Exploring Georgetown Penang; Breakfast @ Kaffa Espresso Bar | Green Hall

 Hi guys! Today I want to blog about my one day trip with my lovely friends, Cindy and Iryn on the next day after the exam. First start off with my fav pic of the day! Pic taken at upstairs of Kaffa Espresso Bar and the lightning happened to be so nice.


I have been so eager to have breakfast at Kaffa Espresso Bar since everyone is posting about it! So we decided to have our breakfast there since it's also near the historic area. Ordered salted caramel macchiato because I read the tips from Foursquare most of them gave good comment about this! I think it's pretty common for teenagers now to view the tips on Foursquare when you visit a new place and have no idea what to order. 


Egg Benedict! Salmon salmon salmon!!


 Act like a tourist! Haha.

I explored the area once last year but it was longgggg time ago and there's a lot of new coffee shops and wall art now so should have visit again! 




The one with the cap is Iryn and the bottom is Cindy. I guess you already know them since they always appear in my blog post. Haha. Wanna give a big hug to both of you to thank you for accompanying me through the ups and downs in my life. (:

Did I mention there's a fruit stall selling really cheap fruits and fruit juice?!! I bet you can't find any cheaper price like this in Penang any more! I'd orange juice which is only RM1.

 Located at Lebuh Ah Quee.




After a longgggggg and hot day, you know you'll need something, something that can melt instantly in your mouth. Yea! It's the ais kacang. We had cendol and ais kacang that's located at Penang road.

 

 We also went to Sugar Honey and Chowrasta market. Bought a second hand of Twilight first series novel at only RM12! Yea you can imagine how old is that book. Haha but who cares! As long as it still can be read.

Walked on foot the whole afternoon and we just had to pick the warmest time to walk under the hot sun. Hah! Anyway, I think this 'trip' is really fun although I ate a lot of local foods which is considered super unhealthy for me. Hahaha. And that was how we started our last second sem break! See you soon babes.



Dim sum at Bali Hai on the next day before they heading back to their home town. It was a brisk weather.

Dinner @ Ah Mo | Irrawaddi Road

So yeah!! I'm back again! I know that my blog has been dead for such a longggggggg period but I still hope that my readers are still supportive! 

The reasons why I've been neglecting my blog is because I was too busy with my college, jobs, assignment etc. I really don't have free time to blog but I hope I do in the future! Now I'm having sem break which just started on the pass Wednesday. I was so stressed and feeling tense about this exam maybe because I wan't really into study mode in this sem. I still have one short sem left and then graduate! 

Back to topic, today I want to talk about my dinner with my babes as a simple celebration after the bloody exam. This is the first post in 2014 and I know I'd have blog something about 2013 recap or new year resolutions bla bla bla. I will do that in the following post (if I feel like blogging about it).  

OOTN. Don't feel like wearing anything too fancy because I was so freaking tired. Anyway, that's my new bag I got it in Genting on last trip and flats from Jelly Bunny. 

Cindy, Iryn, yours truly. 

#typicalasian 

 Their mushroom soup impressed me!

Herbs crusted fish for me. Nothing special for me but my friends like it much though. 

*****
I had a new haircut yesterday by Kyozij from Aviation! Love how he put 100% effort on every customers' hair which also means took a longer time to done the job. It took 2 hours to done my haircut, wash and blow. LOL. 


More wavy and layered! Love it.


I will start my online business real soon. So stay tuned. Xoxo.

My Sweet 19th Birthday

I feel so blessed that I have family and friends who loves me. This year I didn't plan anything about my birthday, time passed too fast I can't even feel any excitement about it. But this year I'd like to try to make myself the birthday cake which is quite challenging for me. I was trying to make a blueberry cheese cake! Luckily it taste not so bad on the 3rd attempt which is also on my exact birthday! 

 First attempt. The cake was hard like kuih and taste sour!! Omg this is the worst cake I've ever eaten. That's because I use the wrong flour hahaha.

 #PHAIL


2nd attempt. Improved a lot but still taste kinda sour. 

 3rd attempt! It smells good and taste good too! Glad that everyone like it! Hee.


12am : 10th October 2013

My girls surprised me by showing up in my house!! Holding a tomato with a pretty candle on it and sing along birthday song. I was actually gonna sleep (nobody will ever sleep before 12am if the next day is their birthday! Unless...) because I was too tired. Lol. I still happy to see them lah of course! :D



 Iryn, Jolynn, Fish, Cindy. :D


The next day in the morning I had mi shua as my breakfast. It's a tradition for chinese since my chinese birthday fall on the same day too!


Went to college as usual and after class dismiss, Iryn asked me to accompany her to go to canteen. I didn't expect anything though and so I was really surprised when I saw Ping Ping and Yi Wen there!


Never ever thought that I'll see them in my college. Thanks for coming all the way just to surprise me! Love both of you!! Wen Yuan couldn't make it since she has school. :/ But that's fine we can still hangout sometimes yea? :DD

 Yi Wen, Jolynn, Ping Ping. 

After class I was planning to have lunch with Iryn, Fish and Cindy as a simple celebration for my birthday. We went to Hakka Tree which is a newly opened restaurant located at the basement in Gurney Plaza. Just right after I came back from restroom I see my classmates were there! Another big surprise!!

3rd time making wishes in a day. (:


 Really appreciate you all for making my day. I heart you all!





The night is still young. After hitting the gym at about 9 something we went to Coffee Bean for a little chit chat.

Got a complimentary cake from CBTL on your birthday! 

I know that was too much calories for me but c'mon, spare me for one day! Hahaha. After birthday should get back to track and no more sweet stuff. Heh.

Presents!!! 

A lovely scent fragrance bought from UK by my sis, Grace. (:


I was really really happy and flattered. Thanks for everyone who tried to make my day wonderful. I wasn't expect anything and I thought it's just gonna be another normal day for me but it turns out with full of surprises and fun. My birthday was started with my girls and ended with another surprise by one of my primary school's friend on the doorstep. Happiness overload!! 

Late night delivery!! Thank you!!


These were the photos we taken at Cotton On, Paragon. It was free and they were giving out free ice-cream too because it was the grand opening of Gurney Paragon. 


I'd appreciate what I have and love you all for my lifetime. Once again,

BIG THANKS AND BIG HUG!! XOXO

Countdown to 1010


It's now less than 10 mins till my 19th birthday. Last year to celebrate my birthday of my age starts with figure '1'. I should appreciate everything I have. A lot of thing has changed, but my relationship with my friends and family remain the same. I love them. I love you. As you know I'm not good in expressing my feelings so don't get wrong with me that I don't care. I just didn't show it. Lastly, hope everything goes well this year. Everyone around me is happy. May our wish come true. Working hard to make it TRUE. Stay gold. Xoxo
