It's called "FRIENDSHIP" ♥

Hey Guys!

I've been pretty caught up with work to blog much these days! So, this is gonna be a really short post.
Well, some of you may know and some may not! What's i'm gonna touch on today is on..

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

We've each been busy with our working life these days to really meet up and bitch, gossip or simply yo just have fun like before. Because of such, my life has been awesome with awesome people by my side through the years. Bad, good, happy, sad or whatever feelings there may be.

Don't you ever missed the times where meeting often isn't such a hassle, because we have all the time in the world besides studying. But as we mature into adults, our lives are being taken with many other things as well as different groups of friends. No matter what, no matter how.. the ones closest to you will always remain the same be it near or far, busy or not. There will always be thousand and one things to talk about even if there hasn't been time to meet up for months! A simple "i miss you" sometimes just makes your day doesn't it? These words are words you love hearing from the people closest to you, knowing they still remember you.

Well, one of my closest buddy is residing in Aussie (of course she isn't forgotten!!), while another's here. As we grow older, i hope this friendship of ours will remain forever till the day we're old and toothless.

Till then..


This post is dedicated to my buddy, ZERIA GAN, because it's her BIRTHDAY today!!
A simple friendship video, i hope it would make her stressful days happier! *winks*

♥♥♥♥♥♥

To Miss Gan,

HAPPY SWEET LOVELY BIRTHDAY!!

Hope you've had an awesome one!

Till we meet again,

you are missed!!

xoxo. ♥

LollyTalk: Singapore's Handmade Rock Candy

Fan of Candies?

Love sweets?

Got a sweet tooth?

I'm a Candy lover, are you too?

You must be wondering, why LollyTalk aren't you?

Let's find out more about them together, shall we?

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 LOLLYTALK 

The next upcoming BIG hit in Singapore

We are a homegrown candy maker from Singapore that makes our own rock candies fresh from scratch as all our candies are handmade. We make a variety of flavours including Queensland’s renowned banana and watermelon, as well as sarsi and root beer. At LollyTalk, we are committed to making the best tasting quality candies and hence we are constantly on the lookout for new flavours to improve the taste of our candies. In addition, our candies can be customised for special occasions such as weddings and birthdays. 

Perhaps unknown to many, handmade rock candies originated from Australia and the birth of LollyTalk in 2010 pays tribute to that. That year we headed Down Under to learn the art of candy-making from the Aussies themselves. We secured an apprenticeship with Ross and Judy, who were the undisputed leaders in candy-making in Queensland. The couple won the title Grand Champion Rock Candy as well as multiple awards at the 2009 Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards, Australia’s premium fine food event that is held annually to give recognition to outstanding producers in the Australian fine food industry, including all its major candy and dessert makers. Being the Grand Champion of rock candy, Ross and Judy were awarded the gold medal for their fruit rock mix, silver medal for lollypops and bronze medal for design candy.

Under our masters’ guidance, we picked up the finer points in making authentic Aussie rock candies that taste and look good. More importantly, we learnt to have fun and enjoy the whole process of candy-making. And it was this unique candy-making skill and experience that we brought back to set up shop in Singapore, which differentiates LollyTalk from other mainstream candy makers in the market.

As part of LollyTalk’s Korean- inspired packaging, we created a fantasy island, Candy Island, where our two mascots Rocky and Candy live and make candies. Designed by a renowned Art Director.

LollyTalk also believes in giving back to the community, and thus has been involved in a number of social work with organisations such as the Yellow Ribbon Project in Singapore (where we worked with girls from Raffles Girls’ Secondary), and orphanages in Thailand and Myanmar. 

While our shop in Plaza Singapura is new, we have in fact been working with different personalities – including designers, artists and musicians – in the creative industry for a while now. LollyTalk has sponsored candies at various events in 2012, including the official opening of the local label WSDM at Millenia Walk, local designer rêvasseur’s launch of the National Day fashion piece, as well as the Singapore International Salsa Festival. LollyTalk has also supplied local Intune Music School with candies for its school projects, while we collaborated with Singapore singer-songwriter, Bevlyn Khoo, in an MTV for her upcoming album to be launched soon. 

WOW.

After finding out a little more about LollyTalk, impressive isn't it?

Being impressive, wouldn't you be curious to give it a try yourself?

Read on and find out what I think about LollyTalk! >.-

♥♥♥♥♥

LollyTalk was officially opened/launched on the 4th of January 2013, which was also the day I left for my 3D2N cruise with the family. Boohoo. But it's alright! Since I happened to be around Plaza Singapura last evening for dinner, I decided to pop by and take a little peek into the newly opened LollyTalk outlet.

The founder and staffs of LollyTalk are really friendly! So, don't have to be afraid! BIG smile and take your first step into LollyTalk to see what they have to offer! It's like taking a step into little candy island for a short adventure! How cool is that?

there's a flat screen television that shows you how these rock candies are being made.

dad and i got engrossed watching it.

REALLY interesting!!

Happy 21st Sidekick @ Paul's Bakery

And so, it was a crazy friday night indeed. Rushed home from work to change before heading down to my darling sidekick's 21st birthday dinner at Paul's Bakery. We had a theme/dress code for the night which was "CUTE & PRETTY". On second thoughts, my outfit's pretty out of place? Haha! Anyway, sidekick has FINALLY turned the big 2-1!!

21 is an age whereby everyone would more or less say.. "once you reach 21, your age flies by really fast." I use to chuckle and laugh thinking it isn't true, but now I have to admit. Time sure passes really fast after hitting 21! @.@

Back to topic.. The service at Paul's wasn't as expected BUT the food was pretty good and so is the price! One glass of coke costs $4.90, and a glass of Ice Lemon Tea costs $7.90! As for the food pricing, it's pretty reasonable.

 i had this (forgot what it's called), which sidekick's bf called it "baby food".

it's cod fish with mash potatoes & bread crumps (lovely!!)

.our big happy family.

okie, i'm in a really awakard pose >.<

Darling sidekick was so touched, she teared at the sight of her birthday cake! (so cute!) and now we know, cakes can make her tear. haha! Love this girl, she can be feisty, angsty yet randomly cute and sweet all together! I'll definitely miss having both sidekicks around like how it use to be when we were still having classes together. Now, that we've graduated and started on our career. We'll need to find time to catch up once in awhile ;)

Love Note:

"Hey sidekick, hope you've had an enjoyable & memorable 21st (I'm sure you did!!)!! And, hopefully you'll like your present too! Loves!"

-xoxo

And so, we ended a touching and lovely night with the birthday cake! As for round 2.. well, we each had our own activities going on.. and so that came to a closure for sidekick's 21st.

By the way, we had to have the cake else where because it's their policy of "NO OUTSIDE FOOD ALLOWED". But then, they were kind enough to allow the birthday girl to have her birthday song sang and candles blowed! (:

HAPPY BLESSED BIRTHDAY DADDY LOVE!! ♥

Before I start on my post for the day! Here're the results from my previous post! =D

Woke up this morning, got my face washed and wala! my pimples were reduced a little compared to the day before! The only thing is, the breakout area is red. Thus, I'm going to be testing out the ice method and hopefully it'll reduce the redness before applying on toothpaste! And in no time, flawless skin! Hooray!! (:

Conclusion is: It does work! Give it a try ;)

NOW.
