Sitting in an Aircon Room

Sitting in an Air-coned room but still feeling like gagging. My eyes are tear-ing, itchy and uncomfortable. My throat is painful and sore. All because of you people who think that burning some pieces of paper and
joss sticks can protect you and your family from harm. YOU~! are causing more harm to me and those who are sensitive to smoke than ghosts are causing harm to you. YOU are causing more harm to the living things around you than ghosts can cause harm to you in your whole life! Sometimes I wish I can lock you in a room with no windows and let you burn those things as much as you like. I understand that these are all superstitious & religious beliefs (to me its bo liao cause I have no beliefs in such things) and its rude of me to scold you all because of your religion. (I can at least write in my blog right?) BUT please be more considerate by burning those things in containers with lid rather than let those ashes fly around like some ghostly movies wanna-be. (Otherwise burn in your OWN house so that the ghosts KNOW you give them so much and they won't come and find you) SO THERE!

White = China?

Must I really go get myself a tan? It's not just once or twice I've been short changed of a good service or attitude just because I look like I'm from China. Do people judge who came from where just by their skin color?

The taxi uncle who took me home just now said I'm lucky I'm standing at the taxi stand and I spoke more than 1 word on the taxi. He mentioned that if I'm standing by the road side for taxi, he won't even stop for me cause I look like I'm from China. Indeed, he doesn't look too happy until I spoke to him with a "La" in my sentence.

So should I go swimming everyday?

A great way to live your life faster - 8 yrs later

Got this here I wonder how is this possible taking photo of own self for 8 years at about the same angle and expression for all of the photos. If this is real, its a great way to compare your own changes throughout the years. Of course its not too late to start now or you can do that for your kids just that its difficult to get them to do the same expression. That's no big problem anyway.

;D By the way, I think he looks rather handsome (Like Leehom!) in some of the photos~ Don't mind me or say I'm superficial... ain't we all are?

An alternative relieve for my Sinus

Yeah I guess I don't have to mention again that I have Sinus~ Sinus Sinus. There are many types of Sinus and mine is not exactly the most mild. Mine would be categorized under Maxillary sinuses


Hence pressure will build up under my eye cheeks and eye lids and often, my eyes will be swollen up. Photos which I don't want to show here but you can see under here they are not exactly such good memories. But I've found a method of massaging the eye area to reduce nose blocks and swelling every morning. Hence although my eyes still gets swollen, the frequency reduced and often the swelling goes down very fast.

1. (0.0) <----- the face
2. 0 0 <-------- pair of eyes (actually the bottom part)
3. 1 1 <----- 2 fingers and these are the ingredients you need for the massage.

There are 2 ways to do it and one is to use your 1 1 (fingers) to tap at the eye cheeks (i.e the bottom part of the 0 0) softly~ (softly ok??) and the other is to use your fingers to swipe across starting from the side of your nose to the direction of ears. Follow the curve of the bones below the socket. (SOFTLY~~~)





I prefer the 2nd method which I find more effective but you have to do it softly but firmly so that you will not tag at your eye cheeks too much and have sagging eye cheeks. (You won't want sagging baggy eye cheeks when you grow older) By and by my eye bag and dark eye circles reduced too ... yeah~~~ I don't have to buy any more $70++ eye cream!

How embarrassing~!

Its been a long time

Ok, I admit, its been a long time from my last post and I've pple asking me to "update lei~". Blogger's dashboard changed and I didn't even know that.

One word, "Tired" and the constant stomping of the elephants upstairs or the (blasting) Malay songs musical chair every weekend didn't help much.

I just came back from lesson and man~ I'm sooooooooo tired... the no. of "o"s cannot explain how tired I am. At the edge of another breakdown just now especially during the time I was in the train from Raffles on the way to Somerset. Oh boy~ do people in Singapore knows what is MRT? Haven't they been in the MRT train before? Why must they act like they are fetching their idols at the airport? Why must they push like they are giving birth?????

I smsed Dar at lesson "I want to go home~!" and proceeded to ask why am I so useless and weak? Others are able to be pregnant, work, look after kids and study at the same time while I'm whining over some idiots in the MRT train.

Am I too weak will? Or am I just too lazy to work and study.... of course, if you give me the choice to work part time and stay at home the rest of my time, I will be glad to... hehe

Recently I've been reporting depressing posts, I'm so sorry but since nothing much except depressing things happened oh~ except for Dar's new employment. Just bear with me for a while k?

Ceiling Fans

When we moved to the house that we are living in now, I wanted to have a ceiling fan in our living room. Simple reason was that we live on the third floor and the place is so urber warm especially in Summer. This is poise a problem when we have guests around and they can only seat around sweating in the living room.

However, our living room is not really suitable for a ceiling fan as the ceiling is so low that my husband can touch it by tipping his toes. Having a ceiling fan is really a health hazard! Hence we chose tower fans instead. Recently Dar's cousin, who came to look at our house, said that once we have a baby, we cannot use tower fans as there's a danger that our baby (actually any babies) will put their tiny fingers into the slits of the fan.

She suggested having a wall mount fan like this Fitzgerald that I found on Fanimation this fan looks so nice and cute unlike the conventional round wall mount fan we usually see. If we get this fan, we will want to put in the living room and the bedrooms in order to save on air conditioning too.

