Chinese New Year Celebration
" Keep your head up, keep your heart strong"
Happy Chinese New Year! Had so much fun during lunar new year, I am so happy to be able to spend quality time with my family and eat delicious food together, we ordered the Poon Choi for our lunar new year and adds on some side dishes and it was the best! I am always grateful for new year because I am usually busy doing my own stuff so I don't get to spend lots of time with my parent despite living together.
Our Poon Choi! It was fill with lots of seafood, veggies, meat and just everything nice. Yum-yum, I am feeling hella hungry typing this blog-post.
So we spend our countdown together with our neighbour a.k.a our childhood friends, who just live across our house and it was so fun chit-chatting- playing the card games and drinking together. It was like our yearly tradition, it's always more fun with more people around.
We also had some yummy fruit x champagne for dessert! x
Day 1 - New Year
OOTD for Day 1 of New Year, wore a off-shoulder round neck top and black chic shorts which happened to fail on me when I am out so I had to go back home to change my shorts to my denim-blue ones. Went house-visiting for the first day around granny house x relative house , later on we went to catch a movie " Kungfu Yoga" the one which is starring Jackie Chan - the movie is way better than I expected so it's really good.
Day 2: V-Neck Button Stripes Top x Tennis Skirt, wanted to wore my Valentino Rockstud heels to go around but I found it so uncomfortable for house-visiting so I changed it to my favourite sneaker to go around after snapping some photos with it. We also went to catch another movie for the second day, " Journey to the west, starring : Kris Wu which is a hilarious movie!
So that's that for the past few days for New Year, probably gonna celebrate a few more days of it and go a few more house-visiting. It's overall a lovely New Year, a time to give thanks, spend quality time, snap some nice photos and re-connect with friends that I have not met in awhile. x Hope you guys have a lovely ones as well ~

Fashion : Styling w Black V-Neck Top
"l'esprit de l'escalier " - the feeling when you get when you leave a conversation and think of all the thing you should have said.
Dolling up in my V-Neck Black Top from PrettyWildRebel, have been absolutely loving this top. I didn't think that it'd be so comfy until I wore it and it is those type of top that make me look super slender and slim since it's in black colour and the design itself also played a big part in it. I paired it with a simple denim blue shorts since nothing can ever goes wrong with denim, that's one of my favourite shorts!
This outfit is definitely my on-the go outfit which is super simple yet chic, the V-Neck choker top has been popular since 2016 and the trend is not yet dying- I recently fell in love with all the different choker pieces so this top matches what I want and it just seems more stylish than a normal V-Neck top.
So what do you think about this outfit ? (: It has been awhile since I properly wrote a fashion outfit post which is the reason why I started my blog in the first place and now I am getting back to it. So do look out for more ~ Have a lovely day x

Penang Day 3 x 4 - Penang Hill - Strait Quay - Sekeping Cafe
" And then I realized , adventures are the best way to learn"
Woke up to the ringing alarm at 9am and I have never felt so tired and excited at the same time, trying to get ready for breakkie and a day full of adventure. For day 3 we went to the Penang Hill since it's a pretty famous tourist area, it costs about RM 25 to get there since it's a bit further from all the areas. At the area, you have to purchase a ride ticket up the hill for about RM 15 (if you show them your student pass).
The view up there is super stunning, it overlooks the whole penang and it's more than just a hill. There are a lot of fun-filled activites up there with a little extra fees, we paid RM 10 to get our photos taken and printed with the machine w their decorations and another RM5 to enter into this cute zone with lots of adorable deoration like the dwarf village, bee farm, bunny area and lavender field. Everything is just super cozy.
We got con:
After exploring around the area for a bit, we stumble upon the food outlet to try their asam laksa which taste exotic. At the food outlet, there's this service which allow us to design our hand with wax to keep as a gift, we kind of got con there- so we went there to take a look , then there's this uncle that told us it's only RM 10 so we were like " why not, it's super cheap" then we kind of went with the process of making the wax hand (dipping in cold water and then hot wax which can hurt like hell if you're not prepared like me and then repeat for about 3 times) then after we were done with that- the uncle told us there's extra hidden costs to finish the wax hand which adds up to about RM 70 ++ , in the end we decided to still pay for it! So a note of caution to those that are going there to do the wax hnd, beware of the hidden costs.
So that's the wax hand that we did together, which is quite pretty to keep around as decoration despite the hidden costs. So we played around the Penang Hill for about an hour + - before heading off to sekeping cafe in georgetown for some refreshing tea, we had such a hard time finding it despite the GrabCar driver dropping us at the exact location. We walked a whole round around the area and realized that it's right infront of us all along, it's pretty hidden but the cafe is super unique with the ruined feelings of leftbehind, the owner design the cafe perfectly.
"Getting them soya"
"Where's mine?"
"MINE ! MINE"
So we went to explore around the area for some street-art and we stumbled upon a few which is super adorable, I am just super amazed by the amount of street-art in Georgetown. This is by far one of my favorite, since it's super funny and cute.
Our dinner at Day 3: Weld Quay Seafood restaurant, which is right opposite the sekeping cafe. We were super confused by the ordering system since it doesn't come with a menu, so we had to go over to the front to view the fresh seafood and places order there. But the seafood is really delicious x fresh, I love it so much and the price is super resonable. If you want to eat there , you should probably go early to avoid the crowd and get better order.
We ended off our day at Strait Quay, which is a shopping center just right beside the sea with Yacht and pretty views. We went to one of the bar to have two pint of beer, it's super stunning at night (perfect location to chit-chat) then before heading back to the hotel, we went to a sushi restaurant to pack 10 pieces of sashimi for RM 50 as our supper x strawberry at a supermarket along with a few beers to chill in our hotel.
Day 4
We started the day off with coconut ice-cream at Bodhi cafe, it's supposedly a famous cafe with the signature umbrella design. It's a little run-down but it's still quite artistic, it has a few street-art around the cafe as well. Sadly, the ice-cream doesn' come with the coconut shell so it looks just like any ordinary ice-cream.
This is the few street-art and it's quite cute, it can get a little too crowded at some time so we just wait arond the cafe until the crowd clears before we head off to snap some photos. Next, we head off to the macelister area to the mansion and get some souvenirs for my parent (which is the traditional pastries) .
Everything there is just super classic, super worth the visit! After which, we head off to a korean restaurant to have dinner because we were cravings for some BBQ meat, it's the "Daorae restaurant" we receive so much free food and services there, we ordered the RM 95 set and a bottle of soju and we got the egg-soup and pancake for free. The cashier even offer me a little candy right before I leave! x
At night, we headed off to Strait Quay for some starbucks drinks to chill down and head back to the hotel. At around 9-10pm, we make a sudden impulse decision to visit the nightmarket for some BBQ prawns x stingray to pack it back as supper, it was the best best decision ever because the food is super tasty. The nightmarket looks pretty modern and didn't look what I expected it to look like.
That's all for our day 3 x 4, day 5 will be up in a bit! I will be talking about how we switch to a new hotel for a-day stay and how the experience is like, there's even real-life close experience of nearly being robbed. So stay tuned ~
