Celebration.

Every year seems to pass so fast.

Soon I'll be in my mid twenties, then late twenties, then thirties.

Oh god, I don't even want to think about it. 

Birthdays become less huge of a deal as I grow older.

Simple celebrations are enough to make me happy.

:)


Had brunch with Thom at a quiet cafe near Victoria St.
The food was awesome (one of the best cafes I've been to!) but it was a pity that I only ate a little because my appetite wasn't good as I was still recovering from HFMD.
Would definitely love to be back another day!

They had a moderate range of dishes on their menu so we took some time to decide.
Everything sounded so good and we kind of ended up over ordering.
Hahaha.






Most memorable food item we had that day - truffle fries!
I love how they did their truffle fries.
One of the best I've had so far!

I'm on the hunt for the best truffle fries in Singapore.
Hahaha.
Any recommendations?

PS Cafe at Ann Siang also serves some awesome truffle fries!


Scallops were fresh, juicy and succulent.
Simply divine.
;)

Outfit of the day:
Pleated off shoulder top upcoming on TTR,
Dome Maxi Skirt in Lilac from TTR,
bag from Bricks and Bolsas
flats from Steve Madden.

Decided that I wanted a floaty pastel birthday outfit so I randomly put together this combination.
Ended up loving it quite a lot!
I kept another colour of this top too,
it will be launched on TTR in the month of August for those of you who have asked me about it!
:)




Went to Sephora to get my birthday present!
I chose a Clarinsonic Mia 2 because I've heard that it does a really good job at cleansing!
Have been using it since I got it and I'm not sure if its psychological...
But my face feels cleaner than it normally does when I use my hands to wash only.




Thank you baby for always doing whatever you can to make me happy and make me smile.
I can't wait for the rest of our lives together.




My P.Osh brownie cake (I requested for this since last year, hahahah) customized by Thom!
I was literally ROFL when I saw the words.
Hahahahahah.
WTF.









The TTR girls also celebrated for me by sneaking a cake from the back when we were having dinner at TCC just now.
Totally did not expect it since my birthday was last week!
Definitely feeling blessed.
Thank you girls, love you all!!

Another happy moment during my birthday week...
Receiving birthday cakes from Esther who is running an online bakery My Sister Bakes!
It is really sweet of Esther because she had a really busy schedule last week,
but yet she managed to churn out these beautiful cakes and deliver them all the way to my house.






I gasped when I opened the box of cupcakes because other than being pretty...
They are just super thoughtful!!
Check out the minions!
SO SUPER CUTE!
Esther also made a Xiaobai out of fondant.
That's my favourite out of all!










Couldn't wait to taste them so I was eating them as I took the photos.
The vanilla cupcakes come with a surprise red velvet centre!
My personal favourite out of the 2 flavours was definitely the chocolate cupcakes with orange buttercream.
Chocolate and orange is definitely one of my favourite combination of flavours and I think Esther definitely nailed this!
Having major cravings for it right now as I type away.












The red velvet cake with rosette buttercream design was really good as well!
I like how all the cakes are still nice and moist even after they have been fridged.
The red velvet cake had a really intense flavour to it and I love how the cream isn't overly sweet like commercial cakes.

Thank you Esther for the hard work!
Everyone at home loved the cakes and we were well fed on cakes for a few happy days.

If you're keen to order cakes from Esther for happy occasions,

you can contact her at mysisterbakes@gmail.com and quote my name 'Joyce' for 10% off your order (excluding current promotions).

Will be flying off this week again for work but it's all good.

I have a BKK trip with the TTR girls to look forward to!

Hehehe.

Way excited for it!
