My dream come true.. Karimun Jawa. 🌴

Pulau yang indah di kelilingi pantai yang cantik bikin betah healing disini.

Karimun Jawa, 18 - 20 Agustus 2023.

Sekali seumur hidup harus banget ke pulau ini. Aku saranin kalau mau ke pulau ini, bener bener siapin fisik sehat kalian ya. Karena perjalanan ke pulau ini cukup jauh dan dengan fisik yang sehat kalian jadi bisa nikmatin perjalanan liburan kalian dengan sangat menyenangkan. Di awali dengan perjalanan laut dengan kapal yang cukup bikin pusing, apalagi kalau kalian mabok laut. Waktu itu aku pakai kapal express bahari yang jarak tempuh nya sekitar 2,5 jam. Buat aku, perjalanan dengan kapal express bahari ini bikin aku pusing banget karena rasanya tuh "wow". Naik kapal serasa lagi naik wahana karena terombang ambing ombak. Seru sih. Tapi kayaknya kalo aku sekali aja ya. Trauma banget. Sampai disana langsung disuguhi dengan pemandangan cantik air lautnya yang super bening dan bagus banget warnanya. Selama disana aku bermalam di Java Paradise Resort yang letaknya ga jauh dari pelabuhan. Tempat wisata di karimun Jawa letaknya lumayan jauh jadi harus menggunakan transportasi motor / mobil. Rute jalanannya pun lumayan ekstrim yaa menurutku, karena jalurnya naik turun yang cukup tajam. Selama disana kalian akan nikmatin banyak masakan aneka seafood yang enak enak. Tempat wisata disana banyak banget spot yang instagramable, tapi sayang buat sekedar foto itu harus antri dan waktu nya cuma sebentar karena harus gantian sama yang lain. Pantai disana udah ga usah di ragukan lagi gimana cantik nya. Pokoknya the best banget lah, betah banget berlama lama dan berjemur di pantai yang air nya super bening dan warna nya cantik banget. Buat yang hobi snorkling, ini juga tempat yang bagus banget, karang dan ikan nya cantik cantik banget. Pecinta pantai kayak aku, wajib banget ke Karimun Jawa. Satu lagi tips dari aku kalau mau kesini pilih bulan yang emang belum masuk musim hujan atau berangin. Karena pengalaman aku kemarin pas kesana, pas banget musim angin yang kencang. Jadi selama perjalanan laut, suasana anginnya kencang banget dan ombak nya lumayan besar. Kalau sudah begini, pastiin perut kalian jangan kosong, supaya ga masuk angin.

Sekian cerita liburan seru aku.

sushi koi, pavilion bukit jalil.

decided to try this japanese restaurant because there's lots of good reviews, and the restaurant was almost full too, really a popular option in this huge shopping mall. the menu and ordering system is via QR code that the staff will provide when you are seated.

we ordered the temari sushi, soft shell crab don and gyuniku soba noodles for two people. the food takes some time to arrive but the green tea is enjoyable, so if you are not too hungry, the wait is quite alright.

temari sushi is good, served in bite size and each fish is very fresh and the cut is quite thick as well, i definitely enjoyed them all. soft shell crab don is really really nice, the crab is fried to perfection, the softness inside is still intact and it smells amazing and so appetizing. soba noodles is a comfort dish, the meat slices are soft and tender, soup is really warm and flavorful.

our dining experience overall is great, they refill our green tea when requested, the staff is also tentative and the food presentation is nice, would visit again to try the other stuff in their menu since there's so many things available.

While bringing mum around Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre to let her survey the stalls, I chanced upon Muffin Homme. Operated by a husband-and-wife team, they sell healthier muffin offerings with no artificial colouring or preservatives and are made with a low-sugar formula mixed with natural yogurt.

