Princess Tia's 18th

Annyeong everyone! ~ヾ(＾∇＾) TGIF since it's past midnight already! All the best to those studying for MSTs and happy holidays to those who are already done YAY! :) Today's post is going to be about my best friend's, Tia, 18th birthday! 

Our plan wasn't a surprise or anything because it's only right and known that we'd be celebrating her birthday with her as we've been doing it every single year. However unlike Nurin and I who are on holiday break now, Tia still has school and lessons so SUCKS FOR HER jk. Hence Nurin and I decided to wake up bright and early to prepare the birthday "essentials". We met up around 9AM but realized that most of the shops didn't open until 10 so we ended up having breakfast while waiting. Our first stop was to get helium balloons for Tia as she's a sucker for them (just like me lol).

Bloody hell the shop sold us a defected balloons which we couldn't tell until it ended up DEFLATING only an hour later while we were out of the mall. Smh I was so annoyed that my money was spent on a defected balloon thank God the other one was going strong. We also got Tia a card from Popular (we waited for 15 minutes for the store to open while I sang Adele's "Hello" because we were on the other side of the shutters HA I'm hilarious) and a small cartoon cake from Polar or something :)

The journey to Tia's school was a super extra long one as Nurin and I were tired as tell due to waking up so early and running around. Bedok > Yio Chu Kang smh that's 18 long ass stops and it didn't help that we had to walk to the school HAHA.

Finally with the royal highness.

We sat around NYP for about an hour or less and decided to head to town as Tia's practice only started at 6.30 and we had hours to spare. First stop, H&M (because Tia wouldn't shut up about the sales going on). I thought I would be able to find some lovely pieces in H&M but noooooo this is what I ended up trying out.....

It was too cute I COULDN'T resist.

Finally found a larger and more suitable size.

I even modeled it for my friends and the public HAHAHA video's on snapchat because it's too awesome to be shared here ໒( ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )७ Guys honestly I don't care that it's from the kid's section it's SO goddamn fluffy and soft!!!! Playtime was cut short due to the birthday girl complaining she was hungry so we head to 18chefs at cine! Nurin and I weren't hungry due to breakfast so we decided to share dessert :) YUMMY!

Lunch was then followed by a mini "photo shoot" if y'know what I mean ;) HAHA basically we spent a lot of time taking ootds of each other.

Top: "NEW YORK" jersey from Bangkok

Bottoms: black high-waists from Bangkok

Socks: Cotton On

Shoes: New Balance

Bucket Hat: JRunway

You'd probably noticed by now that I've gotten my hair cut and dyed! :) Getting my fringe cut was a huge deal for me that required months of thinking as I had very bad experience with having bangs before. But HECK yolo right????

Tried our best to capture my hair colour but to no avail. My hair's dyed a shade of "Jewel Pink" from Liese's bubble hair colour range :) I MAD LOVE MY HAIR NOW! Dying my hair has been something I've been dying to do ever since I ended my O's the first time.

Our last stop of the day was Forever 21! Kinda boring since most of the apparels sold there are quite costly :( But holy shit they launched a Star Wars collection and fml the pieces are G O R G E O U S! Can't wait for The Force Awakens in 6 days *dying*.

"Can't be bothered with your shit"

Thank you for always making me have a wonderful time! To Tia if you are reading this, I hope you enjoyed your 18th birthday :) I know it isn't anything special compared to others but it's the thought that counts right? Don't let anything down! We're always here for u baby girl :) Love you chubs X

Illumi Run 2015

Hello everybody! :) As said in the title and by the picture above, it's quite obvious what today's blogpost will be about. That's right, ILLUMI RUN 2015! A year ago I blogged about my experience for the run in 2014, you can read it here if you haven't yet done so :) Likewise I hope whoever that attended this run had fun and experienced something new! This year was my 2nd consecutive year attending the run and I might just make it into a yearly tradition (depends on the year's pricing though psht)! 

Just like last year, the whole route was about 5km (still didn't feel like it) and had the 4 glow zones/checkpoints as well. However the organizers change the glow zones every year and IMO this year was much more exciting and fun as compared to the year before!

This year was much much MUCH more exciting as I went for the run with Jeremy :) It took a lot and I do mean A LOT of convincing to get to come along with me as he was reluctant to pay for something he wasn't sure would be worth his money. [PS hi jer I did promise you it would be worth your money and I did deliver my promise didn't I? :P] But with my awesome and terrific convincing skills I managed to change his mind hehe.

Yes for all you curious souls I wore exactly the same thing as I did last year.

We took a train to bugis and changed to the downtown line towards promenade and I later realised dropping off at Nicole highway would've been faster oops. This year we were being given 2 t-shirts, the white splash out tee and a black "party on the run" tee, however the black tee had to be collected on the day itself so we went down earlier in hopes of skipping the long queue. Boy I'm so glad we did that HAHA. Also I met up with my cousin and her friends before the start of the run and we stuck together for the rest of the night so special shout out to Reiko for being my photographer for the night!! HEARTS YOU X 

Here's our mandatory pre-run pictures because Jeremy insisted :P

We were queuing up for neon face paint and since Jeremy and I were given alcohol tags we went ahead and bought 2 cups of booze and LMAO for $10 it sure wasn't as good as I thought it'd be but oh wells it's better than nothing right? Hahaha. However the queue for face paint was really darn long so we decided to skip them and join the queue for the flag off instead.

I had bought a phone casing especially for this run but I realised that when the glow paints get splattered on the cover it's really darn hard to clean it off and it leaves a really blurry mark which results in my pictures looking like this....

This was only 5 mins into the run ;.,,,,,)

So I just thought HECK and took my phone out from it's casing whenever I wanted to take pictures and thank God nothing bad happened and it's still working well lol.

You see the difference??!!!???!?!?!?!??!??!??11?!!! OMG!

The pain I had to go through to get these light sticks CRIES

Thank you for sweeping me off my feet *heart eye emoji*

My FAVOURITE picture of all HEHE <333

FINALLY a group shot!!!

Not even half-way through the run and we already looking like glowing rainbows HAHA.

Shout out to Jeremy for taking so many ridiculous pictures with me, I know I'm very annoying :P

Sad to say I didn't get much pictures of the after party as I spent most of it partying and pushing my way towards the front of the crowd so we could be closer to the stage! But if you've me/Jeremy added on snapchat you would've seen/heard how wild it was there :)

Hi best cousin thanks for always being an awesome sport!!

We left the place around 11PM as we were afraid we wouldn't make it on the last train home. The train ride home was a fairly amusing one due to the amount of judgmental stares and whispers we were getting lmao *inserts laughing crying emoji* 

I got mac on my way home as I didn't have lunch and I was STARVINGGG. The glow paint was fairly easy to wash off  and it didn't require intense scrubbing so for all of you who are concerned about that, you have no concerns now!! So just GO JE :) <THE END>

I guess that pretty much sums up how my Illumi Run 2015 experience (or more like how my day) went!! Till we meet again next year!! X
