Something a woman should have

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..

a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....

a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...

a feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without;
ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .

whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table .. .
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...

What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

The irony of things

I just found out a friend of mine wants to open a beauty parlor and taking up a makeup course now. No, she isn't learning at my academy.

I'm not pissed. Just saddened by the fact, she did not think of me.

But no worries. Hana will be on the world map.

*****

almost 2 years ago, i gave up a relationship of 3 years. i haven look back since. No one fault it was, and i'm happy that he is doing so well for himself now.

i finally found peace within myself.

Horoscope


去年犯太歲,所以你在鼠年的上半年,仍然會受到厄運的衝擊,處事必需要堅持、忍耐和鎮定,以靜制動,直至立秋以後,運程才會明顯回順。整體來 說,你的事業和愛情都有中上之勢,宜加一點自己的努力,將運程進一步推高,就是正確的態度。雖然健康運欠佳,但只要懂得保持充足睡眠,有時間做些紓緩減壓 運動,避免進食不潔的食物,便可以將染病機會減至最低了。


整體來說,由於狗人在鼠年得到一級吉星坐命,故此你的運勢明顯有進步,但人生有得必有失,你在事業上的順利,是需要付出代價的。代價是什麼?就是在很多 時候,你都要工作至深夜時份,偶然想到自己經常要一個人孤獨奮鬥時,又會懷疑自己的付出是否值得。不過,這都是剎那間的自怨自艾,當寂寞的心情消失之後, 你又會重新全情投入工作,爭取佳績。


猴人進入鼠年,必須要規行步矩,不可行差踏錯,處事不可輕率或馬虎了事,免讓別人有機可乘,皆因今年小人當道,出現在你命宮的幾乎全是心術不正的是非小人, 目的只是要你受到批評,受到苛責。面對這些損人不利己的人物,猴人更加要小心,因為他們的目的不是尋求利益,而是要傷害別人,所以極難對付。不過,猴人天 性聰敏,話頭醒尾,懂得圓滑處世,曉得以適當態度應付不同人物,因此雖然有點吃力,但基本上都能夠為自己搭建不敗的平台。


今年屬馬的朋友正沖太歲,所謂「太歲當頭坐,無喜必有禍」,所以你在鼠年的一整年裏,凡事必須要步步為營,三思而行,以防遭到不測之災。假如流年家中或自己有喜事,則可以為你擋去一些災煞,但處事仍不可掉以輕心。由於流年子丑相合,你不妨多跟屬牛的朋友相聚,希望沾一點他們的好運氣,為自己化解霉運。總而言之,在鼠年中,你若能緊守「少說話,多做事」的原則,加上事事小心,自然可以無災無厄,順利過渡。


屬鼠的朋友在本命年的運程吉凶參半。既得貴人、財星助力,也有凶煞較強的凶星入命,在不同方面騷擾你。整體來說,你的事業和財運大致良好,但愛情和健康則稍欠理想;因此,今年必須注意自己的做人和處事態度,將愛理不理的性格改掉,盡量在多方面表現出積極 的態度,有助愛侶對你改觀。另一方面,今年你的工作量甚大,容易工作超時,影響三餐及休息時間,以致抵抗力變差。必須緊記「平安是福」,錢財只是身外物而 已!


整體來說,屬虎的人,今年的運程半吉半凶,既沒有吉星助運,也沒有凶星擾命,凡事都只能靠自己,所以會份外辛勞。流年的「驛馬」星是一顆不錯的星宿,雖然不 能為你消災解煞,也不能為你提升高運氣,但祂的遷移特徵,令你愈動愈有利,愈走遠愈能生財。虎人若能把握「驛馬」為你帶來的機遇,將可以做出一番不的成 績。


你在鼠年的運程尚算順利,除了健康比較差、財運有點回軟之外,基本上都有不錯的表現;尤其愛情方面,今年更是如沐春風之年頭。不過,由於今年特別多官非星纏擾著你,故此你必須要緊記做事光明磊落,不走偏門,不行歪道,才可以明哲保身,專心發展事業和愛情。


今年你的運勢幾乎是所有生肖之冠,正是求謀順利,銳不可擋,事業旗開得勝,財運亨通暢順,健康精神百倍,各方面都是一帆風順,儘管愛情有點輕微阻滯,但還是 不錯的。不過,做人切記「居安思危」,順利時要盡力求成之餘,也要為蹇運時做好準備,才是讓自己立於不敗之地的不二法門


對於羊人來說,這個鼠年可說是轉運年,事事得心應手,路路亨通,各方面都有上佳的表現,很值得高興。不過,鼠年過後,踏入牛年,丑未相沖,羊人正沖太歲,運程十分動盪,不可奢求有突破機會,也不易有貴人扶持。因此,你必須要未雨綢繆,在鼠年這個得運年盡量爭取好成績,為來年的相沖年做好不時的準備,讓自己在動盪的時刻也能立於不敗之地。


