feels like eons

2011-08-24T18:54:00.001+08:00

It feels like a really long time since I last spoken to you.. Well, truth is, we haven't really spoken to each other abt true feelings or difficulties faced in life, etc. Maybe I would say it's more like personal stuff! Haha it's difficult to describe the feeling but It's like we're on talking terms but I feel this awkwardness inside of me boiling.. I feel unnatural when I speak to you.. Haha wonder why I feel like that!How can i feel distant when I, in fact, still sense some closeness between us.. It's like I want to SMS you when we part but I just tell myself not to, lest you find me bothering you.. Hai... Let this not be too confusing

Stamp Rally Escape Game

Stamp Rally Escape Game

Yippee!! It was fun playing this game. This game was recommended from jayisgames and it is really fun!
It is an escape game (meaning you're supposed to escape from the room) and in this case, it is the dog and the cat who are participating in an event involving the collection of 10 stamps. When brought to the room, your goal is to collect 10 stamps and head home! :)

It has the cute factor in addition to the sense of emergency to get out! :D
Enjoy. I got the Gold Trophy and 2 iPhones as a reward!!

(Obviously the cat and dog got them :P)

Heavy Rain PS3

Here's another review on a game I've been playing. Now I'm also trying to plat this together with my FF13. I must say this game concept is really fantastic. Its storyline and the building up of it is all well put together. In brief, the story is about a father who has 2 little boys. One died in a misfortunate traffic accident and the father blames himself for the accident. The Origami Killer then kidnapped his other son and gives him "tests" (in the origami) to the find out the location where his son is placed (the killer placed him strategically in a drain, waiting for the rain level to rise and drown him). Therefore, the father only has a limited amount of time to get to the location before the rain level hits too high. Well, the story then proceeds with how the father tries to pass the test to obtain enough clues to figure out where his child is and the characters in the game can die and they contribute to different endings. There are in total 7 different endings. How wonderful!

In addition, the gameplay is unique and fabulous too. In which game users must hit buttons based on timing (e.g. the button appears and you must hit it within a certain amt of time). Of course that's not the only mehotd of controlling your game characters. There's continuous hitting of a button, or swinging your controller in a particular direction. Some actions require slowly turning the R3 button. Not to say that the game producers have come up with a PSmove version of the game (i believe it's even better, esp after playing this version!)

The graphics are good too, not forgetting that PS3 was meant for HD tvs. haha! Oh but let's not forget that its a game rated as "18 and above please". So children don't get the game and be naughty. There are sex scenes in the game (depending on the choices you make). :P

Once again, another lovely game to play. P.s. it isn't difficult to plat. Let me see how fast I can do it :P Well, I'm playing it the 2nd time already!

Considerate or not?

2011-06-06T16:54:00.003+08:00

Considerate or not?

Well, frankly speaking, the word "priority seat" is a really subjective term. Who is able to truly define "priority"? Who is to be in the priority list and who is out? How can people just simply take a photo of a person sitting at the priority seat with an elderly nearby?
1.) Never did we define who belongs in the "elderly" section, which is part of the "priority" group right? So is a 40 year old auntie or uncle qualified to get the priority seat, since some stare at you if you're sitting in it?
2.) By experience of asking the elderly to take a seat, some repeatedly refuse to take your seat.
3.) How do you know the person sitting in the priority seat is actually not a "priority" person? Could it be that the person was not feeling well?
How about the person wanting to grab the seat? Does that person truly need the seat more than that person sitting in it?
4.) Hmm, if there was really an elderly who needed that seat, what about the others sitting in the non-priority seats? Does it truly require a priority seat for people to display acts of courtesy?

Frankly, the seat is public and whosoever got the seat has the right to sit in it. Isn't that true?
However, we still cannot deny the fact that there are inconsiderate people around who snatch seats and bully others who truly need it. But, how can we judge who needs the seat more? It is not right to jump to conclusions.

Therefore, I think that we should all contribute to make the society a better one. We cannot expect people to have the same attitude. But since you can play a part, just do as much as you can, to give up your seat to those people who need it more.

Internet has been down

Internet has been down

:( Internet has been down for the past few days I didn't blog! Finally its back to normal! YIPPEE!!

