<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was planning our trip to Greece, Jo told me</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I dont care where are we staying in Italy. But we are staying in <i><b>Oia</b> in Santorini</i>!"</div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">So Oia it is!</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We took a ferry from our previous stay, Tinos early in the morning. I remember I was checking the ferry schedule for Santorini during dinner time and they have only 2 departures a day, either early in the morning or late in the evening. Worst, it was too late to book a ticket online at that time. I'd terribly bad panic attacked - we wanted to reach earlier because it's Santorini! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We booked a cab for the next morning in advance, and so, we reached just in time for the counter to open and bought the ticket at 9 to Santorini.<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>It's only a 3 hours(or so) of ferry ride. We couldn't hide our excitement anymore! We hired two cars at the ferry port and drove ourselves all the way to <b><i>Oia</i></b>.</div>

<br />
It was a casual weekday, casual only because we are a group of unemployed, and making a road trip on weekdays is our only contribution to the society. HAHAHAHAHA.<br />
<br />
Birthday meals are too mainstream, so we decided to have a road trip to Sekinchan. As usual we made lots of stupid jokes, laughing out loud like we own the paddy fields, and eating our hearts out.<br />

<div>
Mine? K-pop, mostly! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do know a few people who anti k-pop and their arguments will be </div>
<div>
<u>'you don't even understand what they're singing.'</u></div>
<div>
BUT! Honestly, how often do you <b>really </b>understand Chinese and English songs?</div>
<div>
Unless you really read the lyrics, or else that's just it.</div>
<div>
Or more often than not, there's only that <b>one</b> sentence that tugs at your heartstrings. </div>
<div>
So why can't k-pop? <i><strike><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>NO ONE CAN HURT MY OPPAS! Lolololol</b></span></strike></i><br />
<i><strike><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br /></b></span></strike></i>
Decided to share songs that I listen to daily, picked 20 songs,<br />
mix of Chinese, English and Korean, and made a playlist here.<br />
<br />
Recently I'm in love with Hyukoh, a K indie rock band, their songs are so different and I absolutely love it. I know them through Infinity Challenge, and Zion. T was also one of the singer-songwriter that went on the show, alongside with IU and Big Bang. Zion.T's Eat has the most heartwarming lyrics and MV. 4th and 18th songs by Roy Kim are my lullabies. His voice is probably the most soothing ones, and I want my future husband to sound just like that. HAHAHAHAHA. I'm also kinda sad that he's so underrated, probably because he don't do mainstream music. More on the playlists, hope you like it.<br />

ps: I'm just so proud that Shan is finally a kpop lover too! She was sorta an anti, no wait. Not anti, but.... Yeah, she was. I remember she will switch radio channels if they start playing kpop, and that one time it was Big Bang's. I secretly gave her a dead stare. And now, she listens to Big Bang errrrrrrrday. Karma (good one, of course). Teehee!<br />

