顺其自然

永不期待， 

永不假设，

永不强求。

顺其自然，

若是注定发生，必会如你所愿。

忘了何时开始， 这两句看似简单的话一直出现在我脑海里。

我也不断的提醒自己，一切顺其自然。

但‘顺其自然’听久了说久了，我也觉得倦了累了。

那，到底要顺其自然到什么时候？到底何时才能如我所愿？

我，真的不知道。

你，能告诉我吗？

July Miscellaneous

July, few more days left as today is the last Sunday of the month. Time passes fast, as usual. Just feels like want to blog today before July ends.

What had I done lately? 
I went Penang and attended my ex-coach’s wedding luncheon on 7^th July. Departed from my home, Nilai and it was afternoon when we reached hotel. Should have a day trip at Penang and hunt for local foods but we were lack of times. So I just went to a place that I never get bored to although I went there once before, Charlie Brown Café which located at Straits Quay. Ya, I am a Snoopy fans!

The café is still cute and adorable, as it is loaded with my favorite Snoopy statues or toys, comics on the wall. The ambient are definitely great. We just had a relaxing tea time session there while waiting for our friends that coming all the way from Johor. 

Oreo Cheese Cake with Snoopy white chocolate on top!

Latte

Black pepper chicken chop, not bad. 

The happy me!

Snoopy With LOVE ~

Me of the day! 

The next day, wedding luncheon at Hei Yeong Seng, Penang Plaza. Congratulation once again to Mr. Willy Cheah and Ms. Kelly Lee. Opps… should called her, Mrs.Cheah now :) I used to be Mr.Cheah’s student assistant when I was studied in TARC. Here, I would also like to thank for his guidance and teaching all the times. Thanks for invited us to your celebration of life, it meant a lot to us as well. Happy marriage once again! As you start this new journey in life, may everyday hold wonderful shared experiences! Keep in touch also!

Congratulation & Happy Marriage! 

Me of the day. Like my new dress and new heel :)

Nothing special lately after back from Penang. It’s all about working, working and working. July is a spending month for me, totally overspent this month. I still haven't get a new watch for myself as mine fall on the floor and broken. My ring was broken, bracelets also broken. And I fall sick this month. Swollen gums followed by 1 row of ulcers in my mouth and thanks god I am finally recovered from sickness after 2 weeks. No appetite at all throughout the weeks. I only can have noodle soup and porridge that 2 weeks. How suffered as I wanted to eat but can't. Don’t even have mood to go jogging with this kind of condition also. What an unlucky month! 

Tragedy T.T

I have no ideas how it break T.T

I feels uncomfortable and insecure when there is nothing on my hands or fingers. I have neither watch, bracelets, rings on both of my hand now. Feels really weird :/ Must get something to put on my hands or fingers next month. Guess this is just an excuse for me to shop! :D 

What else’s about July? Oh, ya. The minions crazy! 

McDonald's is selling their “Happy Meal" that come with MINIONS from "Despicable Me 2" this month. Guess the whole country is crazy about these yellowish potatoes or banana thingy. The ways they talk or act are silly but cute. I am not a big fans for Minions but just feels like want to display them in my room in order to cheer me up. And yes, I am a blessed girl because I do not need to line up for hours to get the Minions (I do not meant to show off here!). Truly appreciate your times and efforts and I feels really touched! Thank you very much! Can't wait for the reunion of all the Minions *wink* 

Think that's all for this post. Nothing much just an update on myself. Cheers and welcoming the month of August !

[Europe trip] Station 4 : Vienna

Browsed back my photo on FB, found my Europe trip albums, realized that it had been 2 years since I back from the trip! And I still miss the trip so much until today. Decided to write posts of my Europe trip but I stopped writing after the third station (http://pet-sim.blogspot.com/2011/10/europe-trip-station-3-prague.html). Today, I feel like to continue my writings on my Europe trip! Wanted to recall my memories on that and tell myself that the posts for the trip must be completed until the last station. Hope that the memories in my brain still fresh :) 

So, let's continue the journey! The fourth station: Vienna, the capital of Republic of Austria and also one of the romantic cities in the world. We saw many people kissing and cuddling all the way. Definitely can't see this kind of scene here. How romantic! We walked around Vienna city after our first meal there. We saw an ice cream shop and the shop was crowded. The yogurt ice cream looked so delicious. Our 'King' was so kind because he bought his 'queens' ice cream! The ice cream really chilled us up since the weather at Vienna was hot! Thanks so so much!!! I still remember how nice the ice cream was :D By the way, our ‘king’ had got married and has his very first princess this year. Congratulation! 

Our generous 'king' was paid for the ice cream. His face expression showed that how much the ice cream cost XD 

The tired but happy me. By the way, it was me 2 years ago :)

Next, sightseeing time! 

Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum)

The statue outside Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum)

Me and Karyin. Miss her so much :)

Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum) in the night time

We spent a really great night and had a good rest at the inn. I still remember the inn called ‘Do Step Inn’, near the westbahnhof train station. The rooms are comfy and there are really nice common area and shared kitchen. The next day, we spent our day at The Hofburg Palace, St Stephen’s Cathedral, and Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum).

The Hofburg Palace

The Hofburg Palace has a fantastic architecture. This place is enormous! Europe trip did train us in walking. We really walked a lot during the trip!

In Vienna, we can see lots of horse carriage. For many tourists, a ride with the two-horse carriage is one of the highlights. We are tourists, but poor tourists, so we walked! In fact, the ride with horse carriage really expensive! >.<

The street view

The famous mozart chocolate in Vienna

Street performers can be found everywhere on the streets.

