A Perfect Body

If you know me well enough, one thing you may  learn about me is that I don't judge people easily and that given time, I can actually get along well with people. Sure I may have the most aloof face on earth which may sometimes be off putting to other people that they don't really bother to get to know me better coz well, you know how people judge others based on first impression. I've learnt to live with that actually. Sometimes too many friends also can give us headache, haha. What you need are just a few gems of friends to keep for life :)


Currently one of the make up artists that I look up to, when I go to you tube or her website, is recovering from a tummy tuck and breast lift operation. While it's easy to say that she obviously is a very vain person, if you can understand from her background story, I believe it's her own right do what she wants to her body. I'm not one to condone plastic surgery and that given a chance to go through plastic surgery, I wouldn't go for it either. I know myself as not being perfect already and if I can alter, I think I will have to spend quite a lot since I can do up a long list as to what to change about myself, haha. Of course I think it's ludicrous to do it multiple times up to the point of obsessing over the need to be perfect. Over time the skin cells may collapse and you may also suffer from internal injuries and scarred for life.


Anyway, back to her story. I've seen her before pictures when she first started out and she was really big. But her determination to look good, not just by make up, but also physically for the sake of health, made her strive to drop the pounds. And she actually did although given the quite a large amount of weight dropped, her skin isn't so tight and is rather flabby and unsightly. That is why she spent money going through the cosmetic procedures even though never in her life before has she gone through a surgery before which may put her life in danger.


She stressed that she does not want to have a perfect body but just for once, a normal body. I know that we have to learn to love ourselves, including all the flaws and er..lovehandles, but there is always this nagging feeling at the back of our mind and especially for us girls, that how we wish we could have slimmer thighs, toned looking arms and etc. For me, I don't wish to be skinny. But of course after many years of adopting a healthier lifestyle, I do wish that my lower tummy is flat. Of course it makes wearing of skirts look more presentable. Although wearing the right undergarment can help to solve the problem, for example, like the one I'm wearing is not doing justice to me at all..haha, I do wish to have flatter abs. 


But luckily, I'm a very thankful person. From my first discovery that I'm 3 kilograms shy of reaching 100kg, I've taken painful steps to stop my unhealthy lifestyle to realizing the benefits of exercise. While I do hope to reach my ideal weight one day soon, I am thankful in the sense that I don't have to worry about not having a size for me anymore after I had reached the waistline of 38 inches. I used to worry like oh no, what am I going to wear if I grow even bigger than this?


So flat abs or not, as long as I can fit in my current skirts or even new upcoming ones with ease, I'm quite alright with it. I also know that in order to get a trim lower tummy, the exercise routines aren't so easy and I have difficulty with it which of course lead me to believe, ah well..I'm stuck with this bulge, so whatever.


But I will not go under the knife just to achieve it. While she feels the need to do so to feel good about herself, I do understand her position after years of being on the heavy side and working very hard to get the pounds off, there is still something that isn't right. I shall not judge her and I just wish her a speedy recovery so that she will remain her cheerful self and continued to do what she loves: make up.

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...
