Sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board, Adult Playground (APG) is the world's FIRST and LARGEST outdoor adventure festival (for ages 18 and above) that brings together sports, music and food.
With 22 unique sporting activities (both wet and dry) in one venue, you can locals, expats, and tourists coming together for a full day of fun-filled activities!

Sporting Activities
Some of the activities that day will include:

Bubble Soccer - this activity shouldn't be unfamiliar as it has gained popularity recently! Form a team of 5 to 8 and challenge the opposing team by scoring as many goals as possible, while being covered in a ball (your legs are still free so you can run and bounce across the beach)!

Giant Water Slide:

Mega Bounce - ever dreamt of performing gravity-defying flips and turns? Try this! A bungee-assisted trampoline where you can leap 20 feet (8 metres) high and descend safely:

Jiamin and I tried it myself while hosting APG's Youtube video for Megabounce hehe. It was really FUNNNNNN (though scary for me initially)! Catch us on Adult Playground's Youtube channel for more too!:

Here's the highly-anticipated Jetpack (worth S$228, limited slots available)! Ever thought of flying? Well, now you can! The Jetpack harnesses the power of controlled water pressure to propel you into the air.
(Pssst! Find out how to win tickets by following us on our Instagram (@adultplaygroundsg) and Facebook page!):

Banana Rocker:

Speedminton - a fast-paced version of your classic Badminton, plus a hybrid shuttlecock-ball that can battle the outdoor wind and speed across faster than your conventional shuttlecock:

I had a chance to try it myself recently too! Catch me in action here:

Slacklining - similar to tightrope walking, except this uses nylon/ polyester webbing which allows stretching and bouncing. Attempt tricks and stunts on it if you dare!:

Gyrospin - this gets you spinning and spinning and spinning in different orientations - definitely not for the faint-hearted!:

Archery Tag -

Catch Jiamin and I battle each other out - Hunger Games style:

... amongst many others like Dodgeball, Dunk tank, Bossaball and Wheelchair Basketball! (For more information/FAQs, click HERE)

The BandsTo promote Singapore's local music scene and increase the exposure of local bands, the APG has also invited The Sam Willows, Jack & Rai, Gentle Bones, Still Sunrise and Gareth Fernandez to share their music on that day! Fans of theirs, be sure to head down to show them your support.

The VendorsAlso, what's a festival without food and refreshments? Attendees can expect local food vendors such as Popaganda, The Travelling C.O.W., Kerbside Gourmet and also APG's official whiskey sponsor, Monkey Shoulder!

1. With a focus on sustainable produce, slowcooked food and using "a ridiculous amount of herbs in our food to bring maximum nutrients and anti-oxidants to your food", Kerbside Gourmet/Kerby will be feeding the health-conscious crowd.

2. The Travelling C.O.W. is the 1st mobile food truck in Singapore. Renowned for their ramen burger, they are always on the hunt for the yummiest food to share with you, so I'm sure they will not disappoint at the APG!

3. Chill down on a hot day with Popaganda's ice pops! They are made from scratch with NO artificial sweeteners, flavouring or preservatives. Dairy-free and 100% vegetarian. I tried a few of their flavours the other day, and I really loved their Grape, Coconut and Strawberry Banana! :9

Are all these enough to entice you already? Wait no more. Get your tickers now!

There's also a Men's section so guys won't get left out while their girlfriends/wives shop hahaha:

What's so special about the ZALORA store is while you get to browse and try on the apparels there, you have to purchase them online through these terminals. This means you don't have to carry huge bags of clothes home because they will delivered straight to your house within 1-3 days! You can also choose to pay upfront after the parcel has reached your doorstep, which is a really good feature for people (like me) who don't own any debit/credit cards:

With Samantha, Vickii and Jo!:

Thanks for coming with me! Please don't look so sad:

Haven't been cafe hopping much anymore, but here was last Saturday's adventure @ Sin Lee Foods :)

Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice (S$5):

Salted Egg Yolk Sweet Potato Fries (S$11) - sweet potato fries with house made salted duck egg's sauce and crispy curry leaves. I don't usually order anything with sweet potato, but I thought I'd give this a try because of the salted egg yolk (can't do w/o!). The fries are served hot and crispy, the amount of salted egg yolk is just right - it doesn't overpower the taste of the sweet potato and we really liked it:

Soft Shell Burger (S$17) - seasoned + breaded soft shell crab and red aioli between toasted burger buns, served with house slaw and Russet potato fries. The bread is nicely toasted and fragrant, but the crab's a little bland (would prefer it saltier) for me:

Big Pig & Hen (S$18) - consists of pork bratwurst, spicy chorizo, eggs (scrambled/sunny side-up), bacon rashers and mushroom ragout on thick buttered toast. A typical breakfast set; tasty but nothing impressive:

Sin Lee's Fried Chicken & Waffles (S$21.90) - boneless chicken leg on iron waffles, served with house slaw and melted maple butter. The chicken is HUGE, with crispy skin and very very juicy + tender meat! It got a little salty towards the end though. The waffles are fluffy and light, and they have this sweet taste to it too which I liked:

I DO! I like to eat them plain or in a bowl of honey yogurt :9

I was really excited when I received 2 packets of granolas from Macho Moosely, a Singapore brand that bakes their granolas in a NEA Certified Kitchen and uses 100% natural ingredients (no preservatives or dairy!). Granolas are a healthy breakfast food/ snack choice as they contain some essential nutrients and keep you filling full at the same time.

"We specially bake each Macho Pack to-order in small batches – so you'll enjoy only the freshest crunch. We do not add artificial/pseudo-natural additives, preservatives, refined sugars, or any of those nasty stuff. What really makes us special is that we deliver great value! Our granola mixes are carefully crafted with wide variety of fruits, nuts, seeds and grains to specifically achieve super Brain, Brawn, Beauty and also Balance!"

All Macho Moosely packs are low in fat, are vegan and dairy free. Grains, seeds and nuts are also tossed in the mix (so if are allergic to nuts, this may not be suitable for you).

One of the packs I've received was the BALANCE Pack (S$12.90), which has all you need for a healthy lifestyle plus a wholesome boost! It brings you the best of Brain, Brawn, Beauty. High in Vitamin A and antioxidants, this pack is great for excellent skin and body. It also contains my favourite almonds and walnuts!

Ingredients: Rolled Oats (45%), Almonds (8%), Walnuts (8%), Apricots (6%), Sweet Potatoes (5%), Pumpkin (4%), Chia Seeds (2%), Millet (2%). Plus our delightful mix of Organic Golden Ground Flaxseeds, Olive Oil, Pure Honey, Brown Sugar, Sea Salt and Coconut Flakes (20%)

Next up is the BEAUTY pack (S$12.90), which has all you need for a radiant glow. I love this pack especially because of the berries which are really nice to chew on, and they are also packed with antioxidants and Vitamins C & E.
I don't really fancy the pumpkin tastes within though... but I guess that can be overlooked since they contain Vitamin A which is good for skin and eyesight hehe.

Ingredients: Rolled Oats (45%), Hazelnuts (8%), Cashews (8%), Cranberries (6%), Blueberries (5%), Pumpkin (4%), Pumpkin Seeds (2%), Millet (2%), Organic Golden Ground Flaxseeds, Olive Oil, Pure Honey, Brown Sugar, Sea Salt and Nutmeg (20%)

At the back of every pack is a "Best enjoyed by:" date stamp. Once the pack is opened, it is advisable to finish the contents up within a week:

All their packs are priced at S$12.90, which is a really reasonable and relatively cheap price (for such a huge bag) compared to those you get in cafes/supermarkets.

