Pork is not nice

Pork is not nice

For a long time I thought I was the only strange person who didn't like the taste of pork. Ok la, I actually only like pork that doesn't taste like pork. (e.g. Bacon.. or the super thin kind) Hate those boiled pork and char siew types.

But just this year, I've already discovered 2 pple (girls) close to me who also don't like the taste of pork! So looks like I'm not so weird after all :D

Of short hair and stupid men

Of short hair and stupid men

As of last fri, my hair's the shortest it's ever been and I absolutely love it. Have an asymmetrical fringe too! Super addicted to the short hair thing la. It's cool(ing) plus dries so quickly. Only prob is need to go hairdresser to trim more often, which means tahan-ing a rather obnoxious fella and spending more $$ :/ And... my uncle the other day said, "eh, u going for the tomboy look now ah" =_= This hairstyle is quite diff from the uni days when the hairdresser didn't seem to know how to control the curls and vol lor. Doesn't look tomboy at all. Sigh. STUPID MEN and their fascination with women who have long hair.

Anyway. Kena nagged at by old man on fri for being an idiot. He asked why I seemed to feel it was necessary to be attached to someone (good) in order to validate my self worth. :-0 That's harsh. But a damn good reminder I think. I need to stop being so hung up on this nonsense. It's not like I'm actually in love with a super zai guy and for some (TVB drama) reason we aren't working out. So there's really no reason to be unhappy. In order to find the right one though, I need to be clear what it is I'm looking for. And if I am at peace with myself for being the way I am, then I shld stop being silly, like NOW. Not sure if it's cos he finally talked some sense into me, or my body's decided it's been moping long enough, but I've been feeling slightly different these 2 days. I hope it's a good sign :)

Been listening a great deal to my Company CD, and discovered a song that seemed to sum up the male need for the chase quite well. It's called "Barcelona", which really has nothing much to do with the song at all. Heh. Just to set a little context behind this song. The male lead is asking his gf why she has to leave for work. She's a flight attendant and her name is April. The first part of the vid is actually carried over from the previous song.. so the song only begins when the alarm rings. Sondheim is just brilliant la.



For those who are interested, can click here for the synopsis on the musical.

Btw, SH has uploaded the photos of our trip to Korea on FB alr. Quite nice! Will prob do my own version of it when I get the originals!

It's been an awesome day. Super overwhelmed by all the bday greetings this year. Seems a lot more than the past few yrs. Phone was ringing none stop all day. Must've been sthg I did right this yr :p

Received a surprise gift in the mail too. So pls see cancellation in my wish list below.

A big thanks to all the wonderful pple who sent their love and well-wishes. A call(!!) plus smses all the way from down under too! Thank you all for making the effort. I am truly touched.

Glad to have spent my day with family, and the old man. I really shouldn't have much else to wish for (other than gd health for now!)

Now looking forward to the extended celebrations! :D

Control Freakazoid

Control Freakazoid

Been trying to pin point the source of my recent frustration , and have been a little worried that it's the early onset of spinster syndrome. You know, like how some older ladies who are not married can be a little eccentric. Note, I'm saying some only la. Of cos there are those who are perfectly happy being the way they are. Not hung up.. like me :/ (ok la, for now only anyway)

So while walking home today, I came to the concl tt the reason why I'm just generally frustrated is cos I'm not in total control of things happening in my life right now. Like how I haven't been able to keep to my running plan ever since I fell sick.. how I haven't been improving at my game.. and after coming down with the flu, I pulled my damned hamstring. And Stanchart 10km is drawing nearer. =_=

Then of cos, I also ain't in total control of my emotions... cos... a) still in a relatively vulnerable state, b) I keep meeting funny people. Ok la, it's just one 犯贱男, and c) I'm still a bloody woman. Gaah. Which is why I never trust my emotions. Always trying to force myself to rationalise stuff.. and just do lah. So that ur stupid emotions can't change ur mind once you've decided on the logical path to take.

So that's why I'm so uptight lah. Always trying to make sure that I'm on top of everything.. that things are within my control. Then I can breathe (relatively) easy. I get very edgy when there are too many unknowns. Which is maybe why I feel my life sucks now? Okok, too much drama.

But yeah. Maybe that's also why my r/s with God hasn't been that great over the past few years. God can't be controlled. U can't control why and how he decides to throw certain things your way. Like guys who are just too damn similar. Or being in such a blah position at such a stage of my life.. Or illnesses... which cld possibly signal tt I need to take things easy? He has a really strange sense of humour sometimes. Sigh. It's just so difficult to let go and let God take over.

p/s: I'm not really being emo la. Somewhere inside me there is still hope.. that 明天会更好 :)

pp/s: I updated another item to the list below! :p

Just in case anyone's wondering, here is my wishlist for my bday this yr :p

- Bunch of Indian bangles (the silver/black kind)
- Digital watch with timer and plastic strap for running! Preferably red and black colour pls :p
- Arm pouch thing that is big enough to fit my ipod nano in..yet small enuff for me to run comfortably. Again, red or black. Never pink pls!

Hmm...ok so looks like my list only has 2 items. Oh well, I will add more when I can think of any.

Here's enjoying the last few days of being 27!
