Glory or gory?

2014- Year of Greater Glory? Such impactful words has been resurfacing lately, and I just felt like penning down my thoughts, before doing another entry about everything in 2014/2015. This year is passing way too fast than any other, it still feels like its the holidays before uni. Many tragedies had happened, missing planes, outbreaks, riots, etc.  There's so many things going on since the start, in and out of my life. I must admit I was looking forward to having God doing something in my life this year. It's human nature to expect right? Especially when it involves Him. So I just kept waiting and questioning when was it gonna be my turn.  'I felt the shaking, but where is the glory? Because Christ in you is the hope of glory.' Maybe securing a place in where I am now was something I never expect, that was one of the trials I was been put through. I knew that it was impossible for me to do it alone, it was solely not base on my own, never. I'll never forget how it

Life's better when you're smiling

Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired.  Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision.  Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy.  Trust, even when your heart begs you not to.  Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see.  Frolick, even when you are made fun of.  Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring.  Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more. And, always, remember, even when the memories pinch your heart.  Because the pain of all your experience is what makes you the person you are now. And without your experience---you are an empty page, a blank notebook, a missing lyric.  What makes you brave is your willingness to live through your terrible life and hold your head up high the next day.  So don't live life in fear.  Because you are stronger now, after all the crap has happened, than you ever were b

As much as Christmas wasn't like any other Christmas this year, since many were out of town, I managed to make a trip down a magical place with brightly intricate lightings along gardens by the bay. Brace yourself for the visuals ahead.  Jesus, We remember it's Your Birthday!

Growing Up

Image
A month ago, was when i turned a year older, and realising that Growing up just means 1. seeing beyond the illusions from the younger years 2. talk less, observe more 3. be independent 4. learning to appreciate alone time, enjoy your own company 5. trying out new things; experience things that you haven't  6. sleeping more, sleep in between classes, sleeping as early as 8pm 7. be kind, be sincere with every part of you 8. love yourself before you could start loving others wholeheartedly 9. don't ever compare yourself or anyone to any party, everyone has a different story 10.  forgive those who left you and those who let you leave 11. smile and laugh; they can't break you if they think you're already broken 12. whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stays. What goes, let it go. Let it be. Just a snippet of what to expect in the coming of end of year/ new year... post maybe (: On the other hand, thank you to the special fri

Closed book

Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young. But I don't think we make any fewer when we're grown up. - Jodi Picoult Always follow your heart. Your mind might know what's best, but your heart is never wrong. Second was second for a reason.  'This is the point where we realised that no matter what grandeur and good the future may have held for us, it could never take back the cowardice and apathy that I had seen before. You could forgive, but you can never forget, and in not being able to forget, you would always see a different person. Everyone messes up, we are taught to forgive, but you realised even if you had done so, you were indifferent. Sometimes letting go of someone means putting an end to a one-sided fight. And when you can recognise it as that, everything becomes easier. Letting go does't mean that all of the good goes away. I know you're not a bad person; in fact, I still think you're wonderful. This story has ended. There

Don't carry the stress

Sometimes I do get reminded of pursuing my dreams of being an air stewardess, but not everything is able to fit into my life's timeline for now, & the furthest I could ever go is to leave it be as a dream, while I donned on this (SQ-liked) Kaleido Dress. Likewise, probably having a much needed getaway ever since before JC started will also be left as a dream. People can be really selfish, but I'll still do so much for all these people till the end. It's not exactly finals finals that are tormenting, but it's the surroundings rather. Anywhere, everywhere, as long as your head be turning, there are bound to be humans studying. This stressful aura can really be quite detrimental. It makes studying even worst lol. How can people burn midnight oil and just continue function the next day without any sleep?:o I wish I could to.  But nah, my body clock is normal, too normal to be true. I sleep really early in comparison to my roomies and wake up very early too!

Good Riddance

Find something that anchors you. Something that keeps you looking forward. One more month and I'll be so done with the first semester whoops finally. HSS & Hall Welfare Pack are coming in, but this only means nothing but bringing us one step closer to doomsday. Can I say that the HSS Biz Mag really up there, they got hoyu/ hair dyes (for those really stressed up with white hair haha) sponsors & chewy junior for us?? Go get your HSS Welfare Pack tmr!! It's the last day(: Got mini panic attack right up in the morning today, realising there's so many things to study for till I don't wanna study anymore ): I don't even know where to start. This stress level is slowly taking it's peak overtime. Emotional stress/ tiredness & piles of lost work with no idea where to start from, really adds on to the stress from this competitive aura. I THINK I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR SCHOOL. hahah. Time's really passing way too fast as we grow older each day. FINALS

Be True, Be Transparent

I promised once I got my hands on my new macbook, I would try my best to write consistently. Writing; that's the only platform where I can truly express what I really feel. There are people who have asked and wondered. It has been an issue that have been bugging me at times. I usually just give a passing remark, but maybe it's time to state it down.  Being partly in this field of modelling and pageants (HSS, MSBP, MAPW) , isn't all about glamour and fancy stuff.  No, it isn't as easy and fun as what it looks like. People don't understand. I wish they could put themselves in these shoes. It has its pains and sacrifices that I've got to bear, every industry has. They don't see the things we go through behind the scenes. It's not about fun ALL THE TIME, I'm put in fixes too, but it's about doing your job. It's not easy, there's hard work. When you gain some, you lose some. Yes, I've gained enriching journeys, but I've lost q

