DEEP TALK : QNA (Bye 2023)


Random 2023 QNA before entering the new year~

Warning: Not trying to trigger anyone but this is just my current opinion on these viral questions that have been mingling around social media on 'serious-questions-for-your-partner'. HAHA

Career - Depending on the current economy, I would be so glad if my spouse gave me full support for whatever I wish to do in the future.

Religion - Religion always be a base in my marriage. Any problems that may occur along the journey should be referred back to Islamic ways.

Finance -  I don't believe in the 50/50 rule but every financial should be transparent so we can solve it together. My spouse needs to take care of the bills and I will minimize the unnecessary things.

Dream home - since I already purchased my first house, the idea of a dream house was kind of skeptical. Anything that brings comfort and happiness in a home is a dream to us. Anyway, I love Muji's concept and Scandinavian style for the next house. Minimalist to the core, own less and do more.

Political views - My parent said I would be a great political analyst in every election phase. I'm not biased toward any party and my critical thinking is quite good to be a strategic planner. HAHA. Currently, I'm volunteering to be involved in a Middle East War case as a War-Planning Analyst. phew~ Not to be biased but please educate your mind before spitting out nonsense.

Parenting style -  At first I wanted to be a cool mum like a Westerner to my kids but. As I grew older I saw so many pros and cons so maybe I can be a strict mum and my husband may be a cool dad. Asian-Islamic parenting style? HAHA

Support system - Being single at the age of 27 and living alone in another state made me realize I don't need any attachment to anything. But I'm totally wrong, I need someone to listen and comfort my anxiety. Someone who can be a support system in my peace era.

Family influence - I could say we always set a limit to the boundaries even though we share everything. Never spread any negativity among others and be considerate to the family members.

Childhood traumas - My trauma? Insecurities about being tan skin. 

Family health history - allergies (Unknown)

S*xual expectation - Surprise meh

Partner expectation - have common sense, work hard, leadership, loving and helpful.

Belief to be introduced to my kids - Moral values, humbleness, gratitude, and gentleness.


2024 here I come~ Hasbunallah wanikmal waqil


with love,

MY 2CENTS - TOP 10 FAV COFFEE




Hai semua, apa khabar? Harap sihat selalu bersama orang terchenta. 

In this post, I'm going to review a few coffee cafes that I had an opportunity to try. Each one of them has its own signature drinks and I just ordered based on their bestseller. Before this I preferred milk tea rather than coffee but after I tried their signature coffee. Wuu is not that bad. But it's too early for me to claim that I'm a coffee lover tho. Pls take note most of them are located in Terengganu.HAHA


 1. JIWA Coffee - The most famous cafe in Kuala Terengganu. They have varieties of coffee and food. I went to Jiwa during last year's CNY holiday with my bestie. Super cool place to hang out with your friends. I prefer caramel creme frap whenever I go to a coffee shop but this time the drink was quite too sweet for me. 6/10


2. XOFI Cafe. 

If you guys are food hunters this might be one of the cafes you guys should reach out to.  I ordered an iced latte for the first time (5/10) and meh because Jajat asked me to try. She has been a coffee lover since forever. Overrated. But oh goodness their pastries are so good and cute 100/10.



3. CHOC-A-CAKE Cafe.  

I went last Nov before the GE, this cafe went viral due to the location being near the beach. Ngopi sambil menikmati angin sempoi-sempoi bahasa~ And guess what the place is so underated. Jajat said the cafe belonged to her cousins. They served a lot of cakes and pastries. I tried their signature latte (8/10) and choc moist cake. 10000/10. Definitely will come again soon. I wish I could bring my mom and Mr. Puzzle too.



6. FM Greentea Latte Coffee

Last December Sam and I went to picnic at Batu Layar. On the way back home we went to Family Mart to get some refreshments and I decided to try their infamous latte. Of course, I picked the Macha green tea latte and it was too good guys! (9/10) The price was so cheap compared to other cafes and the packaging was also cute.




5. GIGI Coffee. Their buttercream latte went viral early this year. Tbh I hadn't heard of this brand before and I thought they only had franchises in the KL area. For amateur coffee drinkers like me, I kind of love this. It tastes sweet and creamy also the caffeine is not too strong.HAHA (7/10)



6. ZUS Coffee - My colleague was the one who suggested I install ZUS app and she asked me to use her code so I could enjoy a ZUS free voucher for every purchase. At that time, they just launched a new handcrafted drink which was a buttercream series. I bought a buttercream latte 3x in a row guys! The most affordable Buttercream Latte (9/10) y'all. It tastes super creamy and not too sweet. 




7. Miafin Coffee - Dah lama nak try this new cafe around Kota Masai tapi tak ada geng yang suka kopi. Yihh sejak bila yayadoe suka berteman. So last month I decided to ask my colleagues untuk lunch dekat sana and they said yes. Finally! I ordered an Asian Dolce latte with add-on whipped cream. It tastes like a classic latte, ummm soft and sweet with light espresso roast. (7/10)

                                              
                                              


8. Nasken Coffee - Roasted hazelnut latte

Been eyeing this cafe quite a while, kalau pergi KTCC mall mesti nampak Nasken Coffee dulu sebelum kedai lain. vibes starbies sangat. luls. Nothing fancy, I only grab a hazelnut roasted latte since their Spanish latte sold out. HUHU 5/10. 





9. Mc Cafe's Latte

Almost forgot to renew my license this year. HUHU Nasib baik UTC dekat dengan rumah and less than 1 hour sudah settle. On the way back to the office I went to McD bcos I missed their mcmuffin and iced latte. *redeem promo 50% off* feeling extra wiser girls. Of course, I bought them before the Boycott Isr*al thingy. No worries




10. Cafe Amazon Coffee - Greentea latte

 

Lastly, Amazon Cafe! Everyone said your itinerary list wouldn't be complete without this cafe. One of the most famous cafes in Thailand. They have so many chains around  Thailand and I got my Greentea latte at Songkla during Nov trip this year. 10/10 for the drinks and 100000/10 for the Songkla Beach view.

My top picks...hmmmm I guess Zus & Amazon Coffee! My least favorite would be Xofi~ 


with love,

yayadoe
