"Living Each Single Day"

I've mentioned before that I love watching this show called Please Like Me from Australia and yah, while I get annoyed at times by the titular character, I actually kinda feel that I'm quite like him. Like here's a guy who is hot, sweet and pretty much interested in you and your life such as your friends and family. But I would understand Josh's position because this guy is like the go-getter kind like he doesn't waste time showing his interest which can be quite intense for some people who are, well, are not really forth front in terms of showing love and affection. Just look at me, getting a hug from a friend, may me shriek..haha.  Still, does this mean I just let go of this one precious gem who likes me for who I am, doesn't care if my personal appearance is not as hot as him, or if I am a bit weird at times, because he wants to get to know me, both the best and the worse side of him. All together now....awwwwww.... I mean such guys are really i...

I used to wonder how some girls practically get guys pretty easily like after a break up. I couldn't even find one decent guy that have the slightest interest in me..haha. But you know what, I don't let that thought get me. To me, I have my own personal growth issues to work on and also, the universe is simply responding to my inner thoughts. I don't think I am in a good position to pursue a relationship which is hard to explain here. But it's still something that I am open with in the sense that opportunities may present itself, whether I like it or not, as part of life, so I'll just deal with what is coming. But I'm not here to talk about my sorry state of love life. I've learn that I should not entertain thoughts like 'nobody wants me' or 'I'm not slim enough' because I've seen several times how girls even bigger than me snagged a boyfriend who is on the lower weight scale. Believe it or not, it is not that difficult to get good ...

So I finally established the fact that the guy whom I suspected might be crushing on me, has children. Okay I don't know if he has one, or two or the fact that he is married but all I know is that I am cleared. I know you're thinking what is the big deal like what is wrong in him liking me. Nothing wrong, but it does seem awkward for someone to be interested in me especially if I don't have any interest in the person although I am trying to be more open minded a bit this year in order to make new guy friends. However, I will have to cross out chatting because at some point I chat so much in my younger days that I am put off by the idea of chatting..haha. I might give it a go, one day eventually, but I guess I have chatted with so many kinds of people, even met them to some extent, so I'm like yah, I'm so over this. But back to this false assumption that this guy is interested in me because he bought breakfast for me only. Where does the assumption come up in the...

I pondered over this issue recently this week if I am willing to bypass physical unattractiveness, according to me, versus the charming and sweet personality. What stirred this kind of thoughts? Well, read on to find out. LOL, like some shameless promotion. Anyway, the story started like this. Last week, I helped a colleague from the secondary school who came down with her Admin Manager or AM to key in the budget because this was her first time. I did once before and my boss nowadays always assume that I know everything or if I don't know, I can find out easily. Hrmph. So yah, before they came down I studied the workbook from the course I attended previously because I don't think I want to teach them the wrong things. I helped the AM retrieve some files for him to study while waiting for my colleague to key to study some things because he was pretty new. Then, after that he tried to make small talk with me asking if I ever go up to the secondary school to try their cafeteri...

After a long period of dry spell, the shopping spirit in me wakes up and I've been buying quite a number of things lately namely makeup, clothes, shoes and bags. Shoes, I've bought from a previous Johor trip and so far, I've worn one pair. Knowing me, I aimed for the sandals first because my current one is beyond recognition. As much as I thought that I've bought quite a number, let's say they don't add up to be that much. Later I will be doing a pictorial blog post on the things I've bought and also the crazy experience I went through with the much anticipated Charles and Keith warehouse sales. Anyway, I'm officially done with shopping until December because that is when the bonus crunch will come in and so within these next two months, I will concentrate on saving, paying off my bills and debts and also trying to earn money by concentrating on my online shop. But I won't say it is an end all shopping pursuit because sometimes when there is a g...

At last, after more than one and a half year...they're finally together! But then, this being a soap drama, there will be MORE drama later..ha! Anyway, you thought that this title refers to me eh? ha..not really. I may be wrong but I guess no matter how much confidence someone may exude, there is always this glimmer of thought that hey, we're not good enough. It sorta impacts me at times because when I read stuffs about couples or get to know them through video posts or what and then I feel, well I'm not as good as her. She may not be the slimmest person around but she has such a great sense of humour and personality. There are so many qualities that are attractive about her and I'm just not as good as her. Hence, my often silly thoughts that I'm not good enough for anyone and the fact that I don't seem to attract any guys is a clear indication that I'm...just not good enough. But then I thought again that some things take time to happen. Perhaps I...

I know this is going to sound a little bit silly but a guy who is too 'cocky'..which basically means too overconfident..now now don't get the wrong idea...or a guy who is just too smooth with his words and trying to razzle dazzle you with sweet words, they don't impress me. I also know that well, generally when guys want to woo girls they put on their best charms. But when they start to act differently when around you especially after they know they have managed to capture your undivided attention, that's when I find it irritating especially when they have moved on to the next target. These kind of guys will end up loners because they actually become unhappy inside as they just don't know what they want in a girl. Sure they want attention and they want some sort of ego boost to convince themselves that they are capable of charming girls. But at the end of the day, as they move on from one girl to another, who has truly captured his heart? Most girls are just...

