My Valentine's Day

It's abit late for this, but can't be helped becoz I was having exams nearly the whole week.

This year's valentine was EXCEPTIONALLY lonely for me. For one, it's the first time in many years that I didn't have school on valentine's day! See the importance of school!? Secondly, I was HOME ALONE literally the whole day. From the moment I woke up til 4 or 5 when my brother came home. But he left at 7 again for tuition.

The whole day that day was horrible. Never felt so alone before in my whole life. Was sitting in my room at my desk, revising and listening to Gold 90's Venetta Lopez show... thot I'd find some comfort there but noooo... Gardammit, valentine's messages and lovey stuff kept making it's way to my ears! Urgh. And this line, "It's ok if you're single!" bothers me the most. I didn't mind at all at first, but when they kept repeating it, it started to get on my nerves la.

At some point, it felt so lonely I wanted to cry. Quite silly right. Could have been a normal QUIET day, but nope, I had to tune in to the radio. I also thot, Man I could never move out from my parent's home. I won't be able to survive waking up alone for more than 2 consecuetive days. I'd probably become a highly depressed SINGLE person.

Then in the evening I suddenly had a little eureka kinda feeling- I could cook pasta for my bro and dad! SO I went down to NTUC to buy the stuff, preparing a sumptous spread that I was gonna cook for the first time on my own. I bought shitake mushroom, carbonara sauce, chicken sausages, pasta, tomatoes etc.

When I got home my bro had left for tuition. Hmm! all alone again. Luckily I had the pots and pans in the kitchen for company. Anyway, to cut to the chase, I spent nearly an hour cooking the half-course dinner. Then I couldn't open the sauce bottle lid and had to wait til my dad came home... at 8.30.

Then when everything was ready, he finished everything on his plate within 10 minutes! You wouldn't believe it until you see it happen, I know. I couldn't either. He said wanted to catch my brother at the school gate to fetch him home. He then left hurriedly at 8.40 and didn't reach home until 9.15.. leaving me all alone, sulking, dowsing myself in pity.

I was left alone so many times that day, I become a little numb to the pain of it... Anyway, they didn't complement or thank me to say the least... oh well.

Thanx

Thanks for your comments everyone! Especially in the Candid-Moments-in-School post. Heheheez. Yupz thanx for takin the effort to post a comment. I still look back at my posts, so yeah, still can comment if ya wanna~ ;D

Anyway, so damn happy ECONS is over. I dun care how I did and betta, I dun HAVE ta care about it ANYMORE. Hyyyaahahaha!!!

Dae before ECONS

Quite shitty I'm feeling. Studying I don't feel like. And allowed annoymous comments I've finally, goodness.

I'm feeling quite shitty. I don't feel like studying. And goodness, I've finally allowed annoymous comments.

Shit, I feel really shitty. 12.09 already, still can't bring myself to pick up any Econs notes. I guess I'm testing myself. See how log I can stand the thought of doing badly for econs before I start revising.

Anyway, found something on Pat's blog.

The 10 worst beauty tips ever!

Saw this on "MSN today"... thot it was quite entertaining

We don't know who started circulating this bad beauty advice, but now's the perfect time to retire all of it.

Myth No. 1. Brush your lips with a damp, old toothbrush to rid them of flakes:

Can we just say "Ouch"? A soft towel or washcloth is equally effective and completely nonirritating.

Myth No. 2. Apply moisturizer to damp skin:

"This absolutely never works," celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal says. "The moisturizer just slides off your face, and so does any makeup you apply on top of it."

Myth No. 3. Wear only matte and muted tones once you're out of your 20s:

"Women seem to be afraid that shimmer and bright colors are aging," Carmindy, the makeup guru on the TLC series What Not to Wear says. "But nothing sucks the life out of you more than drying matte textures and washed-out neutrals. Just keep the shimmer subtle and the color soft and fresh rather than overly bright or dark."

Myth No. 4. Lipstick and lip gloss can double as eye shadow or blush:

"The textures are too greasy for your cheeks and even more so for your eyelids," says Armani's Tim Quinn. "It's such a mess!"

Myth No. 5. You can mend split ends:

No matter how luxe the product or extravagant its claims, the only way to get rid of splits is by snipping them off.

Myth No. 6. For incredible shine and softness, brush your hair 100 strokes a day:

"Overbrushing stresses and weakens hair follicles, which leads to breakage," says New York City salon owner Ouidad. "It also causes split ends and frizz."
- I think this myth makes sense leh. If you brush your hair 100 strokes a day, I'm sure it'll turn out as claimed... Maybe not the softness part, but at least shiny. Coz BOTAK already! HAHAHAHA!

Myth No. 7. Preparation H is a miracle under-eye de-puffer:

While this cream does contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, puffy eyes can be caused by other factors, such as fluid retention and allergies. Plus, other ingredients in the cream dry the skin and could really sting if they migrate into your eye. Bottom line? "There's just one place this cream was meant to go, and that's south of the border," says New York City dermatologist Dennis Gross.

