A change of style

My hubby Kar once told me this. He said girls who got into relationships during high school is very likely to stuck in the old shell forever. Unfortunately I fall into that category too. I always have that high school student look even up till today.



This picture was taken 5 years ago when I just graduated from Cheras High School. I remember I lost 10 kg that time, but still having the Ah Lian hairstyle and the way of dressing.

One year later I went into MBS and got into my first relationship. The stress of handling both STPM and my 'always shaky' relationship just left me no energy to look pretty. Even if I wanted to, I am still stuck with the mind set of 'LALA fashion is nice'. In short, I was a total fashion victim.

Then I graduated from form 6 and spend my first 3 month of holiday at home trying to cope with the sudden change of lifestyle. I broke off my ex-boyfriend and try to live a new life. So I decided to make myself look prettier, just to prove that I am still attractive and all.. So I handed over my hair to the stylist and TaDa... What a hair cut.. I got stuck with it for almost a month looking like my mom.

After taking the short break, I went to work in a kindergarten. I led the children's morning exercise and I kept thinking that I'd lose some weight, but what I didn't realize was I was eating 7 meals a day. I look like a crappy Ah Sam and even when I am outside the kindergarten, people called me auntie, one of them was an old lady.

After leaving the kindergarten, I was on my way to entering college, so I had to slim down. And I realize how much I miss playing with make ups. So I'd put on some for special occasions, as my make up is not a common thing to do in family (even though 6 out of 7 of my family members are females).



Still... the high school feeling of is still there.

The first month after entering college, I met the most important person i my life, my hubby. So I started to make myself look better because I wanted to send him some nice picture of me... =P

Meanwhile.. I worked in events and exhibitions. So I started to make up more often.
** Big part was because I was going to see Kar after work.. =P



But after not long.. the high school 'mui mui zhai' came back into the picture again.



I've tried many things to kick of the 'kolot' side of me.. even straighten my hair. Unfortunately I look more Ah Lian this way.

This year, I bought myself some new clothes (following the advise of my fashion consultant - Kar) so that I can look more trendy. And I've started experiment with different kinda make up method.

And after long long long long experiment... I've found the best way to kill the mui mui zhai...
FAKE EYELASHES!!!

Of course with the help of Photoshop... =)
Finally, I look like a women now... HAHAHAHA...
