MSIA SGP & JPN ♥

I'm back!! ただいま〜 I was only on holidays for 2 weeks but it's been a long time since I last updated my blog. I probably won't be going into details about the trip as it's also burred in my mind. I can't even recall exactly what happened. Everything just happened so fast and seems like many months have already passed. I just know that I had a great time, I got to see amazing places and the highlight was eating and stuffing my face everywhere I went.
MALAYSIA
So my holidays started off in Malaysia, I stayed in Park Royal. Seemed center to most things which I found really convenient :) There was food everywhere in Msia, I loved it. One thing I didn't love was the humidity but that was expected. Here are the food pics!!
The first one is hawker style food, second is at the night market mmm yum, third is the Old Town right outside the hotel & lastly Japanese buffet at Zen in Sunway Pyramid. It was really nice jap food in msia! 
We went to a lot of shopping malls and here are a few I managed to take photos of. The inside and out of Pavilion.. such an amazing shopping center.. huge inside. The large promotional space for Clarins was at KLCC and I also visited Sungei Wang which had more local brands I think. Was fun in there, it was like a maze!
The first pic is of my bestfriend and I on our way to Singapore! Second is at Melaka, third is at ZOUK. I had an amazing time there, so much fun, drinks, music and dancing. The last pic is of us on the way to Zouk. Sorry my photos are all over the place haha.. The photo below is at Sunway Pyramid.. deco was so pretty quite asian on the other side but this side was like a dream land. Lot's of fairylights, animals and pretty things.. 
KLCC! Twin Towers, amazing from beneath and inside hehe.
SINGAPORE
We were in Singapore for a very short period of time. We arrived after lunch, slept and left the next morning, literally. The first image is mandarin chicken rice at the Mandarin Hotel. If I remember correctly, it was at the restaurant called Chatterbox. Was delicious!! Second is the Casino at Sentosa. We visited so many places in that afternoon, so much to see and do but not enough time! The last two photos are from the ferris wheel. Looking over Singapore was seriously beautiful. Can't wait till the flower garden is complete. It's going to look even more breathtaking. I can't believe I didn't get to shop in Singapore.... FAIL.
JAPAN
2 nights in Malaysia, 1 in Singapore, an 11 hr transit in Shanghai and we finally arrive in Japan! All this within one week. Hectic. Tiring and crazy. We landed in Osaka first as planned and was about to head to Tokyo when the earthquake happened. We were so lucky to have missed our bullet train to Tokyo or we'd be stuck there not knowing what to do. I was supposed to meet my brother who livess in Ibaraki but plans fell through.. His area is very near to Fukushima where the nuclear explosion has taken place.. It was and still is a heartbreaking situation. Let's continue praying for Japan.. and the whole earth..
Although we didn't get to go to Tokyo - our main destination - we were thankful to be safe and to be on holidays. My best friend and my parents were really worried and told us to come back so instead we flew back to Malaysia for the rest of the week.
On a brighter note, we were lucky enough to enjoy what we could. We ate ramen, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, sushi & more. We didn't fit much shopping into our jam packed holdiay but the experience made it worthwhile.
We stayed at Swissotel in Namba and the morning we had to leave, all we had to do was go down to level 3 and catch one Rapid train to Kansai International Airport. Things in Japan are so convenient. I really miss it.
Here's me in minnie mouse and my friend in her pikachu!
We've been talking about our Japan trip ever since high school days and we were stoked to make it happen. We were both hugely disappointed to cut short time in Japan and cancelling all our plans in Tokyo, but we had an amazing time. Malaysia, Singapore and Japan, is a definite must-go destination! My brother and my family in Japan are safe, thank you to everyone for your concerns.. Really touching. Let's keep supporting JPN and others in need!

Vivian 3 Tone Green ♥

I'm updating with less than 8 hours to go before my flight!! I've been meaning to post this review on my beloved new lenses.
So here it is, the Vivian 3 tone in Green with flash :) The series also comes in blue, brown, grey and violet! Green's always my favourite so I decided to pick this one to see how it looks. I like that it doesn't have a strong black ring around the edges. It's enlarging effect is great, it does that without making me feel or look like an alien. For those who are curious, it is a 1 yr disposable although i'd still recommend not to have it that long, it's 8.6 in base curve and 14.5 in diameter. It is from Sth Korea by the brand Vassen :)!
Here's the packaging and what the actual colour looks like. I'm plano so I have the non prescription ones but there is -0.50 to -3.00 available if you need :) Free cases with every pair purchased too btw ~ I love how the case is green, perfect for these lenses.. it'll come in handy when I'm in a rush, I'll know exactly which lenses are in which case! It's definitely enlarging, more natural than those huge black ones, comfortable and it's greeen ♥
Just a few extra close ups. Gives a slight halo effect but unlike the geo nudies that also give you the halo, this is more detailed so it's not as obvious which I like. 
Will be back in 2 weeks time lovelies. Hope you enjoyed this post and expect more in the near future!! I should probably try and sleep a few hours before my bf comes to pick me up and sends me to the airport! EXCITEMENT!!

Catching Up

Overdue posts..This was saved in my draft for a while! I was meant to do my Vivian 3 Tone Green circle lense post tonight but I ran out of solution so I didn't want to open the bottle and waste it hehe.. It's on it's way!
So, in the meantime here's half an outfit post. Hopefully get better outfit shots next time :)!
Ate at TGI Fridays. Honestly, not my fav place. Probably won't go back for the food hehe.. on my first ever visit I had some aluminium foil stuck in my buffalo wing wrap and it tasted like metal.. so sour and GROSS. Don't even know why I bothered to go back. I guess it's close and convenient at times.
Last minute errands tomorrow!! Flying on Sunday!!