<br />
Here's a short update of what we did to our hair. If you look back at it, you will realize that we always do stupid things together, spontaneously. And <b><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://pinchofaddiction.blogspot.my/2014/12/61-no-longer-half-blond.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></b> is why. I'm not sure if cutting your bangs short is a stupid move, but it's definitely not a smart move. Quoting Jeff, <i>'If you need 3 of you to gather courage to cut together, that means it's a wrong move'</i> Hahahaha. I can't agree more, but the thing is... I don't regret it at all, mostly because I stay at home most of the time. Lol<br />
<br />
Shan was at my place on that fine Sunday, where we were too full for any tea and cakes, so we just lay around at my place and think what else can we do other than cafe-hopping. Then she suggested to go for a haircut, bangs-cut I mean. Which is something I wanted to do, but too lazy to visit a hair salon. Heh.<br />
<br />
<b><i>"I'll text Wei May and see if she wants to go, we'll go if she on."</i> </b><br />
<br />
and the rest is history. Hahaha.<br />
<br />
The night before, I kept sending them all sorts of links and photos of celebrities cutting short bangs. But never thought that we would be cutting it the next day. And FYI, it's not your regular short bangs, so short that it's above your eyebrows. Lolol. Like this,<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Hey everyone, here's my first favourites(/video that I'm actually talking) from 2016. I know, it's already end of Feb, and I'm only posting this now, talk bout productive *roll eyes* Duh. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">I made a video in Cantonese version this time, because I think I should do it in a language that I'm most comfortable and confident with. However, I still stuttered a lot, can't imagine if I'm doing it in English. There'll probably be more um.. ahhhh... uh... Lol.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">And even in Cantonese, there's so many times that my mind goes blank because I can't seem to find the right word. Hahah. Ugh!I'm so bad at this. But yeah, practice makes perfect. Still, hope you liked it. Even, if you don't... I totally understand that, but still thanks for the view *wink*</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">About the process: </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><strike><i>I think</i></strike> I've spent days (almost a week tbh)to edit this whole thing, and then I stopped for awhile till I continue working with the subtitles. I could have just share it without subtitles, but not sure if it's my first favorites, I tend to talk a lot, so it became quite long winded. So I decided to edit it into 1.5 speed to make it shorter and faster, but that also takes around 12 mins to end this video. Ugh. And because not everyone can understand Cantonese, I decided to add on subtitles as well, but only Chinese (for this time). Because I procrastinate too much, this whole video editing+ adding subs took me 2 weeks. *cover face and run* </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">And seriously speaking here, I have so much respects for Youtubers and video editors. I almost puke looking at my own face over and over again while editing it. This is so different from my previous experience making <strike>shitty</strike> travel vlog. I did it once....... And I don't think I wanna do it anymore. So yeah, this may be my first and last. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">HAHAHAHA.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> Ok la, just kidding. Depends lo, if I have anything nice or fun to share then I'll do another one. But definitely not so soon la. I need a brief hiatus. Lolol. Meanwhile, I'll try to add English subs. I'll try. So you please <b>try</b> to watch? *puppy eyes* Gazillion thanks!!</span></div>

<br />
Jo and I got a traveller's notebook together before we fly to UK but we hardly record anything thou it was the year we traveled the most. Until I came back to Malaysia and realized that I have to make full use of it since<b> <span style="color: #666666;">I spent so much on it right!</span></b><br />

I have the urge to buy them all, the washi tapes, rubber stamps, classiky papers,<i> I SWEAR!</i> I just couldn't make up my mind at that point of time. The owner was kind enough to provided some stationery/stamps to play around in the shop. But I didnt have my traveller's notebook with me so I <i>cheapskate-ly</i> brought home some of them along with some Seremban siewbao.</div>
<br />
I come back again, and I will make sure I bring along my traveller's notebook by then. Hopefully soon, taa!<br />

And... This is the 100th post for this blog we rarely update. *insert achievement unlocked meme* Hurray for the lack of creativeness and lazy bloggers, well done and keep it up. *pat Jo's shoulder*<br />

Aside from achieving 100 blog post in the span of 3 years, December is such a festive time of year, we had lots of fun, I hope you enjoyed yours too!<br />

This bunch of people got us a lot of attention when we are gathered together. The bad kind of attention. Hey you people, Christmas or not, I'm glad I have you being by my side and embarrassing me/us. Kinda enjoy the embarrassment.<br />

Had been very busy lately, but I'm happy, because I'm feeling alive again. The past months were... indescribable. I wasn't exactly unhappy, just feeling a lil lifeless, and then some negative feelings lead on. Anyway, here's the vlog I promised. I'm just trying to be funny at the first 3 seconds. Ignore it, or laugh with me. I'd appreciate the latter. *wink wink*<br />

Never knew time passes so fast, and I have to guiltily admit that I have done exactly nothing. Anyway, it's December again! My favourite month of the year! *jumping in excitements* Mom and I have a thing for Christmas, esp mom. She'll be playing Christmas songs in the car even before December, and then Chinese New Year songs once December ends.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> *cue dong dong qiang music*</span><br />
<br />
Went to Shanghai with mom last October, wasn't really expecting much because it's China?! Am I being racist here? Maybe, but don't mock me on this. I've been to Guangzhou 8 years ago, and that trip wasn't anything near nice. The food, the people, and the environment... smh. But but! Shanghai was different. Maybe it's more developed, even the food is nicer. Hahah. But there's still this one thing that get on my nerves a lot! Queueing up is the thing they will never do! It's as if I'm being pretentious to want to queue up. Okay, to be fair, the Europeans I've met cut queue too <span style="font-size: x-small;">(very often)</span>. *roll eyes* And I'll be screaming in my head,<br />

