Life ain't easy, you got to be strong.

Was listening to "Common Ground " by Kodaline while writing this post, the song of the lyrics reminded me of the conversation I had with S last week. S had been a great and supportive friend to me and I always looked up to her. Mainly because she is a wise old soul and for that she gives great advise. I haven't met S  for quite sometime so we did a little bit of catching up that night, and that was the day I felt so lost after a meeting. But my clouded mind cleared up after having some heart-to-heart talk that night. In case you're wondering, it's my life after graduation that is bothering me, in short - my future. What am I going to do after I graduate? What kind of job should I find? and the list of questions goes on.... ... Let me say this again, I may seem to be nonchalant to some people but having mentioned it in previous posts, I really AM panicking. But I guess the biggest barrier for me is  atelophobia-  the fear of not being good enough. That is

Under pressure, precious things can break.

This post was drafted way before valentine's day but it didn't get posted cos it got stuck in my draft box.  Anyway, this make-up look was inspired by the sweet valentine's day.  For this look, I used pink as the base colour, blended a taupe shade at my outer corner of my eye to tone down the sweetness and to give my eyes more depth. To make my eyes sparkle, I lightly dusted shimmer powder all over my lids. To complete my eye make-up, I used a plum colour eyeliner instead of the usual brown to add a fun element to the look.  These are my essentials to complete this look:  For Eyes:  1. Urban Decay Naked Palette 2: Tease (Contouring outer-corner of eyes)  2. Urban Decay Glinda Palette: Magic (Base Color) & Tornado (Lining of waterline)  3. Urban Decay Primer Potion  4. Sasa Shimmery Powder  5. Etude House Tear Eyeliner  For Face:  1. Chanel Le Blanc Fluid Foundation in 20 Beige  2. Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder in 20 Clair 3

Happy Valentine's Day.  Even though I have no sweetheart to spend my valentine's day with, I still make an effort to dress up. Who knows? I might just meet my valentine. Haha. So what if you're single? You can still dress up and have fun~  Wearing this pair of tights again after 3 years. I wasn't intending to wear the tights with this dress but because the length of it was far from appropriate after alterations, I had no choice but to wear a the tights underneath. But I liked how it turned out to be. It looks formal and a little bit more polished.  This pair of heels was a staple that I scored in a warehouse sales a few years back. The heels is chunky enough for me to balance on and the height is great, the only thing is that I didn't managed to break into it after for so long. I could still remember the day I wore these babies out the first time, it hurt so bad that my feet were blistered so badly. Oh, these are what girls do for beauty. :S  ~

Happy Lunar New Year to all of you, lovely readers. I hope you guys collected red packets and had yummy goodies to your fill. Here's my outfit that I put together for Day 1 of Chinese New Year.  Pastel mint top (Dorothy Perkins)//Pastel pink midi skirt (Dorothy Perkins)//Pony bag (Far East Plaza)//White belt (BKK; Platinum Mall)//Statement necklace (Platinum Mall)//Mickey & Minnie flats (BKK)  You can see for yourself how magical Bangkok is judging from the number of accessories that I'm wearing in this outfit. My love for Dorothy Perkins started during the days that I'm a UK 20 and even now I can't seem to quit my love for it.  The moment I stepped into the store, I set eyes on this pastel pink midi skirt immediately and when I saw the pastel mint top, I knew these 2 were just perfect for each other. I wasn't having any intention to buy because I was under the impression that given my height, any skirt that goes below my knees would made me look eve