I thought I would do a quick post before I retire to bed. I just watched a simple but very sweet marriage proposal between two unlikely people proving the notion that love knows no boundaries. I know they will probably get a lot of flak for it especially those who have nothing better to say than say cruel words but whatever it is, this is a couple who is truly in love.  Anyway, I'm not here to talk about my idea of a marriage proposal. I wouldn't think that I am the marrying sort and it has nothing to do with how I look and how unsatisfied I am with it. I sincerely believe that if a person loves you, he or she should love you for who you are and not whether you are fab looking or has the most impressive personal background. Nobody is perfect and if the person is willing to accept you, flaws and all, love goes beyond race and everything else. My friend though, thinks otherwise. She keeps insisting that I get married so that I have someone to take care of me and my family. Wh...

Whenever one of my friends talk about me whether I want to get married..I cringe. Why? I think she's pretty biased in her opinions. Well I am not that educated as in I don't have a degree and hence I am not capable of earning enough moolah so I need to get married and get a man basically to support me. For her, she is financially independent so it is 'okay' for her not to get married. Honestly that is..what the British term it as...bullocks. Sometimes I think well educated people talk the most rubbish..haha..mostly because they're so studious and not pretty street smart. They go by the books and sometimes they don't see the big picture and may choose to believe in stereotypes. Look, I don't like to judge people and I can be wrong but I think that is pretty biased, no?  Every girl, whether they have a degree or not, is capable of falling in love. In fact, every girl, even if she is denial mode, wants to be loved and pampered despite many of us being cap...

Have you heard of the song Love Changes Everything? It's an old song but I kinda agree with the title. I believe it does and a majority of it is that love can change a person to be better, more tolerant and more loving. I've watched many dramas and even movies where a character was so etched in his narrow minded viewpoint that it took love, patience and courage from someone else to change them. And the outcome is the start of a beautiful friendship or even relationship. So would you change for love or would you rather stick to what you think is right despite them being wrong? To each its own I guess. What is important is that when loves come knocking, you should be more open minded and think about whether you want to be happy or you want to be stuck in your own land where you have this sorta gung ho attitude, but inside..you are a complete wreck and crave for some lovin'. But love is not without its pitfalls. Some girls may prefer not being stuck in a relationship and...

It's amazing how being in love can change a person. For the longest time after a heart has been broken, it is really hard to get back on track. You keep thinking what went wrong and as women, we tend to blame ourselves if things don't go right like it is our fault, even though it may not be. But when we're in love, it's like the moon and the stars are shining on us. From wearing black all the time to wearing coloured clothes that bring out the colour in your eyes. We do anything to bring out the best in us and to impress the potential love interest. Then when we find ourselves truly in love and when we are loved back, it's like we feel that we have accomplished something. We just change for the better. Life is sweeter and we that we are breathing in the sweet sweet love in the air. Of course I'm merely talking about the good side of love. There are of course girls who get involved in unhealthy relationships but they continue with them either because they t...

If you read my blogs, you will know that I've never been on a date for many MANY years except during my teens when I was just well..getting to know guys and that was about it. Adulthood? Nada. I can't deny that first dates can be rather nerve wrecking from picking out what to wear, what make up to put on and whether you can come up with enough topics to talk about that will keep him interested. I picked up some tips from this magazine that I got for free for singletons like me who work in the civil service. Thought I would share with you as well as giving some tips of my own. First of all, score a date. You can go on group dates and if you want to be a little bit more comfortable in such group dates, bring along a friend at least. Make new friends in the groups and if you catch one that you fancy in the group, waste no time in getting to know him. Because basically interest will wane over time so while it is still 'hot', grab it girl!  Okay if you are too shy fo...

I am not finding one but what the heck, I can talk about it. My friend is in dilemma because she is at the brink of giving up hope when it comes to true love. For someone like her, I am sure she is capable of doing so but I guess sometimes, you just need a bit of gusto and just er..go for it if you find someone that you truly like and you don't want any other girls having their paw on him BUT you. Still, it's easier said than done. I have watched many soap dramas (as I'm sure you know that by now) and I am always amazed how two people who CANNOT stand each other then suddenly finding themselves not being able to be apart. Or someone from years ago rejected your love and then years later, try to track you down to say that actually, he does have feelings for you but just wasn't sure about it...until now. We always think that cheating is bad and I do not promote it. But what if, you don't find yourself fulfilled in this existing relationship of yours and then com...

As you know from my blog, I have been single for the longest time eva! Infact, I never actually had a boyfriend, not coz I don't get to have guys going up to say hi or anything, though I secretly wish it's someone I would actually wanna say hi back :S. But then at times, you have to actually have an open mind and not think too much about it and just accept an invitation with a guy whom you think that you can't actually be together but hey, nothing wrong in being friends, right? And then like what my friend says, who knows that guy friend of yours will actually lead you to know more guys and then hey, next thing you know, you will be holding hands with a special someone :) While having gal pals are great, it's a different feeling when you are with a guy. You get to talk about things you don't normally talk about with your gal pals, which may mostly consist of guys and fashion, for instance. I'm still waiting for such opportunity though. I know I'm a litt...

