I put on 22 kgs in less than a year when I was put on hormonal treatment for some @!#O(*@#$ condition!
I felt so embarrassed and ashamed that I avoided all my friends then. I lost touch with almost all of them as a result. I'm still carrying the bulk of that weight around. Tamade! Sticks to me like glue! If only my dollar notes stick to me with such tenacity!
Anyways, a few years after that episode, a close friend confessed that she and her mom were horrified when I went to visit them because I had suddenly put on all that weight.
Weight is an extremely touchy topic with me because of this. It's like one minute, I had guys look at me, and then suddenly, I had become invisible! 
erh...at least guys look at you..
i think i walk along my office industrial area, even the banglahs do not bother to take a look at me..

as you can see, coughing her spleen out, still eat about 5kg (this time not exaggerating) of CNY stuff.. and told not to eat chicken.. you see what happened..
maybe she's allergic to gaffer tape.. but then, if she was, she'd be dead by now
anyway, enough of this.. i'm going home
muahahaha....you gonna lost a lot of money... cos i am slowly moving to vege meals now..

Funny thing is, I've spoken to a lot of elderly widows and widowers... a few of them tell me of how they live on, filling their lives with friends and activities, but always thinking of their deceased love of their lives. Awwww...
But there are also those, esp the widows, who say to me, "Are you single? Good. Trust me, stay single! Marriage is over-rated!"
Chris and I were talking last night and we were like what are the 3 things we don 't like about each other and the 3 things we really like about each otherIt was kinda funny really. LOL
Makes us think again why we married each other.

And yeah. Nothing is permanent anymore. Friendship and relationships nowadays are taken so lightly that being alone, in most cases, would be so much better.
Precisely!!
I tell you, it is scary how some people can just shut you out and move on after they have cruelly decided that they no longer want to have anything to do with you. It's so abrupt, and so final!
And you're left wondering... what about the words you've said? the promises you've made? the plans you initiated? Don't you even miss me? Quite heartless, right? But I tell you what is worse than that - it's people whom you call your 'friends' who actually mock you in your moment of pain and weakness.
Unforgiveable!! -

I think the day you stop dressing like one of the guys and stop walking like a guy they will look at you too

I think it's stress
I never had such a bad outbreak before
Awww... probably a combination of stress and heatiness!
You did feast a lot during CNY, didn't you? 
I tell you, for some strange reason, the weather in Singapore makes one fall ill very frequently. I use Tea Tree Oil on any pimples. It seems to work wonders.

Only ang moh guys would look at me.
That's why it's happiness here, compared to the serious drought back in Singapore for me! It's funny... I dolled up one day and went down to Orchard Road. The two men who turned to look at me as I walked past were both ang moh's!
Local men... none. I think if you dress up, they will look at you.
But don't forget, Singapore men can be quite shallow. I mean, you listen to the way they talk about girls in here, you can tell! And don't pay attention to lip service - some people say the politically correct stuff, but they don't really mean it. -

Haiz... don't sulk leh! Not ignoring you... just trying to reply to everyone!
Your cat photo reminds me of Meiji... after I brought her home from sterilisation, for days, she'd turn and refuse to see me!
That was her way of communicating to me that she was unhappy with me! -

Nowadays, I've changed... for my first date with Fireman, I didn't bother to put on makeup nor wear nice clothes. I just wore a pair of extremely loose, unflattering jeans, and a shapeless brown velvet winter coat with fur collar. Later, when we knew each other better, he asked me why I didn't wear more flattering clothes for our first date and I just replied matter-of-factly, couldn't be bothered just in case you weren't interesting!

Because you two love each other and are willing to sacrifice and compromise.
And I don't mean love like many do so in school. "Oh. I like you. Oh you like me too. Let's go steady so we can break up a month later. Then I can get emo and sad for about a week and then look for another one."

My boss's friend just came downThe first thing he said when he saw me was,"Wah! You can work here for so long huh?"
I was like," Err is that a trick question?"
Then he said, "No la I know my friend very well. He is a wonderful friend but a very difficult boss to work with, but if you can survive here, you learn a lot." Then he went on rambling about youngsters these days cannot scold cannot say etc etc

Sigh... sitting here, listening to the OST of Taewangsashingi... the music is so fantastic! I must have listened to a few songs in there for more than 20 times already!
Some of the pieces are so sad, so rousing, I feel like
! What a masterful composer this Joe Hisaishi guy is! -

That's the only way to make a relationship work
If one partner gives and gives and the other takes and takes, it sure ain't gonna work

It's true! Youngsters these days cannot roll up their sleeves and work hard. A lot just want to fast-track their way up the career ladder.
Reminds me of that awful incident with the ah-gua old male student nurse.
He kept going around saying this nurse isn't nice to him, that nurse not friendly, etc. Hey mate, when nurses work, we do get frustrated by the patients and the relatives and sometimes, when we step out of the rooms, we curse and swear under our breaths and are the ultimate grouches, but that's how we deal with our work stress! Stop being a fragile pansy! Work with us, or get out of our way!Which he did, a few months later!
He couldn't take the heat, and quit nursing to enter Uni to study Engineering. The thing is, he's in his 40's, and this is definitely not his first career change, and he quit nursing less than a year after graduation. -
