FLOWER IN A GREENHOUSE

Previously I said I didn't quite like Alicia Keys' music. For 2 days straight, I keep hearing her songs. There was Empire State of Mind yesterday and a playlist of her tunes today. Hmmm. 


Well anyway, I'm better off staying in. I hardly venture out and when I do, I fall sick.
Tina was right saying I'm like a flower in a greenhouse (温室里的小花). Even on my trip, the aunties were like, "BACKPACKING? IS SHE MAD? How can a princessy girl survive on her own?" /something to that effect/ 
YES, FLU. AGAIN. Part 1 in Turkey, Part 2 now.
And the best thing is, tomorrow's a networking event. What a way to make an impression - nose being a leaky tap and all. And such things REALLY mess up my skin. It'll get all dry and flaky; makeup's gonna look terrible. I always fall sick at the most unfortunate time. When I'm really looking forward to something, I will get ill. I reckon excitement doesn't suit me.


It has ruined a great many meetups... some meant a lot to me and to be unable to go and knowing that it won't ever happen again... heartpain. Seriously.


Today's 'class outing' was fun though I was quite out of it. I like Kenny Roger's Mac&Cheese though admittedly, too much can make you feel sick haha. Couldn't finish my portion again. Lotsa people didn't as well! (yay! high5!)
I conclude that lemon juice on an empty stomach does its job of suppressing my appetite. Not drinking it does the same thing too (: It's all in the mind.
I didn't drink it on some days to avoid coming across as being a potential anorexic. Cuz' some people think I'm weird for having no appetite all the time and always looking upon mealtime like it's a battlefied. It feels like that at times. Mealtime = battlefield. The thought of having to finish everything makes me full. Weird huh? And I don't even feel hunger. I eat because it's time to eat not because I want to.


So yea, sharing food is great! Makes me less guilty about wasting food (and someone's money) and relieves some of the pressure.


I have a few burning questions. Am considering who to ask. 


I quite like Prince of Persia. Still don't think Jake G. is hot. Really. How is he hot? HOW? I feel nothing. Just like with RPatts. How is he hot?
Anyway, back to the movie. Not too many slow spots so yea, you won't feel like all that talking is making you sleepy. Mmmm plot is decidedly not too strong or fascinating. It IS based on a game afterall. And the whole turning back time ending? It reminds me of our favourite essay plot in primary school where you wake up and it was all a dream (: Just that in this case, nobody realises what happened except you. It all happened and yet none of it happened.


Keppel Marina is a nice place to chill. Seeing all those privats boats and residences around ignites that flame of... materialism (haha). Previously it was my dream to own a place in The Sail. (I think you can see it from my future workplace) Though that place is quite old(?), I like it. Cuz' it was my first materialistic dream. /shrugs/ Not a Prada or LV or a car, y'know?
I want a cat too. Or dog. I love animals! Though I have not thought of a name. (I have my child's name picked out already. Though...I probably will not get married. I feel awfully cynical about that whole marriage thing... Maybe because I've never felt that it can be a possibility.)


WOW! A friend just got accepted into SIA as a flight steward! Not really my friendfriend but because we'll mention him from time to time, he feels like a friend. It's really funny how Athene said it:"Stewards don't really need looks since they're not the ones doing the main serving and stuff. Just hide in the background doing the work! It's Singapore Girl not Guy!"
HAHA. I'd never think it could be possible. And I infer that it was his ambition to be a steward. Double wow! I would have laughed if I knew about it but look! It DID happen (: From bike to planes. Know who I'm talking about ? ;)


Wish me luck for tomorrow! I'm guessing the movie would be a snoozefest. I mean, seriously, Karate Kid? Not something I would pay to watch. Larks! I'm not paying!


To end off this entry,
sometimes I don't know why I'm doing something. There's no logic, reason, rationale for it. I just blindly trust my instinct. It makes me say something or keep my mouth shut. But whatever. If a good thing follows, that's a reward. A bad thing - that's a challenge. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger right? God knows that.


HAHA. Why am I not surprised at Entourage's choice of travel kakis? I hate to stereotype but she really looks like an SPG minus the sarong (though she probably has a few in her closet) and the super super tan makes her look like the new breed of SPG. You know, the non-local kind? Oops. No post is compete without bitching/gossip.
