  1. 23rd Birthday ♥︎

    Friday, July 25, 2014

    Helloooooo!

    I have been back to Malaysia for slightly almost two weeks now and all I have been doing is getting busy. I have things to do everyday and barely have much me time. Whenever I do have time to sit down alone, I'll try my bestest to skype with the boyfriend and catch up with one and another. Feels weird not being able to see him all day everyday after spending almost 3 weeks together day and night.

    As much as I love blogging, I let procrastination get the better of me. I take tonnes and tonnes of pictures but these pictures barely goes up anywhere. Some pictures I take it for instagram's purpose but most of it, it is for my blog but I just somehow never get around to ever publishing on my blog. Sad thing. I know, but never change.... -.-

    Anyways, I am back to blog about my birthday! As years goes by, as I get older, I don't see my birthday as though it is something huge anymore. All I want is to celebrate it with people who makes my life, my life. Ironically tho, for the 3 and a half years being together with the boyfriend, I have only celebrated my birthday with him in our first year together. The rest of the years I am always back in Malaysia and celebrating it with my family and friends who are here.

    It's not that I don't want to celebrate with him but it just happens to be that every year I am back for holidays and he isn't. So that's a bummer... But at least I do feel loved by him regardless of the distance between us ♥︎ Not material wise but emotionally.

    So..., how was the birthday like for me?

    At midnight, the boyfriend was the first to wish me Happy Birthday! Meloveandmisshimlots..!!

    And then, the day properly started with me getting dressed up. Obviously :D It was because I was going to attend a free beauty workshop in Sephora KLCC and mum kindly drove me there and waited for me for an hour plus whilst I was at the workshop.

    Of course we reached early because we are just punctual like that :P And so, me and mum started off with some breakfast. And when in KLCC, it means Coffee & Spice's curry puff. Definitely. Of course!

    Otak otak curry puff!! SO GOOD! Plus kuih koci and kuih bingka! My favourites!!

    Then I went off to the Sephora Eyeko Workshop thing while mum went shopping on her own. HEHEHE

    The products we get to play with! Awesome right!!! It was free so it is all the more awesome!

    Eyeko's ambassador, Alexa Chung in the video.

    Celebrity makeup artist, Sheng Saw teaching us how to draw a quick and easy and perfect winged liner using the Eyeko eye do liquid eyeliner!

    Basically the workshop was all about how to draw a winged liner. Sheng was really patient at teaching us girls on how to get the perfect look! We draw it on ourselves first and he'll see if it is okay and what else is there to improve. I drew on my regular winged liner that I wear everyday and Sheng said it was good but in photographs it won't be able to be seen and I can make it more dramatic because my eyelid has a lot of room for me to draw more.

    So Sheng went on and drew a super dramatic cat eye on my right eye and then I had to replicate it on my left eye. It was seriously the most dramatic liner I have ever had drawn on my eye! I briefly mentioned that it was my birthday and Sheng was saying, it is my birthday so I can get away with having dramatic look on my face! HAHA! :P

    That's Nina from Eyeko, Sheng at the back and the girl on the far right is my sharing mirror partner for that hour and a half. I didn't catch her name...

    Sheng! Talented and super friendly! Thanks for giving me an extra oomph for my birthday! Although the liner doesn't seem super dramatic, but trust me, in person it was! Dramatic in a good way :) Such a pleasure to be able to meet new and nice people! Thank you to Sephora Malaysia for the awesome workshop!! :D

    I am definitely going to attend more of these workshop whenever I could! Not only it was FOC, it was also super educating anddddd we were given a full size of the Eyeko Eye Do Liquid Eyeliner! So nice, so cool and so fun!

    My OOTD!
    Necklace: Lovisa
    Cami: Asos
    Leggings: Zara
    Wedges: Zara
    Bag: Kate Spade Stevie Bag

    My look after the workshop! Sheng accentuated my cheek bones with a whole lot of bronzer! I told him I was going out for a nice dinner with the family so he purposely did that and said, by the time it gets to dinner, it'll be more natural :) ANDD I LOVE MY HAIR! LOOK AT THE COLOUR! OMG SO PRETTY LEHH THE COLOURS! ALL OF MY FAVOURITE COLOURS EVER! And from the picture on the left with the filter, I kinda wanna dye my whole hair reddy brown.. But then again, I love my black hair :D HEHE

    After that mum dropped me off at Garage 51 because I am meeting Yao Yun for a catch up over coffee :)

    YY <3

    Mochatella and Oreo Cheesecake :)

    After tea, YY fetched me home and I quickly got ready to head out for dinner with the family.

    OOTN! All I did was change and did nothing else cause my look was already complete haha! :)
    Playsuit: Topshop
    Necklace: Dotti
    Belt: Asos
    Nude heels: Wittner

    Dinner was @ Oasis Boulevard. My first time there! It looks pretty at night! 

    And to be exact, dinner was @ Crazy Crabs! Cousin happened to somewhat know the boss so it was relatively easy for us to get a table and stuff. Where as there was like this hugeeee crowd outside waiting to get a table and it was like crazy alot of people man!

    * THE FOOD *
    Two different style of crabs. Buttermilk and kam heong.

    A very very nice plate of lamb and a not very nice plate of satay haha!

    Vege for the night :) Thai style tofu and vege with fish fillet.

    Siong tong lala, curry fish head and fried rice. 

    Death by Chocolate cake from Just Heavenly :)

    A year older and hopefully wiser? :P

    Mummy dearest ♥︎ Thank you for everything you've done and given me. Love you always.

    Overall, the food was not too bad. But it was really pricey.. Nonetheless, as long as the food was somewhat good and the company was great, it is still an awesome birthday dinner! Thank you so much to mummy dearest for organizing and treating all of us!

    My gifts from the night. As usual, when it comes to Chinese relatives, you'll get money rather than physical gifts. HAHA! But I ain't complaining, with these, I can pick up items in my wishlist! And it'll be from them all :)

    After dinner, I went out for yumcha with the bunch. My birthday ended with a yumcha session filled with weird ass jokes and catchups with good friends :)

    All in all, it was a good birthday! Feeling warm to be home but at the same time feeling a little tiny bit cold without the boyfriend.... haha

    Anyways, that's all for now!

    This should be my ending tagline, "I'll be back whenever I can! Soon.....? :D"

    Lots of love,
    Shereena.

  2. My 22nd Birthday Celebrations!

    Friday, July 19, 2013

    Heyyy!

    Sorry for the lack of updates!! I have been having too much fun and by the time I am home, I'll be too exhausted and all I will want to do is just lie in my blanket with the aircond on and just watched any shows of any kind. So lazy to even sit up straight and blog about the good time I have been having. And everything revolves around the word, FOOD!!! :DD All I do everyday is EAT and SLEEP like a big big pig HEHE :P

    I don't think I'll ever get to what I have been doing daily because I am taking the word HOLIDAY too literally and I am lazy all the time sooo....., the more memorable event updates will have to do for now! TEEHEE! :P

    Anyhoos, it was my birthday last Friday and I think I should commemorate on how I spent it :) I am now a 22 year old who still lazes around and eat like a fat slob :DDD

    Last Friday, on the 12 of July,

    I had a celebration with the family at my house. A small little potluck session and a gathering to meet up with the family and relatives. Family gatherings are important to me. Every single time I come home, I always tend to try and meet up with as many of them as I could. After all, life is very short. All I could do is treasure them whenever I could. So glad to see everyone healthy, well and happy!

    The night started with a very pretty coloured sky!

    It was purpleeeeee!! SO COOL AND PRETTY!! #noedit

    Then people started to arrive one by one and the rain also started to come by as well. It was a family gathering for about 30 pax? And I think we over estimated the capability of everyone's tummy. We had too much food and therefore leftover that lasted us another two meals.

    Some of the food. There were also fried chicken and mutton curry from wong soon kee but for some reason I forgot to take picture of them. And then there were also lamb satay. Total of 130 sticks of satays.

    My birthday cake! :)

    A really yums Red Velvet cake but with white chocolate coating instead of the conventional cream cheese coat.

    *some of the pictures. only those that I look decent in HEHEHE :P*
    Beloved pa and my por por!

    Mummy dearest! <3 Thanks for everything mi! Without you, I'll never be where I am today and I love you more than words can ever describe!

    Little J Boy! Look at his very VERY long eyelashes!! Your "ku che", me, super envy you! Anddd he has like a natural lightish brown hair! No fair.. 

    My birthday present to myself :) New pancake lens! WHEEEEE! So far, I am very happy with it!

