As many of you girls know, I am an avid Black Milk fan!
So, when they had their Hot Little Bosses 2 release, I grabbed a few pieces ..including their re-release of the Aurora Skye Leggings! I was hesitant on getting these for awhile, thinking they might look a little ..odd on me, but I eventually sucumbed to their beautiful colours! So yes, I wore this outfit to the maid cafe a few weeks ago :)
Black Milk Aurora Skye Leggings, Vu’s Roger Davids Sweater, Coat from Target, Daiso Usamimi, Tarocash Socks, Naughty Monkey Boot Heels, Music Note Necklace from Dealextreme and Puffy Turquoise lenses
I seem to have a habit of borrowing (and never returning) a lot of my boyfriend’s clothes! I think I have like jackets, sweaters, shirts and more that all belong to him hehe. I need to get more wahaha~
Do you borrow/steal clothes from a friend/bf ?

If you live in Melbourne, you might have heard about the recent Grand Opening of ”どきどき Station” !
どきどき Station (Doki Doki Station) is pretty much a mobile maid and butler café that offers not only entertainment, games, performances but also serve yummy desserts and beverages (whilst wearing maid / butler outfits of course)
 Photo of the Maids taken from their Facebook Page I was lucky enough to be invited to the Grand Opening by the manager, Angela ♥
She’s a good friend of mine, so when Angela asked if I would like to come along to write a blog post for どきどき Station, I was pretty excited! I have never experienced an actual maid cafe before, so the only expectations that I had were based off the internet/japanese shows, which was mainly: cute girl in a maid outfit serves you yummy food!
 Got to get a photo taken with some of the cute maids ♥
 Thank you to Manager Angela for inviting me over to the Grand Opening! Were my expectations met? Definitely!
There were plenty of sweet, cute maids present, including the beautiful Phuju!
I think I was able to speak to nearly all of them, as they were sweet enough to start up conversations with us whilst we were waiting for our food to arrive. We were also entertained half way with an enjoyable dance performance of ’Secret – Shy Boy’ from maid Maiko! I also believe that apart from the food&drinks menu, they also had a game / service menu in which you could choose certain activities to do whilst at the café. (which I didn’t get a chance to do)
 Phuju being adorbs and drawing 'the most artistic thing' on my plate <3  Vu and I shared the 'いちごKiss" plus an ice-tea and cappacino ! (Cute usagi picture down by Phuju!) どきどき Station is still in their early stages, so I can’t wait to see how big this becomes! And hopefully they’ll be able to open in an actual restaurant/café more than just once a week when that time comes!!
So yes, if you’re free on a Sunday, definitely check them out!
And head over to their Facebook page to find out more information ♥

Hello hello! It seems that I have a few blog posts lined up!
So, let’s start them off with a review post of the EOS G-322 Turquoise lenses from mukuChu ♥ !
When I first received these I was pretty stoked since I’ve never really had a turquoise lens – blue and green ,yes – but never turquoise! And these had the two type of tone (yellow inside and the turquoise outside) colour which I haven’t used quite that much! So yes, I was quite excited to try these out when they came in the mail the other day :)
Review: EOS G-322 Puffy Turquoise
You can buy them here
POWER/PRESCRIPTION: -0.00 (Plano) Only *
LENS USAGE: UP TO 1 YEAR
SHELF LIFE: 3 YEARS
MANUFACTURER / ORIGIN: SOUTH KOREA
MATERIALS: 2Hema
B.C.: 8.8mm
DIAMETER: 14.50mm
WATER CONTENT: 38%
*Strangely though, mine weren’t plano and were actually prescribed. So I’m not entirely sure what is up with that! I assume you can contact mukuCHU and ask them if they stoke prescription ones if you’re after these babies!
 Left: Taken outdoors with make up | Right: Taken indoors without makeup Colour: ♥♥♥♡♡ – I loved the turquoise colour, but I felt like they weren’t as bright and that the colour didn’t stand out. This isn’t to say that they aren’t noticeable, because people could tell that they were a turquoise colour.
Design: ♥♥♥♥♡ - I quite like the two tones in these lenses! It made it less ‘fake’ and a little more normal. Especially since there isn’t a thick, bold black ring surrounding the circumference of the lens!
Comfort: ♥♥♥♡♡ - I’m not sure if it was just me (pretty sure it was) but I had a headache whilst I was wearing them. But, the overall ‘comfort’ of the eye was quite alright – didn’t dry up as fast as others I’ve tried.
Enlargement: ♥♥♥♡♡ – Wasn’t a huge difference for 14.5, especially since there wasn’t a large ring, but rather just a darker blue framing the lens. There was also a lot of clear space making up the space around the lens.
Overall: ♥♥♥♥♡ – Despite all this, I actually liked it quite a lot! They’re much more ‘natural’ than some of my other lenses and hence allows me to wear it on a daily basis! But of course, not that great for cosplay.
 Comparison photo in natural lighting indoors  Photo taken in natural lighting indoors  Photo taken with flash indoors These lenses are definitely something to try out if you’re aiming for different colour eyes without freaking out the people around you! I would not recommend these to anyone who wants lenses for cosplay purposes, but rather people who want to wear colour lenses on a daily basis! So yes, go check them out at mukuChu over here!

