Mosaic is a cafe located at the ever classic Hyatt Regency, one of the oldest hotel establishments in the city. I personally love the vibe here. Its simple, cozy and quiet interior never gets me tired of the place. I also especially love the coffee here. The gelatos I would give a 4/5 rating. Worth every penny.
To answer the above title, yes they still are. Social distancing may have separated us from the retail shops, local cinemas or live concerts, but not this particular product. While I was still doing my MBA and completing my research project, I had found out that small to medium businesses had the most impact due to the MCO. Not just them, even bigger brands had encountered a massive cut in their performances profit wise. Small businesses were forced to close down and others just went online to sell their goods. But I gotta say I was expecting the bubble tea trend to die down in the aftermath as well. It kind of did for a while during the first season of MCO because most pf them were closed, but then the second season started and they were alive again. People are now out of their homes and spending money again so I guess it all worked out. This particular bubble tea brand is one of my favourites. It is called Majeztea and I think they just opened their third store in my city. What I love about this brand is their addictive chocoreo drink. They also have this sort of modern vibe to their interior store as well. I’ll just leave the photos here for memory sake.
The streets have been quite busy this second round of MCO. The cafes that were empty during the first season of social distancing slowly became preoccupied again. This particular vibe at woo! however stood out the most to me this season. I am not sure whether it was the redecorating or the lighting was right, but it definitely was what they call instagram worthy. But what is a cafe without it’s over the top fusion menu or its state of the art lattes? I shall let the pictures speak for themselves. My one and only review about the food however that it maybe slightly overpriced than other cafes on the street. But if you want to have a chat with a long time friend over breakfast or just have some work done with a cup of coffee then Woo! is the place to be at.
Reading the same page the past hour till my neck hurts to get an idea of how data analysis is carried out in qualitative studies. Only to realize that in order to get my work started, I need to turn the next page in order to see the results, hence the answer to all the stress I had the past few days. The same applies when it comes to life I guess. In order to move forward we need to flip the page while occasionally looking at the previous pages to learn, reflect and be an even better version of ourselves. #latenightthoughts
I am the type of person that almost never really plans anything on a day out. I just go out for the sake of wanting to be out of the house. Because I think unplanned days are the best. Everything is just random and there’s no pressure to do anything. And so it was a day where a friend of mine had to do an online interview. We were then at a mamak place eating cheese naan. We were supposed to go back before her interview so she could do it at home. But time flies when one is having fun. It was almost ten and we had to find a place that was not crowded or noisy and after a lot of driving and gossiping around kk we finally ended up at this beautiful cafe called Nook.
Nook is a cafe I have not been to in probably 4 years. I haven’t gone since it got renovated or changed their menu, and I was so excited to see how much it changed over the years. And also, the fact that it’s still there! A lot of cafes have closed down on this street, it is quite fortunate for Nook to be one of those still standing.
The title, depending on how you perceive it as, can be both deep and dark in meaning at the same time. For myself in particular, it can only mean one thing. That whomever I meet in the past or present may one day haunt me again or in a good sense, make an unexpected comeback into my life. I’ve always thought that I would never be able to make friends when I enrolled into the MBA course. But to my surprise, I didn’t just make one, but three friends whom I’d never would expect I’d be so attached to. And to put a cherry on top of my surprising outcomes, I met a long lost relative, whom I haven’t set eyes on since childhood.
It’s funny how life is, we meet people who we’d never thought we’d get attached to and how we’d also meet people we’d never thought we’d see again. All that has happened for the past several months just seems like a dream that I just can’t wake up from. Everything went by so fast. I’m already halfway in my second semester soon it will be Ramadan. Aahh the holy month. I have a specific tradition when it comes to Ramadan. In which it is the month of which I reach out to the friendships that have existed but burnout in time.
I thought I would reach this Ramadan without having to do that again as I’ve already tied my lose ends last year. But amazingly fate has done it yet again. This friendship tho, is not as easier to reach out as the others. The hardest so far if I may add. As it is a friendship that was never blossomed in the first place, but fate kept on giving it an opportunity to exist I wonder if I should give it a go or just give up completely.
It’s almost the end of 2019. Also marks the end of a decade. I look back on my years and I can’t believe that I’m turning 27 next year. May 2020 be an even better year for all of us. Goals? Still the same. But this time, I’m keeping it to myself. 😘
I gotta say, I definitely saw that one coming. I’m usually quite slow at picking up things so a “surprise” always ends up really being a surprise for me. But that was not the case this year. I’ve officially improved my awareness level at analyzing situations and picking up hints. 😝 Hence, I was not surprised when friends suddenly showed up with a cake on my birthday. But I really loved the cake tho 💜
I’ve always had the impression that my life is boring. But as I recall the years of my “oh so dramatic” adolescence, perhaps I’m not as boring as I thought I was. People always say to me that my life is like a novel. Every other day that I breathe, something always happens. Why don’t you write about it they say. Maybe one day when you’re older and read about them again, you can have a laugh at how ridiculous you were when you were young.
I’ve always thought about writing about them in this blog. But I think it would be too long to write my embarrassing moments since I’ve had plenty. It is quite tempting tho, especially after my recent discoveries. People always tell me about the stories they’ve heard about me from others. Should I tell it from my point of view? Should I express it in words?