Attracted by the lovely aroma of the freshly baked goodies, I bought half a dozen Assorted Muffins (S$12.50) consisting of two each of Oreo Muffin (奥利奥) and Double Chocolate (双巧克力) with one each of Blueberry Streusel (蓝莓香酥) and Apple Crumble (苹果香酥). I asked the lady boss how many flavours they have, and she told me more than 10. In the morning, they will go through all the flavours and in afternoon, only the best sellers are made. I love the moist muffin without being overly sweet. And before I forget, any thing less than six pieces will cost S$2.30 each so most customers just choose to buy a box of 6s and you can mix and match with egg tarts too.

hey this is so random but im visiting kl for a few days with friends do u have any recommendations for cool art places, museums, mamak stalls !! (nw if u dont or dont want to, have a great day boss)

- national textiles museum in the city centre has my heart, but muzium negara is also lovely

- nasi kandar rasmeena on jalan bangsar is excellent mamak, seriously so good

- laksa kg baru on jalan raja alang in chow kit is 🙏🏽 dayang sarawak corner on jalan suasa in sungai besi is also excellent

- feeka coffee in bukit bintang is great if you want a nice sit down place with food. marmalade in bangsar village 2 is lovely for brunch but expensive. for coffee chains i like coffee bean and tea leaf & old town coffee (the latter is malaysian-owned)

- for art galleries: galeri prima, ur-mu, wei-ling, ilham, and arthouse gallery museum are all nice to visit, check what they have on when you're coming

- if you like art supplies, art friend in the gardens mall at midvalley is the best art supply shop i've found in kl so far.

- typo at pavilion klcc is a great stationery shop, they have other storefronts elsewhere too

- czip+ by cziplee on jalan telawi 3 is also an awesome art supply and stationery shop, they have another location in bangsar village 2 they opened recently but the one on jalan telawi 3 is bigger

- kinokuniya at pavilion klcc is a massive 2 storey bookstore, books in many languages (english, japanese, and local ones), tons of stationery as well as manga and comics. the manga and comics section alone is bigger than some bookstores i've been in. you could spend all day walking around in here

- for night markets, petaling street is the obvious one but if you want one that's less touristy check out the pudu glutton street night market or the one in chow kit kampung baru. lots of awesome food but less tourists n souvenir shops

Legend VS LMK Characters:

Kui Mulang (LMK):

[Kaui Mulang, Guard of the Celestial Court, Mansion of the White Tiger, Devourer of Earthly Souls]

Korean: Gyumokrang Mandarin: The Wood Wolf of Legs

Former Celestial Guard turned Yellow-Robed Demon.

After Falling in Love with Jade Maiden and having their love rejected by the Celestial Realm. He gave up their immortality and he awaited for her to reincarnate. As he waits to make sure he will be there to see her he consumes mortal lives to longavit his own.

The 28 Mansions mentioned by him are part of the Chinese constellation system as to why there is so much star imagery is in his castle.

Kui Mulang (Ledgend):

Kui Mulang originated from the ancient Chinese worship of the constellations, a spiritual practice that combines Chinese mythology and astronomy. He is considered to be one of the 28 Mansions, which are Chinese constellations. These are the same as those studied in Western astrology. He appears in Chinese mythology literate notably the JTTW & Fengshen Yanyi.

He is linked to a historical figure called Ma Wu, a general who hailed from the town of Huyang in Tanghe, located in the Henan province.

Kui Mulang is associated with the constellation Andromeda, which appears in the sky in the middle of November. In this constellation is Kui Xiu, described as the "four-legged fish palace" of Heshansu (和善宿) because its shape is similar to a fish. Another constellation, the White Tiger, is also associated with this cluster of stars.

According to the novel Investiture of the Gods (Fengshen Yanyi), Kui Mulang was originally named Li Xiong. After he died in the Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals, Jiang Ziya deified him as the Wood Wolf of Legs, one of the twenty-eight stars.

In JTTW

Kui Mulang appears as a demon named Yellow Robe Demon . He lives the Moon Waves Cave on Bowl Mountain in the Kingdom of Baoxiang. In his past, the Yellow Robe Demon falls in love with the Jade Maiden in Heaven and decides to elope with her. He becomes a demon lord and the maiden is reincarnated from a goddess to a human who is named Baihuaxiu . She is the third princess of the Kingdom of Baoxiang. The demon then kidnaps the princess, though she has no memory of her existence as a Jade Maiden. He marries her and the couple has two children. Sun Wukong manages to defeat the demon, which mysteriously vanishes after his defeat. Wukong then seeks help from Heaven to track down the demon and learn his true identity. The Jade Emperor discovers that one of the 28 Mansions is missing, so he orders the remaining 27 to subdue the demon. The demon is revealed to be a disguised as Revatī, the Wood Wolf of Legs, a star deity in the heavenly court, and one of the 28 Mansions. The Wood Wolf is then subdued and brought back to Heaven. As punishment, he is ordered to become a furnace keeper under Taishang Laojun.

