Sunny Sunday + Sweet Obsession

If you know me, I'm a HUGE fan of sweets. I can eat sweet as meal replacement, and since I work at a teahouse I often get to take home our desserts .

I've heard a lot of good things about this dessert place called ''Sweet Obsession'' and been itching to try it out. It was a Sunday off for both me and Sharon so we decided to go check it out. Our day off always started late as we both love sleeping in, plus makeup+hair time, we only made it out of the house by 1pm.

Originally we were gonna have lunch at this Sukiyaki restaurant, but when we got there it was already closed for lunch. We had no choice but to go to a close by Hongkong cafe called ''Honolulu''. I went past that place a lot before but never went inside, and noticed it's always pretty busy. Appearently quite a few people I know recommended this place too.

The food was quite cheap as they had their own lunch special, but you get what you pay for, it was just so so. What can I expect for a $8 lunch combo eh?


I'm not a picky eater so i had no complain bout the food. However the service did tick me off. There were a lot of servers there, I'm surprised they can't manage at least some acceptable customer service. As a server myself I'm quite nitpicking when it comes to customer service. When our food was delivered, the waitress literally throw the plate down on the table corner, without LOOKING at us or even introduce the item. We had to figure out the dish ourselves. With that kind of service it's no better than an AYCE place, I guess they dont expect to get tipped anyway.


After lunch we took a walk along Main Street. I really love this area, there're a lot of antique/vintage/thrift stores and cafes with interesting interior. Take this one for example:


They serve Ethiopian food and drinks here, as well as fresh food smoothie which was very delicious X3


I actually pictured ''Sweet Obsession'' to look prettier inside though, in reality it's quite neat and simple looking 'w'


There were so many cakes to choose from, I had a hard time deciding OAO''. We ended up both getting chocolate cakes XD. The cakes were yummy and best of all they weren't super sweet.

White Chocolate Raspberry Mousse
Neopolitan Cake
All the servers there were male, and the one who served us was pretty cute as well ^w^. Definitely coming back there again



BTW, I did my own nails.

21 Birthday


So I turned 21st last month :D . It's a bit sad though, one year older *sigh*.

I kind of planned everything last minute, only started inviting people 2 weeks prior to the actual date. Reason being I had no idea where to hold the party at, and in the end I ended up having it at my workplace Adonia teahouse ^^''.

It's a bit like a tradition, I always have a tea party for my birthday :). This year is a bit different, I don't have 20+ guests anymore, since I tried to keep the attendants to only close friends/people I actually talk to often.

I had intended to wake up early that day to go to my hair dresser - also my friend, Viki's salon to get my oil treatment done, but no alarm had to screw up and I ended up waking up at 10 instead of 8:30 =_=. Though it makes sense may be I turned it off half asleep, I did stay up til 5am doing my nails orz

Eventually i managed to get my hair done and everything and make it out to my party , only half an hour late ... guys i'm sorry DX. Now you all know i'm a terrible person at being on time ...

The first location was Nikkoffee, it's a maid cafe . The interior is really cute and French looking but the food is only so so. And it's always empty when I go there, wonder how do they even manage it .__.''



We had some late lunch there , here're some of the food ^^~

 
My sister, Sharon, also wear cream color outfit that day <3

Me and my best friend, Galina


It's a good thing that the cafe was empty that day as well, so we werent bothering anyone with our photo taking X)

Notice the note says ''Do not Touch'' LOL

Afterward we had some spare time before our reservation at Adonia, so we headed to Parker place for some Purikura. They have the big eye machine there haha.

Only the girls participated of course :D.


I chose to have reservation at 4:30 pm since Adonia can be very busy on a weekend, and I dont want too much attention + bother other customers. Here's how my workplace look like, pretty isnt it? We serve afternoon tea here


My boss gave me this tea cup as a present, along with a couple accessories . She's so nice QwQ <3<3

Our famous scones *yum*

I did my own nails ^^~. Do you like it?
 
We did take a few group shots but all of them turned out horrible, each photo at least 1 of us moved or blurry D; . So sorry i cant upload them here for you guys :(


Here's my most favorite present I received, my good friend Kou (who refuses to be pictured) made the box to match with my outfit <3.  Insides are Urban Decay eyelash primer, Nars Super Orgasm blush (lol) and L'oreal hair mask. I wanted those cosmetic lonnnngggg time ago but they are a bit pricey, I was surprised she got me all that considering she's still in school and doesnt have a job QAQ. Such a nice friend she is .

If you follow my Deviantart, she also photographed some of my works there :D
