Snowflakes

Dolce Toyko- A Japanese x Italian Café that's located in 313 Somerset. Visited the café a few days before since it always look so beautiful, their menus is rather extensive so I took awhile before choosing a dessert to share with my friend! 

We ordered the Mixed Berries Kakigori! It comes with vanilla ice cream, mixed berries, Japanese Mochi and strawberry syrup sauce. - $10 , super ultra delicious though I didn't eat the vanilla ice cream at all, I tend to prefer to eat the shaved iced with fruits instead the ice cream. 

The interior of the store looks pretty decent, it feel like the half modern half classic type which looks really great. 

Had the Korean BBQ Buffet over at I'm KIM , the recently newly open one near the art school. The usual price cost about $22.90 per person but if we finish before the stated time then it's $20.90 per person instead. 

The buffet have a wide selection of meat and other cooked Korean food! Plus the store even have ginseng soup (it doesn't taste as great as the outside one but it still can do) . The staff is rather friendly there always assisting us whenever possible by getting the sauces and everything. 

Then we went over to see more stores, this one is located over at Dhoby Ghaut. It's something similar to a bookstore concept but the store sell more quirky and interesting stuff- interesting books, tools and pretty decoration. 

I really adore designs like this because it look so adorable (if only I can decorate my room and make it look so cute and perfect) . 

That's all for today! (: it's a great day to go around town to hunt for Valentine's Day gift, here's a photo of the evening sky which I took that probably look a bit like the marshmallows and ice cream combine. 

Thank you for reading (: x

Awkward Situation You Faced a During Festive Gathering?

Hey guys! Recently I just had my festive celebration (Chinese new year) and after gathering much insight from all my cousins and friends about awkward situation that everyone faced. I'm sure everyone have festive gathering now and then (it can be the new year, Christmas, thanksgiving day and so on) so you guys can basically relate. 

#The Busy-Body

The aunt or uncle that always ask you "are you married yet" or "when are you gonna get marry or find a boyfriend ?" . Some of my cousins get that especially when they're around the age of 24++ , its like " say what???" 

Asking the same question during every festive season when everyone meet up is absolutely not gonna make them get marry any faster. Not sure whether to die in embarrassment or hide in a hole cause "all I have is myself" "I am so gonna marry myself" 

People need to take a chill pill. 

#2 The Fashion Critics 

That one person that judge your outfit choice during the festive celebration. "Your skirt is too short" "oh this top is too revealing" "are you seriously wearing that?" . NO NO NO, hold on for like 5 seconds. This is a festive celebration, not another brand new series of fashion critics series.
The awkward situation which you don't know to be polite or tear off the person face. 

#3 The  Showoffs 

The one that always show off about everything, it can be about their kids-things that owned- even their cats or basically just anything. This one is tricky, it make you stuck in the middle of trying to be nice and listen or be like I'm so done with all the half made up stories. 

#The Foodie 

The person that keep offering you food after food after food and well just more food. They obviously give with good intention but everyone's tiny tummy have a limit! It create the awkward situation of not knowing how to reject, it's like " yeahhh it looks so yummy but nooooo" "I can't take it anymore" without hurting their feelings or appear rude.
Well, you know how it ends. (Yeah, it all ends up in the tummy and the increased waistline). 

That's all for now, hope you guys enjoy this post! (: don't take it too seriously because it's meant to be read just for fun because we all just wanna have fun during the festive season. 

Stay true, stay happy! 

 

Birdie's Magazine January

Hey! This week I'm back with a new section for my blog, known as " Birdie's Monthly Magazine" which talks about my monthly favorite which consists of - Fashion- Lifestyle- Books- Foods 

This whole month of January passes by in a blink of an eye, it's so fun-filled! So let's get started ❤️

My first favourite of the month "creatures of creation" from typo, bought by my brother as a gift! I absolutely adore this because of the exotic designs and this allow my mind to wander when I do the colouring. 

Every girl need a good lip balm to make their lip look tasty (kidding) but seriously who won't love a good lip balm that look so adorable? This is my make-up favourite that I bought during my Macau trip, it smell like strawberry and taste like strawberry. Love the cute donut design ~ 

I'm obsessed with pastel purple nails lately after getting my hands on some pastel purple nail polish from sasa in Macau! It's only $3 per polish and the Color is in such a pretty shade. So I'm trying to find different nail art design to try out~ 

Leopard Prints Make-Up Brushes ❤️, this is the first set of make-up brushes that I have which I bought during my trip too! It's only $5-$8 per set and the prints on the brushes look stunning~

For fashion, I love this 3 sets of simple outfits which I put together during the month of January. I'm always a big fans of simple and clean design that doesn't take too much effort but still look on point .

This will be my favourite high tea set, which I had over at Macau! It simply tasted so amazing and it's 3 tiers so it win all the other high tea set that I had for this whole month. 

