gorgeous Christmas Cake

Recently, I received this Christmas Cake from one of my father's friends. This was nicely wrapped and the design is too cute that I don't feel like cutting it !!

This Christmas Cake was actually a chocolate-mocha roll cake which was covered with some marshmallow-texture white icing, and other Christmas decorations icing on top of it.
how bout the taste? The taste is as good as it looks, yummy-licious !!!
The roll cake is not sweet and i love the icing.

Welcome to the family. Finally, my second wishlist came true. well, the color is not I have been wishing for. but this new baby is surprisingly gorgeous :*
Just bought it this morning and i just couldnt wait to wear it.
I love the color, and it shows the Christmas atmosphere already, with the gold studs ornaments, the bracelet is just as perfect as the blue one (HERE)

Tin Pan Alley in Jakarta (Indonesia)

 

Christmas is just 2 days away, have you asked for any Christmas gift yet? Well, my Christmas present this year is going for an 8 days trips to Korea and my family and I gonna spend the New Year there :)
by the way, I made a special request to review about Tin Pan Alley from one of my viewers/followers. Hope you enjoy this :D

One of the best red velvet that I have ever tried ! love the sweet creamy thing on top. It is sooo tasty that makes me wanna have it for moreeeee ! High recommendation from me to try this red velvet. it is not too sweet but just has the right taste :D

Tin Pan Alley is another restaurant that is located in UOB Plaza (Where Pesto and Tony Romas are located as well). I love the design interior in Tin Pan Alley, quite, not too big, and elegant as well. Best for having a dinner with your friends or partners
By the way, they are having a special Christmas menu such as: Roasted Turkey with gravy and canberry sauce, and homemade panacota with strawberry sauce. there are special Christmas drinks like Classic Eggnog and original Hot Wine.

Spare some time with your friends to enjoy the Christmas menu and also don't forget to make reservations especially during the weekends!

Semi-formal outwear will suit the atmosphere around :)

CELINE

How many of you know these gorgeous luggage tote from CELINE? yeah, theses fabulous items are my most favorite bag of the year !!! love the cute design and the color tone that suits to teenagers as well as adults.
among of many CELINE bags, these are my favorite ones :

LOVE THIS FLUFFFFFFFFY FELLLLAAA ! 

When people ask me which CELINE should I choose among these, my answers would therefore always be the same: "I COULDN'T CHOOSE WHICH ONE" yeahhh. i wish i could have all of them.

if i were (using were, because it would be impossible to choose) to pick one, I would choose the fluffy bag with white feather. WHY? it is cute and yet special and unique. and so far, never seen someone using that bag before. I love the orange as well. but it would be hard for me to suit which clothes, and also i have already had an orange bag.

The black bag and the black and white combination would have been my second and third option. the color is natural and yet it can suit to any types of clothes. 

the yellow one is perfect for this upcoming spring and summer, and the last one, the nude, gosh !!! that would the runner up after the fluffy bag..

but the big prob is: I COULDNT CHOOSE ANY OF THESE!

so.. which one is your fav then?

Opera Blanc

As promised before, on the previous post about "GIGANTIC PIZZA", here is another food post about Opera Blanc.
Sorry for the lack of new posts these few days or months I guess, due to the piles of projects going on for   my university life. But the good thing is... Winter holiday is coming soon :) yay ~
I might not be updating my blog for 8 days, from 26th Dec to 2nd Jan, I will be going to Korea
(there will be a special post for this!)

This was taken from my seating-view and I edited the tone color of that evening. I went here with my two best buddies, Kevin and Bryan, my partners-in-crime for FOOD :D
Mostly, I try different types of food with these two people, and sometimes, they give me the recommendations which resto should I try.

GIGANTIC PIZZA ! haha. i forgot the name but if I am not mistaken, this is OPERA BLANC specialty. you can have two toppings on 1 pizza :D
There were 3 of us, 2 boys, and myself a girl, and we could not finish this up.
this is way toooooo MUCH!

this is our bill. Isn't it cute? Bryan, kevin, and I spent 3 hours here for enjoying our early dinner.
It is really nice place where you can have a long chit-chat with your friends.
the place is cozy and comfortable, and suitable for us the teens

My Little Sister - Erika Sanjaya

many of you might not know that I have sisters. Yea, I have 2 small sisters, the first one is 15-going-to-16 this upcoming New Year (she was born exactly on the 1st Jan) and the smallest is 9-going-to-10.

So, introducing my smallest sister, Erika Sanjaya:

Erika Sanjaya for Canon. This was taken by my mother's friend for a photo competition held by Canon

 this was me and her, I always tell her: If you want to skate, just skate with your heart, with no force

this is during christmas show few years ago, as she was doing axel jump. she was just 7 years old at that time.

the three of us used to skate together. however, i stopped skating when I have to study overseas few years back then. But, I am still missing how to skate until now, even though i dont wanna continue it anymore. My second sister stopped as well and left with Erika. She has been competing with other skaters worlwide, such as from England, SouthEast Asia countries, and Dubai, during many competitions held both in Indonesia as well as other countries.

After all, I am very proud of her, my lovely sissy! :)
