powerless today was a cold day. literally that is. i woke up and found i cldnt wake up- that it was best staying under my blanket even though my alarm clock was busy protesting each time it got a chance to. i ended up snoozing till close to 12 and realized i was freaking late for banner. it was lousy getting out of house, into the wetness and all. ziing, yantong, puisan, nat, denise & stef were in the canteen when i reached and there on the table lay my very own box of dunkin donuts! compliments of shibani of course...thankew! basically we had a fun time sharing it and i tried a bit of every flavour. it was gone within 15 minutes. when cedric returned we emulsified the two banners. was rather fun actually, since the emulsion was water soluble anw, didnt matter that we got ourselves all white. it was really a whitewash on the cloth- absolutely skillless and easy to do. ha! wait till the hard part comes up. which is tmr actually! chalking the damn thing out! haha anw stef, puisan, cedric & myself headed to pac to paste mahjong paper on the plastic, but ended up taking photos on the plastic sheet, gallivanting at j8, taking photos in strawberry land (much to my embarassment!) heading there in the first place to look for more mahjong paper. somehow the fortune telling stuff near the popular counter drew our attention and before long we were reading up on 2006, the dog year, and how dragons will supposedly oppose the presiding god next year. 1988 dragons, we're earth dragons btw. we needa be careful when eating poultry next year. we shldnt take our driving tests next year cuz even if we pass, our cars will crash. i swear im quoting from the book. there were two books, both predicted a not so good year for us. another silly paragraph said that we shldnt try to compete for anything next year, cuz if we try, this star (yue sha i think) will deflect our attempts and "screw it up anw". and i quote yet again. amazing how these authors casually mention these in their books and not expect us to freak out. or who knows what they have up their sleeves, collaborating behind the scenes and all. anw i found myself getting all superstitious, as i inherently am. there was one more book about palm reading, and we had fun reading each others lines, trying to find out who will be married, successful, promiscuous etc. haha. there was also face reading! imagine- u need a wide protruding chin to have good health and u need a high shiny forehead to bode well for yourself. oh and it seems my sixth sense line is too fragmented for any accurate sensing. im a hoax! so much ive found out abt myself today. i wonder if this will change how i act in the future, you know. but then again, maybe i was supposed to read those stuff, act differently, so that what's meant to happen to me will happen. ahhh life is a road full of tricky lollipop flowers by the pavement. they make themselves extra colourful if we're about to walk into a pothole, so we'd stop and lick them, averting disaster. or sometimes they would plant themselves far away so that we pay less attention to the trap we eventually fall into, despite it being under our very noses. what can i say, im a philosopher. quote me! i just tried on my office wear and got my father's pants altered cuz tmr, i start my mindef attachment! i wonder if its ok to blog abt it. i think i will be very careful. cant say im excited. rather terrified actually. im such a wimp. just the other day i was so eager to study overseas. i cant handle being a fickle person. dont let me get me. i had an unexpected chat online with an old fren last nite. smthing was really comforting abt that. i guess we're all afraid of growing up too quickly huh? oh well. i dont know what i shld expect from friends, really. maybe im just being silly. haha anw alan im still disappointed u didnt mention me. and in defense, i asked him to tag, but then i wondered why i even had to ask in the first place. i think i expect too much from relationships, sometimes i just fear rejection. till i actually form any kind of relationship that's too close to handle for now, here's an interesting article! Taken from: 1=7350">http://msn.match.com/msn/article.aspx?articleid=5384&TrackingID=516311&BannerID=544657&menuid=7>1=7350 Suddenly Single ‘Why aren’t you married yet?’ By Kimberly Dawn Neumann Whether you’re single and loving it or desperately seeking Mr./Ms. Right, being hounded about your relationship status is annoying. And yet it seems to be a perfectly acceptable topic of conversation at festive family functions this time of year. In preparation for holiday party season, we asked everyone from social experts to comedians for the best answers to the “Why are you still single?” question. Save your ego by boosting your questioner’s “When children ask a disquieting question, adults answer the question with a question. This technique deflects the attention off of you and puts the spotlight on the questioner, and it may work for you, too. Say ‘What an interesting question. I am curious about how you made your decision to get married to fill in the name of your questioner’s partner.’ This indicates that you think getting married is a decision, showing that being single isn't about being a loser but about not having made that decision yet. And as a perk, it may provide the opportunity for an interesting conversation!” -Joni Mantell, psychotherapist and relationship coach in New York, NY and Pennington, NJ Make your point with an extreme example "Tell them, ’I look at marriage as an old-fashioned, patrician, indentured-slave practice that imprisons people in a backbreaking, emotionally bereft sinkhole.’” -Mike O’Malley, star of the CBS series Yes, Dear Bait-and-switch your response “One all-purpose answer for anything rude is to give a big smile and say, ‘Oh, you!’ They will be baffled by it, so use their confusion to change the subject by saying ‘Now, listen’ in an urgent tone and going off on something else. Just make it clear to yourself that you don't even have to acknowledge something stupid has been said, much less answer it.” -Ronna Lichtenberg, author of Pitch Like A Girl: How a Woman Can Be Herself and Still Succeed Make them wish they hadn’t asked “Try, ‘Because the doctor tells me that I get enough nagging from my mom.’ ‘Because a couple of years ago I got a great deal on a 50 pound box of condoms, and I want to get my money’s worth.’ ‘One thing at a time. Let me get the sex change first.’ ‘Have you seen me naked?’” -Brian McCann, writer for Late Night with Conan O’Brien Inspire jealousy because you’re still single “The trick is to persuade people that you're not bothered by their nosy question. Turn the undercover insult into an opportunity to impress them with responses that display your confidence, self-empowerment and sense of humor. Some ideas are ‘I’m single because I’m waiting for my perfect match, just like you did,’ ‘It takes time to separate the best from the rest,’ or ‘I’m taking my time to make sure I do it right the first time.’” -Laurie Puhn, J.D., author of Instant Persuasion: How to Change Your Words to Change Your Life and founder of www.lauriepuhn.com Shrug it off with a snappy comeback “My general feeling is that a rude question deserves a rude answer, but a few of my favorite ways to deflect the attention are: ‘It gives my mother something to live for.’ ‘Johnny Depp is taken.’ ‘Just lucky, I guess.’ ‘I guess it just goes to prove that you can’t trust those voodoo-doll rituals.’” -Linda Sunshine, author of Women Who Date Too Much…And Those Who Should Be So Lucky Drop some science on the situation “Defuse the comment by saying that studies have shown that marrying at a later age increases the odds of the marriage lasting. The younger you are, the more likely it is that you’ll grow in different directions. But when you’re older, you’ve got a better idea of who the person is and that they’re going to stay that way.” -David Givens, Ph.D., anthropologist and author of Love Signals Smile and move on with savvy “Don’t flip out if someone hits you with the question. Remember that the holidays are a tense time and people might just be looking for conversation-starters. Try to go into these parties, if you have to go, with a good attitude and respond good-naturedly. ‘Thank you for recognizing how high my standards are,’ or ‘No one has been smart enough to ask me yet’ are good responses. Or just say, ‘That's a good question, I've never thought about it before!’ and walk away with a huge smile on your face.” -Joyce Newman, media relations/communications expert and founder of The Newman Group Kimberly Dawn Neumann is a writer and performer in New York City who now intends to respond with “I’m still hoping for a shot at Miss America” the next time anyone questions the lack of a big “rock” on her left hand. She has contributed to Marie Claire, Fitness, and Prevention, among other publications. p.s. i need some new+good music in my life. p.s. im thankful for my parents. p.s. ive uploaded photos to classparty+sleepover+donuts!
