Prague.




I have this habit of scrolling 9gag before I fall into slumber. Often, I only read things which is hilarious because I want to go to sleep with a light mood. It's unhealthy to fall asleep empty and waking up with the same thing , so as a heavy heart. 

The picture above shows historical buildings with snow covering the roof enhancing the beauty of this romantic historical city. I always love modern city , and nothing close to the past. However, this is one of the city of my dreams which I must visit. I'm curious about this city if their sky is in a shed of purple-pink like how it is described, that couples walking on the street is more in love than whenever they are and every corner of the street gives you the hope for love.

It's just a picture, and it overwhelms me already.

I can't wait to visit you in future,
Prague.

The Owls Cafe .


This is me two months ago. Also, this proves how long this post is delayed in my drafts . I wanted to finish up all the post I have in drafts by the end of this year and I guess the plan is failing. December is always a little more busy than usual because I always want to tick the boxes of my checklist , and this year I guess it's almost done. 

This new year resolution thing is actually pretty motivating. Or perhaps, I want to draw a full stop before I hit 21 next year. 

People don't age according the figures of their age , maturity often comes with life experiences so I think that there is no difference. I just don't want to miss out anything I could do right now because I get lazier. 

Throwback to a new cafe in Sri Petaling named The Owls Cafe. 



I always love cafes showing this , allowing us to know the difference of the different cup of coffee they could offer.




Located at the second floor, the place is pretty limited in space. The interior major in white and peach, different from cafes which dim the lights with dark comfortable background. The Owls Cafe is rather more lively , and comfortable. The natural sunlight shining through the window with the full blast of aircond makes the whole environment alive. I love how cafe uses the natural sunlight in the day, and have their lights dim at the right point during the night. 

The Owls Cafe's signature is their waffles. 




Rebecca. 

This is one of their signature waffle ; and I couldn't deny how beautiful the presentation is. Besides being insta-worthy, the waffle was really light and crispy. The bater was mixed really well , and the scent of milk was really strong. The generous amount of fresh fruits and soft vanilla ice cream topped up with the good reviews you could read online.

Rebecca was beyond delicious . 



Couldn't get enough of the good presentation and taste of this waffle.



Flat White was light enough , and the coffee meet up to the expectation. It was smooth, and mild. 



I think this combination is really the perfect match for an afternoon break. Sometimes you just need to have something different besides a slice of cake. 

The Owls Cafe made my day . 


However, there are limited choice of pastry, cakes and things on the menu during my visit. I believe that they have improvise them since they are offering more than just one kind of waffle , toast and so on. This place is good for people who want to spend their afternoon with comfort food and a cup of good coffee. 

It would be perfect if the cafe emphasize on toning down their volume. It's not the people whom is in the place, but the way the barista brew the coffee was a little loud - it sounded like he was hammering something.

Besides that, everything is just fine.



Last picture , even if it looks more than just bad. lol .


till then.

The time of the year.



I know that it is difficult to detach yourself from people whom come into your life and changes your thoughts and perception over things , implying thoughts which had never came across your mind and teach you a life lesson. It is difficult to dissociate the moments you have with these people and forget about their presence in your life , and perhaps it will take a lot of work to genuinely accept that they don't stay - forever. 

People leave , often they outgrow you thus drifting apart from you and it may happen vice versa. 

Therefore , there is only one chance to create a perfect picture for you to store at the back of your mind and make you realize that their presence in your life is worth the whole roller coaster ride. As much as you want to deny it, there is only two extreme ends on the scale to rate it. It's either they do stay forever physically, or they leave. 

Either way, forever still applies. The only difference is they would be the person you wake up to every morning , or they would be taken as a picture stored in your memory at the back of your mind. 

In a lifetime, everyone is only granted a chance to make a decision which will end up changing their life forever. I never liked to play on the safe side , making things ordinary. I don't like to missed out opportunities with things that may happen. Even if it did not turn out as I expected , I'll have no regrets despite needing to pick up the broken pieces by myself and fix it all over again. It irks me to walk on a fragile line, taking every step carefully being afraid to fall. Thus, I will never want to put myself in a situation where there is no ends and be ignorant about things that is slowly arising.

I take chances because I seek for closures. I need a validation of what is going to happen because I'm too old for mind games. I want to keep things simple. I refuse to put myself into labyrinth and search for a way out. It'll be too exhausting and complicated. I can't handle it , and I also can't handle staying  in the same place wandering around having no aims. 

I need directions. I need validation. 

All of this involves a lot of courage ; and often, they only rise within me when the year comes to an end. I only emphasize them a little bit more on December. I just want an ending at the last chapter of the book. I don't like hanging onto it when I start a new book, needing me to battle within myself to pay attention on the previous - the past. 

So far, December always end up pretty badly - and I think that December is definitely not my month. Desperately , I wish something would change my thought of this before I start hating on December. 



Trying to plant in a little optimism in me, I believe that the next December will be beautiful. 
It may not be , but I will hold on to this belief. 




  goodnight.
