Because narcissism is necessary. :)

Rest assured, thanks to PMS and exam stress, I look nothing like the pictures above now.

My skin is utterly horrible! I've also been trying to wean myself off my skin-pills so my oil glands are going cuckoo. Is it a medical condition if your oil glands produce too much sebum whilst your skin remains dehydrated? 

That's the best I can describe my skin now- dry, yet oily. The hair is worst! I adore long hair- just not on myself. My scalp gets weird when my hair gets too long... and I'm more susceptible to dandruff and the like! Rawr.

Probably due to the fact that I only wash my hair every alternate day when long hair needs more care. Hee. :p Nothing I can complain about then.

On another note, after reading an article about how blogging may improve your employment prospects, I made an ad hoc decision to start a 'serious' blog!

I IM-ed Tjer:

Baby! After exams I'm going to start a serious blog! Become a famous blogger! Like Jeff Ooi or something like that... blog about serious stuff only!

He, who has the greatest faith in me, replied:

How serious? Like how Balenciagas are better than Chanels?

Well, considering the things I blogged about above- about my hair and skin during exam periods- I'll probably never be Jeff Ooi material. :(

That doesn't mean I'm not going to try though!

Exams are not over, but when they are... I AM SO GOING TO START BLOGGING ABOUT SERIOUS, INTELLECTUAL MATTERS, LIKE.............

like......... How Obama looks way better in trunks than Brown ever will?!

Now that's politics for you.

It must have been the weather- a clammy cold night with a slight patter of rain.

Whatever it was, it made me pause and reflect my life.

Am I happy with who I am? Am I happy with what I am doing? 

Am I happy with the situation I am in? 

Would I have been happier if I had taken the road I had given up on?

And then I remember the story of the insatiable woman-

There once was a building that sold men.

A woman entered and was told that the building operated in the manner that, each flight of stairs she climbed, she'd find floors filled with different types of men.

The higher the floors, the better the men.

Excited, she hurried up to the first floor.

There, she saw a sign that said 'Wife-beaters, liars and two-timers'.

She turns her head away in disgust and rushes off to the next floor.

On the 2nd floor, the sign says 'loving men'.

She thinks to herself, 'hmm... this sounds better than the last one.... but I won't settle for someone who can only offer me love!'

So, off she goes to the next batch of men.

The sign on the 3rd floor reads 'rich and loving men'.

The woman ponders, "This sounds better! I could do with this... but... I wonder what's on the next floor?"

She runs up the flight of stairs and is delighted to see the sign that said 'rich, handsome and loving men'.

"Ooh! I could REALLY use a rich, handsome and loving man.... but... what if there is something better on the next floor??"

She strides up to the next floor in anticipation.

However, when she arrives, all she sees is a sign that says, 'I'm sorry, there are no men on this floor.... you women are just too hard to please!'

I guess I can't say that I'm unhappy with my life. On the contrary, I like what I have now. I am happy that I'm completing a degree- an accomplishment!

Yet, I still do at times wonder- what if?

Is it bad? I've been told that if I didn't I'd be too complacent. 

Then again, where do you draw the line between being too greedy/fickle and being too complacent?

What is the past tense for 'Pigs Fly'?

Answer: Swine Flu(Flew)!

:D

On another note, I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I'll be able to eat my favourite wrap for lunch! Nom nom nom. :D

(Disregarding the fact I eat wraps everyday for lunch) 

Sigh. Life is so blissful.

What exams??

Orange Juice...

will forever remind me of dinners at home, in our fluorescent-lit kitchen.

 

Pop Quiz.

While procrastinating, I stumbled upon a quiz and here are my results-

'You're.... 'Quite possibly one of the dumbest girls you'll ever meet' It's okay though, you have other talents. You're funny, and caring, and your very innocent. Somtimes being neive helps you out too, you get to ignore all the drama of girl world. You depend on your friends quite often, without them you wouldn't know what's going on.'

wtf. 

Now I regret having done the quiz. I kind of like convincing myself that I'm actually a really smart person with a dumb facade?

Then again, I shouldn't trust quiz results telling you how smart/dumb you are when they can't even spell the word 'naive' right, should I?
