Fragments of life - whatever it is.

Fav shot, taken at Batu Ferringhi@Penang.

Hello everyone, I am back after one month, because last month is the most hectic summer semester month. *faint* While people are having fun during their summer break, but me had to do some extra subjects to get sufficient credit. fml yo. The last semester was kind of crazy and boring at the same time. lol The lecture part is always boring, yet I did find some joy doing the presentation with my coursemates and that's the only glimpse I could find throughout the semester. Anyway, I am reaching the end of my year one, how time flies and it's damn scary. 

Realizing I am no longer a teenager makes me cringe. Realizing I am closer to the society makes me cringe. Realizing I have to face more masks in the future makes me cringe. Realizing I have little true friends as time passes makes me cringe. The unknowns and facts are relatively insane. By having more knowledge of those, is creating fear that stops me from moving forward, and rather stay in comfort zone. Yes, I am that kind of people, sometimes. lol whatever x

Fifth Palate @PJU, Kota Damansara

Hello peeps! It's another food update, because why not? So last Sunday, after getting ready for lunch after the FRIM session with sistas and cousie, we headed for lunch at Fifth Palate. Actually, it was a random pick, because we had totally no idea what's for lunch and saw it on the net. The ambience seemed to be quite interesting, so off we "go".

Great moment at MissEllieTeaHouse [updated]

Hello people, I am back with another cafe recommendation! Yay! It was introduced by my mom's friend, and its interior decoration is so particular, cozy and welcoming. Their hospitality is also very caring and helpful, totally worth a visit. The price wise is reasonable and the portion is satisfying as well. I've visited twice there and still very impressed by their caring hospitality. 

Once you're in the restaurant, it is completely different world from outside. So much English feels. 

They collected some of the decor from all around the world. It shows how much effort and passion they have put in their restaurant.

One Day at Mitsui Outlet Park

Hello people, I am back for another food post! My family had a belated birthday celebration for my eldest sister at a Japanese restaurant located at Mitsui. It was quite a satisfying lunch. I tried it once with my mom, sister and uncle, and I found the beef don set was quite okay, yet the sushi was really impressing! Okay, I know, I know, let's talk less. 

Sushi Maru@Mitsui Outlet Park, 8 November 2015, Sunday

I would say the price isn't quite friendly and the menu isn't so unique than the others, HOWEVER, the quality of the food worth every penny of your money! They serve premium set lunch and dinner, but I wouldn't say it's the best Japanese restaurant, because you pay for the quality. Anyhow, this is probably a better option other than, Sushi Zanmai and so on... However, the price is kinda different as well. Well, you pay for what you'll get, I mean the quality. hahaha

Food Hunt with Family.

Hi people out there, I'm back with another food hunt! This post is dedicated to the seafood lovers! Today is public holiday, so my parents were planning to have something like one day trip to anywhere. Then, my mom decided to go to somewhere nearby Broga Hill to have something special. lol Well, less writing, more photos! Let's go!

Being Random and "Eat Me".

Hi people, I am back with another random post. hahaha Time flies really fast weyh, it's already October and I still have no idea what's going on in my Degree life. wtf. Hopefully I made the right decision for taking the September intake, because it was too sudden for me when I was still in my comfort zone. Honestly, I wasn't ready to get into degree life yet, but I don't want to wait for January intake, if so my life would be completely idle until that time.

Anyway, the beginning of my degree life was kinda sucks, everything was confusing and unorganized. It was because my college started the course one week earlier than the actual university in UK, so the teaching materials weren't send to the tutors aka lecturers. zzZ So basically, the first week of my course here was  basically wasting my time, but I ought to attend the lessons. bleh. In case you're wondering which university of the program I'm taking currently, it's perhaps a uni you'll never hear before, so it's unless to tell you anyway. hahahaha By the way, I'm taking Business Management program, in case you want to know. 

