HELP!

The older I get, the more forgetful I become. I seriously think I'm going to suffer from early on-set Alzheimer's! Forgot to follow up my homework, forgot to include certain details in my online purchase. I need brain food. More Omega 3 then, and prolly less alcohol too! Sigh. I'm giving up my love for my memory. I think it should be worth the sacrifice. :S

Kazuo Ishiguro

My new favorite writer.
In the interview, he talks about striking the iron while its hot. So since I'm still young and pretty free, I'll write. You know, who knows what might happen. Back to writing about Josh then.

Visuals.

Sometime 2 years ago, we were graced with the movie, House Bunny. A movie that speaks about how a bunch of mis-fits transformed from looking like weirdos to looking like hot babes. Without such a transformation, these girls were total losers in campus and according to the movie, will some how die virgins.

Just tonight and last night, I kinda felt disgusted by the social norms that we have all agreed on. Women need push-up bras and a huge shit load of make up, then a guy will notice them? I just think it is total nonsense. So if a girl was really plain looking, she would be in really deep shit.

Wait. I think I might have gotten a little too worked up on this thought. Actually, even women act that way. I guess it's just in our primal instinct to be so. Like animals, we tend to look for a potential mate that is the strongest or the one that can bear children. But as we so-called include intelligence into our equation of beauty, things kinda got complicated. Hence my above rant. So in some way I have weirdly asked my question and answered it too!

On 74E.

I thought while on the way to school, I made use of my meagre data plan and blog a little. I guess I should make it a habit to write, after all I am planning that possible move to London. If you haven't known it, well, about 4 years ago, I was offered a position in design journalism with some design magazine. Being only 20 with no real working experience, I kinda let that offer slide. Thinking about it now and attending classes in journalism, it made me realized what an awesome opportunity I had missed! Of course I'm not a time traveller that can turn back time, so all I can do now is move forward with a lesson learnt to grab whatever awesome comes my way.
I have decided that by end of this semester, I'll write to that contact. I know I'm 4 years late. But I should just give it a try. Wish me luck then!

Elaine's homecoming.

I'm supposed to be reading but I'm researching on what to cook for the dinner party I promised Elaine, Jiemei, Zulia and Marilyn. And of course their respective partners are invited.
I was just researching on recipes from Pioneer Woman, and I realized I should be looking at Chinese food. So, I'll make dumplings, soup, vegetables, fish etc. Maybe I should just do a 满汉全席. Will totally be fun!

BIG HINT

I freaking want! Whatever to me sounding like a spoilt child.

How to get Zelda.

Now here's the entry that I guess most guy will be waiting for. Well, after writing all the negativity, positivity has to come next. So here it goes.

1. DO be proactive. To me it seems rude if you were to talk to me on a weekly basis. I mean, if you really want to woo me, I like communication to happen pretty regularly. At least, I can get to know you better, and then decide if I would like to be your partner.
2. DO communicate. Seriously, I can't always be the one that does all the talking. I know that I'm communications student, but that does not give you the excuse for you don't to communicate with me.
3. DO take the lead. I'm attracted to guys that can make decisions. Even the smallest ones. So if its a place for food, don't ask me. Just decide. "We'll have Indian at Vivo later for dinner" etc.
4. DO present me with surprises. I LOVE surprises. Of course, not those shocking ones like a marriage proposal or to move in etc. Like seriously, do I look like I'm into those now??
5. DO buy me gifts! I'm a girl. And I have to agree to stereotypes that I'm one of those girls that go gaga when she receives gifts. Something nice and sweet will do. From a nice book to even Chanel jewelery are welcomed. Hehehe.
6. DO talk to my girls. Total plus points for that. And even more if they like you too!
7. DO be nice to my dog. Cody's actually rather easy to be with. If she likes you, it would be easier for you to come over too! Consider that.
8. DO talk to me with intellect. I know how to handle an intelligent conversation. I'm not just any pretty face.
9. DO have an open mind. I'm not exactly a typical girl. I write about really controversial stuff and I talk about sex. So, don't be taken aback by my conversation topics.
10. DO date me. Firstly, if you don't take the first step to date me; all the other 9 points would be useless.

Well, I guess you guys are now better armed on what to do. So may the best man win.

How not to get Zelda.

Well, I'm open to the idea of dating. I'm totally not restricting myself to meeting people. However, it does seem like the case that on my part, I don't get sparks. Perhaps a list would be nice on the don'ts.

