Are you racist?

Something strike on my mind when someone said i am a racist person.

It was when i started telling people that i doesn't like the Indian fragrance oils smell/coconut smell. I mean, to be frank, who else like the horrible Indian smell? For whom i know, most of the people here can't stand that smell too, so do i.

Disliking the indian smell doesn't mean i am a racist person. It is also some people can't take the smell because they are sensitive towards fragrance oils. Part of it is because some Indian apply too much that when i walked pass them i could sense the strong fragrance oil which i hate it because it makes me giddy & headache after smelling them.

Just some clarifications:
**Disliking Indian because they had Indian fragrance oil/coconut on them DOES NOT make me a racist person**

BUT, WHY?? 

 I ONLY dislike Indian who had fragrance oil/coconut. Does it make me racist person?
-People who dislike to the chinese Incense sticks and Joss paper's smell, does it make them a rasict person? 
-People who dislike eat pork, does it make them a rasict person?
-People who dislike to eat beef, does it make them a rasict person?
-People who dislike to use hand to eat, does it make them a rasict person?

So, what's wrong with disliking Indian's smell?

Can't people have their like and dislike? That's weird. By the way, no matter if the smell goes to which races i will dislike too. Being called as a racist person just because i said i dislike the Indian fragrance smell and coconut smell, that's being so ridiculous.

Cat sterlization's day

Had an appointment with the vet yesterday and they were going to sterlization my cat. I had two cats, one female and another one male. This is really cruel and i really can't bear doing it but because we really can't keep anymore cats and to prevent from the female's cat pregency we had to sterlization one of them. So afer all the discussion with my boyfriend's family, we all had decided to.. I'm really sad that the fact they can't produce any babies anymore because today i'm going let my female cat for sterlization.

Time passed so fast!!!!
 
After we brought meimei back, she was totally quiet. She walked very slowly yet abit drunk-walker. Doctor said she was fine and we were told that after few days, she will be back to normal.
 

She looked in pain, quietly sitted down,
looking down at most of the time.
 
Hopefully she will be alright soon.. God bless her!!

"Fried Mala Hot Pot"

(First time eating "Fried Mala Hot Pot"!!)

Went out with Stephanie today. Shopping and dinner! She thought of eating the Fried Mala Hot Pot so we headed down to chinatown after our shopping! It was really damn hot and stuffy. I really dislike going to chinatown because the place was rather "dirty". But nevermind, we were there because of eating!

Since both of us can take a higher level of spicy, this is BIG SPICY!!! We ordered a big bowl of vegetables, meat and seafood.

We actually wanted to order prawn but was too lazy to peel off the skin so we skipped that. It tasted so yummy and spicy at the same time, plus, we had our fresh sugar cane juice while tasting the spicy.. Had a really full stomach after our dinner.

I'm sweating everywhere and here's my lip appeared to look like i'm still having my lipstick on but actually all my lipstick gone already, (It was the spicy that made my lip look so redd)!
 
 
 
Anyway before i forget, here's my ootd :
 
I love wearing accessories!
Wore the super pink lipsticks and i really love it.
 
 
*All less than $25!! Best buy of the day!!*
 
My loop for today!!!
 
Blue blinged top from F21, usual price at ($39) and now only at ($10)!!
Pink heart-shape printed dress from H&M, usual price at ($39) and now only at ($10)!!
2 accessories from Daiso!! Always $2!!
 
Had super great fun shopping and eating today.

$2 screen protector

Oh yeah, something creeply that made me almost feel uncomfortable at most of the time is having a dirty-old-disgusting screen protector on my phone! Who else would love looking it? I guess nobody likes having a dirty screen unless you are that kind of person who don't give a damn. 

Having a clear screen is also like having a new phone too.

Besides getting a new screen protector, i'm also trying to find the cheapest screen protector because i guess screen protector are all the same except the sizes, the finger-print types and designs. I'm fine with any of it because i just want to get a plain screen protector.

And to which the cheapest screen protector i've got is from, Daiso, always $2!! It is the cheapest screen protector i've got and is super worth it! Sad thing is i've to diy myself as nowhere now is selling my phone model's screen protector. Such a troublesome.


I've to be frank that my diy is really lousy. I've no talent, no art skill at all :(

But to complete my mission, i've really spend extra effort to cut it. I'm really lucky that i got my friend to help me paste the screen protector.

