Counting down to...a mere 6 more weeks in Orlando.

Ahoy mates!
Pardon my sailor-mode talking guys, all influenced by Typhoon Lagoon.
Well, what can I say.
I really love my workplace so much, and not forgetting my co-workers.
THEY ARE AMAZING.

I really do appreciate the days that I spend most of mine with them on my off days, not just during our working hours.
Not to say that I am just hanging around with them but of course with my fellow Singaporean mates too!


Will you die for some New York Cheesecake pancakes?
Filled with cheesecake bits and chunks in your pancakes, that's the way to go!


This...was some roasted chicken/turkey food that my friends got.
Well I wouldn't say it's fantastic because I don't really eat much of such food well I'm at IHOP,
some may order because they have really some good mash potatoes out there.
Thumbs up for that!


Banana Strawberry crepe
*ba-na-na, na-na-na-na*


Blueberry fever for me!


But nothing beats the company here!

Welcome to Yogi Bear's estate.
Nah I'm kidding hah.
If you've been following me on Instagram, yup you've guessed it!
This is Fort Wilderness Lodge.
It looks so Harry Potter-ish like that I couldn't take my eyes off it.
It was amaaaaaaaazing!

The price was amazing too.
But I managed to pop by one of the bars in the resort to try out some of their amazing desserts.

Starting off with some mushroom-y, creamy
Smokey Portobello Soup, topped with chive oil and croutons(my fav!)
I personally dislike creamy stuff, such as carbonara, cream soup and stuff like that.
This was exceptionally good!
Despite the fact that it got saltier the more you tasted it.
The croutons were a must to go along with such a creamy base, how I wished I had a basket of bread to go along with this soup because that would be purrrr-fect!



Served up next was our so-called fondue, which we would normally guess it to be chocolate fondue and stuff.
WRONG.


What came was a basket full of artisan breads and sliced up apples,


cheese fondue.
My biggest regret cause I dislike cheese :(
But nevertheless, if you love cheese,
GO FOR THIS!


Dip dip dip dip!



That's me with poor eyebags and circles.
Sobs.


Mel mel meowlissa.


How can you end your meal without some sweet treats?
Sweet & sour raspberry cobbler was remarkable for my meal.
The highlight of the day.
With the slight sourish raspberries & blackberries, topped of with raspberry sherbet ice cream and a warm fuzzy cake at the bottom, this was the most amazing cobbler till date.
Or rather, I have a huge FETISH over warm desserts because I love how it just melts into your mouth!
With a sweet fuzzy taste.
Mmmhmmm.
So good.
So warm.
So sweet.
Lovely.

--------------------------------

Probably every vacation is an enjoyable one.
But a 3 months vacation, probably not.
Well, I'm not really on "vacation" as I have to work and stuff like that, but it's close enough.
There are ups and downs, which I'm trying to overcome and cope with it.
But sometimes there's times that I wish I could just breakdown, cry it all out and say "That's it."
I'm done with it.

1 more month to go.
Back to my warm fuzzy bed, lovely home, precious family, lovely friends and cousins.
Back with my favorite Singapore food.
With my usual MRT train rides and buses.
Familiar faces, places and serenity.
The buzzing city.

Yes, I can do this.
1 more month to bear with.
Let's go.
Meanwhile, I'm going to try capturing all the picture-perfect moments here for you guys.
Stay tuned.

goodnight,
cynnie :)

Updates from Sunny Florida, Orlando!

it has been officially a month since being here.
Away from Singapore and family for a month,
it felt like infinity.


If you could possibly remember how International House of Pancakes used to exist in Singapore,
this was the ultimate love of mine.
I have a huge weakness for pancakes.
Give me pancakes and let me swoon over it.




It was a crazy night over one of our cultural events, "off to Neverland Welcome Party."
it was crazy crowded,
crazily awesome,
one of the best experience EVER.

With pizza and drinks, music all night long.
Can things get any better?
the company <3


----------------------


I would be cheating myself if I said I wasn't feeling homesick.
Every single time that I pop by a food plaza in Orlando,
and if Asian food is available,
I can never get away from it.
NEVER.
Except for Taco Bells :p



Such sceneries are simply amazing.
Fluffy clouds, greeneries.
Peaceful silence.
No busy traffic, no honking sounds.
My life has seemingly slowed down here.




I-Ride Trolley!
Being pretty much famous for the International Drive, you would not want to miss out on the I-ride trolley!
It brings you down the whole stretch of International Drive, unbelievably good and convenient for residents like us without cars!



Even the buses looks different!




Some Thai food cravings on the way to being satisfied!


Tom Yum Goong at about 5.99USD
Hot & spicy, authenticity level 90%.
Worth the price even though portion was small!


Basil pork with rice anybody?
One of the most popular dish for Thai food.
Sauce was superb with rice, but pork could have been minced instead of slices as it was a tad more tough and drier :(
But it was a thumbs up anyway!


Phad Thai.
Something that I can never miss out for Thai food.
Just reminds me of stir-fried kway teow in Singapore oh noo :(
okay cyn, enough of home-sickness.


my classic unglamorous table shot of all the food.
I can feel myself salivating while I was blogging about it.
Anyone wants to meet me for thai food when I get back in Singapore?
Pretty please ?? :P

That's all for now guys!

More updates soon & missing all of you guys!
especially some of the most important people of my life.

goodbye,
cynnie.

Shopping in... another way.

Ahoy all online shoppers!
If shopping has been your best way to kill time, you wouldn't want to miss this post of mine!
Are you big fans of brands such as New Look, Aldo, Converse, Dip Drops or even American Apparel etc, iPrice Singapore is definitely a web for you to do so!


Simple, yet easy to navigate through the various tabs, categories.
ohmygod, for a dumb people like me, I will definitely need webs like this to do online shopping.
DEFINITELY.
Hahaha.

Oh and look what I spotted in a split second!
One of my favourite street style brand - Stussy!


Besides just shopping, if you ever need any fashion inspiration,
no fear because iPrice are more than willing to share with you some of their fashion inspirations!


Yay and that's ME!
Back with #newlooksg the other time with omy.sg
Pardon me but I'm so honoured to be featured on iPrice looks #IPCLOOKS!

If you would love to be featured and show the others on your fashion sense, why not instagram your photos with #IPCLOOKS and who knows?
You might be the next one!
I will be keeping an eye on that :P

If iPrice isn't enough for your shopping needs, and Zalora does...
why not check out iPrice coupons?
Providing daily/weekly coupons for you,
you're in for a big SAVING time!

And in terms of big, well,
you could at least save a few bucks for a good meal.
I promise.

So...for a lazy bum like me.
Who doesn't like online shopping.
*you can see from the day to day clothes I wear, not much difference seen HAHA*
iPrice was good enough for me to still navigate through my favourite brands without hitting the streets!
Bad thing is...I start accumulating all my fats at home.
And burn my fats while staring at iPrice with my eyes.
Smart move isn't it?
Hehe.
And being in Florida makes me cherish home more.

Gahhhh I miss Singapore, and I miss home.
So sad to be missing out on National Day this coming year, but glad to be celebrating it with my roomies and co-workers!

I would love to thank iPrice Singapore for featuring me even when I'm far from home.
I can feel the love from Singapore.
And especially to my readers from Singapore,
I'm feeling the warmth too!
Keep reading.
Look out for my upcoming post which I shall not let my lazy bum get its way through me to slack off.

:)

goodnight readers,
cynnie.
