Confidence

I really admire those girls with great self confidence who go past their insecurities and trudge on without a care about what people think. Especially...those big girls coz I am one big and fugly girl...and if onlie I can have their huge confidence so that it can help me carry myself well enough. I tell ya it's not easy being surrounded by girls of average size and there I am standing tall among them like a torn. Coz I am a whole lotta bigger than them....and in other words, I feel so 'giant'. Eurgh..hate that...and just as I felt confident after carefully choosing the clothes that I would wear..that would be SO me...someone just had to spoil my mood by choosing to be a whole lot nicer than me even though it's just a tank top that they're wearing...or that they're wearing something understated but they ooze self confidence like no other business.

It sometimes make me feel that no matter what I wear..no matter how good I felt when I first wore that nice top, when I tend to self compare myself to them.....I wish I had not worn that even though there is completely nothing wrong with what I wear. Just that I start to feel funnie as I start to pinpoint on my flabs...my big arms..my giant thighs..those things. I can't help but to always compare even though it's not a nice thing to do especially if it's gonna put me down. Still, I can't help but be in such a foul mood like I wish my diet thing has been going at a whole lot faster rate so that I look just as slim as them. Man, sometimes I regret being born in this family of 'big bones' and that I am quite angry at my mum for feeding me non stop when I was a child. Also, on myself too for not watching over what I eat coz I have no self control and I just what I wanna eat. When I started to gain and gain and then hit a midpoint where I felt like I was not twice..but THRICE my friends, that I realised that I am having a problem.

Would you believe that I have been suffering this lack of self confidence for the longest time? I love taking photos but it's such a pain to see whenever i take photos, I have to really make an effort so that the extra chin would not show. Although I dont really have to do that nowadays since my face has been less chubby after the 11kg weight los...somehow I lost my baby fat..bwahahaha! Now my favourite pose is the side glance and would naturally go into that mode since I never felt that I got cheekbones all this while..and suddenly, wham! I can do that alreadi. Last time I used to stare straight at the camera and would try to give this awkward smiles and head tilts so that I don't look like I got chubby cheeks. BUt it always turned out NOT the way I wanted. Okay, the cheekbones are still quite invisible lah but hey..it's taking shape and now I am digressing..hold on..okay..

So what do I have? I know I am not supposed to put myself down but based on the conversations I have with my friends....they also have their hung-ups which should actually make me feel better as I never felt more 'normal'. But their kind of hung-ups are opposite to what they actually are. Like calling themselves fat when they're skinny or hunkalicious...calling themselves ugly when they have chiselled cheeks...Gawd, I feel so useless. I admire people like Queen Latifah who despite her size, she's just full of life and she doesn't care about the skinny hollywood people...but hey, do you even see her in meaty roles nowadays? I don't know if that puts her down like How I put myself down...but whatever it is, if she does but she doesn't show it, I still admire her for that.

Then like I said, I wish I could lose weight faster and even contemplated on eating those commercially produced diet pills. Actuallie I did before prior to my birthday coz I felt so desperate in wanting to lose weight fast but guess what? I gained weight faster than I could ever imagine. Yeah..who am I kidding..on wanting to look like zoe tay? for all you know....she ate that pill and never touched food for the rest of the day..haiz..

So okay...long way long way lah...onlie thing is that I have to tell myself constantly that at the very least I am putting in efforts to lose weight. It's not an easy thing to do..and my heart goes out to the girl in the drama who is actually bigger than me and when she is pressurized into losing weight, it is so hard for her. For me, I am actually used to it already seeing my family eating delicious food that I used to dig in with them. BUt nowadays, I can just eat one curry puff while they have mi soto, nasi lemak malay cakes..just for breakfast itself. Then again, it is those first steps that are always the hardest.

But you know what? I still admire her coz she dresses well..she accessorizes well...that I actually often get pass seeing her as 'fat' or 'big' since she carries herself well. I Can imagine in real life she's like that too coz she does it so naturally on tv even though the eating times seemed exaggerated. As you know they don't call it a drama for nothing..and man what's with that cutie who fell for her in the first meeting?!!! WHY CANT I GET THAT TOO?! haha...sometimes tv can be a bit too much also..

ANyway, yeah every week I admire her and all other big girls who really dress themselves well...and also carry themselves well that put me to shame even though, most times they're bigger than me or even their friends but they are not being pushed to the side coz of their size. Their friends obviously see the other bigger picture which is their personality coz I know a girl or two like that...and yeah..like I said, I have nothing but admiration for them. I just feel good talking to them coz they can be funnie too and they don't quite care about what others have to say. It's like 'so what if im fat?'

Still, I dont want to be fat no more and sighz..even though it's less than a year sinceI went on this diet thing..i just wish i could lose a whole lot faster. Not coz I wanna buy nicer clothes...just that I want my self confidence..right here right now! So I don't put myself down any longer..no way!

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Ray of Light

The act of falling in love. Very subjective and it also depends on the object you desire. Well, if it is the 'whoa mama!' sort of hunk or good looker, then yours truly has fallen in love many times over and over again. But a guy who has stolen my heart for good..well...that has yet to happen. But let's not talk about my non existent love life. Let's just ponder over the act of falling in love. From what I have observed through several tv shows or even movies, I gather that well..not everyone is so lucky to have fallen in love at first sight. It takes time, and maybe it will even take boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend before reality smacks your face and you end up with your very first boyfriend (gasp!). What a truly merry go round. Hey, it happens. Because we make mistakes and we are too blind to notice how someone can truly bring you happiness by their sheer volumes of care and concern for you. In the midst of crisis, a ray of light shines through...
