Choosing death before it falls upon you is plain stupidity. I used to mock at men who chose to commit suicide over matters I have no idea of. Only people who are mentally weak succumbs to the temptation of suicide to end problems. Only people who are useless decides to jump into the railway track and welcomes the arriving train. I used to say.

Today, I read about the death of a man at Queenstown station. Following his news were ridicules on how his death caused inconvenience to other commuters as the train was delayed. Seriously, what has our society become? Has the virtue of empathy been burnt by wild fires? Since we did not participate in his life, we are in no position to comment his decision. Period.

Not everyone is born with a silver spoon. Not everyone wakes up to a table of delicately prepared English breakfast. Not everyone walks on two legs and carries with two arms. Not everyone has someone to talk to when he is lonely. Not everyone goes for a good weekend family meal. Not everyone has a room of his own. Not everyone even has a bed of his own. For whatever issues that pushed him off sanity, the story would have been different if he has had a friend to talk to.

This selfish narrowminded society.

I despise you.

All the fights to stay peculiar.

.

Is just another flight of fancy.

FROM THIS -->TO THIS -->5 Reasons how this happened:

1) I am mentally weak and succumbed to the hairdresser's sugary words after less than 3 minutes of persuasion. ( I thought such a drastic decision needs at least a week or so? )

2) I had enough of doing that girly action that twirls my long hair into her perfect curl. Afterall, i am a man, this action gives me split personality.

3) Over dinner, while bending over to fetch some food, my long hair dipped into the candle holder and caught fire. It was just a mini hoo-ha, but enough to make her smell like a sad little burnt victim.

4) Life is too short. I must try all hairstyles. Afterall, if it is too ugly, there is always something called the wig.

5) The long hair is too heavy on my shoulders, literally. So, let's take her off.

.

Randomness pays off, now i'm totally embracing my new short hair!

So, I'm going to China for work again.

.

And this time round, I can't bear to leave the boyfriend.

.

(even for a tiny one week)

.

Whiny me, whatever.

You lament the coffee stain on your crisply ironed shirt.

I lament the burning sun causing my skin to wrinkle and hurt.

You lament the incompetent intern scrambling around like a busy bee.

I lament the evil words exchanged by my female colleagues grinning in glee.

You lament the motorist in front travelling at 70 and looking so gay.

I lament the manicurist who cut my beautiful cuticle yesterday.

You lament the lost of that one big deal.

I lament the calories i gained after an insanely huge meal.

You lament the excessive complaints i chide.

I lament the insuffient listening that you provide.

See? Afterall, we are creatures from a different planet!

Things to do in less than 5 minutes ( but makes you super healthy) :

1) Drink a glass of water.
2) Do 15 lunges.
3) Do a face mask.
4) Send a message to a friend telling her how much you love her.
5) Eat an apple.
6) Sit up straight.
7) Say thank you to the girl who just opened the door for you.
8) Search for a dance class online.
9) Do 15 sit-ups.
10) Smile like you really mean it.

It's never hard to be healthy, it's just another easy choice :)

In 2008, I was a devil.

.

In 2010, I am Lara Croft.

.

In 2011, I shall be a pot of plants.

Oh, we'll see :)

Everyone has a threshold for emotions. I have a very low threshold for irritation. For the past few weeks, everytime i visit my space, spam comments greet my lovely chatbox. They call it free advertisement, i call it fucked up bullshit. Hence, instead of letting them control me, i shall control them. BYE BYE IRRITATIONS. POOF! and my chatbox (along with the irritating prevalent spams) is gone for good.

Eventually, I don't care who the readership of this blog goes to. I don't need comments option to proof to anyone that real humans are reading it. I write because i will.

SEE? IT'S SO EASY TO BE HAPPY! :)

.

Before i turn slightly stupid, it's high time to read a book.

If only time permits, for another strawberry outing.

5 reasons why you are STILL fat:

1) You eat in the office.

You are a slave to your boss. When lunch time comes knocking at your door, you decide to get convenient food back to your seat and lunch in. Firstly, be honest, how much time can be saved and how much more extra work can be done just by lunching in? Stop finding excuses that you are diligent. Just admit that you are deniably inefficient. Secondly, by lunching in, you accumulate all those unattractive fats at your tummy area and walk off with a bonus big fat ass. NOW GET OUT!

.

2) You social eat.

We all have evil friends who can't wait to see us expand in girth. Friends who know we are striving to maintain a healthy lifestyle but force down that burger king set meal down our throat. One fine day, I had a huge satisfying bowl of fishball noodles for lunch. On a random conversation, I told my colleague that I crave for mushroom swiss burger. After an hour, this very helpful colleague bought his own whopper meal plus another set of mushroom swiss double meal for me (knowing that i just had big lunch). I resisted for 4 times but eventually still gobbled the whole set down my very expanded oesophagus. LEARN HOW TO SAY NO TO EVIL FRIENDS.

.

3) You shake no ass.

And you are the kind of girl who doesn't like the word sweat. You are a shame to your sweat glands waiting to pounce. To be slim and toned, you can't escape cardio which eventually means you can't escape jogging, cycling or swimming. NOW LOVE SWEAT!

.

4) You are one apple a day girl.

Fruits contain sugar if you do not know yet. Consuming just fruits everyday for a prolonged period in fact result in weight gain rather than weight loss. Cutting down carbs is a much wiser strategy than going fruitarian. Balance is the word. Counting calories during every meal will put extra pressure on your mind, body and soul. And that calories stress, causes weight gain too!

.

5) You have a boyfriend.

Self-explanatory. All boyfriends' goal in life is to make their girlfriends fat. Try hiding from them for a month. That's the best way to shed those fats!

