Kau Kee | Probably the Best Beef Brisket Noodles I’ve Ever Had

September 15, 2015by Michelle Leave a comment

Ahhh, Kau Kee. Before I went to Hong Kong this time, I did some research on places to eat. And in many of my searches and chats with friends, Kau […]

What I've been up to

So I often have some (unnecessary) anxiety when I have to #dance in front of people, but this was SUCH an awesome workshop and I love all the moves and tips to do them. It's been a while but I still absolutely love the way @sharonpakirdance teaches. ❤️❤️❤️ This has kinda made me remember how lovely #ChaCha can be (I've neglected it due to other loves like #Salsa, #Bachata and Zouk 😂😂), plus I think it's something I need to practice for my overall #dancing lol. Thank you @mambosingapore and @eddie.lim for organising and for this #video! 🙌 And... I'm psyched for lotsa #socialdancing tonight at the #SLE2019 pre-party woohoo! . #ChaChaCha #LatinDance #MyDanceLife #Singapore #SimplyFunDancing #FuegoShoes

So the latest Korean drama I'm on, 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty 내아이디는 강남미인', is really striking a chord with me. While growing up, I was often made fun of for being chubby, for being... different in general, and that affected my self-esteem for quite some time. Wanting to be accepted and 'loved', I compromised far too much on where my boundaries should be, a little like how the girls in this show do. And these things become a habit, but I guess the important thing is to be aware of when it's happening and decide if it's actually what you want to do or if you are just letting it happen. At the end of the day though, people and shows like these can say pretty words like 'it's what inside that counts' (I do believe this but looks are a bonus, no?), but people will always judge, and those who have a higher aesthetic (natural or enhanced) will usually have an advantage in certain ways. I suppose it depends on what you value or want to achieve, and whether you know what you're doing it for - are you trying to look beautiful for yourself or for others? In any case, the perception of beauty is different around the world so maybe, those of us who aren't accepted for how we look are just hanging out with the wrong crowd (or need better make up skills? Hahaha I'M KIDDING). 😂 Anyway what I'm trying to say is I get how they feel, because I never felt pretty all through my teenage years (refer to the picture and the horrible fashion sense hahaha) and even now, not really all that often. But I do understand now that #beauty is so much more than just appearance, and I'm at peace with that. 😊 나는 생각 예쁜 좋아지만 성격 더 종요해~ . 📷: @fluffled #Throwback #14YearsOld #Teenager #RandomMusings

Oh hello there. 😋 Mad rush leading up to SLE with lots of things to do (or course totally not comparable to the organisers, I just mean more than usual lol), but I'm glad I managed to squeeze in a quick (and very #tasty) #dinner with some lovely ladies tonight... Yay and yums! 😁🤗 Hope I manage to burn some of it off later though....... . #SgFood #SgFoodies #SgFoodstagram #Burpple #Instafood_Sg #TheCoconutClub

Been feeling rather disappointed lately, in people and their actions, and also in my own. But, I like to think the best of everyone until they prove me wrong, so I'm taking things with a pinch of salt still. Besides, not everyone agrees with everyone else's choices in life. Ultimately, we make our own choices, in spite of or because of what others say, and we have to either be happy with it even if it upsets others, or live and learn from it and make new ones along the way, should any turn out not to be the best choice. End of the day, I think what's important is that we are true to our own values and beliefs, responsible for our own actions and are at peace with ourselves. . Though, I think I've been experiencing internal conflict because my actions or choices seem to sometimes go against these, but then again it can be really hard to decide... Values or friendship? 🤔 #RandomMusings #Monday #Travel #Ootd #Bangkok #Throwback #JustWantedToHaveAPictureForTheWords

Because life is just that much more #colourful with fresh, #handmade blue #pasta. 😂💙 . #Dinner #Yummy #Throwback #PastaSumpremoSG #SgFood #DailyLifting #NoodlePorn #NoCarbsForDinnerToday #Burpple #Instafood_Sg #SgFoodstagram #SgFoodies
