Nov Chap 2: I'm Back + Food & Apparel Review!

Annyeonghaseyo!

Yours truly is back from... 
Korea <3
What an amazing place, 
i took like tons of photos everywhere there!
Still sorting out, 
giving me a headache soon at the rate i'm sorting ;)
But you can expect the photos judging from the sneak peek i used for my new blog cover!!!

Anyway i've been meaning to put up this post before the trip, 
and now i'm back..
Meaning to say..
I'M A SLOWPOKE :3

Before i went on the trip,
i went with my friend ML to redeem our free treat from:
Both of us registered ourselves with them and were entitled to redeem a free treat each :)
I was given a Warm Chocolate Pudding to redeem and ML got the Apple Rhubarb Crumble!
Just nice, 
both of us got a different treat but from the same redemption place at:

And so that day, 
i brought out my new and super loving lace blazer from: 
L'zzie <3
I'll really like to thank them for this lovely item that i was able to choose from winning their like and share contest at their Facebook page!


I remembered i was really torn in between choosing the lace blazer and the lace dresses!!!!!
I'm quite a sucker for lace stuff so you can guess my dilemma at their spoilt choices to choose from ;)

See for yourselves how hard is it! ;)




In the end, 
i got myself the white lace blazer as that's really pretty and  for the most obvious reason though the lace dresses were really super gorgeous too...

I
DON'T
HAVE
A
WHITE
LACE
BLAZER
!

LOL ;)
THIS IS REALLY SUPER GORGEOUS, 
LACE ALL OVER <3 <3 <3!!!!!!

Although i expect it to be as pretty as the photos on site,
i really wasn't expecting the package to be as lovely too!

I can just list the reasons down why I LOVE L'zzie and why you should too ;)
1) Delivered to you via courier company
2) Pretty package box
3) Cute packaging that they lovingly packed your item in
4) Free L'zzie Umbrella!
5) ALL OF THE ABOVE REASONS ^^


Check out my photos below of the super gorgeous Lace Blazer in real life
&
of course the foodie photos of 
Buttercake n Cream's Warm Chocolate Pudding & Apple Rhubarb Crumble!

Here's my #ootd with 
L'zzie's 
Elodie Lace Blazer <3

 And i have here pretty ML with me :)

We are at...

ML trying to capture me with the festive xmas deco!


And first up we have...
WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDINGSSSSSSSS <3

SO EXHILARATED JUST LOOKING AT THIS <3

She's busy checking the photos she took ;)

 Finally she's free to help me take photo, 
my usual practice of food alone plus me and food so i'll remember what and where I've eaten ;)

Got ice cream some more eh!

Look at that chocolate!
Plus syrup coz the chocolate's not been sweeten yet, 
you get to decide how sweet you want ^^!

Before i go on...
I'll like to see if you guys been paying attention coz...
both of us can redeem one desert each and our photos so far show...
2 WARM CHOC PUDDINGS!
instead of what I've mentioned >> Warm Chocolate Pudding & Apple Rhubarb Crumble!

Reason being...
I showed my voucher when i asked if i could redeem!
They checked and told me yes i could, so ML gave hers too to redeem...
Perhaps they didn't checked & assume both of us gets the choc puddings so we ended up with 2!!!!!!!

In short...
You can read my positive review of 
here:


And so we ended up eating 3 deserts...
LOL!




ML with the yum yum Apple Rhubarb Crumble!

You can definitely see my feast of the 3 looming deserts waiting for me ahead!

So cheers then, let's tuck in already!!!

Here's the sneak peek of the dessert page showing the Warm Chocolate Pudding!
DEFINITELY AS TRUE & GOOD AS SHOWN <3 <3 <3



And then........
Perhaps..............
We..................................
Overdosed on the sugar................
Gave me the idea for the following LOL photos!!!!!!!!!!!

Why that face ML haha!

Playing with that empty cup fun continues!


I can't see my eyes lol ;)

That concludes our Buttercake n Cream visit!
ffiony's rating:
5/5 in terms of ambience, service, presentation & taste of the deserts :)
This is a must visit & try kinda place <3

They are located at:



That's all to this blog post!
Last 2 photos while i was still out:


Having fun playing with the mirrors here LOL ;)
And a ROFL thing i did is to try a jump shot in the background while asking ML to take!
But no photos of them posted, 
i decided they're too cui / lame to be up here hahahahs ^^~

So that's really all,
Last but not least..........

Thank You:
1) L'zzie for the great giveaway
2) Where To Eat Singapore for the foc voucher treat
3) Buttercake n Cream for having one of the best desserts I've eaten!

BINTAN 2D 1N!!! <3


Another contest that i've won! *blush*
1st time winning a travel contest though it's only 2D1N lol!

Look at my cui face waiting to board the Ferry at Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal :)
Early in the morning grumpy face lol!


Finally in the ferry waiting for it to leave dock!!!

Ok i know it's not time to wear my sunhat yet but anyway that's the one i brought with me ;)
Wearing my new Aztec top plus i'm carrying a new bag!

