In the mood for Spending Money

Ok ok, i admit it. these few days i really vexed all my unhappiness by spending $ . (something i would not nomally do). imagine spending $500 in these past 3 days.

one thing good (shall i say so), is that more than 10% goes into buying of Chirstmas card materials (fanciful paper, carft punches).

had been staying up past midnights these few days just to do 10 chirstmas cards. Arghh, I almost swear i am not going to DIY Christmas cards again. Buying the normal chirstmas cards are much cheaper and time-saving
No time to study SAT test. Next sat leh.......... and i still have abt 30 christmas cards to do.

I need more time........


Anyway, today went to Sentosa Palawan beach. Thought the Xtreme Sport carnival there very "happening" Turn out to be just a few small tents.

Ok lor, we took a short monorail ride. realised that the names of the monorail train stations had changed.
just one month hadn't visit sentosa, yet saw so many new construction going on.......

After the Sentosa trip, went to Heng Hainanese restaurant for lunch. Then play pool, then go Bishan for KTV. In between, also bought a CD and a bracelet.

Had to tell myself I deserved all these.

cars

28 Nov 2003 (Fri)

6 gals in a small car.

5 female colleagues and I went out to town for lunch to celebrate a colleague’s b’day.
All of us squeezed into a small old Subaru. Keke, as Franc – the one who drives put in: fat one sit in front, the ones sit behind. I was among the four “thin ones’ to squeeze in the backseat. Hmm should I be happy that I belong to the ‘thin” category, or be unhappy cos I had to squeeze?

Well, we can get very rowdy inside the car, especially when other drivers wanted to cut in our land.

Scenerio 1 : Our car was at a turning point when another bigger car (actually more than 95% of the car on the road are bigger than our car) wanted to cut it.

Franc (female driver) , asking for fun: “ Should I let him.”

Other colleagues: “ NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ”

Hmm thought there was a “rule” -- small car scared big car, so small car often had to give way to big car.

Scenerio 2: At Scotts Rd, we were at the rightest lane waiting to turn right. Suddenly, a Lexus (I think) wanted to cut in from our left. Note: inside that car were young, high ranking military man (in their Air force uniforms)

Franc (asking for fun again): You think should I let him.

Other colleagues: “NOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Franc forwarded the car a few inches, then say “But they military men leh”

DJG (front seat passenger): “ So what?”

Franc: “But think they got crab, star, and lobster leh (refer to their ranks)”

Then my other colleagues sitting in back seat start turning to look at them “I see! I see!”

“Aiyah two crabs only”.

“Anyway, we are on the land. Air force soldier not biggest here.”

Then Franc suggested to DJG “ Later you glare (diao3) at them.”

“Wooo WOA Wooo!” shouting & cheers from the backseat passengers.

Hai… guessed we were so rowdy that other drivers can hear us even the car windows were winded up…..


29 Nov (Sat).
Hai... today so busy and rushing here an there, running errands. So busy until at 4pm, my stomach was growling , then I realised I didn’t had lunch and breakfast.

Early afternoon, while taking a cab from Thomson to Yishun (rushing for time), don’t know why the taxi had to pass by Sembawang area.
At first, I found the area so familiar. Then realization struck me, which make me feel sad. It was the area where T had once drove me there before, to return his rented car on 2 May this year.

The cab passed by that Chan’s Rental--- that was the place he always rent his car from….

Passed by MacDonald’s ---that was where T stopped for a while as we walked out from the car rental shop to go and have our breakfast. Can still recall T asking me if I want to eat Mac or Prata then.

The cab then drove pass A & Z Muslim restaurant --- I recognized it as the coffeeshop where T and I had our pratas (for breakfast) on that day.

I really don’t today’s sighting is fated…. Normally I don’t pass by that area. The first time was on that day, where T took me along to return the car. Still remembered he pointed out to me his army camp in that area….
Since that day, I never got the chance to pass by that area. Until today…….

Why?…………………….

events over the past few days

Sun 23 Nov

Truely enjoyed today's hip hop lessons. Even my colleague had the same feeling. The teacher was rather "high" today,after teaching us the dance steps, he suddenly shouted " Let's battle!"
He divided the class into two groups, and join us (the group with more newcomers) and told us not to make him "lose face"

Seems like the teacher like that song -- "Me against the music" by Britney and Madonna so much that he used it from the previous lesson we attended til now.
Now my head is drilling with that song.
Arghhh. I am against that music. (playing ard with words again)

*****************************
Mon 24 Nov

Tired.............

