MINION PARTY; MY 21ST BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

How timely but.... I guess I'm about almost exactly a month late hehe
but I have so many pictures to deal with that I keep procrastinating editing all and blogging, but no no
told myself I have to clear up all the worked that's piled up by this month!

So just about a month ago, I turned 21!!! *pops confetti*
Although I found no reason to be particularly excited about since.. I'm already legal to do almost everything and the only thing that's new would be to enter the casino? I don't gamble so it's not exactly
a plus point to me. Haha, just another year older and hopefully I get wiser too LOL

I didn't have anything planned (as I said in my previous blog post) so I remembered I was working on
my pre-bday weekend, and my aunt told me she would take me out and send me home after which
wasn't anything suspicious or anything... and upon reaching home I realized there's a party going on..
which is obviously my surprise party!!! I was quite slow, I still thought it was one of the other BBQs that my mum have always been throwing every now and then
and it wasn't until I realized all the guests were.. MY FRIENDS... Super touched and grateful and happy okay, everyone did such a good job keeping it as a secret. 
everything was in place! Decor, food... people I love.. everything!!!
I was so happy, never have I seen my rooftop so 'happening' before okay, I took quite awhile to adjust to everything. heheh was dam surprised and omg.... just... speechless >.<

best part was the HUGEEEE MINION BACKDROP!!!
Omg I was literally trying to hug it when I saw it, hahahahahaha love it soooo much!!!
And of course without my lovely aunt who are the brains behind the surprise, she created a wapp group
chat and added all my friends and planned it together. Thank You Tams for helping photoshop the minions so my aunt could get the backdrop printed 
and if you've realized, you see my aunt is dressed like a minion as well. Hhahaha
and coincidentally when she picked me up from work, I was observing what she wore and I told her
"did you realize you're wearing minion colors, and you look like one also"
HAHHHHHAHHH guess she was dressed for the occasion!
I look super undressed............ and out of point. Pardon me I just ended work that day hence...... yeah.
I was also super happy to see my entire family dressed in theme! Apparently the day before my mum and aunts went out to shop for yellow and blue clothing. Hahahahahahhaha

with my dearest aunts, closest family friends and parents 
with the boys in my family!
and for the first time ever..... here's my dearest baby brother!!!
I don't think he ever agreed to take a proper picture with me (unless forced to haha)


三姐妹s for life!!! 

Next surprise was my cupcakes!!! Minion cupcakes!!! Too cute or what!??!!?!??!

My birthday cupcakes!!!
sponsored by none other than MY SISTER BAKES!
I've worked with them before (read previous post HERE) and I absolutely LOVE their cupcakes!!!
I decided to have cakes on my actual birthday just a day before and I realized it was super last minute 
but I decided to try my luck and asked E* whether I could have them done and she said YES!
Didn't have a design in mind so I just told her something girly... pink.... and on the day itself when I 
went down to collect them, she told me she decided to follow my invitation to Zouk and decided to add in the Despicable Me unicorn as part of the decor.
HOW FREAKING CUTE!?!?!?!?!??!?!?????
I was just squealing about it in the car to my aunt cos it was so cute and another awesome birthday surprise! She also made the cupcakes in my favorite flavors so 50bonus points for that hehe.



Brought them to Zouk and they were wiped out very quickly! Guess it filled everyone's tummy before partying and all my friends liked it so much ;)

MY SISTER BAKES has recently introduced some new flavors for their cupcakes too!
So if you're bored of the usual... vanilla, choco etc, check them out for some interesting flavors
which are usually created by MSB themselves so it's really worth trying out ;)

A huge thank you to all my lovely sponsors once again! x

So I guess that is about all for my birthday post! Honestly didn't expect this much to happen tho
and I think I've thanked everyone for the hundredth time but I am really grateful to everyone who made all this happen. I will definitely remember my 21st birthday for the rest of my life :)

ROOFTOP BBQ // WEEKLY ADVERTS

Earlier this month my mum planned a BBQ on our roof garden!
Ever since we've moved I think this has been our..... 3rd or 4th BBQ session? 
Always improving after everytime to make sure our guests and relatives feels at their best!

Best BBQ food prepared by my mum and aunt, made with so much love..
and and for desserts, I had too-darn-awesome cupcakes ;)
 with 2 boxes, 1 box was wiped up within minutes after I opened it!
Super quick okay, and everyone loved it!!!
 coincidentally it was a close family friend's bday so we had a cake as well..

so lemme share with you guys where my yummy cupcakes were from, none other than... *drumrolls*
"My Sister’s Bakes (MSB) is the brainchild of two sisters who simply loves baking and eating cakes. 
What's special about us is that we use premium quality ingredients (we use only French butter and extra large eggs) and we're generous with the fillings inside our cupcakes
Our cakes are baked fresh on the day of your order too!"
This is my second time working with the owner of MSB and she is an absolute darling!
I was allowed to choose 3 flavors and so I picked Red Velvet with Nutella, 
also I told her to recommend me some other flavors and through her recommendations I picked 
Lemon Meringue and Chocolate Chip w Buttercream topping.
 She had them specially delivered to my door on the day of my BBQ and I was given 2 boxes full of
yummy and delicious cupcakes!!! I received them in the morning but was resisting the temptation to eat it first as I wanted to share it with everyone at the BBQ! 
 Check out them yummy cupcakes!!! 
Honestly after opening the box, so many hands reached for them that I think by a minute or less the entire boxed was wiped clean. Haha thank god I kept another box downstairs for later,
Of all the flavors I've got to admit that my favorite would be the 
Chocolate Chip with Buttercream Topping!
At MSB, they have 2 types of cream: the normal buttercream that you find anywhere else and the Swiss Meringue Buttercream that is more buttery, smooth, and less sweet. On the Chocolate Chip cupcake would be the second option, which makes sense as it didn't taste TOO sweet!
I cannot even begin to explain how awesome it tastes! Within the cupcake, expect to find chunks of chocolate chips, the cupcake is moist and tasty. I really love how it isn't too sweet as well!
Look even Bijou wants a taste of it..... but too bad he can't have chocolate ;( 
I told E* (1 of the owners of MSB) that occasionally I would crave for her cupcakes then feel damn sian cos it's not readily available (like I can get in stores if crave it) and I will just think of it.... and like daydream about her cakes. Hahahaha damn pig!!! But honestly it's really super nice!!!
If you guys are looking to order cupcakes you have GOT TO TRY MY SISTER BAKES!!!
No regrets!

"at Shopdiygalore, we offer you the latest fashion trends and wide range fashion products to satisfy your fashion desires. We believe in bringing out the best in fashion and introducing these products to everyone. We aim to serve each and every customer to the very best"

I was allowed to pick an item from their webbie and I picked the 
NANDA'S CASUAL POLKA DOT ROMPER
Polka Dot has got to be one of my weakness when it comes to clothing.. alongside sweaters and outerwears, my eyes are automatically focused on whatever form of polkadots. Hahahaha
so in order to catch my attention while shopping, as long as I see a shop with polka dots, I'm sooooo walking inside. Even if it's something I wouldn't buy, I'm happy being able to walk in and see it lol!
No surprises why I picked this piece while I was browsing their new arrivals ;)
Love the fitting of this romper cos it's slightly oversized on the sleeves and thigh area
material is really soft as well so it's really comfortable! Not to mention, it's a romper!!!
Super love rompers cos... it's one whole piece so no fussing on matching tops and bottoms ;)
took this with me on my most recent bangkok trip and wore it there as well!
Pictures will be up soon ;)

Thank You so much SHOPDIYGALORE for this wonderful piece :)
