Hello I'm ZY. My friends call me ZINGGGGG, and I assume it's because they pronounced my name too quickly.
I eat a lot, sleep a lot, slack a lot. But I still get down to work when I have "feel".
That's pretty much about me, read on to know more!

So.. I just got back from Taipei (and all those posts about Tokyo are still in draft lol), and something just hit me; it seems that there's a similarity in places I love:- the people. Taipei & Tokyo specifically, from the Asian countries, because I haven't been to any "angmoh" countries so I'm not a good judge.. They're really polite and courteous, at least the majority of them.. You can just chat up any of them, or they will start talking to you. Everyone is so friendly, and the environment is just so welcoming and all the positive vibes in the air. A little girl can just talk to me and told me to "jiayou" while I was trying to catch giraffes at the arcade (ikr lol), I can also talk to the aunties selling fruits at their stalls.. I guess it really matters with whom you're working with in future, not just all about "I'm doing what I love".. A little confession here, I used to not be bothered when I skip classes (oopss I didn't just say that hahah :/), but this time round, I was a little sad that I was going to miss a week of classes.. now that the acad year is halfway through, I better treasure time spent with my dear classmates!! That's about it I guess, till then! XD xoxo Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.10 posted on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 @ 9:34 PM | 0 comment(s) | add a comment.
So besides the checklist, I've been meeting all my friends! It's like a cycle.. schedule schedule schedule, meet, repeat all over again. Totally reminded me of this word-post about friends few posts back. So I'm glad I met up for quite a few times with all of them this holiday. Recently I had this bit of "realisation" - it's those who were there in the process, not those who were at the end who matters. Even though you may be a good friend of mine, too late of an "appearance" for too many occasions will make me question our "status quo".. Even though there weren't very very major changes (e.g. migrating) in my life these few months, there were still quite a bit of significant changes.. School starting tomorrow doesn't mean that I have to stop all the fun, it just meant I have to further improve my time management to juggle between everything & to strike a perfect balance. Keeping that in mind, because too extreme of anything will have an opposite adverse effect. So dear friends, if I'm going too far out for anything, please catch me back! Looking forward to bump into many many old friends in school this year. People whom you go to school with matter a lot too eyy? Heh ;) Last but not least I hope #project2014 will materialise :D Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.10 posted on Wednesday, September 4, 2013 @ 1:09 PM | 0 comment(s) | add a comment.

Cafe hopping
Cafes have been an uprising trend in Singapore, with more new cafes popping up and making a name for themselves.
My friends and I have always loved cafes and we love to chill out there, because we value catching up above shopping and all nowadays. So chilling at cafes with food is a major plus point.. Because we love love love food!! :P
I've been hitting cafes a lot, especially recently now that it is holiday period, which means even more catching up, and with more friends! Pretty glad that I've practically met everyone I'm "supposed" to meet. Yay! And since I've been frequenting these places, I thought I shall just write a post about those I went!
Disclaimer: No discrimination! Whatever I wrote is based on my own opinions. Photos wise, I took more at certain places and maybe just a shot or 2 at some.
Disclaimer 2: The emoji ":P" in this entire post practically means yummz instead of bleah! Hehe.
Carpenter And Cook
19 Lorong Kilat, #01-06, 598120
Nice and quaint place, and I love the deco! The entrance gave those European-vintage feeling, y'know those stand alone brick and mortar shops?
I had the iced mocha/coffee (haha can't remember) which was alright but not exceptional, and I love L's iced chocolate! It was thick and very delicious :P
We shared this Banoffee Tart (whose name probably originated from the flavors of the tart - Banana & Coffee) and Lemon Meringue Cake! Both are really good, but I love the Banoffee Tart more, because the twist between banana, coffee & caramel(inside) is purely genius.
