Halloween Special: Sentosa Spooktacular 2012

MynameisQUE;

<Sponsored> 

The Halloween season is here again! This year, I was privileged to attend the media preview of Spooktacular organised by Sentosa. This year, there will be 5 new haunted trails, namely the Ouija Board, Camp Berhantu, Deadly Doll Studio, The Land of Lost Souls and The Last Sequel. This year's Spooktacular will be held at Fort Siloso. 

Back in the 1980s, when we were part of the British colony, several forts defending our Singapore harbour were built. Of all forts built to defend our country, only Fort Siloso has been preserved which means to say that this year Spooktacular will be held at a place with so much history. This will also be the very first time in history that Fort Siloso is opened after the sun sets. On usual days, it will be closed at 6pm. Sounds exciting already? ;) 

Outfit Of The Day

Skater dress from Qiqi Plus, Vampire Cape and Carlo Rino bag from their Classic Catch Collection

Here are some pictures of the friends I made at Spooktacular. 

 

Verdict: I truly enjoyed myself and had a freaking good time! I would strongly recommend this!! I have to say that I am pretty thankful I had a media pass this time, otherwise the wait for the different trails might be pretty long because of the queue. If you don't mind paying a little extra, I suggest you get yourself the Fast Pass which will cost you an additional $25. 

What to expect from this year's Spooktacular? 

1) Lots of walking 

Please make sure that you wear comfy shoes to the event. 

2) Keep yourself hydrated 

Drink enough water because you will be perspiring a lot. Not too much because it's not very easy to find a toilet too. 

3) Bring a mini fan if you can 

I was perspiring so much the other night. Trust me, you will thank me after that!

4) Save yourself the hassle of dressing up 

Not everyone else will be as gung-ho as you! Dress comfortably. Your job is to enjoy the event! 

5) Don't be a spoilsport! 

Haha this year, I backed out for one of the trails because I didn't have a good feeling about it. I know I should have just gone for it. Tsk.... Such a spoilsport!! 

Anyway, tickets to this year's Spooktacular are selling fast!! If you are thinking of getting your hands on the tickets, you can get them online here.

Spread Your Wings And Fly

MynameisQUE;

One of my favourite dresses at the moment. You know, the thing about me is that if I really like a dress, I will keep wearing it as though I have nothing else to wear. I'm sure it's normal. I'd like to think that it is normal. 

Shades | Vincci 

Necklace & Earrings | Diva 

Dress | Qiqi Plus 

Shoes | Miss T from Sungei Wang, Kuala Lumpur

Spread your wings and fly, for you never know what you have in store for you at the other side of the world.

Batwing Cardigan: Bandung 

Flatforms: Far East Plaza

Necklace: H&M 

Bangles: Diva

Belt: Online

The strap of this flatforms have broken. I thought the flatforms look extremely cute. I bought it from Far East for $30. Sigh... I guess what mummy said was right. I should buy expensive shoes but of good quality.

RIP pretty flatforms.

My underwear haul from UK!

MynameisQUE;

To be honest, when it comes to online shopping, I'm still quite new to this. I only started shopping online ALOT last year probably because I discovered that there were quite a few blogshops selling plus sized clothes. I started shopping on Ebay last year too. It's quite an improvement for me lah, because I used to be a noob when it comes to this kind of things. So recently, I think I LEVELLED UP because I decided to do some online shopping from UK! Yes, the ones you just saw. It was my first time buying from an overseas site. This website was recommended to me by the owner of Qiqi Plus, one of my favourite online blogshops. :)

Meow meow, at first I wanted to get myself a dress but I changed my mind and bought some undies instead. For some reason, everytime I put my undies in the laundry, they'll disappear one by one so I told myself it's time to get new ones. Look at them. They're all so pretty and didn't really burn a hole in my pocket! Each piece is about SGD$6 which I think is really affordable and the items Yours Clothing offer are really pretty. Also, here's a tip. If you're planning to get some stuff.... here's some tips!

If you're on a budget, instead of checking out the whole site, why not check out the Sale tab first. Then you can choose what kind of apparels you're looking for. If you're into dresses like me, you'll reach this page. Then, make sure you click "Sort by: Price Low to High". Look at the prices. It's pretty affordable to me. However, you gotta always keep reminding yourself that it's in Sterling Pounds.

Here's an estimate;

 £Y x 2 = SGD $ What you have to pay

However, here's the downside. International shipping costs £10 which is about SGD$20. To be honest, it's quite expensive to me because there are sites like Asos which provides free shipping. So... I've got a suggestion. The next time I order from Yours Clothing, I'll probably have a spree so that we can order together + share the shipping cost! 

What say you?

Ending 2011 with a BIG BANG!

MynameisQUE;

Rynaque.com has gone from nothing to something and it has been an amazing journey. I know I have repeated this time and time again but I’m just really thankful for the support everyone has shown me. Readers rarely leave comments because I guess it’s quite a hassle to log into your blogger account just to say a few words, but judging from the number of readers I get daily, I know that a fraction of you do return back to this page every now and then. Lookout for more things on this blog next year. I promise you, things will get a little bit  a lot more interesting! 

Here are snippets of love from fellow bloggers I kept just to motivate me when I don't feel like blogging. <3 

This goes out to my generous advertisers.

Not forgetting the other brands I've worked with this year who has engaged me as their digital influencer! 

Manhattan Fish Market | Carlo Rino | Popeyes | Brands | Frank by OCBC | Pilot | Cetaphil | Lactacyd | Biore | Lip Ice | Chocomarvel | Sold.sg | Hada Lobo | Bio Essence | Tresseme | Re Fa Pro | Mediacorp Vizpro

Wow. For a new blogger, that's a whole list. 

