Fred's 24th
As you can read from the title, it was Freda's Birthday yesterday, and many of us got together to celebrate this joyous occassion with her. In case you don't have a clue who Fred is... Here's a short introduction. (Hahaha she's so gonna hate me when she sees this)
Let's take a walk down memory lane... I gotta know her back in 2012, so it was approximately 2 years since. She was the person who brought me into Gushcloud, where I was then exposed to all kinds of people, really cool people. She's my manager, my really good friend, and probably an older sister I never had. Even though we're both really busy, considering how much of a workaholic this lady is, she would always squeeze some time out of her busy schedule for me, and this is absolutely priceless. She's one person I give my utmost respect to, because she taught me so much and has always been there to guide me as I grow.
Most of you should know by now that I'm the only child in my family, and it does cross my mind several times, "How does it feel like to have an elder sibling?" Well, she answers that question. I've never felt so connected with someone before, and I'm really glad to have met Fred. As a person, or as a friend, she's someone I really value, someone I know would never ever walk out on me even if everyone else does.
Her shortcomings are what make her perfect. She's annoying and super naggy sometimes, but those are the small little gestures that allow me to realise how much I mean to her as well.
Thanks Fred, love you. (Don't get goosebumps or start tearing up pls. I know I'm very sweet, thanks. Hehe)

So anyway, we had dinner at this really decent, French restaurant, La Nonna, located at Namly Place. It is pretty isolated and the vicinity of it does give me the creeps, I'd probably freak myself out if I lived there and had to walk back home alone in the night.
Besides that, the food was really good and I'd say it's an ideal place to bring someone to, if you're out on a date and looking for a quiet place, with relatively affordable dishes.
Alright, I'll let the pictures do the talking now. (⬇︎ I'm sorry Fai, I just had to do this :p)

5 years. What's 5 years to some people? Some may think that 5 years can bypass like a gush of wind, and it's no big deal... Indeed, I wouldn't disagree, but the past 5 years have taught me so many things I'll never want to forget and will always be kept close to my heart.
Good or bad memories, they are still memories I wish to look back and laugh upon. Life hasn't been easy for me, but I'm glad to have come such a long way and to have learnt so many lessons to get me to where I am today.
However, I wouldn't have made it through if it wasn't for this special someone; my best friend, my pillar of strength, Trixy.
I've always told her the things we both have been through, could never be compared to any of the things any of my ex boyfriends and I did.
She's one of the first few friends I made in my secondary school, and probably one of the only friends that's still in my life until today.
Well, I've lost her. Twice. But I'm grateful that these encounters made us cherish each other more than before.
Remembering the days in secondary school, where I'd cry over some douchebag and she'll always be there to wipe those tears that were streaming down my face.
Over the past 5 years, we hardly fought... But whenever we did, those were the darkest period of my life. I would say I've quite a number of friends, but I wouldn't say the same for friends whom I'm close to.
Good friends are really hard to come by, which is something I'd perpetually remind myself of, and it's the reason why she's someone I'll never want to lose.
We've grown so much, so so much (as you can see.) From those two girls that almost every teacher disliked, those two rebellious ones who always tried stupid things together, those two who constantly explored new ideas on how to skip our dance classes together...
Haha, nothing ventured nothing gained - Wouldn't have realized how foolish all these were if they didn't take place.
And now, we're those two that helped each other come a long way, who are clear of our goals, and she's finally found someone who she loves, and who truly loves her too.
We share a similar character; like our views are usually the same for everything, but it's funny how we are also different at the same time. She's like the girly girl, and I'm the complete opposite of that. She's the kind who would stick in a relationship for years, and I'm the kind who... Let's not even get started on that.
We share different interests, but I believe it's our differences that bring us together.
I'm just so glad to have her in my life, she's like a twin sister I never had.
Late night phone calls, doing sneaky stuff together, ranting about boys together, telling each other everything, partying, sleep overs... Yeah, the capacity of this space wouldn't be enough to hold all my love for this girl.
I'm so happy to have you in my life, and I really hope you'd be happy, from the bottom of my heart. Because your happiness weighs so much more than all the little things in my life.
There's no doubt that I feel like strangling you and dumping you in the sea sometimes, but I know I'd still risk my life to save you even though I can't swim. Hehe.
I know this post is already cheesier than mac&cheese, but thank you for completing my life. Love ya.
Only a special occasion would be appropriate for me to write something like this. When you love someone, you don't have to tell them everyday... Besides, I think we insult more than we compliment each other. Like they always say,
"Boys insult each other, but they don't really mean it. Girls compliment each other, but they don't mean it either."
Haven't been in Singapore on her birthday for the past 4 years... Won't take the blame, my parents just had to coincidentally place our flight on her birthday.
BUT GUESS WHAT, I'M FINALLY AROUND THIS TIME!!!
Wanted to bring this girl somewhere for brunch on her bday (3 days back), but the plan turned out to be such a failure. The store was closed for some personal reasons that day.
Nonetheless, we walked around and found this Asian, Japanese restuarant which managed to salvage our dampened moods.
Love the ambience of the whole place! A little intimidating though, too many caucasians around... Felt a little stress to dine there lmao.
Look who's this gorgeous girl.
Prices of the food there were unexpectedly affordable considering how exquisite everything was. About SGD20-25. Not to mention how filling they were.

