Stronger Than Before Launch || SupercrewKL x Elizabethtsm

There was a new line of clothing from SupercrewKL called Stronger Than Before which will be available to the public from the 4th of June. It was no surprise that I got invited to the launch since this line is a collaboration with the very popular Malaysian singer; Elizabeth Tan.

So on Saturday morning, I dragged my lazy self out of bed in the morning to get ready for the event.
Quick selfie while stuck in traffic.
Thank goodness for Uber (its super trustworthy, affordable and safe for a single lady) or else I'd never get to MidValley in time. Or at least with my sanity still well and truly in tact. I was expecting it to be super crowded since it was the weekend and also a school holiday so there would definitely be lots of people out. But the number of cars trying to get themselves into the parking area itself was enough to give me a headache - I wasn't even driving.

And the swarm of people inside the mall itself was batshit crazy. Every corner I turn was like an ambush of humans and worst, there seemed to be huge numbers of families with kids. Being alone in the crowd is enough to send me into an anxiety attack. I near died before even getting up to Fabspy's store, which was on the top floor but I just ran up there as fast as I could.

Literally.

And guess who I found waiting there. 
Imagine my relief to see a familiar face who was already waiting at the store. This is Aya and she is a pretty damn awesome manager from what I heard from the best friend. Honestly I think so too because she truly takes care of Liz and her friends too! I can attest to that. She's a strong one this one, you won't wanna mess with her. (;

By the way, the store was sectioned off to the public. Basically no one was allowed inside except for the few of us who were specially invited there by the superstar herself. *proud moment*

I was also given a t-shirt from the collection which I changed into. And it's so cool because there's not just the 'Stronger Than Before' tagline, but there's the best friend's name as well as her signature. This was just one of many and I can't be anymore proud to be wearing it throughout the day.

There's actually other designs in the line that are super nice. The jacket is the coolest because the sleeves are leather and the special logo on the front. Shop the rest of the collection here before they are completely sold out. (;

Stolen straight from my Snapchat. I mean, obviously.
You see this diva. She needed Aya, her manager, to help braid her hair before an interview. And she's probably gonna sit on me for posting this photo but... Yeap. Well hey, ook at me being all rebelious and bad-assed when in fact, I'm like a timid puppy.

The BFF and star of the day. :)
The crew!

This girl right here, Melissa, is my bae. 

While I'm a giant ball of negativity, she is the complete opposite of me and most of the time she brings the fun to a party. Also, spending an evening with her always leaves me with abs the following day considering how much she makes me laugh. 

Mad love you babe! 

Finally the launch started and while Elizabeth was giving a speech, the lot of us decided to take the opportunity to take pictures. An event such as this needs to be commemorated in pictures so when we all have grey hair and alzheimer's, we can say that we were awesome at one point of our lives. 

The best support team right here - and I was totally not complimenting myself. Just, you know, I mean everyone that made time to be there. All in matching coordination of black & white. Which, in my honest opinion, is the best colour combination there ever was.  

While the best friend continued working and spend some time with her fans, the rest of us went for lunch. I was starving at that point cause I hadn't eaten before that and I think the rest of them hadn't as well, so food it was. 

Specifically Olive Garden cause Italian and Charis said it was pretty good. Actually it was my first time there but the idea of free-flow soup/salad along with breadsticks sounds like a damn good idea. By the time we were done, I felt like a pregnant penguin. 

Squad goals.
Mel, Me, Charis & Olivia.
Why I so short ;-;
Can't be anymore proud of where you've gotten yourself, baby! You are definitely stronger than before - not that you weren't. You know I'll always have your back & will punch anyone for you even if they are about ten times my size. I don't care cause I'll stand on a ladder to yell at them. ;)

One more picture with the giant wall of the best friend for good measure. Who can say that their best friend has a giant super-cool photo of themselves on a wall in a very popular mall? Well I can and I am hella proud. 

I GOT THE COOLEST BFF A GIRL CAN EVER ASK FOR. 

"Be yourself!"
Ironically enough the one shot before this and one that looked exactly the same, Aya said 'act like sluts'. Somehow we all came up with this pose in unison because this is how we are ordinarily, completely unaffected by the fact that there was a million and one people walking around us. They were probably judging us at that time. Laugh die me.

Ending the post with a gratuitous photo of myself.
Everyone went their separate ways after that. I met up with other friends to have some dinner and then watched a movie. Me Before You. Cried my eyes out as expected because it's super sad even though quite choppy which bugged me a bit but at least the casting choices made.

No matter how I still prefer the book because there were a few scenes that were quite important to the story which did not make it into the movie. With good reasons but it would have explained the characters better in some way.

And now, on to other adventures for this introvert. I think.

I wonder what else about my very uninteresting life I can update about. Maybe about the watercolour workshop I attended the day after this launch? It was probably my third one and I still wanna join more. We'll see. Au revoir! :)
