Valentine's Day 2014

Since it's #ThrowbackThursday today, I've decided to do a short blog post on Valentine's Day this year; Mainly because I've found some pictures worth reminiscing about in my phone while doing some backup few days ago ^^. If I didn't remember wrongly, this year's V-Day was rather special as it's on the same day with Double Seventh Festival of the Lunar Calendar (aka the Chinese V-Day). I spent most of the days during CNY with my beloved family, went to so many places and got lazy to post about our CNY celebration coz there's wayyy too much photos lol.

Pancake House, Midvalley

Went with my mum, aunt and sis around few days before v-day.

Totally can't remember the name, I think it was my sis who ordered this. Some chocolate pancake with cream and cinnamon maybe.

My aunt ordered this! The caramelized banana looks good ^^.

And...this was my order. Obviously ordered this because it's pink and heart shaped. Taste wise it was only average at most, it would be much better if shared.

CNY Dinner (few days before valentine)

CNY dinner with my ex-colleagues~ Kinda miss them lol although I do see/chat with them quite often, but only some of them though. Am gonna see more of my ex-colleagues after my closing~ Can't wait to meet up with the Japanese!! Haven't seen them since resignation ^^.

My V-day Nail Art ~

This nail art seriously killed my nails gao gao. Had to do super extensive nail care for months for it to be strong and pretty again. Haiz..The things we girls would do for a fleet of happiness lol.

CNY nails

To be honest I'm super proud of this Nail art creation. Did this all by myself (design and colors). I've spent days looking at nail art books and videos for inspiration, and I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome! One of my favourite nail art creation hehe.

Grand Shanghai Valentine Family Dinner

We (my family) went Grand Shanghai on V-day itself to celebrate both Vday and Chap Goh Mei + Double Seventh Festival. I really love some of the dishes there, although I've had them countless times haha, still feel like going back there for a nice chinese meal.

My Parents~

And me. I realised I forgot to take pictures for my sis on that day LOL. She was too busy helping me and my parents to take pictures and forgot about herself. How kind of her.

V-day OOTD

 

Gonna end this post with an OOTD. 80% of the outfit from Foruchizu.

Sage Restaurant & Wine Bar @The Gardens, Mid Valley

28 February 2014

Had a gathering with my ex-colleagues at Sage Restaurant, The Gardens few days before I started on my new job. It was something that I really wanted to try, so am feeling a little sorry for Benjamin who prefers Chinese cuisine. I would LOVE to meet up with Peggie after my exams though, we can go around to try out more good foods ^^.

 

Anyway we went for the RM100 Seasonal Lunch Menu.

There's quite a few tables that day. I'm quite happy with the menu although I would prefer ala carte for more choices.

 

Appetizer: Sous Vide of Ox Tail with Foie Gras and Buckwheat Grout Ragout

 

 

Decided on this choice of appetizer even though I really wanted to try out the scallop too. Peggie chose the scallop one instead; I had a try and it's good too~

 

Main Course: Etuve of Alaska Halibut with Sakura Ebi and Wakame Broth

All three of us ordered the same mains. I think it's so so only to my taste. Nothing wow about this. The fish was cooked alright though.

 

Dessert: Fresh Mango, Passion Fruit with Sabayon and Vanilla Ice Cream

 

Pretty much like the name says haha. I prefer desserts like creme brulee or caramel pudding, or maybe some tea-infused desserts. Even cheese cake would be better, with a cup of black coffee. Peggie ordered the cheese, it's good but i find it rather dry.

 

My next target for French fine dinning would be Frangipani i hope! Or Maison Francaise maybe ^^

Spring 2014 Lookback~

I've had a rather good Spring this year! In terms of food, shopping and some performances though, since my schedule is pretty hectic with work and studies etc (I don't even wanna think about it). I'm still trying to find more time to try out some new stuffs, so will be working hard to find the equilibrium between work/studies and fun.

