A girls day out with bestie Joyce at the Samsung Super Sweet BFF party. I won the limited edition Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty smartphone!

December 6, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 


When you hardly ever get to meet the people that matter due to a myriad of "excuses" such as busy schedules, distance, no money, can't be bothered dressing up, no time, don't feel like going out and the like, nothing beats spending a full day out with them when you finally get the chance.

For bestie Joyce and I, we don't hang out as often as we did (when we were both students/classmates) anymore, but absence only makes the heart grow fonder!

 

Remember my previous chapter about the Super Sweet BFF Hello Kitty party that we decided to go together?

 

I headed to her place last Saturday morning and picked her up for our full day out!

 

We were excited and gushed about what the day had in store for us.

Our plan for the day was to have a catch-up lunch together before pampering ourselves with a girly afternoon of manicures, make-up makeovers, hair styling, taking lots of photos together, airbrush tattoos, catching a movie and so much more.

 

My Hello Kitty look of the day (for a competition)

 

I don't usually portray the "act cute" or put on the whole "oh-look-at-me-I'm-so-Japanese-I-must-be-kawaii" look, but this afternoon was an image I went for to match the Hello Kitty theme of the event.

You know I never fail to go in accordance to ANY themeparty, right? :D This was no exception.

 

Arriving on the red carpet at GSC Pavilion KL

I signed my name on the guestlist, we got ourselves wrist-tagged and were ready to start our day!

 

But before that, I was given a baby pink Hello Kitty press kit.

Inside, it was packed with so many goodies that the girliest of all girls could only love!

 

A Hello Kitty facial mask, glittery faux gems, custom-made Hello Kitty raspberry-flavoured candy,

bling decor-stickers & a Hello Kitty notebook all in a matching Hello Kitty baby pink goody bag.

 

Despite being already inside the event vicinity, we could not stop enthusing over the first thing that greeted us at the entrance. It was life-sized and probably the LARGEST decoration set-up of the party.

See it for yourself!

 

It was an enormous Hello Kitty arch made of baby pink helium balloons!!

 

Apart from that, we were totally blown away by the rest of the carefully-thought out decorations and interior

It really set us in the perfect mood for an all-girls day out!

 

One section of the venue was set in a Hello Kitty tea-party theme.

 

There was a delightful display of assorted pastries, candies, Hello Kitty cupcakes, strawberries and other desserts all in pink! How adorable

Even the drinks were pink. Check it out!

 

Sipping on a milky rosewater syrup drink,

popularly known as the 'Sirap Bandung' to the locals

 

We continued exploring the area and took even more photos as the time passed.

Just a little heads up, I'm going to regurgitate almost all the photos that of Joyce and I took of ourselves in this blog post. We will not be responsible if you get sick of our faces after your finish reading this :P:P

 

At the official photo wall of the Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty Super Sweet BFF party!


After some thinking, we then decided on what to treat ourselves with first.

As the manicure booth had a lesser queue at the time, the first thing we did was to get our nails done! :D

 

At the manicure booth

 

As I liked all the colours, the manicurist decided to give me a mix of all!

 

Done! She even stuck diamante blings and tiny Hello Kitty stickers on some of my nails

 

Next up, we headed to where all the dressing tables with huge & brightly-lit mirrors were!

Can anyone say, hello superstar?

 

Reminds me of an actual make-over studio! You know, the kind you see in movies?

 

We couldn't resist taking a selfie with it

 

I had my make-up touched up and got the make-up artist to draw pink whiskers on my cheeks…

 

… while bestieJoyce got her hair done in a pretty, fancy do!

 

Here I am waiting for my turn!

 

I waited for almost half an hour only to realize that I probably wasn't going to get my hair done anytime soon

The crowd was massive, particularly in the hair and make-up booths! Everyone was queuing up to get themselves snazzy new hairdos

 

Look how busy all the stylists were with the throng of enthusiastic girls!!

 

In the end, I didn't manage to get my hair done.:/  But no matter! BestieJoyce did :)

Look at her really cool Roman princess-like hair braids! I absolutely loved it

 

It was sectioned & braided into several parts, tied down, twisted into buns, bobby pinned into place

and all jazz that can only professional hair stylists could comprehend!

