Some photos from the day I came home with new hair!
Chop off quite a bit of my hair and did an autumn hair colour, rose gold on the hair roots & slightly orange towards the end of my hair!
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE COLOUR THUS FAR!!!
Not sure why it doesn't reflect that much in pictures but I've shared some videos on snapchat & the colour is just SUPER pretty T _ T
SEE I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN PICTURES which is why it took me a while before I decided to post these pics haha
BUT they are super gorgeous in person, slightly beige and reddish on the crown of my head!!! It's a different look and I went for a fashion show the next day... there were so many compliments 'cause of my new hair colour hahaha love it.
If you feel like changing up your hair game, look for Takuya at CLEO HAIR~~~
He's my hair stylist and I really trust him a lot with my hair hahaha so rest assured he's gonna do a great job!
I've been posting a lot on my YouTube more often lately so if you haven't get to check them out, please do!!!
Since my last blog post about my birthday, there have been quite a few enquiries about events at Hopscotch Bar, and I couldn't wait to share more about the place as well (as I am quite a frequent visitor considering I am not a frequent bar-goer HAHAHA), and they have some pretty amazing drinks you NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!
*This post is for 18 and above please don't anyhow drink if you're underage ok haha*
Hopscotch Bar is located at Red Dot Museum (Tanjong Pagar) and it's obviously super convenient near city area!!! Plus the place itself is super chill, somewhere you can just have a drink with your friends, talk about life, play some games... or just sit there alone and think about your future in general HAHAHAHA on a more serious note it is really really a very nice place to be at, to wind down at the end of the day~~
They have lots of games at the side you can pick any to play, it's free don't worry hahahahaha.
SO YES, moving on to their drinks. It's the highlight of my post and I can't wait to share with all of you the amount of drinks I tried that night LOLLL.
Their menu is super interesting, there are four different collections inside, according to Nic (the nice guy in the picture below)!!
UMMMM I really really enjoyed this one and the crazy thing is it actually tastes like BANGKOK!!!
I have no idea what made it taste so Bangkok, you gotta go try it yourself to find out hahaha but it was so intriguing I kept taking sips and sips of it just to find out what is making it taste so Bangkok hahahaha.
HELLO WHERE GOT DRINKS SO CREATIVE ONE!!!
It's topped with shaved ice & oreo biscuits!
Perfect for those who are not into strong alcohol-tasting drinks~
NEXT!
This third menu is the one that made me go like O_O... Can you just take a moment to admire all the plating!!! AND THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE....
IT IS... LEGIT CHICKEN SOUP ALCOHOL LOL.
CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE ALCOHOLIC'S SOUL - Bonito Infused Smirnoff Voda, Chicken Stock, Salt & Pepper, Soya, Sesame Oil, Coriander, Cherry Tomatoes.
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS OK HAHAHAHA AS A HUGE FAN OF CHICKEN SOUP.
It was surprisingly good!!!
It's savoury, and the alcohol taste is really there, quite strong 'cause it's served warm, but yes!!!!
HOW CREATIVE CAN THIS BAR GET!?!?!
It's a fresh alternative to all the cold sweet drinks on the menu so please try if you're going there!
JEWEL OF MAXWELL - Tanqueray Dry Gin, Kwaifeh Lychee, Rose Cordial, Yuzu Juice, Grapefruit, Fresh Citrus.
As you can tell from the list of ingredients used, it's a fruity floral one hahaha perfectly MY TASTE.
Fans of Horlick, you gotta try this!!!
This is quite thick and I had a shock at first at the texture HAHA remember to mix it well 'cause there's ice cream inside!
#ThatRoastedMarshmallowThough
MOVING ON!
Their fourth menu, also the highly recommended one 'cause these are the drinks that their customers highly requested for!!!
THIS IS THEIR STRONGEST DRINK ON THE MENU.
MAD MEN LONG ISLAND TEA - Smiroff Vodka, Tanqueray Gin, Cointreau, Corralejo Reposed, The Bitter Truth Violet, St. Germain, Fresh Citrus, Soda Charge.
According to them, everything in the ingredient list are alcohol (except citrus and soda) so it's super strong. They even added an extra rating when it comes to strength for this so it's really a strong one!
FOR SOME REASON, it didn't taste as strong for me that night (maybe 'cause at that point I was not sober anymore HAHAHAHA) and SURPRISINGLY I REALLY LIKE THIS 'cause it's slightly fizzy and quite fruity as well hahaha.
