Small ways to improve your life
1. Quit worrying about what others think
Most people don't really care which dress you wore or what colour your makeup was! Besides, you can't help what people think. The less you focus on it, the happier you will be.
2. Stop trying to do your best
...and start doing as well as you can. Research shows that when we stay focused on the task rather than on what others may think of the end result, we actually perform better.
3. Balance work and play
All work and no play can make a dull person. We need time to play. Playtime can be solitary or with others; physical or passive; a sport or hobby. Take time out for some healthy play.
4. Keep an ongoing daily to-do list
We all have more things to do than we have energy for. If you're afraid you'll forget small tasks, take charge and organise your life by jotting down reminders in a notebook.
5. Let someone spoil you
Massage therapy is one of the quickest ways to feel good. Why not let someone else pamper and take care of you?

Boys will be boys..
I've had enough of boys for now..
Will you be the man who
can tolerate my girlishness
And at the same time..
Appreciate the woman in me?

Retail therapy..
It's not the number of items bought, nor is it the total amount spent..
It's the feel good effect after making purchases worth your money...

People have been asking me whether I'm still going to continue with my blog... That's a query which I don't quite know how to answer... mainly because I may not always have stuff to blog about...
Daily life revolves around going to work... going out.. going home... backaches.. watching shows.. checking out facebook updates.. serving food on cafe world.. Nothing exactly exciting...
Blogging about work is not a good idea due to confidentiality issues... And what I can share about it is pretty much what you can gather from the media anyway... So what's the point of repeating what you can find out from alternative sources?
Also, the company has set very strict guidelines about expressing one's opinion in public, and the internet being one such source of "public"ness...
Any interesting thoughts that come to mind? Well, I do lots of thinking everyday... But sometimes it boils down to laziness.. Lazy to type.. Lazy to share...
Things are getting complicated at times too... It's a dog world, just that at times, the dogs attempt to disguise as lovable puppies when in reality, they're wolves waiting to snare at their prey... In addition, the doggies are at a beauty pageant, and everyone is trying very hard to score the blue ribbon, or the congeniality award... Sigh... It's the same everywhere.... Some doggies prefer to test and see whether another doggy is a friend or a foe... Without considering the possibility that the doggy could just be a neutral party, in for the race, with no intention of winning any awards....
Complicated huh? I guess you can relate to it too... :p

Okie.. Managed to come by and blog again.. Haha...
New Year Resolutions.. Always a suitable topic at this time of the year...
I saw this comic today about new year resolutions.. Character A said that she has made a few new year resolutions for next year.. Character B replied, if it's so important, shouldn't you start now?
That's true.. Have you made any? I know I have... But I'm not posting it here... Keeping it inside me.. =)
Happy New Year!!!

Will Smith said something like this: Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
How true it is..
I've played this computer game when I was younger.. Where the main character, a boy, would do various stuff to earn "heart" points to woo the girl of his dream.. For example, he can go to the woods and pick a rare flower, or to the mountains and dig out some rare gem and give them to that special girl.. At night, when the girl goes to bed, he can "sneak" into her room and check her diary and see how many hearts he has managed to clock that day.. When he clocks 5 full hearts, he can then propose to her liao... Something along that line... Of course, if he happens to give her some food or some flower which she doesn't like, then you will see the "minus heart" appearing le..
Well, somehow, it's just so similar to reality... Everyone has two types of friends: Old friends and new friends.. Old friends were new friends previously, so I'll discuss that later.. For new friends, there's always this getting-to-know-that-person stage.. It can range from weeks to months, and maybe even years.. Before you can "level up" from "aquaintance" to "friend".. and from "friend" to "good friend".. And there's always this "plus heart" and "minus heart" grading all the time.. Will you say something which was intended to be just some sarcastic humour (i.e., "plus heart") which becomes misread or misunderstood and become an offensive comment (i.e., "minus heart")? Will you be-friend one person ("plus heart" + "plus heart") but because you were in such company, cause a lot of "minus heart" effects in other relationships you have?
Wow... What a tiring experience everyone goes through.. Haha.. Because you never know whether you are gaining points or losing them because you can't sneak into their bedroom to check their diary at night..
So... When do you know whether you should spend that money to buy something which the person you may or may not like may appreciate or may not appreciate?
One friend commented after I posted that quote on facebook - "for those who mind, don't matter, and those who matter, don't mind." That's true... =)
Last week of 2009 le.. Have you made your new year resolutions yet? I've got a couple of those... Hopefully I get the inspiration to post them another time.. =)

I know... I've procrastinated blogging for like the longest time.. Haha...
Now got some time, so... blog lor!!
What have I been up to? Well, I just completed watching Gong Xin Ji... Super shuang leh, watch this type of show.. Haha... If you haven't watched yet, you should try it! Woo hoo....
Work wise, things are getting busy ba... Although there's still some lull periods here and there, maybe like, one or two days then a siong few days.. But well, pretty manageable ba...
What else...? Hehe...
Today, I completed my 10km Standard Chartered run! Woo hoo!! Okie... I didn't run all the way, after the 5km mark, I walked a bit.. Cuz that bridge portion was up slope lar.. Until I reached suntec did I continue running... Then walked a bit after the water point, then ran until after the flyer, and walked again, until nearing the floating platform, and it was running all the way~~ 1 hour 40 min... Yeah... Nothing to compare against, apart from my 5km run in July (46 min approx).. But nonetheless, still proud of myself!! Achievement of 2009! Although... I'm soooo aching right now... =p
Along the way, quite a bit of people were taking photos.. With all the smart phones, I heard that people were facebook-ing while jogging too! Power... I guess, it's all about knowing how to enjoy yourself ba.. I think I'm a bit too serious lar.. Haha.. Don't quite know how to let loose! Okie.. 2010's resolution!! Learn how to be not so serious.. Hahaha....

Today I experienced a blood boiling situation.... One that really made me soooo mad!! Mad to the extent that I felt giddy, and I could feel the blood rush up to my face for that few seconds....
I try and I try to understand your perspective.....
But........ I still don't get it... WHY???
Haiz.....
Anyway, I coloured my hair today!! Woo hoo!! DIY colour... Using Liese's foam colouring equipment... Quite easy too! Hehe... But... Just wondering... Will I still do it again next time?
This time I used quite a dark colour, so my family say there's not much difference.. But that's the intention lar.... A more subtle look since it's the autumn/winter season, and I can also even out the difference between the black & the red hair that has since turned brown...
Mid week soon le... Jia you~~

As I was doing the dishes, I was suddenly reminded of something that happened ten years ago..
Sometime in 1999, I was inspired (if the term was right) and wanted to seek permission from my parents for a particular step that was going to change my life.. Or so to speak..
It took me a lot of courage and self-encouragement before I managed to squeeze the words out of my mouth.. I can recall that I came out from my room, along the corridor, and quickly said the words, while either my mum or my dad was going to the washroom during the commercial breaks while the TCS (or was it still SBC?) drama was screening...
Can I get contact lens?
Hahahaha... Yeah.. This year marks the tenth year that I've pop those small transparent pieces into my eyes.. I certainly hope that during the past ten years, I didn't do anything that damages my eye health (too much or too drastically).. But I know, one of the common "crimes", of which I'm guilty of, is wearing the lens for a far too long period of time, sometimes even up to 15 hours.. That's something I shouldn't be doing, and yeah, I'm trying to make a more conscious effort to pinch out the lens after I get home... Hehe... *ganbatte*
Weekend is here le.. Yay...