Done editing my Shanghai vlog, I even uploaded it on YouTube, but when I do my final check, I realized there's something wrong with it *strangle self*. So I gotta edit and upload it again, ugh! Meanwhile, here's some photos taken, video will be up next. ASAP, fingers crossed.<br />

It was raining most of the time when we were in Shanghai, we spent most of our time indoors or under the umbrella if not. It was just really frustrating, things would be perfect if it wasn't for the bad weather. But the trip was very delightful albeit very short, we've met some nice people and had very good food. I think I love Shanghai, I can totally survive there. Can't wait to be there again, there'sso much more to explore. And I miss the food already! Lol<br />

Unless there's somebody else who talks about my make up everyday behind my back, but I wouldn't have known if it was behind my back, so Jeff is still the winner <i><span style="color: #666666;">(is there a competition?)</span></i><br />
<br />
He talks a lot about my makeup, way too much. He would stare at me whenever I'm doing my makeup and ask what am I applying. Also, he is incredibly observant he looks at me very closely and point out all the flaws on my face. It was just few days back, I told him my makeup is on point and he said no. Then he will go on and discuss/explain to me what (he thinks) went wrong. As a boyfriend who occasionally forced to watch makeup tutorial on Youtube with me, he is pretty much a<i> fast learner. </i><br />
<br />
<b><u>1) You look shy. Wayyyy too shy</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Before I got my current blusher as my birthday gift few months back, <i>(thanks, Mel!) </i>I used to apply lipstick on my cheeks as blush like the Koreans did. But I'm no Korean, obviously. I tend to go overboard with my blusher thinking <b><i>I look cute </i></b>today yet looking like<b> <i>Annabelle doll</i> </b>the moment I go under the sun.<br />
<br />
I think he cannot stand the unnecessary<i> shy-ness</i> my cheeks were showing. One day, he sat in front of me and said,<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #666666;">"You look very shy today."</span></i></b><br />
before I could react,<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #666666;">"Way too shy!" </span></i></b>he added.<br />

Here's photo of me wearing overly shy blush.</div>

I regret.</div>
<b><u>2) It's magical.</u></b><br />
<br />
I occassionally apply makeup in the car when Jeff is driving. Like I've mentioned, Jeff would watch me me putting on makeup. He learnt a thing or two about cosmetics and makeup techniques gradually yet he would still wanna watch when I do it. So I thought, is he looking at me because he thinks <i>I look totally different with makeup?</i><br />
<b><i><span style="color: #666666;">"No, I just thought it's magical. Like all the shiny thingy you put on your face, I'm amused."</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<b><u>3) Take my advice!</u></b><br />
<br />
Jeff told me that my makeup looked thick when I apply finishing powder on my whole face. He asked if I could skip it but I have oily T-zone and I have to use finishing powder to set my make up. To solve the problem, I apply the finishing powder only on my T-zone with a powder brush instead of the makeup cushion that comes with the powder. When he see me, he asked,<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #666666;">"Did you put on makeup today? They look natural."</span></b></i><br />
<span style="color: #999999;"><b><i>"Yeah I put the finishing powder only around my nose."</i></b></span><br />
<i><b><span style="color: #666666;">"Hmm, taking makeup advice from boyfriend."</span></b></i><br />
Whuttttt?<br />

powder brush I stole from le sister makeup pouch.</div>

<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div>
<b><u>4) You have glitter all over your face!</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I bought the <span style="color: #666666;"><i>Guerlain Meteorites pearls</i> </span>when I was in UK. It puts a noticeable shimmer/glows on my face so I used them as finishing powder and sometimes, as highlighter. Jeff does not know much about cosmetics, or at least cosmetics I own before I start putting makeup in front of him. Hence, he would not have known that I put the shimmery powder on my face, on purpose. He sort of saw something shimmer on my face and he<span style="color: #999999;"> </span><b><span style="color: #999999;">w i p e d a w a y</span> </b>for me.<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #666666;">"Oh you have glitter on your cheek."</span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="color: #666666;">"Wait, you have glitter all over your face!"</span></i></b><br />
Yes, because I applied them? Duhhhh<br />