Jade Maiden:

Considering she is a huge part of Kui Mulang's life I thought maybe also some info about her as well.

[ Yunü / Jade Girl or Jade Maiden]

Yunü is a common designation for a beautiful woman or, in Daoism, for a fairy or immortal

A Taoist deity or goddess in Chinese mythology and Chinese traditional religion who, along with her male counterpart Jintong (Golden Boy), are favored servants of the Jade Emperor and Zhenwudadi. 

They are also believed to serve as guides in the underworld and the protectors of houses and temples. Some of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl pair could be found on some graves at Bukit Brown Cemetery as they are believed to serve as guides in the Spirit World or the Underworld.

During the spring festival, pictures featuring the two can be found on the doors of many households.

This couple helps virtuous souls over a golden bridge to paradise and helps souls whose good deeds outweighed the bad, over a silver bridge to paradise. Therefore by erecting the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden by the grave of the deceased, living family members hope that the deceased will not venture into the courts of hell but instead lead their afterlife in paradise. Yunü and Jintong have appeared in several stories since the Song and Yuan dynasties and have become important figures in Chinese mythology.

There are several mountain peaks bearing her name.

In Journey to the West, Yunü is a servant maid of the Jade Emperor in Heaven. She falls in love with a star god called Kui Mulang and decides to elope with him. However, she doesn't want to ruin Heaven's pureness, so she decides to reincarnate as a human. She enters the human world as Baihuaxiu, the third princess of the Kingdom of Baoxiang.

In Other Literature:

Specific examples are the southern opera version of the legend, Jintong and Yunü, In this context, Yunü is called Longnü and Jintong is called Shancai Tongzi. According to the Shenyijing, Yunü and her companions loved to play touhu, a Chinese game in which arrows or darts are thrown into a vase. In the Avatamsaka Sutra, she and Jintong seek enlightenment and are acolytes of Guan Yin. In this context, Yunü is called Longnü and Jintong is called Shancai Tongzi. Some folktales say that Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua were originally the Golden Boy and Jade Girl. The Jade Emperor was furious with them and wanted to punish them for breaking the celestial utensils. Fortunately, the Old Man of the South Pole begged for their mercy and was demoted to the mortal world. In the Hanyi ji play, the protagonists Qi Liang and Meng Jiang are reincarnations of Jintong and Yunü. In most popular versions of The Butterfly Lovers, the protagonists Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are human reincarnations of Jintong and Yunü who are expelled from Heaven Court by Guanyin or the Jade Emperor for their sin and forced to live as a thwarted couple for three or seven generations before being reunited and restored to their original status.

Thoughts:

Yunü has a lot of love and being kicked/leaving heaven tales.

But did love she was more than just known for this story alone.

The JTTW and LMK versions of Kui Mulang are not too different. However, in the retelling of their love tale he only mentioned himself ridding them of their immortality it almost sounded like in that tale she might have had second thoughts and he did it by force. But I hope not but we can never know because the LMK changed a lot of the characters and tweaked some backstories.

I think the real change in the LMK is that Kui Mulang captured Ao Lie before the JTTW. From the way he talked about the Jade Maiden, she had not been reincarnated or at least he had not captured her yet. For Ao Lie It had to be after his banishment of course because he talked about his powers causing damage he felt bad for aka when he burned his dad's stuff.

Well, I hope you, readers enjoyed:)

So, my cat has sensory issues. Specifically, she really dislikes lying or sleeping on soft surfaces like cushions, mattresses, and thick blankets. She's most comfortable on hard surfaces, like the top of a dresser or my computer desk, or in a window bed, with some attachment to basket-type beds that don't hold heat.