At this point I am already.... confused. HAHA from what I remember this is pretty sweet and it was good TOO (ok tbh none of the drinks were bad so it's damn difficult to judge).
So on top of all these extremely creative cocktails they serve (and you can never find elsewhere 'cause most bars I've been to only serve those normal cocktails like the usual Long Island Tea, Sex on the beach etc. #basic haha) they do offer shots as well! And what's not surprising anymore after reading this post is that... their shots are very creative and Singapore-style as well!!!
BAK KUA SHOTS LOL PLEASE!!!!!
I tried Bak Kua, Bandung, Sour Plum (my fav) & Ondeh Ondeh!!!
AND they have custom cocktails as well, if you have a very specific taste, tell the bartender and they will whip up a very special drink just for you, right on the spot!
This is my "Hi I want something fruity, a bit sweet and a bit sour..." drink haha.
It's made with Raspberry, Lychee, Yuzu and Vodka!
SPEAKING OF CUSTOM DRINKS, they made 4 AMAZING cocktails to match my 21st Birthday Party as well~~ It was themed Alice in Wonderland!
If you're looking to host a party soon, Hopscotch Bar does events as well! You can do it at their bar, you can also get custom cocktails to your liking.... They are very open to working with you all, to create something you like on your special day!!!
You can contact them at enquiries@mixesfrommars.sg to enquire about the price and what you want for your party!
This me, almost gone but not yet. HAHA.
Thank you for reading!!! If there's any questions about Hopscotch Bar, don't hesitate to approach them, they are all very nice people don't worry!!! :D
Also check out their website -
Not exactly sure if it's a happy thing 'cause turning adult just means having to pay MORE bills, dealing with adult things, worry about what to do for the future... IS BEING AN ADULT REALLY = HAVING FREEDOM?! HAHAHA
On a brighter note, I am 21, and the 21st birthday means you have all the excuses to throw a huge birthday bash so why not!!!
It wasn't in my plan to throw a birthday party 'cause firstly, I am too socially awkward and probably don't have that many friends to invite to a huge party hahaha. Also, it's a lot to plan for and I'm most likely going to plan and do everything alone which is a huge bummer so I decided against the idea at first.
BUT my friends around me (most of my friends are older) who didn't get to celebrate their 21st birthday regretted it and told me it's a must to get it done else I'm going to regret it in the future either SO #NORAGRETS I decided to throw one pretty last minute.
AND yes I planned everything myself, and also did some decorations with Rachell few days before the party just in case the decorations were not enough~~~
Anyway, I have a vlog on my channel which will show what happened that day~~ Please watch if you haven't! ^_^ It's one of my favourite vlogs to date!
So here goes, my 21st birthday party themed "Rustic Alice In Wonderland" yay!!!
My birthday was on the 7th of September btw~~~
Decided to go for a simple light blue high low dress (from ShopSassyDream) and I altered it to my size HAHAHA omg it was XS but still too big for me!
Light blue to match Alice's dress. xD
Heels from Elisa Litz!!!
The party was hosted at Hopscotch Bar, located at Tanjong Pagar, Red Dot Museum!
Nowhere else better than this 'cause I'm a frequent customer of the bar, they have some amazing cocktails, extremely unique and you can't find them anywhere else. You can also self-customize your drinks to your liking.. I LOVE BERRIES & FRUITS BTW. Okay more about them in another blog post next time 'cause too much to share with you in just one post!
The arrows were made by Rachell and I hahaha we went to Art Friend to find some thin wood and DIY! The left pointing to the right is on purpose 'cause wonderland is confusing hahaha.
The custom drinks made for the party, all named to match the theme!!!
I opt for some berries and fruity drinks, and we have Mad Hatter for the guests who can take stronger drinks~
Here are some decorations Rachell and I brought~ This twine heart with vine!
And the bird cage filled with fake roses that Rachell painstakingly painted into red and gold to fit the rustic vibes~ *_*
CAN YOU SEE THOSE MACAROONS?!?!?!
They are Pokemon Macaroons as guest favours!!!
All the guests were super hyped up about it HAHAHA it's so cute~
They are from Le Sucre Du Patisserie! Quote "Peishi5" for 5% off any macarons tower customisation!
There are Snorlax, Dragonite, Pikachu & Charizard! ;)
Also the beautiful Baby's Breath from my loves Yolanda and Constance!