Can't deny that one of the things that I was really taken aback by, would be how I'm really in love with these dresses that I've gotten from Fleurettos!
Well, I've never been a big fan of flora prints... At least for the past two years. Besides, who knew I would dress up this way? Totally unlike me, but I decided to give it a try.
AND I ACTUALLY LIKE IT.
Apart from the cut-in sleeves, (which is my fav, because it shows off your shoulder blades - makes you look thinner) I'm surprised how good the quality of the dress was. Frankly, I wasn't really expecting much.
There are a billion over outfits in the world, but have any of you ever wondered what makes a good outfit to me, besides its design? The cutting. Sounds pretty cliche, but cuttings do actually matter a lot.
Certain dresses make you look taller, whereas others make you look petite. Some make you look slimmer, and some help you "put on some weight."
I wanted to alter the dresses initially, cos I felt like I was too short to fit into them... I didn't know what made me change my mind, but I guess it was a good decision. At least to me it was. Didn't wanna show off too much of my ginormous tree trunks anyway. Lol
This dress gives off a slightly more "mature" feeling compared to the first piece, with its tight-fit cutting, and polyester-cotton material. (Feels a bit like silk)
.
Feels really classy to me.
I feel that both look pretty good without the need of any accessories, because of their designs, but you can top it off with a simple bangle or necklace! Simplicity is the best. :)

Celebrated one of my amazing managers, Sheena's (+ Kimberly) birthday last Sat evening.
Met Tyler, Joanna, Rid, JH and Symone to get her a gift before Tyler drove us all to The Sentosa's Garden Villa.
I swear we had the worst time of our lives trying to find our way there. Apparently we weren't certain of the exact location, and made a wasted trip all the way to the end of Tanjong Beach. Only after alighting, and walking for about 15 mins, we then realized we went to the wrong place. /Pulls hair/
It was fun, yet super exhausting!!! Filled with perspiration by the time we got back into the car.
Finally after going in circles for about 30-45mins, we arrived!
I think I can skip the explanation on why 3/4 of the place was filled with pink stuff... But if you still don't know why, it's because the theme's Barbie!
This little cup of goodness was so yummy.
With the Birthday girl!
Symone~ Doesn't she look so Korean? Couldn't stop telling her that, lol.
The cake's so pretty!!!
Sheena and Kimberly~
I don't know what makes me happier than watching people I love, happy. Bliss.
Ending this post with a picture I really don't remember taking thereafter, at Zouk for Eric's Birthday party. Hahaha.
Birthdays after birthdays!!!! So many of my friends' birthdays fall on this month, including my Mom. Gonna burn a hole in my pocket.
Alright bye guys!

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.
