Every night is like a party.

My favourite place in Florida. Probably for now.

From Florida.

Hey guys, how're you guys doing?

It certainly feels surreal that I've been in Orlando, Florida for like 4 days...?

Getting pretty much homesick sometimes but yeah, I do enjoy my times together with my house mates as well!

After a long torturing of 20hrs or so, we finally got here.

Basically, I'm a huge fan of airline food.

Some people might find it yucky because it's microwaved and stuff, but it's really good when tasted onboard!

I mean like after long hours of boring flight, you get some activities to do as well right?

Haha love the omelette!

Hong Kong International Airport for transfer to Chicago flight.

All those damn treats from our lecturer...mmmm so good :p

Hash browns and bacon with omelette, and if you notice a happy smile :)

Great start for a good morning?

I guess as much.

Chicago O'Hare Airport and these are some of my awesome mates!

One of the best pizzas on earth but too bad it's pepperoni and I could't eat much.

But still looking forward to my Giordano's stuffed pizza someday!

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, candy apples!

Never lived in Sheraton hotel before, but I lived in Sheraton Suites back in FL, Orlando.

One of the best and it's so well-furnished and decorated.

Even the beds were soft like @#!$#^&%*& *gibberish*

So... I guess for the 1st day of my trip it's kind of like hectic and tiring enough for me throughout the whole journey...

More updates soon guys!

have a good night ahead,

cynthia.

Simple vlog, simply my first attempt: A video for my family.

For my loved ones.

My true feelings.

With much love,

[REVIEW] Hiruscar Post-Acne Review &... some little thoughts of mine.

Hey guys!

If you have read the teens magazine for May issue, you would probably have a whole lot of idea what I'm saying today.

Yes this!!!

As you guys have known, Hiruscar has been a long established brand which produces mainly cream/gel products that are targeted at removing scars from your skin.

Be it burnt scars, cuts or some might be the after-effect scars from injections that you've once got.

But of course, besides those scars that one might suffer from injuries, what about pimple scars?

You know those that might actually leave pock marks on your face?

Yes those!!

So Hiruscar is here to help!

Really want to thank Teens magazine for allowing me to review on this product which can also be found on one of the bulletin of teens magazine!

What I LOVE about this product is definitely the narrow opening of the product.

You wouldn't have to worry about squeezing out too much at one go which means...

You can use it for even longer!

At just $19.90, this product is worth an investment.

When I applied it upon my face,

I could feel the cooling and tingling effect on my face which feels like my skin was literally being stretched.

Which feels like it's smoothing out your face!

Sounds like botox feel right I know haha but this is for scar and not some wrinkles issues.

It is now available at those  pharmaceutical places such as guardian & Watsons etc.

So get yours now!

And maybe also teens magazine to show some support? :p

Once again, I would like to thank teens magazine for featuring me for the Hiruscar review and also for one of their features!

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

Now, it's officially 21 days, 3 weeks to go before I bid goodbye to Singapore for a couple of months.

I have mixed feelings.

Of course, the excitement of seeing Mickey Mouse & friends is definitely there!

But the pain of leaving my loved ones is definitely hurting me as well.

I do hope that the couple of months there will be a peaceful, fun and definitely unforgettable for me ;)

Besides, so many meet ups with my friends over the 3 weeks that I can't wait to see them!! :)

If you've been following my instagram as well,

Yes, I'm back for some Baking Addiction with #daisycooks!

Butter-less, sugar-less, whole wheat chocolate cupcakes which I think did not turn out too well as the butter smell is still the most distinctive point of a cupcake.

Tough luck trying to be healthy while indulging :(

But that doesn't mean I'm giving up!!

I will master it soon.

But meanwhile, I can't resist anymore butter.

True love of original M&M cookies, which means with butter, plain flour and loads and loads of M&Ms!!

So glad that my colleagues loved it because I specially baked it for them :')

one last peanut butter cookies before I leave Singapore and my lovely colleagues from La Senza!

In case you don't know, yes I work there HAHA.

my favourite shot of all times ;)

And I guess I should probably become a Thai.