Thank you Macho Moosely for sending these yummies over! :)

Cafe Mocha (S$6.10) - pretty good, and I love how coffee here's served in relatively large cups!:

Mushroom & Bacon Penne (S$14.90) - pasta with mushrooms, bacon slices and asparagus. Overall this isn't too creamy (which is to my liking), but the bacon tastes really weird... it also has this super fatty + oily + gooey texture:

Eggs Benedict with Salmon (S$15.90) - 2 beautifully poached eggs on smoked salmon and toast:

Attended Clozette's Ambassador's Party @ Mu Parlour earlier this month. Thanks Cherie for inviting us! :D

It was an Alice in Wonderland/pastel colours themed party, which explains the pretty pink balloons (!!!). We were also seated according to the character cards we drew out from a bag. Mine was the Cheshire Cat!:

FOOD:

With Christy! I like how my table happened to have most of the VT girls (Ash, Christy, Shufeng) so it wasn't awkward at all hehe:

I've always had luck for Lucky Draws, but that day Sam had to join our table halfway through and change the fengshui!! There were 4 prizes in total, and 3 came from my table hahahah - Ash, Christy and Sam who snatched my 1st prize:

With the rest of the Ambassadors + the Clozette team:

PB & J French Toast (S$14) - brioche French toast stuffed with peanut butter & raspberry jam, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with Vanilla ice-cream and mixed berries compote. I love peanut butter anything, so I fancied this a lot! The toast is soft and fluffy, and the PB & J fillings are thick and generous.

A really popular dish here (usually sold out by 2pm!) but if I'm not wrong, this item has been taken off their menu recently and replaced by a Kaya Butter French Toast :'(

Artistry Crab Burger (S$20) - jumbo lump crab between artisanal squid ink burger buns, served with sweet onion, mayonnaise, tomato, rockets and a choice of Cajun/truffle fries. We ordered 2 sets of this to try the 2 different types of fries; I preferred the Cajun fries as the seasoning is more flavourful. The squid ink buns are light and crisp, while the thick fried patty filled with crab meat shreds is really moist and juicy:

Now I know why friends always tell me I look very serious when taking photos of food hahaha (thanks Alain for the shots!):

Headed to Tian Kee & Co. after that for some desserts!:

Iced Pink Lady (S$6) - rose syrup in fresh milk; this basically tastes like a milkier version of Bandung:

Yuan Yang Cheesecake (S$6.50) - a combination of espresso and Hong Kong-styled milk tea, this cheesecake is dense, moist and not too sweet:

Milo Dinosaur Cheesecake (S$6.50) - who used to eat Milo powder from the tin can when they were younger?? Hahaha I did (and choked on it and never dared to do it again)! This cake feels a lot like eating it, along with the 'stickiness'. I wouldn't mind having a thicker layer of the milo powder though hehe:

Bring your experiences on the mat off into your daily life. Take control & empower yourself through consistent yoga practice. Find tranquility, peace & courage here."
Exactly 2 months ago, I was invited by Vera to try out an outdoor yoga practice session under her Yoga for Strength & Empowerment classes. Not only does outdoor yoga increase energy, feelings of revitalization and positive engagement, it also reduces tension, confusion, anger and depression. It was my first time attending a proper yoga lesson and I found it pretty challenging, but I thoroughly enjoyed the 1 hour there! :)

Every session, Vera concentrates on different qualities (e.g., arm strength, steadiness), and that evening the focus was on Strength and Balance:

Trying very hard not to fall here haha:

Releasing all the stress from that day, and feeling the calmness towards the end of the session:

With Vera! Thanks for having me!:

Vera aims to combine her love for physical fitness with the awareness of the importance of emotional/mental wellness. Beginners are definitely welcomed, and lessons are catered to individual physical needs.
I like how her classes are small such that more attention can be given to each person, and certain things can be explained more in details in the given time frame :)

Location: Open area near Marina Bay City Gallery (about 400m from Marina Bay MRT station/Raffles Place MRT station)
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Fees: Donation basis! :)

And exactly a month ago was Windy's birthday! He wanted something handmade, so I did an Exploding Love Box (via Youtube) for him:

Planned to surprise him at his house at 12am after my dance rehearsals, but he happily went for supper after his own rehearsals >:( So I waited from 11.40pm till 1.30am around his estate before he finally got home. Entered the living room (thanks to Wilson who let me in!) while he showered, and he didn't even see me for a good 1-2 minutes after coming out hahaha.

Yes, that's us hahaha:

Skinny Wings & Truffle Fries (S$6.90) - wing sticks marinated in house spices, deep fried till crispy + shoestring fries tossed in truffle oil. Don't be deceived by the plain looks of the fries because they are actually quite truffle-y, and even more so with the Aioli dip! :9 The skinny wings are really delicious too:

Seafood Aglio Olio (S$14.90) - spaghetti with mixed seafood (prawns, mussels and squid) in chilli oil, seafood broth, garlic, chilli, crispy fish flakes and chopped parsley. Having fish flakes on pasta was a new experience for me but I actually liked the overall taste! It'd be better if the pasta portion was bigger though:

Crispy Duck Leg Confit (S$17.90) - with fried baby potatoes (these are crunchy and yummy), chopped salad and orange brown sauce. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy, unlike most duck confits I've tried:

Bangkok Toast (S$10.90) - cinnamon thick sweet brioche toast with Matcha Green Tea custard, served with Thai milk tea ice-cream. I looooved the ice-cream as it tastes exactly like Thai milk tea, but Ruby and I both thought the 'froth' on top feels a little weird. We didn't exactly fancy the texture of the toast either:

Further back in August @ Dancing Crab with my parents for dinner:

There are 3 types of Lemonade on the menu, and because there were 3 of us, we decided to give each a try - Fizzy Lemonade (S$4), Lavender Lemonade (S$4) and Pink Thyme Lemonade (S$4). Pink Thyme's a little too sweet, Fizzy Lemonade's quite sour while Lavender's just nice:

Garlic Soy Sauce Wings (S$9) - thumbs-up for these crispy and sinful wings! We gobbled them down in minutes:

Beer Batter Cajun Calamari (S$9):

Crab Cakes (S$13) - crisp on the outside and packed with hot, juicy crab meat within:

Lobster Roll (S$23) - served with a side of Cajun fries which are salty and addictive. The bread is fragrantly-toasted and the lobster chunks are generous. However it isn't as fantastic as I've expected it to be hahaha:

Combo Bag #01 (S$80) - Sri Lankan Crab, 250g mussels, 300g prawns, sausages, corn and potatoes. We chose the Dancing Crab signature sauce (with Mild spiciness) which is spicy, peppery and finger-licking good!
I love how these were dumped onto our table (instead of serving them in a plastic bag like at The Cajun Kings) because it makes eating and digging for the different items so much easier. It somehow also makes the food look more appealing laid out in front of your eyes:

Some of the prawns are a little tiny, but very very fresh and yummy:

Ordered some Raw Oysters (S$18) while we were about to finish everything because I couldn't resist the temptation anymore hahaha. So glad I got these because these are one of the freshest and juiciest and fattest oysters I've ever eaten! I won't mind going back again just for them:

Friends have asked if I prefer Dancing Crab or The Cajun Kings, and I can safely say Dancing Crab! Not just because it's cheaper (approx. S$20 less per pax), but the quality of their food + restaurant ambience are so much better too.

Both of these flavours has been incorporated permanently into their menu.

I was invited down to celebrate this occasion on the Singapore River Cruise earlier in August, and I love how the team has decorated the boat with balloons and colours to suit Pezzo's carnival/circus theme!

Singa Laksa (S$4.90 per slice / S$24.90 per full pan) - this authentic laksa-tasting pizza consists of fresh crab meat, squid, tuna, prawn and taupok (!!!). Laksa leaves are also added to enhance the flavour. The toppings are generous and I really love this seafood combination a lot. I even da bao-ed a few boxes back for my family and friends to try hahaha:

Chicken Rendang (S$4.50 per slice/ S$24.90 per full pan) - with red capsicum, green capsicum, white onions, oregano chicken and Rendang paste. Supposedly spicier than Singa Laksa, but I found it otherwise. There could be more Rendang paste too in my opinion:

It was my 1st time trying Pezzo's pizzas and I was really impressed!:

Thanks Pezzo and Jaslyn for the invite :)

And 2 weeks ago, I was invited to Swiss label Daylong's event held at Halia @ Botanic Gardens. Daylong, brought to you by the expert dermatological company Galderma, has set foot in Singapore with their range of sun protection products suited for everyday use.

