Immature, low-class neighbours are such a pain-in-the-ass, on top of spoiling my Sunday evening.

Good Friday weekend was spent on...
Dyeing my hair!!
Yipps! I finally got down to doing something to my hair, since i'm trying to restrain myself for at least another 2 months before i enter a salon, so in neeeeed of a haircut, but must patiently wait for it to grow.. sobx.
Tada!! Feng helped me. she's getting good i say, got compliments for it turning out quite even for a DIY job at home. Only cost me $11.30!
Ying said the color's only obvious under flash... blearghz. Actually my hair getting quite long le right..
Went out with Flo babe..

Okay i think i'm just making a fuss cos i wanna XX's LX3. I think it's quite dumb of her to go buy the cam since if she just asked, she'll prolly get sponsored for it anyway, given the number of readers who are going to read her latest entry and pull out their wallets for a new LX3.

I'm Fat - So What!
I think i should just face up to myself, after those past few days of crap from people. i AM bothered when people comment on my weight, or increasing weight. i am bothered when people look at me in a weird manner when i am out. i am bothered when my butt doesn't fully fit into the seat in the bus or MRT, some leftovers would crawl into the next seat. i am bothered when my clothes sometimes cost me more than the average girl. But i am going to stop beating myself up over it. in fact i have stopped since 2006, after the scare with my weight leading into depression. But i still let people's comments get to me, especially so-called concerned relatives who only see me less than 5x a year. actually it's only the relatives. my friends don't do that to me. my friends are bothered with the way they look sometimes themselves, but they dun give me shit for being fat. if they ever do judge me, which they don't, it's definitely not for the way i look. I cannot remember the last person amongst my relatives who made me feel it's okay to look the way i look. the last person who actually made me feel beautiful is sha babe, when i met her in 2006 and was on my way to self-healing recovery over my weight issues. she never once made me feel my weight is something to be considered, and she even gave me "You are beautiful" "You look fabulous" compliments. No one has any idea how much that kind of compliments mean to me. Because no matter what, i am a girl. i am vain, even if i am fat. i need to be assured by others too.
Hearing comments about my weight again from my cousin is really crap, esp the part when he thought i am gaining weight because i am taking it out on myself. it's like what the fuck. Budden none of them knows what i did last time whenever i hear those comments and i was stupid and didn't love myself then. Taking it out on myself? Now?Bull. I think they are still stuck in the time when i was 17 or 18, like i never grew up all these years. Never learn to love myself better. Actually their comments never change all these years. Self-image and physical beauty, i learned slowly, is a big thing in my families (both father and mother) and no one in these families ever make u feel beautiful for being plus-sized. No different from the kids at the playground or at school who jeer at TAF Club members. No one made u feel beautiful in these families other than yourself. So from 2006 on, i learned to love myself. took me that long but better late than never.
i'm fat - so what? I grew to learn that being extra large or small does not stop me from having my own personal style. i may not be able to fit in all the clothes in normal departmental stores. but i learned to look for clothes that flatter me and are pleasing to me. i learned to have my own style. in fact, i dress better than i did in those earlier uni days and even younger. i may be fatter now, but i look more great than those days when i was just occupied with how much i weigh.
I had no restrictions in finding what i wanna wear. So what if i cannot wear spag tops or figure hugging dresses? i found other avenues. Being fat also opened me to others who are like me and plus-size stores with clothes which are sometimes even nicer than the departmental stores who churned run-of-the-mill clothes with no style or personality.
I exercise now if only to keep me healthy. Not those punishing regimes in the past which i subject myself in a bid to lose that roll of fats. YES I EXERCISE. I MOVE ABOUT.
So i am fat, so what? Reading the thereupeutic articles about being plus-size in this society will teach me not to back down again the next time a relative makes those comments to me. I must really keep it in mind, to retort ON THE SPOT, and not miss the momentum by a few beats till it's too late.
I am a plus-size girl, but i love myself more than ever now.