My favourite Thai Ruby!!

Look at all those wonderful colours whoops whoops.

Right down my tummy wummy with none left you :p

Want to know more about all these cooking and stuff or any relevant topics you guys want me to blog about?

Let me know because I will be more willing to know it ;)

goodbye sweethearts,

cynnie

Yay updates and everything: Grin Affair, Dad's birthday!

Yes finally I'm blogging.

Before I continue slacking my ass off, I've got to start putting back in effort in typing out my experiences and moments into words.

Outfit of the day!

Finally wearing back:

Striped cap x Forever 21

 American Eagle Muscle Tank x Heritage 81

High waist shorts x my sister's loots

Bracelets x @beatxbeads & Red Wings store @ OC

That day was scorching hot.

Practically walked around the whole of Outram Park while finding the place!

Was all that walking worth it or not?

Continue reading :p

This condominium should be iconic enough for you to locate the Grin Affair store!

If you did not expect Grin Affair to be located around a neighbourhood estate, yes it is there.

At the far end, which is why we got lost a little while even with our GPS!

Surprisingly, there were a few other cafes located around that area as well and it's pretty near to Duxton as well!

So if you're on a cafe-hopping spree and just too full for any desserts, maybe you can pop by Grin Affair for some takeaway sweet treats!

OR

If you're not full/hungry/itchy mouth/having a sweet tooth,

this is the right place.

Tadah!

We are at the doorstep!

Looking pretty cosy just from the exterior, I really grinned.

I mean to me, I or We love cosy little places to chill out isn't it?

This place felt homely enough to me.

It was a Tuesday/Wednesday afternoon.

So we weren't really expecting a crowd or anything which pretty much was true!

Perhaps more of takeaways.

I felt like I walked into a tiny cottage.

With a dim orange light lit to welcome the customers in.

Seats were minimal, which makes it more spacious and of course there were seats outside too!

DIY decks just made the overall interior so much cuter!

We were greeted by an auntie which I assume might be the owner's mum or someone, and with her warm smile and greetings, I really felt happy to be there!

Even without eating the cakes, I felt sweet enough.

Okay mushy enough.

The auntie recommended some of the hot favourites such as 

Strawberry Cheese;

Cookies & cream;

Lychee Passion.

Sharlene(my twin aka owner of @beatxbeads on Instagram; do check out her handmade bracelets!) got the Strawberry Cheese well I opted for the Hazelnut because I'm just a lover of hazelnuts.

The Strawberry Cheese was GOOD.

The strong taste of cream cheese enhanced with the sweetness of the strawberries and the crumbs at the top just made it melt in my mouth with a tinge of sweetness; yet it wasn't too sweet that it will make you sick of it.

Awesome recommendation; definitely a must try!

Mine was the Hazelnut.

Really filled with hazelnuts.

Mad love.

With Pralines.

I hyperventilated.

Then comes the coffee & chocolate sponge cake at the bottom.

I died.

It might not be one of the favourites, but to me it was heavenly.

The coffee & chocolate cake might taste a little bitter, but with the sweetness of the hazelnuts and the crunchy nut praline, it was a perfect match of bitter and sweet.

My tastebuds had a struggle trying to taste it, because It was so good that I just chewed and really just wanted to have another mouthful of it.

So my tastebuds couldn't enjoy longer.

Aww I love them.

Dad's birthday which falls on 13th April!

Celebrated over at Buffet Town @ City Hall the day before, and he was so elated to see his Pedro shoes as his birthday present!

So officially him with his birthday cake!

Chocolate Mousse cake from Prima Deli!

Dad with Mum!

Thank you both for bringing us up, I know it's like a parent's responsibility but without all these years of care and love, we wouldn't have grown up knowing the society, 

knowing how to care and love,

how to contribute back to the society,

and so much more stuff.

I hope to see our family every loving together, travelling together, dinner times together, so much more.

I can't imagine days when I will be in Florida and not being able to see you all for 3 months.

it's gonna be tough, but I will do you proud.

With loads of love,

cyn.
