Distance and Time

MynameisQUE;

Sometimes, I wonder, what makes a person your bestfriend? My bestfriend and I are of 2 different personalities. We're currently both pursuing different things and yet we call each other, bestfriends. Could it be the ability to tell the person everything and anything on your mind without being judged for it? Or could it be that you can hang out with the other person without being someone else? I don't know. Perhaps, at this moment, the term bestfriend seems a little too vague for me. I've seen friendships fade over distance and time, especially as individuals grow older and start to have their own careers, family etc. The thought of friendships fading seems a little scary for me. So does the thought of break ups and divorce. Yikes. What am I rambling? Can this post not be so emo, zomg? 

Here are some photos of 2 very cute girls for your viewing pleasure. Taken at Cafe Le Caire at Haji Lane. Urgh, the place is so gross, food's so expensive and you made us watch golf on the TV. Seriously guys?

Ditched Ignite for my favourite girls

MynameisQUE;

We've been friends since secondary school and grew closer because of the art classes we had. It's a funny friendship. The 3 of us are really of different personalities yet we get along very well with each other. Okay, there are instances where we argue too. 3 girls and so much drama, trust me. Then again, I see ourselves as the Malay version of Powerpuff Girls.

Umairah (left) is will be heading to Australia tomorrow night to further her studies. Big dreams this girl has. I'm so proud of all of us. We've grown so much and we're now young adults. Really blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. Also, we're planning to save up some money to visit her in Australia next year! I'm really excited!

Spot my OCBC FRANK card. :P

Umairah and Wani.

Thank you for the beautiful friendship girls. :")

The first time in 18 years~~

MynameisQUE;

For 18 years of my life, I spent my new year's eve at home with my family. This year, I decided that it should be a little different since I'm much older now. I spent it with my bestfriend and we had fun! Hope you had fun too. ;)

I survived my first month of internship! So, it's pampering time!!

MynameisQUE;

<Not a sponsored/paid post>

I keep reminding myself to update this space but it's been really hard. The moment i reach home, i'll be too tired to even face the laptop. I've worked so hard this year on this blog, (if you haven't noticed)  i can't just let it go to waste. I've been having internship for about a month now and I'm thankful for this opportunity. I have the nicest colleagues and bosses. So far, everything's going fine and i haven't gotten into trouble. (Choy!) 

Really counting on this internship to determine what i'll do after i graduate. I have 3 choices for now. 1 of them is an offer to work at an events management company. Someone has offered to groom me into an events planner. Sidetrack, i've also been offered to write for Waves magazine by Manisha which I probably am gonna take up next year since it's just a freelance thing. I am thankful for the offers. However,  I'll need to think carefully as it concerns my future. I've been doing too much thinking, my head hurts so let's save the thinking for another time!! T.T"

 Time to share with you a pampering session i had with my bestfriend at Bonafides, Centrepoint. She's been complaining about backaches and i stumbled upon a good offer on a fellow blogger's blog so I decided to book an appointment for 2 on the eve of Christmas! 1 person -$38, bring a friend and it'll cost you $60 altogether. 

Great deal right? 

I should have requested for a couple room so that we could have the massage in the same room together. (not that my bff and i are together or something. We're completely straight!) just that it's my first time and i felt really nervous man, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. 

The lady sent me to this room and she didn't tell me that i was supposed to take off my clothes. Haiya, i thought she would give me instructions but I was wrong. So.... Silly me just sat in 1 corner and used my iphone tweeting/fb-ing since i was alone in the room. #foreveralone i know. Then after 10 minutes, she checked back and was shocked to see me....... Fully clothed.

 LOL i told her that i didn't know what to do and we giggled. Hahahhahaha her vocab was pretty limited so she showed me the disposable underwear and said something, something "pi ku". And then i said, "ah... Panties?" and she nodded. Thank god i understand simple mandarin. Hahahhahha my chinese friends in secondary school thought me this,"Ni de pi ku hen da". 

Sorry, i don't know how exactly you write that in hanyu pin yin but that just means that "Your butt is very big". Hahahhahhaha sigh..... See what my friends have done to me. 

So yes, back to the massage. Despite her limited vocab, she still made an effort to converse with me and that's what I honestly like about the service. Most of the staff at Bonafides aren't english speaking. The masseusse is from China and she's been here for 10 years. You don't have to possess A plus english. As long as you make the effort to converse (and not keep quiet) + serve your customers with a smile, it's already good service. :) thank you Bonafides for the good service and shiok massage.

Here's the lucky lady who got to massage me. Ahahhahahahhahaa please, she's really lucky because other than my mum, no other lucky lady have seen me butt naked. :P 

Anyway, this was what we were served after the massage. It's called Ginko? I think. Tastes damn good and refreshing!

Anyway, Bonifides provides a wide range of service from massages, manicure, pedicure and even hair pampering services! 

Here's my bff and me after the session! We're thinking of going back again but this time for hair treatment but we're still surveying the different alternatives. My hair really needs some pampering!! 

Then after that we went to H&M to do some shopping. Haha bought some stuff, shall show you guys in another post! I bought mostly accessories. They don't sell UK 20-22 at H&M, so don't bother looking if you're my size. Even accesories wise, there isn't much variety. I'd choose to buy stuff from F21 any day but since I had a $100 gift card which i got from a blogger's event, might as well i make full use of it. 

Almost purchased this hat. But.... Haha nah... 

Bff is obsessed with cropped tops. LOL 

Here's a skater dress. 

I actually dislike this picture alot but I'm too lazy to take a new one. I hate how my smile doesn't seem genuine. Haiya. Need to remind self to smile sincerely. 

I thought this bag was not bad. Simple and eyecatching. 

