Say Aah It's Your Birthday! Say Aah I know You're Thirsty!

Okay, maybe it is not the best song to let everyone know it's my birthday today because it's not Thursday and I am definitely not thirsty (but hungry at the moment). So wish me a happy birthday if you haven't already *no shame greedy face.

Surprise... Surprise...

I am not doing anything special for my actual birthday since it lands on a Tuesday, besides sleeping for 13 hours straight and didn't go to work. My kindness told me not to bother my friends either. Nah, you know I am just joking right? True story was they were insane for the birthday dinner they had with me on Friday! As we were eating dinner at the Japanese fusion Restaurant Asana at Mandarin Oriental Hotel, two of them stole my key and ran to my apartment to decorate!! Of course I didn't find out until after dinner they asked to come to my apartment to chill. I was in awe and speechless when I saw the decoration and wine and champagne and cake. Nobody has never done anything like that to me before. So overwhelmed >< I have the best friends!!!

Look at my overly dramatic face-_-

The Next Morning / sorry it's so messy!

The next morning I woke up to this, well, more like one of the ribbons fell onto my face and woke me up :) The card they gave me is also amazing. It lights up when it's open, and the birthday song music will follow suit once I "blow" the candles. Pretty Cool *Miley Cyrus voice.

Baby also cooked me noodles and gave me a fruit cake it hit 12am midnight, but they look more like they're for ancestors -____-

I should have more pictures for the weekend but I am still waiting to get them. So as for now I am going to share what I have got instead (and will update later). I feel like the age of getting luxury gifts are gone now. Maybe getting money is harder these days (instead of spending my parents), I'd rather spend money eating out with a group of good friends then getting a limited edition Prada purse. I hope my memories do not build upon materials... But getting myself nothing for birthday isn't acceptable either wtf, So...

 What I got for myself:

1) Free People Lacey Top - Look at the details, who can resist?

2) Kiehls Lip Balm Pear -  I hated the original, but saw my friend using this one and fell in love with the smell. Review soon ^^

3) BCBG heels - It was just a urge of femininity to buy heels since I a trying to embrace my age positively instead of killing myself

4) F21 heels - These shoes freaking suck! To all of you out there, never ever buy heels from F21. Rather spend your $20 on twin lobsters in Chinatown. It's so hard to walk in! I have already worn them so have to keep them. I bought a pair of silicon paddings but can't figure out where to put them, anyone knows?

What I have received:
5) Gift from Sephora
6) Wine from friends - one bottle is gone and saving another one for this weekend. Yumm

7) Photo prints from my beloved younger brother - I have been dying to have these prints for ages. All taken by him. Aren't they amazing!? Can't wait to frame them.

8) Marc Jacobs iphone case

9) Links London Bracelet - Gifted by my best friend from Hong Kong. She has the regular version and gave me this mini version from the trip to New York last month. She said so we can match since we are apart ><

It's one of the most memorable birthdays I have had. I simply can't thank everyone enough for everything! It's nothing superficial but filled with love <3 *cries

Sorry for the lack of reviews. March maria just happens to clash with my birthday and my best friend Tedi is coming to visit me from Oregon on Thursday til Monday so if time allows more random life bits and bites will be posted. Hopefully if I wasn't killed by then, more reviews will be on the way!

Spring has sprung! OOTD

Spring is back!! Typical weekend spending all day outdoor!

One of those weekends where it's TOO nice out, makes me completely overslept and my eyebags bigger than my eyes fml.

I have never realized camera angles can differ that much... See???

Last but not least, only for my dearest you(s)!

Hope you all have a great weekend too!
幸福不是必然。Simply enjoy the weather and treasure all the good things around us. Pray for Japan.

Chloe Eau de Parfum + Free People + Zara + F21 + Korean snacks and buns

Yet another shopping day for me!

I was originally going to check out the nordstrom anniversary sale that Everyone is talking about. I was drooling over this Nordstrom exclusive Dior "Ready to wear" palette. But surprise! I ended up not getting it because the eye shallows are not as dreamy and pigmented as I thought they would be. Its relatively sheer and frosty (wtf). I also dont think I would use the gloss on it often because of the form. The bronzer and the blush are gorgeous tho. So even its such a great deal ($56), I'd rather spend the money to buy couple full sized products that I truly like.

Anyway, now to the things that I actually purchased <3

I finally got the new Chloe perfume and can finally stop whining about getting it.
Sephora offers a box set with a 50ml perfume and a 100ml body lotion in a very pretty white box with Chloe printed on it. Ah love!

I have been using Versace Bright Crystal a lot. Its very sweet and summery thus I wanted somthing more sophisticated to wear at night. I am so hooked to this new Chloe scent since I first saw it in Korea more than half a year ago. I will do a perfume review later on :)

Talking about clothes shopping, how could I resist not going to Free People? As many of you already know, I am a huge Free People fan for many years. This time I picked up 2 dresses. I absolutely adore the super fun colorful braided halter on the 1st dress. The 2nd dress isnt anything special but as always, its FB cutting that fits me really well. It has the typical tank top string design of FP and I could also dress it up or down depends on my mood.

I also picked up this purse from Zara. I love the vintage design of it and the huge gem design on the front. I have been looking for this size of purses lately. Something that I could just grab and go with, but of which at the same time fits everything such as wallet, keys, a compact of powder and my camera in.

Not sure if its because I am getting old, I have been so forgetful lately. I recently lost my friend's audi key, my iphone, the one and only pair of glasses... and of course, numerous of earrings. How frustrating is to lose one of the earrings, right? I figured buying jewelry from Forever21 is perfect. Everything they sell is dirt cheap. The quality isnt all bad either. Just have to pick carefully. all comes to $20 only!

And you know me! How could a day be fulfilling without good food? I stocked up on Korean bakery and snacks for the whole week. Green tea, sweet potato, milk, cheese and melon bunss. Cup noodles, digestive, chocopie and seaweed. Yummmmm I cant wait to eat them all (ahem... I am actually already munching on the seaweed)


That's it! Hope you girls enjoy reading :D