"I have caught Tyra's spirit and I am also saying "So What!" I'm fat and so what! I am a beautiful, giving, caring wife and mother. My husband loves me the way I am and he finds me very attractive. So to anyone out there who thinks I should look better - so what! I weigh in 80-pounds heavier than when my husband and I married, but so what. After multiple health issues, childbirth, and thyroid problems I am lucky it is only 80 pounds and not more. I am tired of beating myself up over not being able to take off the extra weight regardless of trying everything under the sun to lose it. I'm tired and it's just not worth it anymore - so what. I dress well, my clothes all fit appropriately and even us plus-size women can wear attractive clothes. My thighs rub together when I walk and I have cellulite on my butt and thighs - so what! I can no longer go without wearing a bra as I was able to when my husband and I first got together but so what!
I'm tired of the fashion industry and society deciding for everyone what they feel is attractive and what isn't. I'm tired of people trying to run my life thinking that I would only be happy if I didn't carry the burden around of extra pounds. Losing weight and being thin does not equate to happiness. If you don't like yourself when you are overweight, you won't like yourself thin either."
Meghan McCain (John McCain's daughter)
"I have been teased about my weight and body figure since I was in middle school, and I decided a very long time ago to embrace what God gave me and live my life positively…. I am a size 8 and fluctuated up to a size 10 during the campaign. It’s ridiculous even to have this conversation because I am not overweight in the least and have a natural body weight.
But even if I were overweight, it would be ridiculous. I expected substantive criticism from conservative pundits for my views…. My intent was to generate discussion about the current problems facing the Republican Party. Unfortunately, even though Ingraham is more than 20 years older than I and has been a political pundit for longer, almost, than I have been alive, she responded in a form that was embarrassing to herself and to any woman listening to her radio program who was not a size 0.
In today’s society this is, unfortunately, predictable. Everyone from Jessica Simpson to Tyra Banks, Oprah and Hillary Clinton has fallen victim to this type of image-oriented bullying. Recent pictures of Pierce Brosnan’s wife, Keely Shaye Smith, on the beach in her bikini raised criticism about her weight and choice of bathing suit — as if the woman should be wearing a giant muumuu to swim in the ocean. After Kelly Clarkson’s recent appearance on “American Idol,” the first commentary I read on the Internet was about her weight gain instead of her singing.
My weight was consistently criticized throughout the campaign. Once someone even suggested I go to a plastic surgeon for liposuction. Afterward, I blogged about loving my body and suggested critics focus their insecurities about women’s bodies elsewhere. On the other side, my mother was constantly slammed for being too skinny, so the weight obsession of the media and our culture goes both ways. It also goes to both parties. Hillary Clinton has consistently received criticism for her pantsuits and figure. Whatever someone’s party, these criticisms are quite obviously both wrong and distracting from the larger issues at play.
The question remains: Why, after all this time and all the progress feminists have made, is weight still such an issue? And in Laura’s case, why in the world would a woman raise it? Today, taking shots at a woman’s weight has become one of the last frontiers in socially accepted prejudice."

iLike...
how ohsofickle writes so unabashedly and so hit-on-the-nail abt stuff sometimes. i was totally feelin' like crap today and my earlier 2 entries dun even begin to give vent to what i really feel inside, and her latest entry describes in essence what i wanna say, in the right words and tone.
"People who don't bother TRYING to put themselves into my shoes should seriously NOT comment at all because AS YOU CAN SEE, i've not been in the best mood lately and i really DO NOT wish to read all those comments.
....
But no, i still wish to lie to myself now. I don't wanna think about it. I wanna act as if that isn't happening....
So fuck man....i really am crying as i'm typing this because sometimes i really really wish people would stop thinking i'm a ......
I don't expect people to say nice and good things to me all the time but when people say untrue stuff, and act like they know it all.....it is fucking annoying and hurting because you guys JUST DONT KNOW."
Yup. Just get off my back already.
i'm off to indulge in something that'll make me happy. And hell no. it's not food. i already had my happy perk-me-up low carb 150cal 70cent vanilla cone today (like dunno in how many donkey ages since i had an ice). i have other make-me-happy things that don't involve food so there.

I Already Know
People on this side of the planet can be so superfluous. I met more than my fair share of people who can only appreciate the superficial side.
It should bother me no more. Seen enough. Heard enough. Actually it doesn't really already when the person dun matter to me much.
But i need to learn to come up with a clever comeback. Retort. On the spot. AND STOP CARING ABOUT THE IMAGE I'M GOING TO PRESENT, LET THE PERSON THINK THAT IT ACTUALLY BOTHERS ME AND PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MY OWN FEELINGS.
Like:
Can you please be more interesting than the 4plus million people on this side of the planet and say something newer? So boring to hear the same thing know? like nothing else interests u.
KNNB CCB. Noob.