Get yourself a new man within one month of the year 2011. Serious! Honestly, it can happen if we are willing to take a bold stand and make some tweaks to our current lifestyle and outlook on life so that you can truly bag a good deal man. Now even if you are a sceptic, there are some good tips that can help you change your life especially for us young women.  I've recently read an article on bagging a man in 28 days from Cleo (Feb issue 2010) but I'm not going to put the article here wholesale. I just want to share with you some fun bits based on that magazine as well as from my own personal experiences. As far as you know, I'm still single but from what I've observed, it's not that hard to bag a man if you are really interested in putting yourself forth in the possibility of getting yourself at least a date with a guy whom you have shown interest in. Here goes! KNOW WHAT YOU WANT IN A MAN I do a mental note of what kind of guys I want to date though I...

I can't wait to get my new credit card. It will be an actual credit card and not the other lame debit & credit card though admittedly, it has helped me in terms of paying the bills in advance though these greedy people, once you pay, ask you to pay even more. That's when I start to struggle.  Anyway, that card is just a welcome addition to my wallet, which is pretty devoid of cards save for my identification card and ATM card. That aside, I got the Christmas presents ready! I got them all in one shot from this shop at Far East Plaza that sells mostly budget bags. Of course when I say budget, it's not like they're in the best workmanship. Like i justified to my mum, it's just a Christmas present and I don't even celebrate Christmas and I don't have to make much efforts unlike a birthday present. Even then...I still suck at gift buying. Then yesterday, I resisted buying this denim bag with pink details and it costs only $10! WAH!!! I put it back of course ...

Okay a quick post coz my eyes can only take so much of computer time until I decided to K.O Anyway, for the past week, I have been replaying this video clip from a US drama coz I thought it was just so darn sweet. I'm such a romantic at heart, well sort of, or at least that's what I kid myself. I'm not going to regurgitate what I had watched or post the video clip of it. I'm just gonna tell ya what I love about it. They started off hating each other. Well, okay not really. One of them did and the other one just wanted to help but obviously his help wasn't needed lah and it was made known several times. But come on, with such a sweet and kind personality and the total adorable factor about him, who CANNOT fall for such a guy? Given time, and the right moments..heh, things will fall nicely into place :)) By then, you just know he is the one for you and you don't want to miss the opportunity to let him go to an interested party and you want to 'chope'...

 Remember I talked about a guy recently? Well, that was the only time I talked to him and I kinda enjoyed and it has been more than a week, bordering to almost 2 weeks since I last heard from him. I thought, oh well, guess he moved on and I guess I should too, eh? He's not someone who updates his facebook regularly so it's kinda hard for me to keep track of what's going on in his life. The time he added me as a friend, he also added a few more and I'm like..hrm...since apparently all that he added happened to be girls though based on their profile pics, they were not all single girls. So I was like whatever. But he came across as a decent enough guy to talk to. And I've been wanting to talk to him again but me and my...well..'issues' that are holding me back. So I had to leave it at that. But on his side, I didn't hear from him again and honestly, I was a wee bit upset like eh, I guess he has moved on and getting to know more and more people. What ...

I've officially finished my job and Im freeeee as a bird! Oklah, I still have those nitty gritty stuffs that are not important which I can do some other time. See, if I can just focus, I can accomplish what I have set out to do for the day. And that rarely happens, haha.  Anyway I want to talk about the guy whom I've got to know recently. Yesterday I didn't see him online or receive any messages from him. But it doesn't matter. From what I know, he's looking around coz although I didn't snoop in great details on his facebook profile, I kinda have an idea that he is well...looking around if you know what I mean. And honestly, I don't want to be one of those statistics. Not because Im jealous or something but I basically want someone to be friends with unless his real agenda is to look for a life partner. But yah, I can say this now and then change my mind later but as for now, I just leave it as Im not interested. Yet. Im such a party pooper..haha. I know I...

Remember about the guy I talked earlier? Well, last Tuesday night we were chatting on facebook after he added me prior to that. He came across as a nice guy although when I first saw his facebook profile, and looked at how a majority of his friends he added are girls, who are er..on the more pretty side, Im like thinking if my ex colleague was introducing me to the right guy. It came across to me that this guy needs no introduction to girls! Honestly I didn't really bother to look at his pictures but just did a quick scan including some notes about him such as his job title. He is working as some engineering assistant with LTA.  While I didn't snoop on his facebook profile, he did on mine :S and he even critiqued them during our online conversation saying he could see the difference between no make up and with make up but he meant it in a good way. He also said I looked good in one of the pictures which I protest that it was actually the lights but he said nope, definitely n...