glitter that goes on face.</div>
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">5) Try to contour your face?</u><br />
<br />
Firstly, I don't know where he learned that word. I'm curious, how many straight guy know the word <i>'contour' </i>and understand the actual meaning of it? I've chubby cheeks. Those baby fat never seem to leave my cheeks albeit I'm not a baby anymore. I often rant about my chubby cheeks, <i>how my selfie doesn't look good enough, how my short hair makes my face look fat, I can't hide my cheeks with my hair anymore, </i>and he pop-ed the question, about contouring. I stunned for awhile but no, ain't taking the trouble to do so.<b> As if the basic makeup routine isn't complicated enough. </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I might have been exaggerating some of these. I'm glad that Jeff is being patient and found joy in watching me doing makeup rather than dissing me. By all means, I'm serious about the 'contouring question'. Please, do let me know what do you know about <i>"contouring"</i>.<br />

Well, I'm still alive. Giving myself a long break after the exam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have read <a href="https://www.quora.com/Which-are-the-worlds-toughest-examinations">this</a>, you would know that the Malaysia's Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP), which Jo and I took last month, is included as the top 10 toughest examination in the world. I have this article shared all over my Facebook timeline by all the (potential) victims because, it is true what they say. It was absolutely dreadful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<br />
<section class="entry" style="color: #333333; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em;"><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've been constantly told by my friends how onerous CLP is, especially with the proof of its infamous reputation of low passing rate. I didn't quite believe it back then, and I should. While the studying was boring and bulky, the exam itself was worse. We have in total of 9 subjects, 5 papers all done in 2 weeks. See what I meant? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I knew what I signed up for but I was not prepared for the physical, mental and emotional torture by the back-to-back exam. I should have trusted May when she told me this shit couldn't be done when she was doing her exam last year. Thou she passed hers in the first attempt I should be glad that she had not gone mad (yet) and same goes to all of us who did the exam and still survive. Hello fellow survivors! *wave*</span><br />

As I have stated in my previous post, we continued our journey to <i>Cinque Terre</i> after dropping by at Pisa for an hour or so. We bought the one-day Cinque Terre card which is valid for unlimited train ride at any time until midnight of the day. We did this because we thought we were going to visit all the 5 Terre. Unfortunately the weather was awfully hot and the heat seemed to be draining our energy, we only managed to visit 2 of them. </div>

Train ride from Venice to Florence takes around 2 hours. We didn't pre-book our tickets, we simply head to the train station and get the ticket. Florence, the place where we had most amount of gelato during the whole one month trip. If you ask me to list down why not to travel during summer, the weather will definitely be top reason. The crowd will be the next on the list. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We were told by our Airbnb host that the hottest temperature ever recorded in the city that summer was 40<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">°C. Holy, this is even worse than Malaysia. All we can do is take as much gelato as possible to cool ourselves down. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I personally think that this place is a tad bit expensive since they do not serve hot food and you could easily spend like RM50-ish solely on desserts for two. I guess that's the price you have to pay to have a homelike place that serves you mouthwatering desserts. Also, they do not provide Wifi if you techies is looking for somewhere to stay and surf the internet. I brought my laptop with me thinking I could kill some time using it. Too bad for me, there were no wifi and I can do (close to) nothing with a internet-less laptop. It's written right next to their entrance which I did not notice. Even if I did, it would have been too late because I have already brought my laptop here. Not having Wifi isn't exactly a huge let down thou. You can always chat with your friends, read the books/magazines that are readily available, or make good use of the natural lighting and take a (lot of) good ootd shot!</span></div>

Posting this before exam is probably one of the most inappropriate thing to do, I wasn't going to update the blog until exam ends, but I was so stress and then I started to watch random clips I took throughout the year. Then I began to edit and compile them together, and here are some of the important events I've attended, weddings and birthdays.<br />

at 0:38 records down the first meeting of Caryn and Shan. Two of my best friends hearing so much about each other for years, and finally met for JM's birthday. Thank God, they love each other, just like I knew they would because we are equally crazy. teehee.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the side notes, some people might think that it's ridiculous for girls having so many best friends. One of my guy friend actually asked, <i>'how many best friends do you have?'</i> Not to me, of course, because I don't have that many friends tbh, but another friend. But hey, why limit the good things in life? I can have as many best friends I like, friends that I really really like, and those whom I feel happy to be with. I'm not the most friendly person, because I'm socially awkward. I don't mix well with new people, and it kinda kills me to actually think of any subject to talk about because I got absolutely nothing in my mind. It happens, I was too comfortable being quiet and it turned out to be really awkward, not me, because I felt comfortable like that. Lol.<br />

