Just some photos of the various things I wore in my latest trip abroad. I would have titled this post as "Europe Lookbook" but you know, #brexit happened. This post is super random, considering how I've not updated this space for close to a year. But... I was in the mood to indulge in a little narcissism tonight. Might do a throwback post for the outfits I wore when I visited Turkey back in 2015. In the meantime, hope everyone has been doing well :)

So I discovered that I miraculously have no meetings today. Rushed home after school to... slack, ha-ha. Have not slacked in quite a long time so I'm very thankful for being able to stretch lazily in bed, with the air conditioning blasting on a warm Monday afternoon. I even had time to play around with my blog HTML and edit the template a little. Felt that it was time for some change, but not too much of course, ha-ha. Okay, back to more bumming around before facing the harsh realities of tomorrow.

This place definitely wasn't our first choice of brunch location on Saturday. After our morning class, Coco and I had planned on going to The Fabulous Baker Boy. Oh goodness, I am completely hopeless with Google Maps. After spending close to 20 minutes in the sweltering heat, stomping around trying to follow instructions, we ended up hoping in a cab to avoid further aimless wandering. Much to our horror and dismay (more of the former), the cafe is closed for renovations till March. RAGE.

I suggested Boomarang Bistro & Bar instead. I read about it on Lady Iron Chef's blog before and the place was also somewhere in the vicinity. We both decided to order the Smoked Salmon Brioche with Poached Eggs (accompanied with Tomato Salsa, Peppercorn Cream Cheese & Hollandaise Sauce) and I've honestly got to say, this was one of the worst poached eggs I've ever had. The yolk was cooked all the way through and it's the first time I've had hollandaise sauce served in the same consistency as mayonnaise. The brioche tasted like no other brioche I've tasted before and the only redeeming thing about this dish was the tomato salsa. Wouldn't recommend anyone going to this place and if you do go, order something else besides what we got. On the plus side, at least the meal photographs well?


Scouted around the place briefly after our meal in search for a nice backdrop to take an OOTD photo, ha-ha. Here's me in a semi-candid moment, trying to take photos of random architecture. Didn't have as much time as I would have liked to explore the place more because I had to rush home to get ready for a birthday party later on that evening. Still, I guess there's always another time when I can go back to take more photos, LOL. A friend recommended another cafe, Anthesis, that's around the area and I want to give it a try one day.


Hope everyone had a great weekend. Drink up and get enough rest! People around seem to be falling ill and we all want to stay healthy to enjoy CNY right? Been chugging lots of cooling tea, ha-ha.

I felt like I should fill this post with some words instead of constantly doing photo entries, ha-ha. I'm lazy like that. These pictures were taken during Sunday brunch with the family. Glad my ASOS orders have finally arrived, just in time for CNY. I slightly regret buying one of the tops though, the neck hole is really loose and it looks bad on me =/ Ah well, got to make it work I suppose. Got my hair done at last today - it needs some getting use to and definitely a lot more high maintenance now that I've got it permed backwards so I can achieve the backcomb look more easily. If I don't properly blow dry my hair after I shower, I look like I escaped from a mental institution. Photos of my new hair style possibly in a separate post, we'll see. Kind of swamped with school stuff right now, even though there really isn't THAT much going on yet. I'm just a bit overwhelmed and burnt out already. I know, it's only Week 03! Here's hoping I can stick to my 2014 improvements.
