Thailand-Cha Am-Santorini Park

Went to Thailand recently. One of my favourite places was this- Santorini Park, located at Cha am.

It's basically a theme park plus shopping mall, designed based on Santorini's blue and white houses. Since Greece is too far for me now, this can served as an "appetizer" before I go to the REAL Santorini. 

Entrance fee is 50baht. Ya, u have to pay to go in.

Welcomed by this lovely view!

Every turn, every corner, there's surprise.

Do climb up the ladders too! If not, you will miss these!

Even the souvenir shop is so cool!

Weather is too hot. Chilled at one of the cafés..

The carousels too!

Giant octopus

Surprises outside the toilet...!

And finally, me and the symbol of the park :)

It's not very big, but you can spend a few hours non-stop taking photos. Love every details of the park.

If you are like me, love the combination of blue and white, I'd highly recommend you to go! I really enjoyed myself there. :)

等 一个人

每个人 都在等着一个人

我就好像是阿拓学长 傻傻的 用自己的方式 寻找幸福

如果天使让我许一个愿望 我也希望要有勇气 :)

If I stay

"Sometimes you make choices in life,sometimes choices make you."

"I'd understand if you choose live, Adam love, over music love. Either way you win. And either way you lose. What can I tell you? Love's a bitch."

"It's ok if you want to go. Everyone wants you to stay. I want you to stay more than I've ever wanted anything in my life. But that's what I want and I could see why it might not be what you want. So I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It's okay if you have to leave us. It's okay if you want to stop fighting."

These are my favorite quotes, from the movie, If I Stay, taken from the book of Gayle Forman.

I admit I am a cry baby, but somehow, it really touched my heart.

Especially when Adam sang Heart Like Yours and finally Mia opened her eyes. (Spoiler alert!)

"Breathe Deep, Breathe Clear , know that I'm here, know that I'm here

waiting
Stay strong, stay go
you don't have to fear, you don't have to fear

waiting
I, see you soon, I'll see you soon"

Not too great story, but if you are now stuck in a situation and you don't know how to make a life decision, you should watch this movie, ha. 

If I stay or if I leave, it's my decision.

P/S: Gonna download the soundtracks soon! They are good!

Hello world!

Boyhood

"Wanna catch a movie? Ninja turtles? Lucy?" These are the hot movies now. But Boyhood is not known to many. 

A movie about a young boy grows into young man. 

The actors really grows up in the movie, they meet every year for 12 years to film this. 

And really, watching it is like watching through a life of his, thinking about how my life's been. Ordinary, but real. Worth your 164 minutes in it. :)

I specially like this scene.

“You know how everyone’s always saying seize the moment?” A girl whom Mason just met asks. “I don’t know, I’m kind of thinking it’s the other way around, you know, like the moment seizes us.”
He replies, “Yeah, I know, it’s constant, the moments, it’s just — it’s like it’s always right now, you know?” Then they look straight into camera, smile. 

Nutella & GO! Drink

Found it in Singapore finally!

It's as good as I thought it will be, though slightly expensive. 

Cheaper alternative will be getting a big tub of Nutella and pokky sticks and dip it in the tub! Haha. 

But it's so cool and convenient with drink in it!

Fan of Nutella, what r u waiting for? :p

It's available in Choco Express. There are a few outlets to choose!

Part of Growing Up

Saw this article online.

六年前，你问我：“如果有一天我和别人结婚了，你怎么办？” 　　

Six years ago, you asked me,"if one day I get married with someone else, what will you do?"

我说“你敢，弄死你，哈哈” 

I said,"You dare? I will kill u, haha"

你搂过我，亲了一下，笑着说：“我哪可能娶别人啊” 

You hug me, and kiss me, saying,"how would I marry someone else?"

四年前，你又问：“如果有一天我和别人结婚了，你怎么办？” 　

Four years ago, you asked me again,"if one day I get married with someone else, what will you do?"

“如果有那天，我一辈子不嫁，一直等你” 

"If there's this day, I will wait for you and not getting married."

你搂过我，抱的很紧。

You hug me, very tightly.

六年后的今天 你又问：“如果有一天我和别人结婚了，你怎么办？” 　　

Today, after 6 years, you asked me again,"if one day I get married with someone else, what will you do?"

我坐在你的旁边，看着你的眼睛，很平静的说：“找个人嫁了，结婚。” 　 

I sit beside u, look at ur eyes, said calmly,"Find someone else, marry him."

