From everywhere.

Some recent photos from my iPhone! Some you may have seen on my Instagram already, but otherwise you can live vicariously through these photos WTF.


Dessert spread at my friend's 'Madhatter'-themed housewarming party recently. There were a lot of 'Alice in Wonderland' accents in the decorations that night. :)

Also, is it just me, but a lot of our peers have been buying properties? Gulp. That being said, it is on my 3-year plan though! Wish me luck ok.



With Bobo, whom I followed to and fro from Penang for Aud's wedding! Here we are on a detour for yummy Thai food on our way back.



My accessories for the outfit above. Neon colors to jazz up my white midi buttoned-up slip dress from Topshop.



Luggage for my Penang trip. :)



There were a lot of handmade props for my friend's Madhatter party! As you can see, we had a lot of fun camwhoring.



Brunch with my besties at The Bee. I didn't have cake though, just in case you're wondering.



Chanel namecard holder, turquoise encrusted bangle from Contessa.
Meeting essentials. We just got new namecards, and I am in love with them! :D



'Drink me' bottles at the party. Love my friend's attention to detail!

That reminds me... I've always harbored a secret ambition to be a party planner, anyone want to hire me? :P



Cendol in Penang that gave me a phobia of cendol. -_____________- It tasted so horrible!! Too much gula melaka, and I think they forgot to add santan... It was so sweet it tasted bitter. -_____- Penang food Y U LET ME DOWN!




Going crazy over crochet lace.

Polka dot shirt with crochet lace cuffs: AZORIAS
Crochet lace shorts: Korea
Scalloped nude heels with laced-up back: Holiday in Tokyo

Wedding weekend.

Slightly late for this, but I am back from Tim and Aud's wedding in Penang over the weekend! I was one of the bridesmaids, and it was really the experience of a lifetime. :')

That being said, it was seriously tiring! I still haven't recovered from my weekend, to be honest. -_- I can't even imagine how Aud feels!

Anyway, just thought I will post up some pictures from the weekend! I forgot to bring my camera to Penang, so all pictures are from my iPhone and Facebook.



Love love love this shot! This was taken during the ROM-- officially man and wife. :)



A proper group shot of all the bridesmaids, there are 8 of us!
L-R: Ringo, Bobo, Jiameei, Wendy, me, Suet, Tze, Angela.

We are dressed in the colors of rainbow (well, kinda, I mean, rainbows should totally have pink as a color wtf), in accordance to the Up theme of Audrey's wedding! We were all assigned a color, and I was originally supposed to be in red. However the tailor didn't have any red fabric, so I got fuchsia instead, which I was secretly happy about. Alas, my dress was too small!! O_O Luckily Ringo's dress (green) was a little too big on her, so we swapped dresses. And that's how come I ended up in a green dress.



Some of the bridesmaids with all of the best men. All very eligible ar.



The ROM was held in Tim's family house yard, which is perched on top of a hill overlooking a magnificent view (seaview yo!). It was quite windy and the balloons kept on hitting us on our faces wtf.



Beautiful Aud in her wedding gown before the groom came to pick up the bride. When she was still looking for her ideal wedding dress, she declared that she wants something like what a princess would wear, and I think her wedding gown totally fits the bill! :')



Another group shot before the groom and the best men arrived.


All of us (the bridesmaids) came from different parts of the world-- KL, Kuala Pilah wtf (Suet is a teacher there), Singapore, Vancouver... But we had this chance to be united under this beautiful occasion and be girlfriends! We didn't know every single one of us prior to the wedding, but after the hen's night and the wedding weekend, we are sending teary goodbye messages to each other wtf.



Taken from Tim's Instagram.
The bridesmaids made an impromptu decision to release the balloons in our hands (each of us had a matching colored balloon) the moment the groom kissed the bride after they were pronounced husband and wife. So happy that someone caught a picture of this!



The back of Audrey's dress. I love how her wedding gown still has an element of 'Audrey' in it, it's totally her!




Ending with one of my favorite bridesmaids + bride shot. :)

Apple prints.

I've been looking for a chance to bring my new Marni pumps (from Tokyo) out to play!



Scarlet heels that can rival Dorothy's in Wizard of Oz, hehehe.
Click here to read more about the shoes and other shopping hauls.


And what better way to pair this rich suede pumps than with some luscious apple prints?


Perfect match. :)



Simple gold jewelry on the arm.



Wore this to see Smalls and Mey (my ex-housemates for the uninformed)! It's sad to imagine that the Flat Hair Flat is all separated now, with Jac being in Melbourne, Mey in Singapore, Smalls in Sydney, and me in KL. :(



Wearing my recent fave happy print top-- very trendwhore wtf with a peplum hem and a yummy gold exposed zipper at the back!
For some reason, I felt that spikes were appropriate. And they were.

Apple print peplum top with exposed backzipper: AZORIAS
Dark wash denim jeans: Topshop
Gold spiked necklaces: All from Korea
Arm accessories: All from Korea
Gold watch: DKNY
Red bow suede pumps: Marni
Bag (not shown): Black Chanel lambskin classic flap Jumbo

By the way, happy prints make you... happy. Just thought I should let you all know.

Non-stop weekend.

It has been a crazy crazy weekend!

First it was a radio interview on Red FM, which I mentioned in my last post.

Then on Friday, I was on air with Linora Low on Red FM:


Linora is so unbelievably chirpy and hyper! Puts even me to shame wtf.

