I wish I could look bright and sunny every start of the day but it’s tough when sleep quality was bad  specially during time of the month. Only girls would understand the nightmare that cause a bad sleep during time of the month; leakage and insecurity during sleep.

But now, this is not an issue anymore! *smirk* I can now have a peace of mind with All-New Laurier Night Safe with Gather! It takes care of all the sudden gushes and heavy flow during the start of the

cycle thanks to its Ultra Absorbent Core! It’s able to absorb and lock in fluids which means no more back leakage!

It’s a bonus with the safety fit gather that prevents side leakage no matter how much I move in my  sleep.

It works exactly as I need them to and now I can sleep soundly like a baby and wake up brighter than the morning sun!

232: My Birthday Throwback + Bean Brothers!

Can you see the glow on my face?! Maybe not so much. Haha..

It was night shift for me and coming back home past midnight, I was just thinking of the bed and nothing else but guess what? I was greeted with this pretty bouquet and birthday cakes! Yes, a combination of cake slices! :D

Couldn't say this enough but I love 'em flowers! I'm a girl who's heart flutters at beautiful flowers. :) Just so you know (or anyone else)... flowers are from Floristika at Bangsar. I would not say flowers are extremely cheap there but prices are reasonable. Wrapping service is available above. 

I love this place because flowers here are really fresh.

Throwback new unicorn hair colour from Groom Artistry! All about it here.

Faint colour is love. What's your favourite?

Hightlight stop for the day is Bean Brothers. A place I have been wanting to visit for so long! Finally we made it here! This place is huge, considering that it took up a factory lot! 

As if it's not the biggest cafe I've been to, this place consist of 2 floors! The upper floor give you more space for privacy and quietness. Just perfect for work and study.

Right behind me is a wall with a few big frame for each outlet there is in Korea - Incheon, Gangnam, Shindorim, Henan, Google Campus and more! They're not just like any booming cafe but one you should take seriously considering the size of their every outlet, consistency of their perfection of interior, management of every outlet and most importantly, their specialization in coffee.

The circling bar seat on the higher level is good for people watching :D Especially when you have a curious devil in you always wondering how your cup of coffee is made.

I'm very inlove and impressed with the induatrial design with combination of wood work. Though like a run down factory ruin with sights of rust and raw cement openings, everything was almost sparkling clean. 

 

As I was saying about their coffee, we had a try on their fruity flora beans in long black and flat white. Almost never before have I tasted an extraction of fruity or floral coffee in a cup of  flat white before. The fruity and floral taste was vivid. It was stronger in aroma when the coffee enters my mouth. Very much recommended.

The lower ground is a more casual and public space. Although place has huge, lighting and audio was carefully coordinated.

The kitchen was closed when I visited, open only on very limited times. Not sure about now though. Hopefully the kitchen is open more often now. It would be good to have some food after some work considering the place is pretty far away to get food.

Outfit of the day...
High waisted short from Forever21
Red White Stripe Crop Top from Mng
Sling Back from XES
Black Sneakers from Converse
Hair Makeover from Groom Artistry

168: To Do and Not To Do When Giving Flowers to a Girl

I love flowers! I love the light floating scent of flowers lingering around me.

I still remember the first time he gave me flowers. It happened because he got me upset with something he said. I wasn't angry at him to the unforgivable extend but the bouquet definitely led to a hidden smile deep inside. 

I knew it wasn't cheap. So I told him not to get me flowers anymore because they just wither and die easily. Said it like I don't fancy flowers that much. Deep down inside, it was like fighting the urge to look forward to another bouquet in the future. Try to be logical and sensible instead of just letting my feelings empower my brain.

After a year together, he got me flowers again! 

This time, it was like the old school way. Very old school.

2 separate bulk of flowers, which I would like to put them nicely as the old school way. 

Why?

Because they were not wrapped in nice placements of a bouquet. It felt like receiving those beautiful weeds and flowers which he plucked off some Springfield. Romantic?

To be honest, I was having mixed feeling when I saw him with the flowers. Love them because they are from him and they are.. well, flowers. Tad bit disappointed because if I were to receive flowers from him, I some how have an expectation of the flowers to be nicely wrapped up or at least tie into a bouquet. Can I say it's one of those silly young girl's fancy expectation I had in me? Or are there any other girls with me on this? 

I couldn't help but show my disappointment while at the same time, feeling bad for showing this feeling to him after all his effort of getting me flowers. Talk about dilemma and fighting the evil soul. But then, it wasn't really his fault. He went to a floral supplier expecting to find a florist shop which offers wrapping services. Make sense right? But to his dismay, they really don't provide wrapping service. Still, he bought them flowers, knowing I'll love them and definitely not knowing I will give him this reaction.

At the beginning, the battle of the to do and not to do rules of giving flowers to a girl keep churning in my head. I was telling myself, "if I'm a guy, I would definitely give the girl a nicely wrapped up or tied up bouquet of flower of just don't give it to her at all." I just could not sink in to naturally accept flowers in that condition.

Our expectations were so opposite.

Somehow, as the day pass and reaches dawn, the senses came to me. No grudge held, my heart just melts thinking of the flowers (resting in my pail because I don't have a vase big enough for them flowers. lol)... thinking of what he did (planning and buying those flowers for me), what he thought (my smile when I see the flowers), what he wanted most (to make me happy and feel special on this special day).

At the beginning, I reacted from my automatic mild conscious expectation (kinda like the nerve reflex before the info hits the brain) but in the end, I reacted from my conscious mind where I could feel and understand where his sweet thoughts came about.

At the end of the day, it really is the thoughts that counts!

Still, I would be prefer if the flowers were presented to me in a bouquet in the future. :D (doesn't matter if it's just held together by a string. Don't need to be fancy. Just as long as they are held together as a bouquet)

There's really no right or wrong because all humans are unique where brains think differently, expect differently. This is where both partners will need to compromise with each other. Communicate more to understand what makes each other happy and compromise on them.

Ending this with a personality question.  Which type of person are you?

• Someone who would give presents of things which the person like and expect the same from your present giver.

OR

• 
  Someone who would just appreciate anything that you receive from a person even if it is something which you do not want / dislike and expect the same from your present receiver.