Was involved in a big photoshoot. Had to go down to a photostudio to help out with the shoot (chinese new year theme, 3 different looks).

Really didn't expected the shoot to last from morning til 5pm. Well I am not complaining, as It was quite fun to help coordinating the interior shoots. Me & my other colleague liked some of the props borrowed so much that we were tempted to buy them too.

What really impressed us was that the stylist's professionalism-- although she was five months pregnant, she was often walking around, and checking things to make sure they are alright.

Think I better buck up on my sketching. Today I wasn't prepared. As the photographer told us their company had start using the digital camera, we won't have polaroids to refered to when we are writing captions. So , me as a coordinator had to sketch out the setting of each pictures he took.
Oh my god! I can't draw straight lines very well and yet had to draw pics of chairs, tables, glasses.
My colleague was saying my sketches were rather detailed. Phew! At least they knew what I was drawing.

In the evening, another colleague joined out gang for the jazz dance lesson. She also had the same problem we experienced-- too much turning, head became dizzy.

****************************************
Tue 25 Nov

My sis boyfriend came over our house today.
Well, it was actually my mum ( not on taking terms with my sis), asked my brother to ask my sister to ask her friend ( which she knew is her boyfriend) to come and help to look at her ( my mum's) computer.

The old computered was given my aunt, taken from her company which ahd folded down. My mum wanted to upgrade the computer to Win98, install chinese programmes and want to see if can also atatched a scanner and printer.

So my poor sis bf had to come down and do all these, when he still got an exam paper this week.

Boh pian mah, had to try to please the future-mother-in-law.

But my mum didn't acknowledged him. She told my brother to serve the drinks to that "gor gor" (not "sis's bf").

Turned out the computer was a lousy Pentium R. He formated the Win95, but then found that he can't installed Win 98. So he and my sis when to Sin Ming to check out printer and scanner and speaker first, and returned to our house ard 10pm at night and had to took the CPU back to his house to redo.

***************************
Wed 26 Nov

Guess my mind is not functioning properly, maybe due to seeing all those Chinese New Year props meant to be featured in our magazine when the rest of Singaporeans are in christmas mood.

This morning, saw a colleague wore a new pretty pink set of bangles. I wanted to ask her " Did you get them from Little India?", but ended up asking her "Did u get them from CHINATOWN?" instead.

Needless to say, my statement was the joke-of-the-day.......

Another incident really left me wondering if I am lack of self confidence. My colleague (the one who used to work as fashion designer and illustrator) walked past my table and saw my sketches of the interior shoots. She commented that I drew quite well, but upon hearing my response that "my drawing very bad, I can't even draw straight lines.", she said: "Come on lah, be sure of yourself".

I knew she was't the type who lavish hypocritical praises on people as once she said that I am frank and truthful (as I told her which were her works I like and which were those that I don't) unlike those "very fake people" who always say "Oooooh, I like your blah blah blah".

I looked at my sketch, but still find them unsatisfactory. Either I lack of self-confidence, or I expected too much from myself..........

Still can't figure out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evening, on the way home, I start tearing again when I thought of "him".......
Maybe some people are so hard-to-forget.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sis's bf dropped by at night, to settle my mum's computer. Mum was like bullying him. Even after he had bought the chinese programs CD-Rom for her, she asked him if he had any CD-Rom that teaches people to use HanYu PinYin, because she don't know hanyu pinyin to type the chinese characters. Of course his response to her absurb question was "huh?"

Alamak, Ma arh, dun 得寸进尺(de2 cun4 jin4 chi3). People already spent two days doing your computer liao.

She even pretended to come out of the living room and read newspapers when he and my sis were at the living room sorting out her old computer.

Please lah, u think you come out and they won't sit side by side together meh. When they go out, they still can do whatever they like.

Maybe it is a blessing that both my exes don't have to go through this. & It's ironic that both of them majored in IT.....

my 3 "first time". 我的三个"第一次"

Today office rather happening.....

First Time traveling in a van
During Lunch hour, a whole gang of colleagues suggested going to Little India to have Thosai. as we (9 of us) were the last batch to leave the office, another colleague, a female volunteered to give us a lift on her Van. (woah). Big Van leh.
Guess the other drivers on the road find it unusual to see all gals sitting in a van and somemore the van was driven by a female, that some of them even tailgate us to take a closer look.

