Breathe
Wet pillows, swollen eyes, breathing difficulties... Those nights you wish you could sleep and didn't have to wake up ever again, those nights you lie in bed for hours wondering how your life would've turned out to be if you made a different decision, those nights you stay up just to think about someone who probably forgotten about you... I guess most of us have experienced that before.
We all bound to face those days where we just wanna ditch our phone, disconnect from the world and indulge in some alone time, or maybe just go missing for a few hours and check back in to see if anyone actually notices your disappearance. Sounds stupid, but you get my drift.
I think it feeling unhappy and having a pessimistic outlook on certain things in life, is inevitable. No matter how positive someone is, we all have our bad days and we will all, at some point feel like the whole world's crashing down just because of one person...
They always say to live your life for you, not for anyone else, but then again, if you don't live for something, you'll just end up dying for nothing. Hahaha, so that being said -
Find the right person that's worth the pain. Someone who brings out the best in you, not someone you've to be the best for.

Don't regret anything, cos every mistake is a lesson learnt and don't ever let one bad day, make you feel like you've a bad life.
Just some random thoughts I had. Anyway, here are some outfit pictures taken recently :)

Haven't done a review for a pretty long time now, and I thought I'd share what I've gotten recently from Shopskinned!
Anyway, I'm really particular about the things I get online. Not that I've been okay about receiving low-quality stuff, I'm just extremely anal about it recently.
Which explains the lack of fashion-related reviews, for being rather selective of what I want to share with y'all. Don't wanna end up becoming one of those who lie about my reviews just cos I'm paid to do so.

So here are two outerwear that I picked. The first, as you can see, is this black leather jacket.
One advantage and why it's essential to have at least one in your wardrobe? It's something that will never go out of trend.
Whether you're going on a casual date, formal event, day or night, it's still gonna be that one jacket you probably can't go wrong with. Best part? You don't necessarily have to pair it up with shorts, pants or anything edgy, dresses can go well with it too.
A lot of people have this misconception that leather jackets can only fit girls with an edgy style, but I beg to differ! Cos personally, I think anyone could pull it off. It's really how you wear it to fit your personal style that makes a difference.
And because this jacket is made of soft leather, you can customize them with studs and spikes too! They are easily attainable at places like *SCAPE. I remember seeing them at one of the shops near the main entrance.
So here's how I paired my jacket!
A see-through, polkadot cropped top with boyfriend jeans, and white courts.
Leather jackets can cost up to 300 to a few grand in some stores, of course with the branding, genuine leather etc.
But I really wouldn't mind getting this at only $39.90, for a really good quality!
As for the second piece, it's this varsity jacket with embroidery on it.
I know varsity jackets have always been around, but there's always a period of time where it's the super "in thing" and suddenly it's just like another piece of clothing on the rack.
But what I like about this, is that it's not like the usual ones, where they are typically like...
In fact, they are not as thick and I guess it's more suitable for our generally terrible weather here in Singapore.
I paired mine up with a tank and high-waist denim bottom, both from Topshop and a pair of Flora-printed vans.

School's finally coming to an end!!! *Jumps for joy* Okay, not exactly an end. Just term-break. Which means I'll be flying off to Sydney real soon... In fact, in about a week's time.
I haven't been on good vacation for the past couple of years. Something unfortunate will always happen right before I leave, and most of the time they bother me so much that my heart and mind would be left here even though my soul's there.
Especially the last trip I made to Hong Kong when I lost almost 8 lbs in a week because of some issues I had with my ex bf.
And for once, I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that it'll all be fine as I'm really looking forward to this getaway.
Personally, nothing beats going to Australia. It's not that they have everything, it's just that that was the first place I've travelled to with my family at the age of 3 and it's also one of the countries I've been to most frequently. Nostalgia oh nostalgia - Which is why I really wish I could live there when I'm older.
So anyway, I've been wanting to get my hair dyed red again after the crazy amount of positive responses I've gotten a year ago, before I fly off.
Time for a change after 3 months of boring hair.
Just in case if you were wondering what happened to my left eye, I got hit by the barrier at the parking gantry. Worst moment of my life, hurt so bad that I burst into tears. Lmao, funny thing was... I screamed and everyone around thought my guy friend hit me. Oops.
Good thing is, it has pretty much recovered!
Picked the same shade of red again.
However, I wanted something different and Jamie (My stylist) suggested that I had my ends bleached for a sombre effect, and I agreed!
And after 3 hours of bleaching, dyeing and treatment... Here's the end result!
Here are some pictures I've taken over the past few days. Noticed that the red colour stayed on pretty well so far with the Redken products Jamie gave me, especially the colour extend total recharge product above which helps treat my hair and retain its colour at the same time.
Pullover - Topman
Bag - Agnès B
Shoes - UNIF
Top - Uniqlo
Bag - Trussardi

Labels: Fashion, Hair, Latest Update, OOTD, Reviews, Salon Vim Yet another day.
Feeling really exhausted now after a lying on the floor for the past 4 hours working on my art pieces which are due tomorrow.
I'm so drained. So many things to do, yet so little time. Still struggling, and trying to adapt to everything.
At least I'm glad to say that I'm still getting the adrenaline rush every once in awhile, or should I say that spur energy that keeps me going? Whatever.
I just hope this conscientious attitude would continue, and my hard work wouldn't go in vain.
Anyway, just a short update before I hit the sack soon.

Yesterday's details
Just some pictures Cleon took after we were done studying.
If you were having a bad day, I hope the next picture brightens your day (or night maybe) a little haha.
The truth is revealed, this is how I usually sit... lol.
Anyway if you were wondering why there aren't any pictures of him, it's because he's camera-shy. NOT.
And anyway, I'm back on a low-carb diet again since I've been so busy... I barely have any time to work out.
Yeap, which means I gave my mashed potato to Cleon :(
Here are some tips just in case any of you out there need it!
Things you should avoid eating:
1) Sugar: Soft drinks, fruit juices, agave, candy, ice cream and many others.
2) Gluten Grains: Wheat, spelt, barley and rye. Includes breads and pastas.
3)Trans Fats: “Hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oils.
4) Highly Processed Foods: If it looks like it was made in a factory, don’t eat it.
5) Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Cyclamates and Acesulfame Potassium. Use Stevia instead.
Reduce the amount of dairy products as well - Milk, Chocolates, Cheese etc.
Some of the things you should/can eat:
Beef, lamb, pork, chicken breast, salmon, trout, eggs...
PLENTY OF fruits and vegetables.
You can have a bit of yogurt (Not frolick etc, of course.) / plenty of water before each meal so that lesser space is left to be filled up with food :p

Some random video taken last Friday.

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.
