☄ HAPPY NEW YEAR ☄

Good bye 2014, hello 2015.

So much has happened in the past 12 months — lots of unforgettable memories and tough moments. Some days seemed to just drag on for ages and I just want to sleep forever. Some days, I find myself laughing so much that my face hurts and I wish the day would never end. I have made new friends, rekindled old friendships and weed out toxic people. And honestly, I am relieved that 2014 is over and done with. I have been stuck in a rut for the last few months and the new year, as cliche as it sounds, is a fresh start. Enough second-guessing every single thing I do, enough procrastinating, enough worrying over things I have no control over, enough being bitter, enough crossing oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me. A new year for new adventures, new opportunities, and a new me.

Since I did this last year, here's the best bits of my 2014:

Selfies with Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus from the Walking Dead. Enough said. 

I got to hang out with / bask in the presence of the lovely Alyssa of ordinarypeople and Eric! 

Fulfilled my teenage dream to see Hellogoodbye live, got photos taken with them and a pizzacat.

Sweet moments with my furry babies are always a highlight of my life.

Got some boob action goin' on at a Final Fantasy event. I announced that I just HAVE to win the first prize in their lucky draw because it would be hilarious if I did and somehow, that happened. 

I had a strange good luck streak going on since then because I won premiere tickets to see X-MEN DOFP (I saw Hugh Jackman irl), How To Train Your Dragon 2 tickets and another insta contest. :'D

Basically the best photo of my bf and I. And a lovely birthday celebration and movie under the stars. We watched Mulan, in case you were wondering.

 New shoes are obviously gonna make it to this list of 2K14's Best Moments. I got my UNIF & Deandri babies on sale. Those Tequilas (2nd pic) were my best buy ever - got them for $50. BOOM. *mic drop*

Universal Studios with the boyfriend. Also to a bday party at a indoor playground where I was more excited about it than the rest of the children were. I was definitely running all over the place.

I became 22 (cue Taylor Swift's song). The boyfriend brought me to an italian restaurant because I love spaghetti. And of course, I gotta treat myself! Hello, my beloved UNIF Choke boots. 

And I chopped my hair short! Probably one of the best thing that I did for myself this year. Also, Jennalee, a gorgeous and super talented artist I got to know on insta, drew me *u* 

Felt like college was going to go on forever but we survived and graduated. 

I met my youtube queens Jenn Im and Stephanie Villa. Still can't process the fact that it happened.

And of course, any gatherings with my precious sweethearts are the best. Usually resulting in ordering lots of pizzas, fries, Cards Against Humanity, watching movies and all sorts of hilarity. 

"new year, new me" I say as I overtake the body of my next host.

I hope 2014 was an amazing year for you and 2015 will be even better. x

I MET JENN IM & STEPHANIE! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

Here are my paintings of Jenn Im and Stephanie Villa! (◡‿◡✿)

When I found out that my queens of youtube were going to be here in Singapore for the Digital Fashion Week, I knew I HAD to meet them. Jenn actually visited earlier this year but I didn't get to see her properly because she had to leave early (but she was an angel & commented so I wasn't too sad) . I definitely wasn't going to let the opportunity slip by again!

I figured the perfect gift for them was a painting because Jenn drew me last year during her Bullseye University livestream! I actually had to redo both of them because I was sooo out of touch with traditional mediums. But I thought giving an actual painting would be much better than a print out of a digital artwork.  I am really, really happy with how the paintings turned out :')

*✲ﾟ* 31ST OCTOBER: DFW MEET & GREET *✲ﾟ*


The meet and greet event was 12 to 2 pm and thankfully I am finally ~free from school~ to be able to go for it. When I arrived right before 11 am, there was already a queue but it wasn't too bad ...yet. Soon enough, the queue started to get so long that I think it extended out of the building. Totally didn't regret waking up super early for this!


While queuing, I got to meet the other DFW bloggers — David Guison, Nellie Lim, Willabelle Ong, and Chloe Ting. They were all so sweet and I was even able to personally talk to them for a bit. 
I got to catch up really quick with my lovely babe Willa, who's gorgeous like always. Even though she's been busy jet setting all over the world (cue my "Don't you need to go to school!" nagging) and we have not hung out properly in ages, I am so proud of her and happy to hear that she's doing well! 
♡ ( •⌄• ू )✧ Ahhh it was great to meet one of my fav bloggers, Chloe Ting!!! I have been following her blog & lookbook for more than 2 years. She's such a sweetheart and I'm so glad we got to chat! She even took a photo with me on her camera!! *o* Thank you for always inspiring me, Chloe!!

✌️ I am so happy I got to meet David too! I have been following his blog for a while now and needless to say, his fashion style is A+.

And y'all need to pinch me because I still cannot begin to believe that this happened:


(´♡‿♡`) Soothingsistaaa ~ Extremely happy I got to meet & hug this rad as heck babe Stephanie!!! She's even more gorgeous in real life *u* She even told me that I look great (something along those lines - I was too excited) and I barely managed to squeak out a "not as great as you!!" back. You have no idea how much that means to me, coming from someone who's been such a huge inspiration to me.
I LOVE YOU, STEPH!



(❁´▽`❁)*✲* It's been a few days and I still cannot believe I actually got to actually meet, talk to and hug my queen, Jenn Im! (hey it rhymes!) She is absolutely beautiful in real life and her smile has such warmth and an infectious quality to it. I was just so stunned that I was actually meeting someone who has been a role model to me, someone who I never thought I would get to meet because of how far apart we are and someone who I could only see as pixels on my computer/phone screen. I could barely function properly (thank god I managed to scribble down a letter to Jenn with everything I wanted to say) in front of my all time favourite youtuber that I have been watching since 2012! She is the most genuine, down to earth and raddest babe ever and I am grateful to be able to meet her irl!
I told her that she drew me during her livestream last year and so I did a painting for her as a gift in return. And before I said anything else, she said, "Oh you're Cherylsaurus!!" so I think my life has been made and I can die happy because Jenn actually remembers me from all the way back then?? I mean seriously, just how amazing can this babe be? ♡ Even though our time together was short, I just felt so blessed to be able to bask in her presence! I LOVE YOU 5EVA AND SO MUCH MORE, JENN ♡


I am eternally grateful to be able to meet my role models and the best babes ever. But also, I'm sad that the moment happened so fast. That's to be expected during a m&g and I get that they were trying to get through as many people as possible within such a short span of time. I just wish we could hang out and talk properly! Ah well, until next time I guess! x