 

Having so many tattoos (real ones, mind you!) you would think that I am disinterested in airbrush tattoos

But you're wrong! I was really keen and even queued up for it. :D:D

 

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get my Hello Kitty airbrush tattoo done as well!
I shall tell you why, in a bit. But first, photos with my friends

 

Jojo & I

 

Kate & I (thanks for the photo, babe!)

 

Yeeing & I (thanks for the photo too, babe!)

 

bestieJoyce and I

 

Audrey, Cheesie & I

 

So many of my other girl friends were there; it was near impossible to take a photo with ALL of them.

Anyway, bestieJoyce and I continued with our day's activities…

 

Live Facebook updates of the Hello Kitty event!

 

The huge screen was in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kittylimited edition smartphone!

How smart of Samsung to decorate it as such, instead of just a boring black screen, ey?

 

And guess who was on their Facebook live updates? *wink*

Thanks for the photo, Samsung!!

 

Hello Kitty usherettes showcasing the said limited edition Hello Kitty smartphone

 

I got to take a look & play around with the Samsung Galaxy Y. I liked it a lot!

 

An even closer look. Look at the cute interface, the icons and the wallpaper!!

 

I think this smartphone is a really cool entry-level phone for female, girlish youngsters who likes being online, virtually & socially connected and of course, one who loves pink and Hello Kitty!

Oh yes, which reminds me! If you purchase one, you will stand a chance to win a trip to the much talked about Hello Kitty Sanrio town! Details: here

 

Not too long after, our emcee of the afternoon,

Jojo Struys, had begun announcing the nominees of the 'Best Dressed' competition.

 

Guess what? I got nominated :D

Thanks Audrey!

 

Here I am with some of the fellow nominees for the Hello Kitty 'Best Dressed' competition!

 

Remember when I said I didn't get to do my airbrush tattoo?

Here's the story : I was queuing up for it for a long time until it was almost my turn! But suddenly, my name was called out to go onstage as a finalist for the said competition just before I began my airbrush tattoo! Bye bye tattoo :/

 

But everything turned out better than expected, for I was one of the five winners of

the 'Best Dressed' competition and won myself that Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone!

 

As this was a BFF party for best friends, Samsung also gave the prize to the winners' best friend!

So by association, bestieJoyce won a Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone too!

The first thing I said to her was, "Chehwaaaaahh. Very lucky to be my friend, hor?" 

LOL I'm kidding!

 

SO HAPPY. I WON I WON I WON!!! :D:D

Thank you so much, dear judges and to Samsung!

 

Us being on film!

 

After all the hullabaloo was over, the final activity took to the stage.

The usherettes made sure the runway was completely clear of people, as a bevy of five beautiful Hello Kitty models sashayed into the venue and gave us a brilliant catwalk show, displaying all things girly & their Hello Kitty ensemble, of course!

 

Some of the models posing for countless cameras on the bright pink podiums

 

Want a closer look at ALL EIGHT of the Hello Kitty models?
Yup, I thought so. Here you go!
:D

 

 

The beautiful, lanky and feminine Hello Kitty models of the day onstage!

 

BestieJoyce and I loved their whole Hello Kitty get-up! Such creative outfits, not to mention adorable too

Our favorite was the one on the right, with the long, flowy gown comprising a lacy, satin corset with frills and ruffles for a skirt that bounced everytime she took a step forward. It was elaborate yet very chic! :D

 

Another one of, what felt like, three million photos we took that afternoon :P:P

 

Our final selfie before we adjourned inside for the premier screening of 'The Rise of the Guardians'

 

Upon entering the cinema hall, we saw that we were supplied popcorn (in a Hello Kitty box) and a drink!

I must say, well done to the team behind today's event! Everything, from the start of the event right till the very end, was done in the minutest details to make us feel special and pampered

 

Yay! Hello Kitty popcorn for all of us ;)

 

Before the movie began, we had a little time to selfie again :P

 

'The Rise of the Guardians' was a brilliant animated movie!


I left the cinema filled with fond memories of my childhood, of fairy tales and believing in the magic of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, the Boogeyman, the Easter Bunny and so much more.

