To be smart or not smart. That is the question.

Well, as I eat snake in the office from the mundane workload I have, to read Holly Jean's blog post on smart girls; I figured, why not I write my thoughts about it. While being committed to Ray for almost a year, it is actually quite true to the fact that guys prefer "dumber" girls.

There have been incidents when Ray actually teased my bimbo antics. Ok. I may not be a straight As student or some protégé. But in my defense of intellect, I do have my street-smarts. Ok. I do admit, I wasn't all so bright about sarcasm when I was a younger girl. To a certain extent, I was pretty oblivious about my surroundings too. But strangely so, during those times I was hardly ever hit on or wooed. I suppose there's a fine line of how much intelligence a girl should actually reflect in her daily mannerisms.

I think its a double-edged sword for a girl to be intelligent. Consider this. If a girl were to be seriously dumb, perhaps think a certain star that decided tuna was chicken; you'll probably would go crazy just laughing your head off to the silly comments she gives or something on a much annoying note: it would be much harder for you to discuss your problems with. After all, you know she won't be able to comprehend the complexity of whichever problem you're experiencing.

Well, in my opinion, I think a partner should be able to provide emotional support to a rather intense level. (Seriously, pun so not intended.) Well, actually girls should all be smart but tone the intelligence down a few notches. I have always thought that women are the mastermind of men. Like that saying : "每个成功男人背后,有个聪明的女人". Loosely translated: There's a smart woman supporting a successful man.

I remembered my Five Stars stint. It's a family business, so naturally the lady boss is involved with the HR side of the business. Seriously, although I somewhat dislike her, she is actually really smart. She's rather manipulative and will get what she wants. That I salute her. Other than that, you get my gist.

So girls, be smart but not in-your-face smart. Pretend to be dumb if you have to. But always remember the ultimate game plan you have.

Well, that sums up the first post of 2011! Bangkok day 2 coming right up!

2010.

In another few days, 2010 will be over. Like over over. While I'm having Grey's marathons, enjoying my extended holiday and sucking on my Chupa Chupa, I reflecting on my 2010. Well, how apt life can get when I have just finished the last episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 5. If you know what's that episode about, you'll agree.

Life's too short. And 2010's ending in another 3 more days. Let's go all morbid and suggest that the world's ending in 3 days, have you told the people that matter you care and love them? I supposed I have. Marilyn, Zulia, Jiemei, Elaine, my family and my awesome friends.

2010 was a year of ups and serious downs for me. I'm not going to go all secretive about how my ex-boyfriend somewhat made me a 3rd party, which he did. And that's a story for another time. I realized the gift of awesome friends that stood by me during those turbulent times. I suppose then the Pandora's Box was right. Amidst all the calamity, hope will be there to grace us.

2011 is going to be another awesome year. I'm going to usher it in with my sister and friends. Enjoy a late Christmas with the girls. And seriously live life! So goodbye 2010.

Buble.

23rd February 2011, I would love to receive tickets to Michael Bublé's concert on 9th March 2011. Well, if not you could get me tickets for Eric Clapton too! Or better, Eagles concert on yours truly's day! How how how????

2011 resolutions.

Anyhow, I'm back on the singles' wagon. Apparently, my writes have led to a disaster to him. So right now, my aftermath emotions are high on pissing mode. So just let it be.

2011 will be here in another 2+ weeks. Which means I'll be getting a new phone too! Hello Bold 3 (or Onyx 2 9780) Ok, not much design changes from the predecessor - Onyx 9700. But it has way much better functions. Pretty much the Torch in a smaller shell.

Wokay. Resolutions for 2011. Apart from the usual weight loss and finances increase, next year I have a few new practical ones.
  • Study harder. Too much drama this year. Grades have slipped. So 2011, I need to pull my socks and get As!
  • No dating. Or rather, I'm pushing guys away until school's over. Yes, I may have a lot of free time, but guys, please don't try your luck. Once bitten, twice shy (until 2011's over).
  • Learn how to speak French. Hahahahaha.
  • Driving. Been talking about it way too much this year but no action was taken. I'm ashamed of my NATO-ness.
Guess that's the resolution list for 2011. Simple and short.

Full circle.

Somethings do come full circle. Yes. I know its not very right to count my chickens before they hatch. But I have to argue that with happiness shinning on, it's hard to deny the thought of planning ahead. I bet he would have a slight trace of future planning too. Marriage, kids, families...

After being apart from him for about 2 months, I have come to appreciate whatever that appears on my plate. It was not easy trying to move on from him. I guess, it's just me putting in all my bets. I'm not apologetic for my decision. Life's just too short to hold back. Nike's a really smart company. No wonder, even though their shoes aren't the best, they still make so much annually.

