Throwback Then & Now

then & now (no make up)

A friend chatted with me this morning, asking me how long ago was this picture taken (the one with the cats). Took me a bit to start up the old brain in the morning as I sat thinking and realised that picture was taken 12 years ago when I was studying in Melbourne. It was taken with a webcam and dam, you young people these days have all the technology luxuries we oldies can't have. Back in my hey days, there's no smart phone with cameras. Heck digital camera just came about and it was bloody expensive. International students like us relied heavily on calling cards and borrowing each other's web camera (low resolution junks) to get connected back home AND HOME that time had really bad connection so it was laggy and crappy.

did I just press restart on the game of life

Anyway the picture of me reminded me of the how I was awfully unhappy in Melbourne. It's something I buried away deep in my memory so it took me a while to remember that I once had bangs a.k.a fringe (cut them myself) and the now me, look exactly the same which is scary. Albeit, I look nerdier, innocent and slimmer back then compared to the now me. So today, look back at your pictures 10 years ago, compared it to now - what has changed? did skincare or lifestyle changes affect the way you look then and now?. Tell me what you think if you're not too old to press comment.

I guess, I've come a long way to be who I am now and without all these experiences, I wouldn't be the same person you're talking to. Heck I wouldn't be a blogger even so here's to life *cheers*.
