In life, there will be times when we make a bad decision without knowing it. And then there are times when we still make that bad decision despite knowing full well what will happen.
And yet, we just can’t help ourselves. Love, work, whatever; you name it, you have it.
For me, my bad decisions always involve caffeine. Or rather, my impulse to down a good cuppa.
Update 20 Jan 2025: Humble Origins has closed.
Happiness is a scoop of vanilla ice cream; all other things are secondary.
If you’ve been hanging around LT 11 and 12 at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (NUS), you’d probably have noticed a quiet and cozy cafe run by cap-donning baristas- that’s right, I’m talking about Humble Origins Cafe which opened in August last year.
Drawn in by its relaxed atmosphere and soothing music, I’ve been frequenting Humble Origins for its drinks in between classes, but I never tried its array of baked goods that practically beg to be eaten whenever I head to the counter for a Root Beer Float or Coffee with Ice Cream.
Well, this week I finally gave in to temptation and succumbed to not one, but three of the “new” items on the menu! Oh, the joys of indulgence
I’m feeling pretty excited right now, because I’m gonna try something different for today’s post!
After seeing (and sharing) countless OOTD-related posts on my Instagram feed, I’ve decided to share some of my own from last week. C:
For the uninitiated, OOTD simply stands for Outfit of the Day, where people from all over the world share their get-ups for anything and everything, be it school, work, or a simple day out.
I hope you’ll like what I’m about to share here, especially the ladies 😀
When I first heard the name Tiong Bahru Bakery, I honestly thought it would be one of those old-school, steam-filled joints with pastry makers hawking their wares in a quaint, forgotten corner of Singapore.
I couldn’t be more wrong; it’s actually a new bakery started by Spa Esprit Group in collaboration with Gontran Cherrier. But enough with the facts; let’s get on to the really important bits: the pastries!
It was a busy weekend afternoon when I popped by the branch at Raffles City for a light tea break after dropping off my film for development at Peninsula Plaza. Luckily, the place is big enough to accommodate the weekend crowd, so I managed to find myself a seat within in a minute, quite a feat for a weekend tea stint in town!
Update 20 Jan 2025: District 10 has closed.
There’s nothing that I love more than a night of good food and good company, and with the newly opened Star Vista a mere three stops away from school, these two things are easily within reach after a long day of classes. C:
On the advice of my friends, and the sheer need of having an online portfolio for my work, I’ve decided to set up this little space in the World Wide Web for all my writing exploits! I’ve always loved writing since I was young; from short stories in primary school, to event articles for my Publications CCA in university, and hopefully, this blog will push me to write more regularly amid my studies C:
Keep your eyes peeled! 😀
