~ Another Year Has Passed, Let's Welcome Year 2015! ~

Sometimes it's really hard to believe that a year had actually passed and another year has arrived. A new year means it's time to set ourselves a set of new resolutions right? Haha, as for me, I'm not so sure about that, yet.

It's not that I don't want a new resolutions, but I want to really reflect on my year 2014, looked back at the old resolutions that I set for myself last year and figured out what works out and what didn't. My bestie Alexis send me something regarding setting a resolutions, always remember the SMART principle. =)

~ A Dinner With Le Bro @ Hoshino Coffee (Plaza Singapura) ~

Again, this was a quite "ancient" post, haha. But anyway, I finally went to have a DINNER at Hoshino Coffee in Plaza Singapura! Why do I make this sounds like something very exciting?

Wells, it was because I went to this place for a few times, but only for some tea times, didn't really try out their food. Heard from my colleagues and friends that their curry rice definitely is a must try, and finally the chance came! xD

Of course you all can refer HERE for my another visit to Hoshino previously. =) I decided to order the "Hoshino" Pot-Baked Curry Rice (SGD 15.00) since a lot of people recommend this dish.

~ Trip To Ho Chi Minh : Day 1 @ Ho Chi Minh City Tour (Part 2) ~

So here is the part 2 for my day 1 in Ho Chi Minh, sorry for the delay but I've been spending way too much time in office nowadays (>.<) and hardly could find time to really sit down and write my post.
Continue from the Part 1, after walked around in the famous Ben Thanh Market, we head to our next destination - Reunification Palace. =)

~ A Hidden Gem In Cuppace Terrace, Somerset : Wine Connection ~

When a meal comes with a glass of wine, people would mostly connected this to "atas" aka high standard of dining, which means expensive in general. Well, fret not! You don't have to worry about burning a hole in your pocket while savouring yourself in a good meal that comes with a glass of good wine, cuz you definitely can have it all in Wine Connection! =)

I was absolutely clueless about this place if wasn't my friend, Connie brought me there to try out. =) Really have no idea that there is actually a hidden gem in Cuppace Terrace! =O Oh wells, before I share with you guys more on the great food, some of you might be wondering where Cuppace Terrace is, right? Let me fill you in. xD

~ 我与女王有个约会之谢谢你(不)爱我签书会 @ Bras Basah Complex ~

我很喜欢看书，也很喜欢买书，当然有些作者的书我也是有固定性地"追踪", 好像刘墉，刘轩，戴晨志，村上春树等，而女王就是其中一名。话说回来其实我刚开始只是从网络上"认识"她，知道她是一名部落客，后来知道她也是一名作家后，我当然很兴奋，因为这样的话我就可以看她的书了。=)

谢谢你(不)爱我，是女王最新的著作，是她想藉由自己所犯的错误，所遇到的挫折，然后如何从这些失败中得到教训，从挫折中成长，告诉大家：生命之所以美好，是因为它的不完美。所有那些不美好的事情，都是让我们成长，才能成就今天的我们。=)

我本来并不知道女王原来也有来新加坡举办签书会，只是知道她在吉隆坡书展办签书分享会，我超羡慕那些有出席的朋友们，更恨不得自己可以飞过去参加她的签书会，奈何我人在新加坡，实在是没有办法抽出时间回去大马，所以就只好作罢。

~ Tsukado Najo Bijin Nabe aka beauty pot (美人锅) @ Plaza Singapura ~

Yup, you saw nothing wrong of the title of my post, it is BEAUTY POT we had! xD It was not my first visit to this place but it was the FIRST time I got to eat it cuz the waiting list for the day was CLOSED during my first visit. Super crazy huh? But it wasn't that good for my second visit cuz we still need to wait for around an hour before we can start our dinner. We were all already famished by the time we were inside. >.<

You all must be wondering what it is that caused such crazy queue and waiting right? Wells, it is actually a hotpot using quality collagen soup of Jidori chicken from Mizayaki, Japan and served with various vegetables, shrimps and other ingredients. And it doesn't have any MSG added. The bijin nabe is SGD 25 per pax and the pot serves a minimum of 2 pax. =)

~ Cafe Hunting To A Hidden Gem In Toa Payoh : Creamier ~

Again, this is also another late post of my cafe hunting but yeah, I did tried my best to update most of them now. =) I've heard of this place or rather, saw the review of it online and definitely know that everybody LOVE the waffle and ice-cream from Creamier! *excited*

But the visit seemed to have the "urge" (I think) to travel all the way down to the North side since I'm staying at the East side of Singapore (yeah, you may said that I'm not keen but seriously, I'm quite lazy and don't really fond of traveling far during weekend, lol). And finally, when Melissa said that she can bring me there since she lived around that area and since I've wanted to hang out with her other than during work so why not? xD

~ Coffee With Cute Latte Art @ Chock Full Of Beans, Changi Village ~

It's really paiseh for me only to blog about this cafe now cuz it was a super long time ago that I paid visit to chock full of beans in Changi Village. >.< But anyway, the main reason that attract me to this place is their super adorable latte art!! =)

