contribution is everything

I realised that friends aren't really friends only when you have something to contribute...

same as it goes for the other party that you are looking for.

You have to contribute to something, be it looks, love, ideas, brain...


Thats a fact of life.

I think that God has given me a good foundation. thats because we all got to help ourselves and crack our brains for the fear of god.

Growing strong but later falling and then rising again...


Good luck to me in friends, love and life...

I don't like it when fashion becomes too ugly..Most of the haute couture looks really ugly to me. It kinda makes humans look like creatures instead of beauty objects and that I don't like

only Chanel's haute couture looks wearable to me.

wake yourself up

I realised I now understand why people are always so discontented.

That is because society makes people think a certain way and if you don't, people think you are childish or you are not normal.

but I think that if you are really yourself, you then grow and will cherish every moment in your life. Than you won't regret that you didn't enjoy your youth or if you are a matured 50 yr old guy, you wouldn't want to go for a young girl just to fulfil what you didn't fulfil due to society needs.

I try not to follow what I'm suppose to behave too and just act as what I feel like acting.

genius Chanel

I think Karl Lagerfeld made the rich accessible ...

Look at the recent collections...
The tweed jacket has been made popular by Chanel and now even Zara is carrying the tweed look.

Look at the recent cruise collection. He made them wear platform Sneakers looking shoes. It shows that being rich isn't just about that particular community.

I guess that is why his designs are classic and people rely on his inspirations to make money.

Modernity shouldn't be mixed up with status.

pixeted us

Prada''s fall collection reminds me of the digital world and kind of also reflects what we are experiencing now since its the computerised world in this generation of ours. 

It could be seen in the clothing through the pixeted  look of the bags, coats and etc...

The dna of the clothing has suddenly turned into pixels, like a picture from a computer or things that we generally don't see in our naked eye unless only through the eyes of the digital world. 

It amazes me that the idea of pixels can even be brought into the real world. Thanks to fashion and computer games. 

I also feel that the mix of old auntie and young has been mixed, so much so that we can't tell the difference between what is old fashon and what is trendy anymore. This also helps to not distinguish the age gap of a young lady and an older mature lady so much in terms of fashion. I think it is only beneficial to us ladies all. that style cannot be just measured by age. 

:)

love it throw hate it

I think that for 2013, its going to be an interesting year coming from the cruise collection. 

It amazes me at how the whole setting was located, the models looking like goddess or mermaid creatures. It really dwell upon me that fashion is coming alive again. 

Whats cool is putting history aside and making things new again using what we know of. 

Fashion to me is about being present at the moment and enjoying what life has to give. I think the virtual world such as OZ world, the sims does give us a rough idea of what the future should be like.

Its about being who we are and being a character that we really want to aspire. Its about being in charge of knowing what is around us and taking note how we feel. 

Liliana Mathaeus

no we are not dead.

Anger is the worst drug of human kind...

its the fires of hell

I will slowly manoeuvre my way out of this and go to shallower waters of heaven...

temptations - I shan't fall into it but give them a taste of what life really is...

someone was saying...why your generation so ** up one....no war no poverty...still get into depression, drugs and all that shit...


That is because the world isn't a sanctuary...Its a test for everyone..

And that test is to see if we deserve God's vision...

time is ticking with emptiness

Sometimes I feel that time is passing but we aren't doing enough to make real change in this world

perhaps there can't be much change as only the one can make a difference...its funny how only the one has the wisdom...

Even money doesn't generate movement...It only generate wants in life

There are so many of us human beings that time suddenly becomes cheap...things can be done easily due to the number of people we have in this world.

Yet, time should or should not be valued..i don't know how to answer that question...

Sometimes life can be quite empty..because we are generally empty people...

Its really quite sad...

I think the only thing that makes god happy is creation..there is nothing more to this universe that we are in...except for us that really matters


so much so that I don't crave for fame, or anything more at this point of my life but just to be able to earn a living...

how what and where

In school, its all about being the best in something.
When one is out of school, everything changes...

Most people are still caught up with being the best, being popular, being loved...

I suddenly find little purpose in the wants of people...I think we need to create a new medium , a new form of creativity to bind people together as we are all scattered in this world.

I don't know how..but i guess its through culture, music, art ...not just academics.

I should start building a culture ...

I don't know how but we'll see...

first time singing on ustream...don't laugh okie!! :)

songs played by me.. :x

It was all badly done as I was just trying to test out my ustream...the sound quality is quite good eh! :)

uneducated beauty

Its funny how when you accentuate the strangeness of a person,  it creates beauty.

Everyone has got their beauty. Its up to them to find the art of making themselves stand out...

I don't think there needs to be lots of pretty ladies, but more of unique ladies so that men will be able to appreciate a vast range of beauty and not just a long hair girl with a slim figure, wearing a tight fitting dress...

I think that we girls need to do our part to not follow the crowd...and just be ourselves...I guess we have spoiled guys on what beauty should be..all about the figure, boobs and so forth...

my desired collection

Nina Ricci Fall.Winter collection 2012

I love this collection.

living in a fire of hell may be what life really is

Its funny how suddenly I get reminded that the world is a dark and lonely place..

People who have a dark perspective of life are just being realistic ...

Its like making your way through the fire...in a forest...

People generally are the obstacles in life...Some may harm you...some may not..

The way to do it is to meet the right people in life...

Its a little bit like bingo...In order to reach your targeted destination, you have to meet so and so...

I find myself still trapped in this maze and what I call life...

Young doesn't mean good sometimes..people who are old already been through that maze...Never envy anyone...as they need to all go through that maze no matter what..

Even if you are rich, you may be trapped in this maze...People who get to travel meaning stay in another country are just a little bit luckier as they are able to get out of that trap and fulfill their so called targeted dream...

And I don't think we should be too happy about the present too...if we were, we will all die...things have to always be moving or else, the world will come to an end I think...

Its like staying in a house of fire...no human will not struggle in that...therefore tries to help her or himself out of that fire...

money and style

To be unique, you really need money in your pocket.

Nowadays, fashion has become more accessible to people but the one thing that people won't attain is style for the money that they are buying....you have to piece it up yourself and that usually requires a luxury item to pull the whole thing off..

I think in order to achieve real style, you need to have loads of cash....Also, where you are living also plays a part.

I don't think I will ever attain style unless One day I become a famous somebody and will be able to afford stylish things..

You may say that its the posture of the person as well as the confidence that produces good style..
But I don't think that That is the case. It just gives you a model look..

To attain real style requires attitude, money especially and an eye for things...I guess that's the reason why there are so many blogshops that have not been successful yet.

You can't copy quality. you can copy magazines and the look of it. Most people only go for the look but forget about the attitude...the affordable clothes doesn't really give you the attitude of wearing it.

Online is the way to go

I think the hype of me spending on clothes will die down this few months....
I really need to save money!!! ahh.....

Sometimes I think knowledge makes people spend more. Because eventually economy is run by people buying things and having the liking for something.

I love that people are constantly trying to find out what's going on with the world in terms of technology and fashion...For me I'm not interested in world news but only things that are fun to know....I know I will lose out when it comes to political talks...

I think the future world will not be so much of owning a shop and selling clothes...Its going to be an online world. Only the rich and famous will be in high end shops and be able to afford the shopping experience. The rest will just go On line and hide their beings haha...

I would love to own an on line something one day.. of course the dream would be an online fashion shop but provided I have a whole lot of staff working and dealing with all the delivery and stuff...  All I need to do is carry an ipad around and go to cafes like Starbucks to do my work. That's what I call lifestyle..

Wouldn't that be great?

why is her life in snaps turning into her life in words

What I like to call this stage of my life would be writers block....

I don't like it when people think that after uni, it goes straight to earning big money

That doesn't happen at all unless you are the Kardashians or something, coming from a rich background...

Time really doesn't equates to money when one is just starting out...

Karl Lagerfeld only became famous when he is in his later years like 70s? 

I don't think I would ever be like him..I don't even know if I would be alive then..haha..70s being famous would be too late for me I think...

We need a revolution to happen..Fashion is creating that platform but we ourselves need to change in order for more richness to come...

Now that I ever experienced a community, I don't think that's the way to go when it comes to finding a way in life...I think  that we need to put ourselves out of the community to really get a feel of what reality is...

dreams...Its good to dream..I think dreams are more powerful than knowledge...because dreams create a desire for wanting to live whereas knowledge is stagnant. 

life house

Looking at my previous posts, I wonder where I get the inspiration to write...Its not as if I"m writing damn chim english or things that should be shown off too...but still...