She's very loving and affectionate, but her discomfort with most furniture makes it difficult for her to cuddle and sleep near me. She also loves watching me play games on my tablet. I've been sick a lot lately, and she's been acting very clingy, so I improvised...

The Bukit. Aka a small, translucent Rubbermaid bin (used for storage, not garbage).

She's not getting too hot, and loves to judge my moves in our game. She's also figured out she can bite and scratch at my fingers through the plastic without hurting me, so she's even more playful than usual in her 🪣

We both like watching sparkly things. Her favorite color is blue. She likes sapphires best. She's quietly purring here and trying to help catch a wild tanzanite.

Never imagined myself bonding with her over a bucket, but she's been happy all day.

I'll tell you a secret

Dua kali jatuh hati ama cowo bukan karna latar belakang, status ekonomi, umur ato fisik nya

Tapi karna personality nya

Yaampun aku mau nangis dengan Lika liku kehidupan asmara ini

Aku ini orang yg polos dan ga pernah pacaran, ga paham cinta cinta an

Tapi 2 tahun terakhir ini aku patah hati yg efeknya sangat sangat mendalam dalam diriku

Tahun lalu aku suka ama seseorang yang lebih tua dariku, perbedaan usia bisa lebih dari 10 tahun. Dia udah kayak om aku dan aku panggil pak. PNS dan dia udah nikah.

Aku tau banget salah, tapi rasa suka ga bisa diboongin, dan dia mungkin merasakan nya secara tersirat jadi berusaha menjauhi aku.

Bodohnya aku ampe mikir, kayak aku mau nih jadi istri kedua

Orang orang mungkin akan bingung lulusan S2 kayak aku kenapa suka ama yg ga cocok ini.

Tapi ya dia baik dan diandalkan semua orang di kantor, aku salah satu yang terbantu juga. Dan mungkin karna ga ada yg seusia aku disana rata rata udah pada tua dan nikah, trus aku ga banyak kenalan. Jadilah begitu

Intinya walaupun orangnya gendut, item, tua, anaknya 1 tapi karna aku nyaman ngobrol ama dia, aku jadi suka. Aku ga mikirin yang lain. Tapi paham bener kalo ortu aku pasti ga setuju. Tapi ya ini lah sebenarnya cinta bertepuk sebelah tangan. Aku sendirian yang kagum dan suka. Dan berjalan selama berbulan bulan dan sulit sekali move on nya

Tahun ini pindah kabupaten, jadi ga sekantor ama dia lagi. Tapi aku dipertemukan dengan patah hati kedua ku.

Cowo ini menggantikan ku di tempat yg lama, pegawai baru yg menggantikanku.

Dari dia aku belajar istilah love bombing, situasionship, hts

Well awal awal dia mungkin mengenal aku sebagai sosok yg hebat kali ya tapi semakin mengenal aku dia jadi paham klo aku rapuh

Dia ngedekatin aku, aku merasa nya gitu sih, kita sempet jalan bareng bbq an, malam malam ke expo, trus ke wisata bukit, gandengan tangan, dia bayarin aku

Ah gila sih, aku jujur ga pernah di treat se sweet itu, dia excited cerita ke aku, aku menjadi bodoh, aku menjadi terlalu vulnerable, aku terlalu attach ampe dia risih lalu sekarang kita asing

Latar belakang kita beda, dia dari keluarga ekonomi rendah, dan broken home, cuma dia bisa ngelewatin nya dan itu keren banget

Kalo aku ini mungkin terlihat dari keluarga yang ortu utuh dan ekonomi cukup Alhamdulillah

Dia lebih muda setahun dari aku

Tinggi, ceking dan item

Aku suka dia karna bagaimana dia nge treat aku, dan aku juga nyaman ngobrol ama dia. Setelah beberapa lama kita kenal ternyata dia risih ama aku. Memang sih aku jadi terlalu nyaman dan gampang ngeluh

Sulit sekali hubungan kita ga kemana mana. Aku menyebutnya hts yang berakhir. Ternyata dia cuma penasaran aja. Kita sepertinya sama sama gila menghadapi situasi pekerjaan kita.

