Today.


Today, is the day when he told me that he does not think things won't work out anymore. He told me that we should remain friends. Gosh, I should have seen it coming. I should have known. Maybe I was over confident; Maybe I'd thought that things would be different as it was our first huge argument; Or maybe I'd thought he would give us a second chance to work things together. I'd carried all these hopes as if I could foresee the future of us being together. You know when they say don't bring your hopes too high, otherwise you will fall down hard. I was a rebel, I have decided to went against that saying.

I ended up having tears pouring down my cheeks ever so freely. I couldn't hold them back. I didn't know why until I realized that this is what heartbreak feels like. I've never experienced it. It's all brand new to me, and still is. I knew I needed fresh air and I knew that if I were to lie in my bed tearing myself out, I wouldn't stand myself up any easier. I went to Albert Docks for some fresh air.

It was a lovely night. Not too windy, just soothing sea breeze. The view was still breathtaking as ever, but it felt different from the other times when I was there. It was therapeutic this time. The reflections of the lights from the buildings across the sea were swaying from side to side along with the waves; The smell of the ocean water. They all calmed me down. I knew I needed that.

Just when I thought things were disastrous, here comes a lovely staff from the docks. He listened to me and tried his best to make me feel better. He told me that if both sides still love each other, just be together. Simple as that. It was true, but it requires both sides to willing to work together to be together. I don't know why I did not mention that to him, maybe cause I was out of words at that time. You could tell that he was worried that I would do stupid things. He did say please do not jump into the water. Well, of course, that did not come across my mind at all whilst I was there. I just wanted to calm down. He also reminded me that whenever I feel down and helpless, think of my family. That obviously made me cry even more.

I'm grateful to have him with me for the past months, the entire experience with him and that lovely staff (gutted that I didn't get his name). I don't blame him, neither everything else around us. He apologized but I knew that he didn't need to. If I were to blame one thing, I would blame time. For making it feel much shorter than it already was, and for making situation tougher than it already has been.

Things will not be easy for me from now on and I know that it's going to take me a while to decide whether to stay or move on. But, I know from tonight, I will be stronger than before, stronger than yesterday.

And, I know that I'm going to miss him. A lot.

Lots of Love,

Baltic Bakehouse, Bridgewater Street

Hello everybody!
I am still on my spring break. I am really enjoying my free time but worried about things at the same time. I am watching Rush Hour on the telly as I am writing this blog post. I love every Rush Hour series. 

Anyway, Rachel and I went to Baltic Bakehouse for brunch on one of the mornings. We've read a couple of good reviews about their home made breads and Rachel is obsessed with breads. HAHAHA.


There were only limited selection as they were all freshly made on the morning itself.


The café is not very spacious but it was cosy. Felt so much like a little cottage. 


Custard Pie, which was super duper amazing. Rachel and I were literally fighting over it. 

Sticky Bread. It was literally sticky. I personally did not think it was out of the league amazing.

Sauté mushroom and sausage on toasted breads. It was really good. Rachel loved the bread so much.

Home made sausage roll. It was one of my least favorite. The bread was too hard for me.

Om-nom-nom-nom face. 

I absolutely love how homey the decors are in this shop.

It was not an easy place to find but it is definitely worth a try. Overall, I think it was just alright.

#OOTD.



Last but not least, my favorite companion in Liverpool.

I think Rachel looked super adorbs here. Hee.

Have a good mid-week!

Lots of Love,

Cristallo, Pacific Regency Hotel Suites

Hi all!
It's been a while. I do apologize for my lack of updates due to my busy schedule. This post will be a super throwback post back from last summer.

Introducing: Cristallo di Luna

Baby b and I went there for our annual dinner date last summer. It was a hard location for us to find as one, I am very bad with directions and two, it was located somewhere hidden. We've found our way eventually. Well, not me, Carmen did. HAHA. 

A nice dinner that overlooks KL is what we always go for. Instead of having a twin tower view, which is the thing nowadays, we sat beside KL tower. Hipster view for the win. I was really looking forward to the foods as the menu looked pretty impressive. The foods have Malaysian flavors in Western-styled cooking. 


It was very empty when we were there. It was just us and a couple who looked like in their 50s, probably celebrating their wedding anniversary. No doubt, the view was gorgeous. 



I was distracted at that time and Carmen was complaining throughout dinner. HAHA.

Our starters: 
(L) Velouté of Pumpkin with Toasted Sunflower Seed, Cinnamon Crème Fraiche 
(R) Cappuccino of Wild Mushrooms and Black Olive Dust.

I personally am not impressed by the plating but taste wise was pretty good. Just a note if you were wondering, there was no coffee taste in the mushroom soup. These soups were served with breads. Super yums.


Moving on, our mains:

Grilled Marinated Alive Farm Free Range Chicken Supreme, Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables in Tomato Case, Confit Garlic Puree, Basil Scented Oil and Jus


Grilled Tenderloin of Black Angus Beef, Pommes au Dauphinoise, Fricassee of Wild Mushroom, Glazed Baby Onions, Morel Jus, Truffle Scented Oil 

Amazing company, amazing food, amazing view. What more could I ask for?

We ended our meal with a touch of sweets:

Chocolate Spiced Torte, Lemon Sherbet, Light Hazelnut Custard
We wanted to go for Teh Tarik’ Ginger Panna Cotta & Kaya Butter Toast, but they were out of it when we were there. You have no idea how disappointed I was. Carmen dislikes chocolate so I had most of the dessert to myself. Hee.

My 'cause baby I'm fabulous face. HAHAH.

.. and hello there x 


I'm really blessed to have you in my life. I can't wait to go home this summer already! 

Lastly, my #ootn


Have a great Spring break

Lots of Love,
