19th Birthday Celebration

Before i start sharing with you about how my 19th birthday celebration went, i would like to make a BIG thank you to my Kendall Jenner, my BAE, Nabilah Atikah for all the efforts and work you did to make my 19th Birthday a blast! 

It all started early in the morning on 18th of January 2015. I was told to follow her to East Coast Park to meet her parents for a picnic session. I was nervous because i've never met her family before. She fetched me from home and we made our way to East Coast Park. 

I didn't have any weird feelings or thinking of anything fishy at that point of time until....we walked to one of the hut/pavilion. I was blank because i didn't see any food? I didn't see any drinks? All i could see was these four girls squatting down and before i start to guess who, it was my colleagues, Aisyah, Kaka, Wani and Hawa! 

I WAS SHOCKED AND SPEECHLESS. They bought cakes, foods and balloons for me. I was so happy and all we did was spend time at ECP, took lots of photos before we head to Festive Hotel for another birthday celebration(not mine) of my colleague.  

Made our to Festive Hotel and chilled out with the rest of my colleagues. Hanged around and played games, laugh at the jokes and more! 

After the main "birthday girl" came and we suprised her with cakes and presents, again, i didn't know anything, they asked me to turn around and they bought me a rainbow cake with my face on it! All thanks to Nabilah and my colleague who planned it! 

After all those celebration, we head to Liang Court and karaoked all the way till late night. I went home early because i was so tired and i spent the whole day being outside! 

I had a total of three celebrations for my 19th Birthday! The last celebration was with my friends, we had Seoul Garden! Nabilah did it again by blindfolding me for the suprise! 

It was indeed a very nice and wonderful celebration for my 19th Birthday! Thank you to all of you who was involved in planning for my special day! Big thanks to my Nabilah Atikah and the rest of my babygirls for everything. Thank you everyone! I will definitely cherish all the gifts and love you guys forever! 

KL TRIP 2014

Hello there my readers! I am sorry for the very very very long hiatus, i know i've said this millions of times that i'm sorry for neglecting this blog. Since i'm already a free girl now, i will continue to blog as much as possible. 

In today's post, i am going to blog about my KL Trip back in December 2014. This trip was my first overseas trip with my friends. We planned to go on a holiday trip after our hardwork during the four months of internship. God knows how hard it was to convince my grandma to allow me to go on this trip. At first, we planned to go to Hong Kong but due to the protest that was going on, we decided to bring it down to Bandung but, my friend isn't allowed to go to anywhere else besides Kuala Lumpur. So, KL it is :) 

My girls and I was the organizer of the trip. I was the one who did all the admin stuff. Initially, we thought of travelling by flight to KL, but since our budget was on the lower side, we took a coach to KL. 

I booked through a very popular bus coach called Aeroline. Aeroline travels to different destination from Singapore. You can travel directly from Singapore to Sunway Lagoon, Penang and Kuala Lumpur(Corus Hotel). 

15 December 2014

Our bus was scheduled to depart at 9.30am and it did. The journey was about 5 and a half hours(due to the jam at the checkpoint) it could be lesser than that because the driver will only make one pit stop for the whole journey. We arrived in KL around 4pm and we checked in immediately at Corus Hotel after alighting from the bus. 

 

   

 

After resting for a few hours, we decided to go out and explore the areas near our hotel. Our hotel is located near a shopping mall called Avenue K. Not only that, our hotel is only 3 minutes away from the famous Twin Tower, KLCC. We had dinner at Nandos and did some shopping at H&M and some other stores. Trust me, Malaysia's H&M is the best place to shop in December! Sales everywhere! Although most of the items are controlled items and its about the same price as Singapore, if you convert it to the exchange rate when you change your money, it it way much cheaper than Singapore! All hail Malaysia's H&M! Afterwhich, we did some groceries shopping so that we can stock up the fridge with some food and snacks. Went back to the hotel and that was the end of day one. 

16 December 2014

Second day in KL. All of us woke up early in the morning and made our way to Pavilion to have our breakfast and we had Subway. Our plan on that day was to go to Berjaya Times Square Theme Park and go karaoke. After breakfast, we walked around Pavilion and i kind of splurged at NARS and bought some good make up from the store. NARS doesn't have an official store in Singapore hence that's the reason why i decided to go to NARS. We asked the make up assistant to try some foundation and concealer on us and i finally settled down for the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer (RM100) and NARS Audacious Lipstick in Ingrid (RM95) in total, i only spend about $70+. Cheap right?! Heaven on Earth!!! *put hands up in the air* 

We walked from Pavilion to Berjaya Times Square because it is only about a good 15 minutes walk? Here's some of the photos that we took near Bukit Bintang Walk while we were on our way walking. 

