Restaurant | Shinji by Kanesaka

My first ever Omakase !!

Omakase (in Japanese restaurant) basically is a meal consisting of dishes selected by chef.

Basically Shinji by Kanesaka hold 2 Michelin stars

I am lucky enough to get to go to Raffles Hotel for Omakase

The set we ordered was Tsuki 月 (12 pieces)

I not sure I have all the sushi in here or not but I counted here got 13 pieces I think should be all 

I not really sure what I had already (so sad)

But I remember we have salmon belly, salmon, uni, be(prawn), sardine etc

The chef did the sushi one by one for us, I love the sushi rice here because the rice is warm !!

I never had sushi rice which is warm before

The chef is very 細心 also, because the ebi (prawn) is too big for me one mouth habis

so he will cut the sushi into two for me !!!

So sweet !!!!

The nearest to us is our chef of the day

His name is Keisuka Fukasawa 深澤 惠介

After we finished our meal, he will pass us his name card

So if we like his service, next time we can come by chef

If not particular about chef, I think they will random get a chef to serve the customer

I loved about their cake as well !!

Wish to get bigger piece or more for the cake !! Haha....

Lesson learn : the chopstick suppose to put in front of us horizontally, not at the side vertically

Hopefully next time I have chance to try other omakase and I want to blog more details and video more !!!

thanks for reading

Quotes | 10 Quotes by Jim Rohn

• "To attract attractive people, you must be attractive. To attract powerful people, you must be powerful. To attract committed people, you must be committed. Instead of going to work on them, you go to work on yourself. If you become, you can attract."
• "We can have more than we’ve got because we can become more than we are."
• "The big challenge is to become all that you have the possibility of becoming. You cannot believe what it does to the human spirit to maximize your human potential and stretch yourself to the limit."
• "Pity the man who inherits a million dollars and who isn’t a millionaire. Here’s what would be pitiful: If your income grew and you didn’t."
• The most important question to ask on the job is not “What am I getting?” The most important question to ask on the job is “What am I becoming?’”
• "It is hard to keep that which has not been obtained through personal development."
• "After you become a millionaire, you can give all of your money away because what’s important is not the million dollars; what’s important is the person you have become in the process of becoming a millionaire."
• "Income seldom exceeds personal development."

Half Marathon | Osim Sundown Marathon 2015

Princess First Half Marathon gave to Osim Sundown Marathon 2015.

The event started 04 July however Half Marathon and Full Marathon start midnight(basically it count 05 July)

The event held at F1 Pit Building. I arrived there around 10+ pm. Not that crowded, probably 5km and 10 km already finish or happening.

When I arrived, I saw the very pretty eye on singapore.

Haha.... have to take the before run with the wheel ^^

There were a lot of booth, so we just checked out one by one and I found ...

Tattoo spray and face painting booth. 

Of course I had to  get my face paint !!! 

It will so cool right ~

Tada.... actually she paint a red line in the middle of the face which is the nose area, but I found is a bit ugly + scary, so I wipe it off already !!

Now more cute hah ~~

There is a photo booth where you can take picture with their tools as well

You can have 3 pose because they printed for you in 3 photos

So if you pose once, your 3 pictures will be all same

But you can give to your friends for memory lah..haha...

Very obvious here who is the runner and who is not loh !!

To be honest, run in Singapore is really fun even I got blister on my foot.

Lesson learnt, don't run without socks !!!! It hurt so so bad ><

The scenery is very breath taking and some more we got the chance to run beside the beach

Hence, it was really very breezy ^^

A lot of people just chill, chit chat, paktoh, hold hand but not running loh.

I run and run and run until I cannot tahan my blister on my foot, I saw an ambulance.

So, went and ask for plaster or whatever can let me cover my blister so the shoes won't keep gosok my foot, but the guy told me plaster doesn't help cause it will fall.

I knew cause I had one but it dropped.

Then I asked him wrap a bit for me so it has something to protect, but the guy said after wrapped is very hard for me to run.

So I sit there bargain and discussed whether should wrap or should not wrap.

When I realise, time flies and there were few people waiting him to balut or put medicine I guess.

Siao liao~~

Then I continue run with a bit wrapping by myself (proud)

But half way the bandage keep dropping

and suddenly, I felt so so sleepy !!!

This is the most scary part.

Can you imagine when you feel sleepy and still have 10 km to run back !!!

One no good thing about running in the middle of the night

I had to conquer my sleepyness

So keep running.... 

Just keep running, walking, running....

After a decade later......

I finally arrive the finishing line la !!!!

Got my precious medal..

Hold tight tight and kiss..muacks muacks muacks...

Use my blister, my injured, my sleepyness, my tiredness to exchange this back

But, is so worth it !!!

Of course I had to take picture with my bao bei medal lah !!!

Same place, same pose !

Now can go back and sleep.

No more MRT, took cab home.

Finished showered and get ready to sleep was already 5 am !!!

Good morning ... Zzzzzzzz

Restaurant | Favola @ Le Meridien

Favola located at Level 8 of Le Meridien Hotel. 