Dia dengan mudah melupakanku dan sekarang udah deket ama yang lain

Sedang aku patah hati dan sulit banget move on

Ampe sekarang apalagi aku kesepian banget

Well, begitulah cerita ku menyukai orang tanpa mandang hal lain, selain personality nya. Pokoknya kalo udah suka, udah nyaman enak ngobrolnya, entah bagaimana pun, umur, fisik, ekonomi, pekerjaannya, lulusan apapun, aku tetep suka

Semoga yaallah aku bisa bener bener nikah ama orang yang suka ama aku, bisa nerima aku, yang ketika mengenal aku lebih dalam dia ga kabur. Yang bisa bimbing aku, yang di ridhoi ortu ku, yang realistis.

Aku jujur pengen banget punya temen hidup

Seseorang yang kita bisa saling support dan menemani hari hari sepi ini, yang kalo kita bersama jadi ladang pahala, bertukar pikiran yg kebanyakan orang anggap aku overthinking ini. Yang dengan bersamanya hidup jadi lebih bermakna. Yang bisa handle aku dan semoga aku juga jadi orang yang bisa handle siapapun calon suamiku ini.

Jujur aku bahkan ga tau pada akhirnya aku akan menikah atau tidak

Yap kehidupanku walau aku 26 tahun, dari segi karir, asmara dan keuangan, semua belum jelas dan aku berada di fase yg sangat sulit dan identity crisis bgt

Begitulah kehidupan asmara ku sampe sekarang. Semoga aku segera dipertemukan dengan jodohku. Aamiin

                                  MY LIFE BEFORE ENTERING COLLEGE

WEEKLY JOURNAL #1 MAY, 30TH, 12 AM

On this day, I planned to start working back in JD Sports in Pavilion Bukit Bintang to earn some savings before entering college because I used to resign before this. The reason why I want to find some savings is because I know it’s going to be hard to survive in college as a student. I was a little bit nervous since it has been a long time I didn’t work since I resigned. I woke up at 10 am to get ready and to avoid lateness because my shift on the first day was from 1 pm to 10 pm. Plus, I go to work by public transportation, which is by train, so I have to go early to avoid the crowds. I’m not too fond of crowds. At 12:45 pm I reached my workplace, I was close with my colleagues in JD Sports and some of them were surprised to see that I was back including my manager. It was on a weekend, and there were a lot of people that came into the stores and still, it gets awkward for me to serve those customers. When the clock hit 4 pm, it was my time to go for a break with some of my colleagues who were on the same shift as me. We went to a restaurant and had lunch as usual. Time passed till 10 pm so it was the time for me to return. At the same, I went back home by train and my dad picked me up at the nearest MRT station. It was a tiring day but I had a great time working back once again. That’s it for today.

Sincerely,

NUR IMAN NATASHA

WEEKLY JOURNAL #2 JUNE, 6TH, 12 AM, 12:42 AM

My mom planned to go to the Gadget store with me to find my laptop since I will start college soon. Both of us left the house after Zuhur which was at 2:30 pm, we hopped into the car and headed to the Gadget store. Before searching for my laptop, my mom and I went to grab some food at A&W near Berjaya Times Square, my mom had their delicious burger and I ate 2 pieces of their spicy chicken. Oh, the way I love spending time with my mom, “you’re the only daughter so I would tell you everything, I have no one to talk to if you start your studies” she always says which makes me sad every time. I do have a heavy heart about leaving soon. When walking around, I found a suitable laptop for me to use for my studies and I bought it. All big thanks to my parents. The clock hit 7 pm when I and my mom went to the Miniso store just for window shopping. We found so many cute items such as Barbie merchandise, soft toys, and many more. I wanted to buy some accessories but I thought it was just a waste of money plus, my mom bought a car toy for my little brother. It’s almost 9 pm, before we went back home I went to Llaollao an ice cream store, and I treated my mom to a delicious ice cream she loves yogurt ice cream. After everything we headed back home safely. This is going to be the last time I spend my time with her before entering college since I won’t be spending like this again due to my busy life.

