XMAS PARTY + WEDDING DINNER

ALOHA EVERYONE!

THANKS FOR COMING TO MY BLOG!

TODAY'S BLOGPOST WILL BE ABOUT XMAS PARTY AND WEDDING DINNER!

SO I thought that it will be nice to talk about presents! LIKE OMG WHO DOESNT LIKE PREZZ!

So Hans and I thought that it would be nice to add a little something to our friends' present

1) BUY THE PRESENT 

( that suits your friends' personality and you think he/she would use/eat )

REMEMBER THESE? I gave this to my friends ! YEAP THEY ARE FROM PIXAROLL ( DOWNLOADABLE FROM APPSTORE / GOOGLE PLAY )

2) WRAP THE PRESENT 

btw DAISO HAVE AWESOME BOXES THATS ONLY $2 EACH HEHEHE #BUDGETBARBIE

3) WRITE A CARD

OPTIONAL :

4) We hide the clues on the 1st level of the house  for the contents of their presents and their presents on 2nd level of the house. We gave them 3 minutes to find all 3 clues.

5) After 3 minutes is up, we took them to the 2nd level of the house to find their presents!

HERE'S A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED:)

 Rachael's mom with the help of her maid made like awesome food for the guests!

Super appreciate it :)

YUMMY FOODIESSS!!!

THANK YOU RACHAEL AND HER FAM FOR HAVING ME !

ALSO THANK YOU TO JUNYOU AND HANS FOR ACCOMPANYING ME :)

WEDDING DINNER

HELD AT MANDARIN ORIENTAL HOTEL

I have this aunt of mine that many people think that I looked like her.

Well maybe cos of genes?

Anyway, she finally getting married!

I am so happy for her and her husband!

The entire day was really emotional and it sometimes hit me like, will this happen on my wedding too?

"It's awkward when you look like the bride but you are not the bride hehehe.- Charmaine"

and I realised thar the husband is quite similar to Hans hahahaha

SUPER LIKE TO MAKE LONG SPEECHES

Anyway, I had lots of fun and I thought that the wedding was really well-planned except for the messed up table seating arrangements.

HERE ARE MY COUSINS!

From the left : Geraine, Giselle

MAKEOVER

IF you have followed me on TWITTER @CH4RM4LNE

You would have seen my modeling photos hehehehe

I know it intrigued many of you! So I'm gonna share with you!

So, my aunt who is a makeup artist in training needed a model for her examinations. So she "hired" me! I was glad and really worried bc i dont have confidence of myself!

I feel that I would turn out ugly :( like makeup cant even beautify my face cos I'm too ugly and I dont wanna face the truth but nonetheless I MADE IT!!!!

SO I will just let the photos do the talking 

this was after the first attempt!

on the actual day!

i swear this all made me 10x older but I really love my hair at the end of the day :)

SORRY IF ALL THE PHOTOS BURN YOUR EYES due to my uglyness ><

When I got to see my mihara buddy again, I was really delighted. Tho I was NERVOUS to meet her family, I'm glad that the dinner as not that awkward. Her father attempts to start a conversation.

When conversation seems difficult, he would use his phone to translate or do funny faces that would make anyone laugh.

Her younger brother was not giving a watermelon face or anything.

So heartwarming and welcomed :DDD

Everyone was really warm and nice.

During dinner, all of them actually waited for me to start eating before they actually start.

After the dinner, her brother and father helped with my luggage with  eagerness ><

Then, we drop by 7-11 to get snacks and drinks!
