyyyyyy! Too bad we have to save space in our stomach for other stuff too. If not, we would have ordered truffle fries or settle for their waffles dessert there!


So after the mains, we left the place for dessert, which is just some walking distance from where we were.  

The dessert place - Sangkaya @ Jalan Dhoby

14, Jalan Dhoby, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Coconut Ice Cream! 

And thereafter we left for KSL shopping mall to shop around.

Ice Cream time~
It looks nice and special. But then it's quite sweet!
Good for photo taking but eating wise, hmm... unless you have a sweet tooth or else beware of sugar rush.

And our last final stop - Car Born Cafe
Jalan Pendekar 13, Taman Ungku Tun Aminah, 81300 Skudai, Johor, Malaysia

Opening Hours: 12pm - 12am (Closed on Mondays)

The pictures will speak for itself I guess. HAHA! 
After this meal, I confirm that my throat became worse. Too much chocolate!
But this cafe sure is quite cozy :)

And wells~ this pretty much summed up our trip. And then we are back to travelling back to Singapore and face the monday blues the next day.

Cafe Hopping to 23 Jumpin

First cafe I ever visited at Tai Seng! 
Who would have known that this ulu area would have cafe hidden within? Not me, definitely. Until my friend told me about it. But it sure is a hidden gem to open up cafe in such ulu areas, away from the crowd and noise. Just plain peaceful :)

But don't worry. This cafe is pretty much accessible - just a 5 minutes walk from Tai Seng MRT! 

The drink we ordered. Not sure what drink this is already. Something mojito if not wrong. It's in their side menu.
Refreshing drink! 

Jumpin's Ultimate Breakfast
(Bacon/ Honey Baked Ham/ Bratwurst Sausage/ Scrambled Eggs/ Bread/ Greens/ Pasta Salad)
Loving it, except for the pasta salad. And I prefer that the scrambled eggs are more runny.

Truffle Fries
Our favourite! <3

Jumpin's Original Cotta
It tasted okay, but then it's not something we know how to appreciate. Too sweet for our liking also.

If you are there, perhaps can have a try at the Charcoal waffle. It looks not bad though!

Blissful Marriage to Nana

This is basically a much overdued post! 

Congrats to Lina <3 
Can't believe that time really flies. I thought it was not long ago that they got together. Since we knew how it started or who introduce. HAHA! :P

And then, at the end of the wedding lunch, our table became a Mobile Legend gaming session. Not sure how it started, or who asked. Then in the end, those who played the game, started to play together. 

Busy ML-ing~

Just us girls

And here's a picture of full attendance :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And not forgetting the hens night. Rather impromptu since it was just supposed to be a casual normal meetup. We didn't expect to escalate to hens night in just less than 24 hrs? 
Our initial plan (since there's no hens night), was to just order a cake for her. 
This new plan for hens night activity was kicked start on the day of the meetup itself - the Bachelorette Bingo game (generation of the ideas for the bingo boxes etc), the rushing down to town to get the balloon and headband. 

So the bingo game design was mainly done up by my friend. While I rush to Bugis to grab the balloon and headband before hitching to Punggol. 

The items for her hen's night

The Eeyore cake we planned to give her. 

What came as a surprise was my birthday cake. HAHA! 

So both me and Lina was shocked since we expected the cake for the other party, but not for ourselves. 

Afternoon Out Cycling @ East Coast Park

Been a while since I last went to East Coast Park to cycle. Since it's quite some distance from where I am staying at. So.. even though I like to enjoy the sea breeze etc, I seldom go there too. Until recently, where I went with my family and cousin. 

Lucky it did not rain that day, and the afternoon wasn't exactly scorching hot. So it was pretty much a nice weather to be out cycling :)

Our bicycles rented (2 hrs and we got 1 more hour free) and ready to cycle off~

So at first we cycled the other direction for around 1 hour. Then break a while at McDonalds for some drinks before heading the other direction towards Marina Bay which was suggested by my brother. 

The tiring part is the upwards slope. So my brother warned us to build up the momentum and speed when nearing the upwards slope. Otherwise you will have difficulty cycling upslope and might have to push your bike instead. 

The view that welcomed us on the other side! :)

Did I also mentioned before that I am not a good 2-wheel bicycle rider? HAHA! Yes it's true. I always get injured when riding a 2-wheel bicycle.

This time round not excused also. But then this time round, it happened while I was dismounting the bicycle. LOL. Don't ask me why. I also have no idea! It just happened that I sort of lost my balance. Lucky my mum's stationary bicycle was beside so it kinda break my fall. But still ended with bruises. 

Nevertheless, this is not going to stop me from riding the bicycle. I like the feeling of riding against the wind with nice scenery beside. I like the feeling of overtaking other people like the case of running (though I don't really run now). I like the feeling of forgetting about everything while riding the bicycle, just focusing on riding and enjoying the wind blowing. It does get my mind off things for a while. 

Not sure when the next time will be :)

三生三世十里桃花 Eternal Love

三生三世十里桃花, The drama which I have been watching recently. That's cuz of the movie which will be screening in cinemas soon! Definitely going to catch that though, regardless of whether I am able to complete watching the drama series version. 

There's a total of 58 episodes! And yet I am still only at episode 8? HAHA. Really quite some way to go ahhh. I didn't know that I will get hook that jialat though. And also, if it's normally, I don't think I will even start on those dramas that is more than 30 episodes.  

The songs that I like from the drama: 






And of course not forgetting the movie preview:
Yang Yang! 



Can't wait to catch the movie! :)

Hello August

And believe it or not, it's August already! 
I just realized that this year, I had only posted one post so far? *insert shocking face!* 

Now that I found out that there's a lot of things which I haven't update in this site, seriously I had no idea how to proceed to update. Have been busy and even though I am free, I rather just chill and not turning on my laptop to blog etc. Lazy me:P

But that's also because the blogger app no longer support mobile blogging on the go. Part of the reason why I created a wordpress account too:P
You can access my wordpress account (which is the same name as my dayre account). HAHA. 

This year have really been a year that encompasses quite a number of changes and uncertainties. But of course I am not going to list those out since sharing here might means disclosing to the public. Certain things not meant to be shared so openly to public :P

Let me try to update some happenings recently perhaps in the next few posts? Best to my memory LOL. 

A song that I am hooked to the tune. Rather catchy~