肖雞的朋友在鼠年是破犯太歲,易有失言之事,所以今年那顆「卷舌」星會特別活躍,時刻都會引誘你犯錯,以致你在公司裏或朋友之間,容易與人發生爭執,擾亂周圍的和諧氣氛。不過,由於今年你的命宮裏吉星眾多,既能為你添福添祿添喜慶,也能為你消解是非禍患,因此你的運程可說是十分平穩。此外,你應該要緊記「有日思無日」的格言,得意時應記失意時的日子,而且要懂得積穀防饑,以備不時之需。


雖然流年中,你的事業上出現了眾多不利因素,但幸好肖蛇的你做事有計劃,有目標,尤其在事業方面,做好抉擇後,你就會一心一意、勇往直前,而這種不屈不撓的上進心,配合「月德」貴人的扶持,正好助你大大抵銷了今年的厄運蹇途。


龍人在鼠年中,得「三台」、「金輿」並臨,意味財喜臨門、成就卓越,本應有很好的發展,但由於你又遭到眾凶星包圍,令你在各方面仍然面對重重難關,因此,你必須要付出雙倍的努力,戰勝凶星招來的意外和障礙,才能享受吉神帶給你富貴與財富。由於你的鬥心很強,兼且有無窮的精力,故此你的成功機會很大。只要你不計較辛苦勞碌,你將可以度過一個很不錯的鼠年。

My sec sch pple are smart

Yesterday my cousin asked me a Maths question which her boss's son has problems answering.

Cousin: "Hui, you no. 2 in class, should be very smart right. Do you know the formula for 1+2+3+...+100 = ?"

Me: "Eh, my maths cannot make it. return all to teacher liao. but no worry, i got very smart friends."

After 1 hr, i emailed her the answer.

Yes, chung cheng people damn smart. I got 2 different solutions for one question. And yes. Both answers are the same.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. drop me a tag if u want the formula.

Thanks to Yichao, Colin and Yingyuan for helping me with the solution. God bless for clever friends i have.

Political Unrest

Ok, being Singaporeans, we are generally bo chup about news happening around us.

But do you know not far from us, there are political unrest in Myanmar right now? Apparently the government has raised the fuel prices by 500% because there is budget deficit and thousands went on the streets to protest. The government has cut off internet access and foreign press to the countries. There are unconfirmed reports of deaths as a result of these demostrations.

One foreign journalist even died: Kenji Nagai (長井 健司, Nagai Kenji?) (August 27, 1957September 27, 2007) was a Japanese photojournalist shot to death in Myanmar during the 2007 Burmese anti-government protests. Nagai continued to take photos as he lay wounded on the ground, later dying from gunshot injuries to the chest. He was the only foreign national casualty in the protests - From Wikipedia

Read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanmar#20.2C000_monks_protest

Why I know this? Because one of the hotels I am in charge of is having some problems and in the midst of uncovering the reason, I stumbled upon this piece of current affairs.

I suddenly feel very concerned. How can we so oblivious when something so major is happening so near us?

Health 101

I had a health screening in the office. The person who measured my BMI and body fat says that my body fat is too high for someone my age and I have gained weight :(

Yes girls are obssessed about their weight. But I have a valid reason now. I'm really too fat. Too much calories, too little energy is used to burn my calories, hence build up in body as fats. Exercise buddy anyone?

And I have low blood pressure. Probably too little iron and calcium in diet, which results in dizzy spells. Think I really have to learn to eat more healthily.

One more thing, too much acid in my urine, results of Vit C (never drink enough water to dissolve it)

So it's more water, vegetables and exercise. No dieting unhealthily because it will result in yoyo effect. Lose weight fast, gain weight even faster.

This is truly an entry of randomness, i wish I can concentrate on work.

Neurotic Leya

I do not have a boyfriend now. Haven't dating until recently. The past year has been constant rediscovery of myself and people around me. I learnt alot about myself, but suddenly I turn around and realize I have very few males friends other than those from Hana. Which leaves only Bryan (whom haven spoke to me for sometime)

The people I'm going to mention anonymously are strange men who keeps coming up in my mind. Who are merely friends or even less than that. Men I've gone out on one on one dates (totally platonic, absolutely no romantic connotation. If there is, I would know) but somehow... somewhat... they just keep turning up in my head. So to address this problem, I decided to write it down anonymously on my blog.

Mr X - He is older (think have children, probably married now/before), extremely charismatic, speaks with an accent. Knows how to charm women, I've seen how my female colleagues and bosses get charmed by him. But he is totally sincere, witty and funny. And knows alot. And he flirted with me. Over email (as cerified by Johnny, not a fragment of my imagination). He is a my certified crush, i become deliriously happy when it comes to him. But no, there is absolutely no way this will progress more than a crush.

Mr Y - He is a guy with the car. Totally not my kind. abit on the Beng-ish side. He calls me 'baby' online. I conveniently ignore this way of addressing me (nonetheless my thoughts ran abit wild) I'm drawn to want to know him better, but not wanting to give him false hopes (no interest in a relationship now). But he's defintely the young gutsy one, willing to take risks and has the experience in life.

