Father's Day & Mother's Day.

 photo IMG_8663_zps178df208.jpg

Father's day was couple of days ago & this time, for the 2nd time, we celebrated it at my workplace. I had to work tt day so i thought why not get my dad & the twins to the restaurant for a Father's Day Brunch. At least i could see my dad for Father's day.

I had a extremely exhausting Sunday. Busy for breakfast & brunch. I was so worn out by the time brunch service was about to end, my body was shutting down on me alr. But even in the midst of my business, as i looked out the kitchen to steal glances at my dad spending time w the twins & laughing so happily.. It gave me a warm tingling feeling. I felt a sense of relieve & glee in my heart.

The last time i saw my dad smile tt warmly would be when i was 6. Sisters and i were 6 & 7 then. My dad wld often bring us to the TPY Safra indoor playground which was absolute fun, to play. As we were ran around playing, i looked down at my dad & saw him looking up. He wore an expression which seemed to say "Look at my daughters playing so happily like there is no care in the world. I am happy that they are happy."Then he smiled. That is one moment i will never forget.

Mother's Day was spent at Habitat Coffee which my fam & i hv been frequenting quite a lot recently. We surprised our mum the following day with a roomful of flowers & decorated her bed frame with pictures of the family & twined bright orangy leaves around her bed frame.

The moment she stepped into her room aft work & saw the variety of flowers lined up against the wall & family portaits hung above her bed, she smiled & the look on her face was priceless.


We do things like these to make our parents smile not because it's an occasion & we ought to do it. No, not tt way. We do it because we love our parents & we treasure them for all the hardship they've been through to get us to where we are today. We do it not to please them, but to give them back the countless hours they spent working their butts off for us, just for a moment of happiness where they will remember it for life. Things like these, mean a lot to them. To know tt their children still care goes a long way.

My well trained furball! Taught her to sit & stay while she waits for us to scoop food into her bowl. She is only allowed to eat once we give her the command to do so. I think its impt for dogs to be well disciplined tt they know not to walk all over you & know tt their owner is the leader.

Made for her brown rice, carrots & craberries! Keeping her healthy! (:

Cake Spade

 photo IMG_8304_zps86bafbbb.jpg

I am a fool for desserts & i have a really sweet tooth! But tt doesnt mean i like every dessert tt's put into my mouth. I am a fussy dessert eater! Hahaha dont even know if that even makes any sense..

But anw, a schoolmate of mine js opened a cake shop called 'CAKE SPADE'. I hv seen her cakes through fb or instagram but never tried it once. Made a trip down to her cake shop couple of weeks aft she opened to try her cakes & i gotta say.. HER CAKES/BROWNIES TASTE LIKE A SLICE OF HEAVEN I SWEAR! I'm not being biased when i say this. The texture of Cake Spade's signature Toufu Cheesecake is damn smooth & not too creamy. Def taste nothing like your usual cheesecake you get else where. This is WAYYY better. I know the thought of toufu in your cheesecake makes you cringe(i did), but trust me, it taste soooo good! So good u wanna have another slice!

Also, the brownie is fudgy & chewy!!! Just the way i like it & how brownies should be(to me at least)!! Brought 3 of my friends there & they all loved it too! Even R, who's not a dessert person absolutely loved 3 cakes he tried!

YOU GUYS HAVE TO HEAD DOWN TO CAKE SPADE TO TRY THEIR DESSERTS! IT WONT DISAPPOINT IT'S TT GOOD!

Little Pancakes.

Rmbr my post on "Little Pancakes" here? Well you can read all about it here! So anw, i brought my friends there for supper & they liked it just as much as i did. However, i realized the size of their pancakes shrinked A LOT more compared to the past few times i dined there. Oh well. Despite the change in size, their pancakes still taste just as awsome! (:

Still, i prefer the first few times i ate there. The portion given was way more worth it.
