Long story short, June solemnization did not happen, and neither did Kimmy propose (Most of my friends were like, NO! DON'T MARRY WITHOUT A PROPOSAL!!), so we pushed back our dates to 30 September 2018. Well our key collection was pushed to next year's first quarter anyway, so lucky us!

Preparations is also undergoing right now. We booked a lounge at Raffles Town Club for our ROM ceremony, and had gotten my gown customized by Yulia. I swear Yulia is amazing, not sugar coating my words just because she is my sponsor but because she really made my dream came true! I first met her last November to discuss about gown customizations, at that point I wasn't even engaged yet hahaha. I just had a BTO coming which confirms the fact that I will get married some time this year. So being a girl, I was extremely ambitious with my wedding gown and had all sorts of ideas before I even knew what wedding I had actually wanted.

So I told Yulia, I want a dark dress for my gown, with glittery galaxy prints to it. It has to look cute, but classy too. And guess what? In early July, I received the first photo of my dress and I was blown away.


Yulia actually hand painted the prints can you believe it!! Now I can't wait for the rest of my gowns to arrive hahaha.

Gowns aside, me and kimmy had also thought of getting door gifts for my guests during the ROM. Then again, it is going to be a closed ceremony for just my immediate family, and most people don't give gifts during ROM right? Hahahhaha.

To be honest I don't really know if we are ready for the ceremony. Kimmy has yet gotten his gown, we have yet found a photographer for our ceremony... (Still contemplating between videographer and photographer.)

Location is set, solemnizer is set, food and time is set.... Yet to visit the printing shop for the invitations, and I will start working tomorrow.

Time is ticking and I feel like I still have plenty to do, yet I don't really have much to do.

Guess I should make up a check list soon just in case I miss out anything.....

Looking exactly like the original Gaston Luga Classy series, the Classy Mini has enough space for you to store all of your essential. Though a makeup pouch would probably not fit in if you have a long wallet like me. Then again, I only bring along my blush and lip tint when I head out, so it's actually pretty convenient!


I really love how Gaston Luga always has super sleek and minimalistic designs. Now it even comes in different sizes. What's more, the Classy Mini comes with changeable flap top that allows you to switch with other different colors as you wish! Making the Classy Mini suitable for any and every occasion!


You get a free flap top with every purchase now! And the flat tops comes in 3 different colors:
Pink, Burgundy and Brown


I got myself the brown one because it's very neutral, good for every occasion! Then again the black looks extremely good... I actually prefer the original more than anything else hahaha!


You can also get free shipping + 20% off as tax rebate (from non-EU country) when you make your purchase now.
On top of that, get 15% OFF the remaining price after the rebate check out with my unique discount code: veevi15!

So I asked my mom and Kimmy if I should take up this assignment because I don't usually do reviews for things that I don't believe in, and I am not the kind to believe in massaging gadgets. Mom got this back massage seat layer thingy and it had proven it's usefulness to a new low, and that cost S$300 over, my god.

Long story short, I took up the assignment, and the massager was delivered to me 2 days after I replied the email. Fast or what?! Okay, you probably feel like it is only natural that I get the best service because I am sponsored and all, but nooooooo. I searched up on MIUVO's reviews on Lazada, and many buyers feedback that they really received their massagers within a few days!

Happy me unboxed the massager almost immediately and had a look first. Didn't get to try as of yet because I was heading out at that point of time, but doesn't stop my excitement from receiving a new huge-ass parcel knocking at my door, huehuehuehuehue....


Did I forget to mention I almost dropped it when I was unboxing? Sharing that glorious moment with you guys.......


My heart stopped. Thank god I caught it in time!!

Here are few key points I summarized and posted onto my ig story the other day because many people were inquiring!


Going at only $179, this massager is a steal. This one-of-a-kind Singaporean foot massager design has both anion and heel massage feature, combined with soothing heat therapy, there are three different intensity and massage functions for you to chose from. Their manual also recommends what mode is more suitable for which situation! It really helps me a lot since I do quite a bit of event jobs, and I have to stand for long working hours. It gets especially painful if I gotta stand for 10 hours straight for 4 consecutive days during IT Shows. Those are the worst, I could barely walk the next day when I wake up.

