Packaging is everything!

 I was just browsing in Watsons after lunch & something caught my eye.

A BIG Yellow tube of sunblock from Nivea it looks so cute. Do I need it ? Well it's really appealing , I bought it.

It happens to me a lot. I bought chocolate from AWFULLY Chocolate even though I dont really eat chocolate just because the box is sooooo..... COOL

What's wrong with me ???

A passenger ask my colleague out during flight & she said yes.

A passenger ask my colleague out during flight & she said yes. We get that sometimes but this particular colleague is different. I know her quite well & she has always told me, she would never go out with a passenger. So what's so special about this one. We were on the same flight, so I'm very curious. I walk up & down the aisle scrutinizing him. OK not only me, we all did. The flight was long & we were bored & this was fun ....lol...

Hmmm... he looks to be of medium height, his hair is all intact (that's important) about 35. Before we know it, some of us we were striking up conversations with him as well. And before we even landed in Singapore, we have a good background check on him. But of course this is only according to him. My chief said we need to check his facebook ...lol... we all agree!

He seem to have many friends. Pics on facebook showed that he traveled a lot & is into sports. Lots of pics with him sky diving, rock climbing & even some showing him trekking in some mountains. As for my friend, hmmm... she's into shopping, high tea & more shopping. We highlighted that to her & she said, she's sure he shop too!

I've not seen her in weeks, so I called to check on her progress with "Mr Adventure". She said she's in love! Wow !!! That's a new & unexpected development. According to her, she has never met anyone like him. All the men in Singapore are boring but the new beau is full of life & adrenaline. They will be driving all the way up to Penang for a short 4 days break. They'll be looking for some waterfall & he's planning to jump off one. Do I want to join?
Ahemm....No thank you.....
This is all too sudden & exciting, even for me!

I imagine it'll be something like this? Wow !!!!

Do you love being the center of attention?

Do you love being the center of attention? Some of us do , don't we? Some might prefer slipping into a cave of some kind & disappear for good. Then the majority of us would be kinda in between. There are moments we would love people noticing us. And when they do that, we shine even more!

Someone I know is just like that, charming as hell. Also manipulative as well. That's my younger sister ...haha... She can talk her way into anything. She just did last night. We end up having to pay for her vacation across Europe. Not that I'm regretting my role in it. She has been doing so well in school & she deserve a Big Break, before she enter the work force proper. The whole family just want to do that for the baby of the family.

A trip to Europe is fine, BUT a brand new car as well? Like I said she definitely deserve the trip. The car... hmmm... dad said she has been driving this old car to school & it's not safe. Now that she'll be starting her first job after the trip, she needs something better. The old car might break down on her in the middle of the afternoon, & who is going to help her? Also what if her iphone breaks down too, at the same time? So many co-incidences all at once? Dad said it could happen ...lol..

Well in that case, she need an upgrade to the latest iPhone then. What if something happened to her in Europe, & she can't get us? We all agree she needs a new phone. By the end of the night, she has a brand new trip, a new car & a new iPhone. She didn't do much, she don't have to, she's just crazy sweet as usual & we love her & is very proud of her.

Alkaline water

Last year my dad bought a fancy Alkaline machine that turns tap water into alkaline water. It's not cheap $2000 plus. So what it does? It supposedly helps to neutralize the acid in the bloodstream, which leads to increased oxygen levels & higher energy. Obviously it's not been scientifically proven. But that did not stop these companies from promoting them as if this will be the thing we need most & it'll improve & possibly cure everything.

Now one year later, my acid reflux condition has not been improved, in fact it has gotten worse. None of us have changed much. So is it a gimmick? Sigh.... what is not these days?

Mum has been complaining that the 'damn' machine is occupying too much space in the kitchen. I'm actually wondering if mold would be growing ,living & lurking in the machine itself. It's a concern right? My sister said if it breaks down, it'll solve all the problems ....lol...
However, it seems strong, too strong!

Maybe we can just take alkaline food instead?

So when is the perfect age to get married ?

I met up with a group of friends 2 days ago, we were secondary school classmates before. One is missing, as all of us have decided not to include her. She's the one that's always spoiling the party. I've talk about her in the last post. She'll come to these gatherings & tell us how successful all of us are, except her. She has gotten married only 1 year after graduation, while some of us are not even attached now !

The baby came soon after, so she's busy with motherhood, while all of us are kinda enjoying our single life. We can empathize but it had gotten real bad. She had started making all of us feel really bad. As if we have left her behind on purpose while we go on with our 'glamorous life'. We end up talking about why each of us stopped calling her.

The common consensus is that, she made us seem like villains. It's crazy. Though she'll refuse to admit, it's really about her regretting getting married & having a baby too soon. We cringe at the thought of having to take care of a baby, a home, a husband & in-laws at this moment. Of course in the future, we'll all want a family of some kind, but certainly not now .... we are still young.

So when is the perfect age to get married for a girl? 30, 35? Would that be too late for babies? Not if you do not want a child. Strangely it seems, it's not so important for us, but if the other party wanted children, ok then no choice. LOL.... We seem to agree with that!

We have nothing against babies, as long as it's not mine ....lol....

Letting people go ...

I have this friend who kept telling me what a perfect career I have. It got to the point where I have to gently tell her it's not perfect, in fact it's down right awful. The long hours, the lack of rest, the pay etc... Then after all that, & also reassuring how wonderful her life really is, she'll kinda calm down. Unfortunately the 'same' thing will start again the next time I talk to her.

It got to the point where I avoid talking so much to her. Now she's complaining to others, I'm too busy with my glamorous life. It's been a while since I talk to her. So last night I called, to check on her. After badgering me for a bit, she sort of told me off.

Well I guess I have to take it as a signal. Sometimes you just need to let someone go. A mutual friend sent me the below pic, she was the first to stop contacting her ...lol...

I've done worse since my break up, or have I not ?

I've finally open the Christmas present from my EX, it's a very nice bracelet from Tiffany's which I love. Sigh.... As you all know my EX & I are still friends. So I texted to say "thank you & you shouldn't have, since we are no longer attached." Then he said, "I saw the bracelet, & couldn't stop thinking you'll love it, so I bought it ". Now I wander what will his present girl friend think of that!

Anyway , Yesterday morning he text me, " what is it I heard about this Hank guy? You dating him?" I don't know, I immediately felt a little angry- how dare he? We broke up, he has no rights to "check" on me like that. Plus Hank the guy that I went out with only twice so far (after knowing him for about 4-5 months) , is not as good looking as my ex. Also financially not as stable, so in a way it's like I've done "worst" since the break-up ! My ego was hurt. But Hank is a nice guy, very considerate maybe too nice for me!

Mel the colleague who had introduce Hank to me on her wedding day (can you imagine!!!!) thinks that my EX is not over me yet. Anyway I don't know what's the deal, but after a few heated texts, we decided to meet for lunch. I wanted to tell him off to his face.

Lunch was too elaborate, at a fancy place. It felt like a date, which I'm wary of. My bestie reminded me, the reason why we broke off, so I'm suppose to just be polite , tell him off, or to mind his own business, eat my lunch & go back home or go shopping. He arrived wearing the first tie I bought for him. I should have throw it away, when I have the chance. Anyway we were talking  & he has to go into why am I 'short changing ' myself with someone who's clearly not my equal ( meaning someone who's making less than me ). I shouldn't have agree to this lunch. I immediately felt like seeing Hank tonight, just to get back at the Ex.

I quickly finish lunch, tell him how wonderful Hank is, which I could see pisses him off. We parted , both angry, as usual! I texted Hank, arranged for dinner !