Damn those chee koh peks.

No wonder one of my colleagues was joking if the other drivers were thinking if we are driven off "for sale".

***********************************

My First Thosai

After living in the multi-racial society for more than 2 decade, this is the first time I ever step into Tekka market & have my first Thosai.
Had eaten prata before, but not Thosai.

Went to this nice air-condition Ananda Bhavan ( might be wrong spelling) Thosai restaurant in Tekka Market.
My colleagues had to explain to me what type of Masala Thosai they have and helped me to take my orders.*so Paiseh*.

Thosai was rather nice, even though I ate it plain without dipping it into the curry and the spicy sauce it comes with. Me, unable to take spicy stuff, was already feeling rather hot from the potata fillings inside the thosai.

and some colleagues still remember how my face turn so red at a farewell lunch at Dempsey for an ex-colleague last month.


" You still can remember huh? I thought I never complained" I asked

"Yah. cos yr face very red, & u are the only one who had ordered a cup of hot milk."

Morale of the story: Dun think u can escape even though u remain silent.

*********************************
My First Treading Experience


After lunch, a few colleagues were going to do threading in one of those shophouses, as in using thread to pluck off the fine hairs on yr face or to trim the eyebrows.

Being curious, the rest of us also go up to "look look see see", and ended up also doing it. Most of us trimed off the "small mustache" above our lips

I had asked the lady to pluck off the fine hair on my forehead and the area above upper lips. She warned that cos by baby hair on my forehead was too long at the right side, it would be very very painful and I can just leave it. Hence she only charged me $3 for the removal of hairs on above the upper lips even though she did remove the hairs on the forehead.

Had to admit it was a bit painful, just like when u go for eyebrow trimming at beauty counters/saloon.

$3 for the threading is rather worth it, cos i know some modern beauty saloon are offer threading for $30-$60.

失恋调解方

Only have time to post blog now. Well, last weekend was spent trying to use different methods to forgot abt heartbreak but to no avail.
Sat afternoon. Went to friend’s b-day high tea treat at Oriental Hotel. Hah, Thought by eating the good food can make one feel happier. However the food there was“so-so”. Lots of cakes, pastries, dumplings, siew mai…There were sushi, but they were as hard as rocks. The best food were the cakes which taste sinfully sweet.

Evening, met m best friend to go KTV to fa1 xie4 qing2 xu4. We only arrive a few mins past 7.30pm, yet the KTV hall was full, so no choice had to book room which cost $60 for two hours for 2 of us. At first, really tried to practice vocals by singing Sun Yanzi’s “ 我不难过wo3 bu4 nan2 guo4”, Karen Mok’s “爱Ai4”, Melody’s “爱多少 早知道ai4 duo1 shao3 zao3 zhi1 dao4”.

Then I dun care liao, throw in all the sad songs. Kelly Chen’s “记事本Ji4 Shi4 Ben2”, Zhou Chuan Xiong’s “黄昏Huang2 Hun1” (surprising that day can make my key low enuff to sing this guy’s song) , Sally Yeh’s “Shang1 shi4”, A*Mei’s “zhen1 shi2真实”, and that famous Candy Lo “Zhi4 shao3 zou3 de bi3 ni3 zao3至少走得比你早”.

In between, also add in two fast songs just for fun. “mei fei se wu眉飞色舞” and “Super Star”.

Ended the KTV session with MayDay’s “Wen1 Rou2温柔”. I was like really dun care liao, projected my voice higher than usual .. and the feeling was like…. Siok!

But when it came to a day… sian liao………………………..

*************************************
Sunday night…… Still can’t forget abt him.

只能 "跟踪记意 才能与你接近"

********************************

Yesterday (Mon) Started Jazz Dance lesson. Another colleague also joined in. The instructor was a friendly
black male. I really cannot tahan when I had to stretch my legs wide during the warm up exercises, cos I am very inflexible.

Compared to Hip Hop, jazz dance is more graceful. Somehow, Jazz really reminds me of ballet, especially when we had to line up two by two and do the turns and jump up high in the air.
Needless to say, while others (the Ang Mohs young girls) jumped high up effortlessly and gracefully, we jumped like elephants and were dizzy after doing a few turns. Was joking that our “Swan Lake” became “suan1(酸 ) leg” (aching feet)

We decided to gave Jazz a few more tries and do Hip Hop on Ac-hoc basis.