Hehehe just some updates.
1.) I got back my results from school already! Got to work harder the next semester. I will never give up and I know my God is with me all the way.
2.) I bought a new pair of shoes! YAY! :) Its a pair of sneakers cream colour with purple shoelaces. I can't wait to wear it out! :D:D:D:DD:D:D Here is how it looks like:

3.) I went out with a couple of friends and we got to eat good food! TCC has a 1-for-1 offer currently! :) Look at the receipt:

We only spent $44.45, having 4 main course to eat. Its worth it!

This is my prawn aglio olio! Its so wonderful, it was very well made (at least the one I had)

My friend just came back from Taiwan and he brought back some nice fingerlings (it was feng li su) for us. It was not bad :D hehehe.

4.) Another meal I had with another group of friends was at a Japanese restaurant. It wasn't as good but it was good time shared with friends. We played "Cluedo" together and now I know how to play the game. Yay! We chilled at the top storey of esplanade and we got to see beautiful lights emitting from one hotel/casino. I'm not very sure what kind of building it is! But it was beautiful, too bad I didn't bring my camera out! :(

Actually thats about it. :( Its so little mainly because I have not done many things due to the lack of internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ClickPlay

Just today I was playing this game ClickPlay!I found it really fun! Of course I got linked there via jayisgames. Afterall, its a wonderful game site for simple and casual games. Alright, just to give you an idea about what this game is about, its about finding the "move on" button and complete the game with the least number of clicks! Well, it's pretty tricky here and there and your goal is toat least reach lesser than 600 clicks to obtain a bronze medal! Can you do it? HEHEHEHE! Erm, I got 482 clicks for ClickPlay3 but i forgot to screenshot it... I'll redo it when i'm free!

(p.s. There are 3 parts to this game! Its really a nice gameto pass time :P)

Final Fantasy

2011-05-24T22:48:00.000+08:00

Final Fantasy

The Final fantasy series has always been my favourite, since I was in primary school! I started with FF (short-form for "final fantasy") erm...... FF9 first! With Garnet and Zidane in a beautiful love story during the ancient English times, where Garnet was the princess and Zidane was just a little thief and their magical encounter with each other.

It then followed up with FF8, with Rinoa, Squall, Zell, Selphie, and many more! I must say this game's story line was really one I loved. There was so much magical and fantasy-like spells and such. Even Edea was my character for a period of time! (Edea was the wicked witch which has gone astray, that's the most simplified was to put it)

Then I moved backwards to FF5, on the computer (well it was a nintendo game I believe but i downloaded some programs to convert the nintendo game into a computer game! Wow, ""what the""" I must be out of my mind!) Anyway, i never managed to finish that one... So.... SAD!!!!!! But it was about crystals and different characters could take different jobs. Even then, the gameplay was already fantastic! Praise to "Squaresoft"! It was called squaresoft then... Now the company is called Square Enix :D

Alright, then I moved on to FFX (FF10) Well, I must say, it had the best of that time's graphics and also, gameplay was great! I had this board for me to learn abilities and the board overlap between the different characters! In that way, each character could possess everyone else's abilities. Oooo... If only my board was maxed-out, then I would have been the strongest in the game, WAHAHAHA!

However, the ending of FFX was totally a sad one. Fans were obviously enraged when they didn't get to see a happy ending for Tidus and Yuna.... So here comes FFX-2!!!!! FFX-2 gameplay was really good too! I was happy with the ability to switch between suits and get involved in different roles. It was fun!

Now, I'm at FF13 and guess what, its great too! But i must say at first I was quite confused with the storyline, but it got clearer of course! :D Graphics were top-notch and also, the game play was interesting. It allowed gamers to take a strategic approach to the game. No longer the just "attack" and win kind of thing anymore! It required thinking in order to know what paradigms to set before entering battles. It allows gamers to fully utilise each role strategically. However, the game was a little too linear, meaning you are not allowed to deviate from the main storyline. This is the case all the way until it reaches the last part of the game. Not much side quests allowed. That's the sad thing. But, think of it in another way, we get a higher chance of fully completing the game and Plat-ing it (or rather, "Platinum-trophy" it). The soundtracks are great too!

Frankly, the music of final fantasy are all wonderful songs to play. Its all very matchy with the game and it really brings out the essence of each situation.

In conclusion, I'll just say this. Final Fantasy is great! If you have the chance, do play the entire series of the games. If you cant, at least play the newer versions of it and you'll be sure to fall in love with it if you're an epic fan of RPG (Role playing games)! ENJOY!!!!

Hotel626

"Do you want to commit yourself or check-in?"