It was a great success and i was so happy with it.

Slimming down's plan

For my long wishing, i've always hope to slim down!!!

Here i am talking about slimming down. I've been always too chubby for the past years.. And i had attend London Weight Management 3years + ago, i was great and very effective!! I love going there because the staffs were nice and friendly. I went there for few sessions coz i've signed a package with them and i was able to lose some fats (Up to a kilo) for each session. It was too great for everything until..

I met my boyfriend!!

Everything was gone, the determination, the usual light meal i used to have, the effort i've put into for losing fats, the fats that i've lost!! All gone.

I was happy to have him around and because of that, i turned into happy girl living in a happy life. His mom cooked good food for me, that i was too happy for all the good food that i was given to. I also blaming myself for being a greedy pig for all.

I started eating and eating.. I'm not eating alot at the same time but i'm also eating extra meal in the late night for supper!! That's very sinful and stupid. I know! At late night, i always started getting very hungry and extremely addicted to food coz i don't have regular time for meals. Sometimes i even had my lunch at only 5pm and that was supposed to be (dinner time). My schedule can happen to be very busy due to work but i left no choice.. Since i can't make thing change but i'm willing to give a try to keep myself slim and healthy lol.

I'm just giving it a try!

For the schedule i've planned for my own good. And yes, here it is:

Morning 
Bread, Milo/Coffee/Fresh milk

Afternoon
-Less rice with 1 meat and 1 portion of veges (Eat fruits)
-Bee hoon with soup (Eat fruits)

Dinner
Eat fruits or a cup of milk

Important to take note!!
- No fast food
-No sweet stuffs
-Drink more plain water
-Bee hoon is better than rice
-Aviod sweet fruits like Papaya, Honeydew, Grapes & Watermelon
-Dragonfruits is the best fruit ever

And for futher more, i'm also planning to attend Lodon Weight Management for all better. *I'm so looking forward*
Probably after my Bangkok trip!!

Bits of update

Have been lacking of updates lately.. I was somehow busy and i guess i'm just keeping myself as busy as not to get bored easily. Who else likes to be bored? I guess no one right.

It seems like i'm getting busy recently that i don't get any chance to take a deep breath to think about.. I was planning to get my daily meal regularly than having irregularly meals. Also, somethings that make me slim down.

So here i am, suddenly missed blogging so much. I was abit too much for blogshopping these days again, just by looking through the clothing online. I intended to buy some of them and just because they were on SALES!! I couldn't control much about shopping which i actually bought a dress from F21 last week. It was on sales at the usual prices of ($52) and now at ($20)! So cheappppppp!





Besides that, i'm going to accompanying my cats tomorrow for fun and joy. Been lacking of care & hugs for them!! *Cheers*

Early for breakfast

Woah! I had just realized how freaking early i can woke up for just because of wanting a good breakfast. This is super amazing. In the past, i had always skipped breakfast as i was too lazy to wake up early. I did not want a good breakfast as my first meal even though i knew it was important not to skip any but i choose to, because it makes my stomach upset and really unpleasant.

Today i just realize that having a good breakfast makes my day even greater. Every morning when i open my eyes, the first thing that comes into my mind is having a great breakfast before the start of the day. I am not a fussy person, i can eat any food but water is more important to me but i can't survive without water!

Life is too good for me. I always like having good food in the morning and almost don't eat bread in the morning. (I must stop thinking of eating good breakfast anymore!!) Now it makes me grow fatter. Damn!

And all i love eating is fast food breakfast. Mac donald is the best breakfast and the most convenience located place ever. I love eating mac donald breakfast and one of my favourite is hashbrown, i swear that mac donald's hash brown is the best, it just taste so yummy which i don't know why. Lol. Compared with Kfc's hashbrown which taste a bit weird.. But I will never deny that Kfc porridge is so delicious!! One thing i will always go eat Kfc's porridge whenever i'm too free!!

These days... I had stopped eating fast food as my breakfast!! Means no hashbrown, no burger!! However i started eating noodles in the early morning! And i'm so addicted of eating "Lor mee"every morning. *Omg* (I can even remember the heavenly taste of it) I guess i'm one of the most troublesome person who doesn't like all ingrediants except fishcake & egg! I hate eating chilli with "Lor mee" and the super smelly garlic.