But once you get to know me, I might just be the craziest person you ever know, like maybe on the Top 3?! Humble is virtue. Hahahah. And I think having different best friends on different stage of life, that's not betrayal, it's normal. Your best friend will stay your best friend, and will totally understand that, if they're your<b> real </b>best friend. Lots of love to y'all <i><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">(you know who you are *wink*) </span></b></i>Anyway, enjoy the video!</div>

<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">When I was planning my summer trip, I sorta took Joann's schedule into consideration knowing that she will join me somewhere around so we could visit our dream place, Greece together. After much thought and consideration, we decided to meet in Italy as flying from Rome is one of the cheapest way to get to Greece.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was supposed to touch down at Venice a day earlier than Jo. Unfortunately, I booked the wrong date for our transport. Ever since I've started planning my trip, I wanted to try all kind of transportation. So I picked an overnight train to Venice from Vienna. Clearly, it was a wrong move. We were already in the train, unpacked our stuff and getting comfortable with the tiny room space, the ticket inspector came and knock and asked for our tickets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I ● BOUGHT ● THE ● WRONG ● TICKET</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just because it is an overnight ticket, there's a confusion on the train time and so, I booked the ticket for 1st instead of 30th of June. I called Anna, our Airbnb host immediately to tell her our situation. Fortunately, she took us back. (Un)Lucky for us, the ticket is usable the next day. We earned another day in Vienna and still get to ride to Venice without spending another penny on the expensive train ticket. You know, there is two sides to a coin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The ticket cost us <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2px;">€</span>124 per person, where we get a triple bunk bed sleeper compartment with a bathrom all for ourselves. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but sleeping while rolling down the track saves time and cost of a hotel. Also, they prepared us simple breakfast with buns before leaving the train. It is a good experience, although I'm pretty sure I'll not do this again if it is not necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jo & Jeff landed a little bit later, by the time they meet up with us, it was already lunch time. So we head out lunch before heading to the apartment. I supposed the train station we got off is one of the main central in Venice, there were plenty of choices. We just have to pick one we're comfortable with. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Venice is famous for its bad food, or its expensive food. Or, <i>bad and expensive food</i>. I've done enough research to know that. Yet, we chose to dine at Burano, the main tourists area. Mainly because when we were strolling around the street, this (seemed to be) very friendly lady talked to us, knowing that we are from Malaysia, she speak to us in Malay as she's from Thailand. We sort of had a short conversation and she invited us to dine at the restaurant she's working at. Biggest mistake we'd made! Mumsy prefers tomato based spaghetti so she ordered a mushroom spaghetti and another friend of ours ordered a chicken spaghetti. When the bill comes, we're shocked to know that the mushroom spaghetti and chicken spaghetti is priced at (almost) the same as our seafood spaghetti. </span><span style="text-align: left;">I feel like we were being <i>ripped off.</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Disclaimer: this is not your average food review.</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The baked cheesetart is the lastest hype in town. Jeff and I have been tempted many times to try but there are so many good possible choices it took us a while to consider. We were on our way to 1 Utama and the cheesetart post of <b>Tokyo Secret </b>and <b>Uncle Tetsu</b> appeared on my Facebook timeline at the same time. I turned to Jeff and showed him the video of cheese filling ozzing out when the tarts were cut into half. He was like</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Okay let's get them!"</span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">There was a long queue at the <b><i>Tokyo Secret </i></b>which most certainly because of the limited tray of tarts they're baking each batch. We happened to meet my cousin's friend and he offered to help us to buy.<i> (we went to queue up and he offered help. The queue was really long and we only wanted 2 pieces, so.. yeah we gave in.)</i> He queued for 20 minutes before we were there and we waited for 10-15 minutes for him to get to the cashier. <b>This is utterly crazy on a Monday evening!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I thought since we are already here in 1 Utama, why not get <b><i>Uncle Tetsu </i></b>as well and compare them so we know which to buy/recommend in future. Uncle Tetsu is famous for their fluffy cotton cheesecake, their cheese tart might be good too because well, <i>they are all cheese.</i> As opposed to Tokyo Secret's rather slow service, we get everything done in 5 minutes at Uncle Tetsu. There was no queue, the tarts were all ready on the display rack and we just grab-and-go. Note that Uncle Tetsu cheesetart is in limited supply daily and each customer is limited to 6 cheesetarts only.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We didn't have it immediately after we get our hands on it. We only had it in the car before Jeff drops me home so the cheese wasn't exactly melting. Took our 1st bite of <i>Tokyo Secret Hanjyuku cheesetart, </i>and we both exclaimed in excitement. The cheese filling is so soft and creamy, you can taste the fragrance of cream cheese all filled in your mouth upon the first bite. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">By comparison, the <i>Uncle Tetsu Kurimi cheesetart </i>has rather <i>flat taste</i>. Not sure if it's because the Tokyo Secret's one is covering the taste of it or it simply taste bland. Besides, I prefer the Tokyo Secret crust better since it's more on the crumbly and crispy side than the egg tart/cookies kind of texture like the one from Uncle Tetsu.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I try them again at home as my midnight snack lol. Also, I lightly toast them in the oven before to check if the cheese will melt again after reheating?</span></div>