1. Obviously. DON'T be a Steven Lim. He is a totally fucked up person. If you're him, it's sayonara to you. And if its Steven Lim himself, ermm, I'll treat you as spam.
2. DON'T be unprepared. Seriously. Doing a little research does help.
3. DON'T be inconsistent. Girls like to be reminded that they are being wooed.
4. DON'T go overboard with flattery. I hate guys that go on about how hot/pretty/chio/gorgeous I look. Hello. If you want eye candy, get employed at a model agency then.
5. DON'T be shy. Be a man. Seriously, then what's your genitals there for?
6. DON'T be stingy. Well, I guess I have been overly pampered in this department by my prospects. But still, you get my drift.
7. DON'T be to cocky. Confidence is awesome. However there is a thin fine line between being confident and being cocky. If you're so full of yourself, you shouldn't be looking into dating a girl then. GO date yourself.
8. DON'T be a wuss. Just as like point 5. Seriously, if you haven't heard, I'm pretty much a daredevil. Pain isn't an issue for me. So I would expect the same for you too.
9. DON'T challenge me too much. I admit, I do have somewhat an ego like guys do. So just let me win a debate once a while. Hey, it would be a great thing to see me smile.
10. DON'T judge me. Like seriously. I won't say that I'm perfect and I would practice what I preach. But what I would do is try. So I expect you to try too.

And that's the don't list. I'll write the dos list soon-ish. After my shower, I guess. Oh! And yes. Please read what my guy friend, Kenneth, has to say about what guys shouldn't do to get the girl.

I'm so happy!

My dad got me my dream phone! Blackberry Bold 9780!!! Mad happy. And it has been 2 days.

Coco Mademoiselle.

I bought my Chanel Chance at the airport en route to Bangkok. This afternoon, I just met up with Gu. We tested on Coco Mademoiselle. And now, it's my new favorite scent!
I'm so going to spoil myself this 24th birthday with a Coco Mademoiselle Parfum Bottle!

I hearts Grey's Anatomy.

Ever since my friend introduced Grey's Anatomy when I was in poly, I have been hooked. It's just like smoking. The first stick can so get you hooked. So has Grey's. Now, my best friend, Marilyn has joined the cult too! Weeeeeeeeee!

Darling, we are so like Cristina and Meredith. We love each other to death, and yet despite getting on each other's nerves, we still managed to overcome everything. Thanks for being there. :)

It's simple.

Since humans are social creatures of habit, naturally we will tend to cling on things that are familiar to us. And its also really normal that we compare and contrast all the time. I do admit that I may have been going on a little too much about him. Hey, letting go isn't as easy as we say it is.

Tonight, perhaps I have been guilty of setting the bar a little too high, after all my first date with Ray was so unexpected. Like which guy actually piggy-backs a girl on the first date? Or actually is willing to stay the entire night with her out while she waits for morning, because she had forgotten her keys? Of course, anyone can argue that they will do it for that person they really fancy. But hello? Date number 1? That's why I guess the bar has been raised pretty high. But wait, at least my dessert place at Old School hasn't been tainted with memories of him, apart from Timbre. Or my joint at Tea Cosy. Hallelujah! Or the cool yums at Vivo. Thankfully, my idea of a perfect picnic at the Botanic Gardens is still open. Even P.S cafe too! I'm also mad grateful that at least he has yet to bestow me with daisies. I seriously would hate the idea of totally hating those lovely petals.

To venture into the unknown does seem like a scary situation. That's somewhat the case with first dates or even letting someone into your life. It's simple. Just move one step at a time. Sometimes, people will tend to want you (or me) to move a little faster. Concept of a homo sapien: to be totally flawed. Seriously, I just want to move at my pace. I'm dating people now. I'm also being rather vengeful with my plight. And I'm also happy. I haven't been happy in a long while. People should know. I'm going to end with "oh whatever". So. Oh whatever.

I'm so happy!

I'm so happy that I decided to share my joy with the world. Or rather in this case the internet world.

Despite being sick today, a couple of things kinda chased the flu away. Found out that I'm better looking than... well, I won't be a mean bitch. Although, people should know that I can totally be one. Some people just have to settle for 2nd best. How sad for them. Any how, moving on to the next happy thing.

I scored a first date! Remember me going on and on about dating once the exams were over? Yup! First date tonight! Hope I have fun. Crossing my fingers now. :S

Weasley twins!

Aren't they cute? I'm getting dreamy now!

Life?

I get people commenting how colorful my life is etc. Yes that's you Loriene. Seriously, I like to have some mundane. You know how people envy models or actors because of the glitz and glamor that comes with their jobs. Currently, I'm sharing same sentiments as them.

I have to admit I'm an attention-whore, but to a certain degree. When I mean mundane, I do not mean that everyday has to just as boring as the next. At least, I would just love to have some consistency.

Anyhow, it's not easy to be living the glitz and glamor. Mad tiring. Maybe I'm old. But juggling parties, boys, work and school isn't easy. Sometimes, I wish that I was an old maid that works at the library and will definitely be celibate for life! So people just stop complaining how boring your life is!

NYE 2010. NYD 2011

This was my outfit for NYE. My alcoholic blood type top from Bugis, bandage skirt from Cotton, belt from Zara, the clutch was a Christmas present from Sian Lee and I wore black gladiator heels. My accessories were black drop earrings from Diva, Swatch watch and my Tiffany's charm bracelet.

My company for the last day of 2010, and also the first day of 2011.

Bangkok day 2!

Well, the day before, my dad had bought my aunt, my mom and I a tour around Bangkok. Seriously, despite being there the 2nd time, I have yet to really see the sights. So it was a tour to the floating market and of the Grand Palace. Mad happy! More pictures from day 2 coming soon!