Sincere,

NUR IMAN NATASHA

WEEKLY JOURNAL #3, JULY, 12TH , 2 AM

I hate the feeling of being heavy-hearted cause it is an unusual feeling that I used to feel, I wish I could control my feelings. I woke up at 10 am enjoying my lovely mom’s scrumptious breakfast, she cooked fried rice with fried chicken and she served the food with a hot tea. While eating, I felt a Globus sensation in my throat it’s like muscle tension, guess what !! I’m about to cry because of the thoughts of leaving my family behind for study purposes. I tried to control it or I would get caught by my family because my dad, grandma, and my siblings were at one table. Why I am afraid of getting caught because I am a person who finds it hard to cry and hates to show feelings. Time passed 3 pm, and I started to pack all of my belongings for college tomorrow. I kept on feeling doubt about continuing my studies because I used to work everyday and company my mom at home, helping her to do the chores. I can’t sleep. I’m going to miss them and might get homesick, just hoping everything will be good.

Sincere,

NUR IMAN NATASHA

Weekly Journal Entry #2

Happiest Memories In My Semester 1

This semester has been full of incredible experiences that I’ll never forget. It feels like I’ve done so much in such a short time and I’m grateful for every moment.

One of the highlights was going to karaoke with my friends. Singing our hearts out, laughing at our off-key notes, and just letting go made those nights so fun and freeing. It’s crazy how something as simple as karaoke can bring so much joy and create such strong bonds with people.

Another memorable moment was visiting Bukit Bintang with the same group of friends. I showed them the fun places in Bukit Bintang since I lived in KL. We explored, took photos, and just soaked in the energy. I loved every second of it, especially because I’m with my favorite people.

Exploring Bangi was another adventure. Walking around, discovering new spots, and just enjoying the time with friends made it feel like a mini getaway. I felt like seeing things from a whole new perspective, even if it was just a different part of town.

Looking back, these experiences have made this semester unforgettable. They’re not just fun memories but moments that shaped my friendships, my perspective, and even my sense of adventures . I can’t wait to see what next semester brings.

EXPLORING HIDDEN GEMS

Weekly Journal Entry #1

Hello! Today, I embarked on a mini adventure to uncover some hidden gems in my town, and it turned out to be a wonderfully refreshing experience.

First, I started my day at a place called ‘Kebun Kebun Bangsar.’ As stated in the name, it was located in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. Kebun Kebun Bangsar is a pet-friendly vegetable farm. It’s the perfect escapade to reconnect with nature and away from hustle and bustle of Bangsar. Aside from the green nature, there was something far more exciting. Animals!! I saw many animals there such as sheep, duck, geese, peacock and so much more! I couldn’t resist to touch them as they were very cute and surprisingly friendly. I also took a short hike up the hill that took me to a covered shed where mushrooms are grown. I absolutely enjoyed the panoramic views here.

After spending most of my time there, my stomach rumbled which definitely a sign for me to eat. I stumbled upon a place called ‘Rimba Ampang’ which is a food court located in Bukit Antarabangsa. There were so many vendors that offered different types of food. I ended up ordering Mexican food from PoBoys Amigos. I got myself a spicy classic Mac & Cheese. I utterly in love with it. It was so delicious.

Today reminded me that sometimes the best experiences are found in the most unexpected places. I can’t wait to see where my next adventure takes me. There are surely more hidden gems waiting to be uncovered!

Until next time!

[legend-collection]

Wewe Gombel is a female supernatural being or vengeful ghost in Javanese mythology. It is said that she kidnaps children.

This myth is taught to encourage children to be cautious and to stay at home at night. Traditionally, the Wewe Gombel is represented as a woman with long, hanging breasts. Modern representations include vampire-like fangs. This is a popular spirit that also appears in comics.

The ghost was named Wewe Gombel because it is related to an event that, according to ancient folklore, happened in Bukit Gombel, Semarang, where long ago a married couple lived. They had been married for years, but as time went by the husband realized that his wife was barren and stopped loving her. The husband became wayward, neglecting his wife and leaving her alone for long periods so she lived in sorrow. One day, she followed him and caught him in a sexual relationship with another woman. Hurt by her husband's betrayal she became furious and killed him. Faced with the crime, angry neighbors gathered in a mob and chased her from the village. Despairing at the ostracization and continual harassment, she committed suicide.