St Stephen’s Cathedral

The mini St Stephen’s Cathedral 

St. Stephen's Cathedral is located at Stephansplatz and is the most important Catholic Church in Vienna (Of course, I knew this from web :P). It has a multi-colored tile roof with a diamond pattern and two tall towers which are the most recognizable symbols of the city. The cathedral is beautiful inside and outside, but sadly when we were there the cathedral was in process of external restoration. Anyway, it did impress us! 

WeiWei, ChenPin and Me !

Entrance ticket for Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum) 

Visiting museums is a MUST when you are in Vienna, so do we. Forgot how much the ticket cost, but it was well worth visiting. Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum) is an art museum with lots of masterpieces  Of course, none of us know about ART very well. We just went through all the well displayed masterpieces  However, the surroundings and the interior looked stunning!

The interior looks gorgeous, right?

Some of the master pieces. I really wonder what are the meanings behind all the drawings.

Coins collections can be found in the museum as well.

The next day, we woke up quite early in the morning and headed to the Spanish Riding School for this morning exercise. Not our morning exercise is the horses’ exercise. Should have watch the performance at night but we did not have times for that. We experienced the training of the famous Lipizzan ballet with classical Viennese music (yes, the horses performed ballet dance!) in the Imperial Palace. The horses there can walk gracefully and they looked really elegant. The morning exercise is quite boring because the horses don’t really do much, but not bad at least we did experience something different. By the way, photo shooting and filming are forbidden inside, I snapped photos secretly and here are the photos. 

Morning exercise from Spanish Riding School 

Headed to our next station, Munich after the morning exercise show. Vienna overall is a romantic and beautiful city with its impressive architecture. Hope to visit again if got chance.  

Finished the fourth station, six more stations left. I should really speed up on my writings because memories start to fade as time passes. Getting older, I guess. Haha… So, pictures and writings always the best way to keep all those memorable moments. 

Saw a phrase stated that 'The WORST thing write is better than the BEST thing that you did not write!'. Therefore, Keep on writing, I say to myself :) 


p/s: I have no ideas why my wordings become like this when I published my post :(

Saturday Catch Up with My Girls

Hello, it’s July! I just had a wonderful ending for June. I hadn't seen my girls for so long, it was great to catch up with them on the last weekend of June. We decided to meet and have brunch at Antipodean which located in Bangsar. 4 of us coming from different places, of course we were late that day due to the heavy traffic there. I couldn't find a car park slot outside and therefore I parked my car inside Bangsar village which made me regretted when I paid for the parking fees. The parking fees worth a meal =.=

Finally, I met up with huiping at Antipodean but the long queue outside the cafe shocked me. The waiter there told us that he had no ideas how long we need to wait for our turn. Therefore, both of us decided to change place because we were extremely hungry and the weather was hot. We noticed a bistro named Yeast Boulangerie. Bistro. Baravin, just right beside Antipodean. We decided to give it a try there because it looks cozy although quite packed and we didn't want to walk under the hot sun. Found that it is a bistro that offering French cuisine, attached bakery once we stepped in. 

Their menu and the little yellow flowers on the table ~

The bar

Ordered our drinks and meals and we had no regrets on stepped in Yeast. 

Latte that I ordered. Cute latte art ! I got a bear for my latte.

Cappuccino for HuiPing. I like this, it looks like kon from Bleach!   

YenChing got a lovely bear for her latte ! 

My egg mayo croissant, come with garden salad and fries

YenChing's eggs benedict

SiewLee's meal. Forgot the name of the dish, a kind of sandwiches.

Overall the foods are delicious, price are affordable. I like their croissant so much. The croissant was puffy and soft. There is still variety of breads and pastry which looked nice as well. Worth visiting again. Our chit-chatting non-stop as well as the crowd. We decided to change location in order to continue our girls’ talk comfortably and more privately. Any yet, we found this, Botanical at Bangsar Village II, a really nice place for afternoon tea. The air conditioning did chill us up. I really can't stand with the heat outside as the passionate sun nearly killed me. 

Botanical

Tea for 4 !

They have pretty tea cups to serve the tea. Feels like want to have such pretty tea cups at home so that I can have afternoon tea everyday. Haha...

My earl grey tea. The aroma of the tea was nice. But I still prefer coffee ! :p

Me of the day. Please ignore my messy hair. I feels really annoyed when my hair length like this =.=

Spending times with my girls is always great. We shared about our life, career, love stories, worries, troubles and last but not least, gossips! Advices and encouragements from them are always warm and useful.  I always agree with best friends are for sharing laughter and wiping tears. Honestly, I feel relaxed and relieved after talking with my girls. I hope them feel the same way too. Best friends like us don't need to talk to every single day. We don't even need to talk to each others for weeks, but when we do, it’s like we never stopped talking! :) Guys will never understand this, so don't ask me WHY girls can talk so long and WHAT girls talked about when we meet. We have plenty of topics in our mind! Haha… Miss that times we had our girls’ pillow talk when we were in college times and we stayed together. We should meet up more  *wink* 

4 of us. Besties Forever :)

Saturday, foods, drinks, besties, conversation, shopping. Yeah, I had an amazing Saturday with my girls and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed hanging with my besties, it really made my day! Looking forward to our next meetup! Miss ya ~

p/s: I will have another great weekend this week. Penang visit for this weeknd ^^
