It's been WAY too Long..


It's been months since an update, whoever that has been visiting this site... Well I'm sorry you had to see the same post over and over again, you guys rock though! Mwahmwah! 

Anyway I'm currently in the midst of getting my hair colored! Finallyyyyy! My grow out is massive and can't take the sight of it any longer, also an excuse to look extra prudy for my birthday tomorrow! Not sure how the tone will turn out this time, it's always a surprise with Jeffrey who is incredibly patient and passionate when it comes to his colouring. He told me my blonde hair condition is super duper good and I definitely thank Pureology by L'Oreal. If you're curious, I'm actually using the Strength Cure series which includes the shampoo, conditioner, treatment and serum! A wee bit costly but totally worth it, your hair is your crown girl so protect and treat it... Worship it! 

I look like a friggin' rockstar! Just finish baking the bleach...  My ass is aching and someone offered me a massage (not really). 

First time blogging with my iPhone6s+ (yes, showing off cannot is it? Hehehe!). Blabbering away like nobodies business, pretty therapeutic. Tryna burn time and distract myself from this buttache.

Time to wash off the bleach! Catch ya later ;)

Reunited

So it's back to exciting fun-filled adventures with the boys! Yang and Jone are back for holidays and Kelvin is back FOR GOOD (finally another weekly hangout buddy hehe)! Feels as though my life jigsaw puzzle is being put together one-by-one and soon when everyone is back to stay it shall be complete. *feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside*

It's definitely tradition to reunite with drinks in our hands and also giving ourselves a great excuse to hit the club, especially for some of us who are already working. So, Zouk ZOUK ZOUK it was! It's been months since I stepped into a club so it was about time to get buzzed and just let go! 

Mun texted me that night asking to date me out for dinner and to both of our surprise, we both had Zouk plans! What a coincidence! Unfortunately our dinner date didn't materialize because I had work.

We ended up getting a ride there together anyway, sweet Yang fetched the both of us. :)

_SAM6940Don't be fooled by that cute face, you'll be surprised by how she can project her voice effortlessly without straining her vocal cords HAHAHA! I love you Mun Mun, date soon for sure :) _SAM6948

Creativity in Motion by Limkokwing University 2015

_SAM6558
The 'Creativity in Motion' fashion show by Limkokwing University happened on the 2nd of July @ Starhill Gallery. Such an extravagant event is held annually to allow their graduating students from the Faculty of Fashion and Lifestyle Creativity showcase their best work to the public, potential recruiters, family and friends.

The glamorous atmosphere was filled with many talented and beautiful people. We were definitely in it for a fabulous night of Fashion, Music and Art!

Lights, Camera, ACTION!

_SAM6746
My personal favorite of the night! Elaborate and sensuous. 

In all honesty, if I was there without knowing all these beautiful designs were by the students of Limkokwing, I'd probably think they were all designed by renowned fashion designers. Every piece had its own unique recipe, very well-thought-out designs with meticulous details. By Limkokwing giving these aspiring fashion designers the chance to stage their work has immediately help them open up the passage to many great opportunities.

I feel immensely proud of everyone who was involved in this production as they've truly outdone themselves with leaving the audience in awe by putting such a fantastic show! *many many applause*

Unfortunately I didn't capture all of the collections so do check out their official website for more details and pictures! CLICK ME :)

This was really yummy if you're a fan of Nutella :) Their pancakes here are good too by the way, don't ask me how I know that *does the Ian Somehalder smirk*
