This week’s Star Blog topic:
I look into the mirror — and what do I see?
Well, I see what I see. I see a face staring back at me. And I decide to camwhore.
I considered being all philosophical about it and talking about the stuff beyond the skin. But there’s so much stuff beyond the skin that I could write a book about it.
So I finally decided to just take a lot of photos and talk about camwhoring.
Camwhoring is indeed an art form…
Question: What exactly is “economical” rice? I see those stalls at the hawker centres and wonder, how is it “economical”??
@abraxis: ya, it used to be economical. Nowadays it is more like extortion rice
@sheylara: Many photos but not much variety leh. I was hoping to see more expressions and different cute dresses.
abraxis: haha art form, that’s a good one. But there’s some truth in there. Um, economical rice is quite economical lah. It’s one of the cheapest fulfilling meals you can get in Singapore (I mean if you’re eating out.)
tiger4: These were all taken by myself within 2 days leh. For cute dress photos, I have to arrange professional photoshoot… which I have no time to. Haha. :P
And I don’t get why people always want to see more expressions. The purpose of camwhore photographs is to bring a smile to people’s faces and not scare people silly with weird expressions.
You don’t see celebrities make all kinds of funny expressions when they do photoshoots! They all just give their best smile or look.
@Sheylara: That’s the reason why the more we need to see a celebrity (aka you) show some funny faces. Everyone put up their best side and smile, after a while it becomes so boring. Dun have to be weird expressions, some cute “tongue sticking out doing the V sign” expression is quite refreshing sometimes. :P
Like those 五连拍.
Dowan lah, I already have enough people accusing me of acting cute. With tongue and V sign it’s gonna be worse. Haha. :P
Continued from Stomp:
Sheylara, I hate to see you reduce yourself to the level of “bimbo” to achieve your goals. The only difference between the Sheylara who writes on her blog and the Sheylara who is in feature films is the way she thinks about it. If you think that being a “bimbo” and “camera whoring” is the path that will guide you in the direction of your goal, then you are misguided. Align yourself correctly and will get you what you need.
Yoiyoiii made a very good point about addition that applies to everything. It’s not the substance you are addicted to, it the pleasurable result the substance gives you.
This applies to everything we do in life. I doubt the “bimbo” and “camera whoring” give you what you need. They only give you what you want. And what you want is clouded by what you think you need. And that is ego.
If you free yourself from what is in the mirror and know that you are not that reflection, but you are the person observing that reflection, then you will begin to see the truth that all of life’s problems, obstacles, road blocks stem from within. Overcome what is within and you break all the bonds that keep hold you back.
You are not that reflection. You are not that image in the pictures. You ARE the talents and feelings that make Sheylara. Searching outwardly for issues that are inwardly will result in only wasted time.
Time to put those past 10 years in the past and live in this moment. Now is what matters. Not that person in the mirror. The person who is observing you in the mirror is the only one that can reach the goals you have set.
Is there a reason to post this here? I already replied you in Stomp.
No, you can remove it :)

Hmm…based on what I’ve seen, like Tiger4 writes, Economical Rice doesn’t seem economical; seems more like market rate rice.
I usually hit the wantanmee stand at Bugis, behind the OG or the beef noodle stand at Seah Lim Food Center if I want a cheapie meal. I’ll take a closer look at “economical rice” next visit and investigate how it’s considered “economical”…
I think that you should continue what you like to do…it is not easy to find something fun for yourself to.
souvenirs: Thank you for your kind words! Much appreciated! But what’s with the Tony Leung reference?
abraxis: Hmm… but wantan mee not as filling as economical rice leh. :P
Aaron: Thank you muchly! It’s very heartening to know there are people who support what I do. :)