However, until now, I'm still very confused and lost of what I'm ought to do for my courses. There is no examination for my first semester, which is weird to me, and I am so not used to this kind of style. Moreover, I have a bad relationship with assignments, I hate them throughout my life, seriously and my first semester are probably assignment base. fml please. I was thinking to take UOL aka LSE program which is 100% examination base, but the courses they offer aren't my kind of liking, so I chose another one instead. LSE..... and my current one..... Got a enormous difference eh. *cry* Useless to cry over a spilt milk. 

Okay, I've finished my babbling, so let's have some foodie update. Well, this cafe probably most of you guys have tried before, I know I'm really outdated, I know. But I just happened to go there for some girls talk with my cousie and sisters. Then, I thought I might not need to bore your guys with my crap talk, so let's get to the food thing.

It has a really nice lavender aroma, which I kinda like it. Very refreshing and best drink during hot weather. :)

Reclaimed and Lose - The Magical Moment.

Halo people! I am back with another post without food. Sorry, for letting you guys down, because I wasn't really into or have the chance to go for food hunt. haha I was working part-time and my degree is gonna start on coming Monday, wish me luck. Hopefully most food and travel posts in future!

Recently, I was completely in confusion, trapped and struggled. In short, I was lost. I wasn't sure if what I am doing now is good for myself, because something popped out in my mind which turned me into confusion, again. I found my real passion, well, to be honest, should be confront. I always try to convince myself not to think about it, especially during this crucial moment, however I just can't. It kept popping into my mind, like a reminder. But for real, I just can't pursue it, I have no ability to support my passion, which has worsen the whole situation. And that's why, I struggled so much, well I do struggle a little bit now but not too much. haha There is more... Seeing friends are able to pursue for their dreams, indeed, I feel really happy for them, but there's just, ya'know, separating is hard. I was as if having a short-term depression until I eventually released myself.

While I was playing my piano in this afternoon, I felt something magical happened. I felt my soul was released, freed to roam. I was trying to play LuXiaoYu by Jay Chou, but I could barely remember the melody, so I closed my eyes, like I used to be, letting my fingers to run freely on the keyboard. Then, all the notes came into one piece, the melody started to run, the song was finally completed. At the same time, I was released. I know it sounds really weird, but it does happen. That's how the magic works. It's just magical, isn't?

In the dark I see no one, but I feel myself. Then, I found my freedom. During the time of playing piano with my eyes closed was indeed awesome, I felt so light and just living at that moment, enjoying my playing, just simply happy. It had been a long time since I felt so contented, lively and simply happy. Because that's how life should be.

Again, music saves me. Even though it doesn't last long, but still everything starts to fall into place, slowly. I do feel better now, at least I know I have something rest on when I need it. When in the darkness, I somehow feel more secure and confident, because it's only me. Well, maybe by putting myself in the dark, can make my mind focus more? Then, be able to put everything into one piece and figure it out. lol Or, maybe I just need to spend more time with music to give me more mental support. hahahaha I sound so pathetic. Well, maybe it's true? 

I shall give myself a break, well, I ain't got time for a break now, degree starts in real soon. And I guess I have enough of break just yet I clear my mind. lol Too bad. Well, life doesn't always go the way as you wish, just like my passion. However, I believe maybe, perhaps, one day I will be able to pursue my passion and experience different things all around the world. 

That's all, I hope it doesn't bore you, even though it does, I know. hahahaha 

Take care, love ya'll,

xoxo,

The Owls Cafe.

Hello people! I am back for another food discovery! I guess most of you have heard of Owls Cafe for quite long time, and I eventually got the chance to try it out after hearing some positive feedback from my sister. So last Friday I went with my college babes and Tuesday with my another group of babe. haha Basically went there twice within a week. hehe

The Owls Cafe @Bukit Jalil.

Block 5, Unit 12-1 (1st Floor),

Jalil Link, Jalan Jalil Jaya 6,

57000 Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.

