As the liquid flow, the mood mellows. Women seem shallow, a few turn dirty fellows.

Not written by me...
but felt it was worth sharing.. :)



"J" revealed the real reason behind the breakup with her seemingly perfect boyfriend. He was not the typical Don Juan good looker but had no problem attracting women with his boyish charms and bad-boy demeanour. The buxomly girl was not lacking in the looks department and they made an extremely cute couple.

At Paris, the group of friends decided to joined the rest for drinks in one of their rooms. Several rounds of bourbon coke and vodka limes later, some were in seventh heaven. Some stumbled their way back to their own rooms to puke or crash in private. Soon, only the couple and the hostess remained. Being the occasional drinker, "J" fell victim to the alcohol racing through her bloodstream and slumped on a corner of the carpeted room.

When she came to, the rhythmic creaking of bed coils stopped in its tracks. The occupant of that bed did not include her. Shell shocked, the girl emptied her guts right onto the shocked bastard of a boyfriend and stormed out of the room.

No words were exchanged thereafter. No action was taken by her either. I guess in her case, it is the unsaid that speaks louder.

Are we alone? ( part one )

Not a superstitious nor paranoid person over issues like this to begin with.

I'm either going to f#*k your mind, or this can act as a friendly "reminder" haha

It's not gonna be a full story... just bits and pieces from the things I've read .

So, here it goes....
............................................
............................................................



1) The room is at the very end of a row. Each room features two backdoors, one leading to the spartan bathroom and another identical door that opens up to a stark-walled backyard with no lighting. After one too many openings of the wrong door and only to be facing creepy blanket of pitch darkness, I would mark it to prevent another inadvertent scare.

It is well known to be favoured by a "resident" who often treats the unsuspecting occupant to a recital of the alphabet past midnight. The sweet child-like voice on the other end of the telephone line would go " Hello, would you like to hear my ABCs? " Even as the half asleep victim grapples with the seemingly innocent offer from a little girl, the recital would begin.

" A,B,C,D........H,I,J,K........." the high cutesy pitch of the voice slides to a disturbing inhumanly low almost animal-like growl.





2) A girl refused to fly to London after the last one gave her such an distasteful experience. With the lights off, she was about to doze off when the television screen came alive on its own accord. The tired girl struggled to locate the stray remote on the bed which she assumed was accidentally pressed on. After a few minutes of futile skimming, she reluctantly turned on the table lights, only to see the remote sitting aloof on the table.

Puzzled, she attributed it to an electrical problem, switched off the television and returned to catch up where she left off. Moments later, the screen buzzed to life again. Irritated, she decided to switch the mains off once and for all. Thus the third occurrence had her jumping out of the bed and room in her night gown. Perhaps there was a logical explanation, but it sure left a bad taste.


3) I've never practice this procedure whenever I stay in a hotel room/whenever I travel. 

Do you.....
  • make a point to inform the "occupants" by knocking three times on the door before entering the room with a polite " Excuse me", just so that he/she/they know that you are in transit?
  • followed on doing a quick check of cupboards, toilet and under the bed for human trespassers and who knows what else you may find?
  • toss your bag onto the unused twin bed ( if you're traveling alone) ? It is said that the messier the bed, the less likely we would have uninvited "roommates" .



Now,
Who wants to hear my ABCs?

*Part two coming right up * ;)

We were all spread out between orchard mrt and somerset mrt! 
Did you manage to spot us? :)


Nevertheless, these 2 days has gone by so quickly...
It was pretty tiring ....
Work started from 12-7pm... 
We had to report early before work too...

Under the blazing sun the whole afternoon and try standing on those high heels for 14 hours !
My legs were crying out loud after day 1! :(
And after day 2, I don't wanna walk anymore I want to be carried LOL
*kidding* but I really didn't wanna move ! :/
Not to mention, we were tugging the heavy Gatsby bags behind us ...
Giving out the samples nonstop.. trying to finish giving as fast as possible...
Also thanks to the humid weather in Singapore, our skin got so sticky! 
Try the Gatsby Body Ice Paper if you haven! I personally loveeeee it! 
I loveeeeeee the after soooooo cooling sensation it left on my skin! :)

Beat! But oh well, I'll still love to have another chance to work with Gatsby again! :)

After day 2, baby came to meet me and surprised me with dinner at Marche!

And I wasn't hungry at 7pm , too tired to be hungry I guess... haha

And baby was nice to bring food to the table while I just sat there and wait! :)

But really, thanks ! I appreciate that! Thanks for deciding dinner for me ! X
♥O♥






 Forgive me, but I won't be doing a review on this as it was pretty impromptu!

Anyway, if you're going Marche.. don't order anything which looked like my last picture??! Lol!

♥ ♥ ♥ ANTOINETTE @ PALAIS RENAISSANCE ! ♥ ♥ ♥

Antoinette at Palais Renaissance is unique as it's indoors , yet, it has a garden theme...
I guess the ambience will be a tad better if some sunlight is allow in..
The place was slightly dim.. Quite a nice place to chill I would say.
Enjoyed my time there . :)

The food is awesome too! likeeeee LEGIT AWESOME! 
Because the ones that we tried has a very unique and distinct taste!
We didn't order a lot that day... we just wanted to chill somewhere at town!


 Dear Jacelyn!
Yours Truly! 


This room interior is SUPERRRRR GORGEOUS!!! *SCREAMS*
They usually only open it when the outside (garden) is full! 
I really hope the next time I'm there , there won't be any seats outside! hehe!
And it's open for functions like birthdays/celebrations/party/etc ! :)

Cute boxes, cookies and other goodies which you can purchase before you leave. :)


 My favourite photo in this post! :D

I forgot what we ordered! lol! If I'm not wrong..
we ordered Concorde Crepes Salees! 
(You can find this in the menu I posted above)
Mad love... ! I love that special sauce/dressing that goes super well with it.
You've got to try it yourself cos I can't describe the taste really.

Don't the Macarons looked HAPPY? :D
Think they'll be happier if I eat them! hehehe! lol

The cake is good! If you're a fan of dark chocolate you'll love this! :D
Even if you're not a big fan of dark chocolate like me...
You can give it a try too! It ain't too bitter and it's sweet! :)
Macarons on the right one is chocolate(brown) and pistachio(green)..
Both is good! Surprisingly,  the Pistachio one tasted better to me than the Chocolate one! 
MUST TRY!
Ratings : 4.1/5 (Cake) , 4.25/5 (Macarons)
Jac and I complained to a waiter that the table was toooo small! 
So smalllll, we both dropped our fork once each! lol
The waiter shared the same sentiments ... but he explained that
Antoinette's a french restaurant... and french people 
love eating in an "enclosed" manner like this.
Okay! Happy with the reply !Accepted ! :)