I find that now I don't even have the inspiration ..haha..maybe its because its my holidays now.

My mind needs a place to rest...

I love this break that I"m currently enjoying...

I love the fact that I can listen to the music that I once listened to...and looking back at the crushes I used to have....and the memories.be it good or bad...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4jPbwuMKoY

One band that I forever love listening to is Lifehouse..I think it kinda represents my life....

Everything- this represents the time I realised how much a person can really love another person..

Blind- Family issues

Only one- Myself...

Why do I think its about myself...
Thats because I'm still the person I was centuries ago....back in the time when I was in the hands of god...


Just that the mistakes in life has polished me....

Its interesting...I'm still the only one left surviving in this sinful world that we live in.... The rest has fallen...

surroundings

At this stage of my life when I'm still building myself, 

I find that there aren't many things in life that are not in our touch. 

Perhaps it is is better to sometimes just look at the exterior of art rather than interpreting painting. 

I think I need to be more inspired by my surroundings and not look at escapism. Afterall, we are living in a rounded world and bounded by land and sea and not space. 

NEW sport shoes? haha

I bought this new pair of high ankle sporty shoes from this fashion store in Far East Plaza. Its funny how this shoe actually does portray who I used to be. But the funny thing is that its a sporty shoe in a fashion store which describes me....I just like the look of it but it doesn't necessarily describe me exercising with it.


The fact that its black and white also is a plus point..Its like Chanel.. :)

The funny thing about my life is that doesn't mean I'm into something means that I'm in love with something...


And humans sometimes tend to be like commodities.. we grouped ourselves into categories which narrows our mind.

One thing about relationships that I don't like is that we tend to magnify ourselves too much...Instead of seeing the person for who they are, we put the family into the picture as well as the house, the friends...

All the things that are not as important...Most importantly I feel would be the taste of that person as well as the selection that person makes-decisions in life.


If the decisions doesn't match the other party's decision, this spells trouble...

dreams

I think that most people are caught up with the shit that they are in..

People who portray a too good a picture are just bluffing themselves...

My dreams are soo big that no one can handle except for the prince of Europe or someone that has conquered the world.. haha..

I'm going to change myself till one day I could be as confident as those models walking in the runway. 

Randoms

I'm trying to learn from fashion..but sometimes I wonder if trying too hard is a turn off...

I think if I would ever get bored of fashion, that would be the day that I'm in depression.. :x

what describes my style now...

Hm...I think it would be a leggings and jacket girl with loads of accessories...I like the idea of being as comfortable as wearing pyjamas...

HAPPY Valentines day!

Love the nostalgia of primary school...

Sitting by the side of the bus window, looking outside at the moving images of houses..seeing how the sky turns from dark to light...listening to Chinese songs in the wee hours of the morning...

I think I have a love for life more than a human...

Therefore, Valentines day, tuning to power 98 and listening to the oldies that they are dedicating to love ones...That to me is more fulfilling...

I think Valentines day has became so overrated...in terms of expecting each other to give each other a damn big gift or whatsoever...In fact, the love should be so great that a gift isn't enough...

Valentines day should not be about flowers..but about letting each other be who they are I think...
haha

my own valentine's day gift

I usually don't dare to get high end products..In fact, this is my very  first high end product that I purchased..

Why the sudden urge to get?

I appreciate what this brand has created...the whole extension of the brand through their clothes and accessories...

It fascinates me....I won't be buying a high end product for a long time to go...

A Thought in my head

I was watching a fashion show online and suddenly, I had this thought in my mind.

Fashion is decorating yourself in how you want a still life to be. For example, if you are a tree, you would want apples as a decorative. 

I realised that good clothes doesn't necessarily represent a good life. Because you can try to buy nice clothes to decorate what your want in life but the clothes doesn't necessarily breathe in you.

Its like how I wear 3/4 leggings and a simple tee to sleep and my bed is is nothing like velvet or linen..But when I go out, wearing velvet , and cushioned jacket just doesn't reflect the real me...

Its funny...what you wear to sleep does quite define the person you really are...

But what I like about being able to wear other materials...is that it gives me a chance to live like a different person..and That could be quite interesting....

