Dazzling Cafe

I believe most of you have heard the hype about popular Dazzling Cafe from Taiwan opening in Singapore earlier this year. We initially delayed our visit after hearing about the crazy long queue! Finally went there awhile back for lunch!

It was a weekend afternoon and there were afew people in the waiting list before us, so we left our numbers and had ice cream first. After we were done with the ice cream, the guy from Dazzling Cafe called us to inform that we've got a table. Perfect timing!



Dazzling Cafe is really pretty, albeit a little too cramp and crowded.

Awesome Day Out!

One of my favourite weekend spots in Singapore, is Quayside Isle located in Sentosa Cove. I love how beautiful and peaceful it is. Nice place to just slow down and relax the day away!

原来我们和爱情曾经靠得那么近

也许当时忙着微笑和哭泣 忙着追逐天空中的流星
青春是段跌跌撞撞的旅行 拥有着后知后觉的美丽

LYRAMINN X GUMTREE

Recently while looking for an additional selling platform for my online boutique Lyra Minn, I downloaded Gumtree's new and revamped app!




All along I knew about Gumtree's existence as Singapore’s number 1 free online classified, but it was my first time selling on Gumtree and I'm honestly very impressed with how simple it is to use the brand new interface! Posting an ad only takes me 3 minutes, plus it's free!



I just need to click on the sell button, take a photo, select the category, input the description and price, and voila, it's up and live! Kaching$$$!

I don't like dealing with the nitty gritty stuff so usually my partner is the one handling all the customer service and sales for my boutique. However, I realize it's actually quite easy using the Gumtree app! I can instantly reply my customers on my phone using the application's chat function, providing instant service for my customers.



I've also been exploring the Gumtree App as a buyer! Navigating around the app to find stuff I need is quick and effortless! Besides pretty clothing, you can also find almost anything with the help of the Gumtree community; from furniture on Gumtree to electronics on Gumtree to books at a bargain price to an electric scooter for sale, find a job or a flat, a nanny for your kids, or a find a language teacher and a part time maid on gumtree!

In collaboration with Gumtree, you can find Lyra Minn's exclusive deals on my Gumtree profile, for a limited time only!



Here are some of the brand new pieces from Lyra Minn recent collections that  I specially selected for this LYRA MINN X GUMTREE collaboration!





Everything at least 30% off the retail price, and nothing above $20!!! Yes, even for new arrivals! Only on my Gumtree profile you can get these exclusive deals!



Don't worry about not having a credit card, because you can arrange for payment and collection at Nuffnang's office through Gumtree!

Download the new and revamped Gumtree App now available on App store and Google Play store, and follow me on my Gumtree profile!

Taiwan - Changhua

We had a short stay in Changhua during our holiday in Taiwan.

One thing I love about travelling to other countries is the part where I get to try experiencing what life is like for someone living his or her life in another part of the world, completely different from mine. It's quite an intriguing thought.

The Betterfield

Gosh, just realized that I only blogged 8 entries last month! It's like the lowest ever throughout my blogging career! Not sure why but I've been extremely busy these days. Hardly have time to do nothing! It has been awhile since I filled up my social calendar too... Need more time time time!

Just awhile before starting this entry, I was struggling to choose between spending my night on blogging or watching Kang Xi Lai Le. I'm lagging behind by so many episodes! Kang Xi Lai Le is my happy pill because I always laugh a lot at the hosts and guests' antics! But if I watch and don't blog, I might end up with zero posts a month! Hahaha.

Okay, here's a simple entry! Bf found this cafe at Waterloo Street called The Betterfield, which is creatively named to sound like Battlefield. Haha. Not bad ah.

To be honest, I was quite disappointed when I entered the cafe though. The decor was very very very simple, a huge contrast from the standard pretty cafes nowadays. It didn't look like the cafe was going to serve anything better than mediocre food.



But I was so so so wrong!! I ordered the duck confit and it was sooooo good, I kept craving for it. The fattiness is not jelat at all, the crispy skin of the duck is very tasty. Also, the tender meat, which went well with and without the unique pairing of berry compote at the side. Thumbs up thumbs up!


Ordered Thai Chilli Chicken and it's also very good! The ingredients in the sauce add up to be a really nice coat for the fried chicken wings. Must order!


I liked the presentation of the Burnt Mentaiko Eggs Royale! I've never thought of pairing Mentaiko with Eggs Royale. What an awesome pairing!


I recommend for its good food!

For dinner we had mookata because I haven't had it for a long time!! Yummy!

當青春耗盡 只剩面目可憎



有些時候 你懷念從前日子
可天真離開時 你卻沒說一個字
你只是揮一揮手 像扔掉廢紙
說是人生必經的事
酒喝到七分 卻又感覺悵然若失

鏡子裡面 像看到人生終點
或許再過上幾年 你也有張虛偽的臉
難道我們是為了這樣 才來到這世上
這問題來不及想
每一天一年 總是匆匆忙忙

你我來自
湖北 四川 廣西 寧夏 河南
山東 貴州 雲南 的小鎮鄉村
曾經發誓 要做了不起的人

卻在 北京 上海 廣州 深圳
某天夜半忽然醒來 站在寂寞的陽臺
只想從這無邊的寂寞中逃出來

許多年前 你有一雙清澈的雙眼
奔跑起來 像是一道春天的閃電
想看遍這世界 去最遙遠的遠方
感覺有雙翅膀 能飛越高山和海洋

許多年前 你曾是個樸素的少年
愛上一個人 就不怕付出自己一生
相信愛會永恆 相信每個陌生人
相信你會成為最想成為的人

習慣說謊 就是變成熟了嗎
有一套房子之後 才能去愛別人嗎
總是以為成功之後 就能撫平傷痕
慾望邊 埋著錯過的人
當青春耗盡 只剩面目可憎

你我來自
湖北 四川 廣西 寧夏 河南
山東 貴州 雲南 的小鎮鄉村
曾經發誓 要做了不起的人

卻在北京 上海 廣州 深圳
某天夜半忽然醒來 像被命運叫醒了
它說你不能就這樣過完一生

許多年前 你有一雙清澈的雙眼
奔跑起來 像是一道春天的閃電
想看遍這世界 去最遙遠的遠方
感覺有雙翅膀 能飛越高山和海洋

許多年前 我曾是個樸素的少年
愛上一個人 就不怕付出自己一生
相信愛會永恆 相信每個陌生人
當我和世界初相見

當我曾經是少年
