Cherish the Moments



In life, we often complain about the people, the moments or anything. But if you realize, time really flies. It's been almost 4 years since the first day I entered Singapore as a student. Life has been pretty good to me, there was no big obstacle for me.

My parents came here last week. One thing I can say is: I'm truly blessed to have them in my life. When I'm still in Jakarta, I don't really cherish the moments I have with my dad, mom and brother. But after spending few years in Singapore, I do realize that some moments are really meant to be cherished.

My brother is 5 years younger than me, he's a high school student in Jakarta. I remembered how we used to quarrel over trivial things when we were very young. But after time passed by, we started to enjoy every moment that we have to spend our family time together.
I'm surprised how he had grown up to be a man. He could give such a good advice to me whenever I have some little doubts. I didn't really expect that 4 years ago =)
Yea however, sibling would still be my sibling. Though he had grown so much, he's still my younger brother. We would still talk about those silly things that no one could ever understand. We'd laugh about stupid things happened to us or super silly jokes that only us think that it is funny =D

No diet for weekends!

My favorite way to enjoy weekend is to indulge my self in good foods,
please enjoy these tempting dishes from Canele


Au Revoir!

Last Saturday I went to Orchard to have lunch together with my classmates. We have been together in the same class for 3 years.

One of my friends, William, he will be going back for good to Indonesia. And here we are having lunch for the last time before he is departing to Jakarta.

Au Revoir William.
Thank you for your help during our study time. Thank you for those hang outs and jokes and laughs. And I also want to say sorry if I have said or did anything that hurt you.
friends forever, and don't forget, Keep in touch! :)

Holiday Mood



Today is the 11th of December, which means it is exactly two weeks to Christmas. I'm currently enjoying the Christmas decoration anywhere in Singapore. The lovely lights and Christmas trees in Orchard Road, city hall and other city areas.

On the other hand, I also keep on thinking on those beautiful white Christmas in Europe. Hopefully next year I'll have a white Christmas with my hubby =)
Imagine that you'll walk in a thick snow holding hands together with a thick coat. Wouldn't it be a romantic moment?



In the meantime, I'm currently enjoying classic Christmas songs from Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. Although it sounds so old, but those classical Christmas songs surely flies my feeling to those white and warm Christmas in Europe :)

Celebrations!

It's been more than a month since I wrote my last post.
There have been many things happened in my life in this month and most of them are lovely moments. =)
Well, here are some photos which I captured during those lovely moments..



This photo was taken about two weeks ago when I had my final presentation in MDIS. Finally, after my 3 years effort, I managed to finish my courses on time, without any delay. I thank God for that =)

Then after that, we went to celebrate and have lunch together with our classmates.

I'm feeling grateful to have them as my classmates, they are a bunch of lovely girls who are helpful, fun and easy going =) I'll miss you guys - Franciska, Martiny, Fanie, Karen, Viera, Nicole and also Vinni (she's in the picture above)


After celebrating my final presentation with my friends, it's time for me to have dinner with my lovely fiance ;)




We had dinner in Chatterbox Mandarin Orchard, and surely we didn't forget to order their famous chicken rice. Hmm.. Although it is marketed as the most expensive chicken rice in Singapore, I don't think that the taste worth the price though. It tasted very similar to those chicken rice sold in food court. However their serving is quite generous. Anyway, despite the taste and the price, it's my celebration, so I'm still very happy :)





There's always a room for dessert for us, we headed on to Cedele at Wheelock Place to snack.


Cedele's pancake is one of the best pancake in Singapore. I rarely find any pancake that smells so good and taste so yummy. Other than pancake, I'm also a fan of Cedele's carrot cake. Well, who can resist the crunchy walnut and frozen cheese on top of the cake ? :p

November has been one of the busiest month in my study life; I need to finish my final year project, prepare my final year presentation, and I also need to fight for my final exams. It was exhausting, stressing and tiring. But after conquering those fights, I think all the effort was worth it ;)

Well, after having those wonderful moments, shouldn't I be even more grateful for the coming of Christmas? :) Can't wait to experience the warmth and happiness of Christmas with my family in Singapore..

Vergel & Clint 's Bday

Happy Birthday to both Clint & Vergel! They are having their birthday on the same month, so why don't we celebrate it together? :)

It's my first time to visit Modesto's and try their pizza. I'd say the food is really good, it is different with pizzas in other places.

Enjoy these tempting pictures!

I love this appetizer. It is very unique. They are rock melon combined with pork parma ham! uniquely delicious! :)



Here comes the main dishes!
This is calzone pizza. Again, the pizza is really unique! The pizza is wrapped, and it looks like curry puff. I'd say the taste was ok, it was a little bit too cheesy for me. But it is worth the try.



Here comes my favorite pizza! Salmon!
The taste of the salmon was so strong that I can't get enough of this! For those of you who are salmon lovers, you should definitely come to this place and try the salmon pizza :)

Other than those two main dishes, we also ordered black squid ink pasta and chicken sausages pizza. I forgot to take those pictures because I was too busy enjoying my salmon pizza :p


And lastly, Happy birthday to Vergel and Clint :)