More about it which you can read in my Macau x Hong Kong travelling post! 

For location! I love this selfie coffee café which I visited recently for their peaceful ambience and greenery design that's pleasing to the eyes, it's a must visit place if you guys ever visit Singapore. ❤️

I talk about it during the last last post, so you guys can check it out for more detail! 

As for books and cards, I love " sense & sensibility " and " Emma" it's both an English Literature books. I love the plot twist in sense & sensibility which I absolutely didn't see the ending coming but the whole book can be a bit draggy and had too much conversation going on but it's good for passing time. 

As for "Emma" I love how the aunthor portray the female character into someone that's daring, that believe in match-making and doesn't think she will ever fall in love but in the end she did and it was with someone totally unexpected ? This kind of book is good for readers to think over, so book reader can absolutely try reading the book. 

That's all for the month of January, hope you guys like this edition of the magazine. (: you can also see the video version on my YouTube channel ❤️ 

Thank you for reading! 

Things that girls hate to hear

Been thinking about some stuff lately so I decided to blog about list of things girls hate to hear, well the first one of my list :

#1 You Put On Too Much Make Up ?

Literally! I am sure girls that do make-up can relate with me on that, when someone make a remark saying " you put on too much make-up" or " your make up is too thick" it literally just wanna make me go like " seriously ? what did you just say" . Like excuse me, make up is being apply on my face for a reason to make me look presentable and who are you to tell me how much is enough?
I didn't know that there's actually a scale to measure how much make-up is being put on. 

#2 Why are you xxx wanna-be? 

There's always that one person that you knew before or you have someone around you like that saying stuff that assume that you are trying to be like a style or something like that ? " Why are you so Kylie wanna-be" or " Why are you so korean-wanna be" . There's a distinct difference between wanna be someone and just liking and looking up towards a certain style, it annoys me to the maximum when someone cannot differentiate that.
Wanna-be is literally when you do plastic surgery to look exactly like the person or worst case scenario talking and acting exactly like the person. So let's say we both have the same top ? (does that mean you wanna be me ? )

Ugh ugh no way. 

#3 OMG You Look Fatter Than The Last Time I Saw You! 

I have yet to meet people like that in life but gosh if you don't remember what I wore the last time we meet , you better not comment about my weight. Like seriously, what if people gain weight? As long as they are happy it's fine and don't you think the person actually do realize it and totally don't need you to point that out!
This bring me to my next point: 

#4 WHY Are You So Thin? You Need To Eat More! 

I totally get it that some people are concern about maybe my weight and probably I look too thin? That's fine but it's not fine when people assume I do not eat any food at all because well I do, I eat and I eat a lot (more than you can imagine actually) . I don't hate that people ask or stuff but well guys let's just eat and not get concern about others weight (life is easier that way) 

Well, that's all I can think about for stuff that girls hate to hear! Hope you guys enjoy my tiny little rants about life, till next time. x 

Hatched & Selfie

Hello guys! I'm back with my café hopping blogpost that's pretty much lacking from my blog recently, finally had the time to wander around different cafés and visit some new cafés which look pretty different from the usual one. We even had the chance to have our face printed on our tea. So read on to find out more 💕

The first café we visited was "Hatched" café over at Holland Village, it's interior design is so pretty. Love the vintage ambience design that circle around the eggs theme, yeah! This café sell everything that's eggs related: poached Eggs, Sunny-side up, scramble eggs and runny eggs? 

I ordered the " create your own eggs" , which cost $16. I had the sunny side up since I dislike eating poached eggs or any other eggs. I can choose among the bacon, sausages and ham so I choose sausages. 

This dish comes with complimentary tea or coffee, as a tea lover! I had earl grey as a drink. I think it's a super worth it set. 

This is the condiment, salt. So adorable? 

Hello to the next café we visited, selfie coffee? It's like an absolutely hidden café that's newly open (I think) over at bugis area. You can order any drinks from their list that doesn't necessary need to be coffee and can take a photo with the iPod they provided and then the selfie will be printed on the foam?! I was so excited to order the drink and see how it turn out. 

Drinks: $8.50 (Cold) - Thai Milk Tea 

We also ordered the prata ice cream to try it out since it looks really delicious on the photo. 

This café is more like the jungle, forest theme that have all the greenery designs that feel comforting to be around. I'm so in love with the designs and settings, honestly speaking it's consider the top few café that I considered pretty. 

Prata Ice-Cream, the prata is really crispy and the chocolate made the whole thing taste so sweet and hype. 

The highly raved over selfie drink that I'm so hyped about, it's perfect. It look just like the photo and totally not deform, even after drinking till the end as long as you don't stir the drink the photo will always be there? The Thai Milk Tea taste really sweet and yummy too. 

With my babe 💕

Overall, I had a really fun day café hopping around. Can't wait to try out more cafés since I saw a few that look really beautiful and have really good theme and design. 

Thank you for reading.
