Curly Hair, Don't Care & Instagram



Behold, the first time I've done something to my hair other than simply getting it trimmed because I'm a boring person like that...but I've got my hair curled now!
Spent 4 tedious hours in the hair salon... In the first few hours, the curls were relatively tight and so curly that I looked like Bellatrix Lestrange incarnated and was slightly worried because I originally wanted large, subtle waves. But after a few more hours, it deflated and became much more natural - I only curled the ends because I didn't want to risk having an afro. So although it wasn't how I pictured it, I actually still quite like it and well, it'll straighten over time (:


On another note...I got an iPhone 5s! And let me tell you, it's my new baby and probably the most gorgeous thing I've seen that I'm so scared of dropping/breaking it - I got it in white & gold. It was a belated birthday present from my dad (see what else I received for my 18th here) for after exams and since it's not the world's cheapest phone...I'm planning to have this last me for at least 4 years (fingers crossed.) 

Anyway, that being said, I've finally got Instagram! So if you would like a peek into my daily life/musings, feel free to follow me @yueykabuey for updates and more!





Also, graduation tomorrow! So excited - can't wait! Wheeeeeeee

18th Birthday - What I Received


Apologies that this is super duper overdue - seeing as my birthday was 2 weeks ago. However, I just finished my last exam of high school ever (mini dance party) so I've just got round to taking these pictures. Also, there are tons of exciting things happening in the upcoming days so this space will be updated regularly!


Birthday parties in my house was never really a big deal. In fact, the last birthday 'party' I had was probably by 12th :P Especially since this year, it fell on exam week so...I actually had to still revise. Nevertheless, I got some really lovely things from my family that I'd really like to share! If these kinds of posts aren't your cup of tea...feel free to exit (:



From my aunt I received a nice body/wash package thing with skincare & body items! I must say that the floral printed heart shaped box is one of the nicest packaging I've ever come across...ever...and it just looks so sweet! Is it wrong that I like packaging so much? :P



From my youngest sister, I received a bunch of yummy goodies which is perfect for me because I've got the biggest sweet tooth on earth and those were perfect for the times I needed a bit of sugar rush when revision gets a bit tedious. I actually took these the day I got them because knowing me...I would probably finish them by the time this post is published...and I was right! All that's left now is the Snickers bar :P Also, did you know that they had Fudge Brownie flavoured Goldfish?! I certainly didn't...but I'm not complaining, those were good :P



She also got me a lovely sweater with a planet on it. I didn't realise that the things hanging down were astronauts until I looked closer! You can actually get the exact same sweater here!



My other younger sister got me a bunch of little things that was wrapped in the most ingenius and adorable way! Firstly, hair ties because a girl can never have too many and I'm forever losing mine. Oh and, she also bought me my own .com domain so...after things have died down a little, there'll be a little change around here ;)


A pastel jelly watch! My sister has the exact same one but in mint green. Of course, she knew I'm more of a pink person. I love how simple yet classy looking it is, and the gold details adds a nice touch (: Best part? It's not expensive at all! You can get it here and we can all be twinsies.


A gorgeous pair of rhinestone statement earrings..or as my sister put it, 'fancy schmancy earrings'! I'm actually planning to wear these for my graduation formal because I think it'll go very nicely with what I'm planning (:



I love me some rings so these would be perfect additions to my collection :D Super inexpensive too. I'm born in the year of the mouse so of course that was perfect (you can get the ring hereand I love how it looks like the mouse is nibbling/hugging your finger :') Anything nautical is right up my street.




She also knows that I'm a fan of maxi skirts and got me one in a turquoise-y colour! You can also get it here in a gazillion other colours :P


As today was the day I took my pen off my very last exam paper of high school, I had a mini celebration with a few friends to go watch The Amazing Spiderman 2! It had such a sad ending (in my opinion anyway) but I thought the movie was good overall (: I don't read the comics though...and some of the friends that did said that it deviated from the original comic storyline...? Either way, it's a must watch...even if you only watch it because you're a fan of Andrew Garfield or Emma Stone :D


On another note, my grandmother is coming to visit tomorrow - super excited!




If you still have exams, I wish you guys the best of luck! If not...hope you make the most out of your summer ;)

18 Things to do after exams

There's exactly one week to go until graduation and formal and then this is really it - I am done with high school. Don't know whether to be extremely excited or somewhat sad...maybe somewhere in between? I've always been the person that actually liked school because of all the awesome people that are in my year :') 
Anyway, my exams officially end on Tuesday and I've got 5 more papers between now and then so... D:
Revision full steam ahead. But, I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing so here are some things that I want vow to do after exams are well and truly over.


1. Curl my hair...finally
2. Be part of the Instagram crew
3. Learn how to play 'All of Me' by John Legend on the piano despite not touching it for about 2 years now
4. Eat. Sleep. Rave. Repeat.
5. Read 'The Fault in our Stars' by John Green before watching the movie
6. Bake more
7. Go paintballing
8. Go laser tagging
9. Have a movie marathon - Harry Potter anyone?
10. Go on the shopping spree...hopefully for winter clothing
11. Sort out the blog
12. Make an item of clothing from scratch - I'm thinking a circle skirt, two piece or kimono...
13. Take more outfit pictures 
14. Draft more blog posts
15. Do something DIY - perhaps make a floral headband or jewellery?
16. Paint my nails
17. Save up for university
18. Chill

Also, if you guys are anything like me and wish that summer could come sooner, here are some Pinterest (read: procrastination zone) pictures to fuel that summertime lust.




Oh and, I've also added a link on the navigation bar (above) with a blogroll that consists of some of my absolute favourite blogs! Of course, it isn't fully complete and I'll be constantly updating it.

P.S: Shout out to Su En who says she keeps up with my blog - even though I find that really hard to imagine :P
