Happy New Year!

I had the intent to pen an entry for NYE, but considering that it's 2 minutes to 12am as I begin to write this, I suppose I have no choice but to make this a New Year post instead. Oh look, another minute gone by. In all seriousness though, where does the time go ? Finally, the new year has rolled around yet again. Another year come and gone in the blink of an eye. Being my usual semi-pessimistic self, I am undoubtedly indifferent to it. While the majority of Australian residents are out and about in the crowded CBD area, counting down to the new year, witnessing brightly-coloured firework displays marking the start of new year, I'm here at home being a hermit (as I do on most days). Here I am, casually sitting in the middle of the road. The above photo illustrates how I spent NYE . Local police decided that George Street (the main road) was to be closed off in light of the impending NYD celebrations. Reasons for doing so are unknown, but the brother reckons it

Make My Magnum, by Magnum Cafe

Today's been one of the several times I've been so happy to be in KL. I heard about the recently-opened Magnum Cafe on social media, and my first thought was, "Meh"...until I saw Make My Magnum . Not being able to resist the idea of fully customisable ice-cream, I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a trip there!

It'll be impossible to get a parking space by noon, hence why we left so early - Mommy calls the mall "Mad Valley" for this very reason. The tentative plan for the day was to have some lunch and do a little shopping before going for Magnum ice-cream, so that's roughly how the day panned out. Picture above was taken only after we left, but there wasn't much of a queue when we first arrived. There were probably 3-4 people ahead of us, and that was about it. When it was our turn, we lo

The 5th of December, 2014 marks the fifteenth day since I arrived back home after a year-long absence. Most Malaysian foodies who've been overseas for a lengthy period of time will understand the excitement about returning home, because FOOD. Need I say more? As one of the aforementioned overseas Malaysian foodies, being home meant several food trips to make up for the local fare I've missed out on. These food trips are with the family, and often take place mainly in JB and KL (and sometimes Malacca). Out of so many food adventures I've been on for the last two weeks so far though, I decided to blog about this one because I went to eat at one of my childhood favourites - none other than IT Roo Cafe! It's been at least 2 years since I went there to eat, so naturally I was eager to go back there after a really long time. My parents really spoil me, driving into town on a Friday evening for dinner at one of the more popular restaurants. Th
