Singapore after so long, again.

Hi sweets! Hows life treatin' you lately? I hope you had fantastic extended weekend yeah? Cos I do awfully living my life to the fullest for this last couples of months (can i use this as my excuse not writing any post here?). Despite, I have to admit from the beginning of year 2012 I had such a terrible hard times especially after a very long dramatic love life with my ex which was ended last year. Anyway, its a long story, many problems and mistakes (i cant share all here) we can learn from it though. :D But for now, everything seems go smoothly as i wished. He moved on, I moved on, and we still managed to keep our friendships in line. This is how people should do with their exs rite?

Speaking of which, Exs are just exs, they live in my past time, and i don't wanna think about it again. So please allow me to cope a bit with what I've been through in the last couples of weeks.
In mid July, I went to singapore to make several things done over there. Easy job but too many things to be done in 3 days cos I add it with my personal events too like do lil bit of college nostalgia moments, and catch up with singapore itself. Amazingly, Singapore grow faster than i thought. My heart skipped a bit... I feel left from the big news. I saw and experienced new tourism places and cafes, such as five&dime, food for thought, art science museum, and garden by the bay. This little sg getaway was super packed with hanging out with my college friends too. I miss singapore so much, can't believe I used to live there for 4 years and not as happy as i appreciate every lil bit of my time i spent there now. I hope to see you again soon singapore.

21 Sept 2011: BA (HONS) graduation

Finally I graduated successfully as a graphic designer and hold the First Class Honours like what i really wanted since I step in into this art school 4 years ago. That day made me feel so proud of myself and I hope my parents either. Despite of my father that could not manage to come on that celebration, I knew that he will always be happy for his daughter.

On that very special moments, I met and had fun with my it's-been-a-while-since-school-ends best friends. They looked pretty and handsome with their gown and sash on. And what makes sense is that they looked very happy as can be seen from their bright and smiley faces. I knew that not all of us have started to get a job or whatever it is a fresh graduans should have at this time, but hey, I believe that all of us have different way to live in working life, and I always hope that all of us could do our best and make use of our knowledge and creativity to improve the life of the society.

Ok, this talk is going to be more boring, so I just stopped it and wish you all my fellow graduans, a happy bright future ahead!

love,

xoxo

Hatched

Hatched, small restaurant in Singapore, serve all about breakfast and inspired by egg. Baked, boiled, fried, poached, scrambled, you name it! they have it all! So, for the egg lovers, i recommend this rest as one of your fav breaky spot. The ambience was perfect to spend your lazy day with a cute shape yellowish light bulb and the furniture was so lovely, made by wood with the details of egg yolk shape as the window. This rest is all about the details, from the illustration, colors, bookshelf, the wall and the floor, and the menu book was designed perfectly. You can take a look at the website and the location here. And ohh, the website is so cute!

Have a lazy saturday!

intimate and relaxed

wanna experience some cosy cafe while you are in singapore? Try this cute cafe, Hairloom and Caramel near Suntec. Full of magic and they sell lovely handmade stuff there. The food was ok, but the place was amazing. Caramel is the name of the cafe, and Hairloom is a salon beside this cafe. That's all what girls need to spend their hoilday rite? couldn't agree more.

Happy birthday dear twins brother

The Art of Happiness.

sounds cheesy? never mind. cos i think thats the appropriate title for my fyp. at least for now.

I feel that happiness is not merely a feeling or a life concept, thus it is an art.
