#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. :)
