my sister's bachelorette party

I mentioned online I wanted to write about my recent hauls from Singapore & Bali but then decided to get straight to my sis' bachelorette last week and recent going ons first LOL. 

We had the bachelorette at Ploy, Publika because the bride-to-be recommended the place. While it's a great place to hang out and eat (the food is amazing!), there is no private room which meant we needed to tone down for the other customers' convenience.

That morning I was so tired, having gotten back from my vacuum the weekend before and had a hectic schedule trying to catch up with work that piled up while I was away (T____T) Like come on, girls!  Had to force myself to wake up so I can go collect the cake which was ordered just the night before! 

I'm super thankful, Eddie from Cake Tella have an extra for us! I love cakes from Cake Tella, they're one of the best and contain alcohol (You have been warned!) I have so go check them out for events! My absolute, all-time favorite would be the Pecan Salted Caramel Mille Crepe but since I made the order so last minute, I settled for Bailey's Chocolate Mousse (beggars can't be choosers anyway!) which was super chocolate-y, I'm hooked! 

Got the crazy fireworks candle supplied by Eddie and another bridesmaid, Nicole found the Hello Kitty gachapon to add as a cake topper. 

Yeah, this bride-to-be is a huge Hello Kitty fan, as you may have guessed so the theme for the day is cat theme hahaha! Two of us only started looking for the headbands the day before and could only find a handful, I got the fancy ones from Forever 21 and had to settle for the bunny ears from S&J.

Sisters' photo~~ Do we look alike? Got a lot of comments saying we do but I doubt it lol. (And OMG I looked baked in the photo! Shouldn't have gone to the beach before a bachelorette/wedding >.< )

Oh, hectically put up some decors for the day too. Such a morning I had... You bet by the time I got back I slept like a log!

For appetizers we had rainbow chips, mini crabs and some squid. Wine too because the bride-to-be requested it. They're all tasted amazing!

Early birds' toast~~

For lunch, I choose Mentaiko Linguini. I can't resist anything with mentaiko hahaha

Neesha chose pancake from the brunch menu which looked and tasted amazing! Definitely better than the ones in Bali, more on those later. 

During the meetup, we played a mini Q&A games for the bride before rewarding her with gifts and a photo frame.

my super random Saturday: Japan Cultural Day by The Japan Foundation of KL

Hello, I'm back~!

It's June already, how time flies! I know, i know! Haven't been blogging much in May but my past few weekends I was sorta occupied. Three weekends ago, I had company event which I'm gonna share with you in another post 'cause I got something else to share today LOL. This post is about what I did last Saturday (before I fell horribly sick the following day fml) when I was out with friends attending a Japan Cultural Day by The Japan Foundation of KL in Gallery Shah Alam.

We were there to make Tsumami Zaiku~! One of my friends, Nadia found out about the event a day prior and asked me, and walah, we're in.

We were initially only given two different colored chirimen but traded among ourselves and the result is so prettayyy~!

Our masterpieces~~

One of my friend who never tried yukata really wanted to try it badly and luckily we didn't have to stay too long to try them on even tho it was scheduled for afternoon session.

Sensei was teaching us how to put on a yukata

Tadaa~~ Shorty here posing with my yukata~ Face so round here LOL

My friends and I in traffic-light-color yukatas.

Well, sorta, cause Japanese calls green light 'Aoi', which translates to blue but of course they meant green. Analogous colors, geddit?

Mandatory show-off-those-ribbons pose

Mandatory seiza pose wth LOL

Future event promotional pose LOL

Please come and join the Japan Culture events by The Japan Foundation of KL. And of course other Japanese culture events like Bon Odori and Isetan Japan Food Fair ahem ahem. 'Cause #goodJapfood

We also checked out the Tohoku Exhibition~ No taking photos inside so this is the only pic ( ^__^;)

Just found out Gallery Shah Alam is more than just a gallery. They've got a part with picnic tables with chess boards painted on it, a HUGE lake with running tracks, I'm envious! I miss jogging around the lake like back in uni.

And I saw some people kayak, I miss that too!

That's most of it. We didn't stay for long and GrabCar our way back. Then had late lunch back at NuSentral's Sushi Zanmai.

And tea time/dinner after a meetup among our Language School Peeps because mapo tofu (LOL) isn't filling.

Chamomile tea because it's already night. Boy, does this helped me sleep so well!

Green tea soufle~

Bunkasai this year~

A few blog posts ago I mentioned that the Japanese Society of my uni (which I have graduated from) would be organizing its 4th annual Bunkasai this year. The event was held on the 1st of March and while I couldn't be there, I am more than happy to share with you these photos I manage to find (*°▽°*)

Just so you know these photos are NOT mine and full credits to the owners who have given me the permission to post them here. For that, I got them to thank (*⌒∇⌒*)