The entry fee for the indoor theme park at Berjaya Times Square is RM47 if i'm not wrong. We bought the package that comes with the haunted house ticket as well. Our first ride was the rollercoaster ride. Heard so much about the ride, how it was unsafe and how people fell while they was on the ride but thank god, it all went well during my ride :) After the rollercoaster ride, we tried the DNA MIXER and hell yes, it was a wrong decision that we made to ride it for our second ride. The ride was insanely annoying. It shakes us up vigorously to the extend that all of us got so exhausted and giddy after the ride. 

Please, I warn you, DO NOT ride on this DNA MIXER if you have low tolerance of rides that makes you go round and round or if you really want to try this shit out, make it the LAST ride of the day. Trust me. You will regret it. 

All of us felt so sick so we tried around 2 more rides and we even skipped the haunted house. All of our plans to go karaoke was push backwards because everyone was just so cranky and exhausted. We decided to go to Petaling Street (Round 1) to shop for some stuff and i bought hell lots of things! 

We couldn't find any nice restaurants over at Petaling so we went to the supermarket had dinner at our hotel room. End of day 2. 

17 December 2014 

Early wake up call, yet again! We left our hotel around 9.30am and took a cab from our hotel to Sunway Lagoon! The last time i've been here was i think back in 2002? I can't remember. 

Our very kind and friendly taxi driver that we hired during our trip, decided to bring us to a local Travel Agent and buy our tickets from them. Sunway Lagoon ticket which is inclusive of the Outdoor Thene Park and Waterpark + Go Kart is about RM105-110(depending on what activity) which is only less than SGD 40. 

Thank god for my waterproof camera that i brought, i was able to capture some photos at the waterpark. 

   (NO MAKE UP WATER POOL SELFIE) 

We spent almost the whole day at the park. Tried most of the outdoor rides and the rest of them went to the haunted house and i didn't because i have really bad tolerance with haunted house. After a long tiring day, we called our driver to bring us to Petaling Street as we want to find dinner over at that side and we did some shopping (Round 2) and went back to the hotel by the Rapid KL train. By the time we all got back to our hotel, we were all so drained out! 

I will rate Sunway Lagoon a 6/10. Adventure Cove is way much better than this! 

18 December 2014 

Day 4 of our KL trip! 

All of us knocked out the night before and woke up at 1pm. We were supposed to go do some Cafe Hopping but it was cancelled because all of us woke up late. I wanted to go up to Genting Highlands or go hike Bukit Tabur so badly but none of them are on it! We decided to go to Berjaya Times Square and go karaoke. 

3 hours of Karaoke = RM28 with one meal and free flow of drinks. You won't be able to get this in Singapore! 

After shouting and singing our hearts out, we finally decided to go to one of the most popular rooftop bars in KL, The Helipad. We took the Rapid KL to Raja Chulan station and walked to Menara KH. That is where The Helipad is located at. There is no entrance fee to enter but you must be in formal or smart casual clothings and also get a drink (it doesnt have to be an alcoholic drink) before you can go up to the top and chill. 

    360 Degrees View of Kuala Lumpur 

I was in love with the view of KL but we only spend around 20 minutes at the top because we wanted to explore other things. We went to Masjid India afterwards but most of the shops are closed so we had dinner at a nearby stall and walked back to our hotel from Masjid India all the way to Corus Hotel. It was a long walk, around 45 minutes walk? But it was good because we got to pass by some good places like KLCC, Zouk and other places. It was also a scary walk because we are not familiar with the road and also it was quite quiet at that time. 

We all decided to just sleep late on our last night and all i knew was i slept at 5am. 

19 December 2014 (last day) 

I woke up at 8am and decided that i will go do some last minute shopping at Avenue K with Nabilah and yes, i went to H&M again, to shop and got a few more items. I also went to Factory Outlet Store, Nichii and etc to buy all the good clothes that i can before it was time to go home. We also had Nandos for breakfast!

Checked out of the hotel at 1pm and chilled out at Aeroline Lounge for Aeroline Guest while waiting for our bus. Our bus got delayed till 4pm. We left Kuala Lumpur and reached Singapore around 9.30pm? And guess who was the most busiest girl ever? Who came with only one luggage and went back with one luggage, two backpacks, one paper bag? 

By the time i got back to Singapore, i was already broke but, i was satisfied with the trip and the shopping that i did in Kuala Lumpur! I would love to just come back and shop! I am already missing KL and my friends so badly. Looking forward for the next trip maybe in March or April! 

Now, that was a lengthy post! I hope this post will make it up to all of my readers out there! I will try to post about my 19th Birthday Celebration in a few days time, alright? 

