Dazzling Cafe - SG Newest Article mE-♥

 
It's a 6.5/10 for me. I guess I had an expectation but it turned out to be just OK. They have limited main dishes to choose but they do have quite a number of dessert choices.
  
 I think the Chocolate Waffle is the BEST! The rest is just seriously alright. Toast is tough and I'm so disappointed when there isn't any overflowing of mango... and ends up like eating plain toast.
  
Some of the drinks are pretty nice. Specially this rose tea :) Overall, I think you can visit the cafe just to have this 1 time experience but is it worth the queue? NO.
OH, then again, if can, do reserve the room they have. It's pretty cosy and nice for gathering :)
 

Phuket - Flight Deal mE-♥

Deal! 2015-2016 Flight Deal!
http://www.tigerair.com/sg/en/real_deals.php
Return flight to Phuket at less than SG$100

Phuket isn't that fancy.
It does have a lot of resort here & there, its not too bad, cheaper than Bali but the transport is EX.
A ride about 15-20mins cost an average of $10 per trip. Yes, as compared to Sg, its cheaper but its Thailand. I think 30% of my budget went into the transportation.

Advice: Stay at easily accessible place! 
I chose to stay at the higher hill side for nicer scenery - Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket (5star). The walk to hotel is too much and not safe so yap, CAB CAB CAB. After I'm back I did some research and realise they have a gang that controls the fees; so no way can you expect to bargain becos they will team up. Even if they are not part of them, they wouldn't dare to offend the gang. The hotel you stay make a difference too, they will know if your hotel is 5Star = You got $ to pay.

Advice: Better don't stay at Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket
If I remb correctly, Novotel's position is good. Although its not at higher level where you can oversee the place, I believe you still can see the SEA/Beach. lol

Advice: Don't go Phuket Fantasea
Its FAKE theme park!
80% are shops trying to sell jabalang stuff and some diamonds (which you don't know if its real)
10% is the buffet thingy (I didn't try)
10% is just empty spaces and elephant rides (the ride is sooo boring and ex as compared to buying packages from outside)
The show is just crap. LOL. The opening was really cool, you see some nice stuns here and there but overall is just jabalang stuff put together. LOL

Above are things to avoid.

My ATV Ride (the best!) A MUST TRY

Elephant ride :/ I really hope they treat the elephant well.

This is part of the Phuket Fantasea, this is the exterior of the theatre, its nice. Other than that... the experience doesn't much the cost. Its about $65 and seriously not worth it!

Quite a number of waterspouts. Snorkelling is part of the package I bought :)

PS: Don't buy any packages from the airport. Go to the town and bargain. I got my package from a Chinese looking auntie, I think its good. Snorkelling, ATV & Elephant ride $60? (I forgot xP)

DIY - Sewing - Passport Holder mE-♥

First, diy sewing post, finally. Haha

My Steps:

1) Do the measurement with paper and cut them out

2) Place the paper on the cloth and cut accordingly

3) Sew the edges of each piece (3)

4) Put them together by sewing all the corners and DONE

 

BEFORE
 

AFTER

Well, in the video I mentioned that my steps are kinda wrong... and how should I avoid them :)

*DONT stitch the BIG Piece together first. You should patch the small pieces to the BIG Piece then finally seal the BIG Piece.

Hotel Deals mE-♥

Yoho. Suppose to be sharing about SEWING but here I am sharing other stuff... lol.
Anyway, I was looking at travel and hotels stuff then I recall this app which is quite good but doesnt seems to be very known yet. I havt get a chance to use it though.

I happen to know them via my school (NUS) event.

HOTELQUICK (APP) - https://www.hotelquickly.com/

Description: HotelQuickly brings you the biggest discounts on last-minute rooms, with curated hotel lists to save you time and money on the go.
- You want to consider staycation, why not try this app. OR perhaps, this comes in handy when you are out clubbing and wants to head somewhere to rest.

The discount isn't a lot but ya can consider la. THEN AGAIN, I discovered its not offering the cheapest deal. (see below)

I used same date & room type and tested out for the rates from different channel.
1) HotelQuickly 2) Their official website 3) Booking.com

HotelQuickly: I tested on Marina Mandarin. Total $271.32

 

(App offer hotels for other countries too)

Offical Website: I tried their online booking and it's $303.67

Booking.com: EVEN BETTER- $258!!

Marina Mandarin happen to be under "Today's Value Deal". Besides being cheaper, you get free breakfast and free cancellation.

Hmm, so check better to out Booking.com :)

Blog Template mE-♥

SHARING |
Here are 3 simple steps to creating blog:

Step 1: Think of a blog name
Be it related to you or some creative names, its really up to you.

Step 2: Create your own blogskin / Buy blogskin / Download blogskin
I chose to download free blogskin - Easy & FREE. Haha! I can do simple and easy HTML but I don't have the time, and I didn't want to procrastinate in doing this. I spent about 4days searching ;)
Here is where I got my skin from: http://designscrazed.org/best-free-blogger-templates/

Step 3: Start craving and writing
You still can tweak and change the template if you know abit of HTML else, I advise to start writing while you search for the blogskin you really really love. Forget about being perfectionist; its just going to end up to be procrastination. LOL

FATHER mE-♥

Okay, aside the greeting post, I'll take this as my first official post and I'll like to dedicate to my Father.

He has left us for over a year. Yes, life goes on but its really painful and its never the same.
I'm sorry I didn't do my best in doing a daughter's duty and haven't been good in showing my appreciation. I guess our family belongs to those traditional and subdue type that are bad at expressing. There are a lot of IF ONLY...
千言万语就一句Thank you for being a really responsible and thoughtful Father.

Next, what I'd like to also bring up is - Healthy Living.

My father is someone who doesn't take note of his diet, and I believe its really important.
I rather eat tasteless, awful vegetables and fruits then to take pills.

I don't really exercise so the least I want to do is to eat "appropriately"; ideally is healthy.
I have one belief now, and I stresses it - in life only with health body then can we do everything and anything under the sun. I would rather sacrifice my diet to eat un-yummy stuff and be able to do everything & anything else than to end up having to be ill & sick, make to eat horrible pills and not able to do a lot a lot a lot of things.

You weight for yourself, which is better? Eat Vege or Eat pills.

1ST GREETINGS mE-♥

Hi guys! 

Gonna embark a whole new writing journey.

Its seems quite random of me to create a blog but recently I picked up sewing and I thought of sharing my sewing journey. To make it more 'comprehensive', I guess its good to add everything and that includes my travel log, food and stuff worth sharing. haha.

Well, since a lot of my friends says I'm pretty open and adventurous in trying out things, so yap, awesomeieng blog!

So here goes. Stay tune :)