Freakish yet scary game.
Well, this is another game I wish to introduce, thanks to my friends in poly that i came to know of this! Its a game which only allows you to gain access to check-in and play the horror game from 6pm to 6am the next morning. (P.s. there are cheats to get pass the script written allowing check-in only at that time.)

I played the entire game when i was in poly and I must say that it is a well-written game. It may or may not freak you out but its really well written! You'll have to play it to find out! :P So I shall not spoil the fun and let you find out yourself :D

Here's the link.

jayisgames

Have you ever felt like neopets was not enough to satisfy your gaming pleasures? Well, not that kind of hardcore gaming like world of warcraft or final fantasy, but simple and short games to enjoy yet doesn't require too much of thinking and just to-let-time-pass-you-by kind of games.
Well, you need it, you'll have it! A great website to visit is jayisgames. This website acts as a one-stop gaming website where casual games are introduced. In addition, the walkthrough is also available if you're not smart enough to solve the short riddles! (just kidding!) Walkthroughs are guides to the game in case you get stuck at really hard-to-solve riddles.

Jayisgames is just a wonderful website to get to the games I love! I love escape games (meaning you try to escape from a room). Its just thrilling to keep clicking at the screen to pick up items which might be useful to help you escape from the room! Of course its not a just-keep-on-clicking kinda game! It requires some knowledge in piecing the parts together to form a useful tool to help you ESCAPE!!! Haha!

Another game which interests me the most, are the hoshi saga series. They are wonderful! Find stars in the stage!

Well, even if you don't enjoy these 2 genres of games, do check-out the other games recommended by jayisgames, afterall, I only got to know about these 2 kinds of games after I actually visit the website! ENJOY!

NEOPETS

You: WHAT? Neopets? You kidding me?
Me: Yeah, why not?

HAHA! The games are actually well made. Simple and fun! Occasionally, you can exit the games mode and go play horse racing! oh, i meant Poogle racing. Haha have a bet you gamblers! Since you need some funds to even enter a casino, why not just have some fun there? Well, I know i'm being ""lame"" but, its fun too :D Maybe, think of it this way, you're alone at home and there's no one to play cheat with you! OH THERE YOU GO, NEOPETS! Neopets has cheat! and you can play it with the other neopet characters like bruce, or Princess fernally (is it spelt like that?), or that shark thingy! fun to the max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!

Its high time to RE-LIVE YOUR CHILDHOOD! Hmm.. I played that when i was younger, like in primary school or secondary school. Oh come'on! You did too, right? didn't you? I think it was the IN-THING!!!!!!!

It's been a v. long time!

2011-05-22T18:11:00.002+08:00

It's been a v. long time!

Welcome me back to the virtual world!
Well well well, I must say, this term has been a really crazy one for me. As a matter of fact, I have been tugging at my hair and screaming at myself all day long!

Back after a short vacation, I'm glad to say I'm back to my USUAL self (frankly, the crazy and stressed-out version of me isn't really me!!!!! Well, it is to a certain extent, but v little of me :) try to believe me yah? hahaha) Wahaha, I'm sure you'll be busting me with questions when I mention about the vacation! Are you wondering where I went? I went to the place of gambling and for gluttons! Where's that?
Some may say Las Vegas, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! WRONG!
I went to Macau AND HongKong! Hahaha! A combination of places, bet you wouldn't be able to point that out. Alright, yeah, its guess-able. I know I know, it isn't such a difficult place to figure out.

Okay, as a summary of what happened, little me over here has gone through a short semester of 3 months working through 3 core modules plus 1 crazy sub-core module (or rather, a compulsory either-or elective!) My advise to anyone is not to be a smart alec and try to take 4 cores! It can seriously kill you, in terms of grades, not to say I'm only taking 4 mods this semester and not the usual 5! oh well, but it was really fun going through the 4 mods overall. I wouldn't say I enjoyed spending Chinese new year in school though. Haha. I wasted time with my loved ones. Hated that. I had to rush fora project deadline. Alright, the results will be out in another 8 days, that would be the following monday, 30th May 2011!

I'll update you about schoolwork then! WAHAHAHA! In the meantime, I'll just see what's interesting to tell you about!

Thank the Lord for being there with me all this while, and bringing me through all these tough times in school! <3 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! <3:)

Radiohead - Creep

Radiohead - Creep

Isn't there a song which describes how you feel sometimes? This song made me feel like I should be the one singing it. Haha. Funny isn't it? But I learnt something very important today. I should not feel lonely. Keep God and His Word close to my heart and stay strong, regardless of the troubles I face. Thank God for loving me and making me His child. I love you Lord. Thank you so much for forgiving me, a sinner.

