Eighth anniversary - Infinity

Again, I'm gonna try to clear my backlog of posts from last year HAHAHA.

Anniversary celebration on 14th Nov 2015

Planned by pok - as it is every year, wahahah.
Monthsary we used to alternate and take turns, but nowadays where got time ~

Like Bimb said, aiya we're 老夫老妻了- no need to do such elaborate shit.

Every day is another day together, after all. (:

As usual, Pok is always late hahahah.
Sometimes I really feel like strangling him, but today's not the day - heheh need to be good gf :B

Heng I waited, because he was actually running around finding a single stalk of blue rose for me (:
Every year he does this, and every year I say the same thing - "AIYA why you waste money! No need la!"
But take already also happy only LOLOL.



He's still unable to find the perfect shade of electric blue for me though :x
#geigao



My #notd !
No elaborate design this year, just our favourite color.
Brunch was at Cream and Custard, which is actually run by one of Pok's secondary sch mates.
They're mostly known for their desserts. but we were quite impressed by their savoury items as well!

Cream & Custard 
Blk 46 Jalan Bukit Ho Swee
#01-894
Singapore 160046

Opening hours: Mon to Sat 11 am to 9 pm
Closed on Sundays

Menu!



Look at his silly face when I gave him his present. (:



Table shot! I have influenced Pok to take them hahahah.
He's better than this than ootds LOLOL.


I had the Baked Carbonara drizzled with Truffle Oil - $15.80
The creamy sauce is not overpowering, flavoured with fragrant bacon, chicken and mushrooms.
The baked crust also gives it a slightly crunchy texture, preventing it from becoming too jelat 



Pok had Oozy Baked Eggs - $14.80
Two of em runny eggs swimming in a spicy tomato sauce, with mushrooms, ham, and mozzarella cheese.
He choose croissant over toast to dip. Wahh warm and nuaaaa, like comfort food only.



Ordered one dessert to share - eh not easy to choose because all the desserts look so tempting!
Or as jh would say, Insta-worthy hahaha.

Damn torn between the recommended choices, and after some deliberation,
we decided to get the Strawberry Watermelon Cake - $6.80



Layers of cream, strawberry, watermelon, and chewy biscuit.
The combination is quite refreshing, with the cream not being cloying or too sweet.
The biscuit layer is a contradiction though..
Its supposed to be a chewy layer, but it tastes slightly too hard to be termed chewy, and a bit lau hong.

I'm not a fan of strawberry, but pok loves it.
We both love watermelon though! So okay la compromise abit la. :B

Wooden spoon ! Cute but not very functional for cutting the cake, especially the base.




I'll be back for you, Black Ball

Next stop, omg CAT CAFE!!

HAHAHAH I've been crazy over that Neko Atsume cat game, and Pusheen wahahah,
until I think Pok is like aiya okay la I bring you to a real cat cafe LOL.




Neko no niwa

Mon, Wed to Fri: 11am to 10pm
Sat, Sun & PH: 10am to 10pm
Closed on Tuesdays


Neko no Niwa charges each person by the hour, and there is no complusory food/drinks charge.
A minimum stay of 1 hour is needed though - as cats take time to warm up to people.

The charges are as listed:

3-Hour Special: S$24*
Whole Day Pass: S$32*
*Reservations are necessary for weekends & public holidays.

Students are also entitled to a free cup of Hot Chocolate - just show your student pass.

I ordered an Iced Chocolate to share with Pok, cause we took a long walk under the sun, cmi..
They gave us a cup cover too, to prevent any er, contamination. HAHA.


The price of the drinks are quite reasonable, but I won't bother with it next time,
because where got time la I wanna focus on the cats. :D

KITTY!


There are 13 cafe cats, each with their own unique personality traits and behavior.
All were rescued and adopted by the cafe owners.


Some of the cats were having their afternoon naps - we're not allowed to disturb sleeping cats.
Typically their nap time is 3-4 pm, so try to avoid that timing if you want maximum kitty roam.