I had just came by with a burger king's brochure and i saw the breakfast meal... YUMMY!! Frankly speaking, i don't eat burger king often. In the past 20years, i had only visited burger king for a few times only. Maybe because the food doesn't look good in the photo but i believe burger king is a great fast food. Although i doesn't eat burger king so often but i still remembered the taste of turkey chicken burger (If i'm not wrong). The special sauce that i specially liked..

I'm gonna try burger king breakfast someday!!

Story about
Life is like a show and a show is like a replay of life. The goggle box that is called a television set telecasts gripping drama serials on a daily basis. Isn’t everyone’s life like a show? Who doesn't fight and struggle between work and family? Who is not affected by the various stages in life and vicissitudes of life? The seemingly splendid life everybody leads in fact hides a life of loneliness. Friends may be many but buddies are few. In the “City of Media”, everyone has his life story. Everyone is a scriptwriter and a producer. How one’s story should end lies in one’s hands…

Zhou Weiyun (Zoe Tay), heads a variety channel. The aloof Weiyun appears distant all the time. The fact is, she has a problem socializing. Weiyun lives with her demented mother, and younger brother’s family. Although Weiyun’s mother, Yalian, favours son over daughter, Weiyun is still filial to her. Weiyun’s brother is unable to hold down a job and hides the fact that he is financially dependent on Weiyun from his wife. Weiyun’s sister-in-law, Xu Guixiang (May Phua) is a housewife who cannot tolerate Weiyun’s singlehood and often acts like a busybody in arranging dates for her. Guixiang grouses against Weiyun and resorts to tricks to make her move out. For Yalian's sake, Weiyun puts up with it for the general good.

Luo Zhiming (Desmond Shen) is Weiyun’s boyfriend of 4 years. Zhiming’s job takes him to different countries all the time, leaving them little time together. Friends suspect that Zhiming is a married man but Weiyun firmly believes that he will not deceive her. His marital status is finally revealed to Weiyun on one occasion. Reeling from the shock, Weiyun realizes that she has been the third party in the dark for 4 years. Weiyun initiates a breakup, but Zhiming pleads with her not to leave him, claiming that he has a strained relationship with his wife and will divorce her. Caught between morality and love, Weiyun waits for him helplessly. When rumours of Weiyun being the third party spreads and fingers point to her as the mistress, she suffers in silence. Finally, Zhiming tells Weiyun that he and his wife are divorced, however, the woman he wants to marry is someone whom he has known for only one month! Like a bolt of lightning, Weiyun slides into the abyss of misery. It is at this time that Weiyun’s good friend and partner, Yu Fan (Chen Hanwei), enters into her world.

Yu Fan is a Professor of Psychology cum eloquent celebrity host. He hosts a programme that resonates with the people, thereby guaranteeing high TV ratings. Yu Fan has no dearth of women around him, yet none has captured his heart. He is suspected of being a gay, and that the women surrounding him are only a smokescreen. The truth is, Yu Fan had a wife who contracted lupus. Sapped from taking care of her and feeling that his wife would hinder his career, Yu Fan was bent on divorcing her. After the divorce, his wife died due to her ailment. Thereafter, Yu Fan fears entering into another relationship out of remorse. To cover up his guilt, he pretends to be a happy-go-lucky person. Ever since he witnesses Weiyun hurt by love, his empathy towards her turns into love. Unfortunately, the fear of being trapped in the web of love again makes them determined to suppress their love for each other. He can only eye her with interest. Yu Fan’s reputation takes a beating after reporters reveal what he did to his wife. The ratings for his programme drop drastically and his career hits rock bottom. Weiyun faces tremendous pressure and is threatened by her subordinate. As a result, she fails to turn up for the funeral of her brother who died suddenly from a heart attack. Weiyun ponders over the meaning of life, and no longer wishes to waste the rest of her life struggling hard for her job. She finally confesses to Yu Fan that she is willing to give up everything to lead an ordinary life.

