Hana Kami 花樣少年少女

you got sano! moody and silent, he's the main love interest for mizuki, the sort of guy who isn't very talkative at all, the sort of guy who keeps his feelings, his emotions, and basically everything he's thinking locked up inside. he's, you know, not so much the mysterious type as the brooding type, sexy and with the occasional "i'm so sweet" tendency, though he's not the best conversationalist.
take the quiz:which hanakimi boy is right for -you-?

p/s: There is just no simple explanation for attraction, I often thank my lucky stars, to have found my "左以泉"!

Wa Cafe

The newly renovated National Museum deserves a visit.

After browsing, do drop by one of the new cafes on the premise.

Pretty WA Cafe serves gorgeous home baked breads and delectable cakes and you can choose from 290 design books and periodicals to browse through while having a cuppa.

It is a nice and cosy place with sofas and comfy chairs just right to spend a delightful afternoon.

I like cafes and cafe culture!

One of the things I miss so much is being able to sit al-freso by the pavement and watch the crowd go by. There just aren't that many places in Singapore to do that!!

TUNE HOTEL.COM

Tune Hotels’ first flagship hotel in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur

The brightly painted facade is difficult to miss. Tune Hotels.com, opens its flagship “no-frills” hotel today, and aims to take advantage of the growing budget hotels segment, pushing its expansion plans in the future. It said in a statement that budget hotels had registered up to 90% occupancy rates following the booming budget airlines industry, where players have been offering aggressive promotions to various destinations.

Quick to jump on the bandwagon, this hotel offers 173 single and double rooms, where guests are given an option for add-on amenities like soap, towel and air-conditioner at a small cost. Automated teller machine services, an Internet room and currency exchange services will also be made available. Rooms are secure, with chip-card access and extensive CCTV cameras placed throughout the premises for security.

For this venture, Tune Hotels.com teamed up with strategic partners Pensonic Holdings Bhd, Nippon Paint (M) Sdn Bhd and Johnson Suisse (M) Sdn Bhd for various outfitting items.

Shall We Swap?

IF ONLY...
A friend of mine has recently gone to London to work. She arrived in London last week and I received an email from her yesterday saying that she misses home very much and that she feels like taking a flight back. And here I am, hoping against hope, wishing so much that I could swap places with her!!! Like hello, I'm putting up my hand here, waving madly, but the teacher doesn't see me.

While looking for permanent accommodation, she's staying at a Service Apartment in Central London, and she describes overlooking the River Thames. Ah, certainly brings back fond memories!

She says that the weather has been erratic but pleasant and she has also gotten a nice tan from all the walking in the sun. In addition, due to low humidity, she feels that her skin is becoming rather dry. For me, I never really had that problem and during Spring and Summer, I just loved the clear blue skies and sunshine! I also really miss all the walking I used to do in London. I really enjoyed walking everywhere - walking to and from the tube stations, Markets(Camden, Borough, Spitalfields, Covent Garden) , the parks(Hyde Park, St. Jame's Park, Kensington Park), and around the city. Walking was such a pleasant activity and basically most times it was better to walk since public transport is so expensive and slow at times.

Anyway, I think she's just suffering from the anxiety of being in a new place. She'll adapt to the place soon enough and she'll find that she'll never want to leave!
I guess when I went over, I was lucky that I didn't have to grapple with problems of settling in . I found lovely accommodation quite soon and subsequently phone and Internet connection. Plus it also helped that I was familiar with the city already. I knew where places were and I knew how to navigate myself around the public transport system the moment I arrived.

Still, I'm up for a swap with her anytime if only reality permitted!
