Happy Father's Day
Sunday, June 19, 2016
I'm sorry for not updating for the longest time as I'm super damn occupied with my job. Currently I'm typing this post with a mask as I was down with a terrible cold lol.
So my social media newsfeed is overflowing with pictures of fathers today - because it's Father's Day. People going out for family celebration, throwback photos of people with their daddies...
As I'm typing this post, tbh my mind was blank. I've no idea what to say because it's the fifth year I'm spending this day without a father. I was 16 back then.
I lost my dad in a suicide (I talked about it in an old post) and it all happened too quick for me to react. Even till now, whenever I walked pass the place where he landed, my heart still skipped a beat and I'm still traumatised by that incident.
Maybe some of you can argue: "My parents divorced when I was xx age, aren't I worst than you?"
Dude, does it look like I'm trying to compare myself with you here? What I wanted to bring across is that even if your parents are divorced, you can still see them, still know that they are alive doing their own things. But for people that lose their parents like me, we would never know what they are doing right now, how they have been, and what were they thinking at their last moments.
Sometimes I ask myself, am I the only one that is affected by this for years?
What recently strikes me was that I happened to post a photo of my dad on Facebook 6 years ago and my mum was actually looking at the photo. (Well I happened to find out because she using my sister's Facebook and she accidentally tagged one of my sister's friend in the photo). I realised I'm not the only one that was missing him.
My dad was a cheerful guys whom love to make jokes. He never ever scolded me harshly, and even if he did, he would always give in to me and talk to me after 5 minutes. I respected him alot and never ever raised my volume at him. I was pretty close to him when I was young, and he would bring me round in his bicycle basket till I'm tired in the early morning like 4-5am. And because of this, there was once he had an accident and needed stitches because he hasn't have enough sleep. No matter how lousy my grades was, he would always be there to motivate me for the next exams/tests.
I feel sorry, because I was like every teenager back then, we all wanted to spend more times with our friends, the computer, the games etc. I didn't set time aside for him; all I was thinking was that I can do so in the future to repay him. But nope, I never got a chance.
His departure probably thought me how to cherish people around me more. Make time for people that are the closest to you to avoid having a life time regret like me. I also learnt that in this world, nobody will actually have the time to care about your feelings, to care about your well being except for your family and yourself. I learnt how to be independent.
I will never get another chance to have my picture taken with him, I will never get to tell him Happy Father’s Day personally. Thank you for providing me with some of the happiest moments of my life, Happy Father's Day to you daddy.

Review: Magic Eye Chocolate Lenses
Tuesday, May 17, 2016
*Sponsored post*
Hello everyone! I'm back with a new lens review!
*product picture*
For those that don't want the "overly anime-ish" look, I strongly recommend you this lens because it doesn't have the black outer rim but yet retains it enlarging and color effect, which it a very natural lens for everyday look.
Added some blue tint to look like the girl on the box that store the lenses. Got look like?! LOLOLOL.
You may think that my eyes looks kind of big in the photo, but that's because I've eyeliner on. If you wear it without eyeliner, the effect will look like this:
You can see the brown clearly under sunlight! *___*
Another shot with the Magic Eye Chocolate lenses!
I love how you can see the brown under light so clearly, and it's very suitable for everyday use due to how thin the lenses is, which means you won't feel so uncomfortable even after wearing for a long period of time.

Pom Pom Purin Cafe Singapore Review
Sunday, May 8, 2016
Hello everyone!
In today's post I'm going to be talking about my experience at the newly open Pom Pom Purin Cafe (Singapore)! Seems like lots of characters cafes are coming to Singapore... and that also means long queues, and a hole in pocket T______T
Went there on a Sunday afternoon and the queue time was about 2h.
On a side note, they could have issued queue numbers instead of letting the customers waste time standing outside to queue. I've seen cafes like Sunday folks using some sort of system in the ipad as well so customers can go walk around first and they will send a text to the customer when it's about to be their turn. Isn't it more efficient that way? hmmmm.
Lots of pom pom purin details!
And also the iconic mascot in the middle of the cafe.
The cafe wasn't as big as what I expected though, it's pretty small. Probably about 18-20 seats only?
We were lucky enough to get the sofa seats and it's pink somemore *_____*
My sister is having a hard time deciding what to eat because the ones with the cup are more expensive than those food that are mould into pom pom purin.
I went for the most expensive stuff on the menu - Carbonara Spaghetti $26.99
The portion looks kind of little from the picture, but there's actually quite alot of noodle and surprisingly, it tasted better than pastamania's one LOL. (And yes you get to bring home the pom pom purin mug!!!)
Cookies & cream vanilla latte $11.99
I wanted to get the mango soda but it's sadly out of stock :(
The drink is not bad, but the price is wayyyyyyyyyyy too much for a drink. I'm only ordering it for the coaster because you can bring home that as well HAHAHA.
Ended up my sister decided to go for the Taco Rice! ($19.99)
Stole a few bites, and I think the rice is a little too hard? I guess it need it to be solid enough to be moulded into a pom pom purin. I still prefer my spaghetti though.
The total bill added up to about $86 for 2 person, pretty expensive. But this kind of thing... you know you are only paying for the photos la hahahaha.
Ending off with a shot with the pompom purin family!
And nope, I'm not going back again because I could go for a good buffet with the amount of money spent here. However, if you're a foreigner visiting Singapore, this cafe is worth a visit :)