Risk

After a bad week at school, which I ended up attending only 1hour tutorial out of my entire week's tutorials and lectures.... it's time for some update after spending much of the time not attending today's tutorial on.. (here goes) You can't go anywhere without risk. Everyday's a risk anyway. Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up People are so full of negative self-talk, they never know how to take it in the positive spin. It's not gonna be easy trying to convince oneself from the positive spin, but it's at least that's less detrimental for the soul (I hope). Probably like all other humans, it's time to learn to take everything in the positive spin, & perhaps life would be so much better. I've never done it before- It's an opportunity to learn something It's too complicated- I'll take it up form another perspective There's no way this will work- I will learn to make it work It's too radical to chan

If you're my friend, you'd have known that I've changed my hair colour for the umpteen time. This time round I had it done at Jeric Salon @Ion Orchard! I was excited at how the outcome would be yet worried if the colour goes wrong. I gave the hairstylist a rough idea that I was going for a darker shade, and decided to leave the rest in their hands!(i'm sorry i don't have pics at the salon, cause their service was very much relaxing) And so, after 3+hours spent at the salon...I walked out in love with my new hair colour! Finally a change from my previous blonish-brown hair colour a month+ ago. (This is how flattering my hair looks even days after the colour had settled)  It's really important that we picked the right hair colour base on our skin tone and the texture of our hair. My previous blonish-brown made my hair looked even more dry than what it already was. Do head down to Jeric Salon to check out their different services avai

Slowly but surely things are starting to settle down and fall into place hopefully. You'll always be running laps in my head. Never understood how it feels like to miss out an important date subconsciously. But I finally understood how it feels like. Yeap so being a very much great daughter, who's been so caught up with school and everything else, wishing my mom HB slipped my mind. As much as we already did have a mini celebration a day bfr the actual one, missing out on the well-wishes on the actual day, honestly makes me feel terrible. But hb to the most sacrificial mom, and I'll always love you till the end of time. Thank you for everything thus far, from pampering me lately with endless new clothes, whipping up my favourite dishes each time I could get back home for meals just because you hardly see me, (even offering to bring home cooked food to me when I'm so far away from home) to your naggings. I don't think you'll ever get to see this, either am I  real

hopeless but hoping

Wake me up when September ends How do you run away from the things that are in your head? Everybody's just walking along cropped up with his own problems, his own life, his own worries. Expecting people to tune into our our agenda. " Look at my worry, step into my life, care about my problems, care about me." But darling, truth is, no one has got time for you. The longer he looks into your eyes, the more he's interested in you. If he can't look into your eyes long enough, there is a great chance that he wants to conquer you. After that, he'll leave you. It's ok you feel as though you've lost yourself, everybody does from time to time. It's ok you're still searching for that missing part of you, we all are. It's ok to feel alone, but you must often remind yourself that you're not. You must remind yourself that you're beautiful individual. I am no good for you, but you're you and that's good enough for me. Thing

<Happy belated day post Dawn!💕> Made my virgin trip down to Dempsey to celebrate this gorgeous lady's bday. As much as we wanted to surprise her, YH gave it away. But I'm still glad we managed to make her all smiley that day. The mozzie bites and sweat under the blazing sun was definitely all worth it to see the bday girl happy 😊  (Ft. The new top I wore for the first time that day heheh)

<warning: influx of throwbacks, locking in story of my life so at least I know what I've been doing w my life when I look back hehe before busier life gets ahead of me> In love with this new top, the first piece of off-shoulder I've own. So am I, with the new pair of flip flops which has become my fav footwear recently that I've been wearing it everyday even to town, that's how comfy it is and convenient! sudden influx of various new footwear after my previous batch of shoes decide to fail on me all at the same period 😛 This is practically my meal everyday for weeks..... - fast food everyday for at least one meal. It's quite bad but it's also the most convenient way of getting a proper on-the-go lunch/ dinner. (Had a double down today, meat lovers shld grab it!) <so much glorious light in one picture💕> So we made a trip down to Trick Eye Museum but to only leave feeling cheated and disappointed after being greeted with the 3h waiting time before we

Throwback to late last month at vin's birthday party! Anyw the main highlight of the event was actually chancing upon a life-sized doll whose eyes were already drawn with eye liner. Now, we all know where all the beauty knowledge and the craving to look good come from- our mamas~ but her eyes are soooo soooo large :0 

Nen's bday

<Belated post> Happy birthday to 👳 who pass out even before I reached to wish him in person even tho I cabbed down to CQ after an event~ That explains why the above is the only pic of us that day! But it was all cool, cause that's a first seeing him lying in his probably his own puke or puddle of unknown liquid, being all drunk, being a figure for people to take pics w, etc. It was an interesting night. But then again, when are nights spent with you guys not 'interesting'?:-) (Eve looks quite cute but she's taken alr😛)

It was really an honour to be part of this production cast, where I got to meet so many cast such as Mario Maurer, YaHui, Mark Lee and all vthe other talented and experienced cast. Of course, most of all the bunch of similiar cast who we got to spent time together talking nonsense (that day, this day, today, all of your humour, thank you guys), eating, and even lazing around. Waiting around on set would have been so bored if not for you guys.  (Make-up artist arlene- If you need any make-up artist/ hairdresser for events or anything function, feel free to hit her up! Her working attitude and final product is good!!) (Yahui & Mario, so sad that the cast were not allowed to take any pictures with them) (OFF SET!!!!) It was indeed my pleasure working with y'all ,thank you for this opportunity!
