At a certain part in your life. Probably when too much of it has gone by. You will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, "But I am this person." And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love. - Phoebe in WonderlandGrowing up these days is a hard thing to

Everyone is different. period. I hate it when people impose their ideas or thoughts etc on me, who are these people to give me their two cents when I've never asked them for any of their thoughts etc. It's not even like their views matter that much in the first place. Low life creatures, taking a dig at others by bitching, seriously, such pathetic losers, why are they everywhere?

Some people generally wish for the worst to happen to others, some totally indulge in others' misery and then some others generally want to be better than the rest whilst not guilty of the above.In life, no matter where you go, where you decide to work at, there will always be these few groups of people. From mothers to single women, from alpha males to the snags, they come in every form.What

Happy New Year folks! I know, I have not been posting since forever! But I hope to post more frequently from now on (at least I will try)! I'm quite glad that I've survived first year of my practice (well technically 6 months) and appreciate that there's a lot more to learn in the coming year!

Have you ever really loved a woman?I don't particularly like the scene where Mr Big marries another woman instead of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City but somehow that episode has a lasting impression at the back of my mind.I remember how I used to watch Carrie and felt uber sad for her when her only constant in her almost perfect life was to wait for Mr Big, a man who is often unable to return

It's better to be talked about than not talked about In the real world, everyone gets bitched about every now and then, and the sad truth may be that you don't even know the other person very well or that you've never done anything bad to the other person, that's just life.One quirky Russian girl, Natasha from ANTM's cycle 8 taught me at least something positive about being bitched about, that is

Merry Christmas! Christmas, to me, has always been just another ordinary day, it has not been particularly significant but it has not also been particularly insignificant.Perhaps in some way, the festive season is all about doing something for someone you care about, about gathering with others, giving something to someone in need of your help, about toasting with others, about being cosy at home

It's funny how the past haunts you in a variety of way, leaving you with the deja vu feeling when something happens or when history sort of repeats itself. It's scary how you can't sometimes shake off those feelings when you vowed a long time to start anew and forget all about those feelings and I desperately need to change my mindset before I turn to someone whom I'm not.

It's bounderish to reduce women to nothing but mere body parts of certain sizes and/or shapes. Regardless of what they have said or done, nobody is entitled to pass rude remarks that degrades women in such a way that nothing else but the size of the boobs matter.

BalanceBelieve it or not, living a life of balance is a lot of hard work, it's not something that happens by default but something to be lived with a lot of effort. A well balanced life requires constant thoughts and energy and changes, we should always change something when we can. This runs totally parallel to the thought that if you want to do something right, there's no easy way, but once you

Stop whining and do somethingPeople who incessantly complain about how life is unfair and that how unhappy they are with people who supposedly live a very charmed life should just all shut up and/or give themselves one tight slap on either side of their cheeks. Sure, we all whine, do we not? But just whining alone is not going to change anything, neither is it going to help make yourself feel

In bad times or darkest moments, all that I can think of is to hope and pray that the Lord will always be with me and see me through these insufferable times. In bad times, I tell myself that God has made me a much more stronger person than who I really think I am and I tell myself that I must only become stronger and stronger with each passing day to survive and to live. In bad times, I tell

I was once told by someone that, a man loves you not when he cannot bring himself to show it to you how much he cares and I cannot agree more. I'm not sure if being shy can be a valid justification for holding back or even fear of being rejected is a valid reason, all I know is, if you truly care, you'll give it a shot, regardless of the result, love's not a calculated risk.

Happy Birthday Singapore!There is perhaps no such thing as a Chinese, Indian, Malay or Eurasian thing to do but rather a Singaporean way of doing things in Singapore. Over the years, I find it increasingly difficult to distinguish what is uniquely a Chinese, Indian, Malay or Eurasian custom, for the different races don't just indulge in their own race's customs and traditions but too what is

It bugs me to no end when people constantly call me a feminist. I hereby ban everyone from calling me that because I simply am not a feminist.I don't advocate for equality between the sexes, all I've been doing is to advocate for respect for women from sexists, the male chauvinistic king kong pigs who believe that women should be treated differently from a sliding scale of bad to being treated

My friend asked me quite an interesting question today, that is what would it take to lose my friendship for good? I never really thought about that question before and so I thought about it real hard for awhile and then I realised there's not actually alot of things that any friend of mine needs to do to lose me forever, all they need to do is to betray my trust.That can be done in the simplest

The world is such that there will always be people who complain, moan and bitch about their work, how much they dread doing them and so on. Such behaviour can be tolerated so long as at the crucial moment, they do their job and get things done, it doesn't matter if they complained about it or not, I rather have a complain King or Queen who gets things done rather than someone who don't complain

Who says it's impossible? Every single day, everyone is trying or doing something which someone once said was impossible.