I regretted not knowing this band earlier, I only came to notice them when I decided to hit on the autoplay button on my YouTube and they start playing random songs and BOOM! this band gives me eargasm. I've always liked <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">盧廣仲, quote JM '他的歌好听到你不舍得睡觉‘,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;"> </span>true enough, except I still falls asleep very easily. And this band, plays just the right thing I love. I know nothing about good music, all I know is whether I like it, or not.<br />
<br />
So here's my part of the summer vacay, I went to a few places before joining Shan in Italy. First stop, <i><b>BRUSSELS</b></i>. Took a night coach from London to Brussels alone to meet up with Sharon, Mel and Esther (flew from Greece). It was a seven hours ride, reached Brussels at six in the morning and will only meet them girls in the afternoon. Been wondering what can I do for that few hours, as it was sorta solo travel for me for the first time, so I was pretty excited, but was also too sleepy to feel anything at that moment.<br />
<br />
Unlike my previous experience of taking coach to Paris(by eurolines), I have to be extra careful with my own belongings as I was travelling alone, and also this time(by megabus) it's a lil different because we have to go by a ferry, everyone has to get down from the coach and take a rest in the ferry.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Victoria Coach Station (London) - Canterbury Dover Ferry Port - Brussels</i></div>
<br />
Explored the ferry for a moment as I have not been in one this big, and it's mostly food hall and nothing much. Then I realized that I shouldn't have took my own sweet time walking around. Everyone, literally everyone found themselves a spot to take a nap, and lucky me, I've got an arm chair. Trust me, it wasn't a pleasant journey, as it was all about getting sleep and switching places (from coach to ferry and back to coach). It's torturing, not everyone can do that, but I just have to as I was on a budget (it cost me less than<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">£</span></span>15 for a single trip).<br />

Brussels is a city famous of chocolate, beers, waffles and the peeing boy (Manneken Pis). The story of this peeing boy, although seems a lil ridiculous to me, is that this boy has actually saved the city by urinating on explosives that was gonna bomb the city. But it make more sense than the second version of the story which tells of a tourist father<span style="font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f6f6f1; font-size: 12px;"> </span></span>who lost his son in the city and after receiving help from the locals to find the boy(who was found happily peeing in a small garden!!), he gifted this statue to them. But I don't understand! As much as the westerners love statues, why would anyone wants a statue of a peeing boy that brings them trouble? And this statue has been repeatedly stolen, what?! Trust me, I've rolled my eyes countless times listening to this. At least the first version is more heroic.<br />

According to reviews, <b>Maison Dandoy</b> serves the best waffles in Brussels. It is only steps away from the Grand Place. We ordered a homemade ice cream and strawberry waffle. There are two types of waffles, Belgian-style or L<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">è</span></span>ige-style. We picked the latter, thicker and denser in texture.<br />

