Birthday!!

Being an October baby, I had my birthday twice in the UK, but sadly, I didn't get to have any proper celebration with my friends. Once I was back in Malaysia, I was so glad that I'm finally able to have a really legitttt birthday party with my closest people! 

My birthday was on the 2nd of October (I'm a proud Libra) but I had this birthday celebration on the 25th of October due to the time spent on planning and so on. Anyway, it was an awesome night and I really couldn't ask for more!

Had my celebration at Underground Societe, which can be easily Wazed but not so easily found, as it was camouflaged as a shop that does not look like a restaurant! Sounds crazy right? If it wasn't for the unnoticeable "US" sign outside of the restaurant, you'll never realise that this "THE LEMONADE SHOP" is actually a restaurant inside. We have tried almost all of their signature dishes that night, especially this unreal "flying noodle". Curious? Check it out then! I really loved their cocktails as well, they were really really good. 

The party's event planner, La Memoria (instagram: @la_memoria), has gotten everything planned and arranged SO SO SO WELL, including the backdrop, balloons and props. I have opted for a pastel blue and pink floral theme, where they have really put a lot of effort in meeting my requirements. I have only shown them a couple of pictures as reference and I've let them to decide on all the designs, and I was beyond surprised that all the details turned out to be far better than what I've expected! Thumbs up for their professionalism!

The desserts were fantastic. My lovely and tasty pastel cake and hand-painted macaroon tower was provided by Foret Blanc (instagram: @foretblanc), where the delicious yet adorable strawberry tower was provided by With Love (instagram: withhold.byw). My friends were so in love with the strawberries and we finished them in a night! Being a macaroon fetish, I am very particular with how macaroons taste like and I can totally declare that the macaroons were as good as those Italian brands I had back in UK! It was really soft and chewy on the inside, which I really loooooove. I am usually skeptical with how fancy cakes taste like (I've tasted a few of them and they were errrrrrrr), but this one was not only fancy on the outside but it tasted even better than it looks.

I'm also really grateful for having such an amazing bunch who are always by my side through thick and thin! We got to take tons of pictures for the night and we were really happy with all the food and set-ups.

Once again, I wanna thank all the sponsors for this birthday celebration for making this party such a huge success! Many thanks to Underground Societe for being such a good host for the night, as the venue is such a perfect spot for celebrations, and the food were on point too! Also, I am really grateful with all the handwork that the event planner, the La Memoria team, has put off for this entire party. Many thanks to these generous sponsors that have really made my wish for having such a dreamy party come true. x

Weekend Getaways in UK: Cornwall and Brighton

It's officially summer! After having two continuous dreadful and torturous exam weeks, I have went on a weekend getaway spree for 2 weekends straight to Cornwall and Brighton which I have been wanting to go since a long long time ago.


First destination: Cornwall

It was my very first road trip with my boyfriend and his classmates (I'm definitely the odd one out but yeah), and it was a lovely trip with them lovely people. We rented a house via Airbnb and it's got to be one of the best Airbnb accommodation that I've lived in so far. I am so sorry that I don't have any pictures of it because I was too busy snapchatting the house where I have forgotten to take pictures of it.
Anyway, if you're going to Cornwall, I would highly recommend to get a car and drive around there as it is more convenient to drive to the tourist spots, where it took us approximately half an hour to an hour to drive to each spot.


Land's End

Since it's literally the "land's end" of the most western point of England, it's a really magnificent and stunning landmark to visit while being in this country. We were so lucky to be touring around Cornwall that day because of the perfect sunny weather, hence my mood was really good since I have managed to take a lot of pretty pictures!

St. Michael's Mount

It was a pretty interesting place to be as we get to "walk" on the sea! Actually, it was when the tides were low, people can walk from the beach to reach to the St. Michael's Mount through a causeway that is built on the sea. The view throughout the small walk was really beautiful as we get to take pictures being close to the sea. (Do not forget to bring your slippers for the walk as your feet might get wet due to the tides)

Upon reaching the mount, there's a pretty garden around the entrance to the castle. You will have to climb all the way up to visit the castle, and of course, I didn't bother to go up because the weather was too hot and I was too lazy. :)

 St. Ives Bay

We've reached St. Ives at the most perfect timing - when the sun sets! It was a perfect spot to catch the sunset view, and I guess it was the first time that I get to watch the sunset on such a beautiful and romantic beach.

Minack Theatre

It was our last stop in Cornwall and it's a place where people actually watch shows by the cliff? Pretty interesting to not visit right? Anyway, I didn't get to take much pictures there because the wind was too strong and chilly, but the view was really magnificent and pretty scary to actually look down the cliff lolll

Second destination: Brighton

It was another road trip with my boyfriend, and my two best friends Sofea and Jeanne, I was so happy to be travelling with my favourite people! We rented a car and drove to Brighton, and stayed there for a night. The Airbnb accommodations in Brighton runs out really fast since it is a really popular weekend getaway destination, so be sure to book your Airbnb accommodation at least 2 weeks in advance!

Our first stop was the Brighton Pier, which is where the famous rocky beach is! Since it was still spring at the time we went there, so it was still really breezy, cold and totally inappropriate for us to wear like that.....(t-shirt and shorts).

After taking pictures and chilling around the beach, we headed to Hove Beach for the cute colourful huts. The wind was crazy as well, gosh.

Hopped around the city area and we had a lovely seafood lunch in a restaurant called Riddle and Finns and we got to taste the yummiest Malaysian style crab ever! In Brighton, just eat seafood like there's no tomorrow because it's sooooo fresh.

Last stop: the Seven Sisters Cliff! We have came a long long long way to reach the cliff by walking for more than an hour because we've missed the main entrance to the cliff. Nevertheless, we've got to enjoy the nature throughout our path to the cliff and look at the sheep and the greens.

These two places were filled with sea breeze, beautiful views and happiness. It's amazing that almost everywhere in the UK is worth visiting because of its amazing landscapes, I have yet to visit to other amazing places in this country and I hope I will get to explore them real soon. Next stop...... Spain in two week's time!