Customers are not allowed to carry cats or disturb those who are feeding too.


Oh, don't worry, the cafe owners are around to guide you how to interact with each kitty.
They're truly professional, and know each cat really well.


Like this kitty - she loves getting her butt patted, and will raise her bum into the air to express her love.
Soooooo adorable!


And this one - if she likes you and feels comfortable, she'll stuff her head into the crook of your arm (:
Pok was so happy when she did that!


This cat - Miley - looks super majestic, but approach her with care.
The owner told us that Miley will turn defensive if you try to pet her with a raised hand,
which leads them to believe that she had been abused by her previous owner.
So sad and angry; I never understood why people would choose to have pets and yet mistreat them.


Another beautiful cat - Emma, with her pure white coat and gorgeous blue eyes.
I learnt an interesting fact - 15% of all white cats with blue eyes are not deaf, and she is one of the rare few,
She is quite shy, and loves to stalk the lady boss hahaha.


Sibei jialat I've a feeling I'm gonna be like crazy cat lady in the future. WAHAHAH.

Moved on to Mint Museum of Toys - and we were sorely disappointed.
Sure, it was interesting to see the different types of toys over the times, and it was quite nostalgic.
Each floor had its own theme - galaxy, era, etc.

However, I felt that the toys were all crammed into the display cases and left there to do a self introduction.
There are little/no information provided, so you either recognize the toys or you don't.
Like huh then how are the younger visitors supposed to know what's going on, LOL.

Last stop - Dinner !
Headed for K.Cook at Orchard Central - cause Pok loves his buffet. #glutton
Ambiance was not bad; we opted for outdoor dining to minimize the bbq smell.
The wind on such high level helped too hehehe.


Awesome day with my awesome boyfriend. :3

It's another year together - and as always, he's an infinite constant in my life.
Through all the ups and downs of life, we will only become stronger, by always supporting each other.
I'm blessed. (:

Le crazy polish haul !

After three (or more) weeks of procrastination, I finally have time to post the swatches!
Sorry la, people had to cope with new job ma. :B

My indie polish supplier Mei Mei's Signatures had a clearance sale some time back.
A purchase of above $200 entitles you to a 50% discount + 1 surprise bottle - LIKE OMG WHY NOT.

So in the end, $102 got me 14 bottles of polish, which is $7 per bottle?!
FYI usually 1 bottle costs at least $18-$25

Rainbow Honey - Mint Flavor
Turquoise leaning mint with silver shimmer
2 coats for opacity.


Rainbow Honey - Tessie
Periwinkle purple with blue shimmer
2 coats to opacity.

I think I have a million colors like this and I'm still in love with periwinkle.

Rainbow Honey - Tiny Ruby
A slightly pinkish leaning red jelly, packed with holo shimmer and glitter.
The formula was good, so 2 coats to opacity.. though under the strong sun slight VNL could be seen.


See the holo shimmer! This red is slightly truer to color


Rainbow Honey - Hanami
A glitter topper, with white and gold micro glitter, and rose pink microglitter and hexes.
Applied over Pretty & Polished - Pretty 2.0

This was inspired by the Japanese custom of flower viewing during the sakura season. 
I thought RH did this polish very well, as the polish brought out the delicacy of the blossoms.


Powder Perfect - Iteru, The River
Royal blue microglitter holographic bomb!
2 coats to opacity

Another color I'm a sucker for.

Powder Perfect does damnnn awesome microglitters. 
This was so sparkly without any top coat !


Had to use two coats of top coat to smoothen it out.. cause shiny glitters are thirsty.


XOXO Nails - Coffee Date
A glitter topper - nude jelly base with bronze hexes.

I painted 1 coat over Dorian Gray..
One day I'm gonna try make mint choco chip nails. :D


Love, Angeline - Magical Romance 2.0
Soft purple, with silver shimmer.

2 coats to opacity, with slight VNL .
The formula was good, color built up easily and was not very streaky.


Pretty & Polished - Pretty 2.0
Pink tinted nude, with pink shimmer and gold flecks.

