What I've been up to lately
Just wanted to do a short update on what's going on in my life and some thoughts about what's happening lately.
Life has pretty much been the same for me - Hanging out with my friends, a bit of partying, boxing lessons, hunting for good food places, and just working on new stuff for you guys as usual!
I guess the only few differences..... (Some of you might already know) I've actually decided to try out DJ-ing. Didn't really talk much about it bcos I foresee em' haters hatin' lol. I'm taking up lessons from School Of Music (SOM) with DJ Rattle, and I must say things are going pretty smoothly. I really look forward to classes every week. Rattle's like really patient with me as well. Besides, this is another one of the long-list of things I've incorporated into my life to help me alleviate stress.
Anyway, as much as I'd like to share my experience with you guys now... I think it's a little too early, so I'll share it when I'm confident enough and have something worth flaunting. Hehe, Kidding.
I've also been trying to spend more quality time with my family as much as possible, bcos recently it just hit me on how important my kin are. Not that I never knew this from the start, just that it has really gotten into me ever since I've finally experienced that whole situation of "everyone may turn their backs against you, but your family will definitely not.
And I really don't wanna regret not spending sufficient time with them only when something happens someday. I've been through a lot of shit over the past two months, and I wouldn't have been here without my parents' and their unconditional love and concern... Haha k, not gonna elaborate further cos this isn't the purpose of this post.
I guess the last change is that I've changed my hair colour AGAIN. Won't be for long though, cos it's just a transitionary colour. (Will talk more about this at the end of this post)

Since we're talking about things that have happened in my life recently, I thought I could maybe share something that's a little more in depth, for instance...
Well, I mean I believe a crazy number of you should know about Cory Monteith's death by now and you guys may be thinking "That was so yesterday! Why are you raking it up again?! Get over it." Oh no, hold your horses! I just wanted to take some time to explain myself on what's the cause behind the rather reckless tweet I've tweeted a day after his death, which caused an unexpected and pretty unnecessary commotion (more like a really retarded fuss) on twitter.
Thoughts on his death.
I must admit, even though I'm not a big fan of Glee (TV show), I'd never ever discredit any of the actors/actresses nor deny how gifted most of them are. It's such a tragedy and sense of shame that this has taken place, especially if we were to spare a second to think about how much the young, talented Cory has contributed previously when he was still alive.
Well, obviously that alone wouldn't have made him that special among all the brilliant actors in this world. From some info that I've garnered over a few research sessions on Google, this young man also came across to many as a benevolent and conscientious person.
Part of what makes him different from other teen icons was that, he spoke out against bullying, homophobia and talked often about how he hoped his recent stint in rehab from addiction would inspire others.
It's inevitable for many celebrities to avoid having to stumble into a state of confusion between their public image and their private selves, and the situation is usually aggravated when many teen icons try to "sell" their perception of life to young fans; Considering how far their fans are from the fast-moving lives these celebrities live.
And despite struggling with his career, Cory takes responsibility on his image really well too.
A few of these flairs of his are good enough to contribute to why so many have been dismayed by his sudden death.
I don't really have much of an opinion about him, nor do I think I've the rights to make any personal remarks since I don't know him really well; Be it his social or personal life. After all, I can't judge him based on a few recent articles I've read about him after this incident.
However, after reading what certain people had to say about him when he hit number 1 on the trending list on Twitter, there WAS in fact something that really bugged the hell out of me which resulted to the reason behind my tweet.
Being Disrespectful (Not)
In case you're living under a rock and you're completely clueless about what I've said so far... Here's what I've tweeted:
I feel like I'm gonna die early in the aftermath of this incident, cos I've been cursed so badly right after this tweet went viral.
I've actually already explained myself on twitter after that, saying, "I wasn't in any way insulting Cory nor mocking his death at all. Just wna make a point that if you love someone, don't just show affection after they are gone. Which is what's ALWAYS the case. You get me? I've never discredited him for what he has contributed, did I? My heart goes all out to him and his family. Don't get me wrong. So no offence supporters." but I just felt like there was a need to address this issue all over again, since it has yet to fully subside.
Before you guys go on and on about how I'm trying to entertain my haters here or cover my ass, yea you wish sorry, but I'm not. I'm writing this only because I feel wronged, and I just wanted to make it clear that my intention of tweeting that was never to be disrespectful towards Cory nor his loved ones.
I was just infuriated when I saw sooooo many hypocrites acting like they were some fucking hardcore fan of his when they were clearly not, but only cos everyone was mourning over his death.
Just in case you don't get what I've just mentioned, basically it means like those people who pretended to love him (after he's dead), acting all compassionate and upset about his death when all they wanted was for people to retweet their tweets - You know, like wanting everyone to be touched by their fake-ass solicitude.
Which was why I was outraged and hence, tweeted that statement out of impulse. I didn't choose to apologize to apease the angry fans even though that could've made things a little better because I didn't want some ignorant pea-brains to think that I admit that I was in the wrong.
The only thing that I would ever apologize on, was the way I phrased my sentence. After all, I just typed and hit the send button immediately, out of anger. I would've thought twice if I knew how shallow some people are.
Which leads on to another reason why I wanted to talk about this matter again.
What the F U C K is wrong with people these days, doing things out of personal gains, even if it includes doing it at the expense of someone else?
So many fools were hating on me not because they were genuinely mad over what I've said about Cory's Death, but it was only because they wanted retweets????????? Absolutely ridiculous! Felt like I've completely lost all faith in humanity.
I'm not just saying this based on my own assumption, but I've seen so many cases as such before.
For instance, Flyingbanana123 tweets about trending topic (MRT) "The MRT services in Singapore sucks la! Forever breaking down. It's really annoying when you've to get to somewhere quickly!" *Gets 500 RTS*
Soon later, you'll start seeing a whole bunch of monkeys tweeting the same shit in a different manner, along the same line. "It's so irritating when you've to get to somewhere quickly, but the MRT in Singapore is forever breaking down!"
And I'm just like......
Lol, you're either feeling really guilt stricken right now because you're one of those people that I've just described, or you "feel me" because you've came across people like these too.
I even have this faggot raking up an issue on a tweet that I've tweeted a year back, trying to pick up a fight with me all over again. (I hope you're reading this.) You didn't get my attention on twitter, so I thought maybe you'd love this...
I'm cool with people who speak how they really feel. I mean, if you really hate me, by all means carry on hating, it's not like I've yet to see the worst of what people have to say about me. Just don't "monkey see monkey do" can??? What's the point?
And I just loathe the idea of people trying to bring someone down to get above them, that's just really cheap and despicable.
Whatever. Anyway, rants aside, I still wanna apologize to those whom I might have unintentionally offended.