Reigning supreme in the drama channel is Yao-Zhu Kangli (Chen Liping). Nicknamed “Drama Queen”, her speech and life are ever so dramatic. Being a perfectionist makes her life tormenting. Yao Jianguo (Guo Liang), Kangli’s husband, is a well-known plastic surgeon who often cheats on her. Kangli is aware of her husband’s philandering way but puts up with it as long as he loves only her. Their six-year-old son, Naonao, is diagnosed with autism. To save face, Kangli hides his condition from everyone and bears the brunt of Naonao's behavior by herself. Kangli tries very hard to play the role of a good wife, mother and supervisor until she finds out that Jianguo has gone overboard by falling in love with another woman. She suffers a breakdown and decides to confront her own failure. She sets out to reconcile with Jianguo and stops hiding her son’s condition. Unfortunately, her husband wants a divorce so that he can be with the third party.
Jianguo is in fact adopting an escapist attitude by taking this decision. He feels a sense of failure over his son’s autism, and cannot face his family. His extramarital affair is an excuse to divorce himself from the world and numb himself. After separating from Kangli, Jianguo spends a period of time feeling lost. With help from his good friend, Yu Fan, he gradually regains his old self and makes a great effort to win Kangli's heart back. Unable to forgive her husband, Kangli becomes cynical. She is particularly hostile towards Weiyun who has been accused of being a marriage-breaker, and makes many enemies. However, it is Weiyun who gets Kangli out of trouble when she keeps making mistakes at work. Kangli feels her colleague’s concern and begins to let her armour down. Finally, after losing her position, she sees the light. For the sake of her son, she chooses to accept the repentant Jianguo. The family is reunited, and she settles down to being a contented housewife devoted to her husband and son.

Super career women face pressure from all fronts while the young struggle in their career. Zhao Fei Er (Jeanette Aw) is a very hardworking second-tier to third-tier artiste waiting hard for her big break. Fei Er comes from a broken family; her mother is an adulteress while her father, Zhao De (Richard Low), is a useless bum who drinks and gambles. The only person she considers a family member is the paternal grandmother who dotes on her. Fei Er vows to leave her past life behind and works very hard in her acting job. Finally, she rises to become a first-tier actress, thanks to Kangli’s recognition of her talent. Jason (Qi Yu Wu) is Fei Er’s boyfriend from her university days. An outstanding ad director, he ardently supports her dream. In order to take care of, and protect his girlfriend, Jason becomes a freelance director at the TV station. Fei Er starts to change after her new-found fame. An inferiority complex makes her hide the truth of their relationship. She even hides the fact that Zhao De is a drunkard and her paternal grandmother is living in an old folks’ home from the media. Fei Er’s hectic schedule leaves her no time to look after her grandmother. She has no choice but to place her in an old folks’ home. When her grandmother is critically ill and dies, Fei Er is in the midst of filming and fails to attend her funeral. She feels guilty and this makes her even more determined to be successful. It pains Jason to see Fei Er fighting hard to gain fame and fortune. Their relationship takes an unexpected turn because of opposing views.

At this time, Fang Tonglin (Rui En), producer of Variety Unit, falls in love with Jason at first sight, the reason being that he looks uncannily like her late faithful father. Tonglin and Jason hit it off real well. She supports him in many ways after finding out about his problematic relationship. Her unwavering admiration for Jason’s disregard for conventions ends in a one-sided love affair that she tries very hard to sustain. A stroke of luck lands Tonglin a spot on TV which is widely received by viewers and she even gains an acting role. By now a celebrity, Fei Er views Tonglin’s presence as a threat. After Tonglin’s transformation, Du Zhanpeng (Shaun Chen), Head of Artiste Liaison Unit, makes the surprise move of courting her. A product of Singapore’s elite system, Zhanpeng has never tasted failure. Touched by his earnest courtship, Tonglin accepts his love.

Gao Jian (Desmond Tan), a wealthy heir, has eyes for Fei Er. He showers her with a number of advertising contracts to endorse products, sponsors her programmes, chauffeurs her around in a luxury car, provides a listening ear to her and stands up for her secretly. His actions touched Fei Er tremendously. As she gradually realizes that hard work is not enough to get one far in showbiz, Fei Er learns to curry favour to establish relationships and leans on Gao Jian as her backer. Jason senses that he is drifting apart from Fei Er. On the other hand, he seems to click with Tonglin because they share the same views. Unable to contain his anger anymore, Jason confronts Fei Er on her relationship with the heir. Fei Er is incensed, and decides to break off with Jason to be with Gao Jian.