The city centre is pretty small, everything is in walking distance, and also pretty safe to walk alone, let alone the terrorist attack. It's still safe, I guess? I remember when I was waiting in line to hop on the coach, the driver asked the man in front of me where's he heading to, and he said Brussels. The drivier told him good luck, because it's small and dead boring. Lol. I couldn't agree more, except chocolates and waffles made it a little better.<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was younger, my mom would bring me to the family saloon and I'll leave the place with mushroom haircut. I hated it. Towards the end of my primary school time, I told my mom I want to be like a girl, I want to keep my hair long. I have always had loved me in long hair and had my hair cut short only twice for the past 12 years and regretted them <i><b>immediately. </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I remember when I was 13/14, my mom was utterly unsatisfied with my unkempt hair because I always leave my hair wet after shower. I simply slung a towel over my shoulder and walk around the house in damp hair. She brought me to the saloon out of annoyance and told the hairdresser to cut my hair short. I was crying the whole time at the saloon and the kindhearted hairdresser couldn't stand watching me crying like it's the end of the world, she trimmed my hair to make it more manageable instead of following my mom's order. Still, I remember I cried the 1st time I wash my hair after the haircut because they're no longer the length it used to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2 years back, before I leave to UK, I <a href="http://pinchofaddiction.blogspot.my/2014/06/40-dip-dye.html" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #666666;">dip dyed my hair grey</span></i></a> because I thought, if not now, when? I'd never go for a haircut/trim when I was in UK because the prices for haircut is fairly expensive, which makes my damaged bleached hair even more rusty. You'd see me sitting in the kitchen, go through my hair and bite off all the split ends while talking to them. That's a bad habit I know. New year's eve of the same year, I chopped them, all by myself. Say bye bye to <i>dead, splitting ends.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just when I thought I wont be bleaching my hair ever again after going through all these hassles of cutting my hair and waiting for them to grow long, I can't believe I did it again. Number76 hair saloon came out with the monthly promotion where the new members are entitled to 25% off the total bill. Being an adventurer myself, I made a booking with Lucas at Publika branch and showed him the color I wanted to have on my hair and let him work his magic.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i>Bleached the bottom of my hair for the violet color and darker shade on my root so it wont be too awkward when my root grows. It cost me around RM370 after 25% off.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I didn't like them merely because Number76 is famous but also their superb service. Lucas found out that the color was not showing at the top part of my dip dye after the whole process. He asked if I got time for him to redye them or I can always go back the next day just so he could fix it for me. I like how <i>he pointed it out and fix it for me right away</i> instead of telling me that it wasn't his problem my hair didn't take on the color. Or worse, he might not even tell me about it and let me find out myself few days later thinking, <i><span style="color: #444444;">oh I bleached my hair so I should expect the color to fade in few washes. </span></i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">It aches me to see the purple color water on my toilet tiles whenever I wash my hair. So I'd always make sure to rinse my hair with cold water. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i>This was after 3 months. frizzy, dry, tangled end.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></b></span>
Eventually, I got tired of having to maintain such a long hair. Especially when they are no longer manageable. Showers took forever, took them even longer to dry before I go to sleep. Hairs everywhere be it in the bedroom, living room or the kitchen. I didn't like spending so much time maintaining them. This time, I made my appointment with Calvin from Bangsar branch and told him I want my hair short. While cutting my hair, Calvin asked if <i>I would miss my long hair.</i> Looking at my hair on the floor, <b>I told him no.</b> It has been so long since I had my hair short, I'm more concerned about how I'd look like.<br />
<br />
It has been so long since I last cut my hair short. I thought I'd leave the saloon in medium cut but no, Calvin didn't stop at the shoulder length. I was anxious, constantly turning to my side to look at Jo who's having her haircut at the same time to observe her reaction. If she freaked out, I know I would regret my decision. Every time Calvin made it shorter, I'd turn to Jo and she kept assuring me that I look good.<br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><i><b>Bangs weren't part of the plan, I swear. </b>Thou I secretly thought about it. </i></span><br />
Calvin asked if I want to get my fringe cut I was like okay, since I've already made up my mind about letting him to do whatever he thinks it's nice on me. Until I told Jo about it and she's like <i>how short? Did you ask? </i>He did told me this is how it would be, and I decided to get along with it. He's so nice he guided me on how to trim it myself when it gets long or I can always walk in anytime and he will help me to trim it, <i>FOC. </i>Anyhoo I think I'll pass that, bangs isn't really my thing.<br />

<b>I'm officially 24 now. </b>Well, technically 2 weeks ago.

