Olo ~ i'm back , didcha miss me ?
this has got to be my longest hiatus yet , hope that you guys still visit this space at times :)

work has been piled up sky high for me so i've been spending time with work mostly .
fell sick thereafter and spent my off day and weekends recuperating .

by recuperating i mean mostly lazing at home reading lots of manga like an otaku and getting insane amounts of sleep . works wonders for me ! i feel at least 80% recovered already .

that being said i've been having lots of weird cravings lately , so much so i'm being to doubt myself .

first and foremost , i finally visited the magnum pop up store which was along collyer quay so it was pretty scenic . (i generally like settings by the river)

my diy magnum !
had a tad too much flowers for me to stomach though .

the astonishing thing that i've been trying out lately is :


salad ! who would've figured .
and what's more alarming is that this is the 2nd salad i'm trying .

to put it frankly , i'm have never been a huge believer nor fan of salad .

why-
1. carbs are my main diet
(say in a pasta dish , my favourite part of it would be the pasta and not the meat/sauces etc.)
2. i dislike most veges and salads are loaded with them
3. salads do not help you to lose weight due to the dressing which is fattening , and the amount is huge

nowadays though , i am more open to salads because i realized that for a salad base , normally romaine lettuce or penne pasta are available as choices (which i would opt to mix) . i like pasta and lettuce so the base is a win win for me . also , my workplace at novena has at least 2 stalls which offer a variety of ingredients to choose from (i even chose orange and grape as seen above)

so yep .
even if salad doesnt help me to lose weight it contributes to healthy eating i suppose .
i do want to be more healthy , and also to cut down on meat , so it's good for healthy , meatless days .

which is normally a challenge for me because i don't really touch much vegetables .

my other favourite meatless meals include:
arrabiata , subway's egg mayo , home cooked vegetarian meat dumplings with rice

the reason for going vegan once in awhile for me is mainly so i don't kill or eat animals !

moving on , some new tea i tried !
forgot the name of the cafe but it was nice and quaint , somewhere along dhoby .

morning boost in my themas :3

and i've been on a pants craze lately , been searching for a perfect pair .
here is one i got just yesterday !

check out my ootd while you are at it too . heh .
lemme know what you think~

sorry if the ending is rather abrupt cuz i need to rush off nao .
see you guys soonish and thanks once again for popping by ! ♥
