Makan Days

Hello readers! Just a little update on my eating days with Adelynn that is long overdue Haha.

I finally managed to try Upstairs Cafe, like YESS! Do you know how many times I went there and it was close?? It's so depressing on so many levels especially when you're craving for pasta.

I decided to try their Vegetarian Carbonara which turns out to be quite good for RM 10! However, I had too much pasta or food in general over the weeks, now I'm just tired of food. HAHA.

Either it's the day itself or the following day, I had supper with Adelynn! 

Just plain old McDonald's, no worries. No where fancy.

The chocolate is too sweet for me though but I lovee their cornflakes or whatever the crunchy thing is!!

Next day, out again with Adelynn and both our sisters. We had lunch at Alchemist;

Carbonara Pasta (again) & Peach Tea yums!

And Pei with her seafood bolognese pasta haha.

Seflie moments!

Decided to go for desserts after that! All those selfie must have made us hungry HAHAHAHA.

Hui Lau Shan

Okay, for the final day out, I totally forgotten what did we do LOL. Anyhow, we had Delicious! for dinner because they had the buy 1 free 1 pasta promotion yeppies!

But.. it's pasta (again.) Reasons why I'm tried of food now HAHAHA.

Although, their Aglio Olio Duck Pasta was quite salty to the extend where your mouth feel like eww.

Last dessert for this post,

Yeppies! I didn't know Milk Cow opened in Pyramid hehehe. I kind of like Milk Cow because their soft ice cream is super milky and smooth and it goes well with honey.

Milk Cow!

Okay, until next time. Sorry for the impromptu-no story line post LOL, xx.

A productive week

Today's adventure are about all the productive things that I did during the whole week! Just wanted to share some of my achievements with you guys because I think I did pretty well in it hehehhe. I hope it would help you too if you're planning to do anything like mine. 

First thing that I did was reorganising my wardrobe HAHA. #girlsproblem #toomuchstuff  I made something to help with my accessories that have been lying everywhere in my cupboard. 

A ribbon notice board, but in this case, an accessories board.

I got this idea when I saw my cousin's sister's brother-in-law's room (HAHAHA now that's some long extended family line thing), he made a ribbon board just like this except, his one was definitely nicer. I thought this would be a good idea for accessories, especially if you're hanging the board in your wardrobe, normal cork boards are at risk with push-pins. I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want to get prick on push pins when looking for clothes. *yikes!

I really hope you find this picture super useful LOL, because I couldn't get any visual when I was trying to make this ribbon board! You can make this from old photo frames or window panel, which ever that looks good. Be creative! 

Besides that, my sister found something useful at Daiso and decided to give it a try since we need more space for my wardrobe. It's something that helps you to hang more stuff in one line.(technically seen as aligned) There are many tricks to this method but I didn't like how the thing look after that so I was like ew when my sister introduced it to me HAHAHAHA. Now, it's a life-saviour!

So neat and cute right?? It's so different from the other tricks like:

Daiso also have something like the last picture. 

Okay, not to offend anyone that uses this type of method, I'm pretty sure it helps a lot and also save cost but it is just not my preferences. I mean, they don't look that neat plus, it looks horrifying to me T___T I guess some of you would feel that there isn't much differences compare to mine but yeah. I mind ok.

Another hanger that my sister found for skirts are:

This is really cute & neat! You can find all your skirts and you don't have to fold them over hangers which makes your closet look so bulky and congested. I recommend this for all formal skirts owners!! Daiso sells both the brown and this hanger in pair for RM 5, now including GST RM 5.30.

The next thing is like da BOMB. When I saw it in Daiso, it got me so excited I was jumping already hahaha.

It's a NAIL THINNER. You know, when your nail polish starts to thicken and it's like full bottle or so which is a waste because if it's thicken you can't use it. FRET NOT! This magical baby is here to save the day. HEHEHHEHE. Do you love the name of it? I did. It was a miracle because I have been looking everywhere for this.

I added the white wire thing, in case you're wondering why it look ugly or what's that ugly white thing LOL. I want to make sure I wouldn't lost the squeezer so this is the best/effective way to prevent so.

