Wordplay / Legolas

Do you know who legolas is? Well, he is the hottie from the movie Lord of the Rings. He was acted by the 'now you see how gorgeous I am, now you don't' Orlando Bloom of whom you can see on Pirates of the Carribean. Well this 'Legolas',which me and mariah nicknamed after..okay, it was me...is a spitting image of Orlando Bloom but the Indian version. We ate at Arab Street and the food was nice but what was even nicer were the cute male waiters! Swoons!!


Prior to that, we had quite a tiring walk coz we practically explored Bugis Street which had no air con and made my hair all freezy and my skin all oily. But it's okay, me and mariah bought a pretty skirt each! Hehe..nice guy...he didn't react that much when we bargained except to give us at our own good bargain price! wahey!


We also walked through the Bugis Junction and lesson number one: NEVER visit that shopping mall on a Saturday. If you MUST go there, at least empty your bladder first anywhere but there coz the toilet queues were snake-like!


We also took a long walk round Arab Street, Bussorah Street and whatever street to find a good place to sit down to eat. But the eating places there were either too run down or too posh and so alas, after a while walking through the almost dark lanes, we settled for a place that sell Turkish cuisine. Tsk, talk about wanting to try something new and we ended up at the same place we went the last time! Kekeke..but it is ok coz it had been a very long while..was it last year? Can't remember..getting old lah!











By the way, I am still on course and tomorrow is the last day for the writing course. Well, so far I do enjoy the course and there are so many things I learnt including the 'common mistakes' and we wouldn't even know that we are making them because everyone seems to be adopting it! And miraculously I got a B3 for General Paper?!!


Oh, for the heck of it, I checked out the meaning of eyecandy which I have been using recently quite a lot of times. The trainer told us that just because everyone used that word in an official letter, report or email doesn't mean that we are using the word correctly! For the heck of it, this is what I found out about the REAL meaning of eyecandy. It is actually spelt as 'eye candy' as two separate words instead of one word. It means:


visual images that are pleasing to see but are intellectually undemanding; "he wanted to put some eye candy on their web site".


Can't get that? You know what is a bimbo? Something like that..


Anyway, in my case, yes some guys are simply 'eye candy' to me but that's just what they are. Rahayu doesn't really care if they are intelligent or what as long as they are nice to look at near or far because she's not interested in getting to know them. But definitely it would be a bonus if they're both physically pleasing and intelligent too..just hope they're not gay.


I think the course is like a wake up call to us and after the course, I am definitely gonna get a dictionary. After years of using a dictionary at home and in school, NOW then I know how to use the book properly. Tsk..


Meanwhile during break, I messed around a bit and we took some snapshots. There's one thing I noticed about myself recently. I seem to be looking different and different each time as if Im finally getting into the groove of being in my mid twenties. Darn it! Oh well....


By the way, yesterday I was complaining about how I felt so self conscious of myself. I felt much better today even though I didn't bring an old photo but I figured out that what you wear may or may not flatter you and if it does not, it can affect you emotionally. I think that was what happened to me yesterday coz I teamed up at the last minute a combi which is wrong..wrong..wrong..and made me 'bigger' than I actually was coz it felt so 'figure hugging'. I was okay with the top but I think the problem was that I wore a wrong skirt to go along with it and it made me look so 'stunted'.


Anyway, I told myself to just put a sock in it if I ever felt so freakin 'aware' of myself. My only concern today was my hair coz I washed it this morning and that air con has a funny way of making my hair extra frizzy especially on the day I had washed it. Hrm, still I told myself to just 'flip flip' and then there you are...no need to think too much coz it will eventually be messy from time to time knowing that I don't do much with my hair except to shampoo and condition. So don't expect to possess soft shiny silky hair like others who take greater pains than me in ensuring their hair is in that condition with regular hair treatments. Haiz...I told you it isn't easy being a young woman.


Enjoy the pics!

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...