This is a big blow to Jason and he sinks into misery. Tonglin’s tender loving care of him finally makes Zhanpeng see that his girlfriend’s heart is with Jason. The bitter Zhanpeng gives up on Tonglin and because of her, his friendship with Jason is strained. Not only is Zhanpeng’s love life in the pits, his personal life is in shambles after a legal suit ruins him. At this juncture, Xiao Lixia (Rebecca Lim), enters his life. A sales manager, Lixia is Zhanpeng’s good friend. After counselling him on the notion that success comes after failure, Zhanpeng no longer seeks perfection, and begins a relationship with the thrice-divorced Lixia.

Jason is devastated after being jilted by Fei Er. Life has totally lost its meaning for him. With Tonglin constantly by his side encouraging and consoling him, he picks himself up again. For a period of time, he devotes himself into his work, produces a number of commendable programmes, wins the award for Best Director in consecutive years and receives offers from international movie directors. On finding out that Tonglin is secretly in love with him, he is touched and accepts her love. Tonglin is finally together with Jason. Their relationship blossoms. However, Tonglin senses that, compared with Fei Er, Jason is less loving towards her. This is especially obvious when Fei Er is in their presence, and Jason somehow behaves awkwardly. Tonglin feels that she is always placed in a helpless situation to the extent of having to betray her own principles. Fearing that she may end up like the people around her who, in the pursuit of fame and fortune, lose themselves and deviate from their dreams. Thus, Tonglin chooses to withdraw from showbiz at the height of her fame to resume her role as a director. Hurt by love, the uncompromising Jason is bent on becoming a celebrated director and in the process, causes his benefactor Kangli to lose her job. Kangli and Weiyun, who have been hardened by their life experiences, advises Jason not to follow in their footsteps of losing himself. Jason starts to examine his life and decides to rein himself in before it is too late.

The Gao family cannot accept Fei Er. Gao Jian is under pressure to break off with Fei Er and marry a rich man’s daughter. Fei Er loses hope in herself and turns malicious. A string of scandalous news causes her popularity to go downhill. Feeling extremely empty and succumbing under the strain of criticisms, she knows that remaining in Singapore is no longer possible. She claims to have gone to Hong Kong to develop her career, but ends up miserably as an extra. Estranged from her kin and kith, and suffering untold loneliness, Fei Er regrets losing herself for the sake of fame and fortune. She still loves Jason, but considers herself unworthy of him. The sight of Fei Er in such a sorry state pierces his heart… Tonglin is perfectly aware that Jason has never stopped loving Fei Er. She is determined to fulfil his wish, but tells him that if he ever needs her, he should know where to look for her. Faced with two women who have an emotional hold on him, who will his heart go to?
In the mundane world, everyone wears a mask in his life. What is more tragic is not the inability to pull off one’s mask but forgetting that one is still wearing it. How many people have lost themselves, yet do not have the courage to seek their original self?


Do check it out? Is a great drama!!

Aunties factors

What a cool topic to talk about! Just a mintues ago, i was thinking what post title should i name it and few second later a post title of "Aunties factors" flushed through my mind. I was so talented of creating interesting post title lol hahaha.

I don't know why but many time i've tried to look out for aunties that do stuffs to irritates the public. Some are pure innocent, attention seeker.. But i just can't stand the way they do things. Most aunties become the real "aunties" at the age of age 45 & above. "Nagging", "Being budget", "Kaisu" those are the top few popular things they do. Never stop nagging, bargain for cheaper price and always want to be the first. You should never look down on them and stop thinking that they are bad! They are actually not bad but just changed to be different due to their mature age.

Also.. There is a thing i personally felt is that when you even got a kid, you already become auntie. Lol. I always bring this up and tell my fellow friends around me that if i happen to see any of my friends already become a mom of a child, she already become a auntie. Lol. Face the fact dude! Obviously you're no longer living for yourself anymore, beside your husband, you still have a child. And it happens if you bring your kids out of the house and to shopping malls, any stranger's kid will call you "Auntie" instead of Jie Jie anymore. That's not a strange thing anymore.

Although i do not have kids yet, i still can strongly understand how of being a "Girl" into a "Auntie" changes the whole entire life. I still believe that no matter how rich you're being spoon feed, you still have to fork out some times for your kid when they're new born babies. As young babies needed to be taken good care, some precious time will be taken away too. Growing and development is important on the way along.. Your sacrifice is rather alot but is all worth, for the sake of your kids.

Arghhh, I could't stop myself from thinking me becoming a auntie one day with my own kids.