Rings 

Earrings 

Well anyway, it looks like I'm ending 2011 with a big bang this year. Quite excited because things are going very well for me. (And this blog!) <3 

Much loves,

Birthday dinner at Fika Cafe and Bistro!

MynameisQUE;

It's been a week since I turned 19. Yay!

See. I love you all so much that I saved each and every one of your DP's from Facebook/Twitter to make this awesome collage. Thank you to every single one of you for your sweet kind wishes via Twitter/FB/Whatsapp/SMS/Calls. I'm very touched. :)

I'm sure you wanna know how I celebrated my birthday on the 26th September 2011. My bestfriend and me are both librans and our birthdays are only 11 days apart so we decided to celebrate it together. This time we headed to Haji Lane right after going to City Hall to do my hair and to buy the instax mini camera which I blogged about HERE.

We've never actually been to Haji Lane much so we decided to explore that place for the first time in our lives. Hahahahaha please don't make that face. Of course we've been to Arab street and Haji lane. Just that we've never checked out any of the shop houses there.

Girls being girls, we took pictures as usual.

One photo taken at the Blogshop. 

Dinner at Fika Cafe and Bistro. 

My bestfriend was very fickleminded. We actually made reservations for 6pm and then she told me to push it to 7pm. So I called and a cute guy answered the phone btw. :P  I changed the reservation and then she said.... "Too early or not ah? Eh change to 8pm ah". 

SO I CALLED TO CHANGE. 

In the end, at 7 plus, she told me she was hungry. (Okay I lied, I was hungry too. *Tuck in my belly*) So.... we headed to Fika and reached there around 7.15pm eventhough our reservation was for 8pm. 

Okay lah, cannot blame us because we skipped lunch too. 

Just imagine the gig in my tummy! 

I ordered Pucko - Tastes somewhat like Milo but it's from Sweden okay. Hahahaha

Bff ordered Honest Tea. - Which should be named HEALTHEA instead. 

Geddit, geddit? Healthy tea = HEALTHEA HAHAHAHA

It wasn't sweet at all, so if you drink it, confirm won't put on weight. Heehee!

Yours truly ordered their Swedish Meatball which is their specialty. 

It's delicious but I was freaking starving okay, so uh.... Thank god for the Potato which is the only source of carbo for dinner. Healthy, healthy. Very good. :P

My bestfriend ordered STEAK. Hahahaha I was shocked when I heard because my bestfriend is a small eater, but everytime I go out with her I tell her to EAT. Please lah, when you go out with me, there's no such thing as DIETING. Food is important. GOOD FOOD IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT! Kekeke. 

This is A +. I'm not really much of a red meat lover but this was delicious! 

Potato Wedges in cheese or whatever they call it. To be honest, I wasn't impressed by this at all. It's something I can also do at home, so even if you are a cheese lover, don't waste money. 18 Chef's bolognese cheese fries is WAYYYY better. 

I was too shy to turn around to snap a pic of the cafe so I guess a reflection will do yeah? :P 

Besides the camera that I bought for her, she also got another camera which her bf bought as a birthday present for her. And look!! It's the same camera as the one I won!! (Will blog about it SOON!! Promise!!) We both have same camera models now. See, BFF okay! 

As you can see, the colour tones for both photos are very different. My bff likes this yellowish mode (refer to the photo with me in it) and I like the normal white mode (yes, the right one). I don't like photos that make me look too yellow-ish. Sorry, just colour preference. :D

Here's a photo taken using her camera. I really like the photo except the annoying yellow colour thing and the DATE AND TIME. I told her the date and time makes it so ugly but she doesn't want to listen. Hahahaha see, we are bestfriends and have similarities but our tastes are quite different also. 

Wani, if you're reading this.... This date and time thing is dangerous for pretty girls like you, you know. If some psycho has access to your FB and looks at your photo, he can always say... 

"On the 26th September about 7, were you at Haji Lane???" 

*Psycho face*

HAHAHAHAHA 

If you don't listen to me, wait one day kena don't say I never warn you ah...

Overall I think the food at Fika is quite average. We spent a total of $70 +++ for 2 people. Seriously. If I brought my family along, it'll probably cost us $150? I'd rather go to some other restaurant with that kind of money. At least now we know how Fika is and I don't think I'll be going there again unless I want to burn a hole in my pocket. Or if you want to save money, just order iced water instead of sweet drinks like us. Then again, each cup of ice water you order is 50 FREAKING CENTS. Seriously?!

Haha I'll be blogging about my birthday dinner with my family very soon. We had dinner at an Indonesian restaurant. DAMN DELICIOUS. So.... Just wait for it okay? :)

Here are some of the photos we took using the instax mini camera! 

Some camwhoring shots I took that day. :)

2011 has been an awesome year! I can't wait to recap everything! Can't wait to get the clothes I ordered from my favourite plus size blogshop Qiqi Plus. It's preorder so if you can't wait, please don't buy. My bff helped to pay like half of it so I'm quite happy!!! Service is good, price wise okay lah. Not that cheap and not too expensive. Plus size clothes that are normally "cheap" are normally of shitty material. That is another rant for another blogpost. Thank you for reading this blog by this small fry blogger. 

DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" ME ON FACEBOOK 

(eventhough you don't LIKE me in real life HAHAHAHA)!

Streats Hong Kong Café

MynameisQUE;

It's really hard to find halal food places serving Hong Kong and Chinese cuisine. So if you've never tried, you should really head down to Streats Hong Kong Cafe! Service is good, food is good too. Here's what I had with my bestfriend. The one I went to was at E-hub Downtown east. :) 

Yummy drinks! ~~ 

Century egg

Black pepper squid

Fried noodles 

Here's my bestfriend with baked rice with black pepper beef! 

No picture of me because I wasn't looking my best. :P 

Currently, this is our favourite eating place! Good food and not crowded. Yums!!