For 24 years of my life, I have never cared about applying sunblock because I hate the feeling of a layer of 'something' on my face (which also explains why I dislike makeup so much). But after hearing the talk that day on the risks and harmful effects of the sun, I have been trying to incorporate sunblock into my skincare routine!

Daylong provides daily sun protection for diverse skin types and conditions with their 6 new products - Daylong SPF30 Spray-Lotion, Daylong SPF30 Gelfluid, Daylong SPF50+ Gel, Daylong Kids SPF30 Cream, Daylong Kids SPF50+ Lotion and Daylong After Sun Repair.

These products are also designed without additional preservatives or perfumes, are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested.

What was for lunch!:

Ginger Jive - an ice blend of fresh ginger, fruit punch, orange and honey. Not a fan of ginger but this was very very refreshing I couldn't stop drinking it. The ginger taste was mild, but enough to enhance the flavour of the drink:

Caesar Salad - with shaved parmesan and 62 degrees Celcius hen's egg. I'm never a fan of Caesar salads because of the cheese (ugghh), but I attempted a few pieces of veggies just to be polite lol. Wanted the egg really badly but there wasn't a spoon and I wanted to eat it whole.... so too bad:

Roasted Asian Spice Soy-braised Kampung 1/2 Chicken - with house salad, plum salt and calamansi. This was really yummy it only took me awhile to devour this, especially with the plum salt.
I have no idea why my plate was so wet though (the rest of the ppl at my table had okay plates) so everything felt a little moist and a portion of the salt has already dissolved :(

Frozen Ginger Nougat Parfait - ginger nougat, spiced pineapple sauce, ginger crumble and crispy crackers. I've been to Halia about 2 years ago and I remembered loving their chocolate dessert a lot, and the same goes for this! It felt a lot like eating really cold Macadamia Nut ice-cream with the bits within, except this was ginger-flavoured. It was fluffy and crunchy at the same time:

Thank you Daphne and Daylong for having me! :)

Daylong offers all-around protection for ultraviolet radiation as well as infrared radiations.

It is easy to apply and is light, unscented, fast-absorbing and very water-resistant. Also contains aloe vera and Vitamin E which are beneficial for our skin.

Daily use of sunscreen slows down the ageing process and results in skin that is more resilient, smoother, more elastic and less wrinkled. It also significantly reduces the risk of skin cancers.

Daylong is available in selected pharmacies (at an average price of S$35) from mid-September 2014.Wenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-57033582129955028092014-09-02T13:18:00.000+08:002014-09-02T13:18:00.303+08:00theWYLDshop x Inverted Edge showroom | KLARITY product launchThis is probably one of the most overdued posts ever hahaha.

On 24th July, I was invited down to theWYLDshop's pop-up Monochrome display at the Inverted Edge showroom, an installation that features new brands and collections:

The dessert spread!:

Cupcakes from Butter Studio:

Dark chocolate brownies and assorted meringues from Strictly Pastry @ Joo Chiat Road. I loved the fluffy meringue with passionfruit mousse, but the brownie was a little too sweet for us:

With some of the girls at the event!:

Because theWYLDshop event calls for a wild pose hahaha:

Thanks Kara for the invite! :)

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

And backdate to 26th June, where I attended KLARITY's product launch @ Salt Grill & Sky Bar:

KLARITY launched its 2 new product lines that afternoon - the V-line Series and Miracle White Series - which consist of an array of innovative products that are paraben-free and halal-certified.

CC Miracle White Lotion 100ml (S$49) - this is enriched with diamond powder and wild rosehip extract, giving you an instant glow after application. Also with an SPF30/PA++, it helps to protect your skin from harmful UV rays:

Lasertox V-line Shape Up (S$59) - an intensive one-week treatment for a contoured jaw line without any form of surgery, by accelerating the reduction of fat and double chin:

With special guest Mediacorp actress Julie Tan, who gave us more information about the products:

And finally for the long-awaited lunch!

Sashimi of kingfish, ginger, eschalots and goats - most of the people at my table disliked the taste of this because it was too fishy, but I loved it a lot! So tempted to finish their share up when they offered it to me hahaha (but I didn't):

Grilled Baramudi - with pea puree, fennel, apple and elderflower dressing. The meat was soft and tender and I preferred this to my choice of baby chicken:

Portuguese Baby Chicken - with chargrilled corn, chillies, chorizo and olives:

I thought that their Main dishes were nothing special, but the Chocolate Truffle won me over! So crunchy and yummy and chocolatey. The gold shimmers made things a little unglam though hahaha:

Table 1 with Julie Tan:

With Lydia and Kat!:

Adel, Shufeng and Steph:

Thanks Natalie and KLARITY for having me! :)

Got my hair cut and treated at Black Hair Salon after the event. Love how it looked under the bright sun!

As ironic as it sounds, I think the action of waiting is one of the most tiring things to do - especially when no one has any idea when the end will come.

So am I wrong for feeling upset?Wenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-14224481356652541222014-08-22T23:08:00.000+08:002014-09-01T16:07:39.895+08:00Curbside Cafe @ Biopolis Road | Baker & Cook Had brunch one Sunday with my parents @ Curbside Cafe:

Cafe Mocha (S$5):

Corned Beef Hash (S$12) - served with poached eggs and toasted sourdough. The corned beef hash portion is generous - too generous in fact hahaha there's actually a whole lot buried beneath the eggs. There's too few sourdough to complement it so it gets quite salty after awhile. Still good though!:

Bacon Corn Tomato (S$12) - this dish is basically scrambled eggs with bacon, corn and tomatoes. Very tasty, but there could be more bacon pieces. We also think that given the simplicity of this dish, it isn't worth paying S$12 for:

French Toast (S$14) - 3 slices of french toasts with orange yogurt and seasonal berries. My parents and I liked this - the toasts are soft and slightly chewy, overall the dish is sweet but contains a little tanginess from the orange peels:

RVCB (S$10) - homemade Red Velvet Cheesecake / chocolate brownie. I love this combination as it is really unique! The brownie is moist and dense, and the Madagascar Vanilla Bean ice-cream that comes with it is really yummy too:

Dressed for National Day but I was a day late hahaha:

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

Treated my Mum to lunch at Baker & Cook @ Chip Bee Gardens the other day! Have always wanted to try this but somehow ended elsewhere everytime haha.

Cafe Latte (S$5):

Eggs Benedict with Salmon (S$19) - two poached eggs served on toasted B&C Pain Miche Bread, topped with hollandaise sauce + a hint of balsamic glaze + chilli oil. I've never eaten a 'spicy' eggs benedict before, and this was a first! Took me some time to get used to the peppery sauce but I grew to like it after awhile. The bread's a little hard for my liking but my Mum loved it a lot so she ate the other piece hahah:

Pancakes Stack (S$17) - 3 slices of pancakes served with a compote of caramelized apples, Greek yoghurt and lashings of homemade toffee sauce. The pancakes are a little bland and dry, but the apples make up for them as they are really moist, crunchy and sweet. The sauce doesn't really taste like toffee to me though, and the yogurt's pretty redundant imo hahaha:

French Toast (S$16) - new on the menu: thick toasts served with almond, berries, lemon curd, mascarpone and maple syrup. My Mum and I loved this! The toasts are soft and fluffy, and I like how the almonds go with them. The lemon curd is soooooo good too. Oh, and Baker & Cook's raspberry jam is to-die-for as well!! We couldn't stop taking spoons after spoons of it:

"PAC's core business covers the audio and video industries with a diversified range of products encompassing DVD-related products, home stereo systems, speakers, car audio visual and DJ equipment."
They have recently released 4 headphones in the all-new Superior Club Sound range, and I was happy to be sponsored the SE-MX9 model which produces excellent sound quality. The ear plates are built in solid aluminium and are beautifully finished in Bright Silver (which I chose), Indigo Black or Bright Copper:

To ensure the SE-MX9 produces the best possible club sound, it is equipped with 2 newly designed, high-performance 50 mm drivers. The technology of these drivers is largely based on those of the legendary HDJ-2000 high-end headphones that are intensively used by famous DJs worldwide.

