~ A Little Short And Sweet (?) Escape/Getaway ~

Hahaha, was wondering what kind of title should I use for this post then suddenly Gwen Stefani's song "Sweet Escape" came to my mind, lol~ Not really a vacation but you know, just a short getaway from my current stagnant life routine, to give myself a short break. (Wells, I would love to take a long break but my financial condition certainly won't allow me to, sigh..)

It was a last minute planning, so after discussed with my bestie Alexis for a few times and she got place for me to stay over and she got time to spare for me, so I just bought ticket and headed to KL to find her! Haha, kinda random but that's the adventurous part right? xD

Initially Alexis told me we can go to the Sepang Gold Coast if I can reached there around 12pm, but unfortunately I was late and unable to get myself a cab due to heavy raining early in the morning!! WTH RIGHT?!! Out of so many days it didn't rain but on the day I wanted to go out, it actually rain cats and dogs!! Urghhh~! >.<

Since by the time I reached KL is already 3pm, so the plan going to Sepang Gold Coast have no choice but to cancel! *Sob Sob* Imagine if I can swim and enjoy some picturesque scenery there, oh my god, at least it will give me more like a vacation-feel...

~ 接受,还是不接受?~

在网上看到一段这样的文字 :


生命里有门功课,叫做 "接受" :
接受爱的人离开,接受亲人的离世,接受喜欢的人无论如何也
不喜欢自己,接受喜欢的人无论如何也不能在一起。。。
接受自己的出身、相貌及天分。无论活到多大,每一次在 "接受"
面前,我依旧像个只会嚎哭的孩子。区别是,长大得自己会对
自己说:"接受,是变好的开始"

然后就会有人说:接受,其实是懦弱的表现。
可是我觉得不愿意接受,其实才更像是一个懦弱的表现。
虽然很多时候、很多事情,很难让我们去"接受", 可是毕竟是一个事实,
要"接受"了才能有勇气去改变。=)

~ Always...Have A Plan B ~

Had a short getaway not long ago (will have a post about my short getaway soon! ^.^) and finally get a chance to try out this Plan B restaurant. Plan B got a few outlets in KL such as in Bangsar Village, One Utama, Paradigm Mall, etc., and I went to the Mid Valley one.

Heard of this Plan B before cuz they just opened their first outlet in Ipoh not long ago. But still, I could hardly get the chance to try it out since I mostly won't be eating out when I'm in Ipoh. (Of course gonna eat my mum's home-cooked food when I'm back in Ipoh! xD)



The place was crowded even though by the time we reached there is already around 2pm. *faint* Fortunately we don't have to wait for long to be seated. The place is spacious and have this modern feeling, and they also have alfresco dining area! =)

~ Truffs - A Hidden Gem In CBD Area ~

Thanks to my office's weekly one hour off recently, I got more opportunities to explore the hidden cafe or makan places around my office area, and Truffs is one of them. I really wouldn't notice this place if I didn't look up for the shophouses on 2nd storey. (Will try to look up more in case I'm going to miss out anymore nice place afterwards. >.<)

A collaboration between Outofstock design studio and Truffs, the Truffs cafe provide customers a space to hide away and savour delectable treats while enjoying the handcrafted designs by Outofstock. The Truffs offered a menu of their signature cakes and truffles paired with gourmet tea and locally roasted coffee.



The Truffs located at the 2nd storey of some shophouses nearby Ahmoy food centre. The cafe is spacious and the interior is quite simple. Simple doesn't mean not nice right? Haha.

~ 一个不想睡的晚上 ~

Time check. 现在已经是半夜三点零八分,虽然有点累,可是却还不想睡,脑袋在此时却还无比的清晰,lol. *汗* 在网络上流连,听着歌,想起好多、好多以前的事,掉入了回忆的漩涡中。。。

真的好怀念那曾经快乐的时光,或许你已经不记得了,或许你已经不再想起了,或许对你而言,那段日子已不再了,可是我真的好怀念,怀念我们一起说笑、无所不谈的日子,可是这一切都好像很遥远了。

虽然有时候有那股想跟你好像以前一样,可以畅谈、尽情地开玩笑的冲动,可是被理智压制了下去,当然其中一个原因是你那跟从前截然不同的反应,真的很让我不懂要如何应对,好害怕一个不小心又把东西给搞砸了。

~ Spend Some Alonetime @ Selfish Gene Cafe ~

Selfish Gene Cafe, such an interesting name isn't it? Haha, will tell you guys more about their name later on. Usually I seldom (or almost never?) will go to a cafe alone, but that day I managed to do so!! Hahaha, kinda happy about it, lol. (Can considered as an achievement for successfully taking the first step!! =P)

Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of a crowd area, this cafe located somewhere at Outram/Tanjong Pagar area. Guess you must be wondering why they name the place "Selfish Gene". They had always been rather selfish when come to food, not that never or unwilling to share the food, but rather they will not serve anyone food that he would not eat himself.



