I can't believe March is coming to an end, a quarter of the year has passed. Here is a few things I enjoy the most this March:



New song of Ariana! I've been addicted to this song since the day it was released. It has catchy lyrics and melody that keeps playing inside my head.


This is a mini album consists of five songs sung by the top 35 girls from the survival show. I've been following the show and enjoying it. I really love these original songs made by famous producers with five different concepts. My favorite ones including these three songs below:




It's been a while since Lee Hi's latest song and I really love the concept of her new album 'Seoulite'. The song that caught my interest right away is 'Hold My Hand'. I just love everything about it, the music video is also extra cute.


Since I've been quite addicted to Austin & Ally lately, I was really curious when Laura Marano was going to release her own single. It turned out that I really enjoy this song! I just can't wait for the music video release on April.



Red Velvet is releasing new mini album with the 'Velvet' concept. Previously they released their first album with 'Red' concept, so I was excited for the follow up album. This mini album consists of ballad and slow songs, including the main song 'One Of These Nights'. The song is about two lovers who can only meet once a year, based on a folktale in South Korea. However there are theories that the music video shows how the song is actually about the Sewol tragedy. When I heard about the theories and re-watching the music video again, I got goosebumps, since it's a hauntingly beautiful tribute. More about the fan theories here.



New song by Fifth Harmony! I've been waiting for quite some time and it didn't let met down! Really enjoying this song, and always loving Camilla's unique voice.



I fell in love with Dove when I first watched and listened to Better in Stereo music video. Recently, she released a remake of Christina Aguilera's hit song, 'Genie in a Bottle'. In the music video she became Mal, her character in the movie 'Descendants'. I just love her a lot.



I know it's pretty late already, but I just listened to Troye's album 'Blue Neighbourhood' recently. I love the songs, especially 'Talk Me Down'. I've been listening to this one over and over again.




This palette has become my everything this month, because I've been into nude makeup so much. The price is affordable and the colors are pretty. Just love it.




I just love to watch Disney films and I really love this one. Zootopia is a place where all animals basically live together, whether it's predator or prey. When I watch this movie, I can't help to compare Zootopia with our world. There are still stereotypes and prejudices in Zootopia just like in ours. However, this film is teaching us that we can break through all that if we work hard enough. There are also some funny scenes that I enjoy a lot, like the sloth scene or the one where there are DVDs sold (not going to give any spoiler, lol).



This movie is hilarious! I laughed at almost every scene. It is very entertaining and once again you will see Po's journey to become a greater dragon warrior.



I was excited for the comeback of my favorite show! This time it's an adventure to the Underworld. There are a lot of new characters like Hades, Hercules, Meg, and even Hook's brother. I just can't wait for the final battle against Hades to get back to Storybrooke.



After I finished watching Austin & Ally, I found another Disney series that I haven't watched, Jessie. It's about a journey of a girl named Jessie, who's suddenly becoming a nanny for four amazing yet mischievous kids. I really enjoy watching it!





I always love this snack, and finally this month I was able to get a taste of it again. This snack isn't available in my country yet. So, the only time I can eat it is when I'm traveling abroad or my friends giving it to me after their journey abroad. I just couldn't stop eating it!



I finally get a chance to eat this chocolate and I love it so much! It has a cute easter egg shape with various colors. I wish I could get some of it in my country someday.



I thought my favorite Hershey's Kisses was cookies n cream, but apparently I love the almond one better! I already munched them all up, and I wish I could get some more.



Some people say this chitato tastes bad or just ordinary, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes I could get the taste of Indomie out of it, and I don't think it's as bad as what some people say about it. I think I love this one just as much as the other flavors of Chitato.


I bought this instant noodle when I was in Singapore and I love it! I bought the bigger package one with five instant noodles inside. The curry taste is really Singaporean, I can't really describe it well but it's different than the Indonesian or Japanese curry. It's also really spicy, which I like a lot. I'm sad that it's going to run out soon, but it's okay I can find it when I'm going abroad again in the future.



Recently, I tried out a new restaurant which is X.O Cafe & Bistro, and I fell in love with the spring roll (right of the picture). It filled with vegetables and noodles, and the side sauce was amazing. I really want to eat it again some time.



Another restaurant that I recently tried was X.O Cuisine. The food were amazing! I enjoyed them all very much. I especially enjoyed the pork and tofu that we ordered. However, it's quite a  pricey restaurant, so it's better to order few food for bunch of people, if you're on tight budget.




It's been quite a while since I used this app, and suddenly I just wanted to use it again. I really love the feature where you can sing together with the original singers. I sang a lot with Charlie Puth over his song 'One Call Away' since I still love that song a lot. It's a nice app to when you're just feeling like singing and record it.



