Had a day out by myself. It's so fun going out by oneself. I'm starting to get hooked on it.

Kinokuniya is having a 20% storewide discount from 10-16 March as part of their "A Picture Paints A Thousand Words" promotion. I love it whenever there is a 20% discount. I would make sure to get a couple of books to make my money worth it. Unfortunately, I'm broke this month so I could only afford the books I can't do without. And very sadly, they do not take stock of the book I'm hunting for. The libraries do not have it either. Maybe I should try ordering it online. There are a couple of dystopian novels that I want to read and display proudly on my shelf. (:

Ended up getting myself a classical guitar guidebook and Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul. I am becoming a collector of the Chicken Soup series, in addition to borrowing them from the library.

I finally got my Cold Stone Creamery fix! It has finally arrived in Singapore, exactly one year after I first ate it in Taiwan. Been waiting for this day since forever! (Yup, I'm extremely happy about it.)


I've only praises for this ice cream boutique. This has to be the happiest eatery I've been to. The staff would break out into Cold Stone Creamery songs and cheers at random, sometimes even dancing! They are super friendly and when they serve you, they do it with a big smile. It was entertaining watching them do stunts with the ice cream too, like tossing it into the air and catching it in the paper cup/waffle. I could really give them 10/10 for their service.

Another thing I like is the ambience. The dim lighting, spaciousness, and cushy sofas lying around gives the place a cosy feeling. I can totally foresee myself spending lazy afternoons here, digging into rich ice cream creations while poring over a good book. Which was what I did today. I had a perfect afternoon. I'm totally enjoying life these days.

Peanut butter cup perfection. It was delicious! :D I ordered the medium size (they call it 'Love It' there) and it turned out to be a bigger portion than I'd expected. The whole deal was made sweeter (pun fully intended!) by the fact that I had 32% off my bill. It was part of their pre-launch promotions on Facebook. They gave out discount vouchers daily, with the value being the same as the number of days left to the launch day. Ended up paying $6.35 instead of $8.90. (:

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