Pretty is an exclamation from afar when you are a mere stranger to her.

.

Attractive is after months and years of knowing, you still exclaim her beauty.

.

I have many pretty friends, only few are attractive.

.

Oh well, you know who :)

For all the love and sweetness you filled my life with,

.

Happy Birthday crazy best friend :)

The best pair of heels will bring you to the best places in the world.

.

GIVE ME THOSE HEELS!

So, I spent the past week in Beijing for a shipping conference, and these are the things i want to remember.
.

1) The hotel was a place to fall in love with. It was a jacuzzi to soak bubble bath in, a princess bed to bury my slumber in and an auto warm up toilet seat to plant my lovely ass in. And forget not, extremely friendly hotel staffs to make a blessed homely stay.

2) I used to call it pretentious, but now i call it soft skills. Having technical knowledge of a profession only brings you to the top of the trees. But having the soft skills to socialise appropriately brings you to another world of opportunities. Friends or business partners, i would like plenty of them in my pocket!

3) When i finally got time to myself, i went clubbing alone. Someone told me the club in my hotel is one of the best in Beijing. This is enough reason to justify taking a peep at it. Since no one was free to join me, i decided to explore it on my own. I queued for 40 minutes (alone) only to realise that hotel guests have priority entry. Yes, blame it on stupidity or whatever. In the end, i found myself dancing with random new friends from Argentina and Africa. How insane but fun is that :)

4) It was my first time taking a transit flight. Unfortunately, flight from Beijing to Guangzhou was delayed for one hour due to the lamest reason. This led to a mad rush for my flight when i land in Guangzhou. In order to catch my flight back to Singapore, i had to literally run across two terminals with 3 Peking ducks on my hand. Trust me, ducks are very heavy creatures.

5) I wrote a thank you card to the boy who came to my room for housekeeping every night at 8pm. He told me how lucky i am to be able to travel and stay in nice hotels. To him, supporting his big family back in their village is the only priority in his life. And he is very happy and contented seeing their happy faces everytime he goes home. So much to learn about contentment :)

Throw me into the ocean, for i know i will not drown.

I was browsing through flowerpod forum when this caught my attention. From the poll, almost 70% of girls had sex (pardon me for the blunt expression) before the age of 21. This means out of you and 2 other girlfriends, only one has not had sex before she turns 21.

One important note: Don't judge a book by its cover. The one who has not had sex might not necessarily be the one who is the most innocent looking, cringing on the word sex individual. And the one who talks liberally about sex does not equate to her being a definite non virgin individual.

Oh well, who knows.

The worst thing that can happen on a cheery morning is seeing someone in the exact same dress as you. This is not allowed in any scenarios, be it birthday parties, weddings or a simple affair to the office. Fashion doesn't allow generous accommodation of another duplicated being. The instinct emotions of the two twins by mistake is scoff. Harsh glances will be exchanged and contemptous body gestures will be transmitted to instill seniority. Eventually, there must be an exclusive glory to the better looking one at any close proximity. To avoid future mistakes like this, i could only think of one most efficient solution.
.
STOP ONLINE SHOPPING!!!
.
Because that makes you one of those default girls in that character/less default-looking dress. Period.

If only i could lay in a bed of hydrangeas.

Yesterday night, out of pure curiosity, i stepped onto the hideous weighing scale. I forgot when was the last time i indulged in similar superficial, bimbotic activity. All along, i lived in my own cloak of a pretty, sexy 46kg. However, i was greeted by a BIG FAT 50.8KG. Now, where did that body mass come from? When did i even allow this extravagant expansion in girth? I admit i have been eating like an emperor, devouring food generously and bragging about how i can eat so much without gaining any weight. I derived glee from the envious look from fellow female buddies who only eat a small apple a day.

IT IS A FACADE. IT IS A HUGE MISTAKE.

.

Now, i'm reduced to one of those small apples a day ladies.

.

Retribution.

When someone gives you a lemon,
you make them ice lemon tea.

When someone gives you a flower,
you plant them a garden of roses.

When someone gives you a tiger,
you transform into an iron warrior.

When someone gives you a key,
you open all doors of opportunities.

When someone gives you shit,
you hold it in your palms and give them a big hug.

Make the best out of everything.

When you feel like an emotional hijack is looming.

Count from 1 to 10 and inhale.

Now, curse that idiot and move on.

In the only world of fantasies.

I was reading about the recent saga of ladyironchef food blogger's arrogant and assuming behavior.

Mistake 1: Who gives you the title of a food blogger? Did you earn an education in gourmet studies. If not, according to my own definitions, i can be a food blogger too. And bonus point, i am prettier than you for sure.

Mistake 2: When someone invites you for a food tasting session, with the goodwill of accomodating another guest, you don't end up bringing 3 friends and expect to taste for free. You are not going to a wedding or a feast. Even wedding invitations, we pay! Wake up your idea, dude.

Mistake 3: Your words as a food blogger has no stand at all. One man's meat is another man's poison. After reading your food reviews, i suspect amateur is your middle name.

Mistake 4: If you are there for a food tasting, how does the wine come into the picture. If all food tasters, or rather food bloggers get free wine, clubbers will find their new green pastures.

Mistake 5: Don't ever throw credit cards at waiters when paying your bill. They are not your slaves, and you are not their lord. Seriously, they don't owe you a living.

Mistake 6: You are not a food connoisseur, not even near that, so cut the arrogance and ego.

Mistake 7: Never blog about your apologies. It does no help at all. Damage done, face it.

Always be nice. Nomatter your status ( and you didn't even have one to begin with).

HELEN. she's a bitch. but a KIND one.