After death, her vengeful spirit became Wewe Gombel. Sundanese folklore says that she dwells in the crown of the Arenga pinnata palm, where she has her nest and keeps the children she catches. She does not harm them and once they are under her clutches they are not afraid of her.

Local traditions say that the children she abducts have been mistreated or neglected by their parents. She treats the children lovingly as a grandmother would, taking care of them and protecting them until their parents repent, at which point she returns them.

Wewe Gombel has affinities with the ghost known as Hantu Kopek in Malay folklore.

perfect ice, pavilion bukit bintang.

came across this cafe randomly when walking around the mall, and recently i'm just craving for waffles and croffles, so it's a must try for me. they have lots of different toppings for their croffle, so you get to customize and pick what you like.

i chose honey and strawberry at the end. you can opt for ice cream as well, but since we were quite full so we decided not to. the croffle is fluffy and has a crispy outer layer which is very enjoyable, but it's kinda too small though. and the strawberry topping is really little.

overall still an enjoyable tea time snack or dessert, the cafe space is kinda cute and quiet, so it's a good spot to just chill and relax.

Learned Italian from scratch when she was put into boarding school in Napoli. Excelled in geometry, Italian, and Art class.

Went to college for fashion design and excelled but stopped halfway through due to murdering her 2 classmates that sabotaged her coming of age kimono.

Past Experience:

Dolce had to make the choice of who she wanted to live with- her inattentive mom and stepdad that treats her with contempt or her irresponsible father that pays attention but doesn’t always make the right choices.

She picked her father much to his hidden dismay. She traveled a lot with her father as he took hits out for Dio.

He eventually put her in a boarding school in Napoli Italy so she would have some sort of stability. He would visit every so often about once a month. Right before she graduated he suddenly stopped showing up. She didn’t take it too well, he either died due to the hazards of the job or he abandoned her. She has trust and abandonment issues because of this.

Once she started college she went for the fashion designer path. She made some friends along the way and some who weren’t as well meaning as others. 2 students wanted to get ahead of her and decided to sabotage her fashion class final-her coming of age kimono, basically making her fail.

Dolce snapped. With the loss of her family, her hard work, and now her dream of becoming a designer, Dolce felt like life has no meaning for her anymore. She stopped at nothing to find out who destroyed her work and punish them accordingly.

She hunted down and murdered both sabotagers. She killed 1 in the showers with a switchblade she hid in her nether region and the other in her dorm with a seam ripper.

Risotto Nero ran into a distressed Dolce with a large foul smelling suitcase that she was trying to dump into the Sarno river.

Finding her suspicious he interrogates her and finds out the contents of the suitcase to be 2 missing girls from the news that are partially melted and decomposed including the skeleton being melted.

She begs for his silence and not alarm the police so she can stay in Italy. Him being interested in her stand powers let her slide if she joins his hitman team.

She had a lot to prove to the murderous men but they already had been exposed to Calamari and their strange stand powers and proved themselves to be competent.

So they gave Dolce slightly a little more slack than when Calamari started. Calamari with their forensic knowledge helped Dolce to destroy the bodies.

Dolce being the charismatic and ambitious person she is was able to sweet talk herself into a permanent position in the hitman team. That still didn’t excuse her from the usual teasing from the rest of the gang of course. In order to be a hitman you need some thick skin.

Thoughts on love:

Love is a powerful thing that Dolce obsesses over. She only got any love and attention from her maternal grandparents and their Filipino caretaker until her grandparents passed away from cancer and old age. She was neglected and abandoned by her parents so she feels the need to get love and to receive love intensely. It doesn’t matter if it’s physical, emotional, or platonic love. She’s starved of it and she needs it.

Love is the one thing she cannot buy nor a skill that can be mastered. It’s the one thing she wants more than money or fame.

She’s determined to have a family and a partner and to love them more than her parents could ever love her.

