1. Addicted to FML, big time. Is it human nature to feel better at someone else’s misfortune/demise? Or am I just plain... evil and mean, as S always thought so?
2. Just as when everyone started to believe it’s time for women to step up to leader positions in Singapore, we have to take a couple of steps back with the AWARE saga and S-Factor. Not to say that they aren’t entertaining reads in the news though.
[On the side note banter: Always have thought a successful woman is one who knows how to turn her charm on and off as and when she deems fit in any situation and knows her way on how to work with women and men. Knows when and what to say, knows when to just listen. One doesn’t need to fight her femininity to be at the top. If she removes any traces of femininity so that she feels that she can be accepted in a leader role, she will not represent a woman on top – she will be just a man-boss wannabe. How some women try to fit into the boss role, by being masculine, is actually very ironical.]
3. One pet peeve I just uncovered – women twirling their hair into two rolls hanging down by their necks. In public. Again and again. While staring at themselves in reflections doing so.
4. All my shoes suddenly just died on me. Broken soles, holes, tears. And just when I needed shoes, those on racks are unappealing and/or expensive. WHY! And those that I vaguely like, doesn’t have size 40 in stock. What, all big-feeted women have the same taste in shoes, or they don’t even bother bringing in stocks for size 40 at all? Mar from office said “See, my Ferragamo shoes. I wear them everyday and they last for yeaaaaars! Look, they still look fine. That’s why they are so worth it.” Oooooh, I won’t dare say the same for clumsy, unrefined me. Different owners, different fate.
5. Just as when there were speculations that we may be walking out of the gloomy financial downturn sooner than we thought, H1N1 flu came about. What’s next...?
6. Don’t even feel like reading the news with all the doom and gloom.
7. Mom’s Day. Uh oh, what to get Mommy?
8. Marveling at beautiful supple flawless skin. I want I want I want.
9. Why did that 9pm Ping Pong TV drama end so abruptly? Oh, should have known. Director of ‘The Little Nonya’.
10. Was at FordModels.tv watching short video clips on fashion and hairstyling tips (which I never did try due to my overwhelming laziness) and came across a video of a Fit Model. Whose occupation is to be just a size. Any random size. And just stand there be a standing model – “armholes too big, shoulders too small, yada yada” for a, say, size 6. Clothes in the fashion industry is made to their sizes' measurements. I thought, "Wow, THERE’S SUCH AN OCCUPATION?!" Don’t even need to be pretty, don’t need to catwalk, go down to a shop and pick the right size off the rack and off you go because they’re sized according to your measurements! And paid for it!