Anyway, this song is really nice, although I don't want to be the one singing it anymore! :)

Here's the song.

And here are the lyrics:

------------------------------------
Radiohead - Creep
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here?
I don't belong here

She's running out again
She's running out
She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
------------------------------------

Stay Happy! =)

BELIEVE ONLY IN YOURSELF?

2010-08-15T23:40:00.003+08:00

BELIEVE ONLY IN YOURSELF?

Just recently, I realised my blog name is totally.... RIDICULOUS!! How can one person only believe in yourself? haha. Well, I also realised that I don't even do that!! I believe in one true man God, Jesus Christ, and of course, God. Ain't it ridiculous to say believe ONLY in yourself?

Trusting in others is really necessary, isn't it? Only when you place trust in someone, that the relationship will develop into something more pleasant. Though people may make use of you, isn't it true that you too, take some others for grant (sometimes)? Its a give-and-take world. Love others how much you want others to love you and treat others how you wish to be treated. If you can't trust anyone your whole life, you'll be living in misery, for you'll always be alone. Open yourself up. Trust others, isn't that easier to do?
:)

Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!

Kaichou wa Maid-Sama!

Hello! It's been a long long time since I actually blogged! Sad to say, I've been really busy due to the new schedule and stressful bidding system of the school!

I've recently been catching a new anime - Kaichou wa Maid Sama. Exactly what the japanese title says, its about the Kaichou (President) being a Maid! Well, the president is known as Misaki and she is a good president of this school. However, due to financial difficulties, she was forced to do a part time job. She got one, as a Maid in a Maid Cafe! As many should know, working in a maid cafe would mean dressing up as a maid and serving customers, chatting with them and of course, doing a waitress-related job.

It was supposed to be a secret that she was working as a Maid. However, some students in her school happen to find out about it. Especially this one guy, known as Usui. He soon took interest in her and start acting as her wonderful bodyguard. By the way, Usui's character is depicted as a really handsome individual with self-defense skills sufficient to make a girl feel secure. It always seem so coincidental that Usui is able to protect her everytime she needs him.

Ain't it sweet? It was the perfect type of anime for me, because... I'M A GIRL and I love romance stories. Well, its a little cliche though. So if you're the kind who dreads watching the leading guy as a prince on a white horse, save the leading female character, this is totally NOT the anime for you! I like the opening song too. For your information, I do not usually listen to the anime theme songs.. And I probably got to like this song because I had to listen to it while watching it on Animax (Ch532). HAHA! Well, anyway, here's the song, and it aptly fits the show!

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has passed away for 1 year already. Tonight I saw the hbo feature on him, at his last rehearsal before he left this earth. Despite it being a rehearsal, he mentioned about loving the world and spreading word to save our planet. Even though it was only the rehearsals, had mentioned it several times and he did a wonder job of dancing!! He is indeed the king of pop!

He is truly a talented artist and I hope more people are inspired by him to save the world and show your talent to the whole world, bring people to places they've never been to! Experience the " impossible".

Live life as if each day counts. Michael Jackson's death was sudden. Cherish people around you

Praise the Lord

The past has to go and the future has to come.

2010-05-18T12:27:00.002+08:00

The past has to go and the future has to come.

I always wonder if I'm being too emotional or sentimental. I always wonder if I care too much. Being an emotional creature isn't good. Everyone moves on with smiles and is happy enough to face the uncertain future. Am I the only one feeling lonely and scared to see everyone beside me leave me? If you feel this way, you probably are a person who can't let go easily. To friends and to relationships.

How I feel is that, no matter what, the past has to go and the future has to come, why not try to relax and take one step at a time. I mean, everyone has to move on. Embrace the future with hope! =)

Discrimination

2010-05-14T11:51:00.002+08:00

Discrimination

Have you ever felt like you were looked down upon just because of a stereotypical thinking?
For example, you hang out with an asshole-character good friend (lets call this person X) and your so-called ex-friend (lets call this person Y) assumed that you were of the same character as X.

That's not true right? Just because you click with someone doesn't mean you are the same in personality. Even though you guys might have something in common.

As another example, just because you are of a Chinese race does not mean you got slitty eyes. That's why I don't understand why people think so. For example, look at this vid from madtv where they talk about discrimination!