Of course I would be trying not to make the same mistakes as before. This time I'll learn how to savor the moments we share. No more gulping down the romance like a shot of tequila. Instead, I'll enjoy it like a great glass of french white wine. :)

I think I have KP.

What's keratosis pilaris or KP in short?
As long as I could remember my skin has got this little bumps that are kinda like acne. And when I scratch one, a curly hair uncoils out. I thought it was some weird form of eczema. I was writing my Com Theory paper but I kinda gave up. So I digress a little. Googled "bumpy hair folicles" and I got keratosis pilaris. I think I might see a doctor on that. Got to continue writing.

Get me this for Xmas.

If you're a sincere friend. I have always wanted this book. Save Me the Waltz.
It's the only book written her. Dad named me after her. Zelda Fitzgerald. It will be a very meaningful gift.

I have serious eye bags.

Well, was deciding to school or not today, so I put on a dress that I haven't worn since CNY. It's red in general with other colors as well. Anyhow. I used to look pudgy in that dress (because of the excess weight). But today I look skinny in it! Mad happy!

P.s.: I have decided not to school today and finish my essay. I should so stop procrastinating!

Sunday, November 21, 2010

Next month.

It's the month of Xmas, countdown parties and insane holidays. Well, got the secret Santa thing going on with the poly peeps. So to make things easier for whoever's getting my gift, here's a little within-the-budget list.
  • False lashes. Hello. I wear 2 pairs together once. And a girl can never get enough of those too!
  • Earrings. I think the collection is growing. Now I should have about 100 pairs.
  • Make up! Rather an eye shadow. You know Sa sa does have good deals. Or a single color from Sephora's fine too!
  • A hat! OMG. I have been wanting one since don't know when.
  • A mini bottle of Martell or Chivas. Yums.
  • CANDY! Guilty sweet tooth talking. Sticky has some nice stuff. :P
OK. I wrote in my tumblr a list too. Actually I do think that list is little materialistic. (In my defense, I just broke up with my boyfriend and I use material pleasure to kinda be happy.) Anyhow, here's something that's a little more down to earth.
  • A good book. I have already gotten myself an early Xmas present - Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita. I like good reads. Classics are nice too.
  • Shopping vouchers! Any decent amount is fine. And please get them from some place I'll buy things at. Don't be an idiot and get me Topman or Mothercare vouchers! -.-
  • A mani/pedi treat!
  • A year's supply of Allen's MINTIES!
  • Alcohol. Still very much welcomed.
Well, I guess that's the lists. So I'll be waiting 25th December then.

1 more year.

Or so. Well, that is the amount of time left for me to be stuck in school. Seeing my friends slowly graduating, I'm getting a little emotional and disappointed. Disappointed in myself. Remember just last year, I took time off for my internship? I wanted a different varsity experience from my peers and also to delay graduating the same time as "what's her name". Ok. I did managed to delay graduation and I definitely have had a way much different experience than anyone in UB. But still, seeing Jo, Farhan, Zed and the rest all graduating just makes me envious. Maybe a little too envious. I think its just my "almost" workaholic nature when it comes to the corporate world. What I miss most about working is the income. Now I'm chalked up in debt and living dollar by dollar. It sucks man.
Another thing I miss about working is the dressing up! OMG. When I was at Frost, I was wearing dresses and heels everyday! Which to me is awesome, despite the blisters and accidental cleavages. Plus work is fun! At least, to me, I think that at work, my work is recognized. Bad or good. While in school, whatever I write or create has not much commercial value. Perhaps its just me sticking my head too much in capitalism. Oh whatever.
Please please, let me finish school by the end of next year. Then when I'm 24, I'll be able to fly into career creation; in marketing-communication please? Preferably in fashion. Or anything that has to do with female stuff. Oh man. I think I'm just work hungry right now. Damn.

P.s.: I think my writing muse is back! Yipee!

Hiatus?

Am I AFB? (Away from blog). Don't know? Well, I just enjoy reposting stuff on Tumblr though. Anyhow, I have a little confession. I'm infatuated with Takeshi Kaneshiro. :X
Well, what's up with me? Hmm. I'm kinda busy with school work. Or rather I could be just lazy to write on my Bangkok travels, Halloween and my drunk night. Hmmm. I think I should. Anyway, my sleeping clock has totally gone wrong. I'm sleeping at weird hours, like at 3pm? Totally screwed.
On a positive note, I lost another 2kg. I'm so reaching my pre-UB weight. I can't wait to be super skinny again!
Ok. I think I got to get back to my writing. Seriously, I have lost my writing vibe or my writing is shit. I need my writing muse! Like now! :X

Friday, November 05, 2010

To add.

