 I told a friend that day about my dreams and aspirations and how disappointed I was that I had to go to Jc when my heart really rather be somewhere else. Told her about the fashion designer wishes and after our 7th round around the track, she told me " hey, design something for me." It caught me by surprise and I kinda gave a ton of excuses about how it wouldn't be good. But she said: " It doesn't have to be out of this world, it just have to show my personality." That was the 3rd time I met her. So I decided to use my interpretation of her instead, but that isn't the point. The point is, that statement ignited the dying spark in me. After school today, after doodling through all my lessons, I went to the library and finally picked up a few books on fashion. Some of it on fashion design course, some on style and even some on sewing. Flipped through several and then picked up my pencil and drew. It felt different, in a good way. It was a break from going through the motions of going to school, getting through the day in school and going home feeling exhausted. I felt rejuvenated and accomplished. It gave me a load of new ideas. I wouldn't say that they are designs, perhaps more of styling since most of the pieces drawn were really just items put together from collections I've been exposed to recently. I'll see how it turns out and then decide if I'll post it up. I do really got to decide if I am going to proceed to colour it or not since my colouring skills could be rather bad. Nonetheless, it really feels good to know that going to Jc doesn't mean that I have to give up everything.
And lastly, although I might not tell her this personally, Im really really grateful to that friend. Love you girl. (:

Insecurities.

Everyone has them, but we handle them differently. Some prefer to not talk about them, some would make jokes about it so as to hide it while others just pretend its not there. Nevertheless, we still have to agree that everyone is plagued with it. Be it about their height, their sparse fringe, their inability to jump as high as they wish to or even the thought of never ever having been in a relationship -- we all worry about it.
Insecurities could be banished, but it's not easy. What makes it harder is comments by unreasonable and rude people that targets directly at such insecurities, making you cringe and just want to hide under your seat making you think and analyse how bad it actually is. Our minds starts wandering, digging up the worse case scenarios and making you feel worse than you already did.
Insecurities, who lives without them?
Ive been plagued with them to and you guys know about it to. E.g Being uncomfortable about what I wear, Having the same bag/headphones as other people and etc. However, after random conversations with classmates and friends, Ive realised how insignificant those actually are. All these issues are branches of trying too hard. Dont everyone end up falling into this category? Trying to be cool, trying to blend in, trying to get that guy/girl's attention. We all end up unhappy. Ive decided. Im just gonna be me. I'll hang out with people Im comfortable with, I'll talk about issues I want to, I'll wear clothes I want to and last of all, I dont care if you have the same bag as me.
Being comfortable in my own skin. Hey, I think that's the coolest thing ever. Insecurities, they will be banished with this new positive mindset.
And nothing says it more than this song.
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

As cheesy as it is, after an entire week of school, all I long for is a beach trip where I run not because I have to but because I want to feel the sand between my toes. I've been pulled and stretched to my maximum and I can feel every part of me screaming for a break. Im really glad it's a weekend, hopefully I manage to squeeze in some time for shopping. These eyes need to look at pretty things. Speaking of shopping, Im really hoping to get that top I saw at rockstar that day. Sucha pity that I didnt have enough cash.
Although school has been really exhausting, Ive met several awesome people who really made my day. A few of which also has stong interest for fashion and speaking about shoes send us all into fangirl mode. There is really nothing better than chilling over a cup of ice tea while talking about clothes.Crossing all my fingers that we will be able to drop our books and go shopping together soon!
love, px
Shopping fix?

First two pictures are of the awesome heartshaped balloon I received from a totally unexpected friend today and the rose is a really sad picture of how it ended up in a few hours. I swear I took care of it. Stuff so ridiculous often happen to me, leaving me to wonder why. Im getting my new camera soon and hopefully that means pictures!
love, px
Say what?!

My jaw dropped upon seeing this and then I realised that I actually want it.
It's by Gabriella Marina Gonzalez and it's genius. Did you realise it is actually sort of like a pair of flats?
gorgeous.
love, px
I need a break!

These are definitely my favorites from the photo shoot. I've been decked in t-shirts and shorts for school the past 2 days and then uniform today. I really need to wear something that is not gonna make me cringe every time I look in the mirror!
Already So Wonderful.

Finally met up with my bestest bestest friend at her place despite my parents and relatives strongly disagreeing to me going to a non chinese's place on Chinese new year. I really couldn't care less because I knew it was today or a month later. We spent 2 hours just catching up with one another and another having a photoshoot. There's a lot to say about how excited I was to see her but there's really no need to say it here since we both know it. I'm really really thankful for meeting her. She was really the reason why I had the courage to start this blog. Thank you thank you thank you!
Anyways, love this top to the max! It really helps give the illusion of a slimmer figure and it totally brings me back to the 60's. It's in my current favorite colour and has my favorite animal print! So many things to love about it! I'm beginning to embrace this skirt as well though the length has little to desire for. The shoes totally didn't match but they are soooooooooo comfy!
I love this outfit and hey it's the first outfit I've posted since the confession! What do you think of it?
love, px
Super super super quiet?!

What are you looking forward to this new year? Mine's definitely the new clothes! It is so agonizing to wait to wear those new clothes and I'm so glad I can finally wear them tomorrow! Now many of it, but definitely a fresh change from the ones I've grown tired of. This is the last real holiday I'm gonna have till I end the 2 years of college and I'm gonna make the best out of it! (:
Caught up with my best friend today and it really made my day. She laughed when I told her how I was known as the super super super quiet girl. I find it hilarious myself. I've been everything but that! Really got to start getting out of my comfort zone and start speaking to strangers/ potential friends.
Anyway! Happy Lunar New Year to everyone out there! Eat, drink and be merry!
love, px
Not so cool.

It seems like my unique bag is no longer as unique as i thought it was. Back in Secondary School, it was the one and only Tagger. Now it's one of the many Taggers. If you were to ask me, I'm really peeved about it but Im probably not the only one who feels that way too. Oh yeah and some dude has got my headphones too. Irritatinggggggg.
But I guess that's what moving on to a new enviroment is about -- learning that what you think you are might not be true. I guess it's time to search for a new unique bag. (:
Can't really believe it but chinese new year is just tomorrow. Im really feeling rather unprepared! I hope plans will come rolling in so I'll enjoy myself before the work starts piling. Meanwhile, enjoysome the polaroids I've finally scanned after much procrastination. (Oh, and polaroids are starting to become one of those thing everyone is doing as well. The first time I used it, people were like "Whats that?" Now people are like " Oh, my friend have it too." Time to find a new hobby?)
    
Oh, I buy my films here: http://littletinrobot.livejournal.com.
Love, px
p.s. cant believe im doing this, but ... hi amirah