Its like putting on a different skin...and seeing how people react..and than learning from the trials of life through that character...

In some sort of way, it protects your real character...which could be a precious gem that only a few can see through the exterior...

A mini book

Its quite ironic that fashion is not about attracting  men...
I think fashion is not just about making oneself look good,

Its about being a character, being a desired something.

When one is desired, the rest just falls into place...

The great thing about the modern day is that everybody is beginning to look like everybody, giving everyone an equal chance to look good.

In some ways, humans are becoming more commercialised.

I think the trap is when people judge people based on their outward sort of taste or whatever you see. They love the character that the person is portraying, more than the inner character of that person.

I think body language is so important..that words are cheap...Is that the reason why relationships sometimes don't work as you tend to talk to that person more than you convey in your body language...

I seriously question.....

Okay I'm talking a seriously whole load of stuff that can be written into a book ...

Luxury

We are working to constantly improve our way of life...

I think I have to realise this so that I stop buying so many clothes and invest on certain pieces that are classic and last a long time.

I know that I would never live like people who live in luxury- people who own private jets and have big mansions etc...

But one thing that I know for sure is that I would be able to afford clothes. I'm not thinking of wanting to show off to the world that I own in future a terrace house or a bungalow. 

Its not so much of the house but the standard of living that I'm working for. That would mean doing what I really want to do in life. 

As of now, I'm happy working in a house-like place called Horsecity, teaching cute students. 

I want to be innovative in whatever I'm doing. That's a key. Karl Lagerfeld said that we shouldn't be like vintage and must always be interested in what's happening now.

 I know I would never live in a world of luxury but I could learn how good fabrics and workmanship works to live in a life I call luxury.

TOPSHOP UNIQUE

Am loving this dress from Topshop unique

I love the idea the unattractiveness of like a school pinafore transformed into an attractive dress.

ADAM 2012 Spring

Another collection that I dearly love is this collection. I love what the brand means...

The effortless look yet still stylish. 

The idea of clothes that doesn't define labels and the simplicity of clothes showing that the person dictates the clothes and not the other way round. 

Simplicity

I'm sometimes amazed at how models look so good just wearing a plain tee and a khaki pants. I guess it could be the bow on her hair that makes her look complete.

This hair cuff really looks so modern and makes a pony tail looks so chic.

not myself doesn't mean theres no potential to be a better me

You seldom see A Singaporean dressing like what you see above. But I think that one day we might just be catching up. 

I think being a Singaporean girl, what I do not like about it is that the environment created since young is all about exams and test papers, so much so that we aren't passionate about our surroundings, about the things we do. 

What I really call being myself is when I'm able to appreciate my being to the fullest by connecting with my surroundings as well as with the clothes I wear, the things I touch.

I think that it is a collective approach to make this happen. It takes everyone to be part of it in order for everyone to benefit, or else it will just be a selfish act and a showing off attempt. 

dreams and money

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZaLpZue7us&ob=av2e

I think this song is sexy....

Gives me another perspective of life...

Generally, I do have a weird thinking about stars, like actors and actresses in Hollywood. I have this thinking that the real world is Asia and Hollywood is like a surreal world, a world that is not real. Poverty is where reality really is.

Sometimes I think the definition of work is creating a dream come true for people. For example if I'm a teacher, I'm teaching someone else to create their own dream on their own and to think on their own two feet.

Therefore, the idea of money might not be wrong. In fact, it creates opportunities for more humans to experience a dream.

Things that you see in the magazines, television...Isn't it like a dream come true, when you are able to create movement, movable art through our own being. Its pretty amazing I feel.

Therefore when one feels mundane about life, think about the impact you are doing to other humans...You might just be  like a star on TV, a movable inspiration to the rest of the world without yourself knowing.

:)

No. 21 pre fall 2012

The lace dress, the last picture kinda remind of a Chinese new year dress with a European twist. Instead of Chiong Sam, its a white and black laced dress. Its so much nicer when there is a modernity in clothing. 

Ah...... and the green dress, the puffy flair of the dress really makes it look much more girly and like a green rose petal (I don't think theres such colour for roses) , blooming in the wind. 

leather/metal

There's something about leather and metal that brings the whole outfit to a new level. Metal cap toe heels  and leather leggings are some elements that adds a quality feel to the look.