 

Anyway~ Here's the pics! Photos will be arranged from old to new ^^ if I didn't recall wrongly

Pastel pink + lavendar Alpacca pouch. I supposed this was my first purchase this Spring. Was having this hidden goal to grab all the pastel colored stuff lol, so you guys could probably see tons of pastel coloured stuffs in this post.

Pastel mint green skinny jeans probably from Bershka; Pastel Lavendar and mint green spaghetti top, Black graffiti cropped top, Ice blue beret all from Forever 21; Pastel Pink knit cropped top from Zara Knit.

Pastel mint green knit cropped top from Zara knit. Was having the urge to buy the Pastel yellow one with the exact same design, but somehow didn't. Kinda regret it though, they look so flattering on me!! Oh yeah, Pastel mint green and peach beads bracelet and gold long necklace with peach coloured heart from F21.

One of my favourite shopping! Pale pastel pink skinny jeans from Mango. Walked through and forth Bershka and Mango to decide which pink skinny jeans to take. Ended up with this because the pink looks better and Mango always look better on me haha. Lavendar shorts and mint green HP cover from Bershka.

Really x100 LOVE my new HP cover! I match it up with a really pretty pearl + ribbon ear plug ^^. My phone looks really Hime (princess) now.

Happy Escape game with game buddies!!! This was at Escape Dungeong, SS15. There's the 'Menu', 'Spider treasure', Adam's Manikin which he had so much fun stripping LOL, chinamade gold etc (all the internal jokes), feel like laughing out loud while typing this hahhaa. I wish we could meet up more often for more games ><. Never ending laughters and fun with you guys~

Most recent game few weeks ago at Escape Room, Setiawalk. Love the time we spent together (as usual) but the game ending is seriously swt, impossible to solve. Am glad I stayed for the Karaoke session! I must have lost few kgs just by laughing alone, hahaha. You guys really made my day (or days) during my hard times, so thanks a lot!

Spring seasonal dessert: Hokkaido corn icecream with waffle ^^

Cha-Soba.

Great Taiwan meal + Snowflake for dessert. The taiwan restaurant isn't so great now though, the cooking getting saltier by day =__=.

At Guardian photobooth during lunch hour with batchmates.

Pudding cake from Donutes, Puchong for breakfast during quarter closing.

Got my Lovely Casio TR15! Decided on mint green as it's more rare for a camera ^^.

Looks super pretty. Sadly I still don't have the time to sit down and played with it. Gonna start using it soon! Can't wait for the time to come hehe. I'm actually eyeing for another cam but thats for another time.

I wonder if I mentioned before, but I LOVE EGGS BENEDICT!! This one is from Delicious, Gardens. Comes with sauteed mushrooms ^^.

My first Pavlova from Delicious, Gardens as well. Not bad actually.

Spring special menu from Pasta Zanmai: Hayashi Gyuusuji Cheese Risotto - Mushroom risotto with Mozzarella Cheese and Beef Sinew in Demi-glazed sauce. Had this with my lovely Akiko! I wish we could meet up more often! Better still every single day!!! And I'm typing this blog post on her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AKIKO!!! Am meeting you real soon so wait for me!

Our dinner (with Akiko) after work. Pasta Zanmai and Miam Miam for desserts ^^. I love the french toast but too bad we couldn't finish.

Secret Recipe new menu. Dad's Turkey drumstick. It was good so I took a picture ^^.

One of my lunch with Batchmates. Hokkaido Ichiba if i remember correctly.

Easter Brunch with my dearest Family!! At Grand Dorsett Subang ^^.

Average dinner at Tang Shifu with family.

MY NEW SPRING HAIR COLOR!!
It wasn't supposed to be like this, either the cut or color, trust me. It's much shorter than I wanted, but it's fine since can't turn back time lol. Had to go with a darker color due to time constraint and it's gonna fade anyway so dark pink brown wasn't so bad either.

Selfie in the car while going for lunch. Kinda like my new hair colour ^^.

Another selfie of mine to show my new hair colour. Hard to capture the colour on photos coz it's dark =___=.