If I have the budget, I will definitely go for both lessons weekly.

******************
Arghhh, typing this and crying, y I'm so pathetic, y I'm so weak.

snippets here and there

1) Got bullied at work again. When there is trouble, ppl start covering there a**es. Not that I really want to use that word, it was the designer who said to me taht i have to learnt to cover that.

In summary, what happen was a freelance stylist got so upset after seeing the layout of her story. Too bad it had been sent for printing and we can't made the changes. She demand an explanation on y wasn't the file sent to her first before printing as she had requested earlier.

The fact was, when she first request it, I had check with " Designer A" and was told the file layout was not finalised yet. I did mention once it is done, i need to sent the file to writer for checking.

Yesterday, the writer sent the reminder again, so this time i checked, and was shocked to find out that file was already sent for printing. only designer B was there and she claim she did not know anything abt it.
Today checked with designer A, she said she dunno I need to sent the file to writer. So now the blame was pushed to me that it was my fault that I didnt check with them again.

I had to admit that it was partly my fault that I did not check with them after a few days. But they are also at fault too, for sending out files without letting me know, yet the reason they push the blame to me was "you are the coordinator', it's yr job to coordinate between freelancer and us.

Oh yeah, so I am the coordinator, so y wasn't I inform when you all had sent the files.

At the end, i was given the advice by one of them: "next time u must learn to cover yr a**"

oh yeah, so u all always cover yr A**. if everyone one does that, who's repsonsible?

I went back to my desk, without arguing or defending myself, but in my heart, i was feeling very 委屈(wei3 qu1).

Stupid of me right, even after 2 years of working experience in my previous company, i still had not learnt the harshness in the working world.

Am I too naive and innocent?????????
**********************************

2) Guys, sorry to say that, but I think most guys lack of general knowledge when it come to beauty and health products.

They think that: all cream are the same, be it body firming treatment cream or hand lotion .

Why I said that leh, read on ...

Afternoon, when I was on the way leading our new art director (a male this time, and married one) the way to the petty cash counter, he first mention that the new magazine, Her World Body is a good buy, cos there were 2 free gifts which market value was worth more that the cost of the mag ($6). one was the bottle of GNC Vit C tablets, 100 tablets of 500mg each. Another was the Nivea firming treatment cream ( specially state here: not sample size), targeting at females who want to make their skin (especially the flabby areas) firmer and toner.

Then he asked me a question. " For Vit C tablets, do you suck it or swallow it"

Me thinking: Huh? Like that u dunno arh. Read the instructions on the bottle. Anyway, there is no much difference between sucking or chewing the tablets. it will be going to yr body's digestive system anyway?

he added on: Cos i was sucking this one and find it very sour, so dunno if the proper way was to swallow it.

Duh!!!!

Then one the way back, he told me he bought the magazine after seeing that we won't be getting a free copy of it ( we often got free magazines of our publications),and said the free gifts were worth it.
In my mind, I was wondering did he pass the free Nivea firming cream to his wife. Then he said, the cream was also good.

I was like "Huh? u used it?".

"yah. working in air-conditioned office makes my hands very dry. So I used it on my hand."

"but that one is firming cream, you know, not the hand lotion....." (alamak, attached with the magazine was a card already got this big card which read " Firming cream. Firms your skin contour,And a pic of a femal model showing her toned legs)

"is it. Oh, then I better give my wife......"

**********************************

Din't eat much these few days, cos my stomach was bloated with gas due to gastric problems, The food and snacks didn't seem appetising anymore. Dunno how to get rid of the "wind' in my body., was like burping now and then.

My colleagues thought I was joining them in their "dieting & weight loss regime" due to "peer pressure".

Just an update on their weight lost methods. The one who tried Cambridge diet had stopped it. It did work, she lost 5 pounds in 3 days, but she really can't take it anymore, cos the mind is not working . Her mind is always wandering off during that period. Maybe due to sudden drop in glucose level.

Others had bought boxes of this FANCL slimming drinks which claims to boost yr metabolism and aid u to lose weight.

Their lunch were light meals, and even when they eat Yong Dao Fu , they ate the Yong Dao Fu in plain soup, without rice or noodles.

Normally i ate and snacked a lot to keep my body warm during office hours. Now with all the gases in my stomach, i dun feel like eating even I was hungry. If it persists, I'll sure lose weight . no need to buy Fancl slimming drinks or Cambridge diet.

