BELLOJELLOZ TURNS 18

This is a S U P E R belated post hahaha but better late than never? 

soooooo I turned 18 on the 4th of July! Honestly this year I wasn't planning to celebrate it or anything. cuz like well a few months back, I was just trying to move on from a horrible break up and was just basking in the love my friends showered on me and feeling very contented :-) 

but hey, one day on the way home from tuition my dad suddenly asked me how I wanted to celebrate my birthday this year. He felt that it should be abit special than usual cuz it was the 18th!!!!

Long story short we settled on a apartment hotel-ish place :-) 

super thankful for such a sweet & thoughtful father hehe.

  It's not everyday that I get to celebrate my birthday so I was really excited about planning for it!!

Really wanted a nice theme so that everything else would fall into place more easily and everyone can dress up too hehe. Was deciding between black&white and 90's but in the end after much deliberation I decided to go with

Prints!!!! I felt black&white might be abit too boring and 90's is abit too common. 

I love prints anyway :-) 

After I got the theme down I went ahead with doing  up the invites! 

I had planned to invite about 20+ people? all of them mean a lot to me in one way or another, so I decided to choose different prints and give each of them a personalised invite :-) I made them myself individually okay!!! hehehehehe not the easiest thing to do, quite tedious actually but I was really happy with how they turned out :-)

Was so glad looking at them in a slideshow style (after I compiled them into an instavid). Of course these aren't the complete invites I included the details and all in the actual invites :-)

I really wanted to celebrate my birthday on the actual day itself? 

THANK GOD I COULD! cuz exams ended on the 2nd for me and the 4th for everyone heh.

SO MUCH SHIT TO LUG OVER

was suppose to meet Seb at tamp at 11..? but i turned up are 12:40/1 OMG i'm forever late :-( 

she was so nice about it I felt so lucky to have such an understanding homie T.T she was gonna follow me to the hotel first to set up and all, so sweet of her!!!!

we headed to Park Avenue Hotel at clarke quay area!! kinda far from tamp but well the train ride really didnt feel all that long cuz we were just talking and camwhoring away HAHAH

It drizzled abit when we got to clarke quay.... :(((( 

one of the worries I had when booking the hotel room was whether it'll be able to house all my guests and like if it'll be spacious enough! I wanted an apartment style one cuz I felt it'll feel more cozy and chill to hang around hehe.

but omg, when I checked into the room I fell in love immediately..... 

IT IS SO PRETTY, WAAY NICER THAN EXPECTED?!?! 

I believe Seb fell in love at it at first sight to0. Cuz when we checked in, we literally just dropped all our stuff and ran around screaming, jumping and laughing HAHAHAH

it has 1 living room, 1 kitchen and 2 bedrooms :-)

blowing balloons with da sebz

blowing the balloons was actually an extremely tedious task?!?! like even though we had pumps and all our fingers DIED from tying the knots on the balloons HAHA all 60 of them man. 

After FINALLY blowing all the balloons, we just laid in them and took pics hehehe

Stella & Em came afterwards to help me with the alphabets, streamers and blowing up some leftover balloons HAHA and tada that was about it :') the deco was rlly simple and all but I rlly loved it!

Cuz it was put up with love and help from ma friends & it had my fav colour purple in it :-)

After deco, it was finally time to go wash up and change out of our lepak clothes HAHAHA

Seb wore stripes, stelz wore paisley and em wore a floral hehe