Birthday alarm, ya a godsend, but what happened to me?Knowing you are remembered and treasured is indeed a happy feeling, no in fact an exuberating one that warms the cockles of one's heart. When people from afar send me their sincere birthday wishes or little handmade cards / cards, I feel cherished and it is a very special feeling knowing your friends care for you, somehow you are allocated a

Whenever someone complains to me how much they dislike a particular blog, I often advice them not to continue reading it if it irritates them and like all good advices, they are often ignored. I often think people brings about trouble upon themselves and if you were to look around and observe, you will understand what I mean. I don't think of myself any different from them, I am afterall too

This world is materialistic, no matter how you look at it, it simply is a shallow little world we are all living in. People are judgmental and they tend to impose their views on what should have been on others rather than experimenting what could have been. Wherever you are from, whichever culture it is that you have, you are judgmental and but a pathetic fool.Whenever we first acquaint ourselves

I am sorry, but what has talent got to do with your disability? A particular chinese singing competition, titled Project Superstar has made some news or rather created some topic of discussions. A particular blind contestant, Tan Weilian entered the competition and made it to the semi-finals (I think) and that sparkled off some widely debated topic, which is the reason why this guy by the name of

Everyone enjoys using self-giving people but nobody hangs around with them once they are done using them. Using is the word. So shouldn't you be looking after your own welfare at a certain point in life and not be too considerate to others when nobody's being considerate to your very own existence?

A mother's plea, have you heard her loud and clear? When Marie Fatayi-Williams, the mother of the missing son, Anthony Fatayi-Williams who has been missing since the latest London terror attack, appealed to the terrorists to stop the vicious cycle of killing before more mothers' hearts will be maimed by any future terrorists attacks, my heart sank. Indeed, if there is any possible way whereby one

Is the value of life really a grand total of zero now? Why is it terrorists like Al-Qaeda has simply no regard for life? There are certainly a whole lot of other means to send the message across, why resort to violent attacks like the latest bombings in London?Why too create more racial problems as if they are not already enough? I cannot imagine what the lives of the muslim population in UK will

"I was thought to be stuck up. I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure." - Bette DavisIf there is any category of adjectives that has been splashed to me one too many times, it would be the type of adjectives along words like arrogant, aloof and so on and so forth. But I have never been arrogant or even tried to be anything close to

Trick to life?Stay afloat, amidst all the chaos, lawlessness, uncertainties and so on.It is those who stay afloat and thus alive that matters, not those who sunk, those will be forever buried in the sea and nobody will ever remember them, what's left of them anyway?

Can a relationship really be a relationship when the people involved in it don't actually want each other as much as they should? Can it really be considered a relationship when people somewhat settled for one another because of pragmatic reasons and not because of chemistry? Can we really call the relationship we have with others one when we somewhat chose to settle for less and that lesser of a

Tony Blair's Historic Third Term - Bravo Blair! Well done!I woke up this morning checking the results of the election, feeling all so pleased and happy that my favourite politician, Tony Blair has won the third term of the election. This is no mean feat, afterall no labour party has ever won three consecutive election term.Now all of you who are unhappy about this result and who might too think

He made me realised how important it is for one to stay true to oneself and how much I've been trying to be someone else whom I think is much better than my real self. I guess to a certain extent, I really don't want to be labelled as arrogant and stuck up like the past but to another extent that actually is a good thing and that is being myself I guess. I was not born to be arrogant or even

Sometimes when something good happens to us, we need to believe that we deserve them. Yes, it is hard isn't it? Especially when you think so lowly of yourself and constantly beat your inner self up. Trust me, we all have such moments, by that I mean every single one of us breathing and walking on this blue planet. Surely there is something good inside of you anyway.If you don't believe that you

I know whenever things go wrong, friends who care wants to be there for me and every now and then they would like to fix me and pick up the broken pieces I left behind. I appreciate all of that, however one thing everyone needs to realise is I don't need anyone else to fix me, I basically fix myself, growing dependent on others is simply not the way to live. I am a soldier, I fight all the time,

They say whatever campaigns that politicians are running, no matter how good they look on the surface, no matter how much good they seem to be doing to us or even just other less well provided for people, they are nothing but shams and too one of the means to achieve the end-results, to receive as many votes as possible. Ah yes, the clever politicians who has been playing the game of manipulation

Conceited, contemptuous people who takes relationships for granted ought to know something, relationships between human beings are never constant, neither is it always there, it can be broken as easily as it was first built.Nobody waits around for people indefinitely, people linger around a while longer after break ups but that does not mean they will always be there for the heart breakers at the

I just learnt that if someone trusts you, they trust you, if they don't, every negligible thing that you have said or done, which might be completely innocent but it all became so not innocent because opportunists who are there to discredit your character and personality turned things around, or added their own unjustified interpretation of what your actions meant and turn that someone against

When you and I were babies long time ago, did we ever give up learning how to walk? Did we ever stop grasping the technique to walk like our parents? Sure, we crawled before we walked. We might have stumbled here and there, went all wobbly and fell so many times that our butts were sore but we never stopped trying did we? Yes, we were brave little beings when we entered the world, yes, just by

When I was young, I was kind of always hanging out with lots of boys of around my age who lives down the block or in the same block. We do silly things like catching worms, climbing trees all sorts of funny and sometimes dangerous stunts, I enjoyed them anyway.I remembered playing tug-o-war with a boy when I was 9 years old, he was a neighbour's friend's son. It started out as a friendly match