Got my sunhat from BKK at SGD2 only!

And my new bag is from Megagamie!
Super <3

It was a short ride of approx 45mins and in no time...
We reached!!!!

There's a bus from the hotel to pick us up to the resort!
And the first thing i did was to change to my more comfy sleep pants to have a little lie on the super comfy bed!

Grab my dad's cowboy style hat!
Howdy ya do ;)

Ok enough of slacking!
I decide to change into another of my new dress that i think it'll be great for this trip :)


I'm super loving the slit back!

And check out that beautiful mother nature scene photo that my dad took!

It's so sunny that i can't open my eyes lol -.-

 Found a cute little shell too on the sandy beach :)


It's so naturally pretty and i actually picked it up wondering if there's a hermit crab living in it!
*There isn't lol*
In the past when i was young i would pick it up to bring home for my shell collection.
But as i grew older i began to understand that such belongs to the nature,
so i left this little shell back onto the beach perhaps waiting for a little hermit crab to live it it ;)

And spotted a most slanted growing coconut tree!

Pic 1: I JUMP!

Pic 2: Yea i look like i reached the tree :P

Pic 3: SO HAPPY LOL!

Pic 4: WHEE!

Also spotted people living out there on the sea yo ;)

Ok
i think im super high to be at the beach already,
 that i got my dad to take another jump shot of:
MY <3 FOR THE VAST OCEAN!!!!!!

And yea,
that's all to your truly jumping madness!
Hot & tired already :D

As we were leaving the beach,
my folks and i spotted this hammock and i went to sit on it tentatively
*cause some staff nearby this little wooden hut bar so i don't know if i can actually lie on it ya know ;)

Super wanted to swing it but scare spoil ppl hammock hahahs


Spotted another wooden hut pavilion!


Don't laugh at me ok,
it gave me the idea for the following pic:

LOL!

Then we walked past a restaurant with these wooden boats outside,
and i just have to do these:

Look how spacious heh!

Welcome? Hmm

As we were heading in, i spotted this little cute fellow!!
HELLO SQUIRREL <3
So cute and agile fellow that try escaping from my dad's cam,
but i guess my dad won ;)

Decide to ask the concierge for places to go,
we were recommend that there's a nearby makan/souvenir/recreation kinda building!

Argh wait, spotted the beautiful koi fishes!!!

They all flock to me thinking i got food,
opps i felt bad for bluffing them unintentionally LOL

Anyways, there's a shuttle bus every half hr which we can take:

But since nobody there, we decide to walk and take the chance to exercise lolol

Love my circle oversized shades find from Chiang Mai <3

Yays resort centre in sight!!!!


But quite disappointing there,
like nobody!
The prices there actually not cheap too, and it's in SG instead of Ruppiah -.-

A sum up of our lunch,
chicken satay
fried rice
beef rendang rice set

food's really so so but the price add up like you eat in SG
NOT CHEAP AT ALL OK -.-

We decide to head back to our Nirwana Gardens :)
Yes we walk back to so we can digest our food -.-

And at the lobby...


My folks and I decide to explore around here instead for tonight's dinner!
Definitely somewhere else than the resort centre for sure ;)

While we found a makan place that we're going later that night,
we saw this chess board with....

Life size chess pieces as well ;)

Ok, made my first move and i think that's my king that i've spotted <3

Play against myself lol hahahas

While going back to our room to rest,
we spotted another restaurant!

Turns out that it's the same as the one with the chess board outside,
now we're at the entrance nearer to our room :)

But that's definitely not the main point because....
HELLO,
WHO DO WE HAVE HERE!!!!!!!!!!




Aww so cute right,
*i'm thinking that thought while watching them through the glass tank area, safely!*
I'll see them later tonight when i come by for dinner,
which is after some slacking in room and snooze time!

And the family's off to dinner :)))))

What mum's having,
grilled chicken on a bed of fried noodles with veggies!

And dad's!
His teriyaki salmon on a bed of greens with rice :)

Warning,
deep salmon indulgence ahead!!!

And me,
a chocolatey dessert with fruits :)

Oozing warm chocolate sauce!

Happy :))))

Should i tuck in now?

I decided to take more food loving photos ;)))
Friends whom know me or read my previous entries  may have guess that i like taking food pics!!

That concludes dinner which's by far more better than the previous makan place,
no doubt slight more ex but it's much more better!

And then...
I have to visit them before going off ;)
Not asleep yet huh

And i tried to take with these two hahahs

Day 2 aka Last day:
Woke up rise and shine!
Was so cozy sleeping in the cooling aircon and snuggling in the comforter,
what i liked about hotel rooms most :)))))

Ready to head off to breakfast after washing up,
and yes here's what i wore:


My Tribal/Aztec look + Floral headband from bkk ;)


Have to check out at 1pm,
 so here's one last look from my window before farewell~~

View from my ferry window taken on my trip back!

I'll say it's a well rest and slack short getaway,
spending quality time with dad & mum dearest :)))))