Do you like or dislike the black rings on circle lenses?

A couple of weeks ago, I attended Melbourne’s Supanova, a pop culture expo!
I wasn’t really too sure if I wanted to go ..but, I had to when I heard the Phelp twins were going!! For those who don’t know, the Phelp twins are the actors that played the Weasley twins in the Harry Potter movies! ♥
Yes, they are extremely tall (but I am quite short ..) and had such dazzling smiles asfkjkf-♥
As you can see, I am quite a Harry Potter nerd! I’ve read the books a billion times and watched all the movies ..and I even have a wand D: ! Haha. But yes, I do believe that this is the first time I’ve ever met a famous person ..so I guess I was quite starstruck hehe! (although not as much as those girls who started crying after taking a photo with them)
Anyway, short post today as I didn’t take that many photos at Supanova :)
Who would you fangirl over if you met?
I have a long list of stars I’d fangirl over ..but for example: Harry Shum Jr, Ninomiya (or any of the Arashi members), Johnny Depp, Jeremy Renner, Tom Felton, Ed Westwick, Ian Somerhalder… etc
At this moment, I have three Black Milk pieces ..although after Thursday… *cough
These are Retro Gamers and although I wasn’t sure if I’d like them initially, when they arrived .. I was so over the moon!
Prescription Glasses (Ray Bans), Ah Munna Eat Chu Tee (Threadless), Retro Gamer Leggings (Black Milk), Domo-kun Jumper (Jayjays), Socks (from Gerry!), Boot Heels (Naughty Monkey)
I actually had no idea what to wear with the leggings at first; but I settled on the Domo-kun Jumper!
It felt quite fitting as I wore this to my last day as a committee member of SAMA! I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I first got elected in to the position (see here); and although stressful, I can say it was an awesome time spent with some pretty cool people! But yes, it was a sad thing to let go of ..yet so relieved that I no longer have responsibility!
 Committee 2011-12: Oj, Brad, Jimmy, Andy, Evan, Xin and I ♥  Committee Old+New: Brad, Jimmy, Ash, Jack, Xin, Lawrence, Andy, Cindy, Oj,Wong, Charleen, Evan and I So yes, Congratulations to our successors! It was a fun time and hopefully you guys will do an awesome job~
Anyway, I absolutely love these leggings, although I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to style them hmm. Not really sure if I want to dress them up or dress them down since they’re already quite a ‘flashy’ piece hehe. ♥
What do you think?
How would you wear these Retro Gamers?
Hello hello! How has everyone been doing?
Some time ago, I bought a Groupon Voucher for $89 (~$273.60 in value) to a Six-Course Malaysian Chinese for Four Meal at ‘Little Nyonya’ which is situated in Docklands! So last Saturday, after I finished work, I finally got to use the voucher and eat the awesome 6-course dinner with my parents and younger brother!
When we finally got there, the venue was beautiful!
My mum is actually Nyonya-Baba so she was commenting on every little thing that had some sort of resemblance in the actual restaurant and outfits haha. And she requested for the food to come all at once, rather than a course like thing – cos she thinks it’s more fun to have everything out and ready heh. It makes eating more fun and exciting lol ♥
Everything here is for four people; if there were two, it’d be half of this.
And everything shown is included in the $89; so we did not need to pay for anything extra on the night itself.
 Course 1: Acar pickle salad with cucumber, carrot, cabbage, French beans, cauliflower, pineapple, crispy ground peanuts and sesame seeds (x2) This was really nice, although mum says it doesn’t taste exactly like how she remembers it to.
 Course 2: Loh Bak spiced pork strips and fragrant spices, wrapped in tofu skin with sweet chilli sauce (x2) This was the best dish of the night, despite me not really like pork! But it was delicious mm.
 Course 3: Won ton soup of fresh prawns in pastry, cooked in anchovy-infused broth (1 per person) The soup tasted nice but I don’t eat prawns, so I just gave the won tons to my brother!
 Course 4: (L) Kai Lan roast pork, stir-fried and served with fresh Chinese broccoli and (R) Tender Rendang beef with herbs and fine coconut slithers, slowly cooked in traditional rich curry I didn’t eat the roast pork, but the rendang was so good and tender! My mum cooks this a lot so it was nice to try this at a restaurant! The only downside to it in my opinion was that it wasn’t spicy at all (which my family and I are used to)
 Course 5: (L) Vegetable curry with cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, broccoli and eggplant and (R) Curry chicken in fragrant spices, lemongrass and coconut milk This again wasn’t that spicy but was still nice. I liked the chicken curry more than the vegetable one :)
 Course 6: Ice Cendol shaved ice with green flour jelly and red beans in coconut milk and special sugar syrup We each got to choose either this or Bur bur Chacha, and we all chose the cendol. I didn’t like it much because I don’t really like coconut, but dad loved it since he hasn’t had this in like over 20 years or something!
Anyway, the food was quite nice and we’re thinking of going back to try their actual menu.
I do recommend this place if you’re looking for some yummy Malaysian food to eat ♥