Although my friend told me that it would be easier if I walk from Outram MRT station but since I'm already in Raffles Place, so might as well I just walked to Tanjong Pagar and start from there?

~ Cafe Hunting : Penny University @ Katong ~

I just don't know why can't bring myself to blog about my experience to this cafe, just keep on dragging and dragging.. =( I've went to this Penny University like, for ages? Lol! Probably I'm just too lazy, you know, to recall and write it out, but this seriously must be done fast!!!! >.<

It was on a Sunday (Once upon a time... lol.) and after lunch at this Beach Road Prawn Mee Eating House at Katong, we went for some "high-tea" time at Penny University which just located nearby. (Just to let you guys know, the prawn mee here taste super good! *Thumbs up!* Should go try if you guys are around or making a trip to Penny University. =))



Penny University is a term that originated from 18th century coffeehouses in London, England. For the price of a penny, one had access to coffee. It is an artisanal cafe born out of a love of coffee discovered in London.

~ Cafe Hunting : The Coffee Shot @ Lavender ~

This cafe that located somewhere out of the corner in Lavender street caught my eyes when I went for the prawn mee last time. And some of my friends also went to this cafe before but I still didn't get a chance to make a trip there. Just can't seemed to find a proper time I guess..

Finally, the chance came! Took a half day off and asked Jermaine for an impromptu meet up, and bingo~! We decided to go for The Coffee Shot as neither of us wanna travel far. *Oh my, we were just getting more and more lazy! =P*



The cafe is spacious and the interior is quite "classical"? One side of the cafe is more to "home-style", the seatings for this area are sofa, make you feel more like at home. While the other side is typical "cafe-style", with normal wooden tables and chairs as seatings. =)

~ 十月了,你还好吗?~


可能最近都比较得空, 因为突然多了几天假期。。。xD 又还没想到可以去哪里玩 *不算是玩吧,其实最近都有一股想离开一下的冲动,远离尘世城市,让自己好好地沉淀一下*, 就一直呆在家里,没什么事做,就把我之前一直没有时间做的事都一股脑地用这几天来chiong完,哈哈!

几天假期让我有时间整理我手机里的照片(没有办法,平时所累积起来的,真的超乎想象的多!!),写我的blog(还有蛮多posts还未完成 >.<),看戏(copy了很多韩剧),看书(上次在书展"扫"了好多书!呵呵~),等等等。。你看,是不是好多要完成的事?*抓狂中*

虽然说是放假啦,可是怎么让我的人也好像越变越懒呢?*借口!你自己本来就很懒的说!* 哎呀,总之这些都不是重点啦,lol~ 就突然很emo,突然很感触,突然很感慨,突然很。。(你到底要突然几次啊?!) 就突然觉得自己真的老了!! T.T

~ TGIF @ Standing Sushi Bar & RedDot BrewHouse ~

"Standing Sushi bar? So we eat while standing?" LOL! This is what my friends' replied when we were discussing where to meet on a Friday night. Hahaha, funny people but of course got seat la, my gosh! And as usual, I saw and heard from my friends about this bar that served nice Japanese food but never had the chance to go down myself, tsk tsk tsk, I'm just not fast enough. *Asked you to race meh? lol.*



I can said that this restaurant is not that easy but also not that hard to spot. If you all know the Food For Thought which located nearby Bras Basah station (Find exit for Queen St), you definitely can find it! What makes it not that easy to be spotted is because it's somewhere hidden in the corner, but no worry, it's located at the left side of Food For Thought. =)

~ Old Buddies Gathering @ Hoshino Coffee(星乃咖啡店) ~

Mr. Woo (a.k.a Ah Fui) asked for a short meet up (yum cha) on a Sunday afternoon. Since none of us (four of us actually) intended to travel far, so I suggested to meet in town instead. After a lunch in Xin Wang Hong Kong Restaurant @ Plaza Singapura, we decided to head for some tea time!

After roaming a while in Plaza Singapura, we finally decided to settle our tea time at this place called Hoshino Coffee, which located at the new extension of Plaza Singapura. Even though it is no longer a new restaurant around, but the queue is still snakingly long! >.<



Hoshino Coffee is well known for its hand dripped coffee and the fluffy souffle pancakes. And I heard that Hoshino Coffee also served good japanese style pasta,
