The Music Run 2016

With music being the main highlight of the whole event, it was one hell of a crazy Saturday evening. We literally work hard and party harder!! Let's see what we did; Slid down a gigantic inflatable slide, got a medal for completing the 5km walk/run, had free flow of food and drinks, saw The Sam Willows perform, took a shameless selfie with Alan Wu and danced the night away with DJ Sam Withers and 10,000 other party animals! We definitely felt wild and young that night. I will let the vlog do the rest of the talking.

Before I leave, I would like to thank my Samaritans for the access passes! I really appreciate it!

Till next time... 

Brawn & Brains || #Mellyeats

From the title and pictures, I'm sure you are able to guess what today's post is going to be about. Today's cafe recommendation is, in my opinion, the most instagramable place ever!! Furnished with big windows (therefore so much natural sunlight), simple & clean cut furniture and a big ass yellow coffee machine, every corner is worth a shot. It is a photographer's heaven. If I were to make a comparison, it's similar to one of those places you will find in editorial magazines. 

Apart from the interior, I was also drawn to the array of homemade pastries on the shelf. Unfortunately I did not get to try them but the cinnamon roll will be my first choice. Because the grilled chicken avocado sandwich is such a huge portion, I had trouble finishing it even though it is flavourful and healthy. The only comment I will make is there should be more chicken in there. 

Lastly, how can we not talk about the coffee?! Hands down, I will come back for a cup everyday if it isn't SO far from my house. I had the option of choosing two types of roast; Pen & Pencil Blend or Popa-yan, and Pen & Pencil Blend was my choice. It has a chocolate-y taste to it. So if you are a chocolate addict like me, you will enjoy it. 

To conclude, Brawn & Brains is one of the places to have a chilled hang out session with friends. From its beautiful interior to great coffee, you will have a pleasant time there. The downside is it has limited food options and not that easily accessible. 

Till next time...

Small Change Makes A Huge Difference

"To live a day is a blessing in disguise. Most people survive."

Living with that quote in mind, I have decided to start a routine every morning before work starts. I am blessed, each morning, to have 30 mins to spare to cherish the new day and let my soul wander before reality hits. Therefore, I will make it a point to set my mind free, free from work/insecurities/troubles, and focus on what makes me happy and motivated to "live" rather than "survive". 

So far, through my walks, I have found a few instagramable places that one will overlook and identified the time the rubbish truck will come to collect the rubbish. Though nothing significant, I was able to capture a beautiful picture (like the one above) and avoid the smelly rubbish truck smell. These little things can affect a person's morning.

I urge everyone to give it a try.