With this, I can indulge in my own musical world and block out the rest of the sounds around me.

The stylish headband shape is also especially designed to maximize surface contact with the head. It feels really comfortable and 'cushiony' on me, and I can even dance around freely with it:

The SE-MX9 is currently retailing at S$399. The included accessories are: a carrying case, a second 2 metres cable for home use, an in-flight adapter and a 6.3 mm full size jack adapter.

Thank you Weiying and Pioneer for this pair headphones! :)

I'm finally down to the last installation of my Taiwan trip with the #brunchdategirls!

Day 5
We hired a driver for the whole of this day (for NT$4000 / S$170) because we wanted to travel to a number of places + the distance between each is really far.

Here's presenting to you our ever-so-friendly, helpful, caring, cheery and passionate 高先生,Mr Gao! He picked us up from our apartment and drove us out for breakfast before setting off:

Remember how I mentioned that not all Yong He stalls in Taipei are authentic?? Here's an example of a 'fake' one (Mr Gao didn't choose this, we did), almost everything sold here was not up to standards at all :(
Initially I was told there wasn't any 油条 left, but after some 'discussion' with the boss, the lady boss told me they were available already and I ended up eating a stiff and lao hong one -.-

Also take a look at this burnt 烧饼 which was really hard and tasteless. Bad breakfast experience boo:

Anyway after a long 40-minute journey, here we were at our 1st destination: 野柳 / Yeh Liu Geopark!

Can you spot the Fairy's slipper?? ;)

It was scorching hot the whole time we were at Yeh Liu, but once we were out and on the way to our next destination, it started pouring crazily :(
Fortunately some of the areas in 九份 / Jiu Fen are sheltered, so we could at least walk around most of the food stalls conveniently:

Our first lunch stop, beef noodles! We were famished then because we didn't eat much for breakfast. Thankfully the beef noodles were really yummy!! :

Didn't exactly like these 小菜 (NT$30 / S$1.30) though because of the sauce. Tasted sour and weird to me:

Matcha lava cupcake:

Ice-cream Dorayaki! These were really good, especially with the Taro ice-cream even though I hate yam:

Yay, and my favourite Peanut-icecream Wrap (NT$40 / S$1.70)! The ones sold here were so much better than those from Shilin Night Market. So good we bought another one on our way back hehe. Omg I'm missing it already while typing this. Payment here is self-service, so you have to drop your money and get the change yourself:

Can't remember what these were. Mushrooms?:

Came across this shop which sells a lot of cat-related items like postcards and notebooks. They even have a housecat hehe so cute:

I didn't know they photobombed me >:(

Heard that the QQ yam balls from 阿柑姨芋园 were worth a try and they really weren't too bad:

Entered this narrow tunnel (to get some temporary shelter) and we were told that this was how people in the olden days get to their neighbours' houses:

After that, Mr Gao brought us to this old cinema to check out its history:

"Do you know how people used to advertise their shows? Here, take these." Mr Gao impromptu-ly passed these stuff to us to take a photo with. He even directed us on our actions hahaha so cute:

On the way to 十份 / Shifen, we stopped our vehicle by these mini waterfalls. It was still pouring but we insisted on getting down to take some photos since it would be a waste if we didn't:

And this was the highlight of the whole trip!! The rain reduced to a drizzle and here we were at the railway tracks to 放天灯 / release our Sky Lantern! :D Initially Mr Gao said we there was a possibility of us not being able to do it because the rainwater will just dampen the lantern, but we were very persistent to go there and try our luck:

Saw a sky lantern finally being released by another group of people. Our determination to wait paid off haha:

Apparently different colours of the sky lantern have different representations (I didn't know this at first and ended up writing my 1st wish on the wrong side hahaha oops):

Done with writing!! :D Read our wishes below hahahah:

We were ready!! It was such and exciting yet nervous moment hahaha:

Wanted to set some fireworks after that but we couldn't decide between the big & small ones (+we were scaredy-cats hahaha), so Bev became the guinea pig and tried the big one hehe:

Headed over to the hanging bridge nearby to set them! We were told to hold the stick firmly and not move when the pressure forces the sparks out. It was actually quite scary hahaha. Each stick releases about 8 shots.

It started raining again just before that and we only brought along 1 pathetic umbrella -.- So we did everything in the rain with the wind blowing at us hahaha what an experience omg:

Look at us hahahaha the 落汤鸡s:

Mr Gao dropped us off for dinner at 胡须张 / Hu Xu Zhang (he didn't want to join us for dinner), and here's a final selfie with him before he left! :(
For those who are interested in engaging him, you can contact his cousin Mr. 郑金聪 at 0917-807158 / email@example.com to arrange! :)

We were really really hungry by then so everything tasted really good to us! We ordered additional 卤肉 because we couldn't get enough of it. We even bought packets of it home:

Our Raohe Night Market plans were cancelled because it was STILL raining after we were done with dinner, so we decided to have supper at the authentic Yong He near our apartment haha:

It was really a bad day to rain... but glad everyone was still so sporting! :)

Day 6
Our last day in Taiwan! :( Woke up early for brunch at Melange Cafe @ ZhongShan station:

The restaurant is huge, taking up about 3-4 units and each unit is separated from another:

Iced Fruit Tea (NT$160 / S$6.80) - this was basically Lipton tea with fruits, we didn't think there was anything special to it but almost every table ordered this. It was too sweet for our liking too:

The Matcha Latte was really yummy! The Hot Chocolate was so thick and chocolatey too:

Macarons (NT$50 / S$2 each):

Smoked Duck Salad with Orange Dressing (NT$200 / S$8.50) - the smoked duck pieces were thick and juicy, I loved the chewiness too:

Smoked Chicken & Ham Pizza (NT$140 / S$6):

Borkshire Ham Sandwich:

Went back to Ximending after that to settle all our undone businesses!

Yan and I were craving 阿宗面线 badly hahaha:

I didn't get to eat Tamsui's Jumbo ice-cream on our 1st day because I thought it could be bought anywhere :( Apparently not. Settled for Ximending's smaller version:

A disappointment because everything was mostly ice - so is the Jumbo one from Tamsui, I heard. This made me feel better.

This bottled milk tea from 7-11 was damn nice! There's White Coffee flavour too:

Yanning and I shared a chocolate ice-cream cone from 7-11 and it was soooo thick and delicious. No wonder the queues for the ice-cream at 7-11 were mostly pretty long:

Took the night flight back to SG with all our goodies!

Till the next trip together! :DWenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-4668218253500556272014-07-25T01:47:00.000+08:002014-08-29T02:39:18.678+08:006D5N Taiwan (19th - 24th June 2014): Day 1 & 2(Read on Day 3 & 4 HERE / Day 5 & 6 HERE)

Procrastinated for the longest time to get this post up because of the number of photos (1000++??) I had to sort through hahaha. Anyway, here it is - part 1 of the #brunchdategirls' 1st ever trip together to Taiwan! Many many more trips to come I hope :D

(Oh and I forgot to mention that I sprained my ankle - I'm really so clumsy I know - just a few days before the trip, so I was still limping on Day 1 & 2 it was horrible.)

