Binge Eating

hello..

actually I dreaded today. Okay, I know u're thinking that it is probably over work..or my family..like what is else is new. Surprisingly no..although they are already an integral part of my life whether or not i like it. Still, I dread this day coz it is one of those 'i-can-never-eat-enough' days. And when I was reading the papers (uhm..ironically, i only read the Straits Times on Tuesdays jz for its Digital Life section), they had this article about binge drinking. Eh, that sounded awfully familiar except that I probably have heard of binge eating..but binge drinking? what on earth is that? Turned out that it's just talking about those pub crawlers who are on an overload of alcoholic drinks..and uhm..the reporter who did that article actually had to take note of the average distances between the pools of vomit spewed on one whole stretch of road lined with pubs...GAH!! And they're like..*bbrrpp*...everywhere! Forget about the distances! We're talking close proximities here! Imagine the cleaners swearing to death the next day and then thinking what is going to happen to the future of Singapore. Haiz..the young people of singapore...who'd rather spend their time downing in multiple shots of vodka rather than memorising their multiplication tables. Now don't look at me. I know I don't drink and neither do I have a single blood cell of political inclination in me either. So nope..am SO not a future leader.


Gawd..let's talk about MY future at stake here! K..more like...'WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!!'...It has been a long while since I last felt like I just couldn't get enough of food. Nibbling here..nibbling there...crunching here..crunching there..it's almost driving me insane!!!! Im like..k...eat a stick of biscuit..k now...eat a packet of biscuit...uhm..what else is there? *opens the fridge*...oh, one ringlet of cheezels...one bite of whipped potato..right right right..now what..oh..two three pieces of fries..and the list goes on! Im trying my best to keep this under control by taking one or two nibbles or eat half a stick of the long thin biscuit. But I have this gnawing uneasy feeling in my tummy that's urging poor ol' me to just binge eat or one big fat heavy meal!!! NOooOOOooo...!!!!!!! *must....con...trol......my diet........* I know the only solution to this is to simply 'sleep' off my hunger but I can't be sleeping like what 7pm in the evening! I'll be branded as a lazy..er...pink animal with a snout..by my mum!


Okay...even as I am typing out this entry, my tummy's hurting. Earlier on, maybe due to me getting caught in the rain for two freakin' straight days in a row...and sleeping freakin late..I got this headache that made me rather paralysed for like half an hour before I got hold of myself. I simply gave in but not exactly 100% in..that would be sleeping going straight to bed (am so tempted to do jz that!)...when I recalled that I had yet to get a copy of today's papers and today is Tuesday. I mz get a copy of it. I'm not exactly a computer geek but I like reading short notes on I.T. stuffs although recent issues touch on repetitive topics like 'gaming' over and over again..and didn't they just write several articles about female gamers? Not to look down on them but Singapore has yet to reach the standards of our American counterparts whose strength in gaming equate to preparing for the Olympics. Like okay, obviously..the ratio of the male gamers is more than that of the female gamers based on gaming history. But to write articles about them over and over again..haiz...for what man? As much as I appreciate the attention femaler gamers are getting nowadays...I'd rather read about articles on gaming strategies. Okay okay..don't talk about gamers alone...almost every week, a huge chunk of Digital Life is dedicated to the world of gaming just because Singapore is veering towards gaming competitions which give away very lucrative prize money in US dollars. But it's so sad to know that it's beginning to sound more like an economic tactic as a creative way of racking in the dollar signs. In the end, what is there to benefit socially? More broken families? More school drop outs? I'm not saying those who game seriously will lose track of their lives and start building their lives after the virtual world. But then..the knowledge to be gained in the I.T. world is endless and give me articles with good tips and techniques that will make me more aware of new developments and softwares out there so that in times to come, if there's a need to troubleshoot pc problems, like when the pc starts to act funny,we roughly know what may have caused it. Okay before even going into 'troubleshooting', oh..how about ways you can protect ur pcs with both free and paid softwares available on the net or in the market.


Then how about a more creative side of I.T. say...written articles on graphic designing or web designing.. I admit there were a few good articles written before of which I do keep copies of them after chucking the unnecessary bits straight to the rubbish bin. We need to keep up since computers have already shaped our lives as they become more affordable compared to the past. Therefore I can't imagine reading one gaming article after another. Im not a gamer..unless...you count me playing Sims 2..hehe. Hey, it's not easy k especially the latest expansion called 'Open for Business'. I mean every Sims 2 expansion pack is challenging but this one? Very challenging..seriously need very good eye and hand co ordination or you'll risk losing ur business perks and worse..customers. Don't even talk about customers..the staff I hired? They're as good as the display stands.


I know it's just an accompanying paper plus it's FREE and all but tsk...free doesnt mean you have to be all stingy on facts and figures. ANd hey, I still pay 80 cents you know for the main papers. Enough to buy me a packet of milo to kill off my hunger for at least an hour.


Im feeling so sleepy now and I can feel that my hunger pangs are almost dying. Hopefully, my day wont be as dreadful as this. Geez.I spoke too soon..they're back.

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...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