Windowsill Pies
78 Horne Rd
Singapore 209078
Went to this place over a weekend and it was crowded! But thankfully we still managed to get seats.. As what the name says, this place is known for pies! We had coffee and ordered pies to share! Went to this place 2 months ago, and as you know how bad my memory is with names, I forgot what flavors they were. :/
Via their webby, I found out that one of them was the strawberry lemon pie, but I really cannot figure out the second..
P.S. Cafe
LEVEL 2. PALAIS S.C
390 ORCHARD ROAD
This "cafe" needs no introduction! I'm sure most people have already tried it, either the mains or desserts. Am craving for some truffle fries right now, :#
As much as we love the food and desserts, it's kinda on the pricey side, and even if we wanted to go for their desserts, we have to think twice because they have the "minimum 1 order from each person" policy, and their desserts are like hugeeeee
Arbite
66A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555962
All day breakfast! Haven't had it for some time, hence craving for it. Breakfast & poached eggs were both alright, not excellent. Milkshakes on the other hand are nice!!
Mad for Garlic
#01-16, Clarke Quay The Foundry, 3B River Valley Road
J & I shared the signature garlic pizza as well as the pasta! The garlic pizza is nice, but I think they kinda "emphasized" too much on their bistro's name.We also ordered soda drinks, mine was the red wine soda, which tasted veryyy good!
We had this Baileys Tiramisu cake in a jar at the basement of Central, and it was good! Great concept of selling them in tins, so it's also easy to distribute and a little something different..
Chock full of beans
Blk 4 Changi village road #01-2090
Singapore 500004
This place, is so near my place! Been there for quite a few times, and always loved their coffee! Tried their brunch and wraps before, and it was good too! My favorite was the Caramel Brulee (if I didn't remember wrongly). There's a crust of caramel on top, and latte below. Definitely go back there, since it's so near yet not that crowded! Oh yes, and it is just a stone throw away from Coastal Settlement!
Wimbly Lu
15-2, Jalan Riang
Singapore 358987
Finally, we're here at this place, after wanting to come since forever!We wanted to try the waffles, but we were so stuffed from brunch so we decided to just order the tiramisu and their signature root beer cake.
Tiramisu was very good and I'm lovin' it! Root beer cake is not too bad, but the chocolate brownie just wasn't as smooth as what I had expected. The "dressing", which is the root beer, is really good!
Tiong Bahru Bakery
56 Eng Hoon St #01-70
Singapore 160056
Another cafe which I believe most have already tried! (there's one at Raffles City! but we went to the one at Tiong Bahru that day haha) My friends call this "atas bread" because majority are at least 7/8 bucks each? We ordered this chocolate lava cake to share, and it was not bad! Digestive biscuit base, something unusual.
Max Brenner Chocolate Bar
8 Raffles Avenue, #01‐06/08 Esplanade Mall
Singapore 039802
This is one of the best chocolate lava cake I had. 'Nuff said. :]
Strangers' Reunion
33/35/37 Kampong Bahru Road
Singapore 169354 The cakes here are soooo good! I don't take strawberry flavor, cheese cakes or green tea (except in Japan hahaha) but they are really good! The cheese cake, so fluffy! Not those which you'll get gelat after a while. Matcha cake too! Chocolate cake's nice too. Coffee's too bitter for all of us. I ordered "Magic" but I honestly don't know what so magical about it. LOL
Penny University
402 East Coast Road
Singapore 428997
Penny Uni opened last quarter in 2012, and I went there shortly after it opened and went there again recently! They serve unique hot food, of which, I had Turkish (poached) eggs! Had the Rosette pie the other time, it was blueberry/berries flavored if I didn't remember wrongly, and I love how pretty it is! Tastes good too! & oh, yes their cutesy teapot too! :P
That's pretty much the end of my post on cafes! Oh, and let me add on one more new ice cream joint in town! Apparently they already had a few outlets! The texture's really smooth! I was trying to google details about this, but there isn't much details at all. Apparently it is considered as fine dining in some countries? Hmm interesting..
