Café Hops in M'sia 3.0 (PJ edn.)

 "There is no sincere love than the love of food."

- George Bernard Shaw -

    It's been a tough and rough month for me during the middle and end of July to be honest. I almost lost my passion for everything especially in writing but with the help of my closest friends and family; I was able to piece my life back together bit by bit again somehow and someway or another. Be it having to dwell a little on my past favorite moments to make myself smile & comfort myself a little and not be sad or just trying to put on a fake smile in front of everyone so they wouldn't worry about me too much. To tell you the truth, I'm still struggling & I bet it will take quite awhile for me to lose the pain BUT "It's okay, I'll be fine.", "Maybe it's just not the right time", "Let's wait for the right time then" is what I tell myself every single day and night with a naive hope that I carry in my heart in order for me to live now.

"Why do I live?"

"God gave you this life because He knew you were strong enough to live it."

This post is dedicated to myself and those who are having a hard time living life. It's a short reflection but it means a lot. More words don't mean it has more meaning; it's how you 'word' them that creates the meaning of what you want to portray.

"Why do I live?" 

    We often ask ourselves that question right? We only knew how to survive just to be alive but we had no idea why are we struggling to live a life in a society that's so cruel and messed up, a place so big that somehow and sometimes it made us felt small and defeated. We tend to feel so small and fragile and after for a while, DEPRESSION, ANXIOUSNESS & FEAR comes into the picture in our lives. But.. WHY? Why are we living a life that some people might just call it 'robot' or 'systematic' life? I don't know about you but I had these thoughts running through my mind from time to time. IRONIC huh?

4 MUST to-do things in NYC

    I know it's been quite awhile now since I came back from the States BUT U.S.A is still my ALL TIME favorite country and I would LOVE to go there again just because I still haven't had enough of it HAHAHA.

    To some of the people I know, you might say 'I haven't even visited yet' and here's my answer: You are able if you continue to believe in yourself and work hard to save those money for another 6-8 years time cause that's what I've been doing ever since I got back from the States. Do you understand my GREAT love and passion for U.S.A now? ;) Here's a picture of the city view!

    During my trip to the States, New York City was and always will be my top places that I want to visit even if it means again and again. I only went once so I do regret we weren't able to explore a 100% around NYC but I do know a few things that we must do when you're in NYC so here are some of my MUST to do list when you're in NYC:

What is true love?

"Love is bitter yet addictive; just like caffeine"

     What does true love feels like? Having butterflies in your stomach? Tingling feels when you see him/her? Nerve wrecking experiences when you knew its' just a few more hours till you're gonna meet him? Well, for me its different I guess; at least that's what I think it is.

     What is true love? To be honest, I still can’t understand 100% completely. I can never say I'm a love expert too. But for me true love isn’t about materials, it isn’t about appearances either. It’s about kindness, loyalty, going the extra miles for that someone and the random acts of those kindnesses. Well, you all might think the definition of kindness is being kind and considerate to the other opposite but in this particular aspect; it’s totally different. 

A French Indulgence

    "The smell of freshly baked pastries, friendly waiters & a lovely indulgence with a close friend of yours are what makes the day satisfying." 

    Well, here's a picture of me (taken by Jia Ai, xoxo) trying to pretend being candid with a messy hair while sipping on my Raspberry Lemonade drink. It was one of the most 'refreshing' shots that my friend had taken of me (if you get my pun. pfft.).

Ugly Location Photoshoot Challenge

Hey everybody! xoxo It's finally June and I do hope ya'll are having a great 1st day of June while reading my blog heh. :) 

    If ya'll have not known me, I'm a girl who lacks confidence in herself and is SUPER camera-shy in every way possible; whenever you point your lens towards me, I will cover my face as fast as I can by reflex. BUT just two days ago, I've agreed and challenged myself with the 'Ugly Location Photoshoot Challenge' where one goes to a place they think its ugly and would take pictures there and try to come out with a picture that doesn't look ugly AT ALL. It's actually quite a trend right now if you watch it on Youtube. Well, I wouldn't call it an ugly location in my case; I rather call it an unexpected place to take pictures at (In other words, its not a location that we would want to take our portraits at.). But my boyfriend and I decided to take up the challenge just because we wanted to try something new and also I want to improve my camera-shy personality. I would try my best to pose as natural as I can as he shoots with his Nikon camera. you can check out his Instagram account here.