Right?? Isn't that true? Never judge someone just based on appearances!! :P

(P.s. Anyway, the vid is really funny right?? Bobby Lee is funny too!! :) )

hehe!!

Final Fantasy 13

2010-04-25T15:30:00.006+08:00

Final Fantasy 13

Leona Lewis sang a song called "My Hands" and is used for Final Fantasy 13 trailer. However, it is only used for the US version. The Japanese version does not use this song. I personally feel that the song feels really epic and it gave the game a great feeling, before I even started playing. The songs are wonderful. The Japanese theme song for the game is "Kimi ga iru kara" and it stands for "Because you exist". The Japanese theme song is sang by Sugawara Sayuri. The game also has another Japanese theme song known as "Eternal love" and is beautiful also. I feel that the producers did a great job in this version of Final fantasy.

"The Oath" makes the game seem so sad, when the story is already a sad one. I will not reveal anything about the storyline, in case it might be a spoiler.

Currently, I'm playing the game and I like the battle system. However, with this change of battle system, it makes the game harder to play, especially if you are not very strategic and do not know which paradigms to use at the right time. It makes it difficult to get a good rating, since the star-ratings (rated, based on time) replenishes the TP bar. But it makes the game challenging to play. With the crystarium system, it makes gamers want to complete it, just like in Final Fantasy 10. Its cool.

My overall rating of the game is 8.5/10.

I would like to share the english trailer of Final fantasy 13 I saw on youtube. Please enjoy...

I was really surprised when I saw this one picture of a machine, which usually deducts money from your cashcard when moving out from a carpark. It was written on the machine --> $175.91.

Haha! Oh my goodness. Could you believe it? It was difficult to imagine the amount deducted just for parking alone. It is comparable to a meal at a restaurant for a table of 7. It is unbelievable.

In fact, this person only parked at the carpark for 1 hour. Isn't it ridiculous?! If it happened to me, I will do far more than just approaching the attendant. I will make the attendant do SOMETHING FOR ME! And, I will not leave the location until I get the right person to speak with. Gr.

Well, I hope that doesn't happen to me. Poor guy. I hope he gets his money back.

Stuff people do

Stuff people do

Have you done any of the following things?
1.) Pretended that you were talking to someone on the phone
2.) Went to the toilet just because you felt awkard in a situation, but not spending too much time, in case people thought you were pooping?
3.) Brushed off your friends so you could bring a PAD to the toilet
4.) Take a piece of tissue paper, covering your mouth, to remove vegetables stuck between your teeth in public
5.) Farted in public but acted like as if you didn't!
6.) Tripped and almost fell, but tried to act as if you didn't and tried to stay cool
7.) Burped in public like as if no one would mind
8.) Laugh EXTREMELY loudly in the cinema
9.) Uncontrollably laugh at someone when he or she embarassed themselves in public
10.) Held your girlfriend's hand but was gawking at another girl you felt was ""HOT""
11.) Went out with 2 guys at the same time

Actually, these are SOME of the things that people do. :) haha. Really, its funny because I'm sure some of the things you have done it yourself. Uh-HUH! Now you know! Its actually quite common, I realised.

Sometimes, things which are done sneakily, are the most obvious! =P

Just for fun

GLEE

Have you heard of GLEE? Glee is an American drama series which is quite out of the ordinary! Well, I've not seen any musical-like drama series before. And the best part of it? Their singing rocks! Go you-tube to find some songs they sing on the show. Its really good.

And know what? There's the funny factor too! It ain't just a boring show about a singing club. Don't believe me? Catch the show at Channel 18 (Starworld) if you have Starhub Cable TV! :P

Stalkers

Today while I was on my way home, one person kept looking at me and smiling. This person was on the same bus as me. And it so happened that he got off at the interchange too. His smile was slightly perverse but I tried not to stare and ignored his persistent glares. It was really terribly frightening when you have encountered similar incidents where people stalk you home. In other words, follow you.

Girls (as well as guys), it is not a joke when someone is following you. This person might:
a.) Want to rape you
b.) Want to steal from you
c.) Want to know where you stay, which might have another ulterior motive to it
d.) Be in desperate need of something
e.) Have some other motive

As such, it is important to learn how to protect yourself from people who follow you. There are several important points to note (or options to take) when you realise someone is following you behind.
1.) Call the Police --> BEST OPTION! (Ask them for help!)
2.) Move towards a crowded area and sit down first, call a STRONG friend or a group to come, so you'll not be alone.
3.) NEVER run back home because you're scared --> You'll just lead the person home
4.) NEVER try going to somewhere quiet to question the person's reason for following you
5.) NEVER ACT SMART. If he suddenly approaches you and snatches from you, NEVER fight back, NEVER hold on to your purse and struggle. You might get hurt if you do so
6.) Use your Vocal Cords (Especially if it is a RAPIST?!) --> SHOUT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN FOR HELP!