你却说：“你不爱我了？” 

U said,"You don't love me anymore?"　

“对，你都跟别人结婚了，都不要我了，我还爱你干什么，爱和不爱有区别吗?”

"Yea, you already married, you don't want me anymore, why should I love u still? Love or not, does it make a difference?"

末了，我还说了句：“放心，如果有那一天，我肯定不等你"

I added,"Don't worry, if that day comes, I will not wait for u."

Not that we don't love anymore, it's part of the growing up process.

Only time will tell what's really yours.

In the mean time, life's short, just be happy :)

Miracle in cell no. 7

A Korean movie recommended by friend. If you wanna watch it, set aside 2 hours alone. Because you gonna cry like crazy.

Main setting is at the prison, cell no. 7, a story about an intellectually impaired father and his super cute and sunshine daughter. And a bunch of bad guys in prison, they may have commited a crime, it doesn't mean they are bad all the time. 

Life is unfair. Really unfair, especially after watching this movie. But we cannot blame it. That's our fate. Live with it, positively and happily, u will see the rainbow after the rain.

I shall skip the story and let you watch it.

Find it on YouTube! And prepare lots of tissues. Haha.

My kind of week ;)

I have to say I m not an alcoholic. It's just another happening week! :)

Many Cheers! 

And remember to look into the other drinkers' eyes as it's rude, according to German's toasting culture.

it's believed to attract 7 years of bad.......

Haha

Google it if u don't believe :p

National Day Dinner on Level 43

It's 49th national day of Singapore.

But the main point is the fireworks! Haha

We went to this restaurant called Zafferano, an Italian fine dining place on level 43. The whole setting was cool, comfortable. The alfresco area is why people heading here, to have a view from top for the fireworks! 

This was how it looked like, the night view. I thought MBS higher than level 43, but it seems not so high actually. 

It's menu of the day.

And of course, the food!!!

The oyster was very juicy, with the lemon sherbet, it's perfect match.

Lobster! My first time eating it!!! Taste like prawn but chewy.

Didn't pay too much attention to it, because I was anxiously waiting for fireworks!

And.... Da da! 

It started! 

Forgive my shaking hands... Too excited!

Can't stop taking photos...

I did not take the whole 15 minutes.

I wanted to leave some time to really enjoy the moment. Looking around, people are so taking photos/videos. Is it for their Facebook/Instagram, like me? Or is it for capturing the moment like today, with the loved ones beside them?

Fireworks is short, in-the-moment thing, like how u fall in love. But, it's so so so beautiful! I can never get tired of watching them, feeling so happy when I m in the world of love. :)

And continue my dinner from there is the main course. Cod fish. 

The fish actually tasted so sweet! OMG. No wonder this is the MAIN course.

And my favourite of the meal- dessert!

How I felt about tonight?

It's enjoyable, but definitely not worth the price. 

Btw, show my OOTN (outfit of the night)!

Banana Overnight Oats

Finally it's August!

Make a good breakfast, so fulfilling~

Ingredient:

2/3 cup oats

2/3 cup whole milk

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix all this together in a container and left it overnight in a fridge, took out in the morning, placed sliced banana and whole grain cereal. *Dang lang!* Done! 

I am making Banana Oats, as this is the easiest out of all the fruits :p

Some facts about Oats:

No fat, lots of fiber, zero cholesterol, which can help to lower blood cholesterol, makes u feel full.. etc

Good and cheap!

If u don't know what to eat for breakfast or rush every morning to work, hmmmm, try this?

Don't skip breakfast! It makes u stupid-er. Hahaha!

I "just want coffee" now

When u feeling tired, what will u do? 

I used to not drinking coffee. Maybe is the side effect of growing up, or maybe coffee culture has been going too strong that it's cool to drink coffee now :p

This cafe, is in an industrial park. Ya, it's renovated from a factory. 

This is how it looks from outside:

Once u stepped in it, "WOW!" It's nothing like a factory u will imagine. So nicely decorated and u can smell the fragrance of the coffee. 

Their original latte was good. But I definitely love their tiramisu and waffles! If you have sweet tooth, you will love them too! Do they look good? 

Original latte: 

When you feel tired, you need a good coffee to wake u up, you also need yummy desserts to brighten up ur day! :)

Find a day when u "just want coffee"!