Photo taken at Putrajaya balloon festival 13 March 2016</div>

<br />
Before I get that done, here's the video taken by us back during Bristol international balloon fiesta last year. We happened to be in Bristol together and took a trip there and we definitely did not regret! Compare to the balloon fiesta in Putrajaya we visited few months back where we did not manage to watch the mass release of hot air balloons due to the rain (okay I know that's not something we or the organizer can control) and everything else were so unorganized. We were rather disappointed. </div>

Hola, I'm back for good. I always buy this Taiwanese life design magazine called <strong>小日子 </strong>(c'est si bon) I came across this article about how accommodating her homestay host family is, and it certainly brings back all the memories of my experience I had with my airbnb host throughout my trip. Also, I happened to go though my last summer vacay photo album yesterday which reminds me that I did not really talk much about my awesome Europe trip. </div>

Having lived in Malaysia all my life, I has never seen snow. That's why I put Switzerland as our first destination. I want to see snow. The view was breathtaking I must say! Seeing those flakes floating down when the wind blows was magical. We were freezing and my hands were numb, yet we couldn't resist going out to touch the snows. We had this cheese fondue for dinner, imagine cold weather and hot melted cheese with potatoes, such a heaven ain't it?</div>

We headed to Prague after about a week stay in Switzerland. To be honest, I didn't enjoy Prague as much as I was in other countries. Not only the weather wasn't good, it was raining most of the time, there were too many tourists around you can't enjoy the city at peace. But that's where I had the famous ice-cream filled donuts - trdelník (sometimes I asked for strawberry whipped cream instead of ice-cream yums) Not to forget, the beer in Prague is cheaper than water and here is when we start ordering beer during meal time, instead of water. </div>

Before I plan my trips, I would not have even put this city - Budapest my list. I know nothing about the city except the movie - The Grand Budapest Hotel. I didn't even watch the movie, merely heard about it.We came here with no expectations whatsoever, but it gave me more than what other places has to offer. The cost of living is lower than the previous countries we have been to. With little money spent, we get to feast. The rose gelato I'm holding cost me less than £2 which is absolutely a steal compared to Amerino we had in Paris. We bought the Budapest card which offer us not only free ride on most of the public transport, also their luxurious thermal baths. We were so exhausted we were about to give up the hike at night. Lucky thing we did not. Look at the night view, it is all worth while. </div>

Having dinner in the kitchen with that three men (dammit, too public to call them <strike><i>sohai</i></strike>) were just like yesterday. I do miss Alex's cooking, a lot! And our daily-'apa mau masak?'-conversation, or or Aldi/Asda anyone?<br />
<br />
Well, if you think my life in UK is only about food... Yeap, you're right. <strike><i>干!没志气的家伙</i></strike> Okay la, not all, but most of the time its pretty dull. But it does get a lil more interesting when I took a vacay once in awhile to keep my brain functioning while making plans. The downside of not blogging things in time is that you will forget most of the things, and I still have not learned my lesson. LOL.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, visited Brussels, Cologne and Prague with Sharon, Mel and Esther last June (which is 9 months ago?????? holy lazy ass you joannloo, now only blog). Here's a vlog, you will see a lot of a very rounded-face me, and try to ignore that. I'm sorry, lol. More of the trips next time.<br />

I've started postcrossing a year ago and I'm still doing it today.<br />
<br />
The basic idea is to send a postcard to a random address assigned to you and receive a surprise mail back from a random person in the world.<br />
<br />
It all started last year when I was still in UK, I came across the official postcrossing website and sent my first postcard. I couldn't stop since then. I check my mailbox once every few days to see if I got my postcards back and get all excited reading what they have written for me.<br />
<br />
Back in Liverpool, the hall receptionist saw me holding a big stack of postcards and asked,<br />
<b><i>"How many postcards have you gotten so far?"</i></b><br />
To be honest, I have no idea how many exactly I have in my collection so I made a rough guess<br />
<i><b>"Maybe 20?" </b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>

I rushed up to my room to look at my postcards wall, I was astonished learning that I have received more 50 postcards in just a couple of months! I've my favorite postcards pasted on my wall using blu-tacks. I rearrange them from time to time and reread the messages behind, it reminds me about how these little mails brighten my days back in Liverpool.<br />
<br />
I totally love this idea! Receiving mails with lovely stamps and postmarks from unheard places, learning their cultures, knowing their stories of that place, isn't that amazing?<br />