I was wearing a cute open-back dress from AZORIAS, which Linora was ooh-ing and aah-ing over:


See? Hehe.

The dress is on sale now, and in super super limited quantities!! Don't say I didn't give you girls a heads-up ar.

Then on (really early) Saturday morning, I was at Nuffnang Blogopolis:

With my fellow speaker, Huai Bin. :)

And on the same night, it was Audrey's hen's night!


Bobo lovingly curling Tze's hair, hehe.

There were 8 of us in a Westin suite, and it's so much fun getting ready with so many girls!


Ringo, Xiaxue and Jiameei. Jiameei was waiting for her turn at the hair curler, haha.



Suet and bride-to-be!

Abrupt end of hen's night pictures. We don't kiss and tell! ;)

Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge.

Teeny and I were at the Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge a few weeks ago, which we were really excited about. Being the number whisky brand in Malaysia, I’ve heard a lot of great stories about Johnnie Walker’s parties, and I couldn’t wait! However, it started with a very nerve-wrecking journey to get to Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang (MAEPS) which is really secluded (quite straightforward to get there though)! Luckily Teeny has been to that area before and we reached the party on time. *mental victory dance*

The moment we reached, I frantically called Pinky who gave me the VIP tickets: “Pinky, we don’t know where to park!” She then calmly told me that there is valet service for all guests. All I can think then was, Johnnie Walker, you sure know to treat your guests!


There already was a crowd when we reached the entrance.

As Johnnie Walker is the global partner of Formula One™ team VMM, Jenson Button, Vodafone McLaren Mercedes™ F1™ driver, was present at that night too! That would explain the crowd.



So cute. *shy* And socially responsible too! He advocates responsible drinking by signing the JOHNNIE WALKER® “JoinThePact.com" signature wall to pledge to Never Drink and Drive.



One of the first things we did was to take a picture with the photo op wall at the black carpet (word pun!).

But we quickly got distracted by this smoky business going on at the end of the carpet:


Magic was happening at the experimental bar (aptly named the BLACK FLAVOR LAB), where Johnnie Walker whisky was mixed with an interesting ingredient—green coconut! With a cup of an intriguing mix of dry ice, coconut juice and obviously, Johnnie Walker Black Label in our hands, we continued our march down the carpet.



And got distracted by this! Chocolate truffles. Cue a symphony in our mouths. Whisky in one hand, and chocolates in the other, we definitely felt like queens, hehe.

Next stop was the luxurious GOLD CELEBRATION BAR featuring JOHNNIE WALKER® Global Brand Ambassador, Tom Jones, who introduced the rich, smooth and creamy flavours of the JOHNNIE WALKER® GOLD LABEL RESERVE™.






When we stepped into the Black Circuit Lounge, DJ Nadine Ann Thomas was already at the decks. I’ve met her once before in an event, and she was really friendly and nice, but who would have thought she would be so talented in DJ-ing as well!



Hosts for the night, Dominic Lau and Thanuja Ananthan then stepped on stage to welcome the VIP guests to the Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge. I was distracted by her shiny legs under the spotlight.



Really love Teeny’s make-up that night! You know she is in for a party when she pulls out the false eyelashes, haha.



Black and gold.


Some random pictures:


Wall deco.



As you can see, I was really fascinated by the dry ice and smoke.



Outfit for the night.



Colored lights make me wanna dance, whee!



Guess who I saw there! One of my models for AZORIAS, haha. Nat with her boyfriend, Josiah (winner of Cleo’s Bachelor) and Fay Hokulani. But I forgot to take a picture with her. *smacks forehead*



Free flow!


Celebrity sightings:


Hannah Tan, Reshmonu and Nadine Ann Thomas.



Hannah Tan, Dominic Lau , Jenson Button, Leng Yein, Thanuja Anandthan and Alex Yoong at the ‘Join the Pact’ wall—one of Johnnie Walker’s emphasis on responsible drinking



I saw Andrea Fonseka there, who is really stunning in real life!



More fun juice.



Taken from the official Johnnie Walker Facebook page.



There were also these really cool photobooths all over the lounge—you snap a photo (silly poses optional) and it is then immediately uploaded onto your Facebook! Too cool.


One of my favorite parts of the night—Johnnie Walker + coconut sorbet!


Step 1: Add a scoop of coconut sorbet into your glass.


Step 2: Add Johnnie Walker Black Label (15ml is the recommended amount, but you can always add more ;) ).


Step 3: SERVE IT!

This was seriously so yummy. After the dainty dips into the coconut sorbet, we then just down the melted sorbet + whisky (taught by a clever friend)!



Johnnie Wlker advocates responsible drinking, hence there were these “Winners Always Stay In Control” games of dexterity! I didn’t fare too well—I think I just have very bad hand-eye coordination FML.


Outfit details:



Black backless romper with crochet trimmings: Holiday in Bangkok
Gold metal collar: Korea
Black pumps with tortoiseshell heels: Topshop
Gold shell clutch: Accessorize


Here’s a video of the night:




And some behind the scene/ teasers for the night:



You can also view more details of the night on the official FB page.




Johnnie Walker, you sure know how to throw a party. And as Johnnie Walker continually innovates to bring exciting new consumer experiences to the Black Circuit Lounge, you can bet that the next party is going to be an awesome one as well. WE WILL BE BACK to Step Inside The Black Circuit Lounge!