    Skype session with the boyfie. Almost every year, he couldn't celebrate with me....): How saddd right.. But but, to make up for the distance in between us, he sang a birthday song for me :DDD And instantly, I had a wide smile on my face! LOVE YOU LOTS BII!! ♥♥

    Sunday, 14th of July,

    Had a belated celebration with some friends. I didn't make it as though it was a birthday celebration. It was more like a dinner night out with some friends who are free to chill together over nice food :)

    I decided on Jarrod & Rawlins @ AmpWalk! I always pass by the place and I think I first heard it from my mum because she always patronise good food places! Plus I've always been saying to myself, I want to go and try it out. And so, we did!

    But the place is pretty deserted because if no one knows where AmpWalk is, you'll prolly miss the mall as it is pretty old and there really isn't much in there. I think the only reason it is opened there is because Jalan Ampang is where all the embassies are and basically an area where the fine food and wine will be appreciated. 

    The five of us were the only people in the restaurant altho later on a couple came in but we literally took it as tho we were the only ones there because we were a constant chatterbox! Talking and laughing and laughing loudly, non stop! Altho, it may give you an impression that it is a not very nice restaurant due to it's quietness, but.. the food was awesome! 

    Super love my new lens! Look at that creamy background and the bokeh! Altho a 1.8 would be better but it'll cost me a thousand bucks more... ): Anyhoos, I am happy with this 2.8 already!! One day... ONE DAY a 1.8 lens will be in my hands! For sure!

    My dinner companies and yours truly :)

    This shall be up as my new facebook profile picture! :DDD

    *here comes all the foooood we had!*
    Steph's mushroom soup. Nice!

    Our deli platter to share! SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!! We finished it in less than 10 minutes. Everyone just went digging in with their forks and omnomnom-ing away! Before I even realised, everything was gone! Poof-ed!

    We had some mashed potatoes along with our deli platter. Nice too!

    Jun and YY ordered their schnitzel.

    Ferns' chicken something something.. I can't remember what it was HEHE

    My medium rare steak sandwich! Yums but too big portion for me. I only ate one and the other I gave it to ferns. HAHA! The bread was soft and the sauce was nice. The meat was juicy but a tad bit stringy but overall, it was good!

    A polaroid each to be kept and reminded always on our friendship. 11 years and counting!!! <3<3

    They will always and forever be in my life!

    Through the crazy and everything! I seriously couldn't stop laughing at myself in this picture!! Our cuckooness!! :DD

    Them whacky boys..

    The Rocket. An inside joke (:

    US! Dinner was niceeeeee :)

    After dinner we decided to head to Sky Bar for drinks. Or more like I wanted to go. HAHA!

    We didn't get to seat over at the windows that faces the twin tower because it was fully occupied and even if it is vacant, it has the reserved sign on it. The view on the other side is seriously my favourite! One day, I'll come back withe the boyfie and some close friends and just chill there and enjoy the view outside again. 

    This was how awesome the view is on the other side! I have to be back again and capture it with my camera! The last time I was here, the view was captured with my iPhone because my cammie was in surgery.. ):

    Me and YY shared their Jumbo sized Raspberry Mojito.

    We sat there till after 12am. After all, it was a Sunday night and Jun and YY needed to get to work the next morning. Thank you for the awesome night out peeps!

    I think I have grown out of the hype of celebrating my birthday with a big bang. I prefer simple conventional wishes and a gathering with the family and lastly a small small celebration with the close friends. I am liking it simple and spontaneous :D

    My outfit of the night!
    Lace dress: Su-estilo
    Studded Clutch: Dotti
    Spiked Heels: Dotti
    Accessories: Lovisa

    Uber love my outfit! Cobalt blue, lace, studs and spikes!

    I am not sure when I'll be back to update again because I have a full on schedule till next Sunday... I'll update whenever I could and whenever I decide to not be lazy lah ok?

    Because this Saturday morning I'll be flying to Singapore for 4 days and spending time with the girlfriends and their plus ones. My plus one is in Melbourne.. ): And then next Friday I am going down to Singapore AGAIN with the family till Sunday. And then, the following week's Saturday, I will be heading back to Melbourne already..

    Altho I am looking forward to see the boyfriend, I am not looking forward to leave Malaysia yet.. not looking forward to the end of my holidays yet...! 2 weeks till I am back to Melbourne and almost 3 weeks till my new semester begins... ): hmm hmm

    Wokays, time for bed! Heading out to Aman Suria's Betty's Midwest Kitchen for lunch with the boys tomorrow! I am on a food hunt! Without fail, everytime I come back from Melbourne, I'll definitely be on food hunts! HEHEHE fat die me but NEVERMIND! I am determined to lose the weight I gain when I get back to Melbourne :D

    Goodnight y'all!

    Love,
    sher xoxo.