Hair

Hair, no matter the length, style, volume, thickness or quality, will affect how a person looks. Many times, during awards ceremony, stars and artists are often discussed on their hair styles and looks even more than the award itself! A normal person like you and I can also change our image and improve on our outlook or even up our self-confidence just by doing something to the quality or style of our hair.

Hair styles can easily be changed as long as the correct style and good hair stylists are chosen. However, its difficult to change the quality of the hair as different people have different conditions. Using normal off the counter products may work for some but not for others. Its more important to find out the reason for thinning hair first before choosing the treatment or product to use. That's the reason why great hairstylist, hair loss treatment, hair loss products, hair loss specialists are so highly sort after.

I've been plagued by oily thin/fine hair. My hair will grow limp and oily, clumping together by end of the day and even mid day. It affects my looks and also my mood for the rest of the day. Not only that, hair loss is also a big problem for me.

I certainly hoped I won't find myself with patches of balding hair before I do something about it~

The journey------> center of the earth

Watched this movie Journey to the Center of the Earth just now at Bugis, oh man it was a great choir watching this. (No worries, no spoilers involved) Starring Brendan Fraser (same man as The Mummy), Josh Hutcherson, Anita Briem as the 3 main cast.


I won't tell the story here but will just say the plot was planned, with little time to relax in between and peppered with several laughable points. If you immerse yourself in the movie, you will find yourself holding your breaths as they met with danger or wonder at the beautifulness of the setting. Or be scared by the creatures that appeared. Or the sadness when the truth was finally found out with regards to the aim of the characters in the movie.


However, I would feel that it's a bit too rushed as the characters don't seem to be to have gone through hush conditions and a lot of danger. Not much of discoveries by the characters. Rather, they are just confirming or going according to what was already there in the book (now what book is that?). It made me felt as though there's nothing new to see. The whole movie made me feel that it takes a damn short time to reach the center of Earth. Several points also made me wonder "How is that possible?" like when they found diamonds, rubies and emeralds all in the same room (oops spoilers~! just a minor one hoped you don't mind).


Obviously, this movie is made for light hearted viewing and not to be dwell too much in. Great for the kids and a lazy weekend for something fun. I will give it 4/5 for entertainment and 3/5 if for depth.

The cinema at Bugis Junction sucks by the way.

I"m so lucky

Friday 11pm and I've just reached home from a long day of work and lesson at Somerset. Had been feeling like crying since morning when I woke up. 1 whole week of lacking of sleep due to those overweight elephants living upstairs + 3 whole months of accumulated stress.


Reached home and just sat on the sofa. Accumulated stress and tiredness came crashing down. Even though Dar kept talking to me but I didn't want to reply . I just sat there and closed my eyes. Tears just roll down my cheeks. Dar had a fright that I can just cry like that.


He lends me his shoulder and I just cry and cry... silent tears.... he kept asking me what happened but I didn't say. Not that I don't want to tell him. Not that there is nothing to say. I'm just scared that the moment I say it out, my tiredness and stress will become even more real.


He finally managed to drag me away from the sofa and into the room to our red bean bag. I just sat there and didn't want to move. Dar keep asking me, want to bathe? Want to eat? Want to change into comfortable home clothing? I just keep shaking and nodding my head but still unwilling to move away from the bean bag.


I can see Dar was trying to calm me down and was scared that my asthma attack will come again. But I just didn't want to move from my comfort zone even though I've stopped crying. I told Dar and said if I move, my comfort zone will vanish and I won't find such a comfortable position on the bean bag anymore. He promised me he will maintain the shape of the bean bag so that it's still comfortable. I guess I just want to say that I am too tired; I don't want to move, talk or do anything. But when I look at his face and the effort he put into encouraging me "Jia you~" when I'm on my way to class. And I've said something 过份when I replied him that even "Jia you" will not ease my tiredness, stress and unhappiness. I decided to relent but I still can't bring myself to stand up.


Dar proceeded to carry me to our master bedroom. (And I'm not light at all~!) while he carried me, tears just flow out again. He was shocked when he saw that I was in tears again he said "I thought you stopped~~ don't cry anymore, your eyes are red and you got nose block". So I just said "I'm tired..." and just started wailing like a little kid. He didn't say much but just hugged me and say "I know"... all the while patting me on my back. It feels great to be treated like a child. Sitting there while he waits on me hand and feet. (Guilty~~*)


I'm glad he is here. I'm lucky he stood by me and took my bad temper and mean words while giving me the support I needed. (Now he is trying to look over my shoulder to read what I am writing about him ;D)


I hope I can jia you. I hope I can be strong enough to go through next 2 months which are the toughest for me at work and at school. Can I do it? Numerous times I've mention that I feel like quitting and becoming a housewife but yet felt glad that from someone who had never touched or studied accounting cept my current course, I can take up this job. Its an achievement for me.


Dilemma, Stress, Tiredness, Uncertainty, Achievement, Luckiness


How complicated it can be?

Looking forward~~~

Lacking in motivation to work and feeling like Nua-ing at home everyday. I asked my husband whether I can be a housewife ;P and he asked me whether there will be enough income if only 1 person works. Haiz... seems like reality weighs more~~~~~


But I'm looking forward to a holiday end of September. With Claire, June and Yanxing. Yupz, my husband is not going. Seems like he don't like the hassle of traveling and instead, prefer to stay at home and Nua (hmm... that sounds familiar)... no wonder they say Birds of a feather flocked together Lolx~
