The Look

I just miss KL so much. I know I like just went 4 days ago but I just feel 2 days really isn't enough to satisfy my pangs of hunger for 'lepaking'. I think I really need to get over this holiday mood that i'm still partially in. It's just shocking to think that i'm already into my third week of classes and to think there is only so little time left until my finals. Okay, apart from that, I just wanna express myself about something that's been buggin' me lately, so here goes:
Whoever said that looks aren't as important as what's inside is absolutely crapping ( I don't mean to sound distasteful, but bare with me). It is absolute bullsh*t. Beauty is just as important and sometimes more crucial than what's inside. In our materialistic world, nobody cares about how kind you are or how much charity you've done. It's all about how you project yourself. Not only is it about the clothes you wear, it's also about your hairstyle, your watch, your cellphone, what bag you use, which Nike collection you own, etc, etc. Beauty is no longer skin deep, it goes way further down than that.
I read this from an article, about the 3 second rule. That's about the time needed for one person to take a look at you and make a lasting impression about you, and this will be indelible unless you prove him or her wrong. Just imagine the amount of strangers you see each day and that totals up to a lot of first impressions made about you. It scares the crap outta me!!!
I mean, seriously, think about it: before a person even knows you, he already has this perception about you. Before you can even flash a smile at him/her, that person may have already think about you as some perverted creep!
Everything nowadays is all about The Look. If you don't got it, you'll be cast away like some outdated has-been. For example, at a job interview, people with good looks might have the upper hand compared to their unfortunate counterparts.
Fashion influences people a lot. However I don't feel it as much here as I am living in Penang and people here are not as better dressed as let's say, people from KL (thank goodness). But a word of advice to the fellow people, you don't have to always follow trends. Think of the amount of money you would have to spend if you were to update your wardrobe every new season. Know what you look good in and ask for others' opinions. Wear what you like as long as it suits the occasion and is decent enough. It's always better to be overdressed than get caught underdressed.
I'm kinda having a headache now, so if what I said does not make any sense to you, just scratch what I said from your thoughts. That's all.