The movie was not only hilarious at so many parts, it was laden with moral values and the spirit of friendship, love and adventure too. Oh, and not forgetting, lots and lots of snow :D

 

Here's to a wonderful start to December!

 

As we go on, we remember, all the times we, had together…

and as our lives change, from whatever, we will still be friends forever!

 

Yes, it's a song, if you didn't already realize

Thank you Samsung, for having us today. As if it wasn't obvious enough, you made us two very happy girls indeed!

The Sunday Times XI: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

December 2, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

Sunday is over and I've just finished half a jar of chunky peanut butter.

I'm a tad impressed by my urge to snack, especially at midnight LOL

 

So… what rocked my week?

The pinnacle is most certainly the fact that I won 'Best Dressed' in Samsung Malaysia's Super Sweet BFF Hello Kitty party! *throws confetti* 

 

This came down as quite pleasant surprise if I do say so myself!

I was gobsmacked when I was nominated. My name was called out as a finalist and finally, a winner.

 

Just me impersonating Hello Kitty for the afternoon.

 

It may be just a menial fashion award to some, but to me, I was over the moon :D

I think it's due to the sad fact that I've never really had much luck in terms of winning anything during events. I'm an absolute ill-omen at Lucky Draws/Lucky Dips; till a point that I've stopped harbouring so much as a glimmer of hope when numbers are being drawn out ;(;(

So yes, I'm overwhelmed. Really. Thank you, dear judges and Samsung Malaysia for my lovely prize of a Samsung Galaxy Y Limited Edition Hello Kitty smartphone!

 

At the Super Sweet BFF party with bestieJoyce

*Full blogpost soon!*

 

Apart from the above party, my last seven days kept me busy. Was out and about, as usual. I appreciate my off-days where I'm not frantically rushing one deadline after another or darting to one event venue to another.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy what I do. Just… whenever things begin to take its toll on you, all you want is just to be whisked away to paradise for a day where nothing requires your absolute commitment, solid attention nor expects anything of you.

I guess I just (sometimes) miss my me-time 

 

Monday. Where am I off to?

 

The start of the week (while I was still recovering from my bout of fever) saw me attending A Cut Above's charity gala ball : A Musical Evening for the Children at the Grand Ballroom of Sunway Hotel Resort & Spa.

I had a wonderful time at this event of love, kindheartedness and goodwill. It was my greatest pleasure to support this philantropic initiative by A Cut Above. They managed to raise more than RM300K for their efforts! 

 

Charity begins at home. But it mustn't stop there.

*Full blogpost coming soon!*

 

One rainy evening proved to be worth enduring the insane traffic jams to the city.

I was totally sold upon laying eyes on some gorgeous timepieces of various European make. It was my honour to hold them in the palm of my hand (very gently, mind you!! Each one of them costs a few grand!) and wear them for the night.

 

Attended the private wine & dine function of Red Army Watches Malaysia

*Full blogpost coming soon!

 

What's a week without some food-hunting?

Here are some of my top picks this week 


Lunchdate with bestiePam at Manhattan Fish Market @ E@Curve

Fully recommended: We shared a platter for two – loving the whole flame-charred tiger prawns!

 

Lunchdate with bestieJoyce at Malone's Irish Restaurant & Bar @ Pavilion KL!

I recommend the Stuffed Chicken Breast with Mushroom, which was what I ordered and loved

She enjoyed her Chicken Crepe Roll but it was too sweet for my liking

 

Weekends soon crept in and it can only spell P-A-R-T-Y for most of us looking to let our hair down.

Might as well go crazy over some drinks, loud music, bass-thumping beats and of couse, the company of your partymates while we still can ;)

 

My rave kakis. Someone's missing, ey?

Unfortunately, bestiePam was really tired that Friday and slept through it all! :/

 

Attended Showtek's techno/harstyle rave in Zouk Club KL

 

The weather today showed no mercy as it didn't stop pouring; not one bit!

I took this as the perfect chance to sleep in – the cool morning breeze lulled me back to dreamland quite instantly! It really has that effect on me 

The other half and I didn't go far for food today, we opted for some pub grub at our neighbourhood German bar, Deutsches Gasthaus!

