I'm going to become an ADULT?!

The boom of festivities has abated now that all 15 days of Chinese New Year has passed. Life slowly returns to sober normalcy and people once again start counting down the days to Labour Day.

As for this person, I will be entering the working world next month (which is kinda in 2 days time), and I am apprehensively excited! This will be my first REAL job and I hope not to mess it up. Finally, this girl is a little bit more of an adult. I don't know if anyone truly feels like they're adults. At heart, we're probably all children  playing make belief at being an adult. Sometimes watching adults you respect act like brats really reinforces that idea. I certainly don't feel like a mature grown up. But that said, whatever our age, it's always good to be youthful and young at heart, no? Wait.... what? Heck it's good to be YOUNG.

At this point of time I don't have much to offer (if we were to use society's measuring tape).
No money
No car
No house
No guy

But what I do have is youth (huhu reaching my mid-20s very soon...), ambition, and my God who is crazy about me. If this is the valley, there is no where else to go but up, up, up!

Last month, I was rather dejected because I felt like I had lost my passion, and especially my ambition. "Where do you see yourself in ___ years" questions floored me as I felt I had lost my bearings. But I think I see a vague hint of a road sign now. The road to take is getting clearer... As I become more settled here, I begin to have an idea of where I see myself, and the causes I want to champion, or at least be a part of. Isn't life liveable when you have something to look forward to; something to live for... To lose that, even temporarily, was scary and depressing.

First things first... I need to lose some unwanted fats! humph muffin top we will be parting soon.

valentine's day again

I suppose I should begin by wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's day. May you always love and be loved. And not take advantage of people who love you more.

Well yes, I'm flying solo this V-day as per the past few years. But no regrets or bitter feelings towards flower totting boy friends and ring-receiving girlfriends. Bring on the candlelights and roses if you must! I'm sure your other half will appreciate the gesture :)

Soooo... in a parallel universe where dreams do come true, here are the guys that I would date this Vday. Well... a girl can always dream... right?

1. Gilbert Blythe from 'Anne of Green Gables'

My all time favourite male character in all the books I've read. I don't know of any girl who after reading Anne of Green Gables didn't swoon over Gilbert. He was the ultimate hero... strong and dependable, yet down to earth as well. Here's an article to prove it.

2. Dimitri from 'Anastasia'

I think more people know about my schoolgirl crush on Dimitri. He has like... the nicest hair ever... for a 2D character of that time. Seriously... the way it sways when he moves... and so shiny!

3. Haku from 'Spirited Away'

Yeah Denise and her 2D crushes. I know Haku looks like a prepubescent boy in the show... but he's really this river spirit who is much much older than that. How he looks after Chihiro throughout the years and does so much for her out of love... even if she IS only 10 years old. hmmmmm..

4. Peeta from 'The Hunger Games' 

At least he can bake right? He's always making Katniss her favourite cheese buns and stuff. I think that's really sweet.


So yeah... at the present moment, I guess it don't matter if I don't have a flesh and blood man with me. I still have my dream boys anyhow. Although it's probably quite childish of me to still be doing this right? Oh well...

Happy Valentine's again! and spend the day with loved ones yo!

Huat ah!

So according to yesterday's The Sun newspaper, I'm an earth snake? supposedly very down to earth (haha you don't say) and relaxed. Ah am I? I don't know... don't believe in all this stuff anyway.

Anyway Penang has been and is very congested with people and their vehicles and then some. I wonder how much more this island can take. Well, for those who will be here for the few days of CNY, all the best and enjoy the extra carbon dioxide. I'll be up north where it's quieter. For two days anyway haha... it's not a long time. 

So just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year, have a good reunion with your family members and let's see how many "relative stereotypes" come true this holiday. 

"so what are you doing now?"

"got boyfriend already?" 

"got job already?" 

Those will be mine. Think I've gotten my template answers ready haha. 

Gong Xi Fa Cai! 

why are people so complicated?

Is it better to

A) maintain a distance by not participating in some social events and circles to avoid getting too involved in all the gossip and the drama?

B) get involved anyway because it's lonely to be alone and you still need to be social to be normal (whatever that means), EVEN if sometimes it gets a bit difficult to tell who's genuine and who's not?

Answer: __________________________



I don't think I'm very good at being "normal". But maybe everyone feels that way about themselves. It's just that we project a socially acceptable side to others so people won't realise how dysfunctional we really feel inside.

I really need to stop the bad habit of gossipping. Even if it means I won't have much to say anymore. Which is sad because I don't just want to have a conversation that hugely consists of juicy and probably judgemental stories about other people's personal lives. Oh well... one can always try.
