Gifts

Okay, I'm taking too long to make an update, but the weather for the whole of today was so good to sleep in! Listening to the pitter-patter of the raindrops, weather was so cooling and I felt so warm and snug in bed :) Okok, post 21st birthday celebrations!

You know.... I'm really lousy, I didn't take much pictures because I was too busy entertaining people (both friends and family *headache*). So... the only pictures I have... are those of the cake-cutting pictures with different friends and those Bern snapped for me! So if you have any pictures of me, send me pretty please? :)


My advanced birthday presents, with love from my sisters! :)
Kelda got me the vintage gold Casio watch (ok, must give credit to her friends who did all the legwork), while Kelila shopped around looking for a perfect gift for me and she found me a crystal angel pendant! Fit for a real angel like me, hahaha! :)

Anyway, I really appreciate the gifts and the thoughts! :)


So... I didn't manage to convince Bern to get me a submarine. Actually come to think of it, why do I need a submarine when I don't even go swimming often?! Hhahahaha! :) So Bern got me a supersampler, a book of Lomography (love it!! My chinese is improving man!) and a Colourflash that I can attach to my Fisheye! :) I'm a very blessed, loved and happy girl! :) I love my boyfriend!

Turning 21st!

First of all, I wanna thank everyone who took time off on Sunday (when people usually wanna laze around) to come to my birthday party! :) I wanna say that I'm overwhelmed by the gifts. :) I really love them!! Please pardon me if I haven't been a good host, I won't give excuses for myself but trying to make everyone feel comfortable has been really tiring and by 8ish, a headache was creeping up already. I'll blog more about it this weekend when I have the time. :)

Work's been really crazy (I know I've said this nth time and you know it's really true when I always wanna update but I can't even find the time to access blogger at work) and all I wanna do when I get home these days (lucky if I come home by 8ish) is to get a nice shower, chill in front of the TV while getting my legs massaged, and then pop into bed.

I'm really happy :) My family is in Korea, having the time of their lives freezing their asses off and I thought my mum would probably not do anything since I told her that she don't need to give me an angbao since she's paying for the buffet and made all those yummy treats already. Butbutbutbutbut, she left a note to Kelda, telling her to give me the prepared angbao on my birthday! *feeling loved* At the stroke of 12midnight, Kelda shouted "Happy Birthday" into my ear and I got a shock because my feet were planted in the uSqueeze and I couldn't move =p She bought the SaraLee pound cake thinking that no one bought a cake for me. Bern came out with my birthday cake as well..... *feeling so loved* And I receive my presents and I can't be anymore happier =D I received my HairSpray vcd, Lomography book and my Supersampler!! =D

I'm feeling really blessed right now and thanks to everyone who made my day!

Countdown: 2 days!

Have taken the day off to chill, relax and run some errands :)

Had a nice breakfast at the kopitiam with my younger sisters, granny and mummy. After that we went walking around the neighbourhood, it's been a while since I did that hahaha. Bought sparkling juices for the party coming up on Sunday and some marie biscuits to munch on at home should I get hungry.

It was really early, say 9ish when we finished the shopping. Granny and Kelila wanted to get their hair trimmed at the neighbourhood salon, but it was still closed. So we sat down at the playground, as we watched the lazy neighbourhood slowly stir from its slumber. :)

Gonna bring granny and Kelila out to City Plaza for a lil shopping before heading over to Claire's place nearby for a swim! :) Gonna pack my FishEye, think we'll get some pretty good shots in the sun.

Checklist:
- Buffet catering: CONFIRMED!
- Cake: CONFIRMED!
- Guestbook: purchased, waiting to get bling-ed up :)
- Polaroid film: to be bought

P/S: Oh yesyes, please take a picture with me at the party as a thank-you-for-coming gift! :)
P/P/S: Also remember to leave a message on my guestbook!

What I want for my 21st

Guide to getting Kelly a birthday present:
Rule #1 - Get something that she will use.
Rule #2 - If in doubt, ask, and she will answer.

P/s: This list will be constantly updated :D

1. Fisheye Submarine
I think it's not wise to get another lomocam until I master my present cams, so I think this is a wonderful add-on for my Fisheye2. :) *pssst* It's expensive at both Page One and Kino, so do check out Objectifs at Bugis :) BTW, I already have fotoclips and the fisheye cutter, so no need to get me those!

2. Fragrances

Lulu C in Paris - LuluCastagnette is on of the emblematic fashion French brand known for its humorous and adorable visual identity code: the teddy bear. The style is casual and glamorous with a health balance between girly and active look. That represents perfectly the Parisian lifestyle; the Parisian spirit.


Anna Sui - Anna Sui's Dolly Girl Eau de Toilette combines sweet grapefruit, melon, orange blossom and amber musk notes, but it's the adorable vintage judy-head bottle that has us saying "Ooh la la." The Dolly Girl line also includes a pretty-packaged body lotion, and both come in quilted lavender boxes that trace Dolly's romantic and retail adventures through the streets of Paris.

Basically, I like fragrances that are light, breezy and fruity, nothing heavy to bring on a headache :) I tested both before and I really like them hehe

3. Bath & Body Works products
- Black Raspberry Vanilla Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel
- Temptations Body Lotion Sassy Strawberry Mint
I can't say how much I love Bath&BodyWorks products!

4. Gemstones
I think a lot of people don't know but I'm interested in gemstones healing (like how i'm interested in numerology and tarot-card readings). Different stones have different properties, and I think it would be really nice to receive a nice bottle filled with a mixture of rose quartz, kunzite, aquamarine and citrine crystals :) I wouldn't mind it being in a form of an accessory like a bracelet or necklace too!

5. HairSpray DVD
*You can't stop the beat!* Enough said :)

6. Skincare products - Kose Mask White, Kiehl's Yerba Mate Tea Lotion, La Mer Moisturising Gel-Creme

6. Books
I like reading self-improvement books. *geeky smile*

7. Vouchers
Would really appreciate if I can get vouchers from Surrealist Love Scene (ooh, I can get my Irregular Choice shoes!), Skin Revival, Nike, Forever21, TopShop etc.

8. AOP "Any Other Present"
If you think you know what I like, you can try giving me stuff that's not on the list. If you need to know, I'm a Topshop 6-8, shoe size 36. Nice dresses, and tops are very welcome :)

Come dressed in white, black or PINK!
25th November, 45 Springside Walk, 5:30pm onwards
*Check your email for more details*

People, keep your November 25th free for me! :)

I'm turning 21!
I think my uncle and aunt-in-law are more excited than me (I'm holding my party at their place) - every week when I go to their place for dinner, they will ask me if my friends drink red wine or prefer beer, and they bought wine glasses, balloons and some decorations already. hahaha My aunt-in-law will remind me to check out the birthday cake and food catering menus, and tell me not leave everything to the last minute. :)

Timeline:
- Confirm cake + choice of caterer by this week
- Invites to be distributed by next Monday
