Pink and Undecided: birthday gift

What I Got for My Bday

Ohai!

Did anyone notice i started blogging regularly again? Yeah, i've been staying home mostly this week and i managed to go back into my normal blogging rhythm again. I don't even know if this a good or a bad thing, i mean... It's good that i'm blogging so much again, that means i don't spend my days doing nothing (errr, playing games on my Iphone/Ipad doesn't count as doing something, right?) but it's bad because i'm so bored i could cry -____-. I really don't know what i want, so busy i have no time to blog or don't have anything else to do and can write all day long if i want to. Sigh.

Anyway, let's talk about cheerier subject, one that would always manage to make me happy : pretty things! LOL. As you may (SHOULD) already know, i celebrated my 32nd bday last month (God, next it's going to be matching double digits and not the number that i want LOL) and i received a lot of love in the form of some awesome gifts hahaha.

Two piles because the second pile was received long after the first one's picture's taken and stored away

Let's see the first pile first :

I mentioned this many times already, my BFFs and i have long passed the awkward/shy stage when it comes to what we want on our bdays-and to make sure we like what we get, we usually would make a request hahaha. Then new friends comes and they can also pitch in so there'd be less money for the husbands (whose responsibility is to top what whatever shortage from the total birthday budget hahaha) to pay LOLOLOL. Here's what my girls got me (chosen by myself of course) this year :

A swarovski wrap leather bracelet full with blings hahaha

Thank you #Undecided, A, G, Av and also Lid+Silv for pitching in ^^! Silv also out of the blue gave me this fluffy bag charm (coz she's generous like that) so i decided to chuck it in this post as well :

Next's gifts from my cousin L :

She just got back from US (landed a day before my celebration, thank you for coming despite the exhaustion!) and she got me this uber cute skirt (which i already featured here) and a Vegas tote bag. She also gave hunny gifts (money clips?) and also a tee for Little O. Thank you!

Fluffy monster bag charm and a polo shirt for hunny from LL and her hubby (she's always very thoughtful about getting us gifts that we can use together or double gifts although she clearly doesn't have to! I mean, hunny's not important, just get ME gifts! LOLOLOL)

My blogging friends knows what i love best and showered me with mostly beauty products *hugs*. Sabsab must've cleared her whole stash and gave me a truckload of items :

She got me this uber cute furry phone pouch and also assorted of beauty items hahaha

Both Sabsab and Kathy often give away products that they're not using (which is very generous of them, while i... am too big of a hoarder to do so. I'd rather buy people new items than part with my own things -___- horrible, i know) and Sabsab gathered so many things to gave me that day *LOL*. Always been pretty curious about Roro Mendut, should try them out soon!

More makeups from Kathy *so happy* <333!

More beauty stuffs from Cynthian, thank you!

My other friends O and MM are very busy people who travel for a living (tour leaders hahaha) and we only manage to have a very belated bday dinner earlier this month. Their pressies also sent me to cloud #9 hahaha.

<333 both of them have been traveling to Japan lately, that explains all the Canmake products hahaha

Zara EDP (with the CUTEST bird cage bottle!) and Canmake eyeshadow palette from MM

And Canmake Best Collection + set of four glittery nail polishes (Homei... Never heard of this brand before, but it's made in Taiwan) from O (and before anyone shamelessly commented "Oh, same eyeshadow palettes, pass one to me?" allow me to burst your bubble by telling you now "they're different shades, honey" LOL)

I feel totally spoilt and sooo loved, thank you everybody! Of course, you don't need to shower me with material things to let me know that i am loved, but whenever you do... I'm not complaining! LOL.

Geez, blogging about things that i love really do lift my mood! Maybe i should continue the good-feeling streak by shopping *LOLOLOL*.

TTYL!

Cherish 4th Bday Celebration

birthday

Hi guys...

Surprise, surpise-it's yet another very backdated birthday celebration >.< *LOL*. Went down last Valentine's Day and it was Cherish's 4th birthday celebration!

Errr... The picture of me and the bday girls' mum, showing you how narcissistic mummies can be *LOL*

It was a very relaxed, very close family and friends kind of celebration, but LL being LL, she still went all out with the decoration and all!


Yep, it's another Peppa Pig party, i guess whatever it is-it's very famous eh?

The main decoration/sweet corner

So colorful and cute!

Look at the adorable birthday cake!

Seriously, everything's so cute and well decorated i just have to snap pics of everything!

For someone who couldn't (and wouldn't bother to) set up a table for dear life, everything was so fascinating haha

There's even a ferris wheel for the cupcakes (that i had to stop Baby Boy from trying to spin multiple times zzz)

Wrapping bottled drinks with decorated paper really is a simple, great idea!