Lunch with colleagues from different team at Touche, Section 17. LOVE the pesto pasta ^^.

Mother's day photo!

Free Mother's Day french toast at Wong Kok restaurant.

Bought a new pair of glasses for myself! Got a Gucci one coz it suits me the best, side frame design with the Gucci logo is kinda cool too~

 Me + new Gucci Specs.

Coffee Bean lunch: Green Tea Latte, Vegetable pie.

Batch mate lunch: Thai Laksa with green curry.

My Stylenanda collection! Am feeling really proud of this really hahhaa. After collecting all these while.

Trying out new hair products from Ma Cherie~ They smell sooo good! Fruity+Floral, way suitable for Spring ^^. Bought the shampoo, Treatment and Nutrient Spray to try them out. So far so good!

Mum designed a photobook for our Jogja trip last year. Full of nice pictures!

All the stuff bought during Estee Lauder Staff Sale! Am so so so sooooo sad I couldn't join the spree as I have class (why do i ALWAYS have class =___=). Luckily mum and sis did a great job buying all these!! Am already planning for next year's sale so who cares if i have class, will definitely go next time!

Origins "A Perfect World" my mum got for me from the sale.

Bobbi Brown, MAC cosmetics ^^.

Joined the Tiamo Shoe Selfie contest. Still considering if I should buy this pair of flats if I didn't win the contest. They look so good on me and sooo comfy!

Went to Port Dickson for several hours to attend (perform) for my company's annual dinner.
Didn't like the beach >< As what the people have always tell me, the beach is small and there's nothing really special about it.

But I think I did a great job taking these nice pictures though! :D

Our resort in Port Dickson - Thistle resort and spa.

My singing team! I think we did a great job for the night~ Am glad to have decided to join and met you guys ^^.

 

Had a Two-Days Lunch programme with Eunee!!! Am so happy we get to see each other for two consequtive days, it doesn't happen always lo... Had lunch at Subway + Dessert at Madeleine Cafe. I love my Hazelnut Latte so much! The Caramel Cheese Cake was average though..

Day 2 lunch with Eunee: Garage 51!!!! Have been wanting to try this since the longest time Ever. Thanks for trying out this place with me Eunee~

Free water lol.

Ok la. I have to admit it wasn't extremely great or something. It was just above average. I ordered this Maria Parloa - Diced mushroom, homemade hash potatoes, smoked cured salmon and free-range poached egg with Hollandaise. I find it good as it has all the ingredients I love. But it tasted normal, like I could predict how it will taste like since the beginning, nothing special. But i'm still happy to have visited this place though!

Eunee's Mushroom Croissant; which both she and I find not so worth to eat.

After lunch we had desserts at Coffeea Coffee ^^. Had this Chai Latte and Cherry cheese cake. The cheese cake was slightly better than the one in Madeleine, but the latte sucks.

Let's meet up to do more interesting stuff after my exams!!! I can't wait for Plate culture experience hehe~

Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Necklace!!! I've always wanted this, and so happen I saw this selling in Groupon. Next thing, I've owned this~

Looks sooo cute~ It matches my white blouses perfectly ^^ So spring looking hehe.

How it looks after sliding open.

 

My lunch few days ago with Nicole (one of my different team colleagues) at L-Table. I regret not knowing this place earlier!!! They have super good brunches :D ~~

 

 

Nicole's order (looked super delicious right??): Croque Madame - Layered chicken ham and grilled cheese in thick sandwich bread, baked with bechamel with an egg on top. I had a try and it tasted great! 

 

My order!! Salmon Eggs Benedict, lol no need to explain. The food here is better than the ones at Garage 51. Must try out more of their stuffs in the later days~

I'll end this lengthy post with my Skin Care preparation for Summer~~~ Trying out the super famous Cure Aqua Gel and B-liv products, wouldn't have gotten it without Sasa Summer Sales, really worth it with all the free samples ^^.

Looking forward for my Taobao+Bodyline shopping spree!!
