The Carrot Cake and A Cup of Coffee

As I sit here indulging in this piece of cake the thought has come and strike me again .. What if I have chosen a different path . Dam . Who knew that carrot cake could be this serious . 

Well technically it wasnt the carrot cake . But as my corporate friends left me for work ... I could only think of the what ifs . 

I may or may not regret my decisions in life only time will tell ... However I'm not going to tell myself not to waste my time anymore wondering about the what ifs . 

What has been done it's all in the past now . 

This seems like an end of the year post all off a sudden ... Which brings up the topic of ... "Can't believe this year is going to come to an end so soon " don't we all say that every year ? 

But oh how my life has changed in the past . Met new and also loss people . Traveled to many places . Cried and laughed . 

Oh such a heavy post for me to type everything out . 

Time for me to live in the moment and stop looking in the past . 

Oh it's just one of those dam emo days . 

Penang

Penang not the usual trip ...

It's normal for us studying up North to drop by Penang whenever we want to , midweek , or every weekend be it for better food , birthday parties or like I used to say civilization ... 

I can say for the past 5 years of studying here I've been to Penang more than I can count for .

But it has been a while since I explored Penang ... the last probably was during my foundation days that was 4 years ago .... I got the chance to do some Penang exploring when a friend from KL decided to drop by for the long weekend 

Despite being really hot ... I think it was a weekend well spent and this probably being the "last" time I go to Penang before leaving for Alor Star ... Happy I could explore Penang once again . 

New World Park .. Always a good place to start for a late lunch ... By the time my friend reached Penang it was already past 3 . 

We over ordered since we were both hungry and it was the first meal in Penang . 

As usual I almost always order their yam cake . 

It was pretty late by the time we were done eating , went around Feringhi area . On the way back made a put stop by Gurney for their Rojak .  

For supper we had zhap fan or mixed rice ... I don"t know who else eats mixed rice for supper other than Penangites ... And this shop only opens at night. 

Good memories of this zhap fan as the last time I had this was 3 years ago from another Penang food spree trip :3

After a heavy supper ... What else to do but to wake up early to continue eating the next morning .

It's been a while since I ate apom of this kind . I miss it already . Think I'm going to be addicted to it . Famous Claypot Apom manis at Pulau Tikus . So good I was told I had to wait 1/2 hour to get this and it was only past 7 am . 

Went a bit further to try Hokkien mee and mee goreng at Bangkok Lane .

After the crazy heavy breakfast we decided to walk around the Botanical Garden. Shameless to say it was my first time there. After all these years . :3 

After walking breakfast off ... We decided to have uhmm ... Post breakfast (heh) .. at Big Ben since it was nearby. 

Plenty of fruit stalls at Botanical Garden which were selling fresh fruits and juices ... Wish there were more places like these in KL that aren't at crazy marked up prices . 

After that we went to Heritage Row ... Where we got to take pictures with all the famous murals on the wall . Pretty ... I've seen them before but well it never dawned to me to take pictures with it (heh :3) but nonetheless it was pretty fun .

Meow.

China house . 

How is it that I have never been here ? 

I'm in love with this place . 

I"ve heard so many things about it , seen it before but I have never stepped foot in it . How is that possible ? 

I was like a kid in a candy store . Look at the cakes :O

Finally tried their Tiramisu. Mmm :) 

Lemon curd cake ? 

So coming back here .

Ending with a pic of the famous air itam laksa ... Last picture I took before my phone battery died :3 .

Aah well I"m probably 3 times heavier than I was before I embarked on this trip but not guilty that I had way too much to eat . 

This is definitely not the last eating trip . 

 

Back in Campus

So I've been back on campus for nearly a week now . 

Should have just extended my holidays cause classes haven't even started yet.

ABC - Acme Bar and Coffee Visuals

Note to Self . Remember to revisit .

Sizzling Brownie <3 So good .

Fashion Inspiration : Cara Delevingne

I never understood the hype .... until now . Love . So pretty and she's crazy <3333

KL Bound | London | Visuals

Well I'm back again after 3 glorious weeks of holidays .. I finally have the time to blog .

This has been in my draft for a while now that it seems kind of irrelevant to post anymore. Or maybe I've just lost my blogging mojo for Europe . The hype of it all has died down.  

But here I am since I've already uploaded some pictures weeks ago might as well just post it up.

After Weeks and Weeks of Studying

I was about to put up some midweek visuals .. or more like visuals from the past month or so .. but realized nothing was quite worthy .
As I browsed through my entire album it was basically just food .
I kind loss my food mojo these past few weeks.

On the other hand .. finally last day . In a few hours time I'll be sitting for my clinical exam.

OSCE the most intense and nerve wrecking 4 hours of my life .

I should really be studying. But that's what I've been saying for the past few hours.

100th Post : And A Birthday

As I type this out on the day before my birthday .. not to mention a major exam paper- Medicine .. I probably should be studying instead and yet here I am compelled to share my thoughts to the public.

I'm feeling .. well nostalgic , so bear with me as I may burst out into a song, recite a poem or tell a story whatever it maybe this is my space and here you are reading this entry.