Sexual and/or Romantic Identity: Pansexual;Panromantic- masculine leaning

People they like:

She likes people who are open and honest. She likes surrounding herself with people who know what they want. She’s not interested in those who beat around the bush or are into formalities. Be straightforward with her and she will respect you. On the other hand, she feels the need to protect and befriend the shyer soft spoken people. She wants to be around people who have passion and dedication- people with dreams. She’s your hype girl and cheerleader. She might not know anything about what you’re into but she will support you 100% of the way and take the time to learn about your passions.

She also has a soft spot for the elderly and highly respects her elders, excluding her parents.

People they hate:

Dolce looks calm and calculated but… there are a lot of kinds of people that she absolutely hates.

She hates deadbeat parents. Seeing parents not paying attention to their kids as they beg for affection and attention just set a fire inside her. If she has a chance she’d beat that deadbeat whore/bastard with an inch of their life if she had a chance to without traumatizing the kid. Despite that, Dolce is also hypocritical. there’s nothing more than she hates than seeing a happy family. If she can’t buy or work towards it, it will drive her crazy. She never had loving attentive parents and seeing others get that enrages her. She gets a sick satisfaction from targets begging for their lives and to think about their family. She might torture them more by threatening the families lives too or just outright kill the guy in spite for caring about their family.

She hates anyone who gets in the way of her dreams. She has a strong will and won’t allow anyone to stop her. She’s ambitious to the max. She hates her ex friends/ classmates for sabotaging her fashion designs and bullying her. She absolutely hates Giorno because his dream clashes with hers. She wants the drug money for herself and her team. Despite that, she admires Giornos unstoppable ambition and yet it annoys her and she wants to destroy it. She’s so ambitious to the point of self destruction. She knows she won’t be able to live her dreams if she self-destructs but her desire to destroy her enemies outweighs her desire for her dreams.

She hates Mista because he’s a nuisance that’s in her way. Getting shot in the arm and ruining her shirt already puts you on her shit list. She wouldn’t love more than to see him get frozen to death or watch him melt into a disgusting puddle of filth.

Dreams for the future:

Her true dreams died the minute her final project- coming of age kimono was sabotaged.

In passione her dream is to obtain the drug money and achieve enough wealth and power in order to make her father want to come back and be proud of her so they can be a family again. She also dreams of tying the knot with her partner and having a family. But she wants to be the one to pop the question to her ice gremlin.

Quotes (what do they say often? What’s their life’s motto?):

“Wah lau!(omg) ONLY 20 million lira? Between all of us??? No fair!”

“Hěn hǎo!”(very good !)

“Tā mā de!” ( oh fuck/damn it!)

“I am NOT CHINESE. I speak Chinese. I am from SINGAPORE. How about you travel the world a bit mirror man???”

“To take a leaf out of one’s book means to copy what someone else does. The leaf means loose leaf paper, to rip a page out of a book and plagiarize the information. Oh… you still think it’s stupid ? I know it’s upsetting to you but it isn’t worth getting worked up over it, BǎoBèi.”

“God! You know it gets me frisky when you’re forceful and angry!”

Hobbies; fashion design, sewing, knitting, Chinese calligraphy , practicing Italian, teaching Chinese (she can be harsh when it comes to others not knowing their tones),

Habits & quirks :

has an oral fixation- so she’s always sucking on lollipops or chewing gum or sucking on hard candy

likes to pace around the room- hates standing /sitting still,

eats twice the amount of carbohydrates and sugar a normal person eats for her stand,

She is equally Singaporean Chinese and Japanese but identifies more as Singaporean Chinese since living with her father the longest.

Gets up ridiculously early-5am,

Her morning routine must never be interrupted or else her whole day is “ruined”

She has OCD and has some strong superstitions,

She transliterates all of Italian cities and foods in katakana so she can pronounce them better

Others find it “quirky “ or weird but her vehicle of choice is a creeper van. She says it’s for extra storage, but based on the suspicious stains she might have been using her van for “work” as well. And “its all I can afford !” She claims.

Pet peeves: hates writing in red ink-believes ones life is cut short when names are written in red

People not using correct tones for Chinese words-

Cutting noodles and pasta

People only liking things because it’s “popular” and not just liking them to like them. (Ex-liking Rolex watches only because they are expensive)

Misidentifying her nationality
