Perks of being the Birthday Girl


I am currently obsessed with the Sephora goodies I received from Pris' Laopo as my birthday present. I opened up the lippie days ago and am really loving the color. It's some matte baby rose color which complements my "lazy" day look. For someone like me who don't include lipstick in my daily makeup routine, it's really good to make me want to use it every day now.



On the day of my birthday, I met up with Mumsy & Sissy after piano lessons & made our way down to town for some serious retail therapy. There was quite a fair bit of damage done.

Daddy met us at town right after we got Gong Cha. Forever21 was our first pit stop & from then on, the shopping continues until 10pm. Some changing room shots to document the shopping spree.








Right after we were done shopping we had a very hard time finding a place to dine at. We were all hungry omnivores by then and whining about being hungry for too long. Our legs were aching like mad & I just felt like ordering McDelivery while we head back home & pop some good dads for the night. Funshion would do as well. 

But in the end we ended up at Swensens at Changi Airport (only place we could think of that is still open) for dinner.

Dinner time finally arrived. Though it was well approaching midnight.



This black pepper seafood spaghetti was really good.




& the usual birthday complementary.

The shopping was awesome & I wouldn't have chosen any other way to spend my birthday. Okay maybe I would, but it'll definitely be something with my family still. 

Forgot to upload my hauls so I'm just gonna rant my buys off as I can remember now. My damage was a pair of studded loafers, a knitted hoodie pullover, 2 tops, & one necklace. All sponsored by my parents except the hoodie because they sub as my birthday presents. :)

NOT FORGETTING I'm already being sponsored by my dearest Mumsy for everything I am doing to my hair. Had it colored with treatment and cut 2 days before my birthday with Bugis Essensuals. The day after my birthday I went down to Benz Hair Salon at Raffles Place with Mumsy & Sissy to get my hair rebonded. Yeah, perks of being the birthday girl.

The trip down to Essensuals was rather impromptu as they only offered the birthday promo on Mon-Thurs & that day was a Thursday. I wanted to get it done before my birthday so right after I met up with the boyf after school I dragged him to Bugis with me.

It was a grueling 2 plus hours for the boyf because his phone was on the verge of dying & there was nothing for him to do while waiting for me. Oops.

Had Bryan to do my hair for me that day as Wayne was fully booked. He suggested a darker color b/c my hair is completely screwed from too much chemical treatment & lighter colors can't last as long.


Hair was still pretty dried out but the treatment made my hair really soft :)

Had an awesome 19th this year! ^^

A huge thank you to those who wished me, especially those who camped until midnight. A massive thank you to those who spent my birthday with me, in advance & actual. Finally, I am most thankful I get to spent it with all my loved ones this year. Love all of them v v much because they gift me lovely presents, and the largest present of all, their time spent with me trying to make my day as awesome as possible.

I had a great one!

It's my 1 to the 9!

As the title suggests, this post is about my 19th. Or rather pre-19th. Celebrated my birthday in advance with my family & cousys. Kinda addicted to putting "sy" behind a lot of things.

Anyway, le boyf went off early for some pool tournament while I slept in because, I'm a pig like that. Woke up, got prepared & went down to Klassic to witness the finals.  


OOTD: Top-BKK, Necklace-BKK, Tank Dress-Mango, Watch-Seiko, Leather Cuff-Bugis Street, Shoes (not shown) Haji Lane

It's an outfit I wore before, which means I really really loved this combo because I hardly re-wear an outfit unless it's comfy clothes. Or I-cant-be-bothered-to-choose-what-to-wear-anymore outfits I throw on for school.



Makeup OTD

& as I rushed into NorthPoint for the restroom, I saw Punk Star having sales & couldn't resist getting this cap at 10 bucks only. So, welcome new cap to my overflowing wardrobe!

Was stuck at Klassic because of the crazy rain so has a game of scotch doubles at snooker before rushing over to Sengkang for the celebration.


Sissy decided to help me take a clearer OOTD.

The story behind this photo:

"Eh black & white like nice leh" "Let's act like having photoshoot!" "Look down! Look down! Like tumblr photos you know!" "Like lookbook?" "Ya la, see? Nice right? Must credit me hor!"

Anyway, while waiting for everyone to be there, boyf, laopo & I decided to go down to take a walk. Ended up in the bball court as we were looking for the boys & we decided to revisit the past by shooting a few. Ended into short matches of 2 v 1 & we went back panting & lamenting that we are getting old.

I had aches in my arms the next day. It's a wonder how we used to play bball all day everyday.

Back to the celebration.

The cake was short of one candle. So the story to outsiders will be "I'm forever 18!" 


*hands over the light spear* "This is your 19th candle" *Takes & acts cute with it*

With Sissy & Laopo. 


We were supposed to do funny faces, but it was...halfway to success. But anyway, spot the telepathy between me & Pris! I call it Laopo Telepathy. 









Cap marks on my hair. :/











With Sissy. With us trying to take the shot being behind the other. I finally gave in.

Dakorkor Wayne.

Xiaokorkor Shayne.


Awkward moment of the day when after pre-bday-song photos, everybody all siam-ed me & left me there in the middle of the room to sing the birthday song. I went "Why going to sing song everybody siam?" & only Pris came back to sit next to me. -.-

Sissy took a video of the birthday song singing. 




After that I took off with the boyf to Yishun for a midnight movie. Had Wendys for supper & caught Ah Boys To Men. Hilarious show, but the ending was awkward though. It was a great ending for the day because I laughed so much it made me feel sooo happy at the end of the day.

Headed back to boy's house & tore open my presents. Love them all v much, esp the red packets. No, actually most of them are red packets. Lol. 

That's all for my 19th. Nothing amazing, yet amazing all the same.
