What are your 'real clothes'?
(Friday, January 15, 2010/11:12 PM)
Thanks to Jon Tan, a few of our CG peeps had the privilege of attending a high profile fashion event at Tangs Plaza! It's my first time attending such events and honestly, it's not really my kind of thing but nevertheless, it was a great experience.

A nice photo commemoration of our impromptu gathering, courtesy of Tangs photo-taking services! =PI kinda feel out of place tho', cos' most of the attendees were dressed to the nines, and I dressed quite casually (partly also cos' I didn't have a chance to change into something better since the gathering was decided when I was busy in school). As the gorgeous and hunky models paraded past us, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy but I remembered...
...watching this drama
...watching this dramaEntitled "Real Clothes", it touches on the issue on how fashion can change our lives and its importance and relevance in developing our self-esteem and exuding our unique personalities.
In society today, most people belong to 2 categories, nonchalant people who neglects fashion and disregards it, and arrogant people who wants to show off their superiority through fashion. Thankfully, most of my friends aren't like that. =P
Yet, this drama reminds us that although fashion aids us in discovering our self-identity, the core of our hearts is still the utmost important trigger. Through our own personality defined through the years, we develop our own unique fashion sense. Not the other way round! Fashion is merely a tool for you to express your individuality without the need for words.
I find it amazing how J-doramas always depict and emphasize a moral value at the end of it all. The plot may be running thin cos' the typical Japanese drama has only 11 episodes, but the simple messages of morals are almost always enough to impact the viewers.
Much more meaningful than the typical soapy romantic Korean drama which can NEVER happen in real life (I'm guilty of watching Princess Hours and BoF tho' =X), and slapstick cringe-worthy Taiwanese idol dramas which provide nothing but pure brainless entertainment.
No offence to peeps who like those dramas lol. =P I don't mean to generalize but most are like that, agreed? If you're feeling a little angry or guilty, then perhaps you should reflect on how you spend your time on leisure. =D Even leisure can play a part in molding us. Every moment in life is precious, and to quote Kris Allen's song "we gotta live like we're dying". =)
Sooo... back to topic, even if I didn't stand out in the crowd, I should still feel proud of myself cos' I'm pursuing my own unique fashion sense instead of following a trend or fitting myself into a standard mold. Yeah, the other attendees look glamorous and all, but they look the same. Cast envy aside and be your own unique you today! (^-^)
