Remember the previous post when I mentioned that I bought 2 new kicks, one of them being the Nike Roshe and I didn't say what the other one was? Well, the other pair of kicks that I bought is as seen from this post's title. Superga.
A few weeks back, I bought this pair of Superga Flatforms which I adore initially. But not after I've worn it for like a few hours cuz it hurts so much like you're having constipation X 100000 times. Because I wear US 9 - 9.5 and the flatforms that I bought was US 8 because that was their biggest size. Assuming that flatforms are only meant for girls, I manage to squeeze my big feet into it when I was trying it. But nevertheless, I really love it, just that because of the pain, I'm wearing it lesser and lesser.
So here's the outfit that I matched with my pair of Superga flatforms. Due to the unpredictable weather these days, I paired it with something simple, a plain white t-shirt and denim shorts and a long sleeve shirt to tie over my waist just to add a extra "something" to the outfit.
Another thing about this flatforms is that its so versatile, like I can match it with almost anything because its white in color. I can't wait to pair it with my other outfits. ^.^y
Today I've decided to update this space because I wanna let you guys know what I'm currently doing with my life. Haha!
Some of my friends might already know, I'm currently serving my national service, which explain why I'm not on my social media platforms as frequent anymore. Till date, I kinda enjoy my time on the other sunny island. Everybody is so fun and encouraging that motivates me to work even harder in order to shed those damn fats. Hahaha!
So anyways, recently I bought a new kicks. Actually, I bought 2 on different days but I decided to blog about this one. It is the RED NIKE ROSHE!!! I'm so in love with it even though I only wore it once. Hahaha!
Now after being in Tekong for 2 weeks, I'm starting to turn 3 shades darker than what you see on the pictures above. *Le Sighs*!!! :(
So yeap, that's for now, if you'd like you can follow me on my Snapchat & Instagram @donxkoh, my Twitter @donnlicious
Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation is back in its 3rd edition in search for the next social media savvy youth, who is able to represent and promote the different food, fashion, and leisure facets of Cathay Cineleisure Orchard. So whether you're the popular kid on the blog or the next big thing, this is your big break!!!
THIS YEAR WILL BE A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST 2 SEASONS!
Participants will put their skills to the test in challenges from the various categories:
Food & Beverage Presentation
Fashion & Entrepreneurship
Lifestyle & Virality
Live Event Coverage
Participants will be scored and judged by resident judge and celebrity blogger Bong Qiu Qiu, Maureen Ow also known as MissTamChiak and Blogger Entrepreneur Sheila Tham!
The Winner will be awarded with $1,000 cash, an OLYMPUS PEN Camera, a larger-than-life-size poster advertisement and a year-long supply of Cathay Cineplexes movie vouchers!
There are also 3 other titles to grab, including the Overnight Sensation, 1st Runner-Up, and 2nd Runner-Up all with awesome prizes to bag as well!
Now let me share a bit about my past experience as a CNOS participant.
CHALLENGE 1 (NomNom Challenge)
So from the title, you already know it's a food challenge, and we have 2 requirements for this, to recommend F&B outlets "When You're Going Out On A Date" AND "When You're Rushing For A Movie"
The participants had a hard time cracking their brains for this. Me too! But thank god I have my friends that helped me out for this challenge! Friends are really important!!!
CHALLENGE 2 (Entertainment @E2Max)
For this challenge, we had to recommend what are the things we could do at E2Max, and also a milestone video that we can do at E2Max. Sounds difficult aye?!!!
When this challenge was announced, this was when most of the CNOS 2 participants bonded and became friends, because we thought of coming out with something big, like maybe we could do a video together and really create a milestone as CNOS 2 participants together.
This is what we came up with, and we managed to impress QiuQiu with our Harlem Shake video. Hahah! #AchievementUnlocked #CNOS2Milestone
AHAHHAHAHA. WTF I LAUGHED DAMN BAD AT THE COW COSTUME ONE after the music change!!! Lololol. Don you're good http://t.co/Ctm6nDlsTl!

CHALLENGE 3 (#OOTD @Cineleisure)
For challenge 3, we had to create an Outfit Of The Day for both Male and Female from the list of selected stores at Cathay Cineleisure Orchard.
