Growing Up ...............................................
"Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that".
Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that you were. Sometimes when I look back, I feel sad. Sad because life really passes by so damn quickly. I mean, think about it, just a few years ago, I was so happy being able to finally turn 16, because well.. that would mean I'd FINALLY be able to watch NC16 movies. Then came the rave about wanting to turn 18 because of M18 movies. Well, I can't believe that in a few months,I'll be 19. And next year, well.. I'll be 20. To be honest, I really miss being a kid. But I guess, growing up is all a process.
As we grow up, we go through alot of different stages in our lives. As for me, I went through the "Ah lian stage", "Emo stage", "Rock n roll chick stage". HAHA, so many different styles I tried to adopt. But I guess, growing is also a learning process. You learn who you are as a person, and you of course, learn along the way. I found some of these photos in my computer and boy was I sh0cked just looking at some of them.
..........................
My older brother and I, Omar. Boy do I look nothing like him right? hahah
That's me in the red dress and my 2 other cousins beside me. Behind us, is my dad. Even my dad looks different now! Well, older kinda different. haha
Ok, I'd call this the AH-LIAN stage of me. Back when, I used to take photos like THIS, and think I was oh so drop dead gorgeous. I wanna puke just looking at it now. HAHAH. I mean, I look like a freaking ghost man. HAHAH.
Wow this is worse. hahaha Mega act cute worhszzzh!!
Back when I had rebonded hair! :) It was a trend back in secondary school because almost EVERYONE had their hair rebonded, so I guess being a FOLLOWER back THEN(not anymore), I wanted to fit in the crowd too. hahah
Btw the photos I'm showing you now, were all during my NO-MAKE UP days. Hahah. I think makeup makes a difference man, seriously.
BRACES!!
Can you believe back when I posted this picture up in Friendster, there were many people praising it? even unknown strangers aka 'pervertic guys'. HAHA, but when I look at it, I think... "er... what's so nice about it?"
Ok, I like this picture of me! Skin looks so clean and smooth like a baby's backside. HAHA
Omg Melissa and I YEARS ago! I was a real tomboy la, the way I dressed. Me with my black spaghetti top, 3/4 khakis hanging loosely off my waist with my black studded belt. HAHA
This was the day, we had pink highlights added to our hair!
Honestly, my style has evolved so much man. Back then, I NEVER WORE DRESSES. LIKE, DRESSES WERE A COMPLETE NONO!
Me during my KC SCHOOL DAYS. I miss the UNIFORM ):
Ok, this was probably the only time I allowed myself to wear a dress. During Graduation lunch. Hahha. Now when I think about it, I wish I could have done my hair, makeup alot nicer, and picked a nicer dress. HAHA
Tina Nankani and I! :)
Back then, I wore black almost everyday. Like it was my wardrobe staple. Having tons of black clothing!
Oh yeah, to those who wanted to know what my room looked like before, it's like what you see in the picture above. But the picture above, was my room looking MUCH CLEANER. lol
During my snowcap days. I used to go everywhere with my snowcap! I still have it, and sometimes I wanna wear it, but then.. now.. it'sdifferent. Tryna match it with something I have in my wardrobe now is pretty difficult.
Back when I used to wear ARM SOCKS out. HAHA, gosh, wth is wrong with you Sofia? HAHHA.
Ok, I kinda like this old hairstyle of mine! This was before I discovered HAIRSPRAY. hahah, and this was after the AH-LIAN stage of course. After the rebonded hair days.
I have really lost weight over the years too. Look at how chubby my face was!
One of my old hairstyles!
This is by far the worst hairstyle I ever adopted. To those who've been constantly updating themselves with my formspring, you'd know that when people ask me what I did to my hair, I told you guys, there was a stage where I permed it right? Yeah, this IS the stage.
.............................. The little girl I once was, will forever be a part of who I am. The girl with the snow cap, the girl with the arm socks, no matter how many years later from now ,when I look back at it, that little girl will always be me. Life itself is so beautiful, human beings, they are beautiful. We live, love, laugh and we grow together. We experience the difficult times together, sorrow, joy, fun and laughter.
It's sad I admit, to grow old. But it's nice to ripen, and to discover who you really are as a person. And some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.
To anyone of you, who probably may have discovered your first wrinkle, look at how this person looks at it, "There is always a lot to be thankful for, if you take the time to look. For example, I'm sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt". ~Author Unknown
Always remember this, age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