Here are several thing you can do. This list is not exhaustive (obviously). Well, in conclusion, just learn how to protect yourself in some cirumstances.

Caring for your skin

2009-12-08T22:06:00.003+08:00

Caring for your skin

Need tips to caring for your skin? No problem! HAHA! I must say that skin care is very important for both ladies and gentlemen. Why? Everyone undergoes hormonal changes and an outbreak of pimples can occur in anyone, with no discrimination against people with the XY or XX chromosome.

Pimples are basically inflammations. As such, we have to keep our skin clean. That is the most important thing to keep your skin healthy! How do you do that? Follow the steps below!
Step 1: Cleanse you face
Step 2: Do a facial mask (when necessary)
Step 3: Use toner
Step 4: Apply anything necessary like dark spots corrector pen, etc
Step 5: Apply Cream
Step 6: Apply Sunblock (if you are going out)
Step 7: Apply makeup (if you love makeup!)

It is important to note the following:
- Do not cleanse your face more than twice a day - once in the morning and once at night. It makes your skin dry.
- If your have acne or pimple problems, Salicylic Acid can be your solution. You can make your own aspirin facial mask, or else, use facial cleansers with salicylic acid in it. Salicylic acid is ASPIRIN and has anti-inflammatory effects on your pimples. Without pimples, it can help to keep your skin "pimple-free"!
(* There are other chemicals useful as well. In my opinion, salicylic acid is not too harsh on the inflammation, where other chemicals seem to left a scar......)
- Recommended number of facial masks you should do in a week is 2. Overdoing it can harm you skin condition. It will be good to follow what the facial mask labels say.
- Best time to do facial mask is 11pm!
- Toner is essential for wiping out impurities and to close up your pores.
- You should own 2 types of cream - Day and Night cream. Use Day cream after washing your face in the morning. Use night cream after washing your face at night.
- Sunblocks are great tools for preventing dark spots and freckles.
- Makeup is great to hide your flaws. However, try not to use them when you have pimples are acne problems. It can worsen your condition.
- Beauty Sleep (7hrs) is to help cell renewal! It can help you look more rejuvenated and young!

Generally, this is how I care for my skin. The only thing I have not been able to do is my beauty sleep.
=(
Many other people care for their skin in a different way. You can carry out trial and error experiments to see which way works best for you. This is because skincare is really dependent on individual skin conditions. Hope you find the best way out!

Forgiving someone is a virtue

2009-12-08T21:19:00.005+08:00

Forgiving someone is a virtue

Have you found it difficult to forgive someone? I'm sure you have. Especially when the person has done you wrong.

When people do things, they often do things in their own perspective. For example,
Scenario
Girl and Boy went out window-shopping.

Girl: Let's go to the soft toy shop!
Boy: It's so boring! Let's go have lunch instead.
Girl: Alright then... After that I need to leave for lessons.

Boy and Girl went for a meal and Girl left for her lessons.

Boy: Beautiful flowers! I'm sure all girls love flowers. I'll buy one for "her".

Boy meets girl and hands her a bouquet of flowers!

Girl: Why did you buy this?
Boy: I was convinced you would love it! I spent a bomb on this..
Girl: I'm allergic to flowers. *Sigh*

If you were the girl, you might be telling yourself how he didn't pay attention to what you like (soft toys). The boy would probably felt hurt when his gift was rejected.

Everyone does things in the way how they think is correct. But the method in which they do things might not be accepted by everyone. It is always best to explain and make yourself clear. It helps to clear misunderstandings.

Even so, some people cannot accept the explanations as they are out-of-the-ordinary. For example, Girl two-times Boy. Girl doesn't think it is wrong. She feels that she needed company and Boy deserves to be treated that way because he neglected her.
Even though Girl explains that she two-timed Boy out of the lack of concern from Boy, Boy cannot accept it. He feels hurt by her actions and will never forgive her.