Myth No. 8. Your nails need to breathe:

"Your nail is alive only at the part that is below the skin," Jan Nordstrom-Arnold, cofounder of Creative Nail Design, notes. "So there is no living and breathing going on where you can see it." In fact, removing polish in the hopes of giving your tips oxygen will only hasten their demise, since they will be left unprotected.

Myth No. 9. Apply Rogaine to help regrow overplucked brows:

"I've seen women show up with very weird-looking brows, with random bits of fuzz here and there," Quinn says. "The thing about Rogaine is that it doesn't grow hair back uniformly, and I don't even want to think about how much it could burn if it got into your eyes."

Myth No. 10. Pop an ibuprofen or two before waxing or having hair removed with a laser:

"I really wish women would stop doing this," says aesthetician Rhea Skeadas of New York City's Bliss Spa. "It causes little hickeys all over the skin." "Because it thins the blood, ibuprofen can increase your chances of bruising and redness," Dr. Gross concurs. If you are already taking a blood thinner, tell your aesthetician prior to any treatment so that she can be extra gentle.

top nth jokes of the year

The academic year is coming to a close for me. Actually, today's the last day off school and next week's study break, then the *forbidden word* period. So I'll randomly jot down a few of the many funny moments I had in school.

Today: did accpac crap with Horny Owl. SOO Farni!!! We tried our luck with it from 12nn.. OMy Gawd, booking a stupid decent com was reaally trying enough. then, had to amend the whole screwed batch listings sheytte again... Then aiya, cannot la, better to begin from scratch lor. amazingly Horny the pro, could nearly do everything wivout looking at the instructions. So I was like Huh?! U do la, u do la... Ya noe why? Because Horny doesn't have thumbdrive, so every accpac lesson while everyone does with the teacher step by step, she'll run thru the ENTIRE sheeytty process on her own. HAHAHAHA!

so I tried and tried to get the transaction and wadever sheytte repOttes corrected and Horny tried and tried to book a com beside me. Hahaha, because she didn't bring her notes... Then we were rummaging thru the wadever drives then she said, "Aye, got CD arh?" I said no, coz I didn't see anything. then she ejected the C drive... There a CD lies, as cold as steel... haha, no lar, trying to be poetic.

"See got anything inside anot," and she proceeded to close the C drive.

I went, "Eh! Don't anyhow hor.." fearing wad ulu programs it would run

Horny said, "NOo, we might be able to get the owner's information la!"

Then suddenly, "AYE! (I hopped) It's empty!". and she started laughing...

I asked her what izzit? She said "you" and mimicked what how I hopped...

Then, at 2, I finished! HOHOHO then it was so-called HOrny's turn to use my com to do hers. But no, she had to find a short cut. So she went thru the files trying to find a leak in the system... Haha, like a terrorist on the prowl... Oops, sensitive issue? but it didn't tell her long to find what she wanted. HAHAHA, it was like "EH! Can change name one lor!" ... ...

After printing out, we went to look for Krishna! -our teacher, not the.. ok, nvm. to our DISSappointment, the ans was wrong OK!? Oh ya, den something even stranger happened. we were talking to Krishna and I forgot what he said, but I shot Horny a look. Then for DUNO WAD REASON, that threw her into a frenzy giggling-fit! She tried to turn away but Krishna asked her wads the matter, so she faced him again.. I was still listening to what he was saying. Then I sat down and so did Horny, but she was still laughing! Until cannot. So paiseh la! the teacher explaining stuff and den this ferler laugh and laugh... and I also laughed at how she laughed. Next she excused herself from the room and went outside to laugh to her heart's content. When she came back in, she was still abit laugh-struck.

Anyway, we copied down the model answer the teacher showed us and left again to re-REdo. Outside I asked her what she was laughing about again.

She began with "You didn't hear meh? When I asked him 'So how many accounts should there be?" Then he went, '... then, you.. double click... double click...' Someone more like abit slow lydat...

It's like you ask someone What did you eat for breakfast? Then the person say 'Cereal'. Then 'When did you have breakfast?' 'Cereal' Hahahaha! (she laughs)Or 'What did you eat for breakfast?' 'Cereal' 'When did you have breakfast?' 'Open the box, pour out the cereal, pour in the milk...'
"

Thats NOT the end of the story!!! Shit la, this time must getit by hook or by crook... then went to book another com 01... went into the room... EH?! how come got someone using our com?! Hai I dun wanna waste time le, so went straight to book another one. Horny's booking was still on the screen and her booking was correct mah! Anyway, I got 03. So we sat down and plotted. I mean, contemplated. Problem: Only Batch 1 was correct. Batch 2 was "deleted". Batch 3 and 4 contained the same transactions, were posted, BUT neither could be deleted!

Horny the pro went about her ways and analyzed the options for cheating, i mean correcting our mistake(s). wah liew, the same problemS I had yesterday resurfaced and I felt quite defeated la... thot we to redo everything again coz the spoilt batches can't be deleted still... then I rmb I had Mouldy's files! so we closed everything and tried to open her files. After seeing Horny's successfully attempt at changing and printing my trial balance under HER name, I thot we were really above the software... Haha in the end, cannot open. So we reopened my files and tried again. Then Horny was going to type in batch FOUR's particulars when I realised...