The little kids tore the little paper buses to pieces later on *LOL*

We originally tried taking pictures in front of the table, but for some reasons we looked huge so LL said the best spot is behind the table, and yes... We stood on a stool *LOL*

EDIT : Totally forgot to add this pic of the bday girl and her parents!

Of course there's also a main course to be had, we wouldn't want everybody to go on a sugar coma, right? We arrived late because LL's place's in another side of the city (and the traffic was CRAZY that day. It was even worse when we leave!), and we've never been there before (they've moved from the house that we've visited them at before) so we got very lost around their (very weirdly numbered, i must add) neighborhood for almost half an hour and we even knocked at the wrong house zzzz. Thank God nobody answered the door or it'd be very embarrassing-but there were people at the house across the street watching us and i must say i was super ashamed when we walked back to the car once we realized it was the wrong house *LOLOLOL*.

Anyway, since we're so late (well, there is no schedule other than hanging around, taking pictures and eating, so it didn't really matter), the once prettily decorated main course's no longer so cute hahahaha. But i snagged one pic from LL :

Who knows that tumpeng can be so cute?

This was how it looked when we arrived *LOL*

Nom-nom time!

Itadakimas!

Cherish's usually very shy around new people, but as she grows (and because we met countless times already i guess) she became bolder and more sociable. Here she is inching towards Koko hahaha

And offering her toy car to him. So sweet :D. Baby Boy usually dislike playing with younger kids, but i noticed that he doesn't mind younger girls, especially if they're pretty (uh oh...) *LOL*. They spent the whole afternoon playing together in the end!

LL whipped out this uber cute bear shaped cake

And of course, we just had to hahahaha

LOL

Cherish's daddy being cheeky

Look at the ta-mie shaped pudding! If i remember correctly, LL's little sister (who's still slightly older than me *LOL*) was the one who made it!

Hunny had made a bond with LL's hubby for a while now (he gets along with everybody it's insane *LOL*. LL's hubby's super quiet and shy, it took him a VERY long time to start talking to me *LOL* but no such problems now) but it was the first time we met LL's elder sister's husband (they live in US), thankfully he's very friendly so they were laughing and chatting nonstop in no time at all. Hot topic of the day? Terang bulan/sweet martabak! LOL

While the guys were busy chatting (and the women busy tending after their kids hahaha) LL and i were busy.... Selfie-ing!

From this angle, i got a better view of the cupcakes

So more pics it is

Look who's having a fun play date :D

Btw, don't call her LL is she's not all out hahaha. She also provided a tiered cake display full of... Indonesian traditional snacks and cakes!

Here's a pic of the most photogenic one hahaha. Don't ask me the name coz i'm pretty horrible at that -___-

LL and the pretty cupcake

Then with the cute cookie

One of me hahaha

When we see a cute prop...

Finally lured Cherish (who seems enamored with Baby Boy so she's do whatever he asked her to do hahaha) for this pic

Then Baby Boy spotted the cupcakes and asked for one... Made a real mess too *LOL*

Okay, this is slightly off topic, but still related. I totally forgot to feature the gift i got LL for her birthday the month before, i actually went a bit crafty and DIY-ed the box (gasp!). It was a bit half hearted becaused i just patch them up and glue them as it is *LOL*, but it still needs a recognition for someone as lazy as i am when it comes to DIY anything! Also i need the documentation to make sure i won't be giving her the exact same thing as i did before hahaha.

Since her bday theme was Moschino Barbie, i specifically looked for a Barbie wrapper. It's the closest thing i could find so... *LOL*. The big box was actually my Ipad casing's box and the little one was a wedding souvenir's box hahaha

Here's my main present for her, a pastel colored statement necklace coz she's very into statement necklace lately (i am too!). I was pretty confused on what to give her because, what do you give the girl who has everything, right? My friends told me that the face the same problem with ME *LOL*. Honestly, from the bottom of my heart, i will always appreciate whatever people give me. Truly! I've said it once and will say it again "It's not really the present that matters, but the thought that counts."

Found this vintage looking statement ring and decided to get two, one for me and one for LL

Okay, back to topic haha. Here's the actual gift for Cherish :

Still keeping in with the theme haha, hunny picked it for her

Cherish actually spotted the Barbie doll in the carrier and went for it, made me happy that she actually singled it out ^^.

Hunny helping her getting it off the box

And here she is trying to put on the tiny hairband on the tiny doll head *LOL*

Somehow the manufacturer tagged a plastic tag on her head WTH so hunny had to pulled it off and it resulted in crazy-haired Barbie haha

Then he spent the rest of the time discussing games with LL's hubby -___-

Soon afterwards we said goodbye because we wanted to catch a movie (which we ended up not watching. You can read the full story here)!

Thanks for reading!