Oh ya, and after the Bangkok posts, Halloween and the "akan datang" clubbing date with the poly girls at Butter again! I LOVE Butter Factory! Sadly, this was taken at Zouk. Insanely squeezy place. -.-

Bangkok Baby! (Day 1)

Well, I went to Bangkok some time ago before school started and I realized that I have yet to blog about the trip. So day 1 first.
Got a super cheap flight on Cathay Pacific. At least there's food! And so much cheaper than budget too! Well, I didn't add in some pictures from the night activity though. KTV in Thailand. -.- Don't ask me. Ask my dad. He arranged it at Westin which we were staying at. Day 2 coming soon!

Sunday, October 31, 2010

Voice, please be back.

Short post. Well, I have finally lost weight and hit my pre-Ray number. Now it's just a matter of time before I reach my pre-UB size.

Hello Butter.

Headed to Butter with the poly girls after the PSLE week. Photo log. Everything is self-explanatory.




































Brain or Balls?

Remember some 2 years ago? When I was still single and looking and I wrote that entry on Beyonce's If I were a Boy? Wokay. Give me 2 minutes. Let me look for that entry.
Here is it!

Well, I kinda figured that my blog or my writing sort of attracted Ray.

So the topic question for today is "Would you date a guy with brains or balls?"

Quite frankly, I have always liked the all-rounder. Well, Ray's not exactly athletic, Justin's not exactly smart(?). Hmmm. Anyway back to topic. So which one would you date? The guy that's uber smart:

OR

Super buffed guys like Jean Claude van Damme:

Actually I have somewhat came up with a theory. It's actually (in my opinion) to date the buffed guys. Think about it. Smart guys screw with your head. They over analyze and screw with your head in the relationship. At least buffed guys hardly use their brains to think. Perhaps with the only possible set back that they'll just use too much testosterone to think. But then again, its not as bad as getting mind-fucked. Which reminds me. Philosophy.

I'm on CamQueen!

Call me thick-skinned. Oh whatever. In lieu of my newly single status, I have decided to take part in CamQueen. Ok. I'm just too lazy to create a blog post on my transformation from plain face to show-stopper. So anyway, just VOTE!

Here's the 2 pictures I used. Of course the "after" shot has loads of products slapped on my face and insane amount of photoshop for the win. But still, even at Butter last night, I know you want me! :P
Before

After


So have you voted today? VOTE Zelda!

Hello again.

Well, I know its been awhile. Oh whatever, not like people read. Anyway, if you do read ask me stuff on formspring. Even creepy sex stuff's fine. As long I know people read.

Well, there's the ad going on in Facebook about the academic essay writing site, which has seriously got my attention. Being a student in UB and one with a not to prefect GPA, it kinda got me thinking - in that case why bother studying? Well, I still do my homework and go for exams. Perhaps with a little the class skipping here and there. I guess I'm pretty much an average student. Well this site just made me wonder, with UB having such a strict plagiarism policy with essays and tests, are the "purchased" essays eligible at all? And the shortest essay is priced at USD$46. Seriously. Just sit down and write the bloody paper. With $46, I could club the weekend! Or get a nice dress as F21. Or pay for a good Japanese meal.

Check out what one of the customers has to say.


Well, he does seem as though he's part of the company rather than a paying customer. It just seems so weird. Anyhow, the site reminds me of that scam tuition agency.

Inspired.

It's been about a month since the break up. And of course I have had my turbulent moments. And now, I have finally come to terms with everything.

Well, being a person, it is a very normal thing to seek common ground in others. So I have found such an idea with Julia Roberts' new movie - Eat, Pray, Love.

Yes. I have admitted I'm not a very spiritual or religious person. Well, sometimes things are just there for a reason. But the reason need not be so blatantly in your face all the time. Of course that was what I learnt from the failed relationship. And so, I have made a deal with myself to watch that show alone. So, no one please date me for that show. I kinda need this one alone.

To my Daddy.

Was just watching this rather cute clip about how a daughter refuses to sleep alone. Since Facebook doesn't have any embedding function for that clip, I'll just briefly state what it's about. The baby daughter about 2 years old, refuses to sleep alone in her cot. So Daddy comes along and try to coax her to bed. Instead, the crying get louder. So Daddy comes up with this brilliant idea to lay in the cot with her in hopes she'll doze off soon. However, she gets excited because Daddy's around so she's pretending to sleep and Daddy's stuck in the cot!