I used to enjoy playing this a lot, then I stopped, but now I'm back again! Thanks to my boyfriend, I got competitive since he passed my level already. So, I want to catch up again. I really enjoy this game, because it feels like a puzzle to solve, and I love puzzle.







Recently, LINE Friends announced that there is a new character, which is Brown's little sister called Choco. I've been so into this new character lately. I found her really cute and I just can't wait for LINE to release her sticker collection, whether it's just her alone or with her big bro, Brown. I wish they will have that plan in the future.



That's all I love this month. See you next month! Enjoy the rest of March!

Still with the Singapore theme, I would like to recommend a few places to visit in Singapore based on my last few trips. I've been to Singapore for four times and these are my favorite places to go:

I always love to visit convenience stores and supermarkets when I travel abroad. It's just fun to find those products that you can't find in your home country. There are two convenience store and supermarket that I found in Singapore, which is Cold Storage and 7-Eleven. I just really love to wander for a long time inside these stores.

It's basically an island for a lot of fun! You can find a lot of varied attractions on the island (find out more here). One of the attractions that I visited is Universal Studio Singapore (USS). I spent one day at USS and still didn't get the chance to ride all the rides on the park. I had a really fun day at USS! For those people who don't really like to ride the scary rides, just like me, then there are less scary rides for you too, and you can always stroll inside the merchandise stores. The other attractions that I visited is S.E.A. Aquarium. It's a really nice aquarium with a maritime museum inside of it too. I really enjoyed watching the manta rays and the jelly fishes.

For each attractions in Sentosa Island you have to buy different ticket, however you still can wander around the island. I encountered a merlion statue, Lady Gaga wax figure in front of the Madame Tussauds, and there are also beaches. I don't think one day will be enough to discover this island, but don't worry because there are hotels inside this island too. So, if you don't really want to waste your time riding the Sentosa Express or walking through the Sentosa Boardwalk every single day, then it might be an option.

When you go to Orchard Street then it's shopping time! You can find a lot of shopping malls on this street. My favorite one is Ngee Ann City which some people will also call it Takashimaya. There is Kinokuniya Bookstore, and I also heard that the Watsons here has the most complete products. I also like to wander at ION, because it has a large Forever 21 store. You can also go to Lucky Plaza to find cheaper things.

When I visited the Marina Bay area, I usually started with Gardens by the Bay, then going inside the Marina Bay Sands building, which then will connect you to the shopping mall. At Garden by the Bays there are two different attractions that you can visit, but I never visit any of it, since I'm not a really big fan of botanical things. However, I did enjoy taking photos around the gardens area, because it has fascinating view. You can also see the Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Flyer from there. At the shopping mall, you can go out and find ArtScience Museum, other than that you can view Esplanade Building and Merlion Statue from afar.

There are two places I usually go when I'm at Bugis: Bugis Street and Bugis Junction. At Bugis Street you can find a lot of food and souvenirs with cheaper price, there are also a lot of clothes. However, you can't try the clothes on, since they have no changing rooms. Bugis Junction is basically a shopping mall, and I love to go to the Cold Storage there.

Here, you will find the iconic statue of Singapore, the Merlion. This statue has the water comes out of the mouth, and it's one of the top place to take a picture. There is also a small version of the statue at the park, I called it baby Merlion. You can view Esplanade Building more clearly from here.







River Safari is at the same area with Singapore Zoo and Night Safari. I really enjoyed my visit at River Safari. You can view a lot of river animals, also panda, and red panda. You can also have a boat ride, there are two kind of boat rides, and I chose the one where I could view more animals then just cruising along the river. If you go here, you will have few options of packages. You can have the options to visit between Singapore Zoo, River Safari, Night Safari, and Jurong Bird Park. I didn't visit Singapore Zoo, but I did visit Night Safari. It was quite an unique place, however my eyes hurt a lot, since it was so dark. It's also quite hard to take a photo there. So, I recommend River Safari more.

Another spot for shopping! You can find a lot of stuff for souvenirs here. The buildings here are so colorful and beautiful with Chinese lanterns all around. The food here is amazing too. More than that, you can also visit The Tintin Shop and Sri Mariamman Temple in here.

Since I like to experience culture, it's a fun thing for me to visit places like Chinatown and Little India. At Little India you can also find a lot of colorful buildings and experience the culture of India. I really enjoy visiting Mustafa Centre in here, since it has a lot stuff I can bring as souvenirs, and the price is quite cheap.

I visited this place around 10 years ago. However, I remember how much I enjoyed seeing variety of birds in  here. I wish I will be able to visit it again in the future. Jurong Bird Park is located in a different area with Singapore Zoo, River Safari, and Night Safari. So, if you buy a package to visit those places and this bird park, then you have to ride another MRT or Bus to reach it.


Those are a few places I enjoyed visiting in Singapore. If you have some suggestions, you might leave your thoughts or link on the comment box below. Hope it will give you some references. Have a nice day!
