Short getaway!




Sup guys. Just came back from a one week trip to Melaka & Singapore with my course mates. It was a short va-cay before our internship start. Hello working life aka goodbye freedom. Boo.

Anyway, besides all the historic sites like The Red House or the Jonker Street, Melaka is also famous for their foods such as cendol, laksa, nyonya cuisine etc which we had eaten during our short stay there. We had also tried out Veggie Planet, a vegan/vegetarian restaurant at Melaka Raya. The veggie rolls, lei cha (擂茶), fried tempeh, organic soy milk etc are superb! We also went to De Reve Salon/Cafe for the desserts. Chocolate lava cake is yums. I actually feel so hungry right now after looking through the photos.

After a 4-days stay, we then went to Singapore from Melaka by bus. The one-way trip only costs around RM22 (so freaking cheap) and the ticket can be purchased at Melaka Central. We stayed at a backpacker hostel at Little India and we went to a few tourist spots during our stay there; SEA aquarium, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, casinos... You name it. I had also tried out the famous ice cream waffle/bread (like finally) and I finally understood why everyone recommended it to me. It. Tastes. So. Goooooooood. Seriously, you must try it too if you haven't. I recommend having one at Bugis Street. It only costs SGD 1 (cheapest we encountered) and the uncle was so generous on the ice cream.

I have also gotten a few stuff in Singapore - First off, Bioderma Sensible H2O Micelle Solution. I know I know. It's just became available in Malaysia but how can I say no to 600mL of product at only SGD 39.90? Definitely cheaper than buying them here after converting. I have also bought a few Elf brushes, particularly powder brush (SGD 9.90) and eyeshadow brush (SGD 4.90). Trying not to think of how much it would cost if we were at the States (USD 3 only - FYI). The last and the most exciting item I got - Elf Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder in St. Lucia (SGD 9.90) - which is a well known dupe for Nars Orgasm/Laguna duo. It only costs 3 dollars at the States but SGD 9.90 for a duo? Closest I can get so I'm not complaining. Anyway, can't wait to try it out! Review coming soon!