Some of us had a hard time finding the other gender to help them, well for me, luckily I have Angie!!! YAY!
For fashion challenge, you really have to go all out and be thick skinned, don't care about how you look. Just be confident and show your personality. With confidence you're already halfway through the battle!
CHALLENGE 4 (Cathay Decoded Race)
This is probably the most tedious challenge out of all the challenges. We're required to form a team of 3, race and do a live event coverage. Instagramming and Geo-tagging it. Since we're already in a big group, forming into teams isn't much of a problem.
During the process of the race, we're required to do a crossword puzzle, run around Dhoby Ghaut to Cathay Cineleisure Orchard finding QR Codes and Clues. and also vlog at the same time. DEFINITELY ONE OF A KIND EXPERIENCE! ♥
CHALLENGE 5 (Strike A Pose @Cineleisure)
The grand finale, we were given $10 beadstreet voucher and we need to find accessories to accessorize ourselves. Then, we need to strut down the red carpet, pose and do a runway walk. This is probably my favourite challenge because.......
Little things that made me happy.
Not forgetting my friends & *COUSINS* that specially made their way there to support me! ♥
If you've always wanted to showcase your blog, or just looking for an experience, or to widen your network, register your blog now at http://cineleisure.com.sg/cnos/ !!! Registration closes on 7th March 2014!!! Deadline extended till 14th March 2014!!!
HURRY!!! Here are some other benefits you'll get for joining CNOS!!!
Joining CNOS has definitely given me many more opportunities and exposures in the blogosphere. PR companies and sponsors have also started noticing my blog's existence and contacted me for their media events.
Now before I end my post, let me give you guys a tip. Remember to show your personality in your blogpost and videos. Capture the attention of the judges and I'm sure with that you're already on your way to the top!
Now here's an example of a video that I did for #CNOS2. But I'm sure you guys can do it better than me one la.
Don't worry about the vlogging part of this contest, I'm sure if I can do it, you guys can too! Just go for it and have fun, don't stress yourself.
P/S: I was hoping that this year, a male winner will be crown Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation. Hahah!
All the best and good luck! ^.^y
#ITSGONNAGETSENSATIONAL!!!
YES! This post is gonna be about the Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation version 2.0.
It's like, finally its over!!! All the sleepless nights we have chiong-ed! All the panicking and stuff...
On the day itself 30th March 2013
Woke up feeling super excited as its the finals for CNOS2! Having mixed feelings as well, cuz throughout this whole month, I've made many new friends and also, gradually became closer to all of them. Come to think of it, I wished this competition will still continue for another month!
HAHAHAAHAH! *kiddinggg*
Getting ready to head out!!! Here's a selca! :D
So for the last and final challenge, we were given $10 voucher each and 4hours get accessories from Beadstreet to accessorize ourselves. After that,we are required to *STRUT OUR STUFF at the red carpet and do a runway walk!
On my mind I was like going; "YES! RUNWAY WALK!!!", if you guys haven't know me yet, I'm a HUGE fan of America's Next Top Model and Miss Tyra Banks! Sooo yea!
SO FOR MY FINAL LOOK! VOILA!
The accessories that I got from Beadstreet are:
- Chain Neckless: $2.90 each, I bought 2 and did layering, Kudos to Amanda (MsPetiteLoft) for helping me with the layering and accessorizing.
- Bracelets: $1.90 each, but they're selling it 3 for $4.90!
- Shades: $5.00
OHYAH!
and I overspent by $2.90! The total costs for my accessories is $12.90! xppp!
My look is super Willabelle Ong inspired! LOVE HER TO DEATH!!!! She is my current fashion inspiration!!! ♥♥♥
And so the competition goes on, and all the contestants did their runway walk! I was just having my own time and having fun at the runway walk! It's like, how many times can I get to strut my stuff at a red carpet event??!!!
Was super happy that Cineleisure and Nuffnang had given me this chance! Thank you so much!! :D
So sorry if the photo and quality is super shitty, I was wearing shades and couldn't really see, so yea, my apologies...
- With Vivian & Clinton (I prefer calling him "Clinty" though, idk why?!) haha! xp
