Clearing the air

Clearing the air

maybe i should choose one colour for my title and stick with it. but yet again, it's boring to always set the same colour all the time....hahaha....okay, never mind

oh yah...i just want to clarify something like, how to say...eh...clear up some potential (i repeat, potential) misunderstandings.

firstly, yesterday's post, which is below, is just a random thought. it is by no means in reference to anything, anyone or any-whatsoever. right, so now that we've cleared yesterday's matters, let's start today anew.

oh yah...many gratitude to nat and xinyi for listening me out last night...thanks gals! what would i do without you all....hahahaha...sometimes although i don't see the 222 girls very often, i feel their presence everywhere...(maybe they really are angels from heaven) - love ya girls!

___________________________________________________________

i did 3 things today, which i have been longing to do for a long long time.

first things first, although i have a job, but the idea of slacking and disturbing people in december just bores me to death, so with the urging of my parents i went to this job agency and got a temp job for popular in the book exhibition at suntec (come visit me!) anyway, it's not confirmed and i'll be contacted only next week, so i guess we'll see how it goes?

so, in the meantime, I'M EMPLOYED!

hahahaha...

second thing is that i went threading again, my personal second time, this time it was a different shop. IT STILL HURTS AS MUCH AS I REMEMBER IT. but beauty is about bearing the pain, since it's much better than plucking those stubborn hairs one by one, i have no qualms about doing it. however, it still hurts and i'm sure i won't go for another one very soon. hahaha....maybe after december?

thirdly, although it might sound a little personal, but i don't mind sharing this. I've never taken care of myself this past years. like i don't smather ointments and goo on my face or put make-up, which i regret because my face is like totally - haiz. anyway, against my mum's wishes, i shaved my legs today! and they feel damn good okay...hahaha....the 满足感 comes from seeing all the hair drop off after you rinse of the cream...heez, this time, the excuse is for my cousin's wedding. i'll have to start thinking of another excuse soon. yet again, it's my leg...

anyway, despite the lack of sleep (thanks to my dad and the t.v) it has been a great both my mothers (grandma and mama) ditched me, LAST MINUTE, at home to have a mother-daughter dinner together...damn, and here i am stuck with canned food which is totally unhealthy. but hey, you can't have everything in life can you?

besides that, i've watch the t.v abt this talk show. the subject was about people being obsessed with buying branded goods like LV, Gucci, etc. this guy on the show said that he came across this couple who was so tied up being "branded" (forgive the pun there.) that they got L.v condoms too.

Bear with me while i process this ludicrious and hilarious fact.

i can understand that branded bags and apparels may give you some sort of euphoria and a sense of gratification when you own them and parade them down a street. but condoms? does make your partner and you feel better when you're doing it? the idea makes me laugh and snigger...i mean if it's not good, the rubber is hardly at fault, you know what i mean?unless branded condoms, like their other mainstream goods, also possess good workmanship, style and taste. hmm...even so, how stylish, tasteful (forgive the other pun here) or well-made can a condom be? to my limited knowledge about such matters, i believe a condom is just a coloured, sometimes flavoured or shaped piece of rubber. I haven't known anyone who has yet kept one after using it - unlike bags, or shoes.

which is why i find this hilarious....to my rational mind, there is simply no sense in purchasing branded condoms. furthermore, why do they make them in the first place? (O.o)

this perhaps point back to the idea of materialism. hahaha....we're all working for money a.k.a moolah to buy the things we want. sometimes, how many of the things we buy are what we need.

limited resources, unlimited wants. there's got to be a lesson learnt here - maybe if people stop having wants, then perhaps economics, like philosophy, can take a backseat in life.