Lots of Love,

Errah Athirah :) 

Food Review: Papa Rich @ West Gate Mall a

A proper post today!

I've been to WestGate Mall once or twice with my friends after school. My mum has never been to any shopping mall near Jurong East except for Jcube and IMM. We decided to go shopping at IMM and then walk around West Gate. Mum wanted to try something different for dinner on that day and we found...

About a year or two ago, Papa Rich wasn't halal in Singapore and it got halal recently! 

I've never been to any Papa Rich Restaurant before but i know that Papa Rich in Malaysia is halal (almost all the restaurants are halal in Malaysia.) 

We decided to dine in at Papa Rich. 

Mum had the Asam Laksa, my sister got the Chicken Rice and i got the "Ipoh Kway Teow Soup."

Mum said that the Asam Laksa was alright and for me, the noodles are just...ok. Not so great but i will definitely buy it whenever i want to have something light and not spicy. I was actually looking forward to have tom yum noodles but there no tom yum soup in the menu. *sad face*

I rate this restaurant 8/10. I wish it could have more food in the menu. 

A nice and decent dinner for a first timer! 

Next up to try is the Japanese Teppanyaki! Been wanting to try it for such a long time but i have to wait until fasting month is over. 

Can't wait to enjoy all those great food again! 

*drools* 

ANYWAY,

Just to let you guys know. I am now very very active on Youtube. I've been filming a lot these past few weeks. I'm currently trying to bring my channel up on Youtube. 

I've decided that my Youtube channel will be a Beauty/Music channel

and 

I'm going to upload at least 1 or 2 videos per week (depending on how long i'll take to edit one video) if i edit fast, i'll post 2 videos!

Here's the latest video that i posted last night!

Ignored.

Ignored. I'm sure everyone has ever felt that way before. Being ignored by your family and friends. Family don't usually ignore each other unless they really hate you or something but i'm sure everyone has ever been ignored by a friend or you ignore a friend. What i'm about to share today in this blog post are things that i have gone through sometime ago...

I just don't understand myself sometimes. 

I put in effort to show to others that i love them and care for them but none of them realized it. During my secondary school days, i had so many crushes on guys. Some were REAL crushes and the others was just a normal crush. There's this guy in my class whom i like so much, i gave him signals, made efforts to show to him that i'm interested in him indirectly but...nothing worked out. I had to confess to him and... I GOT REJECTED. 

I don't understand why. Maybe it was just too early for everything? Maybe. I feel ignored after the confession that i made to him. Everything was just so awkward at that point of time. 

(but we're somehow close friends now, we will text each other once in a while and i'm thankful for that.) He's now a history, lol. 

Last year, 2013.

(I know, i was in a relationship last year but it only lasted for 2 weeks or so, i can't remember) 

There's this guy that i met at another college. Again, he's just another crush but...

I was interested in him so much just like when i like that guy in my secondary school days. We met twice. I still remember i had butterflies in my stomach when i met him 

at Starbucks with my friends. I think he knew that i sort of have a crush on him but he didn't make it obvious, i guess? My friends was so supportive of me liking him, well, that's the least that i know? Maybe they don't but they act like they do. I don't know. 

We talked, we mentioned each other on Twitter and then in December, it was his birthday. He like donuts, strawberries and he wished to get a helium balloon for his 17th birthday (that's what he tweeted on Twitter)

I, woke up early in the morning to travel all the way to downtown Singapore, to get donuts and strawberries. Travel to two different places, to get all the stuff FOR HIM. 

YES, FOR HIM. 

I waited, 2 hours under his apartment block. I didn't had his number at that time so i sent him a Direct Message on Twitter to let him know that i was waiting downstairs with presents for him since it's his birthday. He came down and i could see that he was quite shocked.  We took some pictures and then i left. 

I know, if we like someone, we have to put in the effort to let them know or at least make them notice us. 

My 18th Birthday. 

My girlfriends, invited him(that guy that i suprised) to celebrate my 18th birthday together. He told my girlfriends that he will come to celebrate my birthday in return to what i did for his birthday but...the night before my birthday, he backed off. He told one of my girls that he couldn't make it and therefore we should just go ahead without him. I didn't know that he was invited until he texted me and say "I'm sorry i couldn't make it to your birthday but i'll make it up to you one day with donuts."  

I was shocked. I never thought that my friends will actually invite him. I told him that its fine that he couldn't join us (hoping that he will actually change his mind and actually go.)

Up till today...he never came back to make it up to me. We mentioned each other on Twitter sometimes and there was once he said "oh i still haven't get you donuts." and i was happy that he remembered but yeah, still no sign of him up till today. And guess what? 5 months has passed, he had a girlfriend, broke up with her and now he's dating another girl. I'm sure he dated more than 2 or 3 girls in the past 5 months. 