My Z - He is the safe guy. Took the safe route, have a safe job, and a nice family (I know his dad. humourous guy) Yes safe = boring. Just a bit. Maybe he's shy. and nervous, under the weird circumstances how we get to know each other. But i get the feeling, we have very different thinkings (about taking chances) and different wavelengths. Like not a perfect fit. Like nothing in common. Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions.

Deduction: I'm not ready to be in any romantic relationship. Maybe the right guy hadn't come along. Maybe I have too much considerations. Maybe I'm just too selfish to want to let anyone in. Frightened really. That all is in my imagination. Scared I will be rushing things again (like all the times before). Now I really just want to take it slow. Really extremely slow.

Everything negative

Do you ever have a strong dislike for someone?

Do you ever feel like it's easier to give up than carrying on?

Do you ever want to scream at someone / punch something?

Do you get that feeling of falling sick badly when your body is lethargic, the mind is half asleep, your throat is like sandpaper, your inside of your ear itch like hell and mucus keep coming out of your nose?

It's easier to go home to sleep than do things we are suppose to do

It's easier to be ordinary

It's easier to be forgotten

This is just an awfully random blog entry.

I am looking forward to my pay, because I really need more shoes and skinnies and dresses (ok the last one I dont really need. I just want) But crap, got Genting to pay for this month.

Reminiscence

The evening sunset rays from my office window reminds me of my old room in my Tampines flat. I used to sit by the study table which is by the window during my pri sch, sec sch and poly days during the afternoon time between 4 to 7pm. I love that feeling of studying for my sch work, or drawing dresses or simply day dream. It was my favourite time of the day at that particular place where I wished time would stop and I will stop growing up.

Saturday mornings when I was on my way to work, reminds me of those days when I had choir every Saturday mornings where I will take a similar empty bus rides to school from Tampines to Katong. I love the morning walks between 8 - 9pm to school from the bus stop. Love the morning breeze and sunny rays. Everything was easy.

I miss the sec sch tu-tu days where I had my nutella and cheese bfast with Astri, when I wait for her at her bus-stop before we walked to sch together. Then, jin, me, her, weijing and loy love going Parkway to slack, talk conk and visit the library. Sec 2 was my happiest sec sch days. Everything going well, and the friends i made then are still friends with me. My 1st taste of what friends for life means.

I enjoy those afternoons after poly sch days where I got nothing to do, but slack with my friends like Bryan, Yanling, Tash at the nearby Mac. Or tuition at my student's place which is near the stadium and my current workplace. My busy bee days started since then.

Now in retrospect my life is in bits and pieces. Pri Sch, Sec Sch, Poly, Work at Balestier Area with ZhiCheng and Persis, Work in Bishan Area at Bosch, Work at Orchard at Meritus, work at City Hall at RTP, Work now back in Tampines. I am in a place I never planned for myself. At 9, I planned to go Special Stream. At 12, I wanted to go SAP school. At 14, i wanted to be 1st. At 16, i wanted to go Poly to take Hospitality. At 17, i wanted to be 1st again. at 19, I wanted to go Uni. Everything happened not as planned. I ended up in Express stream in SAP school, I got 2nd instead of 1st (both sec 2 and Yr 1 to 3 in poly) I didn't take Hospi, I went CMM. I graduated and went straight into workforce. I went into Hotel industry when I did not find any media or marketing jobs i liked (wanted to go marcom in Hotel, so went into Sales 1st) Ended up now in a company that specialises in software for Hotels. Strange twist of fate. Not within my control.

Now I've even started a business with my friends. And I turn around and realize most of my peers are doing the same or studying uni or just stepped into workforce after graduating from uni. I don't regret the decisions I made. Because those seems to be right at that point in life. Except I want more now. A life I can only dream before. Just means I have to work harder. Time will tell

Guy or Girl?

Right or left brain person?

First, identify yourself as right or left brainperson:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.
Look at your hands. If you see
Left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brian

2. Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)
Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important), below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left
==========
Considerate, traditional, indirect type
can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.

Right-Right
===========
Loves challenges type
Straightfoward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly).
Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what whey want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left
=========
Dedicated, cold, perfectionist
Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat (or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of prides, and feeling strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with.
Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist, they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right
==========
Likes to take care of others, leader type Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate In others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature, and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group.
Popular among people. However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.
____________________________________________________

So which one you are?

I'm right right. very true, hehehe.

Dress Up

When I was growing up, I love drawing clothes and playing with Barbies and paper dolls where you cut different clothes to fit the dolls. I remembered I even did my own cut up paper dolls when I was very young and I love dressing them up so much.

So when I stumbled upon this site (thru Disa's site), I was so pleasantly surprised to be able to play this game again. I did the below makeover doll - Belle of the Ball and realized my little dream to create a Cinderalla princess:
