birthday registry


Regardless how old I am, or at least for as long as I will remember, I will have a birthday wishlist. I mean, isn’t it easier to tell people what you want, instead of them guessing and sometimes getting stuffs you may not want and don’t use? Quite wasteful, right?

Its like a registry, so you can keep track of what was gifted. In fact, I actually purchased some items myself, as part of my resolution to care for myself better.
Actually its an ongoing list lah.

This year, I aim to have the following items:

1)      Too Faced White Chocolate Bar eyeshadow
2)      Too Faced White Peach eyeshadow
3)      Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes eyeshadow
4)      Too Faced Sweet Peach eyeshadow
5)      Bodyshop Peppermint Feet Care
6)      Sand & Sky Pink Clay mask
7)      Laneige Sleeping Mask
8)      Benefit Bad Girl Mascara

9)    SF Egyptian Dress Blue
10)  Lulu Al Hadad Kaftan
11)  Nusheennura Marble Long Dress
12)  Desigual Bag

13)  Unicorn cake
14)  Mermaid cake
15)  Ondeh-Ondeh cake
16)  Teh Tarik cake
17)  Macaron

18)  HP
19)  Laptop
20)  Fossil Rose-Gold watch

21)  Lang Leav - Love & Misadventure // Lullabies // Memories // The Universe Of Us // Sad Girls // Sea of Strangers
22)  Rupi Kaur – Milk & Honey // The Sun and Her Flowers
23)  Jojo Moyes – Honeymoon in Paris // The Girl You Left Behind // The One Plus One // Paris for One
24)  Cecilia Ahern - One Hundred Names // How to Fall in Love // The Year I Met You // The Marble Collector
25)  #88lovelife – Volumes 1 + 2 + 3
26)  Origami books/kits
27)  Hand Lettering books/kits

Of course there’s other stuffs I bought that’s not in this wishlist, like the UD All Nighter Spray and Australis Primer. I hope I could stick to this list and get these collections.

Else, there's always next year's wishlist, insya Allah ;p

yes, she did it again.

as per tradition, mummy will always put together our wedding trays. wedding trays for my brother's solemnisation were no exception.

I JUST REALISED I NEVER UPLOADED ANY IMAGES OF MY WEDDING TRAYS!

so anyway, mummy did the trays for her son's solemnisation and i think it is equally elegant.

ive always advised her to not make the decorations extravagant, because we want the gifts to stand out, not the flowers or the bold colors or twigs or whatever. the idea is to show the gifts, so it would look pretty when pictures are taken, not show off the flowers. lol. i honestly cannot stand extensive decors on wedding trays because i just do not know what to look for - where is the gift? why is the flower so big/the color so bold? what should i be looking at??

knowing what gifts will be exchanged - food, scents, toiletries, handbags and watches, etc - would be extremely helpful because it helps to decide how big the trays would be and how the decorations would be. it also helps in what kind of decorations are needed - big petals, small petals, more leaves, just baby breaths, more pearls, less blings, etc etc.

and so my talented awesome mummy put together the entire wedding gift trays below, all are her idea, yes right down to the bunga rampai holders and sirih junjung:








although i do assist her occasionally, i do wonder if i can even match her creativity.

so whaddya think? can take in orders? hehehh.

in addition to wedding trays, we also DIY-ed the wedding favors for kids and adults.

we chose yellow/gold for the favors so they give a sense exclusivity and class.


before my wedding, i learnt that to add a touch of exclusiveness to the reception, it would be good to have glossy/shiny favors because the public would always have a second look at what's bling bling at the entrance of the reception. hence i chose silver packaging for my favors back in 2014.

similarly for this round, we chose gold. because, classy. and i loveddd how it turned out when we laid out the favors on the table. so much gold bars! hahahh.

so thats the DIY-decorations bit for my brother's wedding ceremony.

do send in emails for enquiries on wedding trays and wedding favors if you have any HEHEHEHEHH =D

the impulsive.


have you made a purchase and then regretted it within half an hour of buying?

mine was this:


its not that its expensive - two books for 25.00S$, by the way - neither are these books uneducational. its just that after buying, i thought to myself, i cant use these books to pay for my ezlink or lunch or something. whyyy the heck do i buy them now? i couldve used that money for other better things at the moment.

ah well, taking it positively, i may not get another good deal for these books, because original price was about 17.00S$ each...? in addition, it adds to my Paulo Coelho collection of books :) happy thought okay.

i hadnt even open the plastic cover to date.

the act of implusiveness. tskkk.