How to apply it:

1. Go ransack through all your nail polish and find those that are old and thicken, bring them out for experiment!

Thick/Used to be thicken, but in this picture I had already add the thinner. (forget to take picture heheh)

2. Add sufficient amount of thinner into your nail polish and mix them thoroughly.

Sometimes, you need to add A LOT of thinner for the nail polish to return to it's original state (when you first bought it). I tried on my OPI based coat and yeap, used a lot of thinner haha.

3. Best serve when ready! hahaha

Kiss goodbye to all your worries about thick nail polish heheheh.

Next up, I decided to give a new look to my sister's jeans since she has 2 of the same kind so here you go:

I ripped it HAHA. Honestly, it's quite hard for black jeans because everything is so black it makes it harder to cut in a straight line. Overall, I made it and got a new look for the jeans. You can learn this DIY from anywhere, just google it or go youtube.

Ripped jeans works well with anything casual, and it also enhanced your look to a more street kind of look. It's worth trying if you like that kind of look. :)

During the week, I also went shopping at several places and got this white knitted sweater from Cotton On at RM30! I love it because I used to have a pink one but made a silly mistake and gave it away. Super regretting it now. T__T

Anyhow, there's 2 way you can wear this knitted sweater:

Off-shoulder, like a beggy pullover. 

OR

with a deep V neck. 

Both give different kind of look, so depends on which on you're going for. I like both it's so hard to decide OMG hahahaha.

Finally, the last & glorious achievement of mine was this top that I made FROM SCRATCH! HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry, but it's my first time really putting my 100% in DIY-ing my own top so it's really overwhelming for me when it came out as a success.

Of course, the first time I made it, there was some error which was really disappointing because it's a little tight and the material from my old t-shirt has lost it's elasticity. I asked my mum about it and we decided to go buy new cloth for my top yay!

My second time making this top. I love the colour HAHAHA. I admit it really consumes a lot of time compare to the DIY videos that we watch - like those are 15 minutes and I took probably 3 - 4 hours making this top. THIS BARE BACK TOP. Imagine if I have to make a full t-shirt or a dress. Maybe 1 whole day wouldn't be enough for me LOL.

Don't let that stop you from trying though, hehe. I am considering on making another one but without the bare back because I doubt I would find an occasion to wear it out LOL.

That's all for my productive week, I'd like to hear yours too. Let me know what you guys think of my accomplishments and feel free to share your story in comments below!

Until next time, xx.

After Black // Sunway

May I present to you, black after. LOL #coldasice joke.

So much for after black right? HAHAHA. I think if they off all lights, human will start to glow like Avatar's forest because it's so dark.

I think black is probably the new gold because lots of cafe now usually have dark or black colour as their wall colour. (Probably easier for them to clean also cause' you can't see no dirt yo!)

The environment is quite okay there, or at least it was at the time I was there.

OMG, my menu quality sucks so much I can't even comprehend. Sorry guys, the lighting was bad too because it's night. #sadz.

Anyway, they provide some amazing set meals:

which are pasta set or black rice set. Maybe there are more set meals but I only took two because we only try from those 2 set.

Some side snacks that my friend order which is quite good, but then again..

since when wedges never taste good? HAHA.

Tempura Prawn with Cheese Baked Black Rice Set // RM 18.90

Apparently, in order to achieve a charcoal black kind of colour for rice, they used the squid ink. I have no idea if it's suppose to be disgusting or disgustingly cool. You be the judge.

(Not in Set Menu) Duck Aglio Olio Pasta (if I'm not mistaken)  

I've forgotten the price for this pasta, sorry!

Rose Latte // RM 10.90

which is surprisingly good and the aroma of the rose mhmm.. it compliments well with the latte.

Garlic & Herb Roasted Chicken Whole Leg with Garlic Mint Tomato Sauce Pasta // RM 17.90

My friend couldn't finish the pasta because the chicken was big enough whoop. How does that sounds for RM17.90? 

FINALLY, for mine:

Lemon Yakult // RM 7.90

Don't judge okay, I know their coffee definitely sounds better than this but I was trying to budget. :(

Cheese Baked Mushroom & Broccoli with Aglio Olio Pasta // RM 14.90

This goes really well together, but I didn't quite like the mushroom water taste with cheese eww. Maybe next time I should transfer all my cheese baked onto my pasta. 