Favola means fable in Italian, it is Venetian, Italy cuisine. For more details and menu, you may check out their website. 

As usual, Italian restaurant will serve you with bread. However, I did not suggest eat too much leh. 

Cause once you eat too much of the bread then you will start feelling full, then how to enjoy the dinner later ? But their bread stick and the bun(right front) is super nice !!!!

Conchiglioni Marinara al Cartoccio, if you want other than conchiglioni, you have to mention to the waiter what kind of noodle you want. 

This is the pasta baked in a parcel with seafood in tangy tomato sauce, extra virgin olive oil, fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese.

But I find conchiglioni also quite cute to eat ^^

Grilled salmon trout, pink peppercorn and pistachio crust with tapenade cream sauce. It comes with polenta cake and tomato fondue or truffle mashed potato.

The salmon looks small but it is quite filling after you eat them. 

Thats why, good protein always give you more filling hah !!!!

Nice environment, nice food just been seated near entrance so I feel a bit weird.

But I always a happy go lucky person, so as long as the food is nice, I can bear with the seat hah !!

Midori Traveler Notebook | Blue Edition

Finally is here !!!!!

My blue edition Midori Traveler Notebook 

I have been using Midori Traveler Notebook for awhile

Loving the size and the free spirit inserts of this journal

They don't normally come out other colours than brown and black

However, they do come out occasionally (rare) in different colour.

I checked online they did came out a light brown colour which was super nice

and this time is Blue Edition.

The real Blue Edition is as in picture, is a bit darker. Towards navy blue, but in real it is really really very pretty colour. 

From the midori website,

TRAVELER’S notebook will offer a Blue Edition, a limted color available only in 2015.
Our inspiration came from the indigo sky right before dawn, welcoming the first beam of sunlight. 
We chose a deep, dark blue, similar to that of blue-black ink, or indigo dye, not a bright and brilliant blue. 

Blue --- Picasso’s self-portrait from his “blue years”, carried a feeling of heavy anxiety and a firm determination. 
Blue --- the earth photographed from outer space, and a shot of deep marine blue taken by a deep sea diver --- has grandeur, beauty and calmness. 
Yves Klein, a French artist, invented his ideal color, a deep blue named “International Klein Blue.” Following that, he used no other color. He described blue as a deeply spiritual color that invites us into the infinity of the universe. 
Variations of blue evoke a diversity of images - youthful freshness, immaturity that accompanies it, melancholy and solitude, serenity, refinedness, eternity, and much more - depending on their degree of brightness and hue.
TRAVELER’S notebook Blue Edition comes clad in leather of a deep blue, which makes us think of new travels.

In addition to this Blue Edition, we will release new items created by collaboration between TRAVELER’S notebook and Pan Am, which once was the national flag carrier of the USA. The airliner used to have blue as its corporate color. These items will be nice when you customize your Blue Edition. 

* These are of limited availability. In case they are sold out or out of stock, we would appreciate your understanding.

The Blue Edition only come with Regular size. So, if you a midori super fans, remember to grab it before it run out of stock worldwide.

Updated Midori Traveler Notebook blogpost will be up soon. Stay tune ^^

Haul | Bath and Body + Sephora

Passed by Bath and Body Works Nu Sentral when I stayed at Le Meridien(just opposite Nu Sentral) from 21st June to 25th June (Sunday to Thursday)

I saw sales, 50% off etc

So stepped in to check out and stepped out with......

Not only Bath and Body Works but also Sephora

Even though the things I bought from Sephora do not have sales but I need the products

Candle was 70% off I believe

But I did not just grab everything or anything in my eyes

I still need to smell one by one and make sure I like the scent only I get them

Total 5 candles I got :

Brazilian Blue Waters, Mango Dragon Fruits, Amazon Falls, 

Marshmallow Fireside, Tiki Beach

I still have my all time favourite Sweet Peas haven't finish so I haven't light them yet

These 4 body products are buy 3 free 1

I choose 3 body lotion and 1 shower gel

Body lotions: Sweet Pea, Endless Weekend and Love and Sunshine

Shower Gel : Sweet Pea (I really love sweet pea scent)

These 2 were 50% off from original price

The buy 3 free 1 has more choice of new arrival

Whereby the 50% off less choices cause maybe is old stock

I bought 2 body lotions: Country Chic and A Thousand Wishes

I quite like their lotion because it does not give me sticky feels

somemore all smells so so good

I can use different flavours according to my mood as well

and the bottle is not super big(although this is consider big bottle) so is quite easy to travel with 

But they do have travel size which is smaller as well

In sephora I bought 2 things

Laneige Water Sleeping mask and Clarsonic Cashmere Brush

I got a sample of Laneige water sleeping mask and I found is quite nice to use

So I decided to get a full size mask

Sephora having promotion where you buy a full size they free you another small one

So, why not ?!

Love my cashmere brush head for Clarsonic compare to normal brush head

I normally change the brush head every 3 months

But one downside is after putting this cashmere head brush I cant fit the clarsonic into the case already because the cashmere brush head is slightly longer than normal brush head.

But is not a big deal for me cause I still can travel with my clarsonic without putting it into the case
