#47 - Newpaper New Face Finals 2013


 Time really speeds up as you get older
Around the same period last year, I had my moment of glam on the very same stage at Takashimaya
Life has definitely changed pretty much since then

Managed to get modelling jobs then I never believed I could
Met lots of new fabulous people 
Received sweet supportive emails, Thanks I really do appreciate them
(been trying really hard to reply each one but my busy schedule lately just prevents me from doing so sorry!!)
On a whole, I grew as a person
Much more confident than the past 
Believing in myself a lot more that I'm able to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks
More courageous and willing to create opportunities for myself
Thanks to Newpaper New Face :)



Though sometimes I really wish I could go through the same journey again
but....gosh other times I'm just glad it's over, being judged is really scary ^^ 
Now that I'm part of the new New Face Alumni I can return and watch the new batches competing
Looking them walk the stage, going through what we've been through is really nostalgic

ahhh the stage like how i remembered it to be :)
before the show started: sherena, jayley, shine, me, hosin
woohoo Sharin, winner for my 2012 batch, starting the show!!
she looked AMAZING. can't expect anything less ^^
Hossan Leong was the host for this year!
Talented guy really, a treasure in the entertainment industry
Really gotta salute him for being able to grab and entertain everyone throughout the entire night
though being only an one-man act
Theme for this year is Playhouse!
Jade (1st runner-up 2013) walks the stage. this girl is gorgeous. early favorite of mine 
Male models and MAGICIANS. 
the singer was really good!
p.s. check out the male models' shoes. seriously breaking bones and boundaries *applause*
GUESS WHAT
they invited kid models this year too to walk the last lap with the finalists
sooo cuteeeeeee 
Jade

rocking the afro-do with her little counterpart
and yes the afro girl was the eventual winner for 2013!!
Congrats to all the finalists :)
The night was awesome.
Finally had a breather after all the mugging during the week
Needed a break. Needed social interaction. #thankful

with my 2012 girls: wynne, me, hosin, charmaine, audrey, nadia
officially old faces now. I'll never forget this bunch of lovely ladies <3
And with this, our reign is really over.
till today, I'm still thankful for everything that happened
the chance, opportunities, opened doors, friends
#neverbeforgotten
life will only get better if you put in effort to pursue your dreams
whether you achieve the dream or not is only secondary though
cheesy but really, it's about the journey, what you learnt out of it and how you grow as a person

read this phrase off somewhere earlier this week:
"it's not how much you make or where you live that makes you happy , its how you live"

so don't be afraid of failures everyone.
no one's journey is entirely smooth.
hang in there. be optimistic. cherish every minute.

L.O.L, Kylie Y.


p.s. it's 3.27am now. finally finished the report for a marketing group project due 8am not long ago
really this is uni life. haha I don't hate it actually.
the stress and workload are a bother but I'm quite enjoying it at the same time.
mugging through the night with my project mates definitely makes it easier
hang in there fellow struggling students. we're all in this together. :)

#46 - Recess Week in a Nutshell: Work Hard, Play Hard


#whyimisshome
finally, after 7 weeks of crazy mugging
there is RECESS WEEK
there was no lectures, tutorials, seminars!
okay sounds great but reality check, 
the week is still mostly for revising what was thought during the 1st half of the semester #sighpie

colour pens makes studying interesting, no? ^^
and yeah taking selfies every now and then is quite a distraction
Finally managed to have some night outs and meet up with my friends! 
Everyone needs to have a stress reliever now and then
Wenkang & elroy - people I'm really comfortable around
talking about nonsense and fooling around
CHERISH YOUR TIME BEFORE ENLISTMENT
my dear Morgan mates
whoever said NBS people are just hardcore muggers. you are so wrong.
Had some time to do some self-pampering too
in an attempt to chase away the dark circles and eye bags accumulated from sleep deprivation

On Thursday, I headed out (I think I only stepped out of house twice during recess week? ^^")
for Newpaper New Face Finals 2013!
woah woah guess who's the host

It was really nostalgic, met up with the girls from my batch and other alumni
felt really great to have some social interaction finally after cooping in the house
-I'll save this for another post-
#ootdthursday #throwback
really is a throwback. 1 year flew past since new face 2012 so quickly
officially an "old face" now
last but not least
finally managed to spend time with my boo Samie <3
really missed him...
sorry for being away so long and not spending time with you :( 


though I must say that I'm really glad to be home
normally I return home on Saturday mornings and back to NTU on Sunday nights
I get homesick quite easily :(
-good or bad, I just can't seem to grow out of the comfort of family home-
trying hard though, give me time

sometimes I'm really envious of those who can get so used to being away from home
staying in school throughout the week and then have a social life during the weekends
while I'm the kind of person who devotes my weekends to my family
oh wells, people are different, good/bad is subjective to personal opinion :)

School has started again. With examinations ending on 2nd December.
Really looking forward to the year-end trip.
Using that as motivation to pull through this 2nd half of the semester...

motto: work hard. play hard.
