Happy New Year | A Trip Down Memory Lane

I'm never one for celebrating national day or new year countdown in town or anywhere with lots of people hoping to see a glimpse of the fireworks. I've been there and done that over the past few years, and the squeezing and pushing just keeps me from even thinking about going to the club or orchard to countdown with the rest of the excited Singaporeans. 

Don't get me wrong. I'm super excited about 2014 and I can't wait to see what it has got to offer. This past year has its ups and downs for me, personally. It was honestly not the best beginning I could ask for. My 21st was great. Family and friends gathering to catch up, not forgetting the drinking part. I met someone who would chase my dreams with me and be there whenever I need/ask. And thank god I didn't fail any of my uni paper because that would suck. 

And most of all, I'm starting to do what I love. 

Not many people could understand why I love makeup so much, why I get all passionate about it when others asks, why I'm into taking pictures (of myself, really) and why I couldn't take my mind off it. I remember I was having my exams, studying for my papers, but all I could think about was what I wanted to blog about and the makeup I wanted to play with. So I guess that's when I knew that this was something I want to do, probably for the rest of my life. And I shouldn't care much of what others would think/say about it because this is my life and I choose the way I want to live. So I started my own blog and film videos.

So at the end of the day, taking the first step is difficult but so necessary. Quit being in your little box, step out, be shame-less. Do something you ACTUALLY love doing. 

Love,

Lydia