I love Cactus at Marina Square!
It was an unexpected discovery whilst out shopping today. A very cool concept of renting out cubic spaces to budding entrepreneurs or blogshops or pushcarters, it operates like a roof over all these creative ideas.
Feng and I got a piece of something each from the shop. You should really check it out the next time u are at Marina Square, providing u don't already know about it before i post here. Oops. i can be such a lagger at knowing such places some times.
I'm loving my new vintage-ish, fantasy-ish earrings i got from there. And it led me to know about another accessory blogshop online. How cool is that??

my lappy is still. as a tombstone.
I accidentally emptied half my bottle of water all over the keypad yesterday, and being the ignoramus i am, i just blotted tissues and as it is working fine after, i thought it is fine...
about 1.5 hrs later, the keypad started going nuts on me when i was msn-ing my sisters.
I panicked. upon sisters' advice, took hairdryer to dry it till i had to go to bed. and i on-ed the fan the whole night to blow it.
I think my attempts to salvage came too late.
i nearly cannot log in this morning cos the keypad is going crazy. when i finally did, i dared not off it. however it is burning up and for fear of causing more problems, i just turned it off.
Yahoo! Answers told me on my office comp this morn that i must deal with it immediately when my laptop kena'ed the water. i was 1.5hrs late..
Sobs. i only hope it's still salvageable when i bring it to see doctor tonight at Wheelock.
Dear pristinely beautiful iBook, i solemnly promise not to drink in front of u again if u recover.

I thought i got over it. But no.. I over-estimated myself.
Even if i tell myself that i have let the incident go, but if i still feel hatred when i pass it by, does that mean i have let go?
My problem. I love intensely. Care too much. And unfortunately, i also hate longer than i imagine. Problem with being a idealistic girl living in a realistic society.
When will i learn?

Updates
Urgh... don't like feeling nothing-to-do-ish.. now the days are just made up of work, home, dinner, tv, sleep. Cos just too drained during the day by work to wanna do anything much other than stone in the evenings. Then weekends are sleep sleep sleep. i need like 10-12 hours sleep a day i swear, and since i don't get them on normal workdays, i just gotta snore my weekends away. Plus i really hate the crowds on weekends, so unless bo-bian, like working friends can only meet on sat, then sat will go out. But to date, i haven't been going out much at all, as everyone's busy busy busy.. so my weekends are spent half at work (when it's my turn for Soccer Club), and in the sack.
I really dunch like how routine my life has become, though I have no issues about being a zai nu, a homey gal. but NOT when i just eat, sleep and watch tv. Am so missing the time when i took the semester off then in uni and i had all the time in the world to daydream and explore my passions. I know i know time is what u make of it, but i'm just tired. I wanna those days when i feel i have all the time in the world and i can do what i like. Way tooo long since i indulged in my hobby of miniature toys, DIY-ing, colouring my pics, doodling or decorating my cosy corners.
Am gonna try to take time off once these upcoming 2 crazy weeks is over for MYSELF. Me-time, here i come!!
And really wanna go join the lyrical hip-hop class on sat! Shall not CHICKEN out again as i did on sat.. was unprepared la. the speed, but after standing there for a while and watching them, it doesn't look as bad as i thought it would be. Not as fast. Making a promise to myself to go challenge my own limits. All the yadda-yadda about i'm still young and all. and more yadda about me dancing like a duck. Shall overcome that!
I really really need to get into more action. Cos i'm becoming a BIGGER homey gal. Have learnt over the years to be comfy with my body shape, but hor, the numbers on the scale and the recent pictures showing the added weight on my body tells me to my face that I MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT least it affects my health. So trying to eat healthier. More soups. However i had already indulged in 2 fast-food meals the past week out of convenience and lateness of eating. I think tracking down my meals and listing them out as feng taught me would present the shocking reality of my diet to me. HEALTHY EATING!!! and of cos my health. The gastric attacks are beginning again. haiz.. ya yah, v hard to believe someone of my size having gastric attacks. But reality is as such.
Enuff of the depressing updating about my life. I GOTTA DO SOMETHING about the stale state of it. But it's MY Own Business. So i shall take my time and tackle it bit by bit, a step at a time. HEALTH FIRST!! Then ME-TIME!
Sooo i really wanna upload some more pics but the Internet Connection is going haywire on me again. Shall just upload a couple super-wuper cute toys i got on Sat!! i dun wanna waste more time waiting for the other pics to load. COS I NEED MY SLEEP! Anyway most of them are rather outdated. So wait till i take more fresher new pics! Till then, love yall! (those who are still good to me and love me back at least.. haha)
ta-da!
Wuper-cute Mr Bean...
Get them at any Mr Bean outlet! Proceeds will go to charity.. tho i dunno how much. Honestly, i bought them cos they are cute *sheepish grin*

