See The World Through My Eyes : Malaysia, Penang 13'

Last weekend, part of my family, Sheng Wei & I drove up to Penang for a short getaway. It was quite a long drive & have I mentioned how much I hate long car rides…It was pretty damn tiring. We left in the morning and reached around 3pm.

We had hawker food to fill up when we reached and continued our journey to the hotel. We stayed in Flamingo Hotel, Penang. The hotel was not bad. It had a beach which was already fulfilling enough for me.

We headed to the beach right away after checking in.

Had way too much fun at the beach, missing it already :( 

After the beach, we soaked ourselves in the pool for a bit. 

Bikini top : K-Mart, Australia / Bikini bottom : Topshop 

We headed to Gurney Drive for dinner that night. Tasty hawker food but a bit pricey because it's a tourist spot. Boo to that but other than that, it was pretty good.

The next day, we had complimentary hotel breakfast and headed up to Balik Pulau to visit some relatives and also have their famous Laksa for lunch. 

Selfies before we left!

On the way to Balik Pulau, we passed by a drive thru Starbucks which seemed pretty cool to me...

I'm a loser who's fascinated by this…#noyoumaynotjudge

Laksa for lunch! I'm not a spicy food kinda person at all but since there was nothing else to eat so I gave in to it...

Surprisingly it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be, plus it tastes good. 

After lunch, we went to Paragon, Gurney. It's a new mall with most of the major retail outlets. 

Panaroma of the christmas decorations & this part of the building. This part of the building was actually an old school building block that they converted into part of the mall. 

Walked around the mall but nothing beats KL shopping so I didn't get anything. We headed to Hard Rock Hotel and sneaked into their beach after we left the mall.

Fish eye selfies on the beach!

Damien did this for Sheng Wei & I (aw)

Had fun sneaking in and playing at the beach once again. 

Sunnies : Hong Kong / Dress : K-Mart, Australia 

Dinner was with my relatives. We had seafood by the beach, food wasn't bad. Don't remember where it was at tho.

After we got back, we played sparkles because Sheng Wei was going to be away for christmas & new years so we decided to have our own little celebration before he leaves to Japan till next year. 

Ghostly pictures because it was night and sparkles go off way too fast! 

Shirt : A&F / Shorts : Kitschen / Shoes : Agape Boutique 

The next morning was our final day in Penang. We spent our morning by the beach once again. 

I basically got bullied by these two boys, they buried most of me in sand :( 

 

Last day at the beach :(

After we checked out, we headed for lunch then to Aremenian Street to take a look at some of the famous street art.

The town was filled with murals & some sculptures. It was a really artistic town with lots of heritage buildings.

Thanks to my cousin Anna, we managed to get around perfectly fine.

Headed back to KL after that. It was a short but sweet trip. Glad I got to spend my short getaway with the people I love.

Senior's Prom Night!

Last Friday night was my senior's prom night. Every year, the seniors (form 5's) have this event after SPM, sort of as a formal farewell party & a night to dress up. Every year, they have a different theme. This year was The Great Gatsby. This year's prom was held in Sheraton Imperial, KL. I got to go because Sheng Wei invited me as his date! Had a pretty fun night with my baby.

Flashback to a few months ago…

He asked me to be his prom date :)

And months & months later…after PMR & SPM…finally, prom night!

Everyone took a hundred and one percent effort to look good on that night. Even though it wasn't my prom night, I guess I am still a little (a lot) vain hahaha :p 

I did my eyebrows the day before at A-Listers, Giza. 

This is actually my first time threading so I don't know if this is considered cheap but I think it's pretty reasonable. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would have and I think it's pretty cool that they have pictures on how your eyebrows should look like depending on your face shape. 

I did my nails in Jo Nails, Giza. My first time there too as they're not my usual nail parlour.

Shimmery silver for my fingers & dark purple for my toes. I am not a good mani pedi photographer…took my toes pic in Penang :p 

On the day of prom night, I had my hair & make up done in deVogue, Sunway Giza. First time there too, got some package online which was half price of their normal price. They did a pretty amazing job and not only did I have nice hair & make up done, the lady working there offered me to model for their next year's catalogue! Pretty damn psyched! 

I went home after and got ready. Dressed up & this cutie came in his grey suit to pick me up :3 

At my place before prom, mom wanted to grab photos of us hahaha she thinks we're cute & stuff. 

Beautiful corsage from my baby.

Left for prom in the evening, it was really quite jam. Pretty much underestimated the Friday night jam down to KL, but thank god everyone else as late so it was okay hahah :p

Photo booth outside the ballroom and well how could we (I) miss it :p

During prom. 

Couple games, got dragged out by Sheng Wei to play with him. The classic newspaper stepping game :p 

Last resort was to carry me…I'm honestly not as heavy as his expression makes it seem…sigh.

After some games, it was time to give out awards to Best Dressed, Best Couple, Prom King/Queen etc. Sheng Wei & I actually got nominated but didn't win haha oh wells. Congrats to the winners tho! Sheng Wei was also nominated as prom king but he didn't get it too hahah :p 

After the award presentations, it was time to hit the dance floor!

Had fun dancing with my baby & my girls. 

Pictures with everyone (not really)…

Thira & Alisa were invited by their boyfriends while Bea & Raz were helping out the prom committee. It was a pretty fun night, glad I got to spend it with my girls & my baby. 

Accessories : little stalls around malls / Necklace : Bausch K (from Sheng Wei) / Dress : Le Femme / Clutch : Kenanga Wholesale City / Shoes : Vincci 

After prom, the seniors had an after party. I went as Sheng Wei's plus one. The after party was definitely sick. Had a crazy amount of fun with everyone hahaha! It was one hell of a night. Literally partied till morning. Screwed up my sleeping schedule but oh wells. 

Prom night & the after party was definitely memorable. Thankful for the invite :*
