BΔSTILLE @ KL Live 2015

So last night, this happened. 

B Δ S T I L L E

Mad happy that I bought my tickets when I did because they were sold out pretty fast. I think I bought mine 5 days after they were released and already it was in the 3rd phase which would explain the higher pricing of tickets. Also I have been waiting for MONTHS for last night to come!!!!

Was it worth it? 

Yes. 

I say this because I have been listening to their entire album for a while now and I am pretty much obsessed with all of their songs. (Ask Swan, it's constantly playing in my car hehe) Not only are their songs catchy as all hell, their lyrics are pretty damn good. If I have to be completely honest, it's their songs that helped me to get through the break-up last year in one piece.  

They are the kind of band that you feel sad once the concert is over because you get into your car, and their album is playing and suddenly it's just meh cause you've heard them live and even though they are good on the album, they're EVEN better live. 

Like fo'realz, I kept going "OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD!?!?!" to both Swan and Rosanne who pretty much agreed with me. Hehe 

If you're new to Bastille, here are my top 3 songs that I'd recommend you to listen to (and actually listen to the lyrics PLS)

1) These Streets

2) Weight of Living, Pt. II

3) Laughter Lines

  

Naturally, the list didn't include their more popular songs like Pompeii and Things We Lost In The Fire, the latter being my #1 choice from Bastille and erhmergerd how did they even come up with those lyrics. PERFECT.

 

Here's some shots I managed to take last night. 

 

Mad happy I got to catch my first concert (and I'm pretty sure the best) of 2015 with you!

Hope everyone has had a good first week of 2015. Mine has been pretty damn awesome filled with SO much good food and basically, things are hitting off well. So #thankful.

First makeup post of 2015 will be up soon! 

lots of love,

HKG July 2014

Got home at midnight from a delayed AirAsia flight but nevertheless I am still so thankful I got to make it to Hong Kong over the long Hari Raya weekend (Friday to Tuesday). The trip was short and sweet, and definitely definitely appreciated at this time of the year. 

Here are some visuals from my trip.We did quite a bit in 5D/4N. Spent a whole day in TST shopping as well, so that was great. Been meaning to check out Innisfree and Stylenanda/3CE so I am happy I got to do that. Also managed to find Banilla and co in Sasa so woohoo :) 

Spend Sunday having a really nice dimsum brunch and a BBQ party the rest of the day and then Monday came along and we spent it at Disneyland. My first ever Disneyland! So glad I got to go with Yat Jun. :) Well, he brought me to my first, I hope I go to many others with him too hehe. 

Then Tuesday came, and my heart got heavy and we said our goodbyes. Hopefully will be seeing him soon though! #LDRwoes

Baby got us matching mozzie bands which was really cute cause they said "Hey, don't bite me please." haha

So happy to see Mickey and Minnie

Can you spot my handsome man?

Last meal in HKG

I love this face so much.

My favourite meal of the trip.

And to everyone else, Selamat Hari Raya and I hope you've enjoyed some of these visuals :) 

I'll be back soon to blog about some friends I received last week :D hehe 

Lots and lots of love,

Sunday Brunch - Breadfruits Cafe, Desa Sri Hartamas

What is the weekend without a hearty brunch filled with good food and good company? Brunches are my absolute favourite meal of the week. How can it not? It's Breakfast + Lunch which means you can over-order and over-eat and ain't nobody's gonna judge cause you've not eaten either meals! HEHE 

One thing that I love about KL, is the vast variety of new cafes to try every weekend! I mean, there's always something new to try (well, everything's nearly new to me anyway. I say nearly cause I've lived here for 6 months, coming 7 so really, I'm getting better... haha)

Last Sunday, Swan and I decided to check out BreadFruits! Since I was in the 1Utama Area and she was coming from Bukit Jalil, she thought it would be great to sort of meet in the middle.. which we did! 

First thing to note was there was a waiting list. BreadFruits is not a very big cafe, actually, to be completely honest, it is a little tiny. Thankfully Swan reached before I did and so she popped her name down first (SOO.. haha!) and we still had to wait for about 20 minutes (could be more, could be less) outside.

We also sat outside, which we didn't mind cause there were ceiling (?!) fans above us, which meant it wasn't a sweat-fest. Hehe The inside of the cafe looked a little crowded, IMO and I also overheard one of the waiters telling some girls that if they wanted to sit inside, they'll have to share tables, which I guess for some would be okay, but personally, I like a little more privacy IE having our own table.

Menu wise, I would say there is a lot of choices. Brunch, Salads, Sandwiches, Pasta.. it took me a while to sort of decide what I wanted to eat as well! :) 

Here's how our table looked like once all the food was served.

Here's Swan with her Gourmet Antipasto Breakfast Platter, which I thought was a real deal. She paid about RM26++ if I am not mistaken, and it comes with a small juice of the day as well as coffee or tea!

Her platter came with some delicious looking salad, 7 minute eggs, bread, two types of cheeses, chorizo, salami and ham! Man, I think I might order this too if I ever go again. Except maybe I'll ask if I can get some fried or scrambled eggs instead cause I can't do gooey eggs like this. 

I was feeling extra carby yesterday so I opted for pasta (I LOVE PASTA- WHOS WITH ME WOOHOO). Pan fried Salmon linguine pasta with rocket, capers and onions (RM19++). I also had a detox juice as well (RM10). They have an extensive list of juices, so juice lovers won't be disappointed!

I enjoyed my pasta very much. I liked that there were a lot of greens in it, as well as a truckful of capers! The salmon was cooked lovely as well, well seasoned and with a crispy exterior. If I had to pick on anything, it was just a little tooooo oily for my liking, but still a good pasta dish nevertheless.

It was a delighful meal and I wouldn't mind going back sometime again to maybe try their French Toasts, or one of their sandwiches (I am seriously looking for a good sandwich here in KL, the ones I've tried has failed me so badly. I miss a good british sandwich!)

If you're looking to try somewhere new this weekend, here's a suggestion:
