Going Olive

I learned something interesting today while going through my Geography webcast lecture. These 2 pictures both advertise the same product (some olive bathing product I think), but it's portrayed differently in Singapore and Malaysia. Well, I dont think Singaporeans are less conversative than Malaysians, so why cover her up in Malaysia? Haha.. Pretty interesting isn't it?

Kinda make me feel like getting this olive thingy from Body Shop.. Hehe

Hairy Stuff

My old shampoo had just run out and I decide to try a different brand. I had read from a magazine about this new range of high-end hair products to hit Watsons stores just recently called Charles Worthington. I purchased the trial size version of this series called Stay Smooth, which was supposed to de-frizz, add shine and manage hair. It cost 13 bucks for 2 very small bottles, which I think will only last me for 1 week plus lol.

Previously I was using Loreal Nutri Gloss (the pinky bottle) and it did a great job of adding shine. But I must say, Charles Worthington is pretty great, a little pricey, but it helps to keep your hair smooth and shiny at the end of the day. Do give it a try, but do get the trial kit just to make sure you like it :) The normal bottles cost close to 20 each. Ouch!

Exams are just about to finish and I cant wait!

Guys

Guys are funny. Well, some of them. They want you when they cant have you. Even when they're with someone else. Fish was pulling all kinds of excuses to get me to meet him. I replied rather harshly that I dont think the person he's with would appreciate what he was doing. And I asked him to stop using the "it's complicated" status on his friendster and start declaring himself to be in a relationship. It was so obvious he was trying to salvage whatever that was left, but I told him that it could never ever work between us. In fact, I shot him down rather rudely.

Guys.. I'm so sick of them. What's with the thrill of the chase? Does it turn them on, make them feel more of a man? I know not every guy is like that, but the ones who were with me seem to be. Well, this blogger, yetskim (what kind of a name is that?), definitely needs a different guy.. Check it out.. Never fails to crack me up everytime I read it.

I finally settled on a gift for my lecturer. Guess what I got him? A box of chocolates. LOL.. Nothing fancy, but I did chose the most expensive one I could find. I know you can never go wrong with getting girls chocolates.. but for guys.. oh well.. Like I said, guys are funny creatures.. :p

Your Head Or Your Heart

Exams are just around the corner and I dont see myself pouring through tons of notes lol. Even though there is no need to attend school this week, I have already been there twice this week. Oh well, I'm having consultation with one of my lecturers, which was kind enough to offer his time four times this week! I'm thinking of getting him a thank-you gift. It's hard to get gifts for guys, and getting one for a lecturer seems to be even tougher. I usually get guys shirts from maybe Adidas or Nike as presents but I think it will be weird giving him that haha..

I have a new addiction. Everybody loves Raymond! I used to watch it a long time ago, but now I realise that it cracks me up more than before. Maybe because my sense of humour is getting better. But Friends still comes out top!

Have you ever wish your head could rule you more than your heart? I for one have been wishing that for a long time. Never good to do things with your heart ruling because your judgement is clouded, you're more emotional.. I could be on my way to get food and a lousy sms could ruin everytime and make me lose my appetite. Certain days seem to hold more significance for me and I'll just be in my own world most of the day. I wanna break away from that. I wanna rule my life a little more with my head rather than my heart. But do you know that people who use their heart more are happier when they fall in love, but of course, more depressed when they fall out of a relationship?

I realise I have been babbling a lot in this entry. I'll end here!

I Love Weekends, Just Not This One

Weekends are almost here! Strangely for me, I'm not looking forward to this weekend. Close friends will understand the reason.

Anyway, I realise that most stores are now filled with the Christmas spirit. I just bought Cleo magazine and it comes with a guide on various festive ideas. It's really an occasion to look forward to when you have someone special to celebrate with. Dressing up for Christmas dinner, the gift exchanging.. I love stuff like these. But it's sad when you do not have that special someone to celebrate with, or at first you thought you would be, but turns out otherwise. But hey, that's what friends are for :)

It's been a tough two weeks for me. I've developed a habit of listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Because Of You" repeatedly and it's high time I snapped out of it! "Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt. Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me Because of you I am afraid..." How true those lyrics are, and how sad it is..

What everyone is listening to now: Hinder- Lips Of An Angel



Nice lyrics.. Check out the lead singer's voice.. Sounds like he drank and smoked way too much to get that kind of voice.. and when he sings the romantic parts, it's kinda hard to take him seriously with his rugged voice LOL. Check out how he moves when he's singing. I dont know if it's funny but it cracks me up. Oh well.. maybe I'm crazy..

Geeky Me

It's 6.50am on a Sunday morning and I should be sleeping merrily but I am up! Haha! I had just spent the last couple of hours doing my software engineering project and thank god, my program seems to be working, although its not perfect.

Nowadays, I realise that people seem to be taking the term relationship less seriously. Monogamy is not in anymore and relationships as I've observed from people around me seem to be either going sour or end faster than usual. Maybe its our inner voice telling us that there is someone better out there, or that there's no need to be that committed in every relationship. You know, as Chandler tells Ross in Friends, "Maybe you dont marry this one".

Or maybe, we dragged too much excess baggage from our previous relationships that every other one seem to have piled on even more issues. It's ironic really, because we are supposed to have learnt more from each relationship to help us be wiser for the next one.

Old fashion dating is out people! Have fun dating around seems to be the in thing now! I would like to try that sometime, although I'm more of the kind that gets joy from knowing that there is this one person waiting for me at home, that same person who will celebrate all my birthdays and valentines with me.. Oh well, I'm a bloody old-fashioned geek who by the way is still up at this ungodly hour on a Sunday morning.

A picture taken sometime back when we had an early birthday celebration for Meihui. It was a happening night and we will definitely do this again after exams! This is a bloody long post I know, guess I'm making up for the lack of entries lately :p

I'm concluding this entry by telling you guys that friends rock! Haha! I'm off to do more geeky stuff =D

Sunday Morning

Here I am, up in the early morning, on a Sunday morning. I had just spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out how to do my project, which involves implementing a software engineering system, which seems bloody tough to me. Java needed to be used, and as usual, I'm a little slow when it comes to code lol.

Thankfully I managed to get some decent-looking work done after all those hours. Tried surfing for those local sites where you can pay people to do your assignment for a fee. I wanted a back up plan in case my program doesnt work, but I couldnt find any of those sites. And to think that when I didnt need this last time, sites like these were all around..

Anyway, Desperate Housewives season 3 is back! Well, it has been back for some time now and it's still great. I love Eva Longoria's new hair colour and I'm gonna change my hair colour when Christmas draws near..

Found an interesting blog about cheating husbands. Do check it out when you're free. Kinda feel sad for the wife, but the way she writes cracks me up sometimes..

I'm off to study somemore.. ARGH