I especially love that it massages the heels to help soothe the ache in my feet after work. It turns off on it's own after 15 minutes, so you don't end up dozing off and forget all about it the entire night later on. It is also not good to massage your feet for too long according to some acupuncture thingy, so having this timer really helps! I almost dozed off a couple of times sitting at the sofa with the massager on, but because I am a light sleeper, I become awake by the time I get onto my loft bed. -ugh-

Only downside is that the size of the foot pouches are a bit big, as I massage I could feel my heels slowly edging towards the back of the massager. Which is both good and bad because I get to massage my heels thoroughly, but then I would miss the footing for the ball of my feet. So what I do is keep wriggling around so I get best of both worlds hahahahaha!

Apart from the FootDelight Massager, Miuvo also carries a couple of other massagers!


What? Chose one? Who am I kidding, I want them all to cover my full body, LOL. I might as well get their massage chair, in that case xD.
I am not young anymore, old bones and muscles need especially lot of attention, hahahahahaha.


Yet to try, but I'm already sold. It looks super comfortable, and it is on offer now! Going at S$1,299? Freaking steal. I'd totally get it if my BTO comes next month, hahahahaha. Pfft, it's only coming next year.
If you are a fan of massages, you should not miss out the offers they have right now on their website. The FootDelight that I own is going at. S$159 now, and they also have many other offers on their website for you to browse from! Don't forget to share with me your reviews if you get it!

Then came college life and I moved onto macbooks, external keyboards were no longer a thing anymore. It even feels weird to use a mouse these days because I am way too used to using drawing tablet, otherwise the mousepad itself. Is this how passion dies? Because equipments are no longer interesting?

Whatever it is, I am dead immersed in the land of clicky noises. Sound of Lofree Four Seasons filling up the room blending into Blackpink's Du-du-du.

Here's a few thing about Lofree's Four Season Keyboard:

1 It's a Mechanical Keyboard
2 It is wireless
3 It has a retro finish
4 It's designed for Mac.

You read it right, it's specially designed for Mac! Ever since I shifted to Mac, I had to throw away my keyboards from back when I was using Windows since they won't come into use anymore. I tried looking for mac keyboards, but there aren't many options in the market. Pretty mac keyboards are as rare as rainbow appearing in the night skies.


Although Lofree's Four Season keyboard is designed for macintosh, it also comes with an option for you to switch between Windows/Android & Mac/iOS. The tiny button on the right side of the keyboard allows you to easily switch between different platforms. Next to it is the bluetooth/on/off switch which allows you to chose from using it wireless or wired. With that said, just above the switches is a USB port that allows you to wire the keyboard to your computer.

Best part about this keyboard is that it allows you to pair up to 3 different devices at any time. Once paired, you can easily switch it between different devices with shortcuts: fn + 1, 2, 3.

Inspired by the four seasons, this Lofree range comes in 4 different design!


I was so spoilt for choice I had to do a roulette to decide which one to get. I eventually got the Autumnal Grey. Good thing it goes well with my table and macbook, hahahaha.


As much as I love the pretty round keys Lofree has, it really does require a little bit of getting use to. Prolly because I haven't touch a keyboard in eons, though this feels good, it feels extremely new to my chubby fingers. Kimmy was raving about how comfortable it is to type in while not forgetting to complain about how annoying macbook keyboard is!

Alright, here's what you guys have been waiting for.
You can purchase your own Lofree Keyboard through this referral link, and get 20% off your total bill!

Time for me to invest in a mouse now that I have a wireless keyboard at work. I can't wait to switch over to iMac when the new house arrives!

Yes, yes I turned 26. Surprise surprise y’all.

Ok, let’s cut to the chase. I’ve been looking forward to my Day 9 Japan itinerary even before I embark on my one month trip. I had made Kimmy book us a MariCar drive during our stay in Tokyo. That was probably the first activity on our to-do list when we arranged a trip to Japan. The last time I visited Japan, I didn't have a driver's license, and this time, since both me and Kimmy had gotten our license, so why miss the chance!


