Until now, I still cannot quite get over what I saw last week. She’s used to be my primary school classmate and was considered a pretty girl then. Even during varsity, she was quite a head turner. But not anymore.
Her dressing is still hip no doubt but she definitely look a lot haggard though I could still recognise her. In fact, I can’t find the exact words to describe her looks right now except that she’s vastly different. Even my husband was surprised to learn that she’s my age.
And to think that I used to dismiss comments from people I meet from my past that I look the same. I never believe them and thought they were just patronising me. But after what I’ve seen last week, I think I’m beginning to appreciate these comments more. I think beyond the eyebags, the fine lines and some spots, I am still very much recognisable to people who have seen me when I was 10.
So more power to my facial care regime for sure. I want to age gracefully. Pleeaassee!
You are definitely looking splendid at your age! That’s why I still stress it’s impt to have some me-time to continue to look ‘normal’ even with a hectic job schedule and kids.
DR: Not so splendid lah. Not fishing for a compliment…though my features have grown older, but at least pple from my past wouldn’t express shock at my current appearance…

for most women, those *lines* appearing on the face are stress-induced. must find some way to work on the root of the problem..
Jes: Yikes! I’m always quite stressed…

you are definitely chic in my opinion and very well-maintained from your other beauty blog! and I always believe grooming does not end when one gets married or have kids. Must maintain!
msff: Yup, must maintain. I wish I can put in more effort on my body though…

I never believed it when people told me I looked young either, but when I run into people I graduated with? OH MY! I know I look younger than a lot of them. It’s a good feeling, isn’t it??
BBM: Yes, it’s always nice to be told so…

your lips remind me of my girls’. simply bootylicious! you know happy people are beautiful and the happy people are, the younger they look.
Belle: Wa, remind you of your girls? Haha…that’s a nice compliment. But yes, being relax and happy can improve looks as well.