It used to bother me not being able to celebrate my birthday ... on time . that was how spoiled I was. It's been nearly 5 years since I celebrated my birthday on the day itself .. be it with my family or friends back home. Now I just couldn't even care less. I've grown , changed or I've probably been sensitized to the fact already and I'm just numb from going through the course.

For the past 5 years today I've realized how much I've grown and learnt throughout my experiences here .. be it being away from home, meeting new friends and talking to patients. I don't really know what hit me .. but it did . No doubt I do experience the occasional "What the hell am I doing here ?.. I've just wasted my teen years .. can somebody just shoot me right now" but it's usually when I'm cramming in for exams. 

I've realized how much I've grown now compared to before , how much more matured my thinking has become . I like how I've change .. which then hit me again , if I never took this course or never came here .. would I have been the same person as I am today ? I wouldn't say i was a terrible person before .. but I can say I was childish. Superficial . Someone I don't want to be now. The thought just scares me . 

Which just reminded me of a poem we used to read in high school .. I wonder if I took the road not taken in the end ? Have I made that decision yet ? So many questions left unanswered .   

That all being said I'm thankful that I'm still still close to my friends back home as if we never left high school. We are still able to talk for hours ( and I don't mean gossip because seriously who has the time to gossip nowadays ? )  But we talk about our lives now ..how different it has become and how we are all leading different lives now. These are the people that i truly cherish and love. 

Anyway this post is just want to remind myself to be thankful. And hopefully to learn from experiences in life to become a better person each passing day. 

Happy Birthday to myself , and older and wiser me.

End Of The Week Visuals

Initiating a hiatus since my second sem exams are like in 2 weeks followed by finals somewhere mid-July. 

stress . stress . stress

On another note , the last time in Singapore my dad bought me a new camera for my earliest birthday present yet ! 

<3 thank you papa 

By chance he picked out my dream camera the Olympus Pen E-PL3.

Managed to try it out this week and pictures came out amazing as expected !

3rd travel series

It may not be a lot for some people ....but being able to travel overseas for the 3rd time this year considering the busy schedule of hospitals and classes its a big feat and its not even half way through the year ...

Somewhat of a resolution coming true ... 

Anyway second time visiting Singapore this year. Just for fun .. Din't stay long just a night .. but I should definitely do this more often ! Any travel buddies out there would like to join me ?

Got lots of places to travel to and lots of things to see !  

Always gotta have MOS burger when I'm down in Singapore ! I wish they had MOS in Malaysia .. so much healthier compared to other fast food joints and yet still so good !     

Stayed in Marina Bay Sands Resort this time around . Got to dip in their infinity pool , enjoy the view and sip on champagne .. if only life was as glorious like this everyday. 

Craved for this cupcakes since the last time I visited . No more cupcakes for me anytime soon .

Always a breathtaking view <3

Had brunch at Au Chocolat at Marina Bay Shoppes . Was stumped on where to eat the morning we were going to leave so I googled and read that this place was suppose to have the best truffle fries in Singapore. Since I din't managed to try truffle fries the last time I was here .. I was kinda determined to try it out this time around ...

Truffle Fries ($15)

and this ... is Truffle Fries ... 

 Stuffed French Toast ($18)  and Au Chocolat’s Ultimate Benedict ($22)

also had mother of all French Toast and Eggs Benedict.

Top and bottom : Bangkok

Just realized I haven't updated my blog in a while. Haven't been doing much to post about . Been doing the same mundane things i do everyday . Classes . Going out . Eating . Shopping . Movie. There's only so much of the same thing i can post about every time.

Aah if only I have the time to explore the world . Maybe that would make me more interesting. 

Going back to being healthy

Barely an update . But this is what ill be busy with for this few upcoming weeks .. Working out and eating healthily .
When I'm fit . I'm happy .

March Already ?

Its already 3 months into 2013 . Holy cow .

Medicine posting is pretty hectic just because of a particular someone  (´Д｀)  (´Д｀).. only 2 weeks into the posting and I can't wait for it to finish.

On the other note .. I haven't been doing much
Its basically eat, sleep, study, plus minus a workout in between .
To think about going out .. its been either raining crazy heavily or its crazily sunny here. Either ways I'm too lazy to head out.

So that's about all for the next 4 weeks. Hopefully to blog about something more interesting in the next post :)

Another Makeup Haul

I'm back in KL again , and this time my first stop was to Midvalley for another shopping haul. I've taken the liberty to break the post just incase you're bored reading about all my buys (´∀｀)♡

Haul Kiss Me // Sleek

Thought I'd spend on some new make up along with new clothes as well .. decided on getting mascara and lashes from Kiss Me makeup since heard so much reviews about it .

                          

So far I've only used the mascara and it's really good . 

It makes my lashes really thick and helps maintain the curl of my lashes. (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

My lashes are pretty stubborn they usually end up being straight and point straight down again by the end of the night .. so annoying.

Although it is a tad difficult to remove the mascara with just makeup remover .. my best bet to remove the mascara completely is to purchase the mascara remover from Kiss Me as well.

Haven't managed to use the lashes yet .. not my usual style for lashes cause its very dramatic .. so i'll be keeping it for a night out clubbing .