3 coats to opacity.
First coat was quite sheer and I honestly got a shock. hahaha.


Formula was good, built up easily despite its initial sheerness.


A england - Dorian Gray
Cool pewter grey
1 coat to opacity.

Smooth formula from A england, as usual.
No worries about streakiness!


A england - Her Rose Adagio
Metallic pink holographic polish
At some angles you can see a rose pink duochrome shift.

1 coat to opacity.
A england - still the best holographics.



Emily de Molly - Dead and Dreaming
Dark plum-red holographic polish.
The color and name made me think of dead wilting roses. :D

2 coats to opacity.


Delush Polish - Swans upon a time
White creme base with pink shimmer.

2 coats to opacity.. which is a headache.
The formula was quite thick, and it applied streaky.
A lot of patience is needed to get it smooth.



Jindie Nails - Mango with the Flow
A pastel orange crelly with silver hexes.

Er I'm not sure if I received a faulty bottle or what.. but it was horrible.
Polish was gloopy and there was too much glitter with each coat, no matter how much I tried to wipe it off.
Maybe I need to thin it more.. like a lot more.


I should like to mention I also ordered Rainbow Honey's Spirit of Wonder,  one of their limited edition Christmas polishes.
It was supposed to be a pure white base, but the bottle I got was yellowish.

I emailed Mei Mei, who kindly offered to give me a swap, but her other stocks were faulty too.
She then offered me a refund - which I declined cause its too much of a hassle, and its not really her fault.
I had emailed Rainbow Honey too, and their response was kind of disappointing.
Their representative informed me that it is a common issue for some of their polishes, especially those over two years.
Eh but most of my other indie polishes dont have the same issue leh.. and it felt as if they were just brushing it off.

But its okay. I'm in the process of frankening the polish to get out the yellow tint.

Swatch Spam !

I have a few indie polishes to share today!

I post more frequently on my instagram, but I'm trying to get into the habit of blogging more often.
Instagram is super convenient to post, even on the go, (stupid blogger app never works properly)
but blogging lets me elaborate more.
So I usually save my blog for more long winded reviews. :B

Jindie Nails - Burrrberry
Jindie Nails is another brand which I love for glitter-crelly combinations!
Eh unfortunately for Singapore nail polishaholics,
Mei Mei Signatures has limited stocking for Jindie Nails' newest collections.
My to-die-for Jindie Nails' polish? Dead Roses, a limited edition polish.

Burrr-berry is a white crelly with sky blue, medium blue and magenta circle and hex glitters.
Opaque in 2 coats.

When I see this, it makes me feel like eating berry yoghurt! :D


Powder Perfect - Crinoline
A neutral nude crelly with copper and mint hex glitters.
Opaque in 3 coats


Glam Polish - That Old Black Magic
Black scattered holo, with micro glass flecks.
2 coats for opacity

Feels like a blackened rainbow!


Lumina Lacquer - Take Back the Night 
This is after I applied a matte top coat!

It's actually a black creme with silver micro-glitters and blue-turquoise iridescent hexes.
2 coats, but due to the thick consistency of the polish, 
you can apply one coat over black base to keep the layers thin.


Glam Polish - Don't Go into the Woods.
Part of the Dark Terror Limited Edition set collaboration with Mei Mei Signatures
Dark forest green holo.
1 easy coat did the trick!


Emily de Molly - Harmony
Soft gray with small white, purple and teal hex glitters.

I love the unusual color combination of this one.
Generally my color picks are usually brighter.


Glam Polish - Dark Water
Deep purple holo with micro-glass flecks which I was unable to capture nicely. ):
The accent nail is Color Club - Harp On It, a super strong silver holo!.


Glam Polish - Another Galaxy
Sky blue crelly with teal, blue, and indigo glitters of various shapes; circles, stars and hexes.

This was an old favourite of mine! :D


Indies are my favourite, perfect for days where I'm feeling lazy to do nail art, but still want a mani on. :D
