没有妈妈的日子:第357天

Hipster and be fun of it!

In love with these so-called hipster cafes around Klang Valley. Frankly I had been to a few and eager to discover more!

Ever since, I don't go to those mainstream coffee (well, you can guess which I am addressing).

Here are two that I really love.

1. Whisk Outpost, One Utama Shopping Centre.

Discovered this place couple of years ago. Guess this was the earliest start for the hipster cafe trend.



Inside the shop. Added the filter effect from Vintique and VSCO to make them hipster-like.




Coffee and sweet delicacies. The Cold Brew Coffee is the 'bomb'! Recommend it for coffee lovers. And yes, plenty of macarons there too. Cakes are not refrigerated, which is the first time I seen it.


Hipster-like design. A great place to chill and relax for the weekends. 



2. Garage 51, PJS 11/9, Bandar Sunway.
Read blog reviews and searched pictures from this place in Instagram before finally to try out yesterday night. 
Here is my thought: Pleasant setting, situated in a less pleasant environment. The food and drinks are awesome!


  
Was crowded when I reached at around 8 p.m. 



Piccolo Latte. Real coffee for real lovers. 

I had realised I became caffeine-immuned these days. I can take strong coffees and few hours later, sleep like a baby. Ironic?


I don't know what was this exactly. A combination between bread and meat, I think. But it's delicious and filling! 



Awesomely good fries! Best I tasted so far.



Read about this drink on different blogs. It is Coffee Société's signature drink, which has coffee, milk and Nutella in it. Sound promising? I should try it for my next visit then!



That's it for now.
I'll post food and places' pictures on my Instagram account, whenever I go food hunt.



Let the pictures speak.




Writer's note: I am currently in my holidays now. Six to seven months to go before graduation ceremony. 

Writer's note 2: I need to find a job in the writing or journalism field. Or else, what I had learned throughout my degree will be in the waste bin.

没有妈妈的日子:第349天

Words of encouragement...

Never underestimated these words.

I heard negative feedbacks thrown to me. In fact, when I recalled, the negative feedbacks are more than positive ones. Yes, could it be more ironic?

I concluded that most people around formed a certain degree of dislike towards me (Er... OK). I admit, I am not the good person that pleases people (others formed liking towards someone when he or she does or speaks things that are set by our norms as 'good', which is subjective by the way).
I am against the norms' pattern. Thus, individuals who live according to the norms find me unusual, leading hostility towards me.


If that so... (as I write) would my life would be miserable? Plenty of negativities around me.


No. Not at all. 


Despite what others see if in an unfavourable way, I continued to be what I am. There is (and never be) a reason to please others, doing and speaking about things they like. What is the significance?
You'll lose what you are, yourself.

I ignored negative feedbacks. Be "whatever... it's up to you to hate me, and it's up to me to throw you off my life!"
Freedom of speech. Yes. And choice.


Couple of days ago while chatting online with my friend in UK, I opened up regarding the topic I got hatred. I assumed to the fact that I will NEVER find a Chinese guy as they (in my assumptions) does not fancy someone provoking as me.
My friend was stunned. And told me those guys are missing out a nice girl, an open minded one.

I was touched.
After all these negative remarks on me, finally I see a hope and light, a friend who sees a person as they are, themselves.

Throughout the conversation, it shed a light on who should I find for the significant one (Yeah, truly gave up on Chinese guys).


The quote sums up everything. Be persistent.


I think I know where to go finding (actually)...





Writer's note: In the future, I will write topics that are meaningful and optimistic. There should be no reasons to dwell in the useless and depressing things in life.