Just recently, I learnt something very important. Forgiveness is a virtue. Why? Basically because not everyone can forgive an out-of-the-ordinary act. Have you forgiven your two-timing boyfriend? Have you forgiven the guy who slept with your best friend? Have you forgiven the guy who has disregarded your feelings and bought you flowers instead of a soft toy?
(I'm sorry for using the word "guy", because most of my friends are girls and they read this blog. It ain't matter if it is a guy or a girl. It's the same.)

People read things in a different way. Simply buying a flower instead of a soft toy can be read as neglect and disregard for "her" feelings. Two-timing can be seen as disrespect and betrayal of trust. Before you can expect others to forgive you, try seeing their point of view and understand the amount of pain and the mind battles they have to fight before they can accept your extraordinary acts. It is not a simple task.

Have you forgiven a person who has two-timed you, done harm to your family, or other out-of-the-ordinary acts? If "Yes", Thumbs-up for these people!

P.s. Sorry if I'm using examples from relationships because its most impactful. =)

Two Timers

2009-11-01T23:58:00.001+08:00

Two Timers

Is two timing a trend nowadays? Or do people simply enjoy the feeling of flirting?

Do you remember I was a girl? If you do, you would certainly understand my topic today. There are guys who tries to ask me to be his girlfriend even though he already has a girlfriend. What kind of behaviour is this? Does this guy enjoy the feeling of sneaky relationships? Or is this guy simply trying to get laid?

The way I look at it, he enjoys both. Warning to the females, such incidents do not only happen in TV shows. They do happen in real life. And if you were thinking that only guys do this, you're very wrong. Females may tell you they do not enjoy flirting but in actual fact, they do.

Question to Girls:
1.) Do you enjoy the feeling of being admired and appreciated?
2.) Do you enjoy a guy wooing you?

If you do, to any of the above questions, then yes, there is a chance of females doing the same thing to males.

I agree that it may feel enjoyable to have a sneaky relationship with someone else. However, have you thought about how your partner would feel upon knowing that he or she was cheated? If it was you being cheated on, what would you do? So, be warned! Do not think your partner or lover is so innocent!

Rude people on the loose!

2009-11-01T23:36:00.002+08:00

Rude people on the loose!

It was a cruise I was on. These people on the cruise paid lots of money just for accomodation. I thought that if I was on a cruise with people considerably rich, I wouldn't have to face the problem of "rude-ness".

Everywhere I went, there were people snatching food and banging people around just because they were kia-su, or rather, scared of losing. The food and accomodation were paid for. So that was probably the reason why these people were practically snatching food.

Even on the streets, I face such a problem. I've seen people cutting queues. It happened like this. I was standing in a queue line for a particular bus number. I was the first in line, at the bus interchange. This person just happily walked in front of me acting as if he or she was the first to join the queue. How rude!

Customer service standards have also dropped drastically. Just to reveal a little about me, I'm only 19 years old this year. So when I went into a shop with my boyfriend to browse for clothes, no one was there to serve us. In fact, when I posted a question to the salesperson, to ask to try on the clothes, the salespeople mumbled or simply ignored us. I don't understand. Even when people are paid a salary to smile and act like they are friendly, they don't.

Is the rude factor being implemented in people nowadays? What is making people rude? The stressed society? Or people have become self-centered such that they don't care about other's feelings?

Walking in the house naked!

2009-10-11T23:33:00.004+08:00

Walking in the house naked!

Sure it feels good to go native style and be yourself. Being naked is a good feeling. Especially for ladies, leaving your bottom private part uncovered can lower the chances of fungal infections.

However, is it right to walk around the house naked? You might think that since you live in the house, doing anything in the house would be your right. Okay, let me put it straight.

Normally when a person sees another persons' body, there would be a body reaction. This is true for opposite sex and sometimes, people of similar gender. What if the person who saw it did not have this normal body reaction? Then it would be seen as an obscene act.

This act is inconsiderate and the public can call the police for this. This is no joke. Doing things in your house might seem rightful to you. However, you still have to considerate about the people around you. Maybe it is hard to believe that people do not wish to look at naked bodies. Even people dressed in their lingerie or underwear walking at home can be seen an inconsiderate act.

This is considered as public nuisance and you might can into trouble for it.

My suggestion is to stay naked at home with windows and curtains down. You might want to turn on the air con to help keep yourself cool.

Public display of affection

2009-10-11T23:04:00.004+08:00

Public display of affection

In such an open society, almost everything is accepted. Openly talking about sex and masturbation is accepted in the younger generation. Then, should public displays of affection be accepted?