Well, after watching that clip, I thought of my Dad. I know that over the recent weeks I have been mopping over the demise of my relationship. Sometimes I do agree that it has gotten a little overboard. But sometimes, I just can't help myself. And I know all this while, my family and friends have been very concern and supportive about the situation.

I guess, the most concerned is my Dad. Well, the dude has to work. And running the operations of a company isn't easy. On top of that, I haven't been a rather responsible daughter. I guess it's about time I start paying my dues.

Friday, August 27, 2010

Bye.

Until Monday. I'm skipping Phi 101. Jo, if there's a group, please make me one of your members! Bangkok later!

Saturday, August 21, 2010

So over.

After almost 10 months of being with Ray, we ended things. I have been writing in my Tumblr all this while with any regard to the love I share with him. I guess, I thought that this blog should be kept for opinions. Oh whatever. I'll just write wherever I feel like then.

Well, Ray's my first serious guy. It wasn't easy. We tried. End of the day, things didn't work. Never once did he cheat on me. So people don't speculate. Basically, he couldn't see eye to certain things that had happened. No doubt, we still love each other a lot. Life's just cruel. When you know the person you love, loves you back. The only catch, being together would be impossible. Sigh.

School's out.

Well, my term break has yet again started. Being a student does seem to have it's perks - school holidays.

And so I get to bask in the lazy afternoon sun asleep while the rest of the world works. Hey wait! I do have work. Dude, tuition is work. And so is ad-hoc employment. Ok whatever.

Here's the holiday itinerary:
  • Get skinnier/thinner/slimmer. Anyway I'll just need to get back to before I dated Ray.
  • Club more. Or at least once. Else I'll forget how a club looks like.
  • Get darker. This will coincide with point 1.
  • Grow my hair. Some how I am starting to regret cutting my hair. Especially when it was starting to look like Kim K's mane! :(
  • Save money. As always.
Yup. I guess that's it.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture.

Here is one of the in my opinion most inspiring lecture ever. Well, even better than the classes I have sat for at UB.

Thursday, July 29, 2010

I can't sleep!

Well, I'm supposed to be up by 8 and head to yet another work morning. But because of the enormous bliss I'm feeling now, I'm insomniac. Darling, I'm not complaining. Just merely saying so. :)

Well, I've just read Holly Jean's post on to who should pay the bill. It got me thinking. Ray and I aren't exactly employed and earning. So I guess we take turns? Although it seems to me that he's paying most of the time. I guess it's probably me whining a little too much about being broke all the time. Haha. Opps.

In the beginning, he paid. In fact I actually hassled him for a book on our very first date! Hahaha. My bad. He continued to pay for drinks at Timbre. I suppose it's just a social norm that we have all been accustomed to. When the waiting staff brings the bill, it's always or more often directed to the guy. Seems interestingly so. Again brings up the question on who to pay.

I know Marilyn and TJ splits the bill if they can. Or rather, his money is hers but I'm not exactly sure if hers is his. Hahaha. I do remember paying the bill on some dates with Ray. And actually to me, I think it's no big deal. Ok. That was when I was still interning at Frost & Sullivan. These days, I guess I try to chip in whenever I can. :S Darling, I'm sorry. Should have treated dinner. Hehehe.

Hmmm... Perhaps it's just me. Actually I think that splitting the bill on the first date seems to me that I'm being respected to be on par with my date. After all, it is the first date. And how much have you got to know this person. To me, it would be more polite if the date went dutch with me.

But now, having Ray in my life, to me, whoever pays doesn't matter. But Darling, not all the time I can pay hor. I'm as broke as you are! Hehehe.

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

Just before I leave for work.

Yes another annoying shit day at work. Oh well. Here's a lovey-dovey picture that has been overly photoshopped.

Sunday, July 25, 2010

Imperfect 10.

Today, despite everything, I still felt that familiar yet thrilling feeling that I had 10 months ago.

Happy 10 months, darling.

I love you.

Formspring.

Something new. I removed my tagboard due to silly people flaming me. So here's formspring. It's on the left side of the blog just about the twitter updates. So, ask away!

You could asked about my sexuality or virginity issues. Whatever rocks your boat. I'm not gonna get angry. Prolly just amused?

Saturday, July 17, 2010

Another feast with Bestie! :D

Just the recent Thursday, Marilyn and I hanged. Well, we were at the Dhoby Ghaut area hanging, waiting for her books to be pirated. And so we had our dinner feast at the Waterloo Market. (I'm not sure if that's the right name.) Pictures!
The cup's our passport to stay in Starbucks for free! :X
The Feast!
Seriously cannot-make-it Bak Kut Teh.
We love the Pig's Organ Soup from this stall!
Pui pui's dessert stall!
The awesomest tau suan ever!
