Believe.

I know that the bridges that I’ve burned along the way
Have left me with these walls and these scars that won’t go away
And opening up has always been the hardest thing
Until you came

So lay here beside me, just hold me and don’t let go
This feeling I’m feeling is something I’ve never known
And I just can’t take my eyes off you
And I just can’t take my eyes off you

I love when you tell me that I’m pretty when I just wake up
And I love how you tease me when I’m moody, but it’s never too much.
I’m falling fast, but the truth is I’m not scared at all
You climbed my wall

So lay here beside me, just hold me and don’t let go
This feeling I’m feeling is something I’ve never known
And I just can’t take my eyes off you
And I just can’t take my eyes off you, off you, off you

So lay here beside me, just hold me and don’t let go
Oh, this feeling I’m feeling is something I’ve never known
And I just can’t take my eyes off you
And I just can’t take my eyes off you

[Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Lady Antebellum]

And of course you know that I express myself through music and lyrics.

Today is Fashionable.

It’s a really fruitful Saturday that started off with an iLead meeting at the usual place, where we had our briefing on our upcoming trip to Silicon Valley in July – it’s now confirmed to be 17th to 30th July!!!

I totally can’t wait, and I really wanna extend the trip by another week or so…to shop, sightsee and EXPLORE California, Los Angeles, maybe even Beverly Hills???!!!

Wonderful!

It’s quite a lot of work done and reports to be submitted before such a rewarding trip arrives, but I guess this whole experience is all worth it. I mean, not many people have the chance to go to SV, tour Stanford University and visit Apple, Google, Youtube all at once right? Much less interact and network with the entrepreneurs and success figures there?

I’m so glad I have this opportunity to do that!

Professor Tom Kosnik is so cool to give us this interesting workshop today and introduced us a really good book – Good to Great by Jim Collins – and highlighted some important concepts we may use from it. I’m going to get this book for sure after listening to how brilliant it is.

“Why Some Companies Make the Leap, and Others

Don’t.”

And then I got some wonderful news and contacts from Prof Kosnik himself, as well as my dear friend Jasper.

Being offered a place at Prada will be a dream come true!!!

After the meeting I had a chill-out and shoe shopping time at 313 with Charlotte. Got a pair of Substance heels I love!!!

Fashion Updates!

Love Grecian dresses! Sienna Miller supposedly “used” to be the IT girl but I think she still is!

This shade of purple’s like my favourite right now – and yes of course – it complements any skin tone, any hairstyle and flatters your silhouette with its majestic hues.

These are Spring’s hottest looks – denim, candy colours, pastels, florals, nautical and prints. Always, always the most exciting and colourful season.

And most definitely, maxi dresses are back with all pomp and splendor – wear it pretty with minimal accessories and shades/a hat. Go under the sun for some play and you’ll just be the one who will get all the attention!

Easy to match and completely affordable spring style! Did I also mention how wearable and comfortable these outfits are?

Cheryl Cole’s one of those sophisticated ladies who always looks effortless chic! Uh-huh, she doesn’t need Ashley Cole on her arm to look better!

Love the sailor prom dress and spot corsage vest!

The rose printed lantern dress is AWESOME! – A hot favourite on Missselfridge.com!

Playsuits are always so easy to wear and so cute for casual day outs!

Wanted to get this whimsical Alice in Wonderland inspired dress from Forever 21 but my size (small) is out of stock on its online site! If anyone sees it in any local outlets please let me know okay??? Thanks!

Forever 21 Mesh Corset Dress

Outfit of the Day!

I’m already 23.

How many more years can I afford to waste doing things that I don’t enjoy doing, or feel forced to study/work to boost my CV?

The reason why I’m writing this is because I’m stuck on my term essay – no inspiration, no interest, no motivation to go on. But I have to.

I began to question the purpose of extending my studies at NUS just for that extra feather in my hat. So that I can have that “Honours” title on my graduation certificate.

But is it really worth it? I’ve been pondering for ages whether to take it, and finally I decided not to. Then again, I can never come back again to take it even if I wanted to. Just ONE MORE YEAR.

What I really desire is my starting my own business – so that I can plant that seed of passion for Fashion into the little pot to watch it grow and grow.

Every bit of effort you put in it, you will see the results and nothing can, or will, stop you from making it the best it can ever be.

‘Cos if you really love something, you will do well in it.

Melody’s flying off to BKK tomorrow. How I wish I could be like her, or anyone for that matter, who just buys a ticket and takes off whenever s/he feels like it.

That is my kind of lifestyle – spontaneous, unrestrained, sometimes unpredictable.

I know a time will come when I can finally do what I please, be really happy, and still have success in my hands.

A jet-setting life.

I guess I shall have to follow my heart more.

Hey, Soul Sister – Train

The video cannot be shown at the moment. Please try again later.

Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey.

Your lipstick stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains,
I knew I wouldn’t forget ya, and so I went and let you blow my mind.

Your sweet moon-beam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream.
I knew when we collided, you’re the one I have decided,
Who’s one of my kind.

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight.

Heeey Heeeeey Heeeeeey…

Just in time, I´m so glad you have a one-track mind like me.
You gave my life direction,
A game show love connection, we can’t deny…

I´m so obsessed, my heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest.
I believe in you, like a virgin you’re Madonna,
And I’m always gonna wanna blow your mind…

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight,

Way you can cut a rug,
Watching you’s the only drug I need.
So gangster, I’m so thug,
You’re the only one I’m dreaming of you see.
I can be myself now finally,
In fact there’s nothing I can’t be,
I want the world to see you be, with me,

Hey, Soul Sister, ain’t that mister mister on the radio, stereo,
The way you move ain’t fair you know.
Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you do tonight…

Hey, Soul Sister, I don’t wanna miss a single thing you dooooo…
Tonight.
Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey, tonight.
Heeey, Heeeeey, Heeeeeey.
Tonight.
