Started off my Christmas weekend with this precious group of people! :-) Our 4th staycation together in a tiny yet cozy airbnb in Tiong Bahru! It's really hard to gather all 11 of us throughout the year so I really appreciate when everyone takes time off to spend time with one another every Christmas :')

Q: How much are the eyelash extensions?

A: There's a range from $70-$140 and mine costs $110! Good news because they're having a 40% opening sale (yes!! even for eyelash extensions!)

Q: Are the eyelash extensions uncomfortable? How to do they feel on the eyes?

A: Wasn't during application at all - I almost fell asleep! It felt a little odd at the start because I can see the eyelashes in my vision (I used to have botak eyelashes so you can't blame me hahaha i don't know how it's like to have long eyelashes) -  but it's ok after a short while and I can barely feel that it's there after!! 

Q: Is it a hassle to maintain the eyelash extensions?

A: I would admit that it is! haha I have this super bad habit of rubbing my eyes so there were so many times I had to stop myself from doing so. Debbie also told me to avoid oil-based products (esp make up remover) which I don't use usually so it's fine :-) But besides that, for the convenience, it's so worth it!!! I can basically wake up looking like I have eyeliner and mascara on HAHAHA and that's skipping 2 steps of make up!!

Next Tuesday marks the end of yet another semester in Uni. The people around me would know that this semester has been, hm, how do I put it, special for me in the sense that it was a semester of me.. finding myself.

I am currently an Accountancy student - and why accounting? I was so lost after I got my A'level results, I didn't know what I wanted, I thought I had a passion for teaching so I applied for a teaching scholarship (and got it, but rejected it after) after considering about how I'll have to take Science in NUS.. (omg I can't imagine myself going down that path, it's so... not me).

Well after 1 year + 1 sem in Accounting, I'd have to admit that, well, Accounting is something that is definitely.. not me and not what I want to do. I chose it because it was a practical degree, a safe degree that will get me somewhere in the future but I never truly liked it. (This situation is so common amongst my friends haha sigh) I went ahead with choosing this degree because I'm someone who never dares to do something out of the norm, I like being safe. And this mindset caused me to struggle quite a bit in University. I know a lot of people are struggling too, but it was making me so unhappy and I really wanted to change that.

After talking to countless number of people (and well thank goodness, very supportive friends/family), I decided to make a decision to switch over to a Business degree specialising in Marketing next semester (I know, there's this certain stigma about a Marketing degree, I've heard more than enough!! haha) but I suppose I'll really enjoy myself a lot more in that degree and hopefully make a living out of it in the future. I also understand that I could continue on with my accounting degree (+ how useful this degree is) and switch to something else in the future but hey, why not start on something I like now then sticking to something that I know is obviously not for me? I really want to make the best out of my Uni life, I want to be doing something that I enjoy. I know I can't be 100% certain that I would do good in my new degree but hey, at least I'm following my heart for once, and I promised myself to give it my all.

I am scared, terrified actually. My closer friends would know how afraid I am and how much I doubt myself (doesn't help that I'm a super indecisive person) In fact, I still am. Taking this leap of faith and doing something out of my comfort zone really scares me, and I don't know what will happen in the future but I truly hope that I'll be happy :~)

I hope that when I look back at this post in a year's time I would be in a much happier place with no regrets :~) and p.s. hopefully at exchange too!! *fingers crossed*
