[Review] Green Sprout Cafe

When I went to visit this cafe a friend introduced to me the other day. I was quite excited as I have an extremely sweet tooth and this cafe sells, yes teatime cakes and desserts! :D So I thought to myself, let's go check it out! Hahha it's been awhile since I've been to a cake shop. The last was Nadeje's Cake House :) The Mille crepes there was to die for! Love that cake shop. Anyways moving on. I didn't manage to take a photo of the surroundings of the cafe. >< Wish I had though, the atmosphere was really nice. 

Okay. So my friends and I decided to get the promotion which was on at the time, which was 4 cakes and 1 pot of tea. It was quite a good deal. Only thing was the portion of cakes were quite small. :/ So that deal turned out to be bad.. -.- Also the service there was slightly below average. The waitress forgot to bring us our tea which we ordered with the cakes! Hmph! We had to ask them for it. 







The illustrations are not that good. *forgive my bad photography skills* >.< From the top left is Tiramisu. Below that is a marble cheese cake. Next to the marble cheese cake is a banana chocolate cake and right above that is the red velvet cheese cake. It all sounds so delicious! *drools* Even the appearance is nice! 

First up is the tiramisu! My honest opinion, the tiramisu is not that bad. However, I feel that they have put too much liquid into it when making it. The texture of it was too watery. Also I find the taste abit too mild. I do love the way they decorated it though! It looks nice! 







Second would be the marble cheese cake! I am a huge fan of cheese cakes! Any cheese cake, I would eat. However, thanks to that I have become extremely picky when it comes to cheese cakes. -.- I expected the marble cheese cake to be delicious. From the looks of the photo, it looks really appetising. But when I used my fork to get a bite. The disappointment was evident. The cake was so hard! Like seriously, I had to wait for the cake to melt a little before I could eat it. Maybe they froze the cake too much. I have not ate a cheese cake so hard. The taste however was fine. It was not too sweet yet not too bland either. It was just fine. :) The chocolatey pattern is also pretty! :D






Third would be the red velvet cheese cake! 😍😍 Red velvet is also another one of my top favourite cakes! I absolutely adore red velvet. My expectations for this was also quite high. Sadly it did not meet my expectations at all. This is by far the worst red velvet cake I've tasted so far. *sobs* I chose that since it was a mix of cheese and red velvet and thought it would be a really really delicious combination since both cheese and red velvet are on the top of my list of favourite cakes. This was really a letdown. The decoration was pretty and it looked mouthwatering until you take a bite. Then it shatters all your hopes for it. The red velvet base just became crumbs the moment you tried to cut it. The cheese on top was a little too hard. Perhaps a little overbaked. :/ I ended up only eating the cheese on top. The red velvet base was also extremely dry and crumby as I've mentioned above. 








Lastly, is the banana chocolate cake. I didn't expect much from this since the first three were already letdowns. *sigh* However, the cake was slightly above average actually! I like this cake. :) The way they decorated the cake is really nice. The taste of the chocolate cake was not too sweet as some chocolate cakes could be and the banana in the cake, it was a little too ripe, but it's fine otherwise. :) Also this cake was wobbly which was cute! They used a tooth pick to hold all the layers together. The strawberry on top was abit sour. Overall I like this cake the best. :D The other three were just letdowns. :(






In conclusion, the cakes of this cafe is not to die for. Their cakes are only okayish. Some are even below average. Hmph. The plus points of this cafe is they don't only serve cakes and drinks, they also have main course meals which you can have there. Mostly western though. Here's a photo of my friends and I that day! :D 






Rating: 2/5 
I wouldn't revisit. :)

[Review] Artistry Signature Eyes

Hey guys! :) I'm back with another post today but first, Happy Wesak Day everyone!! :D Today will be my first time doing a beauty review on Artistry! hahah so excited! ^^ 

I recently got Artistry Signature Eyes Automatic Liquid Liner, in black! ^.^ The price is a little on the pricey side for an eyeliner. 



Simple pencil design. :) 



The fine tip. 



The automatic liquid eyeliner is in the form of a pencil, thus making it really easy to handle. The fine tip also makes the drawing process really simple. :) 



Three fine lines beautifully drawn. 



The first line is when it's drawn once. As you can see there are the thicker lines which I have drawn over the same line reapeatedly. :) It is waterproof and I tried it out by spraying some water on it using a spray bottle I got from étude house. :) 



Spray bottle from étude house



No smudging although sprayed with water 


As you can see in the illustration above the eyeliner doesn't smudge when sprayed with water. However, if rubbed then it'll come off easily. 


After rubbing with water.. 

The illustration above shows when rubbed with water.


