superficiality is so prevalent in Singapore nowadays. i dun get it... ya, a certain degree of image-consciousness is important yet some ppl juz go wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overboard. one classical example would be one of e girls frm my pre-u sem group. she wakes up wen everyone was still sleeping and makes up her hair for heaven-knows-how-long with her home-brought hairdryer. dat's e personal thing and i dun mind as long as she doesnt harm anybody, but e fact dat she comes down half an hour late for breakfast and makes everyone make for her juz so she can do up her hair, is sooooo not right. well, i juz swallowed it down whole and juz told her nicely to keep track of e time from now on. besides dat, she said "applie" sounded toopid and silly and dat i shld revert to Elaine when i clearly told her e purpose of choosing "applie". ahh... she had to kick up a fuss over a mere name... but i took it nicely all e same. but e last straw would be proclaiming on her online journal dat on seminar night, e tears shed by e SLOs were tooo dramatic and uncalled for. i mean.. its not like we deliberately wanted to cry. we certainly dun look great wif puffy eyes n swollen lips, do we? we cried becoz of our efforts put in and paid off... but she juz couldnt see e meaning behind our tears. den dats juz too bad.. some ppl juz aint appreciative i guess. and this is juz one of e soooo many ppl dat i noe but dey're shallow in other ways la... sigh. i feel sad to tink of it. realli.
snap out of it, ppl. it aint doing u any good to judge based on looks. dun be so shallow... u'll get to noe betta things in life and beget more sincerity if u look deep inside of those around you. age and time will do monstrous things to ur physical outlook, but nutting about ur character will ever change even till e day u die. but im assuming ceteris paribus la... i mean, some circumstances may make ppl change their inner being over time. so do urself and others a favour. superficiality is not to be championed. im not criticising anybody in particular but i juz hope dat dey find betta meaning in everything they encounter. its truly sad dat some ppl juz scrape e surface n conclude dat it is/is not of good stuff, den dey forgo all dat goodness lying beneath dat exterior.
enuff said. today i went swimming with elaine n chaoshun at Arena country club today. e small was small but its very quiet since its a weekday, and we get e whole pool to ourselves!!!! great weather; cloudy n no sun but it was disappointing for elaine n chaoshun coz dey intended to tan. for me, i juz wanted to exercise so it din matter. spent bout 2 hrs der, mostly chatting bout stuff n all. at first i was quite conscious bout wearing a bikini in front of chaoshun. i did wear it in front of him during e F1 outing earlier this yr but i wore shorts dat time and he wasnt around me quite often. this time, its a full-fledged display of pink candy-striped bikini and flab. haha. but it got used to it liao la... and i guess its time to be more confident of myself coz der'll be more swimming n tanning in time to come! went to bath and pig out at BK. den chaoshun had to leave for his lil date, so me and elaine stayed till bout 6 to study. weeeeee, i managed to finish my chinese assignment, paper 8 drama analysis and started on one paragraph of my chinese essay. haha. not alot actuali, but considering its juz e first day of serious mugging, i commend myself for e effort ^.^ haha.
Primetime News Headline: Dear Mummy has agreed to sponsor my 30 dollars bikini! i swear im gonna scrimp n save for e next half of this yr so dat i dun hafta take so much pocket money from her.
tml going to town wif xiaowen!! haben met her in close to a yr, perhaps? wow.. we're gonna watch Mr and Mrs Smith, den we gonna pig out on stuff and possibly go window shopping again. hahaa. i cant get tired of window-shopping coz i juz cant wait to get my hands on everything! soooooo delectable!!!!!! but due to budget constraint, im onli left wif like 20 bucks for Bugis, Plaza Singapura, Wisma Atria, Takashimaya, Wheelock Place. bleah.. its Mission Impossible practically. i shall juz drool at e stuff outside e glass windows den might as well dump e 20 bucks in e bank. because..........................................................................................................................
IM GOING TO JOHOR THIS SUNDAY!!!!! WHICH MEANS MORE MORE MORE SHOPPING!!!! AND IN RINGGIT SUMMO!!! WHICH MEANS I GET TO SPEND MORE FREELY!!!!! WHOOHOOOOOO!!!
aiya, i tink im going crazy. i haben gone shopping during e GSS season in e whole of my life, so pls forgive me for being so hyped up bout it. anyway, im not a major spender even if i am going on a spree.
i wanna learn dancing at StudioWu. esp. street jazz and hiphop. i wanna take up Modern Indian dance too, but its not offered der. currently, onli True Yoga does.. and im quite sure it costs a bomb. BOOM! i've been harping on this for so long.. but mostly i dun do it coz of e lack of time. dun wanna risk my A levels for it...