That day me, Connie and her bf, Keinth, we all went to the travel fair at expo. Since we were already at the east side so we decided to go to Changi Village. After we had a quite sumptous dinner at the Changi Village Food Centre, we headed to Chock Full Of Beans for our coffee and desserts fixing. xD

~ Trip To Ho Chi Minh : Day 1 @ Ho Chi Minh City Tour (Part 1) ~

Day 1 (25/6/2014) -Part 1
About 5a.m. like that we went to check in (reluctantly waking ourselves up lol), which was 2 hours before our flight. =) We also had breakfast after we check-in. Our breakfast were those typical local breakfast, the rest were having nasi lemak set as breakfast but I decided to have toast since I was quite worried of the chili sauce in it was sweet. >.< I also ordered Starbucks coffee too, haha. =P

Before night after we had our supper at Pastamania, Alexis drew this while we were sitting at Dunkin' Donuts, haha. The drawing was cute and it also can be used as a signboard for our group, lol! =P

~ A Non-Strangers' Reunion @ Strangers' Reunion ~

Strangers' Reunion, when this cafe first came across my head, I was like: "Wow, the name is so interesting!" But what really captured my attention was mainly positive reviews of the food and coffee there, and ALMOST everyone recommend that the waffle there is a MUST TRY!! =)

So I just can't seems to find a reason of not going there and try their food and coffee out. I instantly regret of NOT paying a visit to this cafe earlier! Their food were quite up to standard and the coffee and waffles they served definitely is AWESOME!! =)

It was a casual Friday after work evening, me and Mandy, her bf and Ah Fui decided to meet up for dinner. Of course I would suggest Strangers' Reunion! xD It is located at Kampong Bahru Road which is nearer to Outram Park station. Here's a small reminder for you guys: It's much nearer to walk from the exit of Purple Line instead of the Green Line. =)

♥ ~ 这一刻，爱吧 2014 ~ ♥

<爱情，有多长的保鲜期？有些人为了梦想得接受远距离的试炼，有些人感觉不对了，果决喊停，让人措手不及。或许爱情曾经遗弃了你，但在送走悲伤后请不要放弃爱，它可能站在下一个转角等着，要让你的心脏再一次用力的跳动，这一刻，爱吧! >

不久前 我在facebook看到有朋友share了一个video，以为是新的电视剧预告片，原来不是。它是一部微电影，叫做 "这一刻，爱吧"。我刚开始并不知道原来它已经有2012和2013两部了，还以为只有2014这一部而已。呵呵，我还真的outdate，真不好意思。=P

从一开始我就被它深深地吸引是因为2014这一部都是我蛮喜欢的演员所主演---林依晨，陈柏霖还有柯震东，当然我最喜欢的还是林依晨和陈柏霖，虽然他们俩在这一部微电影里并不是在一起，可是没关系，能够再一次地看到他们的合作也应经很不错了，嘻嘻。=)

~ Follow The Nguyens To Vietnam : Trip To Ho Chi Minh ~

Ok, finally I'm going to update you guys on my recent trip/holidays/vacation, whatever you wanna call it haha. =) This is the first time I write a travel post, so will try my best to provide all the details and the informations that you might need and refer when you wanna travel to there. =)

The Happy Nguyenssss~ Haha!

Really been longing for a break from my stagnant lifestyle so I asked my bestie Alexis whether she wanted to go on a trip with me or not since we also never been to a trip together before. Then after that Connie and her bf, Keinth also joined in and became our travel buddies. =)

~ Get Your Eyes Tricked @ Trick Eye Museum, Resorts World Sentosa ~

Hi everyone, I'm back finally!!! xD Just came back from my holidays not long ago, had a really great one with my Nguyen Alexis, Nguyen Connie and Nguyen Keinth, lolol. =P No worry, will definitely update you guys about my trip soon here!!! And you will know why we all called each other Nguyen now, lol.

Anyway, gonna update about my visit to this newly opened Trick Eye Museum at RWS aka Resorts World Sentosa not long ago before my short holidays. This museum is originated in Korea, so there is a BIGGER one in Korea, but for people who still haven't got the chance to travel to Korea, we can just go to this one in Singapore instead, haha. =)

~ A Pretend-To-Be-Hardworking Dinner @ Miam Miam, Bugis ~

It was a quite impromptu dinner date as I really didn't had any plan that day but then I suddenly received whatsapp from Janessa asking whether wanna meet for dinner or not. Of course I'll said YES! Then the dinner just set with total 6 of us, Janessa, her bf Royce, Connie, her bf Keinth, Yuki and me! =)

The dinner was set at Bugis so we decided to head for Miam Miam as we never tried it out before. Miam Miam is the combination of French artisanal cuisine and Japanese culinary. And I saw a lot of people highly recommended their French Toast as one the must-try when you are there but unfortunately we didn't ordered that. Will reveal more later on. =/

Anyway, before I proceed with my post, I got one photo I wanted to post, haha! My friends sent me their pic showing that they were all waiting for me and asked me to hurry!! Wells, since you guys sent me that, I think I shall posted it here for sharing! HAHA. xD