Here are a couple of pictures I've taken over the past few weeks. Just something to soothe your eyes after reading a heated post.
Hanging out with Janice at her Aunt's. I'd die to stay over. Just look at how beautiful it is! Motivates me to work hard and earn big bucks to move in to town someday.
Got some yummy local food from Ion's food court before we walked over.
Just us playing with the multiple-shots function using my camera's self-timer.
This is so uncalled for hahaha!
Some party pics.
.
.

Last but not least, made a trip to Salon Vim @ Bugis again!
Dyed half my hair into an ash-brown colour this time!
Well, I won't elaborate much since this isn't the final hair colour, but nonetheless, I still love it! Thanks to my hairstylist Jaime once again ;)
Anyway, they are having a promo now till the end of this month! Don't miss it!
Also, don't forget to book an appointment with Jaime to receive 10% off upon quoting my name! ;) Labels: Cory Monteith, Latest Update, Rants, Salon Vim

ABOUT ME
Hey there! I share about anything and everything here. You can choose to leave, but I think you should get to know me a little more before you pass your judgement. Check out my FAQ section if it helps.
Who are you?
I'm Naomi, better known as Naomi Neo, and I'm born on the 25th of January 1996. I don't have any siblings, but I'm grateful to have the best parents in the world, who love me unconditionally, and a best friend Trixy who's been there for me for the past 5 years. Currently titled as the youngest "Celebrity Blogger" under my management, Gushcloud - With approximately 124k likes & followers on my Facebook profile and page, 80k followers on twitter and 116k on Instagram currently.
What are you known for?
Honestly, I've no idea what am I known for in majority's eyes, but here's what I presume and hope to be recognised for - I've been writing on all my social platforms since 2009, and got kind of known from writing my thoughts and views on Facebook. My first blog post that went viral was an entry dedicated to my good friend back then, titled "Mothers," in late 2010. Noticing the positive results, I decided to take blogging a little more seriously in 2011. Since then, I've been told that my posts were relatable and inspiring to many, which hence, got me to where I am today.
How well to do is your family? You seem rather spoilt.
I think I'm just average and if you think I'm wealthy rich and spoilt, you're so wrong. I mean yes, my parents do pamper me cos I'm the only child, but I've never taken their money since 2013. And I pay for all my clothes, accessories, make up and 90% of my daily necessities from the money I earn.
What are your stats?
I'm a UK 4 or 6, I've been stuck between 38kg - 40kg. Since I've never really talked about my height, you can deduce I'm exceptionally short and I'm not proud of it - So if you know it, good for you. If you don't, too bad I'm not revealing it. :p
Are you single?
Yes I am. My last relationship was in 2013, and I'm not seeing anyone at the moment.
Do you photoshop your pictures?
No, I don't. Cos I honestly have no idea how to use that crazily complexed software. Ok, it's not very complicated I suppose. I'm just god damn lazy. I only use it to design my texts etc. However, I've been using PicMonkey to edit my pictures. Yeah I know, the main question's still back to whether I "beautify" myself or not. Er, I've no idea what's up with people constantly harping on this issue. The last time I claimed that I don't, was probably in 2012 (which I really didn't back then) But along the way, I figured it was necessary to "upgrade" myself and learn how to. If I can't do plastic surgery, at least make my pictures look chio what. If you know how to, question is, WHY NOT? And, don't you guys wanna see nice pictures too?!?! However I'd like to emphasise that - I do not beautify myself in all my pictures. I only do so when I feel the need to. And 3/4 of the time, I only make adjustments to my gigantic, elephant legs WHICH I admit, I'm very insecure about. So don't tell me my legs are damn nice la, cos some pictures are deceiving. Anyway, I've tons of videos everywhere... Judge for yourself?
Did you have any plastic surgery done?
No I didn't. Firstly, I could not afford to. Secondly, even if I do have the money, my parents are definitely not open to the idea. Thirdly, if I have the money and my parents' consent... OH PLEASE, I would have made myself look a zillion times better than how I am now. So some of you may ask, why is it that I have parallel eyelids. I've mentioned this before, but since some of you are too lazy to find out the truth - Fyi, I am born with double eyelids to begin with, I just wanted to have parallel instead of tapered eyelids. And in case you're really sensitive about it, I'm not saying tapered's not nice... It's just personal preference. In case you don't know what I'm talking about...
So yeah, I tried using eyelid tapes for about 6 months in 2011, and miraculously, have permanent parallel lids since then. I think I'm really lucky. Why do I say so? Cos it doesn't work for everyone.
Don't you think it's better to be natural?
Unfortunately, not everyone's blessed with natural beauty. And even though I've never claimed to be ugly, I've never claimed to be pretty by nature either. I won't deny I've been rather extravagant when it comes to the amount of money I spend on things to beautify my physical appearance, cos sadly, it is important to look good in this society today. You can read more on my views about physical appearance (here). And I don't see anything wrong with wanting to look good or better. Everybody wants to. If you tell me you value natural beauty, I'm cool with it, but if you tell me about your self-righteous logic on how it's wrong to enhance your appearance... Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.

Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.
Are you insecure about your looks?
Yes I am, to a certain extent. I believe you would too, if you have a hundred people reminding you about your flaws every single day. But the thing is, I love myself. So I've accepted that's it's fine not to be perfect.
Do you think you're attention seeking?
Most ridiculous question ever. My question to you is, are you not? This is probably my millionth time saying this, but I think everyone seeks for attention. The only thing that differentiates each of us would be the miles we would travel for it. From a level of - I want attention to Kim Kardashian, it's just a matter of fact how much you want it. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you're doing something despicable, and harming someone to your own benefits. Besides, no matter how much I love it - It may sound ironic, but I hate unnecessary attention. I only like it when it's for something I worked hard to gain. If you know me well enough, I'm not the kind who would go nude just to get myself to where I want. (Just an example)
How do you deal with your haters?
I've been receiving nasty comments since the day I had a blog, in 2007. I've seen the worst, and it came to a point where it amuses me, because I actually get to find out things I didn't know about myself. I used to care so much, I would cry myself to bed on most nights and I even had issues stepping out of my house at a period of time. However, it took me years to realise how stupid it is to reciprocate to what people who don't me have to say, especially stories/rumours they fabricate. I'm fine with constructive criticisms because I've learnt to take it the positive way - Helping me to improve and get better. Of course it still pisses me off at times when I see untrue stuff about me circulated around by my haters, and I'd either ignore it (if it's nothing too serious) or address it, in other words, stand up for myself (if I find a need to.) And when I ignore it, I don't look at it in a way where I'm a coward or I admit to it - I just find it a waste of time to acknowledge the existence of these people, when most of them are just dying to get my response from their juvenile remarks. Yet when I retaliate, (which I rarely do these days) I only do so when something's getting out of hand. Like if it's tarnishing my reputation or sort. After all, I'm a girl. And I wouldn't "just ignore it" if it affects my name. If I don't stand up for myself, who would? Then again, I don't think that means I care about my haters - I just care about myself enough to want to shut your mouth. Besides, I can stop 1, 2 or 3 people from talking about me, but how many times can I do so? Fact is, you can't please everyone. So it's either you focus on what you have, or waste your life by dwelling on what you don't. And for those friends who decided to leave and hate me for what others have to say? Here's a big... THANK YOU. Haha, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have realised who my real friends were.
Do you think you deserve what you have now?
Honestly, I've always felt that I don't in a way, cos of how affected I used to be about what people have to say - "There are better looking people out there," "You are not good enough!" etc. However, I've came to a realisation that it's impossible to be the best. Cos there will always be someone better, no matter how good you think you are. And as long as I think I've done my best, I don't see why I don't deserve to be where I am today. I've worked so hard for the things I have, and it's not like everything I have is an overnight success. So too bad if you beg to differ and think that a) I'm only here due to my looks, which I think is completely senseless, cos if it was just about my looks, I wouldn't have been around after so long - Taking into consideration, the ever-rising number of good-looking people there are today. b) it's bcos of what I write, cos I definitely won't claim to be the best writer. Somehow it's still a mystery to me why people still read my blog until today. c) and it's probably cos you don't know me well enough. I definitely agree that someone out there deserves this so much more than I do, but I guess it's true that life's unfair, and I'm sorry I have no control over it.
