{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: HARBOUR

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: HARBOUR



Whenever I look at the gigantic ships parked peacefully at the harbor, I can't help but let my mind wander: where are these ships from, what journey have they gone through, where are they going to next, etc...They remind me of what my dad told me when I was young: "life is like the a ship on the ocean. There will be days with blue skies and beautiful sunshine, there will also be days with lightning and thunderstorms. If the ship keeps sailing, eventually it will arrive at the destination". After more than 10 years living away from home, all by myself, now I understand completely what he said and feel what he felt.

Life is never meant to be easy, it's meant to be lived. Sometimes it's tough, other times it's good. With every obstacles I've gone through, I learned my lessons to make me become stronger and stronger every day. There were times when I was so frustrated with the situation, I kept asking myself a question that has no answer: "Why are there so many troubles that I need to deal with?". But if God was to ask me "Would you want to be a girl who always depends on other people, and has no survival instinct?", the answer would always be No.

I'd love to live my life like a ship on the sea. A ship that faces many storms on the ocean, but still bravely sails through, never giving up. A ship that knows how to enjoy its journey and appreciates every beautiful day it has. Then, I imagined myself as a captain on board. 

Once arrived at the destination, I would totally change my captain's uniform into this crop-top, floral midi skirt, put on my favorite pair of stilettos and start dancing.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: GLITTER GOLD

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: GLITTER GOLD



Being born with a huge passion for dancing and singing in my blood, I've never stopped myself from getting up to the stage to perform whenever I have a chance. My first singing performance was when I was at six years old. My mom bought me a very expensive sequin dress just for that occasion. She wanted me to be the star of the night. Since then, I've become addicted to everything sparkling: the LED light, the sequin balls, and the shiny dance costumes. I'm so obsessed with the kaleidoscopic crystals that I even used nearly 3000 pieces of Swarovski crystals to decorate my dance costume. I filmed the entire process in this video "How to make a dance costume from a simple leotard" in case you want to watch. I know; it sounds insane, but the amount of happiness that the glittery costume brings to me every time I look at it, it's worth it. 

Fast forward 20 years later, a small little girl has now become a big girl in a small world. She still loves dancing, but hardly has the opportunities to perform like she used to. She has a bigger stage to play with now: the stage of life. But, no matter how old she gets, her love for all the glittery, shiny things and her passion will always remain the same. 

If life doesn't give you a stage to perform, create one for yourself. Just like how I stayed at home on Saturday night, set up the gold glitter curtain as the backdrop, and used the camera self-timer to finish this photo shoot of my outfit by myself at 2am.

 The hall way instantly became a runway, and I felt like I was center stage in my neon sleeves cropped top, ruffle skirt and bad-ass gladiator booties.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: THE RED ROSE

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: THE RED ROSE



Another day, another way of wearing floral dress. If you have followed my blog long enough, you probably know that I'm a true flower lover and a hopeless romantic, especially when it comes to red roses. I would be lying if I said I did not like to receive a rose for my birthday, Valentine's Day, or better yet, for no reason. Who could resist a guy who buys roses for his girlfriend every now and then? I know I couldn't. Even if I didn't love the guy at first, I could probably fall in love with him if he did that to me once every month. Ok, fine! Maybe, once every few months. 

I used to buy roses from the wet market to decorate my house in the morning. That's the time when the roses look freshest and most beautiful. I love how it instantly brightened my whole living room, and of course my mood. The sweet smell lingered in the air, around the house, it gave me a sense of love and being loved. 

Sadly, I don't buy roses as often as I used to because I hardly stay at home, but my love for the beautiful red roses has never changed. As you can tell, even though I don't have the real roses in my hands, I must make sure to have them printed on my dress.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: DAYDREAMER

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: DAYDREAMER




On the busiest day of the week, meetings after meetings, having a quiet moment by myself on the overhead bridge was such a pleasant and sweet surprise. While taking the air from one end of the bridge to the other, I suddenly felt like escaping this reality, running into a wonderland where I would be surrounded by breathtaking scenery, beautiful blooms, stunning fountains, and the sound of nature. Everyone looked happy there. There was no room for stress, worry and sadness in this place. Only love, laughter and care. 

A sudden car horn woke me up and forced me out of my dream. I looked at the crowded road under the bridge where I was standing, all types of vehicle came and went. Everyone was rushing to somewhere and busy doing something. A few thoughts crossed my mind: Where are they going? Where are they from? What is the story behind them? How is their life? Are they happy?
And then, I asked myself: “How am I different from them the moment I walk down this bridge and merge into this life flow?”, “When was the last time I stopped and smelled the roses?”. 

The honest answer scared me.

Like most people, I'm busy chasing my dreams, goals, and targets every single day, one after another. It will never end. I’m not different from the rest, but I’m lucky enough to have five minutes standing on that bridge, to soak in the sunshine, to enjoy the wind and to appreciate what I have in life. 

I guess; five minutes every day is all I need.

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: NEON IS THE NEW BLACK

{CRYSTAL'S CLOSET}: NEON IS THE NEW BLACK



Neon is such a strong and addictive color. This eye-catching hue is so powerful that it makes somebody who used to be anti-vibrant colors for many years become a crazy fan in such a short period of time. It was almost immediate when I tried on this striking pair of shoes, I realized neon color was not as scary as I thought. The intensity of brightness doesn't stop me from having fun, it makes me feel more energetic and happy instead. 

While some people think of neon color as an attention seeker, I would prefer to look at it as a motivational resource. It challenges you to be different, to stand out from the crowd and to feel comfortable in your own skin. It helps you to overcome your fear when all eyes are on you in public. It teaches you to relax, enjoy and be open to the new experiences. 

Besides, it brightens your day up when everything is gloomy. What's not to love neon?
