Bliss Cat-Cafe ♥

It was quite a hectic day. Finished my violin class around 12.15pm, then immediately went for lunch until 12.45pm and got a cab to go to my ear training tuition class which was supposed to be 1pm.

Had a funny encounter when I was getting a cab.
I jumped into the first cab I saw, and I said, "Mr driver, pls take me to xxx road."
He started to mumble to himself, "Xxx road... Xxx road... Xxx road... Xxx road."
I stared at him, and he looked at me apologetically.
"Sorry miss, I just been a driver for a couple of weeks, I dunno where's that road... Sorry, uhm.. do you know the way?
I said, "Nope, it's my first time going there."
The driver smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm really sorry miss, I dunno the way, can you switch to another cab?"

LOL. Okay fine. I thanked him and alighted.
There were a long row of taxis behind, much to my delight.
So I jumped into the 2nd cab, and told him to get me to the place.
"The driver in front doesn't know how to go, so Mr driver, do you know how to go to Xxx road?"

I wondered if the ignorance about the road was contagious.
The 2nd driver mumbled again. "Xxx road... Hmm..."
And he took out a map from underneath his seat.
He looked up at me and said, "Sorry miss, I dunno how to go too."

I was like, "So my teacher lives in an alienated place or what?"
I got out again and jumped into the 3rd taxi.
Finally, this driver knew the way. PHEW~~~~
I was totally short of time. :DDDD

Reached the tuition venue around 1.08pm.
I thought I was late, but evidently, my teacher was later.
He arrived around 1.40pm.
I waited for him for 30 minutes... T.T
I enjoyed the class though, coz I learned a lot. I really love learning stuff. No idea why. XD





:+: Enough crappings about classes. :+:






Got back hostel about 3.15pm.
Went out high-tea with Jiun Hui and Tar at Nobelesse, a Hong Kong restaurant.
We ate dim sum, noodles and rice.
It was super yummy, perfect environment and reasonable prices.
Okay maybe slightly expensive, but once in a blue moon, so it should be fine. XD


Remember Xing Zhu wanted to meet up with me to take a look at my new hairstyle?
We met up after I finished my high-tea and went walking idly around, window shopping.
Finally, she wanted to find a place to sit down and drink something.

"Let's go to the new cafe over there!" I suggested.
I had been really curious about that cafe, it looked very special outside, and I had been dying to go there for a long time.
So it was a completely awesome opportunity.

A woman opened the door for us, and she handed us 2 home-slippers. :D
So you can't wear your shoes in.
It was so special, I took an instant liking to the cafe.

And the more I explored, the more I loved it.
See the pictures peeps.




There were some super cute cat stufftoys put on the chair/benches as decorations. :D












A simple flower on every table. :)













Beautiful lamps!












And the major attraction???
The cats and kittens!!!
The name of the cafe is Bliss Cat-Cafe.
The owner is a Japanese lady. ^^
She's so polite and gentle. :)












The cafe owner, Kumiko, told us that she found the kittens outside the cafe last month.
Someone deserted them and they were weak and hungry.
So she became the kitty saviour. :)
An admirable lady, indeed.













We played with the kittens!










A slightly grown cat. :DD
There were altogether 4 big cats, and 3 kittens. :D











Another silly and adorable stufftoy.
Notice the flower on the table.
I love the simpleness of it. :D












Another kitten. This one was really funny, it was so sleepy all the time and it wouldn't bulge from its place. XD














Xing Zhu ordered a salad. XDDD












And I got a scoop of vanilla ice cream. :D
I was still really full that time.






Overall comment on the food.
It was really delicate and exquisitely prepared.
Salad was delightful and vanilla ice cream was.... well, just vanilla ice cream? XD
I need to taste the main courses first before I can really comment on the taste.
So maybe next time. XDD






A picture at the entrance before leaving.
Btw that's the name of the cafe in Chinese. O.o
Totally different. Hmm..



Owh yea, Kumiko gave us the info card of the cafe.
It was soooo special! :DDDD
Each one was different, and it formed a set of Tarot cards!
The special thing was all the images on the cards consisted of cats. :D
I got "Judgement" while Xing Zhu got "Emperor". ^^





If you notice, the cafe got a website of its own too!!!!
If you are interested, click Bliss Cat-Cafe to check it out! :DDD
It'll be better if you know how to read Japanese. :DDDD
I think I'll bring my friends there next time!
I love the cosiness of it. :DDD
Ciao~~