Day 1:
Touched down at Taipei airport at about 1pm, got our 7-day unlimited Wifi cards settled (yes, we're social media junkies) and we had a mini-van that transported us to our apartment! We rented our place from the AirBnb app, and if you're interested, it is located at 忠孝东路五段 236巷, a convenient 5-10 minutes walk to Yong Chun and Xiang Shan train stations:

The ultra friendly security guard that greeted us every morning (there's another who said Goodnight to us whenever we reached back to the apartment at night)! People in Taiwan are generally verrry passionate + friendly + helpful and it really made our days there a lot easier/better:

Our 2-storey house consisted of a living room, a toilet, 2 sofa beds and a kitchen area on the 1st floor, 2 bedrooms (each with a queen-sized bed) and a bathroom on the 2nd floor:

First things first: TO LOOK FOR FOOD!! We were starving by the time we were done settling everything.

We bought the EasyCard / 悠游卡 that works like an EZ-link card. I topped up ~NT$700 / S$30 which lasted me throughout the whole 6D5N with a refundable ~NT$180 left at the end:

Our 1st food stop: 金锋卤肉饭 / Jin Feng lu rou fan @ Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall station! Spot it across the street:

Not sure if I was too hungry, but all these tasted really really good to me! :9

Headed to Tamsui Old Street / Dan Shui Lao Jie / 淡水老街 (located @ Tamsui station) after that for some shopping + street food:

Didn't like the Salty Crisp Chicken / 盐酥鸡 from this stall:

The Tie Dan (NTS$10/stick) sold here wasn't good either. They weren't hard enough and had a weird taste. We gave up and bought the packeted ones from an opposite store which had so many flavours we bought quite a few back to SG!:

Spongebob & friends Egglets (NT$45/6 pieces):

Too cute omg hahaha it was heartbreaking biting into them. Mine was Patrick!:

Deep-fried Corn with seaweed powder topping (NT$40 / S$1.70)! This was really yummy but vveerrrryy oily. After seeing how much oil it was submerged into for a good 10 minutes, I was a little hesitant to eat it hahaha:

Took a ferry for NT$100 / S$4.50 per person (payable using the EasyCard) for a round trip to the Fisherman's Wharf / Lovers' Bridge, which is known for its pretty lights and a romantic place for lovers:

Stopped by for some shooting games hahaha. Love how they have random pasar malam game stations within all their night markets:

At around 10pm, we went to Shilin Night Market for more food! (Note that it is located at Jian Tan station, NOT Shilin station.)

Tried their famous Prince Cheese Potatoes! The queue was sooooo long:

We had Club & Cheese (NT$70 / S$3) which was a mix of everything. So so so sinfully good:

The Chicken Cutlet here is pretty yummy but I don't like how the cutlets sold here in Taiwan have many soft bones which makes eating really hard. Yan and Cand loved this a lot though:

Jumbo Sausage King (NT$45 / S$2)!:

Fresh Fresh Milk (NT$20 / S$0.85) / Zha Xian Nai which I hated because I hate fresh milk. Tasted really yucky to me hahaha:

We also had 大腸包小腸 where a pork sausage is being wrapped in a glutinous rice sausage (bottom left). I liked this a lot!:

Smelly Tofu (NT$45 / S$2)! I first tried smelly tofu in Hong Kong and it really isn't smelly at all when you eat it. It only stinks horribly when you pass by the stall:

And Bev and I shared some Duck's Tongue:

One of my favourite snacks sold in Taiwan - ice-cream with crushed peanuts wrapped in popiah skin. I didn't like this version because of the parsley added, the one we had at Wu Fen Pu (Day 5) tasted so much better:

We also had an Onion Pancake, Squid Balls and Fried Mixed Mushrooms! Ate to our hearts' content and we shopped till about 1am before the stores closed.

Day 2
The next morning we had breakfast at 123 Xiao Chi which was of walking distance from our apartment:

Meesua, Tempura and Glutinous Oil Rice:

The lady kindly stopped and let us play/ take photos with her dog:

When she overheard that we were looking for directions to the nearest station + Yong He Dou Jiang, she very actively explained to us and even WALKED us to the restaurant. So thankful!!!:

Yan, Shu, Cand and I swore to try Taiwan's Yong He Dou Jiang after trying Singapore's version, which we thought was already pretty good. There are a lot of Yong He Dou Jiang outlets in Taiwan, but many of them are unauthentic and we were told to be careful when going to one. This outlet here at Yong Chun station is authentic! It's kinda sad that they don't sell beancurds here though:

We bought their Jian Bing and Onion Pancake which we both loved:

Took the High-speed train to Taichung after that for some theme park fun! The train journey took about 50-60 minutes, but the best thing is you can get to EAT on their high-speed trains hahaha and so we finished whatever was left from Yong He:

Changed to Bus 155 which sent us straight to the theme park, and this took another 60-75 minutes:

After a long 2.5 hours of ride, here we were at Lihpao Park!:

It started raining pretty heavily while we were approaching the entrance so we took shelter (and played lolol) at a mini kids' arcade nearby. The rain didn't last long, but some outdoors rides were suspended for awhile before operating again:

Candice and Yanning were the only 2 braves souls to conquer all the rides:

And this was the ride we procrastinated the longest time to get onto, firstly because we didn't want to get too wet, and also because the steepness scared some of us (like me haha). But somehow I felt an adrenaline rush so I said YES eventually and off I went with Yan, Cand and Bev! There were 2 drops in total: one with the car facing backwards (!!!) but lucky it was a short drop, and the 2nd one shown below:

Here's us waving to Jo and Shu, with me acting all brave while the next moment I screamed non-stop as the car proceeded up the slope slowly. Shu said she could hear my voice even when the car could not be seen hahaahahaha. And Candice claimed I was screaming nonsense + I was "too high-pitched" she couldn't make out what I was saying:

Doooowwn we go! Take a look at the close-up hahahah I forced Yan to intertwine our arms so I'd feel safer.:

I was so proud of myself! :D

Candice and Yan took this after that so they could be air-dried hahaha:

GRAVITY MAX! What we actually came here for, but only Cand, Bev and Yan dared to try hahahah:

Look at that vertical drooooop:

We took this too and err... it was scary for me cos I'm afraid of heights. Candice kept telling me: "Open your eyes!!! I can see the ferries wheel from here! .... The roller coaster is just beside!! Open your eyes!!" HAHAHAHA:

Do not underestimate this mini roller coaster that is similar to the one in USS. I think the steep turns and drops are really scary. I was so glad when the ride was over (I had my eyes closed throughout again hahaah) and was about to get out when some guy seated at the front decided to tell the staff: "One more round!!" and off she let us go again OMG:

The Ferris Wheel was under repair :(

And this was a very failed selfie with it hahahah:

Carousel! Shuwei was so excited. We took the one with the horses as this wasn't in operation either:

Hungry after a long day of screaming and laughing:

Miniature pig?? Err not at all:

Bought some mini croissants to eat on the high-speed train back!

After all the young-at-heart activities in the afternoon, it was time for a more matured night hahaha. By the time we bus-ed and train-ed back to Taipei it was already pretty late, we had to cancel our dinner plans at a cafe too :( Rested in our apartment for a while and we cabbed to Luxy Night Club at around 1am:

Went back to our place earlier with Yanning because I really am not a party person. Forced her to help me take some OOTDs hahah:

So this was Day 1 & 2! Wanted to add in Day 3 here as well, but there are just too many photos and I've already spent a week on this post hahaha. Till the next!~Wenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-22635940198917627682014-08-10T14:00:00.000+08:002014-08-29T02:37:41.823+08:006D5N Taiwan (19th - 24th June 2014): Day 3 & 4(Read on Day 1 & 2 HERE / Day 5 & 6 HERE)

Day 3:
Breakfast the next day was at San Yuan / 三源 located at ATT4FUN, which was of walking distance from our apartment:

Stir-fried Cabbage (NT$220 / S$9) - a little oily, but very crunchy and sweet:

Salted Egg Yolk Pork Ribs (NT$320 / S$13.50) - I love anything with salted egg yolk so these worked really well for me. They were very crispy on the outside and tender inside!:

Prawn Rolls (NT$320 / S$13.50) - can't remember how these tasted like, I guess they were okay but the mayo spoilt everything:

Signature Pork Xiao Long Bao (NT$120 / S$5) - we didn't quite like these for some reason... they didn't taste significantly better than the ones sold in SG. BUT THEY WERE SO CHEAP!:

Handmade Porcupine Mantou (NT$100 /S$4) - we ordered this only because it looked cute (I even added eyes for it! Hehehe). The skin was too thick imo and it dried up + hardened pretty quickly. Pretty much tasteless too:

Steamed Mini Chocolate Lava Buns (NT$264 / S$11) - chocolate desserts are always a good idea, and these didn't disappoint! Yum yum. A little expensive for its size though:

Our billed totalled up to NT$1654 which is only about S$70.