The pros: 
1. Really fine lines
2. Easy to handle.
3. Clean clear lines
4. Doesn't smudge
5. Waterproof. But don't rub it. 
6. Easily removed. doesn't require make up remover. Can be removed with water 

The cons: 
1. Slightly more pricey. 
2. If accidentally rub will smudge 
3. Takes some time to dry. If not completely dry then it'll smudge.


Overall: 3/5 

I'm neutral on this. ;) I probably will repurchase and I'm satisfied with the product when I use so far. :)

Can I Have This Dance?

I'm a hopeless romantic. I admit. I am. I'm extremely romantic at heart. I have no idea why but I was probably made that way. :) At 4am in the morning, just as I was about to close my eyes to visit dream land. A thought came to my mind when I heard the soft music played through my iPad. I was touched by the song. My heart felt it so deeply inside. I haven't felt this way since him. 

It was about 9 months ago when I called it off with my boyfriend at the time. I guess you could say I still miss him in a way, although what he did was unforgivable. I can't help but go back to the time when he was still mine. I guess I loved him more than he loved me. Maybe that's why I had such a difficult time letting go. I couldn't let go, even after we broke up. I didn't know how to do it. All I did was run away. I ran away from the feelings I still had for him. That was probably the best three months I had with him. I still remember the little things he did for me. Every one of them. The desire to run back into his arms were overwhelming in the beginning and gradually I became better at ignoring those feelings. There was this time I fell ill, he played nurse and took care of me. Another when I had found out I failed my test. I was devastated. He lent me his shoulder to cry on and hugged me without saying anything just through his actions I could feel it, his presence comforting me through my worse fears assuring me that it would be alright, the sun will still shine. I still remembered he wiped my tears and kissed me gently. Letting me know that through thick or thin he would be there for me. 

He was my best friend, my confidante, my everything. My world was intruded by him. My world became brighter and happier thanks to him. I was on cloud 9, everything was everything that I wanted. I was unbelievably happy. Nothing could dampen my spirits, it really seemed that I was high all the time. :) I met his friends, I spent time with him. All the time spent turned into treasured memories. Then came the time, I had prom and he brought me to it as my date. I was so excited. ^.^ That was the first time I had a date to prom. He looked handsome and dashing. That night was wonderful, and we danced although he was really tall even in heels I only reached his shoulder. -.- But I would never forget staring into those beautiful eyes. I got lost in them. Mesmerised so deeply by the depths there. :) I shared many of my first times with him. My first kiss, my first dance, my first love. Those were some of the happy memories. 

Then came the sour part of our relationship. He did one of the most despicable things one could do to one's other half. He started to ignore me, chat less. He went out more with others. Gone to play. Drink till drunk. Worse was the chatting with another girl and allowin her to call him endearments and vice versa. There were so many danger signs. I didn't want to face reality and so I ignore my intuition till I couldn't anymore. My dream came to an end. It turned into a nightmare. He claimed he did nothing wrong. Claiming that he was right. After all he was just helping out a friend. I wanted him to look only at me but I guess that was not possible. I wanted it so much to be true that he could only look at me but he couldn't. I naively believed that he could and would change for me. I had to find out the hard way. By plummeting down to earth with no one to catch me. He was no longer there for me. He completely shattered my heart then stomped on the million pieces it had become. To this day, I do not know what I did wrong. I never knew the answer of why he did it. I guess I'll never know why it all happened as well as what I did wrong or whether or nt it was my fault. 

Difficult as it is, only now is my heart whole again but I'm not ready to have it shattered again. It's ridiculous, when we look at others going through such a situation we say how hard could it be to let go, but little do we know that letting go is the hardest part of a break up. The point of me being a hopeless romantic? Well, I know I went off topic. Heheh but my point being I'm hopeless when it comes to romantic gestures even if it's in the movie. I cry at every little thing. And yes, before you ask, the short description above describes my first love which I couldn't forget and get over until recently.  That was really romantic of me and also the hardest for me to get over. I miss you.  I miss the times we spent together laughing in each other's presence enjoying the fact that we were together for yet another moment but that has all come to an end the moment you had another choice besides me. There isn't, cannot be another choice. There should only be me. If there isn't then well I guess it's time for me to go my own way. :') Our songs, everytime I listen it reminds me of us and makes me reminiscence and wonder what would and could have been. Sadly even for a hopeless romantic who wishes that one day her one true love would appear and that her love story could be like a fairy tale, has to go through heart break which takes a long time to heal and recover. However, there will always be scars left behind which will fade with time but never forgotten. 

I dream that one day my other half will find me and walk through life with me hand in hand. I will wait for that time. Now I'll just deal with the loneliness that strikes and stirs up from time to time. The one that will treat me right and love a hopeless romantic and all other aspects of my personality for who I am. For now my other half is just a mere dream. Also some find love letters, flowers, and a few others corny. :/ but I however, find them extremely romantic. Haha :P The 'Love Game', they call it.. You have to dare to take the risk and leap of faith to play this game. I believe that my heart will be up for another chance to play at the game if the chance comes around. For now a break it is from that game. :) 

Anyways it's really early now.. I should get some shut eye.. I'm a hopeless romantic with dreams. ^.^

Let's celebrate!