In my opinion, publicly showing affection for someone you love is not wrong and should not be despised in the eyes of others. However, this must only go to a certain extent. I must say that such displays of emotion may cause disturbance to others.

What should it be accepted and what should not? Things that have no effect to the people around you should be accepted. For example, sitting on your partner's lap and holding hands are not considered a hindrance to others. However, passionate kissing and touching each other in public may cause people to feel uncomfortable.

The older generation might find holding hands, publicly, improper. Forgive them, society. They have been brought up in a different manner and being conservative was what they were taught.

Before you publicly wish to touch your partner, be it a male or a female, remember about people around you who might take notice. You wouldn't want someone to call the police for public nuisance!

Love

2009-10-08T09:57:00.005+08:00

Love
Love? You want to know what the definition of love is?

Well, there is no exact definition of love. Basically, love can be:
- A sweet feeling you get when you're with this one particular person
- A lust towards someone
- A devotion of time and money
- Agape

These definitions are NOT exhaustive. In fact, many other people define love as something else.

These definitions of love doesn't seem so great, right? The Romeo and Juliet kind of explosive and dramatic love does not necessarily occur in every relationship. So...

Why do people fall in love? I shouldn't really say fall in love. 2 people come together as a couple for many reasons. For example, this girl is a popular girl in school. To get the attention of others, this guy would woo after this girl.

Another example, Sex. I have had sex with this one person. I want more? Yea, let's get together.

Others? Companionship.

I think you know in what direction I'm going towards. So people do not become a couple just because of LOVE. However, there are people who become together for true love. Such couples can last forever because their partner loves them for who they are, in terms of character and not in terms of looks.

Your figure is wrong.

2009-10-04T23:17:00.005+08:00

Your figure is wrong.

What? Figure is wrong? I never did know that my figure could be right or wrong. Does my figure convey non-factual stuff which is wrong?

Ladies. Gentlemen. There is NOTHING WRONG in the fashion world. Yea. My figure CANNOT be wrong. Neither can my dress, my shoes, my clothes, my hair.

Well, let me introduce you a term. Styles. Basically, there are many different styles you can carry off. Your hair can give you a naughty look, a sexy look, a messy look, a professional look. But it cannot be WRONG. You dress can convey different meanings, giving you a personalized style. This is similar for your shoes and clothes. Even accessories.

There are different types of figures. Beware. I used the word "type" for a reason. No figure is wrong. Logically speaking. There maybe figures in which you find attractive to. However, no figure is WRONG. Some people have a huge top and light bottom. Some people have an hourglass figure. Just because your figure isn't the type your partner likes, doesn't mean it is WRONG.

So how is possible to complement your figure? There are only 2 steps to this process - Identify the nicest part of your body and then show it off! For example, if you find your shoulders beautiful, then wear a spaghetti strap to show it off. If its your back that is toned and sexy, wear a tank top. If you find your figure generally straight andnot curvy, find a dress that doesn't need an hourglass figure to complement. Find a dress of a straight cut. Yea, straight. Wondering why? If you were to wear a dress of a shapely cut without an hourglass kinda figure, it'll in fact accentuate that figure of yours.

Start loving yourself!

Fat women are worthless.

2009-10-04T22:51:00.005+08:00

Fat women are worthless.

Who on earth came up with such a thinking?

Fat women are worthless. You think you are worthless? How come women of a larger build can find hot dudes as boyfriends? Take a look on the streets. There are couples like that. Why?

Fat armpits, a huge waistline, frizzy hair, etc. Are such things going to make you feel worthless? Appearance is only one part of you. But of course, it complements you. In fact, the opposite gender is always attracted by looks first. This is what we all call LUST. So is there a need to convert yourself into someone else? Maybe yes, maybe no. This depends on the reason why you're doing so.

If you're changing for self-improvement, WELL DONE! However, if you're doing it just because you think people are judging you and you score low on that examination, you're so wrong. Just because you think you don't look good, doesn't mean you'll never find a lifelong partner. You must be confident of your charm, your personality.

Basically, don't let others affect you. Stand up straight and walk confidently. Show off what you feel is the most beautiful part of yourself. Your smile? Your hair? Your scent? Show it all off. Show some personality and you'll fly high.

No one is worthless. Everyone means something to someone. If your boyfriend tells you that you're worthless, for any reason, kick his balls. He has no respect for you at all. Especially if he tells you that just because you are fat.