Overall, I think this place is quite affordable for students with a relaxing kind of environment. Plus, their set meal portion is big so you wouldn't have to worry about being hungry later!

**Tips to budget more, you can actually order a set meal and another plain pasta (RM 5.90) so both you and your friend get to enjoy the main dish along with personal pasta at a cheaper rate! #budgetlife. HAHA 

Happy saving! xx.

Vintage Cafe // Summit

Any one up for vintage? haha. I heard there's a new cafe that recently open in Summit. Okay, I know Summit is not everyones' number one choice but when your college is near Summit, it's your second best place to go LOL.

Anyway, my sister and I decided to give it a try. It's a subtle cafe where you can miss it if you're not looking properly but, it's great for a hideout from social hahaha. It's cosy and small so yay.

Little decoration for the table

Free Coffee or Tea with your meal, well tea please! Free stuff always make people happy hahah. 

Fish Carbonara. 

It's okay for RM 7.90 (that's before GST) but the fish is just meh. Though, I went again like last week or something and they changed the fish! The new fish is way better haha. 

They have limited choice in their menu but you can ask "what's special today" to get something different! The first time I went they had smoked chicken carbonara I think, and the second time- chicken aglio olio.

Inside the cafe facing out, and

 facing in.

Besides that, they have pastries! If I'm not mistaken, they change their variety of pastry every week. On my second visit, we tried their pumpkin pie and it's really good. They created a cinnamon crust with pumpkin + ginger filling. Sadly, I didn't take a picture so I couldn't show you how good it looks like.

You can also get your own customise cake from them for any special occasions but you need to order few days earlier. This is really convenient though for college students especially when we have friend's birthday. However, I don't really know how much does it cost for a whole cake so yeap, you guys need to check it out first,

Finally,

As you can see, it's not a very eye-catching. In fact, when I first pass by this shop I thought it was a bookshop LOL. You can find this shop at 1 floor above Popular, near the mamak stall OR if you know where's the Thai Shop, it's near there too.

Hope you guys like it and let me know if you've try it out! xx.

At loss for words

I've been thinking about this for awhile, and wonder how can one be there for their friend in tough times? It's like an impossible mission because at that time, everything one may know about the person, isn't the same person any more.

It actually hurts to see how our friend go through this in life and it pains us even more that there's really nothing we can do about it. Now that I'm at the other side of the door, I understand what is it like to be at loss for words.

Back to 2 - 3 years ago, I was the one going through a tough time (minor tough time) and there was a particular friend who only said, "Cheer up, I'm here if you need me." when I told that person about it. At first, I was quite piss and disappointed. It seems as if one didn't really bothered about it but now, maybe I was wrong. Maybe one thought it was the best to let me have my time and when I'm willing to talk, one'll be there.

I wish now that I didn't say things then because it was all a misunderstanding and now, it could be the caused of broken friendships. I'm sorry that I wasn't more mature then. That "tough time" wasn't really a big of deal now either. Lesson learned: If it wouldn't matter in 10 years time, it shouldn't matter now - need to really get this in my head.

Although, I'm glad that situation happened. If not, I wouldn't have thought about it and try to approach things differently now. Thankful for one of my friend too, that helped me realised there are other ways to be there for your friend.

The main reason for this post is that I want to express to my friend that's going through a tough time right now. I want to say that I'm here for you and if you need me, just call me. I hope that you would understand, I'm at loss for words, not that I'm not bothered. Words can't express how glad I am that I was able to get to you today and bother you with bits of my life, hopefully I can continue to do that without annoying you.

signing off, xx.

Short Video: I will - Chelsy

Remember I told you guys I was helping my friend with her video assignment? Yeap, the Japanese theme girl video hahaha. 

It's finally finished! I'll let you guys be the judge. I was just about to say "just in case the video got removed, here's a uploaded version" but I decided to search for the youtube version first and wow. It really got removed LOL! 

Lucky me for saving it earlier.

I'm still trying to figure out how can I actually enlarge my video in the post because it's small like so not nice to watch something small - not to mention the video quality had drop a lot (no idea why T_T sorry guys)

Credits to the respective owners for the song and video, hope you guys enjoyed it!

xx.
