Lola's Cafe / Through the darkest clouds, the stars will shine.

"Family means nobody gets left behind."

Finally updating my space properly again.
Stay over with Tiantian @ her hall in nus. Growing up we were always quite close, but now that we're adults (sorta) family really is such an important thing. And I'm just glad I have cousins like her to keep me grounded and together through almost everything really. Maybe it's weird to others, but both sides of my families are rather close knitted, something that I tend to forget doesn't come easy. It's something to be treasured, to be thankful for.

I've been busy these few months chasing the things that I think I need, things that I want. Focusing on the things I didn't achieve and people I've lost. Yeah, it's grief, so that's normal behavior I guess. Yet through these past almost 5 months, the unexpected friends and family who've stood by me through all that stuff and more (even when they knew nothing) really surprised and touched me. They've taught me that even when the darkest clouds are in the sky, somewhere up there, the stars still shine; watching over you.

Lola's Cafe
Iced Chocolate. Lemon Meringue Tart. Seasalt Chocolate Tart with Coffee Cream

Rainy day as I caught up with a friend today at Lola's.

Really like their Lemon Meringue Tart simply cause I've always been a fan of sweet+sour combi of anything really. It's quite diabetes, but cause I don't really take sweet stuff anymore so maybe it's acceptable for others. I do love the zesty lemony refreshing taste of it though. Light flavors and a pang for your taste buds :)
The Seasalt Choco Tart's rather heavy in texture cause of the dark choco base. I do like the coffee cream lightly sprinkled with seasalt that balances out the flavor of the entire tart. While my friend loved it, I'm not so much a fan of desserts that are too chocolatety. I would recommend this to anyone whose a dark chocolate lover though!

Today showed me that some friendships come back to you if you put in the effort, and that some friends can simply fit back into your life even if things got complicated along the way. It takes a lot of patience, time away from each other and much courage to correct the mentality we have towards each other. Eventually though, the friendships that are meant to be will be. Glad to have you back, my friend.
