Play|Glam Styled Photoshoot

Even though I’ve done a couple of shoots, I’ve never gotten the opportunity to be in fashion/editorial-style ones, so I am really grateful when some of my dance students-turned-friends agreed to help me with this project of mine! Always loved how cool everything looks whenever I see such photos on my IG following feed haha.

THANK YOU for satisfying another of my little dreams! I really like how the photos turned out :D



2nd look! Spent a little too much time on the 1st look so we kinda had to rush through this haha:

[REVIEW] Cake Delivery Singapore

Last weekend was my elder (I feel the need to mention this because everyone thinks he's the younger one...) brother's birthday! I happened to have a cake sponsorship from Cake Delivery Singapore and my brother didn't mind having a 'free' cake so.... hahaha.

Here are some perks of ordering from Cake Delivery Singapore!
1. FREE delivery for orders above S$80 - this is already a plus point as many delivery charges can add up to become so expensive.
2. Midnight and 24-hr delivery services - now you can plan a last-minute midnight birthday surprise without worry!
3. Money-back guarantee if your cake arrived in bad condition, or is delivered late for more than one hour.


We chose the 9.5″ Chocolate Rainbow Cake (S$82.90) that was fit for 12 pax. Delivery was done within the requested timing but the size and weight caught me offguard - I clearly didn't register how big the cake was gonna be when I placed my orders hahaha. But all's good! The more the merrier.
The only disappointment was the 'Expectations vs Reality' presentation of the cake haha this was what was shown on the website which got us excited:



And this was what we received, which was still fine, just not as appealing:



So.. does my ELDER brother really look younger than me?? Hahaha:



After my Mum cut into the cake to reveal the bright red top layer, my excitement came back because it looks so pretty already!!:



TA-DA! Fluffy colourful layers of the rainbow:



I can really stare at the vivid colours the whole day. They are made with natural and preservative-free food colourings:



My family and I loved how the cake wasn't too sweet - the balance between the chocolate ganache, cream and cake (the layers only have a single flavour) was just right. The texture was soft and fluffy, the only pity was that the missing colourful sprinkles would have added an additional crunch.



Cake Delivery Singapore also has many other variety of cakes like Biscoff Cheesecake, Mao Shan Wang Chocolate cake, Ondeh Ondeh cake, as well as flower bouquets and soft toys for special occasions!

Thank you once again Natalie and Cake Delivery Singapore for allowing us to have a wonderful celebration! :)

Because I am unable to retrieve my Jojga photos from iCloud (nooOOooOOoO)..... here's a travelogue version to summarise the whole trip back in 2018/19 hahahaha. I've been wanting to blog about this trip for the longest time :(

[REVIEW] 8 Durian

If you remembered my review for 8 Crabs, they have recently sent me durians from their sister site, 8 Durian!
Each box contains 450g (+/- 10g) of wholesome durian flesh and seeds, with the durians freshly plucked everyday from old trees (15 years and older).

The containers were nicely heat sealed, but were unfortunately stored in the fridge for a couple for hours before I returned home (I wasn't expecting the delivery to be so fast hahaha - thumbs up for efficiency), resulting in this not-so-pleasing condensation oops:



Kept the 2nd box of 'AAA' unopened for my Mum who wasn't home that day.
left: Black Gold; right: AAA





Premium Mao Shan Wang ‘AAA Grade’ (S$42.90) - we ordered 2 boxes of these (only 1 shown here). The flesh was rich, creamy and sweet, with a slight bitter aftertaste. This taste combination is usually what I go for when I eat durians!





Did you know...? An authentic MSW should have long flesh and small seeds (checked!), and to be graded as an AAA Mao Shan Wang durian, the shell should be consistently round - any single protrusion is unacceptable.
Would love to see the roundness of this, but the durians came shell-less, so... too bad hahaha.

Premium Black Gold Durian (S$47.90) - it was my first time trying 'Black Gold'... this species is supposedly an enhanced version of their premium Mao Shan Wang durians, but there was a weird bitter-bland mix to it which I didn't like.
My father enjoyed eating this though! He cleared most of the Black Gold while I cleared the AAA hehe:







Predominantly small seeds such as the one seen here (pardon the messiness haha):




8 Durian provides fresh large shipment from their Pahang plantation, which arrives daily at 10am and 6pm.
They provide same-day delivery as well as express delivery!
