Hi there! I’m Samantha,

and this space encompasses my personal milestones made beautiful in His time. Combining my flair for easy-to-read writing and my love for photography, here you'll find me sharing the thing I'm most passionate about - travel, food, fashion and my conversations with God.

*P.S when God was blessing others with the gift of height, He left me out realizing that great things come in tiny packages, so instead I am gifted with endless energy and a big wide smile to get through difficult times.

Forever & always, a child of God. Through this cozy little virtual haven, I hope each post inspires at least someone out there with my life stories.

Are you planning your next event?

There’s always something for everyone at Temptations Cakes, let us celebrate your next special event (be it a birthday party, baby's first month, wedding, christmas, you name it!) and create lovely memories with you.

Princess' 20th!

IMG_8377
It's 12.01am! It's official! Bye 19, I'm now 20!
The past weeks were crazy, practically mugging for the finals which I'm so screwed for (and 1 more upcoming dampening my mood), but nevertheless, I managed to spend the past few days celebrating the final memorable moments of being a teen with close friends that I truly enjoy and love being with.

Thank you for everyone for your blessings and wishes for my 20th,
I feel really loved to get your greetings, really!

Previous years, I've 'upgraded' from booking chalets (the secondary school days) to hotels (the poly days). I had my fair share of fun... This year, I decided to play it down & make it a lil extra special and memorable, for that matter. I decided to have a small close knitted McDonalds Party Dec'2012. How cute right! What a better what to end of my final teenage year with my something from my childhood!

I've always wanted to experience the Macs Party, so why not have it for my own birthday?

At McDonalds, adults can be kids again and experience the same games, activities and gifts as kids do!
I believe that a birthday is a special event & I choose to make it an event to remember...

For every party, there's an appointed party host for the celebration. So no worries! Just play along and be high! She played 2 games with us before dinner. All of us had so much fun laughing at each other even through the games may seem very old school and for kids. Totally reminded us of camp/orientation days #thingsweusedtodo

MY PRETTY IN PINK PRINCESS CAKE!
I self-designed it & told Uncle Jeff to bake it for me. So happy that he did a wonderful job this time round, I loved the outcome. Way better than expected. It was too pretty, I didn't bare to say goodbye and cut it up thereafter :/

Celebrating a birthday is fun, but it was twice the fun when it's celebrated at McDonalds'!

Hung out for awhile at Macs before deciding to go for a drink nearby. Thankgod for Ant's car or else we had to walk like forever. hahaha! Chilled out with good music and good company, what more could  I ask for? (;

Besides the Macs party which I celebrated with my TP cliques, I met up with the KC girls clique on my actual day. Spent the day mugging in the library before meeting the girls for dinner. Met Ya Ting and walked over to Blackbird Cafe for dinner. Always walked pass this cafe and haven't gotten a chance to dine there so tonight was perfect!

Upon arrival around 7.30pm, the place was empty and I joked 'Eh, I booked the entire place tonight just for my birthday!'

Headed towards Rochor Beancurd, however when passed by Cathay, I happen to see the poster on the christmas tree, saying that Kai Ko will be appearing in 15mins time. I was like OMG WHAT FOR REAL?!? My Taiwanese Eyecandy ever since I've watched é‚£äº›å¹´,我們一起追的女孩

Totally jizzed about it & told the rest happily that he came to SG just for my birthday. HAHA! *Denial Mode: ON* So while the other 2 went to get their late dinner, my darling girl was nice enough to wait with me because she knows that I really wanna meet him!
THANKS DARLING YOU KNOW ME BEST ^^

I couldn't think properly when I saw him #fangirl! hahaha! All I wanted to do is to take a picture with him & thankgod I was still sane enough to think of camwhoring on the spot! Really putting my camwhoring skills to good practice and use right at that moment. Spammed a few shots (it was super difficult because there was a crowd behind me) and luckyme, when I reviewed, I was damn happy with this cause HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT INTO MY CAMERA! #strike!!!

Went to Starbucks to chill afterwhich! Met Vee there, who offered the gala movie tickets to me AWWW! But I didn't take it cause I didn't want to go alone! :/

After exams officially ended for us on 5th December, I went out with the shopaholic scarlet clique. Yet again, they SURPRISED me with many things! I really didn't expect a belated birthday celebration, thought we were just going for makan. My girlfriends are sooo uber duper sweet!!! I felt so underdress the entire day :/ But anyways, so here's how it went...

Twinny & I were shopping at Paper Market while waiting for the other girls. Then she told me she had to use the toilet and when she came back, she brought along 2 hugeass size balloons for me. I was damn shocked. Imagine this, I was at the cashier settling my payments & suddenly the balloons just appeared infront of me! Whoa!!! So huge I didn't know how to react. All that was going through my mind is 'Wah so nice, but ohno, how to carry around!!!'

Settled for late lunch at PAUL Bakery Cafe @ Takashimaya. All of us were really famished by then so we had a feast! I ate so much that I think that was my lunch, high tea, dinner...

LET'S EAT!
After eating, I dealt with the pictures! Had to get out of the cafe just for the internet so that I could upload instagram and twitter, but it failed me. When I gave up and came back to my seat, the girls were giggling & I thought what so funny! Turns out that they planned another mini surprise for me. They stacked the macaroons and lighted a candle, so when I reached the table, they started singing the birthday song super loudly HAHAHA! #okcan! And, I totally couldn't see what's happening initially because it was blocked by the hugeass balloon -.- Goodone girls!