Hello lovely people~
It’s been the Easter break for the past week, and it’s been so good to procrastinaterelax!
Anyway, Vu and I ventured in to the CBD yesterday to meet a couple of lovely Melbourne bloggers! Out of the 7 other bloggers that came, I had already met three ..so it was quite exciting to meet completely new bloggers! ♥
 (L-R) Megu, Lis, Sue, Stephanie, May, Myself, Jess, Tam We chose to eat at Rainbow World (which you may remember from here)
It was $22.80 per person and ..I’m pretty sure I didn’t eat my money’s worth hehe but it was still heaps fun!
It was a little hard to talk over the table so I did not really get to speak to everyone as much as I wanted to, but it was still good fun! There were funny moments here and there as Sue drank her chilli spiciness away, and everyone impatiently waiting for mango pudding! It was great to be able to laugh, take photos and joke around with other bloggers!
But yes, overall, today was pretty much an awesome day!
Although it was slightly awkward at first, I can’t wait for more and more events to be planned out so I can meet these girls again (and hopefully more) ! So thank you guys for coming and making it such a fun day! Anyway, definitely go check out each of their blogs (they might blog about the day as well!) and follow them all ! ♥
Bloggers that came: Sue, Tam, May, Stephanie, Jess, Megu and Lissy
But yes, if you’d like to join us next time, do join our Facebook Group!
Ps. I’ll be at Supanova this Sunday, so do say Hi to me if you’re going too! ^_^”
Firstly, I promised Vu I would post this photo up when it was the Easter weekend…
Anyway, I was supposed to be blogging about my Black Milk Galaxy Leggings..
But I feel like the photos I have taken do not give them enough justice ..so, that post has been postponed!
So, for I went to a The Heat Group’s Make Up sale the other weekend. And well, I had a massively stressful exam the day before so .. I may have gone a little crazy. But yeah, mum paid for the make up as a treat on completing the exam ! ♥
But yes, this is what I managed to get ..for $82 (plus a free hair pack for purchasing something)
The things that were really cheap, and the most expensive item were those ‘packs’ which were about $10 or something. But the rest were no more than $5! All those Ulta3 / NYC nail polishes were $1 each so ..I just .. kind of ..you know… when a little bit spaz with stuff. But not all of them were for me so it’s okay!
But yes, here’s just a closer look at some of the different types of products that were bought.
But yeah, some of the products are unopened testers ..so I’m thinking of putting them in to some sort of case thing so they can be opened like a palette? Er.. if you kind of understand what I mean haha. But yeah! I’ve only tried out a few of the products (blusher and eyeshadows) and I quite like them so far! I’d do a review on them ..but I don’t think my expertise in make up is good enough for me to do that haha. But yeh ^__^”! ♥
Okay, I said I wasn’t going to post about Black Milk ..but dammit, here’s some photos cos I love them too much!
They can have a billion posts dedicated to them because they are THAT awesome mwahah! But yes, the left are the Purple Galaxies and the right are the Black Galaxies! I can’t choose which I love more but either way, expect to see me wearing them a lot hehe. Need MOAR BLACK MILK. I am officially an obsessed sharkie now hehe ♥
If you had to choose one make up product to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Ps. Sue and I created a FB group for Melbuorne Blogger Outings ..so if you’re a Melbourne blogger, join our group :D! We’d love to meet you all in real life wahha (we aren’t psycho killers ..I promise)
On the 30th March, Vu and I celebrated our second year anniversary ♥
I can’t believe time has flown by so fast yet at the same time, so slow! It feels as if we’ve been together for years but yet, I can’t believe two years have already gone past so quickly? I don’t even know what I’m saying heh.
We started the day off with …a Chinese test! Haha. But that went alright :)
Anyway, usually we eat at Japanese restaurants, but we decided that we wanted to try something different! So we went to Creperie le Triskel, which is a French Breakfast and Lunch Cafe. (I should mention that we’ve never gone out for breakfast together before …mainly because we like to sleep in hehe) Anyway, the place was beautiful and the waitress was really kind as she explained all the French names on the menu (in her French accent) heh!
We ordered: La Printaniere (Smooth Ricotto, Fresh Tomato, Spinach and Proscuitto with Walnuts) and La Mongolfiere (Vanilla Ice Cream, Whipped Cream, Mixed Berries and Chocolate) ! We decided to get a savoury and sweet, and they were definitely both super delicious mmm. Definitely recommend this place if you want some crepes! ♥
Anyway, time jump to about 4 hours after we ate this!
We indulged in some chicken tenderloins and a delicious cake at Caffe Moretti ♥
Oh but, I should mention that in between, we also had a Chicken Katsu Bento. And then AFTER eating the tenderloins, Vu decided he was still hungry and ate Teriyaki Chicken Udon Noodles!! I was so confused as to why he was so hungry lol!! But I thought he was being an adorable fatty! (Story of our relationship: THIS picture ♥)
For our anniversary, Vu bought me two Black Milk galaxy leggings!!!!!
They are AMAZING and I love them to death!! Will write about them in the next post!
♥ ♥ ♥
I don’t think there is anyone I feel more comfortable with than with him.
