I’m a Standout in Life

Comments (9) Sponsored Post

I’ve always been a believer in doing what you’re passionate about,
expressing yourself how it bubbles out of you best,
dressing how you feel for the day,
and brave from being a typical stereotype.

If you hate your job and want to be a DJ, why not?

If you feel like you want to dye your hair blue, why not?
The thing is… a lot of people don’t realise that nothing is really holding them back.

Except fear.
Fear of what?
Failure?

Best you could do then is shrug it off and go, “Well, at least i tried!” and move on to trying something else!

People said a kiddy-themed party like Cat Got Your Tongue may be too childish
But we said, ‘Screw you!’ and did it anyway
Now we do it once every two months at Zouk.

Some people said it’s too hard being a DJ and takes a lot of practice

Sarah Chan and i agreed,
But who said you had to be a real DJ to play the music you adore at a party?
We ended up starting SalahWrong for fun and have since played at Palate Palette, Cloth & Clef, Zouk and even Johore (haha)

Someone told me girls shouldn’t be bald when i did so last December

I got all sorts of comments and stares from people when i walked around
But i never regretted it
Not even for a second

Some people thought a local fashion blog would be a great idea
And some said it would take money, too much work, bla bla bla

Nothing comes free
Luckily Adrian Yap of Freeform believed in the idea the moment he heard it
And took me in to the Freeform family to start Tongue in Chic up
In the span of less than a year we’ve garnered clients like
LG, Rimmel, Levi’s, Bulgari, adidas, and Dior, to name a few

Many are afraid of being labeled as ‘different’, ‘weird’ or ‘strange’ when they want to try new things
So what?
If anything, i think you should never be afraid of standing out
Because when you are rid of that fear, the potential to do things you’re capable of is greater.

Nuffnang and Tiger have come together to create a moment where everyone is encouraged to standout in life at the Standout ยญ With Tiger & Nuffnang Party, where everyone is outstanding in their own way.

To get a pair of invites, blog on what a standout you are in life,

    Loved the post… and some points you made really hit notes.
    I’ll be graduating soon… which means career choices and whatnot!
    Will probably end up going down the conventional path though- fear of failure, fear of disappointing the parents, fear of the unknown or just fear that grass always seems greener on the other side… I really don’t know. :S

    Good post! I plan to move into this stuff after Iโ€™m done with school, as most of it is time consuming. Itโ€™s a great post to reference back to. My blog needs more time to gain in popularity anyway.

  8. This is great! It really shows me where to expand my blog. I think that sometime in the future I might try to write a book to go along with my blog, but we will seeโ€ฆGood post with useful tips and ideas