Now my collars bones seems like protuding....

**************************
If all goes on smoothly, my next year Chinese new year clothes will be designed by....... me.

Color: my fav.--- light purple
Type: Dress
Details: Sleeveless, slightly halter top.

:(

"我不愿放弃却要故意默默允许 我答应自己爱你的心 绝口不提.....
爱到了底 痛的是我的真心"

imagine how painful i was behind my parents in the car this morning, trying not to cry when my dad tuned in to the radio station and this Ronald Cheng song's "绝口不提 爱你" was aired.

feel so useless. no matter i keep telling myself to be strong. i will like tearing now and then at work.

"Thanks" that I had diarrhoea and gastric at work, which makes my body turn cold, i can get away from my colleagues suspicions that there was some other thing that made me cried. They all thought i was sick.

true i was ill, but the gastric pain can't compared to my heart pain.

i can't really work.. My mind wasn't there. Like yesterday, i din really noticed much taht my Chairman of my club wanted me to create a "yahoo group' ( must be "yahoo group). i was doing halfway thenn i recalled taht yahoo groups had some setting problems for those without yahoo account, so i switched to creating "MSN group" instead, thinking that the main purpose is to create an online group, so any website provider doesn't matters.

To my surprised, my chairman sms me that next time I made changes like that must inform him first, and that is as a form of respect , though he meant that as a friend, not as a chairman.
Yah , i got upset, cos it was my fault. Simple instructions I can't follow.

Even today, at my office, I copied a file which i took a whole morning to type out and had delete it the next second when my mind was wandering off......

Dunno y this time it hurts more. I used to think once u had a heartbreak, you might have immunity, at least it won't hurt so much the second time. Yah in Feb i had my first heart break. This time, the feeling was like you were falling, then someone reached out to save you, but then he let go of you and you went crashing down......

心碎了无痕

If only emotions can be used to expressed what I am feeling now, it will be :
:( :( :( :( :( :( :(

If I had to choose some songs to heard now, it would be Jacky Cheung "心碎了无痕" (xin1 sui4 liao3 wu2 hen1) and Kelly Chen's "记事本" ji4 shi4 ben3", especially that verses:

等你等太久,想你泪会流, 而幸福快乐是什么

爱得痛了,痛得哭了,哭得累了日记本里页页执着 记载着你的好........
i dun even bother to translate them........

Posting for 8 Nov 2003, Sat

Ok. Can only write this entry now as i just got back from an ex-colleague's wedding dinner Held @ Yunnan garden Restaurant in IMM.

Though he left my previous company where i was working b4 I left, he still invited us, the "lunch gang colleagues". Kind of glad to see the familiar faces again. of cos, his "brothers" are all from our previous company.

I was the first from our table to arrive even though it was 5 mins past seven, and was asked "y are you here so early". So decided to walked ard IMM first and bought the FiRST movie magazine for my brother (as he wanted the Matrix poster).

Well... my ex-colleague told me that another from our "lunch gang colleagues" is going to hold his wedding dinner in January next year. kind of sad because one of his family members passed away, so he had to get married within 100 days or wait 3 years later. Anyway, that makes the 3 "brothers' getting married in 3 consecutive months. One in Nov (today), one on 31 Dec and one in Jan 04.

We were rather surprised that both bridegoom and the bride were rather sporting as they belong the quiet, "guai guai" type. They were willing being "takan" from two tables .

From our table, when the roasted chicken is being served, the bridegroom's "brothers" put the chicken head, chicken breast and chicken backside onto 3 plates. The plates were covered and the couple had to choose one. If they choose head, meaning bridegroom had to kissed the bride's cheek, choose chicken backside, had to kissed her buttocks and choose chicken breast meaning that he had to kiss her... (u know where)..

Well, the plate they choosed turned out to be chicken's backside (at least it is better than the chicken breast), so the bride had to climbed up and stand on the chair (while managing her flowing gown), and the groom had to kissed her butt as long as the whole table shouted "Yum Seng".

