Hmmm...
Whiling away time on the net now while i wait to catch Torino 2006 live on tv at 2am.
Figure skating - one of my all-time fave Olympic competitions to watch... no less for all the beautiful babes in skin-showing, body hugging costumes, haha.
No lar, dun u think figure skating is jus such a graceful n inspiring sport?
Pure poetry in motion.
And while we're at the subject of the ice rink (and since this is Vday), it sort of brings to mind the most memorable date i had --
Ice-skating on a date with a classmate when i was 14.
Lolx! Of cos we were nowhere as graceful as the figure-skaters.
Unless u consider synchronized falling, laughing, and falling again a new synchronized ice sport, Lolx! =P
All rite. Enjoy ya Vday pple! ;)

Musings
You are alone in the world. I know a fair number of people - these days, more women than men - who live fiercely independent lives, ruled by a rational mind which has little patience for those lightweights who traffick in the emotional. Knowledge, scholarship, work and practice are all they seek to keep in full control their lives and their worlds. I was once amongst them. But. There must be a place in the heart for whimsy and silliness, for the irrational and the uncontrolled. That is when one will begin to have friends, and they will be a great source of comfort when one's time comes to rage against the dying of the light.
You have seen yourself as unassailable, because you are well armed with your wit. Sharp and deadly it is, and it is all you need.
No one is unassailable. Fierce independence can become scary isolation when all of one's defences are down.

Nanny-state Singapore
Oh my god, I jus realize i'm eligible to vote!
And wat with the election around the corner...
Have any of u voted before? (question directed to any readers of this blog, if at all, haha)
Definitely not us newly-turned-21-year-olds (wat timing!).
Is it even compulsory?
Have no time to make a well-informed vote, if i even have time to do that.
Shall jus stick to the long-time champion of nanny state Singapore despite all the claims of my mum that the government is going to the dogs. Oh well, maybe she's right. But are there really anymore competent and experienced opposition parties in Singapore?
Or maybe i shall jus read thru some of the lesser known circulated propaganda of the opposition parties and choose an underdog i like jus for the heck of it.
Wat is one or a few thousands of such votes? We all know PAP is gonna win anyway.
Afterall, Singaporeans need another generation of politicians to teach us whom to marry (someone with the highest possible IQ and number of degrees to match), when to make love (as many times as possible to facilitate speedier sperm-egg movement), how many babies to have (preferably 3 and above, though if u have two IQ 160 doctors marrying, a football team is preferable in order to populate the future Singapore with more intelligent human resources), and to get our asses out of the bottom rankings of the world's lowest love-making-amount charts (second lowest national average of 79 times per year according to who else, Durex).

Colourgenics Profile Test
Your Complete Personal Profile http://www.paulgoldin.com/colorgenics.htm
You want to be regarded as an exiting and interesting personality able to persuade others to comply with your beliefs and ideas. You are charming and able to influence other people who come into your sphere of influence. You like mental stimulation and you are the sort of person who is prepared to 'try anything once'. Your confidence is so much so that others are often swept away by your enthusiasm.
Most people are conditioned by their environment and you are no exception. You are an extremely emotional person - so much so that 'the wrong word' can lead you to tears. You feel other people's pain. You feel the need of sympathetic relationships and a pleasant work environment in order to develop and grow. You are an impulsive, loving individual with a great deal of inherent feeling.
Everyone has to compromise at times and circumstances are such that at this time you are feeling the need to do just that. Put all of your hopes on the back burner and let matters flow for a time - forgo some of the things you want. The good times are just around the corner.
As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.
You are putting on a show - a facade. You are a master of demonstrating considerable charm in the hope that this can or will lead to better things. Deep down you are fearful that this may not work and that you may have to employ other strategies in order to realise all your ambitions.
Dun ask me how true is it, i dun noe. Find the description pretty crappy... like a high schooler attempting psychoanalysis. Har.

Counting my blessings
I have nth interesting to blog about except that i've had a jap buffet once again.
How am i gonna lose weight at this rate??!
But maybe i can console myself that at least the buffet (or any more on-coming high calorie meals) was for celebrating Xiang's bday.
Hmmm... a new revelation... i realize once again how my best frens get to be my best frens.
Good frens are the ones who answer u honestly that "Yeah, u've gained weight... but nvm, we can go jogging together to lose weight"... or advices on how else to lose weight.
Best frens are the ones who answer ya every idiosyncracies about ya body with a "Siao! Where got?!" or similar kind denials.
True as my weighing machine can be, sometimes u jus dun wan to hear jus how u've gained wt, how fat u've become, how thin u used to be.
Sensitivity is an attribute i really appreciate in a fren.
I have problems imagining how other pple can be smth i'm not or wasn't before.
And maybe that's why i get disillusioned about a person when i discovered that he/she does not play up to my expectations.
I'm not toking bout experiences or physical attributes, but rather characteristics such as tact, sensitivity towards others, kindness, etc.
Think its an issue of priority of integrity too. Some pple may believe in honesty above sensitivity, straight-forwardness above tact. But that person wud not be me, nor my closest of frens.
For that, i shd be grateful.
That there're still pple blind enuff to overlook all my flaws and more.

Poker face
I dunno why i feel so dejected.
Maybe becos the betrayal has come from within the family.
I'm all smiles and jokes.
But a cold anger is seething on the inside.
//
Chinese new year family gatherings are somewhat over-rated.
Much as i had over the years grew to enjoy the 'family' time i get to spend with the uncountable relatives i meet only once a year, there may jus be too much interacting squeezed in too little time.
Its jus like having a seven-course Italian dinner, each course unique n marvellous savoured leisurely by itself. But throwing them altogether into a stew in a big pot and have it in one seating, u no longer enjoy the individual splendour of each course and u're going to suffer from certain food processing difficulties soon after.
Also, the longer i spend in company, the longer the time i need to recharge after that.
A result of too much superficial socialising with a wide array of forgettable faces and names u know u'll forget before the visit is over, and therefore sometimes rather not ask at all.
Their relation becomes their identities.
My energy level has spiked.
Pls dun tok to me for three days. Or if u do, dun expect me to answer.
Be like a geisha though... i enjoy the chatter - as long as it doesn't warrant an animated response from me.
Or maybe i'm jus begging for an outlet to let off all these repressed energy.
The best release, i discovered from experience, is finding the one person to listen to u rave.
And trully understand.