And...

I'll be looking for sponsors, partners for this project which will be executed in March/April 2011, so do stay tuned to my blog and of course, my twitter account @RynaQUE for details of this. 

I'm not actually a "resolutions" kind of person, so here's a simple one. I'd hope that in 2012, I get to inspire, spread the love and to hopefully reach out to more people. Also, I'd like to be a more patient person, someone who doesn't give up easily and at the same time grow to be more independent and less reliant on the people around me. Also, I'd like to be a happier person. :>

Happy new year everyone! 

Keeping it real, always, 

RynaQUE <3

Birthday dinner at Fika Cafe and Bistro!

MynameisQUE;

It's been a week since I turned 19. Yay!

See. I love you all so much that I saved each and every one of your DP's from Facebook/Twitter to make this awesome collage. Thank you to every single one of you for your sweet kind wishes via Twitter/FB/Whatsapp/SMS/Calls. I'm very touched. :)

I'm sure you wanna know how I celebrated my birthday on the 26th September 2011. My bestfriend and me are both librans and our birthdays are only 11 days apart so we decided to celebrate it together. This time we headed to Haji Lane right after going to City Hall to do my hair and to buy the instax mini camera which I blogged about HERE.

We've never actually been to Haji Lane much so we decided to explore that place for the first time in our lives. Hahahahaha please don't make that face. Of course we've been to Arab street and Haji lane. Just that we've never checked out any of the shop houses there.

Girls being girls, we took pictures as usual.

One photo taken at the Blogshop. 

Dinner at Fika Cafe and Bistro. 

My bestfriend was very fickleminded. We actually made reservations for 6pm and then she told me to push it to 7pm. So I called and a cute guy answered the phone btw. :P  I changed the reservation and then she said.... "Too early or not ah? Eh change to 8pm ah". 

SO I CALLED TO CHANGE. 

In the end, at 7 plus, she told me she was hungry. (Okay I lied, I was hungry too. *Tuck in my belly*) So.... we headed to Fika and reached there around 7.15pm eventhough our reservation was for 8pm. 

Okay lah, cannot blame us because we skipped lunch too. 

Just imagine the gig in my tummy! 

I ordered Pucko - Tastes somewhat like Milo but it's from Sweden okay. Hahahaha

Bff ordered Honest Tea. - Which should be named HEALTHEA instead. 

Geddit, geddit? Healthy tea = HEALTHEA HAHAHAHA

It wasn't sweet at all, so if you drink it, confirm won't put on weight. Heehee!

Yours truly ordered their Swedish Meatball which is their specialty. 

It's delicious but I was freaking starving okay, so uh.... Thank god for the Potato which is the only source of carbo for dinner. Healthy, healthy. Very good. :P

My bestfriend ordered STEAK. Hahahaha I was shocked when I heard because my bestfriend is a small eater, but everytime I go out with her I tell her to EAT. Please lah, when you go out with me, there's no such thing as DIETING. Food is important. GOOD FOOD IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT! Kekeke. 

This is A +. I'm not really much of a red meat lover but this was delicious! 

Potato Wedges in cheese or whatever they call it. To be honest, I wasn't impressed by this at all. It's something I can also do at home, so even if you are a cheese lover, don't waste money. 18 Chef's bolognese cheese fries is WAYYYY better. 

I was too shy to turn around to snap a pic of the cafe so I guess a reflection will do yeah? :P 

Besides the camera that I bought for her, she also got another camera which her bf bought as a birthday present for her. And look!! It's the same camera as the one I won!! (Will blog about it SOON!! Promise!!) We both have same camera models now. See, BFF okay! 

As you can see, the colour tones for both photos are very different. My bff likes this yellowish mode (refer to the photo with me in it) and I like the normal white mode (yes, the right one). I don't like photos that make me look too yellow-ish. Sorry, just colour preference. :D

Here's a photo taken using her camera. I really like the photo except the annoying yellow colour thing and the DATE AND TIME. I told her the date and time makes it so ugly but she doesn't want to listen. Hahahaha see, we are bestfriends and have similarities but our tastes are quite different also. 

Wani, if you're reading this.... This date and time thing is dangerous for pretty girls like you, you know. If some psycho has access to your FB and looks at your photo, he can always say... 

"On the 26th September about 7, were you at Haji Lane???" 

*Psycho face*

HAHAHAHAHA 

If you don't listen to me, wait one day kena don't say I never warn you ah...

Overall I think the food at Fika is quite average. We spent a total of $70 +++ for 2 people. Seriously. If I brought my family along, it'll probably cost us $150? I'd rather go to some other restaurant with that kind of money. At least now we know how Fika is and I don't think I'll be going there again unless I want to burn a hole in my pocket. Or if you want to save money, just order iced water instead of sweet drinks like us. Then again, each cup of ice water you order is 50 FREAKING CENTS. Seriously?!

Haha I'll be blogging about my birthday dinner with my family very soon. We had dinner at an Indonesian restaurant. DAMN DELICIOUS. So.... Just wait for it okay? :)

Here are some of the photos we took using the instax mini camera! 

Some camwhoring shots I took that day. :)

2011 has been an awesome year! I can't wait to recap everything! Can't wait to get the clothes I ordered from my favourite plus size blogshop Qiqi Plus. It's preorder so if you can't wait, please don't buy. My bff helped to pay like half of it so I'm quite happy!!! Service is good, price wise okay lah. Not that cheap and not too expensive. Plus size clothes that are normally "cheap" are normally of shitty material. That is another rant for another blogpost. Thank you for reading this blog by this small fry blogger. 

DON'T FORGET TO "LIKE" ME ON FACEBOOK 

(eventhough you don't LIKE me in real life HAHAHAHA)!