We had booked the evening slot due to numerous safety reasons. Like we wouldn't want it too early because we may still be in slumber mode, and cannot focus on the drive. We also wanted to be alert enough to fully enjoy the drive safely. Plus, it's summer. Trust me when I say the sun was crazy. There are also many different slots to chose from after you have confirm your booking with them through Facebook or email. And that's it! You've reserved yourself an unforgettable drive of a lifetime! Next was getting our IDP (International Driving Permit) in Singapore. Remember to pack along your driver's license too, because you'll need it for verification! And the rest is really just waiting for the day to arrive hahahhahaha.

When we first arrived at MariCar Akihabara, we were told to come back later because we were an hour early, LOL. So we went to walk around and return at about 5:45PM, for the 6PM drive. God, when we went back the second time, most of the cute outfits were taken already, :( Karters from the same time slot had already signed in earlier, and chose their favorite onesies. On the bright side, we were not on team Mario like everyone else hahaha.


We were then told to fill in the liability waiver form and sign in using their iPad. We got the procedures in reverse because it was so crowded, you'd usually be required to make payment and sign the liability waiver form first before choosing your outfits. After which, you'd be grouped with other people from the same time slot based on nationality and language spoke! We were grouped with 4 other Koreans from Daegu, hahaha. People at MariCar can speak many different languages, so fret not! You'll be in ultra safe hands so long as you follow their instructions. After you are done locking up your items, and changing into your onesies, you are good to go!!

Our guide for the day was Ken! He speaks really good English, and is really funny! What I really love about Ken is that, he is extremely attentive and protective of us. He will make sure drivers don't get too close to us, or cut in front of us to cause the group to separate because there are drivers like that and it is really really dangerous. Ken brought us over to the garage and gave us a quick crash course on how to operate the go-kart. It is relatively easy, especially if you have a driving license. Only new things to remember is the hand signals from the guide, for us to slow down, line up in single file or stop in pairs kind of thing. Kimmy got us the 3-hours night drive package @ 10,000 yen, which brought us to the ever famous Rainbow Bridge! It was crazy, the drive on the bridge was plain AMAZING.


Kimmy brought along his own GoPro to video our ride. MariCar also provides mounting for you if you have your own camera. Otherwise, you can also rent the GoPro from them if you wish to video down your journey. It is illegal to use your phone while driving in Japan, so you don't actually get to take videos or photos along the journey, unless you are stopped at the traffic light waiting for it to turn green. The guide will also help us take photo along the way and send it over to you when you return back to the shop.

But if you are taking the same package as me, they will stopover at Odaiba, Aqua City for a toilet break! Over there you can see amazing night view and take nice photos! Or you could be like one of my group mate, he brought along his digital camera and sling it around his neck. He spammed his camera every time an opportunity arises! I personally chose not to because I really just wanna enjoy the drive and not feel cautious at every turn, feeling scared of scratching my camera and all, hahahaha. And dayum, that choice was right. I literally sped at 70km/h when we were going down the Rainbow Bridge loop!

Here's the video from our drive, a pity the camera died half way.. We didn't get to capture the night lights at Ginza on the way back to Akihabara. If you are planning to use an action cam, bring along a portable charger and charge during the 20 minutes break just in case it dies!


It was overall a really amazing and crazy experience! Wish I had brought along an action cam to film too, what a waste, :(
Here is the summarized step by step guide to your MariCar experience:

#1 Plan your itinerary & chose your route!

#2 Contact them!
Contact them through their Facebook or find them on their webside! If you are contacting them through Facebook, Chappie the robot assistant will help get you started.

#3 Get your International Driving Permit!
After Chappie is done with your temporary reservation, go get your IDP! MariCar will ask for photo verification in order to finalize your reservation.

#4 Get ready for the trip!
It's as easy as this! I would recommend the 3 hours evening route so you won't get burn under the scorching hot sun. I'm not sure if they run during winter though! You might want to check with them if you are visiting during winter!

Now some pretty photos taken by our guide, Ken!


It is as their slogan says, once is never enough!
