Just cause one day isn't enough

Hi there! So here is a continuation of my birthday celebrations with my lovely hall friends ( a rather short and sweet one cause I gotta head out soon ). Anyhow, I had to wake up early to go to the airport to do some filming for a school project and since I was all the way at the east, I met the pretty Iimel at Pasir ris after I was done. We didn't really know what to do so we decided to head to millennia walk as I wanted to eat Rakuzen for dinner later. So first stop for today was Patisserie G. I have tried it before and it never fails to amaze me. I do love their pastries! The first time I was there, I tried their famous G spot which is made up of dark chocolate mousse with chocolate meringue and has a layer of chocolate hazelnut praline crunch below. Fans of chocolate will definitely love this, super thick and chocolaty.

After being tempted by the different pretty desserts, we've decided to go for the saint honore. It is a cream puff lightly glazed with caramel. I found it a little difficult/unglam to eat but it was really yummy as well.

After htht-ing for a couple of hours, everyone started arriving at millennia walk but PARCO was closed for renovations = rakuzen isn't open :( Damn. Why didn't I google about the place before heading there. So we had to come up with other alternatives and I was craving for ramen that night so the nearest ramen restaurant we found was at City Hall called Menya Musashi.

I ordered the red cha shu ramen as I'm a huge fan of spicy broth but to my disappointment, it wasn't spicy at all :/ The cha shu was tough and bland as well. The only redeeming point was the noodles. I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon.

Hehe after our meal, my friends surprised me with two cheesecakes from Lady M. Naww thanks guys :)

Made a wish and blew out the candle. Gosh, I'm 22 already :O Don't want to grow up so quickly, feels like I still have so many things on my bucket list. Anyhow, I love hanging out with ZAG. It's funny how we communicate by 'making fun' or 'insulting' each other and the same jokes still crack me up all the time. Love them loads! <3

After dinner, it was time to partyyyy. Iimel, Derek, Ivan, Wen Bin and I headed to zouk. I had fun initially while we were drinking and catching up with each other lives but it was insanely crowded when we went into the dance floor  :( Became a little unbearable and we headed back at 2am. Though it wasn't the best clubbing experience but I'm still happy cause it was my birthday :)

At the end of the day, I very much did enjoy myself plus my bangkok trip was just two days later. And guess, what it was my first time to bkk!! lol. Nobody believed me when I told them it was my first time. Haha. I guess I just couldn't find the time to go to bkk before though I've always wanted to go there to shop and eat delicious Thai food. I've heard so much about it from all of my friends and I was pretty excited about going there. Alrighty, I gtg. Will blog about my bkk trip soon. Till the next time everyone :)

Love,

Pisa and Cinque Terre

Hello! It's been a looooong time since I've last posted about my eurotrip and guess it's about time to continue on before I forget everything :O So the next few posts will be on the different cities I've visited in Italy. After Rome, we headed to Pisa where the famous leaning tower is. Haha there's really nothing much to do there except take a mandatory shot of yourself pushing the tower.

Our Harry Potter train cabin look alike  :O

After less than 2hrs at Pisa, we hopped onto the next train and made our way to Cinque terre. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect as I didn't google about that place. All I know was that it is made up of 5 coastal villages. And to my surprise, it was one of the most stunning and beautiful places I have explored throughout my exchange. The colors of the buildings, the view of the ocean, the cool breeze and so on. That place is simply and utterly amazing! I would recommend everyone to at least go there for a few hours or stay a few days if you can, to enjoy the sun and beach. All of us were bummed out that we only allocated a few hours for it :( Since we only had a couple of hours there, we managed to visit 2 out of the 5 coastal villages; Monterosso and Vernazza, which were both splendid!

Monterosso

Can't miss out on having a gelato a day 

Oh yeah, just so you know, we had to hike from one coastal village to the other and it took us 2.5hr to get from Monterosso to Vernazza. It was literally insane and crazy. There were so so so many steps!! Really felt like it was never ending. By the end of the hike, we were sweaty and exhausted but it was an experience and the view was worth the climb (PS. I wore heels the whole hike lol)

A gazillion steps

Our shagged faces

Finally we've reached Vernazza!

Vernazza was gorgeous! I don't even know how to describe its beauty. Oh and I love how the streets in Cinque Terre are like alleys. The buildings are really close to one another that we could climb up and take photos.

At the end of the day, I truly love both Pisa and Cinque Terre. Hopefully I'll have a chance to go there again someday. Till my next Italy post! Goodbye!

Love,
Sam