Shall not CHICKEN out again as i did on sat.. was unprepared la. the speed, but after standing there for a while and watching them, it doesn't look as bad as i thought it would be. Not as fast. Making a promise to myself to go challenge my own limits. All the yadda-yadda about i'm still young and all. and more yadda about me dancing like a duck. Shall overcome that!
I really really need to get into more action. Cos i'm becoming a BIGGER homey gal. Have learnt over the years to be comfy with my body shape, but hor, the numbers on the scale and the recent pictures showing the added weight on my body tells me to my face that I MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT least it affects my health. So trying to eat healthier. More soups. However i had already indulged in 2 fast-food meals the past week out of convenience and lateness of eating. I think tracking down my meals and listing them out as feng taught me would present the shocking reality of my diet to me. HEALTHY EATING!!! and of cos my health. The gastric attacks are beginning again. haiz.. ya yah, v hard to believe someone of my size having gastric attacks. But reality is as such.
Enuff of the depressing updating about my life. I GOTTA DO SOMETHING about the stale state of it. But it's MY Own Business. So i shall take my time and tackle it bit by bit, a step at a time. HEALTH FIRST!! Then ME-TIME!
Sooo i really wanna upload some more pics but the Internet Connection is going haywire on me again. Shall just upload a couple super-wuper cute toys i got on Sat!! i dun wanna waste more time waiting for the other pics to load. COS I NEED MY SLEEP! Anyway most of them are rather outdated. So wait till i take more fresher new pics! Till then, love yall! (those who are still good to me and love me back at least.. haha)
ta-da!
Wuper-cute Mr Bean...
Get them at any Mr Bean outlet! Proceeds will go to charity.. tho i dunno how much. Honestly, i bought them cos they are cute *sheepish grin*

Getting bitten by Dr Fish!! It's really quite fun, once u get over the initial gross-ness of something feeding away on ur dead skin.
Camwhoring whilst getting our dead skin fed on..
Mummy commented i have the most fish.. cos i got the most dead skin, thanks to my seasonal eczema.. Dr Fish is sposed to be good for psoriasis or eczema patients, dun see much improvement to mine=(
darlin' bee attempting to fit into a Daiso basket with his new toy.

nice takeaway cup from a foodcourt. Love the scene on the cup.. my kind of world.

Our Reunion Dinner (incl Bibi's foodbowl=)) Simple but tasty.
Bibi on new satin sheets... (NOT his ah!!)
While "shou-sui"-ing... our yearly tradition.. Macs delivery to keep the sleep bugs at bay.
Day 1 CNY dinner, leftovers from Reunion Dinner with a couple of new dishes, like fish and prawns.

Seriously what is the world coming to? I don't profess to be an all-animal lover, but images like this always are disturbing, especially when i start to have nightmares of people doing that to Bibi. *shudders* esp so cos in one of the pics, the kitten was lying in a position like Bibi, utterly trusting of the human handling it.
Sigh.

I just came across this blog and in a matter of 30mins, i must say i'm awestruck by her spunky, kickass, justdoit attitude, and the most amazing thing is, she's only 17!
Now, what was i doing when i was 17?
Actually she's like a ang-moh style kind of asian girl living in an asian society. And then, there's the environment she lives in
Nonetheless, she really inspires me in a go-get-it kind of way.
Makes me inspired to really just explore my options and expand them.
-----
Laid off doing my New Year Resolutions cos it's never been a habit of mine, but have the itch now. Maybe cos of the inspiration.
Just one. (cos my non-functioning mind is going to sleep soon)
Saying Yes, in a be-good-to-myself kind of way.
Yeah this boils down to better time management and being abit more selfish.
The Yes means alot i think: open up my horizons, being kind to myself, blah blah.
My mind is really not functioning le. Needa sleep. Will sleep on this and come back with more if i can.

i'm really stressed out. and tired. and beat.
But yet it's kinda the first time i think i'm thriving on work. Maybe it's the first time i feel that my mind is occupied constructively. I do enjoy the learning of something new. Esp when it's hands-on learning.
Just call me an experiential learner. A thousand instructions mean nothing to a single activity.
On the personal life-side, i'm really really isolated. I need to go retail therapy at lavendarcloset, and move stuff back to the study-room (yippees it's cleared out again!), and do this purging of my wardrobe as i saw in a Elle article. Start throwing all those years-ago clothes away and get a new wardrobe with simple classics! I also read somewhere that we only wear 20% of what's in our wardrobe.. so what happened to the other 80%? Time to purge and spend wisely on beautiful timeless classics!
And springcleaning! dun remind me..
