Female Role Models

Yup, the start of positive blogging..haha..No, the laugh is genuine.

Actually, I have this idolisation thing going on. I idolise Beyonce and Tyra Banks..coz they're gorgeous, sexy, smart, hardworking and has a big heart by giving back to the society through charity foundations that they set up.

I cant be like them...BUT..I think they're good embodiment of feminity. Look, Im nowhere near as talented as them (although Im quite a karaoke singer..heh..) but I want to adopt their habits to embrace myself fully as a woman successful in life and career. I cant change my fate but I can change what's of me coz even though Im in my mid twenties, I cant even look after myself well properly. Despite my uh...harsh words about my mum earlier on....she does in some ways help to organize my life a bit.

I try to incorporate some stuffs like what would Beyonce do or what if I was Beyonce. Im sure she looks after her hair which are so gawd damn luscious. Of course I dont have an entourage of make up artists, hair stylists and etc..people responsible for making her look so good. But I try to make it my own way. For example, I have not used the hair mask for the longest time..maybe few months already. THen yesterday in the shower I thought..hey....Im sure Beyonce would take care of herself well so and if I were her, I would not be lazy to use the hair mask and be back in the routine of using that damn thing every Sunday. Well, it proved to be a good bluff technique (or fooling myself technique..whichever you want to call it). I convinced myself to use it in my Beyonce mode and the result? My hair looked better...easier to manage and comb through.

About Tyra, I often watch her show when I am in the gym about evening time. I find her talk show very entertaining and she's a very entertaining host herself and her audience loves her. So, it was a pretty fun workout coz I get to watch tv while doing the grilling on the cross trainer and the treadmill. Im not much of a gym person and I get bored after fifteen minutes. I guess she deserves to be named as Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People. As a former supermodel, she has a lot to live up for because you know models..especially the famous ones..are more often judged for their looks and body much like celebrities. So a bit of unflattering pose or a bit of weight gain will definitely get them in tabloids which rake in money from their imperfections.

But her high self esteem makes her a survivor in the harsh hollywood industry and modelling industry. But just like us, she does have insecurity moments but she doesnt let these moments overtake her easily and she bounces back up quickly.


So stop reading trash about Britney..well, maybe as a once in awhile guilty pleasure. Surf Tyra's website at
Tyra Show and find out more about her daytime show. It provides episode sypnosis and also a glimpse into her life. Actually she has her own personal website which is breath taking. It's like a walkthrough a virtual scrapbook.

I think we should all have a role model that we look up to maybe our mother, a relative..a celebrity. But good ones ah..not Britney.

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...
