Living Life to the Max

I'm feeling philosophical so shut it. Sunday, May 30, 2010

Why hello world.

It's been ages since anyone posted anything on this blog. So I won't be surprised if noone ever checks here again but heck.

Uni life is..hectic. That is to put it mildly. Studying just saps the life out of you. Like today, I felt so frustrated just sitting there and staring at my notes.

Anyway, on to more "deep" issues.

Dieting. I know, who cares if you look fat right? But that's the thing. People DO care. I mean, I have guy friends who go around asking, why do you even diet? Think about it dudes. Given a choice of a chubby/fat girl or a relatively skinny girl, which one would you more likely give a damn about?
Females diet because it's been ingrained into our minds that we have to look thin, to look hot, to look size 2. Even if we are totally comfortable with our bodies, we still feel the need to stay slim. I mean, if guys hadn't shown their preferences to slim women, we wouldn't even have bothered. (Let's leave the health issue out of this for now? :) ) Now IF men had preferred chubby women then all of us wouldn't have needed to think about staying slim, right? Wouldn't that be just awesome to be able to down all those lovely calories?

But anyway, luckily for us girls, we have begun to take a stand in this whole image issue. Now, we have our own demands too. Haha..guys must have relatively buff fit bodies..etc., hey, the list goes on for them too.

Well, it's a materialistic, shallow world we live in and who do we blame for this but ourselves?
After all, we're the ones who set the standards and the markers.
And I'm not complaining, I have no reason to. I'm just stating it like it is.

Ok i've been inactive for.. a few months now therefore, this post is gonna be long but Mel insists i write something on the blog haha so here goesss..

I'm officially a Uni student woohoo! Feels goood, but a little weird. Time is flying by too fast. It seems like only yesterday when we were terrified of SPM, and that happened 2 years ago! I still feel as though we're little kids sometimes.. what with all the nonsensical nonsense that we do!
Pictorial evidence will be revealed when i leave this country where no one can get me hehe (well at least until my next break anyway XD)

So far holidays have been great! First day i got back. Phil asked to go mamak cos he was starving. i thought it would only be a few of us and it wouldnt be that bad if i came a few minutes late. so i took a little nap. little did i know the guys went and called quite a lot of people who were supposed to surprise me. well.. surprise! i didnt make it cos i never woke up hahaha! I still appreciate the gesture though.

Next day, met up with the guys at one of our fav hangout spots, Station 1 Cafe. Which is also most famous for our (what jay refers to as) super LOL sessions. The foundation of a lot of teasing and inside jokes were mostly established there. Lots of memories! Pictures will be uploaded.. soon!

Also, we've been K'ing a LOT. Especially at Neway where we got scammed.. blaaardy. Only reason we still go there is for convenience and because it is the best place to relieve stress.

Went for bah kut teh 3 times in a single week with ex-lethians! Such a healthy bunch, aren't we? haha. Seeing as there was limited time to spend with the primary people from UK, Singapore and US, sacrifices were made.. i think i accomplished a record of most times in a row i've woken up so early ever during any holiday! Whether it was for tennis, gym, bkt, roti canai, kopitiam, ac, or simply to hang out at one of the many mega-malls in klang valley. In any case, it was still worth it since their holidays were so short =)

New Years Eve at Kyle house was really fun. Enjoyed the snow fight after countdown! Beats getting stuck in a 3 hour jam up and then another 3 hour jam down if we were to travel to Curve or KL.
New Years Eve before we went to Kyle's house? Not so much. Naturally.. our plan backfired. i still think it was sign from god telling us it was a bad bad idea especially on new years eve hahah!

Still.. gotta say I enjoyed my birthday the most! Particularly cause it felt really good sharing it with most of the ex-mates (both lethia and acmar). From start to end, to the day after. thanks to everyone who could make the dinner and also to those who wished me but couldnt make it =). It was nice to see we could still naturally click and crack up as though we never left school.

Of course.. the REAL FUN only started when we got to my house. and most of you know WHY! hehehehehe.. Ran out of alcohol unexpectedly fast. Shows how high we were which also explains how all the madness came about Lol! Due to the pact we made, too bad it cant be elaborated further. the rest i leave to your imagination hahahahah! I'm so glad none of the neighbours heard much of the noise we were making.. or reunion family dinners would be quite interesting with me having to explain myself!

Anyways few of em' slept over and we counted down to Sean's birthday! He was the first to KO due to exhaustion. Spent most of the next day at Pyramid and the night, steamboat, Sean's treat, then to Sean's house for his bday celebration & strip poker session!

Surprised Sam on her birthday, twice in a row. We had cze speed us up all cramped up in her myvi haha! And sam.. since u say you're gonna be ready next year, dont bother cos we'll just conjure up another plan hehe! Went to AC to meet her for lunch then back to JJ for bubble tea and a trip back to memory lane.

Mostly, we spend our time in btw. with tons of kopitiam, mamak, pool, bowling, arcade, malls, basically spending hours in gibberish conversations, the usual. Now, the last week before i go back to Aus.. and its getting really interesting >) Will update further.. soon. And.. i just noticed its 3 and i was supposed to be asleep 2 hours ago so Cze and Sean can wake me up for bkt in the morning XD!!! crap.. Ciao!!

Bored and in need of long words. Monday, January 18, 2010

Yes, precisely as stated in the title of my post. I am indeed overcomed by an evil thing called boredom and in great need of stringing long words together. In other words, I am definitely not suffering from writers' block and I miss writing and composition.

So here is a warning, if you have absolutely no intention of reading such a long post, then don't. I'm not expecting everyone who chances upon this blog to read it and frankly, I don't even care if you do or don't. I just needed a place to put my thoughts to words. Every painter need canvas to paint on. So this is my canvas.


Where in the world does a guy such as Ji Ho actually exist? For those who have absolutely no idea who I'm talking about, imagine a guy, a guy who treats the girl that he likes like a perfect gentleman, regardless of the fact that the girl has absolutely no intention of returning his affections. He is a saint. He slices her food into smaller pieces so that it will be easier for her to eat. And in my general opinion, no guy will ever be this way towards a girl he likes but unfortunately, does not feel the same way about him. Of course, there will be guys who will try initially, I am not doubting them, but reality will sooner or later get the better of them and make them realise that it is an absolute waste of time to be fawning over a girl who has no intention and has already made it clear that she will never return his affections.

Real men of the real world are not that way. Frankly, it does not even bother me that such a Prince Charming does not exist. What I do find amusing is how some women of the world seem to think that such a man does exist. The idea of Prince Charming certainly exists and it is that very idea that these women are in love with. We all have our ideas of our own Prince Charming. Women are just creatures with imagination that are frankly too big for our own good. So yes, we all have our versions of Prince Charming but if it is one kind of guy that I don't approve of, it is a guy such as this. But then again, even our own versions of The Perfect Guy does not exist. I mean, we can come close to perfection but we can never actually get perfection.

Huh. How did me talking about Boys Over Flowers end up in some philosophical talk about Prince Charmings. Anyway, apologies to those who do not agree with me and my general thoughts and ideas. *shrug*

Movies Saturday, January 16, 2010

So in the past two days, I've watched a considerably good amount of movies (by my standards anyway).

1. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (this was quite good. About the Nazis and Jews)
2. The Fog (not a fan of horror)
3. When Harry Met Sally (the typical love story)
4. Blades of Glory (haha..i just love this show)
5. Legends of the Fall (this was good. Brad Pitt was good. But his life was pathetically sad, having all the people about him dying)
6. An Interview with a Vampire (yes..again..Brad Pitt + Tom Cruise = goooood)
