Yesterday evening, we went out to eat at Rocku Yakiniku in Pavilion. #1 Upon arriving at the mall, we saw lots of people excitedly snapped photos and posed in front of the tallest outdoor Christmas tree in Bukit Bintang! #2 The 70ft tall Spritzer Sparkling Tree at the Pavilion Crystal Fountain. So after filling our tummies, we went to check out the most beautiful Christmas decors in KL. #

*Beep, beep, beep! BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!* I woke up this afternoon and bounced out of bed feeling excited. Oh, you know that feeling of opening a new box and getting a new piece of technology? Yippee! Can't wait to play around with it later! So we spent part of the day doing some gadget shopping (thanks to my mom for the super early birthday ang pow hehe) and then went home to get ready for dinner

It was December, it was cold, it was raining outside. However, I felt all warm-n-fuzzy inside and craved for something sweet after dinner. #1 This little cozy cafe, which was located at Encorp Strand Garden Office has a welcoming atmosphere with super friendly owner and barista! As I mentioned in my previous blog post, we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Coffeels Coffee Kitchen.

I remember coming here on... ... Christmas Day when the restaurant was newly opened last year. Oh, don't raise your eyebrows. Yeah, Christmas comes and goes and, hey-ho, before I know, it's less than 2 months until Christmas 2015. Ho Ho HOLY SHIT! #throwback It was a wet and windy Christmas - but certainly not a white one. We intended to spend the whole day in jimmies and wait for Santa to

The lovely birthday gifts I received from Mariuca! In case you're wondering, no, it isn't my birthday today. It was um, a few months ago, but I'm expert in backdated blog posts so you know how it goes. Current emotion: 80% battery Well, it's late at night (er, wait, 11:30 pm? is that late?) and here I am blogging in peace when the rest of the world (or, more specifically, my time zone) is

The sound of birds chirping, I find myself relaxing and sipping a nice cold drink while enjoying the fresh air, outside, on a patio. The feeling is free and easy, I am happily reading a women's magazine in a comfy chair, where the gentle breeze makes me feel cool and inspired. Oh, how I love my life. A wave of gratitude washes over me and then, suddenly... I'm snapped back to my bedroom where

Uhhh... hello? Can't believe I haven't blogged in a zillion years! Oh my word, you... too? We're TWINS! *wink, wink* LOL. Yeah, yeah, Christmas is long gone, and there's a thick layer of dust in here for sure. Hahaha, yikes. Anyhow, I really feel like doing spring cleaning today and trying to work my way through a pile of started-and-not-finished posts. So a few days before the New Year (#

I wasn't sure if I was going to post the Christmas decorations that made me go "huh?", but anyway, check them out and have your say haha. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 Still here? Good, *loll* because this is most likely my last post before Christmas, so I just want to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and may your holidays be like Santa - fat, cheerful and abundant!

When we walked into the shopping mall two weeks ago, I loved what I saw and just couldn't take my eyes off – no, not the Christmas cabin, nor Santa's reindeer – but the fairy lights! Must admit that I'm quite impressed with the Christmas decorations this year. #1 #2 #3 #4 Fairy lights (twinkly lights, Christmas lights or whatever you want to call them) are really beautiful, don't you

'Tis the season to shop and after a full "Round One" of shopping, we needed to rest our weary feet and also a caffeine-pick me up, before "Round Two". Stopped off at La Bodega, but there were no vacant seats outside. So we went to Cafe de Paris (right opposite La Bodega), a contemporary French cafe-bar with classic yet modern interior. Sat at the al fresco area and the place is great for people

Have you listened to 1989, Taylor Swift's latest (pop) album? I actually rarely listen to her music, but I absolutely love her sense of style. It's very chic and she looks great in anything. She's gorgeous, obviously, and can't deny that the girl knows how to make hits! When my friend Aida showed me the music video for Blank Space, I couldn't stop watching and hitting 'repeat'. Not only is

#1 Whoaaa... the Christmas decorations at Pavilion KL this year is truly magnificent and absolutely stunning! If someone asks me when should retailers start displaying Christmas decorations, I would say, "Anytime is good with me!" Haha. #2 #3 #4 As expected, the mall was jam packed full of people last Saturday. Hence, I didn't take many pictures and no matter where we stood, it seemed