I recently bought a quilt looking hoodie jacket from Topshop. It also has corduroy patches at the elbow.  That is my favourite item for the year I think. It straight away adds a character to any plain clothing you are wearing...my quilt jacket as seen below! :)

contentment

contentment...

Its so hard to be that 

Sometimes I think I expect too much from life. 

But,I think that I should be coming out with more ideas, more creativity...

Creativity is so important in our lives...people are the source of creativity and perhaps thats what makes humans so interesting..

What if one day humans stop having that creativity in them...That would make people unttractive generally.

I think attractiveness comes with a bit of looks as well as the ability to be creative.

I need a pill of creativity right now in my life...  

Ah...I'm growing up :)

Talking about guys wont' get you far...
Therefore, I will try to talk more about life, fashion rather than petty talks

I used to love gossiping about people, pitying myself..all the negative things you could probably imagine...

It was really not a very healthy mind that I had.

Most people think i would use the word, "and than one day I realised"

but No, that did not happen to me....Time just passed and I began to realise how silly I was to belittle myself, how I deliberately made myself look tiny just to make someone else feel big.

I was being the girl I thought I should be... and it did not work to my advantage at all. I did not care what others were like and was selfless to an extent that it hurts me.

It than grew upon me that everyone has to be selfish to some extent. To have a certain criteria or a certain want.

Realising that The value of me  was something that I appreciate from my previous relationship. Despite how any party was being portrayed, So what...

Its just another learning lesson or learning curve... Life shouldn't be taken too seriously... so serious that it lacked the quality of expression, becoming more like a wanted reaction than a real reaction of life.

Modern Flowers

Flowers have always been a girl's thing, for centuries. 


In blumarine's collection, we see lots of flower accessories.  I think flowers will never go out of trend. 


What  Antonio Berardi said, clothes should be something that you feel you can't wear but have a chance to wear. Its like a privilege to wear something so beautiful. 

Sonia Rykiel

Sonia Rykiel, the brand symbolises a stylish French woman. That is what I love to depict, or rather idealise. haha

They are elegant and that the same time, stylish and young.

I especially love the accessories used in Sonia Rykiel's collection, such as the metal clip used in the 2012 spring/summer collection as seen above.

 I love the idea of simplicity in clothing with a wonderland twist in style. The reason is that I live in a world that is idealised. Sometimes too idealised that I fail to see that there are flaws in things. Everything that comes my way, I accept it without knowing the other side of the world.

hangout with Emilie's first post

I think looks can be deceiving...

Just because someone has a decent face, a decent body, doesn't mean that he or she is always right. about things..

There are lots of big sharks that wants to hurt you just to make you stronger. 

I learnt that from young and thus, was sensitive to this issue. 

And a note to guys, doesn't mean some girl has a pretty face, a hot body means that she is a good catch...

There are lots of people out there that makes the world a more beautiful places externally but if you look deeper, you won't be able to have it. 

This is the root problem to people cheating.People always think the grass is greener on the other side. It could be true but it could also mislead you to thinking that what you don't have is the trophy. 

Character to me is not just about being gentlemanly. I think character is someone who experienced life and understands that life is about opportunities and not boundaries. 

Outrageously Chic

preppy love.

Oversized clothing is what I'm into now, the preppy look.

Those were the days when preppy was in style with the rich and famous. Golf green long sleeve, collar tee and pants were some examples of fashion for guys
Ironically, I'm inspired with guys fashion more than girls now.

Collar with the sweater type of look, knitted cotton off white jacket etc..are some of the looks that I love...more of a little girl look rather than a pretty woman look.

nothing about fashion in this post

Last time, I thought that my life would be very exciting at 23. 

The truth is that being 23 isn't as exciting at all. In fact, I think it is a phase of life whereby people haven't found themselves. Why should I let other people's identity crisis affect my phase of life. 

What is exciting to me.....I think life would be more exciting when there are more drive in things. 

I find myself dreaming about the ideal fashion store, the ideal fashionable people to hang out with...And its not happening though I'm already 23. 

It always seems like when you have been there or done a certain thing, the right people have not done it. Therefore, it still feels empty when you have achieved something.  

Rose in ice

Bought this baby pink rose ring from ACCESSORIZE. 

Also got this new pair of spectacles. It has a dark brown woody look to it though it is made of plastic.