Hey guys! I'm back here again after being halfway through finals! Aaaaanddd yes it's awesome!! The most dreaded subject of all has been cleared and the second most analysing subject has also been cleared! :D 


So that's why.. Let's relax a little before continuing to study for the remaining to subjects. Anyways after my criminal paper today, I felt like a heavy burden has lifted! Seriously! No joke!! I was that stressed over my criminal law and contract law paper. Not so much for contract law but I was seriously panicking for criminal law. I feel that I didn't do so well for contract law and I did okay for criminal law. 

Okay . Enough. No more talk of studies. Moving on to what I would like to say.. Hahah 

One. I have gotten the things I bought online! Extremely excited to share with you guys! Hehe 

Two. I'm extremely excited due to the fact that the horrors of my finals are over and I'm only left with the remaining that aren't that scary. 

Three. I spent and extremely happy and fun time with my friends after exams today and we went crazy! 

Four. I'm finally looking forward to an awesome sleep earlier tonight! Heheh 

Five. I've just thought of my next blog post which just makes me extremely excited to share with you guys! 


Well out of the list... I'll explain my day today first then in my next blog post I will be telling you about the crazy list I made up in my head during the jam today. My hauls online that I got I'll share with you guys when I get all of it.. Heheh 

Okay.. I shall not get off track again I swear.. Hahah not. ;P 

My fun day started like after my paper ended. We decided to drop by pontian wantan noodles house in SS15 for lunch I had chicken chop, Nia and Jaz had wantan noodles. :) it was delicious! You should seriously drop by to try it! I'm sorry I didn't get any photos as I was extremely hungry! My stomach was growling in the exam hall! Then I had to detour to the LRT station to get my items! 😍 I waited for about 20 mins for my things! Hehheh then we went to lunch.. 

After that Nia and I headed to KL to get her stuff. After collecting her things, we dropped by Amcorp Mall cause I wanted to check out the Artz and Crafts shop, Craft Haven. XD they sell alot of arts and craft supplies that I felt overwhelmed. -.- Definitely will be back to check it out further as I was pressed for time. >~< totally unsatisfied plus I saw book xcess! 😍 that is my haven! I have like this whole list of books that I wanna get! Haven't bought a book to read in so long! Miss the feel of staying in and lounging on my couch with a book the whole afternoon and lazing the day away. :D *sigh* that's definitely on the top priority of my to-do list. 

Anyways that's all I did today after my paper. Gotta go. 

But before I go here's a selfie of me and my friend, Nia!! Introducing the two craziest people on this earth! 


A selfie of myself. :) The happy kid I've turned into! >.~ 



Introducing my crazy friend, Nia! :D 


Peace out! ^.^V 
XOXO

Release Stress :)

After the horrible experience with contract law paper.. I had an unpleasant experience. Not so good. Panicked the night before, over-stressed myself and then blackout in the exam hall during the exam. -.- Worst experience ever. I don't ever want to experience that ever. I can say that before this I have never ever experienced such horrors in the exams. I never thought facing exams in such a state was that horrifying. 😱😱 Others that have experienced this have told me of it but I didn't completely believe when they say it's absolutely horrifying. However, now I completely 100% believe in those experiences and will never say that it is just an over exaggeration of facts. NEVER! 


Anyways after the horrible encounter, we decided to go for lunch. We went for lunch at this restaurant called 'The Local' in Jaya One, PJ. The atmosphere and scenery as well as the design doesn't seem too bad. It is also nice to sit in there and chat. :) They also hung several nice pictures on the wall as decoration. I would say it is a pretty decent restaurant! :D 



The scenery and widespread tables which gives it a spacious feel. 



The various pictures on the walls which are all works of art.  


Now moving on to the food. :) Here's the photos of the things I ordered. :P 



Sirap Selasih 



Fish Keropok




Fried Chicken Chop


It looks appetising doesn't it! *drools* It's appearance is really appetising and makes you want to devour the food. :) The taste of the food is also not bad! I ordered fried chicken chop with black pepper sauce and also an additional bowl of fish keropok which I have been craving! Cravings satisfied! :D Usually in most shops the portion of food is quite small but in this case, the portion is huge! O.O hahah just kidding! The portion was just right, for me at least. ;P The chicken was well fried and not overly done that the chicken would be too dry when eaten. The fries were the usual. Hahah I don't know any other way to describe fries! XD The fish keropok is also average but I would give this one a plus point as it had a fishy taste at least. Some of the fish keropok doesn't even taste like fish it tastes more like flour. :( As for the pink drink, it is called 'sirap selasih', it tastes basically like syrup but then with the addition of mata kucing. I think that's what the tiny things in the drink is called. However, they should consider adding more sugar as the sirap tastes a little bland.. :) That's all I ate for lunch anyway. Hahah 