Yolanda handed it to me when she came to find me at the salon (and helped me carry all my stuff to the party T _ T Thank you~)! Felt like I was getting married except I got no groom AHAHAHAHA fml lol
The dessert table that you can never miss for every birthday party! Thank you White Spatula for the set-up, it looks amazing!!! We added the fairy lights ourselves 'cause the place was really dark~ xD
My favourite on the dessert table are the sugar cookies!!!!
THERE ARE POKER CARDS, 21, PS, AND EAT ME!
I'm a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland and it's like a cheap thrill looking at these cookies 'cause they look exactly the same as what Alice ate!!! (No I didn't become smaller or bigger HAHAHAHA)
Also the two-tier chocolate cake with berries and herbs~~~
My family who came early too~~~ *_*
My sister and mom really quite on, dressing blue and white for the theme xD
Here's BOBO SHOOTER setting up!!!
They actually custom-made some props just to fit the Alice in Wonderland theme as well! Show you the Photo Booth pictures later~~
Let's talk about food now HAHAHA Neo Garden really surprised me with their set-up! I was totally not expecting such a huge and detailed set-up from them but they really blown me away with how meticulous they were and how they really took the theme to a whole new level.
Can you just look at the plate and utensils I'm holding?! They are all disposable but looking super fancy!!!
THE FOOD TOO, omg THE FOOD.
Some of my friends and relatives who are quite picky when it comes to food actually came to tell me that they were so impressed!!! #PROUD HAHA you know how it feels damn good when your party's buffet is one of the best that anyone ever had?? ;)
Some of my favourites from the buffet were Aglio Alio and Sotong You Tiao!
After that, CLEO Hair team came down with a huge bouquet!!! Thank you CLEO HAIR & Neo Garden for the roses~~ Felt like a star ok I did my gratitude speech on my vlog. xD
My ridiculously photogenic nieces who came down and brightened the party up~

Thanks to all my sponsors for making my 21st party night an amazing one, I will never forget the effort all of you put in to make this special day awesome~ T _ T
Also, thanks to Rachell, Yolanda, Qiu (who specially came down earlier to help set-up the place despite having some asshole thing to deal with that came last minute... T _ T), Ben, Mandy, who decided to call themselves PA & tried to treat me like a princess that day HAHAHA AHEM I am a princess 25/8 though BAHAHAHA. Felt like I was going to get married and they were my bridesmaid LOL.
Special thanks to Rachell (aka my bff, my mom, my sister, my grandma, my PA depending on the situation hahahahaha) for making the decorations with me few days before, and painstakingly painted the dull purple roses RED and GOLD to fit the theme!!! Also she went around the party taking pictures for me in her huge ass DSLR, and made sure I get the help I need whenever wherever~ Extremely thankful to have her in my life, I LOVE YOU RACHMA!!!!! #KOAS #SHIP #OTP #PEIRA
Thank you to my mama and papa for raising me, I AM AN ADULT NOW YOU CAN BE REST ASSURED I WON'T DO DUMB THINGS, not like I have done anything bad the past 21 years, I've been the BEST KID EVER hahahaha please give me an award, I deserve it LOL. Thank you to xuan and gor for always being there for me, and I had some gloomy moments during the party I can only rant to my little sister HAHAHA. Thankful to have siblings, they can be monsters at times, but still the best thing ever at the end of the day.
Being an adult means having more troubles to deal with, and that means I need to have a more mature mindset, and manage things calmly and logically.
What I've learned growing up is that looking at things in a positive light is very important. To make life a whole lot less complicated, and happier. :)
Growing up means lesser time, and lesser friends. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It's good to have a few true and trustworthy friends, than a whole bunch of friends that you can't go to, or will never help you when times are tough or when they can't get any benefits out of helping you. I've seen a lot being in this industry for 5-6 years, and growing up in this industry, meeting so many new faces. What I've learned is that, it's okay to not hang on to people who doesn't appreciate you and/or is taking you for granted. If they are there just to ride on you during good times, and leave you when you need help, it's okay to drift apart from them, it's okay to lose some friends to realise you have better ones around. We need more positive people around us as we grow older.
True friends will be happy for you when you succeed in something, true friends will always be there during tough times, true friends will share their joy with you. :)
And I am very fortunate and grateful to be growing up with people I appreciate, and people who appreciates me.
Thank you to everyone for being a part of my journey growing up.
Let's all continue to grow together!!!!!^_^ Happy 21st birthday, me. ♥