I was there all along, waiting for him, not like i want him so badly that i would jump down a building. But, all i wanted was him to just notice what i did for him. I know its not that much but i put in so much efforts but everything just doesn't get to where i want it to be. I don't know if i'm cursed or what but seriously...i have made so much efforts in letting someone know that i care for them and all i ever get in return is...

BEING AND GETTING IGNORED. 

It's not fun. 

I'm more stable now like i'm happy with my life being around  my family and friends. I think that the guys that I've dated previously has made me change my perspective of guys. I think that most guys are the same, except some. If you're lucky enough, you will find someone that is not the same like the rest. Therefore, after all this that happened to me in my past, i have finally made a decision that i'm just gonna let everything go with the flow, wait for the right time and all i want to do now is to cherish and ENJOY life as much as i can because i'm not sure if i'm guaranteed another day to live my life. 

I will wait for that right person to come and prove to me that not all guys are the same. I will wait for the day to come. 

Trust me, being happy is the best thing the world. 

I know i'm stronger than this. 

I just hope that one day, all this people will realized those that are standing right in front of their eyes all this while.. and regret the things that they did not do rather than the things that they did. (: 

Love, 

Athirah (: 

Medium Ash Brown Hair

After a long long long period of time with dark brown/black hair, I finally decided to change up my hair color once again. The last time i had crazy colors on my hair was during my school holidays last year. Since i ended school earlier this month, i have actually planned to color dark royal blue to my hair but my mum didn't allow me to do so. I took some time to search around the internet for colors that are suitable for my hair and i finally found the color that will go well!


Medium Ash Brown.

I'm on a budget this month because it's the school holidays and i will need money if i were to go out with my friends so i decided to buy the normal Revlon Hair Dye that is available at any drugstore. Thank god i found the color that i wanted. The last time i dyed my hair Alphine Green, i didn't bleach it properly so the color didn't came out that much so i learnt my lesson and i make sure that i bleach it properly this time and here's the process of bleaching my hair.

I've never EVER seen myself having such bright color on my hair so i was a bit in shock when the color came out. My mum saw it too and she said that i look like a witch. I blow dried my hair so that i could start dyeing my hair to the color that i wanted. I'm using Revlon's Medium Ash Brown in number 40. 

Yes, $4.50 only so cheap! 

I waited for 30 minutes for the color to set and washed it off. Blow dried my hair again and here's the final results. I ended everything at 2AM last night, haha. 

This was taken today. The color was more visible indoors and also under the sunlight. 

I am loving my new hair color and i'm planning to re-dye it again once i start to see black roots and keep on re-dye it over and over again till i get bored of it. Now, what i can hope for is that, my attachment place will allow me to have colors on my hair. *prays hard* 

Waiting for my McDonalds to arrive now

Hope this post helps!

Love,

Nene Chicken @ Bedok Mall

Tried Nene Chicken for the first time yesterday with my secondary school friends. We decided to have dinner at Nene Chicken since most of us haven't tried it before. At first, I thought that Nene Chicken was like KFC, just normal fried chicken with fries and a coke. Amirah told me that Nene Chicken is from Korea so the chicken is cooked in Korean-Style. Basically the chicken is coated in different type of sauces. There's cheese sauce, Swicy Chicken, Freaking Hot and more like Sesame Chicken. The chicken are served with Buffalo Wings which i think tastes similar as McDonald's Twister Fries.

 The set meal and i ordered some 'NenePoP' as my side dish. It's just popcorn chicken. And if you know me, I like spicy food so i ordered the Freaking Hot Chicken and extra Freaking Hot Sauce. I swear it is FREAKING HOT. I had to buy 2 cups of Coke Light because the chicken is too spicy but its sooooooooooo goood (: 

I don't even know why it's called Buffalo Sticks. It's not made from Buffalo but...haha, it taste just like McDonald's Twister Fries. Definitely gonna get this when i'm craving for twister fries.  

  Omg, craving for it again now.  *.*

One weird thing: They will serve you plastic gloves to use when you eat the chicken and it was my first time eating with gloves on so that explains why my face in the third picture, haha. The actual reason why they gave you the glove is because...there's so sink for you to wash your hands after eating. I still don't get it why there's no sink for us to wash our hands. Maybe this is a traditional way of eating at Nene Chicken? 

Haziqah had to leave so that explains why we had to take pictures with her first. We ended up walking around Bedok Mall. I bought some sushi, chocolates before going home. Thank god Bedok Mall is just a few metres away from my home. 

Had a great dinner with girls! Hope to hang around with you guys again soon! 

Love,

Athirah