The neighbouring table came up with something cheeky. They set aside a bowl of noodles, made the couple stand on two chairs, one of the guest feed them with a strand of noodle each time. The idea is to make both the bride and the bridegroom eat from the two ends of the noodle, so that when they reached the middle, they would kissed when breaking of the noodle. Haha, the curious kids from other tables came to that table and their mothers had to pull them away, saying "小孩子不可以看" ("Not suitable for kids to watch")

Lesson learnt : As my ex-colleague who is the first to get married last year put it, the earlier u get married, the better it is, cos yr gang won't "tekan" you, cos they afraid when they get married, you will seek "revenge" and "tekan" them back.

Yah, noticed that those who gave ideas to "tekan" the bride & bridegroom" are those who were already married & hence need not afraid of people wanting "revenge".

Hmm, shall see how they going to "tekan" the ex-colleagues who will be getting holding their wedding dinners soon.

******************

Snippets: for those interested to know what the bride wore, hmmm think she like roses a lot. Her white wedding gown had a half-a-metre train and white satin flowers sewn around her waist at the front.
Her other gown was a strapless blue piece, a two piece suit which looked liked one whole dress , and had three blue roses sewn at her back, around the waist area.

First "Outing" & others

Well, today is the first time that officially "went on outing' during working hours. One of my colleague had congratulated me on "第一次出巡" (di4 yi1 ci4 chu1 xun2).

What i did in the afternoon was to bring one steamboat down to our designer's house for photoshoot. Don't think that taking pictures of steamboat is so easy. I was taken aback when I stepped into her house and saw camera on tripod stand, screen and lighting all set up around the table, as I thought the photographer will be just shooting it with the camera in his hands. Also, they need to do some styling, like arranging the food on the plate , make the steamboat meal look colourful....For just a picture in the magazine, we took abt 2 hours and 7 shots to get the final picture that we wanted.

One thing good abt "going out" for official matters is that if the event ends eark but too late for you to go back office and resume working, you can leave home early from that place. However, if it ends late, you will not be paid for the OT.

My cooleague told me that if I am not too busy on next Monday, I can join her for the photoshoot of a famous tailer's house.

*****************************************
Rollerblading
Sigh! My colleagues were going East Coast Park to roller blade after work, and i can't join them ( i want to practise what i had learnt a month ago) due to my Tuition commitment.

Also some of them don't want me to go, cos they afraid I might fall and aggravate my old injury again. Guess ever since they saw me trembling in pain at office, they don't dare to take the risks. I insisted that I will wear protective guards & will be more careful, but some shakes their heads and commented that i was stubborn. :( (yah, I know that actually they are just worried and concern for me lah)

Since I am still keen to learn rollerblading, then they shouldn't stop someone who is so determined to learn new things mah.
**************************************

seems like i might be switching from hip hop lessons to Jazz(dance) lessons. My colleague was thinking Hip hop is not suitable for her, hence was thinking out switching to Jazz lessons, which is on Monday evening.

For me, i still find Hip Hop lessons interesting,but if she switch, I switch lor.

The weighty issue

Guess what? Almost all the girls from my department had decided to lose weight and had started dieting today.

Actually not all of them are fat. There is one who is not fat as in the roly-poly size. She is like of L size but curvy and proportionate. While the rest are slim, but they complain that they got tummies, fat arms, so they want to lose weight. Target --- to lose 5kg in a month.

Can you believe it?

One who had stopped taking Extrim pills, was drinking this Cambridge Diet (which taste yucky) while the rest were munching on our burgers at Mos Burger during lunch time. Another two had started on this “fish & no red meat” diet (so they could only eat fish burger at Mos), then later decided to change to “no carbo(hydrate)” diet, which means they are not going to take rice, noodles , bread or other starchy stuff like potatoes. Others cut back on their food intake. So seems like from tomorrow onwards, we can only go to canteens which have stalls serving fruits and vegetables.

Basically, I guess this is like “peer pressure”. Once a person from yr gang determined to lose weight, you also feel that you might become fatter while she become thinner, so you also want to lose weight, no matter how slim you already are.

Like what they say: “Ask a slim lady whether is she satisfied with her weight, she will always tells you ‘I hope to lose a few more kilos’. “

One point to note, I was flipping through this Melbourne Wedding Magazine last Sat, and notice that the models are curvier, (but not fat). Compared to them, the Singaporean models featured in our local magazine are having “stick-like arms”.

So, blame it on the media for featuring skinny girls, and the ever-popping sliming centers or sliming pills advertisements?

Or blame it on guys….:P

***********************************
Arms and shoulders still painful from Sunday hip hop. Dunno why always experience muscleaches on Mondays after a nite sleep.
