Stateland Cafe

Finally got my waffle fix after craving for it for such a long time! I've been wanting to check out Stateland Cafe cause I've been seeing photos of their waffles on IG for the longest time ever! It's actually located at Bali Lane, which is right next to Haji Lane so it's really convenient to get to. About a 5 mins walk from Bugis MRT.

 The Classic Waffle ($9.90)

Blueberries ($2)

Jo decided to get classic waffles that day cause she wanted something simple and light. We were both saying that we shouldn't eat such a heavy meal cause there's lots of cafes at Haji Lane and we could always try out another shop. I had a bite of hers and I found it quite average. Nth really spectacular but it wasn't bad as well. She added extra blueberries but we couldn't really see how it's worth $2. The waffles initially alr came with blueberries so they added really little extra blueberries.

 The Red Velvet ($14.90)

And here's what I got! I was initially inclined to get the big breakfast but I decided to try their waffles instead since it's what they're famous for. And the results? I was so disappointed ): I'm not someone who is very particular about my food. Honestly, I can't tell when something is too creamy, too sweet or stuff like that. But this was really so bad. My waffles were burnt. I actually had to stab the knife into the waffle to cut it. Towards the middle, it got better though. Maybe cause the ice cream was there to kind of overcome the burnt taste. Initially, I thought it was just me but after Jo tried it, she just stared at me and said it's really burnt. Hahaha but being the nice customer that I was, I didn't request for a change or anything.

Well and here's a photo of both our waffles tgt. At least their waffles are pretty and presentable. As for the burnt aspect, it could be a slip up and doesn't occur very often. Jo's one tasted totally fine so I guess I'm just unlucky.

And a photo outside their shop! I'll be blogging about my outfit and trip to Haji Lane soon so stay tuned! (:

Hands down the girliest outfit I own haha! I know it looks like a dress but it's actually a really cute 2 piece set! An off shoulder top and a skirt(: So you can wear it seperately as well which is really value for money! And this is how you expand your wardrobe hahaha

I really must praise El-ska for their customer service. This is my third time buying from them and they always upgrade my delivery to doorstep delivery free of charge! This means that there's no such thing as lost mail (happened to me before boohoo) and I get to received it the very next day! Which explains why I managed to wear this set out on Thursday when I only ordered it on Wednesday(:

I've really nvr experience such good customer service from a blogshop before. They even texted me to ask stuff like whether I like the apparels or whether there are any areas for improvements. 10 thumbs up!

Prelims are finally over!!! It feels weird that I don't have to study but I feel this urge to. Hahaha but going to ignore that urge and just enjoy this week(:

Some of you might recognise this outfit from my header photo up there! I wore this out for a birthday celebration with my family at my favourite place ever! Just imagine that there are luggages on the trolleys and everything will make sense haha! I'm currently in the midst of planning for a year end trip with my friends! Can you guess where I'm gng?

Now back to this outfit. So I really felt like a bunny on that day with my white dress and bunny headband. I just love wearing such headbands! They're so playful and just adds that extra little smth to your outfit! Decided to wear this dress cause I wanted to wear my favourite colour on my birthday haha!

Decided on this outfit on my birthday 2 weeks back cause I felt extra girly that day(:

Featuring a bustier which I got at a sale from TTR! TTR's sales are just insanely crazy (which is awesome for us) and I'm so glad I managed to get this! Got 3 more items as well which I haven't got to wear yet but still, it's such a deal!

And of course I had to go with my favourite tutu ballerina midi. I'd done a review on it before which you can read about it here but I've decided to sell it cause it's a little loose for me now. Do drop me an email if you're interested in purchasing it! 

Short post today cause I got to get back to studying. Last paper tmr!!

To start things off, I am extremely sorry for the lack of updates on this page hahaha. I've been busy with prelims the last few weeks, I rarely even go out! I'm still in the midst of my exams actually but I thought that since it's Friday, I probably should cut myself some slack (even though I took a 3h nap right after my paper hehe) and just want to say thank you to those who have been coming back here frequently!

Today's post features a dress which I got wayyyyy back. Around 5 months back actually. I always tell myself to stop shopping because my parcels are arriving faster than the rate of me wearing them so my clothes just end up being piled up in my wardrobe. But I'm just a sucker for dresses with unique cut outs just like this! I even bought the exact dress in black which I can't wait to wear out!

This dress has a really flattering cut to it and it looks pretty structured because of the pleats at the bottom. I'd probably only wear it once though cause dresses like this really makes a statement and it's not as versatile as other plain dresses. With that being said, no regrets on purchasing this!

And yes, I do realise that I have lots of baby hair hahaha. Really need to rmb to use hairspray when I tie a bun next time!

A little update but 3 more papers next week and I'm done with prelims!!

Pam's Farewell

A bitter sweet moment writing this post because a friend of mine is flying off to the states today to further her studies. Well I actually have not seen Pamela for quite some time ever since she left SR last year but throughout her time in SR, we did build quite a friendship. She's actually the first person I met when we were split into our class (along with Jo) and I still rmb how the 3 of us had spaghetti tgt on the first day haha! She was also in my PW group so we really did spend quite some time tgt.

So her friends decided to organise a little farewell party for her and we were all quite surprised when they invited us via Jia Lin cause we actually don't know each other haha! A really nice guy called Nick organised it and he facebook messaged Jia Lin who then invited all of us.

When Pam entered her farewell party, she was really quite shock but the greatest shock of all was seeing a group of us there. She shared that she kind of guessed that she's gng for a surprise farewell party but she nvr expected us to be there at all. In fact, out of all the groups of ppl there she ran to us first right after she saw us hahaha! (Glad we surprised you Pam!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pammy's flying off tonight/tmr morning but we cant' send her off cause our prelims start tmr (hahaha crap) but we're all sending our virtual hugs over!!

 

All the best for whatever is to come and I'm sure you'll have an amazing making new friends and exploring new places! If taking a super long flight seems too tiring just rmb, all of us from 01 would very much rather be in your spot in the plane than sitting in the hall writing like there's no tmr cause time is nvr on Arts students side hahaha!

And to end things off,

WE WILL MISS YOU PAM!

"Even though we've changed and we're all finding a place in this world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point when we're not all still friends."