My meal! ^.^V 

After that we chatted for awhile more then we headed back home to study more. As we went back we dropped by McDonald's and I got a sundae cone and a hello kitty! I have collected both the hello kitties that have been released so far. :) hahha it's so cute! Just a warning I'm not a hello kitty fan. I just so happen to really like the McDonald's collectibles. XD 


My Hello Kitties from McDonalds, from left the magician and the clown! :)


Aren't they just so cute? XD I'm tiring into a McDonald's collectibles collector. XD Ridiculous! The thing is these doesn't come cheap as well.. On their own one hello kitty goes at the price of RM16.90 I think but with a set meal or purchase of any food from them, the hello kitties is sold at the price of RM10 each. I have absolutely no idea where I'm ever going to keep these things but I'm going to collect them anyway.. :) Well, after that I headed home to rest up and study for the next paper. I'm sure criminal law is going to be worse than contract law so yeah. I'm going to go through hell in about two days. :D 


Till the next post later I guess.. :P I have a strong feeling that I'll be back soon.. Like real soon.. This is already my second time back within 24 hours! LOL! Also I have fulfilled yet another New Years resolution which is to study hard which I did! Although I did encounter a blackout. Perhaps criminal law would treat me better. :P 

TTFN! :D

A Simple Thought

We were getting along so well, getting to know each other even more... What happened to us? Why did we turn out like this? Once upon a time we were doing almost everything together.. Chatting all the time. You used to call me in the morning before you started your day.. I used to chat with you till the wee hours of the morning.. We used to plan so many things together.. Our paths seemed to be intertwined so tightly.. I always thought and believed whole-heartedly that we could be more. I miss you. I miss your presence in my life. My world once so bright and brilliant has dimmed a little more at the loss of you. Perhaps you do not feel the same way. :) I miss the happy times where you would always be there for me. You were always there to cheer me up. You lent me a shoulder to lean on when I needed one. You challenged and cheered me on when I tried something new. You soon became a friend I truly treasure and wished there could be more but some things just won't go your way no matter how much I wish for it to be true in my heart. I guess the time is up for us. Even a dreamer such as I would have to acknowledge defeat when the bell rings. Our time is up. I guess we just weren't meant to stay in each other's lives but just a stop on the way to something greater. I wish I could turn back time and experience once more the happy times which are now memories. Those memories will be treasured and kept and relived from time to time when I walk down memory lane. :) 


A girl lying in the grass and staring into the distance. :) 


From close friends to aquaintances to strangers. Fate has a funny was of twisting things and time revealing it. Perhaps we would meet again in the future and be the best buddies or more. I can't say that I could wait indefinitely for something that isn't set in stone and can be washed away on the sand at the beach. I wish our friendship lasted longer but alas my wish did not come true. It was amazing while it lasted. You taught me to stand on my own two feet and fight for what I wanted. If it wasn't meant to be don't fret about the past and look forward to the future as the future holds a great many surprises be it happy or sad or enlightening. :) Some wishes just won't come true no matter how hard your heart wishes for it. Some wishes can be achieved with hardwork. Some wishes can come true when you have true friends that can hear the voice of your heart! 


Inspiring Quote by Susan Daniels :) 


I am an easygoing and happy-go-lucky girl. :) There are times and things that would even bring me down from my happy place, but I know I have important and treasured friends and family that would stand by me and help me stand up again. I don't need many friends who I cannot trust or share my life experiences and thoughts with them. I only want a handful of friends that I can trust and share my honest thoughts without fear of being judged. True friends. :) That's all that I want. I want true friends that I can truly call my friends. I have a handful of true friends that have been with me throughout the ups and downs in life. Along the way I have met many that has taught me a life lesson and then went their own separate ways. Some stayed some left. Not many remained at the end of the day. Most came for a brief period of time then disappeared after awhile. The friendship just faded and died a natural death. True friends stay and even if we take different paths we would still be there for each other encouraging and lending a shoulder when possible. Bonds of friendship that keeps us together through thick and thin. :) 



Live life the way you want it and not how others want it to be! :D 


Be it friends or lovers. The future holds limitless possibilities. It's upto you to take ahold of your destiny and shape it into what you want it to be! The past holds the life lessons and mistakes you should learn from as well as the treasured memories of happy times! The present holds the moments that could be made into happy memories to be treasured when you take a step back in the future and walk down memory lane to see how far you have come! :D

Althea : Bare Essentials (First Look)

Hey guys! I'm back again with a review of Althea's Skincare line. I just received my parcel about a week ago. I thought of writing a...