~ Affordable & Nice Western Cuisine @ Rice And Fries ~

It was a hot Sunday evening and I decided to meet Yuki (who was still in Singapore that time) for dinner. I've met her up in Kembangan since she stayed there and while we're still being indecisive of what to eat for dinner, suddenly I thought about this cafe called "Rice and Fries". =)

I remembered that one of the blogger review that I read stated that this place located within walking distance from Kembangan MRT station, when I still had no idea where is it as we tried to walk to somewhere near the Kembangan Plaza (where I have my Korean lessons there), suddenly I spotted it!!! Hahaha, lucky me! It's just located opposite the road behind Kembangan Plaza. =)

~ Spend A Nice Weekend With Friends From North ~

Yes, I know I'm super SLOW cuz it's been a LONG while that my friends made their visit to Singapore and only till now then I blog about it. Really didn't have any spare time to update my blog despite of my super busy works that caused me to OT like everyday? And been going out these few weekends, so yeah, that's why I don't have time to blog. *sob sob* Hopefully after this I will have more time to update you guys more, hehe. xD

Actually I've got to know that Alexis and the rest (Jenice, Sookyann, Sookyann's sis and Anthony) will be coming down to Singapore on Saturday as she already told me before hand. So I asked some of my friends to come out and be their "tour guide" of the day, haha. =P

Photo credits to Sook Yann's sis, super love this shot! =)

Our first destination was the Singapore's most famous tourist attraction - Sentosa. And no, we do not go there for the universal studio but just went there to take some pictures only, haha. xD Here are a few photos that were taken in Sentosa. =)

~ 听见你的声音 너의 목소리가 들려 I Can Hear Your Voice ~

看完了，看完了！啊~~~~ 好难接受啊！为什么这部剧只有18集而已？xD 应该长一点才是啊~ 那么我就可以多看多帅哥李钟硕几眼(应该不止几眼吧，哈哈！=P) 好啦，好象越扯越远了，不好意思！>.< 我真的、真的觉得这部戏非常，十分，绝对好看！（又在滥用辅助词了！xD) 我是真心的觉得这部剧非常值得一看，绝对不是，不只是因为李钟硕，也因为蛮有创意的剧情和构思，所以才觉得好看的，嘻嘻~ xD

对对对，我也懂这是一部蛮久以前的戏，没有办法啦，实在是很难抽空出来好好地把手头上的戏追完，一个list这么长咧，lol. *叹气* 不过，我是看完了最近超火红的"来自星星的你",才开始看这一部的，可是我却用更快的速度看完这一部戏，因为真的很紧张！！>.<

~ A Long-Time-No-Have-Breakfast/Brunch @ Five And Dime Eatery ~

It's been quite long time since I last had a PROPER breakfast or brunch, too lazy to go out lately. >.< So finally I managed to drag myself out from my slumber land and met up with my bestie, Alexis for breakfast. Of course she will have the first priority since she traveled to Singapore. (When is your turn Shing?! xD)

I decided to go to Five and Dime which is located at River Valley (which is quite "ulu" by the way) as I saw this place received quite a few of good reviews on its food and the dining environment. =) I wanna said a BIG thanks to my friend, Tuckh Poon for finding out the way to get to the destination =P

After almost half an hour of walking, we finally reached! xD God knows how sunny it was... >.< While we were waiting for Alexis's boyfriend, Ah Fui to join us, we were also waiting for our table. So here's a little reminder for you all, please make a reservation before you come as this place is very crowded during weekend. >.<

~ A Night Of Spanish @ Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant ~

I've always had Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western, Thai or even French cuisine, but still haven't got the chance to try out Spanish or something similar to Mediterranean-style cuisine. So when I met up with Connie, and her boyfriend, Kj for the FIRST TIME (I mean I know him, but only from facebook, lol), we decided to try out this place - Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant in Vivo City, Harbourfront. xD

Serenity is a place that serves authentic Spanish flavours and culture delicious cuisine. Their specialties are tapas, paellas (Spanish rice), Spanish style suckling pig, pork knuckles, Sangria (Spanish wine cocktails), etc. =)

You can absolutely have an enjoyable dining experience as they have alfresco area that face Sentosa. If you wanted to bring your date to a romantic dinner and need some wines to lift the mood up? Fret not! They have a good and wide selection of wines! =)

~ Cafe Hunting : The Bravery Cafe @ Horne Road, Lavender ~

This post supposed to be up quite long time ago, but yet due to the malfunction of my keyboard, I only got to put all these posts up now. =( This cafe is one of the cafe on my lists that I wanted to pay a visit in Lavender area. (Another one that I wanted to go so badly is the Chye Seng Huat Hardware which is very famous for its coffee!)

It's very hard to tell from the exterior of the place that it is actually a cafe. And what makes it even harder to find out the place is they have no signboard at all. Like no any signs written "Bravery Cafe", but you can tell that it's a cafe cuz you can see that there are people chilling and enjoying their cuppa coffee inside, lol.

It was a rainy Sunday and I met up with Esther, who is Alice's best friend and somehow now become my friend too, haha. Life itself sometimes is weird yet wonderful at the same time, what fated is fated, you can never tell what's gonna happens next right? =)