 

Clockwise L-R: Pigs in a Blanket, Honey-Rum Chicken & Moroccan Chicken

(excuse the poor quality of the photograph, pub lighting can be inadequate!)

 

The food was simple & delicious for regular pub fare and kept me satiated me for a good full day.

Definitely somewhere I'd go back to eat again if I didn't feel like eating out too far 

 

And that's my week in a nutshell. 

 

As I said in my previous edition of The Sunday Times, tardiness won't be part of my blogging schedule anymore. I shall dedicate the whole of December to clear off ALL my backlog. Let the memories roll! So don't be surprised if you see blogposts of stuff which happened several months or years ago 

Heh. Guilty as charged, but never too late to rectify things. Have a great week ahead dearest readers! 

 

Much love,

 Jessicat

A super sweet BFF party with my bestie! Featuring the Samsung GALAXY Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone!

November 30, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

 

"Best friends are people you know you don’t need to talk to every single day. 

You don’t even need to talk to each other for weeks, 

but when you do, it’s like you never stopped talking"

 

If you've been a reader for several years, you'd know that I have two best friends in life.

Unfortunately, I hardly ever get to hang out with one of them anymore. Who is she?

 

The most recent photograph of us during Oktoberfest 2012

 

Us at Hennessy Artistry Penang 2012

 

Got ourselves matching shoes from Pedro last year!

 

Two years ago at World Cup 2010 – clearly we were both rooting for Spain!

 

Her birthday in 2009

 

My birthday in 2008

 

 

Shared passions and interests? We have many to boot. 

BUT due to our busy schedules, distance, workload and time apart from each other gave us no possible circumstance to meet as often as we used to. I know you might say, if you guys really wanna meet or hang out, ya'll would make the effort to.


Made a point to meet up right after we both came

back from our studies in the UK & Australia in 2011 respectively!

 

Lately, we've been thinking of having a baking sesh at her place or even just spending a girly time shopping, painting our nails, sharing the latest, juicy gossip over tea time, enthusing over the latest collection of designer bags and gorgeous high heels, karaoke session and having some coffee & dessert out in the city. Until…

 

When I received the invitation for this event, I was stoked 

 

I stopped planning as Samsung's Super Sweet BFF party just gave me a brilliant idea!

I can invite her to join me for a lovely afternoon out for a girly affair, in conjunction with this launch of Samsung's Galaxy Y Hello Kitty limited edition smartphone.

 

Where? GSC Pavilion

When? 1st December 2012 (2.30PM)

What? Samsung Super Sweet BFF Party

Dress code? Pink, white or blue 

 

So.. what will we be doing at the party? 

There will be a screening of 'Rise of the Guardians', a manicure session, an airbrush tattoo session, a make-up makeover session and so much more!

 

We're basically going to have an awesome girly time together, catching up, take lotsa pretty photos (of ourselves, no less LOL) and do things that best buddies do! 

 

I think we deserve it, no? :D

(Photo taken circa 2010 btw)

 

Samsung's super sweet party for BFFs is certainly not to be missed, especially if you're a fan of all things Hello Kitty! 

If you've noticed, I'm actually a huge fan of Hello Kitty. I've no idea why I used to detest Hello Kitty so much during my pre-pubescent years but looks like I'm just a late bloomer in the Hello Kitty craze after all.

 

I miss my long red hair!

 

 

Feeling like a child all over again

 

Also, there are 10 free phones up for grabs at the event, so make sure you put on your best Hello Kitty outfit/look/accessories anything to win Best Dressed!

 

 

The Samsung Galaxy Y Hello Kitty edition is full-featured smartphone which has access to Android apps for social networking and messaging! 

You won't ever lose touch with your bff anymore, that's for sure 

 

Our much younger selves. It's been too long! 

 

So, have you got a BFF that you'd love to spend a day with catching up as well?

You can get more information and win yourself passes to the exclusive Samsung GALAXY Y Hello Kitty Limited Edition event on their official Facebook page – here

 

 

Hope you have a blast with your bestie this Saturday! I know we will
