Deepavali 2015

Lemme start by saying Deepavali was kinda a roller coaster for me this year. 

On the eve of Deepavali, I took off and was busy unpacking and arranging my items. Visiting with my family was only to 2 houses and in terms of friends, it was just one - Sharlini's and also I came after work which means no traditional costume. :'(

I really wanted to get henna this year. I didn't have the time and it's been over 2 years since I put on henna. I will try for either black henna or flash tattoos (gold) designs next year. 

 

On the actual Deepavali Day, I wasn't with Sharlini this day but she looked so gorgeous! And her lipstick just makes her pop so much more!!!

I on the other hand, didn't end up going traditional but instead more dressy and ready for town kinda look. 

With lipstick and make up still on.

The Power of Sunlight!!!

The only 2 houses for Deepavali visit. First was Papa's eldest brother.

Had the wisest conversation with an uncle who I must say, clearly fascinates me and is truly knowledgeable about so many things. 

 Towards the end of the day and my lipstick and make up is mostly gone.

Second house was at Pasir Ris. Momo Ma's house.

Camwhoring sessions with Raihan

My ring, the feather one broke.. :'(

And it got lost! Dammit! At least I'll have pretty wings as a charm on my charm bracelet soon!

With Zizi

My lovely SISTARS

The woman who gave us our camwhoring skills!!!

Mama is really truly the cutest!!!!

For once, I asked for help and got an OOTD shot.

Thank You Raihan!

Yup! Ankle boots with heels bitches! #CuzICan

Sharlini's Open House. It started earlier for the guys as they met up first. Unlike me who came rushing like a crazy woman from work. They look all swagged up in their Jippas. So handsome!

After Sharlini changed, it was time for me to borrow her bindi!!!! It's so pretty!

I sure as hell wanted Aideel, Ari & Vinod to have been here. It was so lovely, and I mean everything. I just felt that it would've been complete had you 3 been there and Foulmouth Babyface, you are truly missed by all of us. I can't wait for you to come back! I wanna give you a big bear hug and slap the hell outta you for leaving us for 2 months!!!! I really miss you. 

Please take care in the remaining time you have and also, do have as much fun as you can! We all wanna hear all about it! Bring a girl back!! hehehe

Tired as hell after this visit. So... Deepavali I had to have an outfit with a UK flag on my shirt! Hahaha, why not eh?

Let me end this post with 10 things. This post is more picture heavy and also it's my 3rd blog post of the day! The rare moments I actually have a breather and can blog during work. If not, it's insanity I tell you.

Lemme go on with it then.

Next year for sure, I know what I wanna do! More like a 10 MUST HAVES!

1. Bindi (Pretty Glittery Tiny Stickers)

2. Do my hair up all nicely

3. Have Make up on point

4. Even get my nails done, MANICURE!!!

5. Use heels or at least a nice pair of shoes

6. Get a SAREE!!! Yup I'll be 20 next year and it'll be my first time using one. Don't think I know how to tie the real one, so a ready made one will have to do. I cannot wait to buy & wear one!!!! 

7. DO HENNA!!!!!!!!!!

8. Carry a super cute clutch to add on to my outfit

9. Go visiting to houses like what Malays do for Jalan Raya, so not just 1 or 2 houses but to as many as I can.

10. Camwhore overload along with solo shots with people who hopefully will be decked out in traditional outfits too.

I can't wait for Deepavali 2016 when Deepavali 2015 just ended. I love dressing up! Can't help it!!! Only thing I am not quite looking forward to in 2016, is the fact that I turn the big 20. Ewwwww.

hahaha

Other than that, I am ready to embrace all things positive and overcome anything challenging and just be happy. Especially happy looking forward to festivities.