We were looking forward to seeing Lucy, so Ralph and I had a simple dinner and movie date night to go see it some time last month. Going to the movies is actually one of the things we both love to do, especially during weekends and the last movie we saw was Annabelle. Since we had an hour to kill before the movie started, I decided to take my bracelet to the Pandora store for cleaning. "But

The first time we came here, there were absolutely no empty seats. Two weeks later, we gave the cafe another try. The outdoor seating was crowded and there was only one little table available, right in front of the counter. "Annyeonghaseyo!" the cashier behind the counter greeted me cheerfully. "Hi, can I have that, please?" I smiled at the friendly guy (whom I thought was a Korean), pointing

Went to the shopping centre to meet up with a friend for some coffee since she had about two hours to kill before taking the SkyBus from 1 Utama to the airport. It's always nice having a catch up with an old friend. We were talking so much we almost lost track of time and after hugged her goodbye, I decided to get my nails done at The Nail Parlour, even though I was a little hungry. When Ralph

And just like that, we're already nine months into the year. I feel like I just flipped my table calendar to August a week ago! And, uh, I didn't post an entry in all of August!? Yeah yeah, bad blogger, no cookie for me. Anyhow, I was so lucky to get some new things in the last few months and one of the happiest packages I've received so far this year was a pair of Melissa pumps from ZALORA x

Oh hi, long time no see eh? Haha, it's been so long since I've last posted. I've said it before, and will say it again – I can't believe I haven't posted anything in ages! Yes, I am alive. A lot has gone on in the past couple weeks that I haven't even had time to shower. Totally joking. But seriously, life was going good and moving along. So what happened? Well, partly because the brain of my

While we were looking for a place to eat (it was sometime last year, btw), Ralph suggested T.G.I. Friday's since we had not been here in over God knows how many years. I have to admit that we don't really frequent Friday's or Chili's and the like because he's not a huge fan of American fare. "In here, it's always Friday." When we were seated, our friendly server showed us of their RM29.90++

I like pancakes. I love durian. So durian pancakes? Yes, yes, a million times yes! Every time we go to IPC Shopping Centre, we would grab the durian pancakes (RM12 for 6 pieces) from Sumptuous Desserts kiosk before making our way home. Sometimes, we finished it off before even heading home! So the other day, Me: I can't eat anymore I'm full. Durian pillows: Eat me. Me: Ok.

Continuation of my dinosaur-old backdated Taiwan entries! So, the rain slowed to a light drizzle as we arrived at the Martyrs' Shrine (located near The Grand Hotel) which was built to commemorate soldiers who sacrificed their lives fighting for the country. #1 Motionless military soldiers guard the entrance gate. #2 There were so many tourists from China congregating around and I actually

Added yet another coffee joint to my visited cafes – 'Rekindle Cafe' in SS2 (same row as Savemart). It was around 11pm. Not knowing where to get our nighttime pick-me-up, we drove past Rekindle and noticed the outdoor seating area was full of people, so we decided to check it out. The first thing that caught my eye as I entered the cafe was the rustic interior of this corner which decked

After almost two weeks with a different sleep/wake cycle every single day, I look like a dead daisy that got sprayed with weed killer and then got trampled, despite getting 7-8 hours of sleep each day. Not only my sleep is erratic, I eat at ridiculous hours and mealtime is... well, completely off schedule. Dropped by IPC Shopping Centre for a while a few days ago and decided to grab some food

We probably would not have discovered this cafe if Artisan Roast Coffee @ TTDI, the other cafe that we initially wanted to go to was crammed full. Well, maybe it's one of a great places for socializing at weekends, but I dislike going to overcrowded cafes where getting a place to park my butt is the biggest accomplishment I'm going to make. Kaffe Cafe itself is cozy with its warm, dim

I had a weird dream last night and I remember "It's Time" being played in the background. The indie rock Gods must have been smiling down on me for listening to Imagine Dragons' (an American alternative rock band) debut album 'Night Visions' a few times in a row haha.

The rainy weather for the past few days has been the perfect excuse to have steamboat and I just love all-you-can-eat buffets! When we got there around 7:30 pm, there were people queuing outside the restaurant, which is located at the first floor. Thank God, we made a prior reservation! #1 We usually go all the way to Sunway Mentari for steamboat since there're many steamboat restaurants over
