A Spooktacular Day

Its 1 in the afternoon and I am happy to say that its "TGIF" for me.

My day started at 9 in the morning and after I'm done with school, its home sweet home.

As you know, Halloween was just yesterday and I did manage to dress up this year.

However, most people dressed up on Saturday instead of yesterday because it was a weekend night.

If you have seen my instagram, you would have already known what I dressed up as.

Tadaaaaa!

The Black Swan!

If you're not aware who is this, please bang your head against the wall.

Here's the breakdown of how I was able to complete the whole outfit on a budget.

1) Bustier

Basically, I just recycled an old black plain bustier that Eexuan donated to me.... 

Made a trip to Chinatown to get the extra feathers, rhinestones and fabric glue which costed me $10?

Taking reference to the pictures from the movie, I realized that most of the feathers were on the left chest area so I tried to make the bustier similar.

2)Tutu Skirt

The skirt was a separate from the top itself and I bought it from taobao...

My aunt made a trip back to China so she offered to buy it for me at no cost.

FREE! (but it must be like less than $10 for sure)

3)Heels

Didn't buy the heels just for this but I had it all along in my shoe closet. Perfect to complete the outfit. 

4)Hair & Makeup

The hair wasn't a problem at all, because I just had to tie my hair into a bun. Bought this clip on feather thingy that I just clipped it on my bun. 

One of the most crucial part of the outfit has got to be the face makeup. I was looking for the white base paint and randomly bought it at a costume shop @fep. IT WAS HORRIBLE.

Like it gave my face a very oily finish which made it even harder to draw the black strips etc.

Sigh......... but thankfully, I just tried to use whatever I have.

Michelle phan's tutorial was VERY USEFUL.

I guess one of the reasons why she gets so many views on her videos is because she caters to the asian crowd. 

Oh I did give the red contact lenses a miss because I've sensitive eyes.

Didn't miss this out either. Spammed black and silver eyeliner on my hands. 

Whole outfit cost: $30?!?

HOW CHEAP IS THAT!

My friend told me that she bought her superwoman outfit from a store at $80....

What........

The whole preparation took about 1.5 hours and it was time to head out!

Unfortunately, it was a little bit too late so I was only able to catch a few interesting costumes.

Jason from Friday the 13th!

People were suppose to be scary on Halloween so I don't know how this group fitted into the theme but it was humorous that they dressed cohesively as a group.

Can you guess what Dave was? HAHAHA

Funniest outfit of the night has got to be this. 

She had to walk sideways like a crab because of the frame. 

Was already making my way to Zouk and look who I saw!

A little ballerina. She was such a sweetie because she kept looking at me and smiling, telling her mum that she wants a picture. Awww

Moe was a unicorn . Bet it felt like an oven in there.

Irina was the girl version of Thor. Sadly, we didn't see any cute guys in a Thor outfit.

The night ended earlier as usual because I had a bad headache by the end of the night.

It was such a long day because Irina and me had FFO till 10pm.

We signed up for Race the Dead, Singapore's first zombie race therefore it was important to get ample rest.

Xuan and I did our part by dressing up as dead Mexican dolls. The face painter only drew half of our faces as requested.

 

Till next time,

Amelia

F1 Weekend

One of the best events in Singapore that many have been waiting happened over the weekends.

It was the annual F1 Singapore Grand Prix race that got almost the whole world talking about. 

And as usual every year, I am so lucky to get a chance to be in their after parties. 

Didn't manage to do Johnnie Walker this year because of conflict in interest. :-(

They are usually one of the best parties to be at during F1. 

The music and crowd never fails to make you enjoy the night. 

Apart from that, I met Sherena for brunch on Saturday before my crazy weekend started. We met at Jones the Grocer and it was my first time! The brunch is a little pricey than usual BUT it was DELICIOUS. Would totally go back there some other time to have their lunch/dinner meals. 

We came at about 12 on the dot so we managed to get seats but by the time we were done, there was a MAD LONG queue at the door.

HAHAHAHA, LOVE this picture of us because we sent it to Eliza who couldn't make it . 

 

I don't have a proper picture of what Sherena ordered. Was basically banana bread with greek yogurt and passionfruit. 

For myself, I ordered Benedicts Breakfast. 

Doesn't the eggs look like 2 round firm boobies HAHAHAHA

Their serving was really small and both of us were still hungry which lead us to order their Club Sandwich.

LOOKS SO GOOD HERE, I wanna have one now .

Fries were non-crispy bleah. I always expect fries to be hot and crispy.

The sandwich stack bigger than my face. It had avacado, bacon, chicken, egg and etc. I thought it was actually better than their brunch meals. Yummy.

Trying to meet up with her because she will be gone for another few months next week! :-(

Eliza and Sherena were so sweet because they purposely arranged their travel plans after the NPNF finals so that they could see me walk. AW I LOVE YOU BOTH :')

This good looking little chap, Dennis came to talk to me when I was working. I have no idea who he is but he was really cute. While his mum was busy shopping for makeup, he kept playing with my white dress and danced with me. He said something that melt my heart, "My wife must be as pretty as you next time. "

KIDS THESE DAYS SO SWEET!! 

He told me he had 7 siblings in total. WHAT! don't even know if he's speaking the truth but he made my Saturday. 

Saturday Night view at 1 Altitude. 

Never thought that Singapore was so beautiful at 63 storeys high.

The skyline was so pretty!

On Sunday, Jody invited us to his bbq party over at The Sail, marina boulevard.

They have an aqua gym at the condo itself, SO AWESOME.

Working out without having to sweat!!

We could see the race being held from the apartment's window.

Sorry, photo taken from the inside. Didn't want to risk my brand new phone out of the window and 46 floors down HAHAHA

Pictures from Irina's mobile. 

I can never be bothered editing the photos because I don't have plenty of time to do that.

Irina and Dave were also there but I had to leave early cause of an appointment. :(

Sobs, really wanted to join yall!

So lucky that I managed to get an entire glimpse of the fireworks at the final lap.

I took a hell lot of photos but this was the best shot ...

Hehe I feel so proud about this picture. NO STEALING THANKS.

Here's a short video of the fireworks. I was at Lantern @ fullerton bay hotel which was directly opposite the fireworks. 

AHHHH so pretty!

VETTEL WON!!! So proud of him cause he has taken the title 4 times in a row and he is SO YOUNG and cute teehee

Other than that, I tried opening a Champagne bottle with a saber!!

Nicholas was the saberage master LOL

This was taken after work past midnight so I look exhausted. 

Trying to give excuse. He's single girls so anyone needs my help??

Hahahaha kidding.

I DID IT AT MY FIRST TRY OK. Some guests didn't manage to saber the top off when they did it. Then, they keep trying and trying but #failed. LOL 

*flips hair*

Went to Pan Pacific for their pool party to have a look.

 It was not planned and coincidentally I wore a dress that suit the whole pool party theme. 

The crowd already died down when I got there :-(

Lukey and Shi xian. 

ARIEL WHERE DID YOU GO?

DONE!

That's all the pictures taken the past weekend. 

Just came home from npnf rehearsals. Thankfully, the rehearsals on Wednesday and Friday are cancelled! More rest!