Went off for some desserts after that at Hello Kitty Kitchen & Dining @ Zhongxiao Fuxing station. Reservations are needed in advance (we called about 3 days prior to visit) because it is always verrry crowded:

The cafe interior is overloaded with cuteness!:

Most cafes in Taiwan require a minimum spending per pax, and here we were required to spend a mininum of NT$300 / S$12.50 per pax (excluding drinks). We were also limited to a dining time of 1.5 hours:

Kitty Oreo Cheese Pie (NT$300 / S$12.50):

Kitty Golden Chocolate (NT$380 / S$16):

Kitty German Pudding (NT$340 / S$14.50)

Tiramisu (NT$300 / S$12.50):

Kitty Brulee (NT$300 / S$12.50):

Decided to have an advanced birthday surprise/celebration here for Bev! Yay:

We all thought that the desserts tasted below average (maybe except the Kitty Brulee and Tiramisu), even though they looked really cute and yummy:

Lo and behold, this is actually the toilet in the cafe (2nd level)! Too pretty:

It started raining heavily when we were about to leave the cafe... don't you just hate it when it keeps raining on your trip? It is really so troublesome to carry an umbrella around and you can't enjoy everything to the fullest :(
Anyway we headed to Xi Men Ding / 西门町 @ Ximen station for shopping + more food!:

Ordered some Chicken Cutlet and Squid Ink Tempura from this 1973 香香鸡 stall. I really loved the tempura! So tasty and chewy on the inside:

The staff even gave us a Fried Mushroom to try just because Yanning asked if it was good. How nice of him!:

The famous Ay-Chung Mee Sua / 阿宗面线! Yanning and I practically gobbled down the large-sized bowl hahaha:

Some of us were really hungry again/still hungry hahaha so we stopped for some food at 天天利:

Their 卤肉饭 tasted normal, not as great as the one we've had on our 1st day:

The Oyster Omelette / 蚵仔煎 was so disappointing as well we didn't finish it. The oyster omelettes in Taipei probably don't suit our tastes:

We left Xi Men Ding with a lot of undone business, so we came back on the last day to finish up whatever we wanted to do.

Headed to Shi-Da Night Market located @ Taipei Power Building station, but along the way we saw this bao shop, 永丰盛 , with a really long queue. My friend told me the meat buns in TW are a must-try so we got that + a peanut bun:

The meat bun was soooo juicy:

Shi-Da Night Market / 師大夜市:

Heard the food here at this 大台北平價滷味 stall is another must-order in Taiwan so we did! Only planned to have yi dian dian (a little) but we ended up ordering a whole lot hahahha okay what's new:

Went back to Shilin Night Market because we were unsatisfied with the shopping done at Shi-Da hahaha. Here's our ice-cream from 7-11! FYI, their 7-11 sells really awesome soft-serves:

Day 4:
Had brunch at Coffee Alley / 咖啡弄 @ ATT4FUN first thing the next morning! Love how ATT4FUN is of walking distance from our apartment:

Must try their Salted Caramel Latte! Very very rich and thick, but can get a little too sweet:

Mustard Bacon Cheese Sandwich:

Toast Skagen Shrimp Salad with Potato - one of our favourite dishes that day! It looks like a poached egg sitting atop the bread but they were actually shrimps buried under chilled salad dressing. So so yummy:

Tuna Curry Ciabatta Sandwich - the bread was soft and the tuna filling was so generous. The curry flavour was really strong as well:

Loin Cheese Croissants Sandwich - didn't really try this because... not my kinda cheese lol:

Waffle with Fresh Strawberry, Ice Cream and Custard - we didn't fancy the type of waffles sold in Taiwan as they are too soft and airy, not crispy at all:

Went to Wu Fen Pu / 五分埔 hoping to do some shopping but the prices there are so much steeper + the fashion doesn't really suit our tastes.
While we were over there we heard so many consecutive gun shot sounds I was so scared, but none of the locals reacted to it at all so we pretended everything was fine as well hahaha. We only found out the next day that those were made by 'fireworks' which we got to set ourselves on Day 5!

Anyway it was almost a whole day of rain again!

Didn't stay at Wu Fen Pu for long, we made our way to Dance Soul to attend a 5.50pm Street Jazz beginners' class! Was looking forward to this because I've always hoped to try out dance classes overseas. Wanted to try their Jazz class as well but it couldn't fit into our itinerary:

With our instructor, 阿帮! Thanks for the challenging and fun class! :D It wasn't exactly what we've expected for a beginners' lesson hahaha:

Dinner after that at Taipei Milk King / 台北牛乳大王 was a disappointment. It wasn't our plans to head here but we were starving after a whole day of shopping + dancing, and the KTV buffet we wanted to go to had some miscommunications with us, so this was the nearest alternative:

In Mandarin,
Bev: "Do you have Lemon Tea?"
Server: "Yes, we have Lemon Juice."
Bev: "Err, no. Lemon TEA."
Server: "Yah, it's Lemon Juice."

We were doubtful but decided to trust him because perhaps they call it 柠檬汁 there for some reason instead of 柠檬茶. In the end they really served us lemon juice instead of lemon tea -.- And the juice blend that I chose was sour instead of sweet too:

Only their Seafood Baked Rice was pretty good!:

Ended the day with some shaved ice desserts at San Xiong Mei / 三兄妹 @ Xi Men Ding, and they were pretty impressive:

Mango Shaved Ice (NT$130 / S$5.50):

Matcha Shaved Ice (NT$100 / S$4) - this supposedly comes with Azuki beans, but we changed them to strawberries!:

Also had these Bite-sized Sausages (NT$35 / S$1.50) which were so horribly salty :(

I loooove mooncakes, especially traditional ones with a salted eggyolk within. It is also the time where little kids carry lanterns in the park (aww... I miss those days! Do they still do it anymore??) and where families gather around to celebrate.

The kind people of Swensen's recently gifted me with a box of their snowskin ice-cream mooncakes! Besides the all-time favourite flavours like Sticky Chewy Chocolate and Durian Royale, Swensen's has also introduced 3 new flavours - Queen of Earl Grey, Pink Guava Romance and Mango Fantasy:

Top-left: Queen of Earl Grey - a medley of Earl Grey ice-cream infused with flavorful almond bits. I'm both an earl grey and almond fan, so this is my favourite of the 4 flavours I've picked!:

Top-right: Pink Guava Romance - equal parts tangy and saccharine, this features delectable Pink Guava ice-cream enrobed in a smooth pastry skin. This is really fruity and refreshing, good for those who want to steer away from overly-sweet flavours:

Left: Durian Royale - made from authentic D24 durians, this truly feels like you're eating durians! This all-time favorite is rich and creamy and promises to satisfy durian fanatics:

Bottom-left: Sticky Chewy Chocolate - filled with their signature Sticky Chewy Chocolate ice-cream which I too love, real chocolate fans should not miss this out!:

The cafe isn't easy to spot as there's no huge signage that spells out its name; I would have missed it if I didn't see Leon seated by the window haha:

Love the rundown, industrial look:

Peppermint Hot Chocolate (S$6) - one of the better hot chocolates around!:

Iced Peppermint Cucumber Tea (S$6.50):

Muesli Broiche Toast (S$14.90) - 2 slices of toasts and muesli served with homemade berries compote. I love the muesli a lot! They provide a crunchy texture to the soft bread, and also reduces the overall sweetness a little:

Spicy Crab Penne (S$16.90) - pasta with really generous portions of crab meat, baby tomatoes and rocket. I'd prefer if the penne portion was larger, or if a different type of pasta was used because penne is always not as filling for me:

Red Snappies (S$18.90) - red snapper fish served on a bed of baby potatoes, topped with creamy mushroom sauce. My favourite dish that day; I couldn't stop reaching for more. The fish is soft with its skin crispy, the potatoes are crunchy and very flavourful! Love how the mushroom sauce complements the fish as well:

And this was further back in July @ Revolution Coffee with Windy for brunch! Had pretty high hopes for this place because of many positive reviews but I probably wouldn't head back soon :(

Fresh Orange Juice (S$6) and Iced Mocha (S$7.50):

Pancakes with Gula Melaka Butterscotch & Bananas (S$13) - 3 slices of pancakes served with their house made gula melaka, butterscotch, bananas and coconut whipped cream. The combination of everything is actually pretty heavenly, but it got a little sweet for me after awhile:

Big Brunch Breakfast (S$16.90) - choice of eggs (scrambled/sunny side-up), meat (bacon/beef sausage/pork sausage/ham), sides (sautéed mushroom/tomato confit/caramelised onions) and sourdough toast. The pork sausages taste pretty weird to us because of the spices within, the rest of the items are average but the portions are so small I feel the price isn't justifiable:

French Toast with Kaya Reduction Sauce (S$14) - 2 slices of toasts soaked in beaten egg and fried, drizzled with their house made kaya reduction sauce (pandan-infused coconut milk + egg sauce) and coconut whipped cream. Was looking forward to this the most but the kaya sauce is too diluted and watery and the toasts are too dry. I had to spam a lot of the sauce on the toasts in order to taste the kaya properly:

You can also check out the post over HERE.

Do you believe in horoscopes? I do. I'm a Gemini and possibly every single trait of that zodiac describes myself perfectly - even the negative ones haha. I'm currently in a relationship with a Leo and I must say Leos are really one of the best signs to date. Here are some reasons why:

1. They are 99% fun and 100% romantic
There is never a dull moment with a Leo. Because they are creative and open-minded, you can always expect crazy ideas, conversations and activities on your date, and they are usually 'game' on accepting wild challenges or dares.
They are also the most romantic partners ever. They believe in expressing their love very frequently, be it saying "I love you" every single day or surprising you with balloons and flowers now and then because you like them. They also don't mind writing cheesy love letters, or making up their own love poem or video for you as long as it expresses their affection towards you.

2. They make loyal partners
When a Leo says he loves you, he truly means it from the bottom of his heart - and it will stay that way for as long as you are faithful to him. You never have to worry that he would cheat because staying loyal to you is #1 on his list. You can be sure that when a Leo gives, he gives every bit of his mind, body and soul.

3. They are the most patient and understanding creatures ever
Patience is another virtue of a Leo, and this I can see it clearly in my relationship. He went after me for more than a year (!!!) and even after multiple rejections from me because I wasn't ready, he persisted and stayed by my side and waited till I was.
He has also been tolerating my temper for the longest time, and accompanying me to cafes/events that he might not necessary like. He is willing to take hundreds of OOTD shots for me without complaining - well, most of the times - too.

4. They are optimistic
A Leo is never one to be defeated or disheartened by setbacks, he gets back on his feet fast whenever something bad happens. He tends to see the brighter side of things and this is really useful if the other party is always pessimistic (like me hahaha). I love optimistic people.

5. They are very generous and big-hearted
A Leo is never stingy, be it emotionally or materially. He is willing to spend what he can afford to make sure the date is a successful one, and that both parties are happy at the end of the day. He will also readily give a lot to the relationship without asking much in return, and ensure that you quickly become part of his life.
What makes Leos so well-liked is that they are not only kind towards their partner, but also towards their family members and friends, sometimes even aiding needy strangers :')
(Though sometimes it can be worrying when he treats others too well that I don't feel special anymore hahaha.)

Well of course Leos have their negative traits as well, such being very stubborn/headstrong, bad-tempered and domineering and it can be frustrating at times. But if they are so big-hearted and loving towards us 90% of the time, I don't see why these negative traits have to get in the way :)Wenhui Wanghttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-47661755610342061002014-05-28T00:11:00.000+08:002014-08-08T09:29:29.890+08:004D3N Bangkok - Day 1: After You | Platinum Mall | Street Food(Read on Day 2 HERE / Day 3 & 4 HERE)

A few weeks ago saw me travelling to BKK for the 3rd time! I always look forward to going there because of the awesome shopping and lovely food :) I was pretty anxious initially because of the protests and unrest that was/is happening there, but so glad things were under control during our stay! The only bad thing that happened (besides the crazily hot weather) was probably us getting food poisoning (we have no idea from what)... an experience I never want to go through again.

Anyway this was Day 1 of our trip! We flew by AirAsia and touched down at around 12.30pm BKK time:

Because we were about an hour early for our hotel's check-in, we decided to have lunch first at After You @ Siam Paragon:

Siam Paragon's really big and there's a loooot of food, I've been there twice on my 2 occasions to BKK but I didn't even come across After You. Anyway it's located on the ground level, right beside the Gourmet Market:

They have a queue number system so you can just wait at the seats outside for your number to be called. The turnover rate's pretty fast, we only waited about 10-15 minutes for our table:

They provide free + freeflow tea too!:

Strawberry Limeade (105baht / S$4) - I don't really like this cos there's too much sugar syrup in it... and the strawberries taste artificial:

Shibuya Honey Toast (175baht / S$6.80) - their signature toast which is very very yummy! The toast is really thick as you can see, with crispy edges and soft + moist + sweet interior. I especially love the corners of the bread hehehe. I can now understand why my friends who've been here miss this toast so much. I kept thinking about it myself too:

Matcha Toast (205baht / S$8) - I was expecting matcha-flavoured toast because of its name and the higher price, but it is only the ice-cream that is matcha :( Felt a little cheated but it still tastes good nonetheless!:

Italian Sausage Pancake (185baht / S$7.20) - the pancake looks plain and unappealing but it is not. I hesitated to try it until the very last bite was left, and I regretted after because it is actually soooo good. Slightly on the salty side, but I like it:

Our meal totalled to 670baht which is only about S$26! Cheap and good :9

After You
Siam Paragon, Ground Floor

Daily: 10:00am - 10:30pm
Tel: +66 02 610 7659

After lunch we headed to our hotel Glow Trinity Silom, which is located about 100m from Chong Nonsi BTS station (3 stations from the central, Siam BTS station):

Erm, I really didn't mean to capture their unglam shots lolol:

I would really recommend this hotel if you're going to BKK! It's really clean and pretty (pink!!) and I give a huge thumbs-up for their service. They have a near-Olympic sized pool and a gym (pictures in the next post), and you can also rent DVDs for free! There's free Wi-Fi and their room service's cheap and efficient too. There are also 2 cafes located on the ground floor but we didn't get to try them during our stay:

Off to Platinum Mall after that for shopping! We were on a tight budget (I brought about S$300 only?) so we only explored about 3 storeys before calling it a day. The mall also closes pretty early, at around 7.30pm BKK time, so there wasn't much left for us to see either:

We wanted to have some street food for dinner, so we headed across the road and found a stall that was randomly set up outside Shibuya 19:

Tomyam Soup with Prawns - tomyam soups are a must-try in Thailand of course! Their soups aren't as spicy as I've expected and the tomyam taste is just nice. This comes with the freshest prawns we've ever tasted too! Unlike those usual frozen crunchy ones:

Squid with Salt - crunchy and slightly dry, but very flavourful:

Chilli Clams - countless amount of clams stacked in this plate, and the spiciness is addictive:

And that was it for Day 1! Goodnight Bangkok :)Wenhui Wanghttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-20064878232419037362014-06-09T13:00:00.000+08:002014-08-08T09:29:15.594+08:004D3N Bangkok - Day 3 & 4: Chatuchak Weekend Market | Farewell(Read on Day 1 HERE / Day 2 HERE)

Bangkok Day 3
Day 3 was Chatuchak day! We had breakfast at this mixed rice stall just around the corner of our hotel. There's always a long queue during dinner time so we decided to try it out to see if it was really good:

And it was! Except for the Chicken Liver (we only found out the following day that it was liver.....) which I didn't like. And it was really cheap too - just 50baht (S$2) for a plate of rice and any 3 items:

And off we went to the Chatuchak Weekend Market! It is located right outside Mo Chit BTS station:

Nobody leaves BKK w/o trying their Coconut ice-cream (50baht / S$2)! I'm not a fan of coconut, but I really love the ice-cream version. I had mine topped with barley and nata de coco. It alse comes with a refreshing coconut drink:

Seafood Pancakes:

And I love their freshly squeezed Orange Juice (no salt, no sugar added) which comes in really handy under the hot sun:

Twist Potato (30baht / S$1.20) with Tomyam seasoning. I couldn't really taste the tomyam though:

I know I don't look tired at all here hahaha but I was really dead beat after just 3-4 hours. Spot the heat rashes on my neck too:

Came across this fruit juice stall that sells Watermelon juice! I hate watermelons, but I love anything else that is watermelon flavoured (e.g bubblegum, sweets and this!):

Went to Central World in the evening and we had our dinner here, somewhere in Siam near Platinum Mall:

Snakehead Fish (180baht / S$7) - the fish's really huge and there's so much meat! I really like this, and it's so cheap too:

Prawns - we were hoping these would be as fresh and tasty as the ones we had on Day 1, but no:

Tomyam Soup with Pork - the soup's good of course, but the number of pork slices is quite pathetic:

Meow!:

Day 4
Our last day in BKK! Flight back to Singapore was at 10.40am BKK time, so we had to leave really early :(

Had breakfast at the same place again because I really liked the food hehe:

Waited for the shuttle bus A1 at Mo Chit to DM Airport:

At Don Muang Airport, before entering the gate!:

Goodbye +66! You'll be missed, and I'll definitely be back again! :)Wenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090793700950771772.post-61357750147472444482014-05-30T00:30:00.000+08:002014-08-08T09:28:44.651+08:004D3N Bangkok - Day 2: Roast | Khaosan Night Market(Read on Day 1 HERE / Day 3 & 4 HERE)

Bangkok Day 2:
We woke up early the next morning to head to the gym and the pool! The facilities are located on the 9th floor of Trinity Complex, which is just right beside/opposite our hotel:

Wearing the bikini that Triangl has kindly sent me. Thank you! :)

Headed to Roast Coffee and Eatery for lunch after that! It was about a 15-minute walk from Thong Lo BTS station, but we decided to cab (for 100baht) instead of walking in the scorching sun. The temperature there was around 37 degrees Celcius??:

Iced Matcha Latte:

Chicken Schnitzel (300baht / S$11.70) - thin and crispy chicken with sautéed green beans, Dijon mustard and almond flakes. I love how they wrap the lemon slice with a gauze such that it doesn't make a mess when squeezed.
Another deceiving dish (refer to Day 1 for the 1st) that I didn't wanna set my fork into until the last minute because it looks so fried and dry to me. It is actually very juicy! The roasted almond flakes go really well with it too, providing a crunchy dimension and an added fragrance to it. Apparently the green beans are really good too according to Windy, but I refused to try them haha:

Corned Beef Hash (280baht / S$10.90) - consists of sautéed corned beef, onions, garlic, sliced potatoes and poached eggs. I've always loved corned beef, and I find this really special although it's slightly on the dry side. Everything is thinly shredded but very flavourful, and the texture feels like dried cuttlefish strips which I find nice to chew on haha. The onions and chill padi also add mild spiciness to it:

The eggs in this dish don't come with hollandaise sauce but I requested for it for an additional 30baht. I feel uncomfortable eating poached eggs without the sauce haha:

Duck Confit Salad (340baht / S$13.20) - crispy duck leg with cranberry sauce, roasted potatoes, salad and sour cream. This dish's a little disappointing as the duck's too dry and stiff for our liking :( The potatoes are really nice though!:

This meal totalled to 1221baht, which was about S$47.70.

Went for a manicure and pedicure session next! Mani for me, pedi for Windy haha:

Headed back to our hotel to catch a nap before Tuktuk-ing to Khaosan Night Market. It was definitely cheaper to travel by cab (200baht V.S. 400baht), but I wanted to let W experience a Tuktuk so we took that instead.
Anyway the uncle took us to a different stretch of market that I used to always go, this one had more atas pubs and restaurants which felt a little weird lol:

Fried insects! We had some crickets for 30baht I think:

Ordered a Banana Nutella Prata (50baht) because I couldn't find my favourite crepe stall anywhere, but this was as good!:

Came across this and I insisted on ordering the Noodle with Pork Soup (50baht) because it sounded so good, but guess what? The noodles came straight out of an Instant Noodle packaging and the uncle just dumped all the seasonings inside the soup it tasted so salty and horrible. It didn't even go well with the pork. We took 2-3 mouths of it and threw everything away:

Pad Thai with Egg (30baht):

We cabbed backed to our hotel to save money hahaha.
Day 3 & 4 will be up soon! :)Wenhui Wanghttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Arsenal transfer news: £32m swoop for Alexis Sanchez under threat as Juventus join bidding war
Published: 08 July 2014
Updated: 12:06, 08 July 2014
Arsenal have suffered a late scare from Juventus in their attempts to complete a £31.7m deal for Barcelona star Alexis Sanchez but are about to confirm Mathieu Debuchy as their first signing of the summer.
Barcelona are hoping to conclude the £75m transfer of Luis Suarez from Liverpool and sale of Sanchez by the weekend.
Arsenal remain the favourites to finalise a deal for Sanchez having already had a £31.7m fee accepted by the Catalan Giants and agreed personal terms worth £135,000-a-week.
Their only Premier League rivals for the 25-year-old's signature, Liverpool, have conceded defeat and are in talks with Benfica over buying Lazar Markovic instead.
However, Juventus still pose a threat, even though they will need to sell either Paul Pogba or Arturo Vidal, who are wanted by Chelsea and Manchester United respectively, to raise funds.
Sanchez has returned early from a post World Cup holiday to sort out his future and significantly would like to play in Serie A again.
The Chile international, who scored two goals for Chile in the tournament this summer, spent three impressive seasons at Udinese before joining Barcelona for £23m in 2011.
He enjoyed Italian football and the lifestyle there and would consider a switch to Juventus if they are able to meet the asking price.
Barcelona are hoping that the interest from Juventus will spark a bidding war and increase the price of the forward, which will in turn help pay for more of Suarez's cost.
However, Juventus do not have much time to find the money they need and Arsenal remain confident Sanchez will play at Emirates Stadium next season.
AC Milan have also been linked with a late offer, but can't offer Champions League football and are also lacking the finances to compete with Arsenal.
The north London club's first acquisition of the close season though is expected to be Debuchy from Newcastle for £12m.
Debuchy completed a medical yesterday and will replace Bacary Sagna as the club's first choice right back following his free transfer to Manchester City.
Newcastle have used the negotiations to enquire about taking Carl Jenkinson and Joel Campbell, who impressed for Costa Rica at the World Cup, on loan.

Yeah, seems like I'm running out of luck with USPS lately. I'm also waiting for another package sent with USPS, and it's been more than 3 weeks. Anyway, my EMS status has been updated, hopefully my cables arrive on time before holiday. Thanks Craig and Mike!