First thing is that the space is really limited, so the queue is freaking long. On Friday I waited for around 15 minutes to get seated for three; Tuesday waited around half an hour for four. lol And on both days I was really hungry which made it worse. hahahaha Lemme tell you, they got endless queue, so just try to be as early as possible if you wanna skip all the hassle. haha

The ambassadors of Owls Cafe. hahahahaha

FRANCO after Dynasty Dragon.

Heyyo imaginees! I am back with more food hunt! YAYYYY! FOOD. Today my family and I went for my papa's belated bday lunch at Dynasty Dragon located at C180. Initially, they were deciding between this and another nearby Hulu Langat if I'm not mistaken. But then, due to the weather issue, we chose C180. HEHEHHE 

Dynasty Dragon Seafood Restaurant@C180, CenterStage

Well, to be very honest, the service they provided was really poor. Seriously. Perhaps due to the limited labour force, there wasn't any people approach us when we arrived upon the entrance. The restaurant inside was kind of crowded because it's Sunday, ya'know, family day. After finding the place for ourselves, we eventually settled down for our lunch while we were so hungry. hahaha Okay, I shall stop complaint too much and let the photos start! *pardon for low photo quality*

My favourite!! XIUMAI! You can't go wrong with dimsum on Sunday! lol

This taste really quite good.

♚♚♚

Dessert- Honeydew with sagu. 

This wasn't only looking kinda gross, and was quite disappointing as well.

Snack- dk what tofu.

Since it's snack, the portion was quite small for my family of six.

Not only looking cute, it's crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. thumbsup!

♚♚♚

Pork Neck with Shimeji Mushroom.

The pork was good too.

Lotus Root with Macademia Nuts and Cellery.  

Actually the food they served was kind satisfying, yet the services provided were poor. Anyway, it's considered an enjoyable lunch for food. loll

Well, we couldn't just go home after lunch right, so we decided to go for shopping at IOI City mall. ;)

FRANC✪@IOI City Mall

Wanted to try Franco for quite some time, and finally I got to try it out! I heard some good and bad feedback from my sisters. Because she tried once at OneUtama and once in Midvalley, however the quality wasn't consistent. So, I really wanted to know how it will turn out for IOI City mall. nyeknyek.

Very patriotic yo.

Iced Matcha Latte.

Too milky. meh. 

Which makes me to have more urges to try Matcha Hero Kyoto! arghhhhhh

Iced and Hot Cafe Au Lait.

I tried the iced one and it's really good. The mild milky taste didn't surpass the coffee aroma, which turned out to be really good. And the coffee aroma stayed for quite some time in my mouth. Recommend this to those who like black coffee, but with a mild taste of milk.

♚♚♚♚

Chocolate Souffle.

I don't really like or dislike this, but my sistas and mom said it' was good. It tasted like what I did last time- the mug cake aka microwave cake. hahaha I used milo powder instead of cocoa powder, which turned out to taste like this souffle. lol It didn't taste nasty, I mean the souffle, but I would like to try the match one. hehe

Adzuki Red Bean&Jelly Pancake Match Softee. 

My sista told us this tasted different from the Midvalley one. lol However, I don't find this good anyway. The matcha pancake wasn't as fluffy as I expected. The dark jelly is coffee and green of course matcha. The ice-cream wasn't too bad, and adzuki red bean wasn't up to expectation as well. After this, it makes me wanna go to OneU's brunch to try a better version. lol

Franco French Toast. 

This combo was quite good I would say. The toast had a really good savoury of eggs! After showered it with the maple syrup if I'm not mistaken, its delicious-ness level up! Moreover, the whipecream on the top, wasn't too sweet which surprised me alot, because normally this cream does make me lose my appetite. lol 

♚♚♚♚

Croque Madame.

This toast was great as well, but I don't really like the overwhelming cheese thingy, which made it kind of salty to me. However, it was good, the toast. The salad otherwise which was so disappointing! Not fresh at all and too little! D;

♚♚

The egg yolk...........yummmmmmmms

Okay, that's all for today's foodie post! Stay tuned for another food hunt at Owls Cafe ✌. 

take care, loveya'll,

xoxo,