JUST NOW, got batch 4! now dun have! FYI, batch 4's disappearance is good news to us coz it was one of those problematic ones... Checked Trial Balance to see how far we were from our goal. Click here and there to see what we needed or didn't needed... Re-entered information once. Checked Trial Balance. Hmmm, still something missing... Re-entered information twice. Checked Trial Balance, mmmh! betta. Re-entered information thrice...

"YES!" "FUCK YES!" HAHAHAHA

- ya'all noe howda read anot?? INstead of going YES! simultaneously with me, Horny went "FUCK!" first...

SOO HILARIOUS! Then she hammered her fists like a duracell bunny... we were SOOO HAPPY! but not happy enough to make me forget to ask her:

"HaHaHA! Why did you say Fuck first?!"

Horny: "hahahahaha, I don't know! (cups her mouth and laughs somemore) Hahaha, Habit la!"

Mey: You're just a vulgar person la!

So we went to hand in our ACHEIVEMENT. Then I was reading her Crap English and How To Use It Book and I saw the new yorkers had a TERRIBLE way of pronounce simple words like yourself, myself etc bloody simple words. So I said to Horny, "Eeee! how come lydat wan?! Always become Awlus?!"

She said "Ya, it's lydat one.. they have a problem speaking their own language.. Hahaha. Actually I rmb there's this country thats the worst one... (squints one eye and thinks) where arh... ..."

"Timbaktu arh?" Hahahha!
- because there was once during an ITAB lab exercise, she put in the heading Timbaktu Polytechnic instead of Singapore Poly...

Finally, at the lift lobby, I look at Horny, and plucked up the courage to say...

"Can you gimme a high-5 for the record?"
-coz we usually avoid the '5' at the last moment by touching our hair, turning away, missing intentionally...

She said, "OK." And really gave me a high 5. Haha, but it was quite nerdy, more like we made a high-PACT... *PIAAK*


Quite sick of blogging already... the post for today's fart, i mean FUN, is already so long lar. To think Istill wanna blog for CRS and STATS lessons. CANNOT LIAO ARRRRGH!!!

Do you even know what a Free-rider is?

This is something I wanted to said a long time ago.

Everybody, Picture this.

A team member does a head start on the 5-member GROUP project without informing the other group members. Then this team member sends out a 30-slide powerpoint presentation to the rest of the team, and asks if anyone has anything to add on top the work he has done. Another two team members pair up and decide to edit the powerpoint by cutting out the excessive information, and at the same time leaves comments stating why they did so and why those information should be left out. On top of that, the pair adds on 6 slides that are not as in-depth as the initial 30 slides. They send their small contribution back to that team member. That was the last time they heard from him.

However the "high-initiative" team member takes it badly that the pair deleted so much of his copy-and-paste research, he in turn ignores their rationale of doing it and deletes their contributions altogether. He then keeps the final outcome of the presentation to himself and a close friend, who is also in the group, and leaves the rest of the team assuming that the it is in the modified state they had last seen. Before the day of presentation, this team member sends out the script he prepared for the entire team. Then, spliting the presentation into sections labelled only by their numbers (1-8, 9-18 and so on), he tells the remaining 4 team members to pick parts to present on.

On the day of presentation, the appaling truth on what the "team leader" had done sets in on 3 of the group members. Their contributions were gone and the whole presentation was back to square one. Slide after slide, redundant and extremely technical information was flashed, leaving the audience and themselves with very puzzled looks. The "team leader" and his friend chooses to overlook this glaring point and continues to read, word for word, off their scripts.

As the presentation wears on, the presenatation grader taps on his watch and frowns, while the moderator slums over his table. Frustration and distress begins to show clearly on thru the body language and facial expressions of the 3 group members. Soon, they can no longer hold it off, and tells the presenting party to stop reading off the script altogether. YET, he rigidly continues to do so...

'Til a point where the grader tells the group straight, to skip everything that is left move on to presenting the 3D-model. Tragically, the 2nd presentor still stubbornly tries to finish his part before the whole team screams at him to STOP.

After it all ends, the 3 digusted group members storms out of the room while the script-reading duo goes up to the grader and the moderatot to enquire how badly they did. The moderator points out that teamwork is obviously lacking and the other 3 group members made faces during their presentation. This is where the duo goes on to say that the 3 team members are free riders and they did not contribute "anything" but critism to their powerpoint. Then they request to split up and to handle the next assesment by themsleves...

(Of course the stupid grader bought their cock-and-bull story.)

From the above illustration, I would like to point out that the above accusation is a startling mis-use of vocab here. Because a free-rider is someone who DOES not contribute anything to the group project. Deleting somebody's contributions, no matter how meager, does NOT make him/her a free-rider, but it sure makes YOU a scheming, conniving, manipulating brat and liar. Maybe you didn't mean it; only because your grasp of english is only up to THAT level.

I think it's pretti darn obvious who and what i'm talking about. I don't need anyone to agree with me, but at least the truth is out. I actually know both sides of the story ok... I won't keep all the shit to myself anymore. That's what you get for rolling your sparsely-lashed, protruding eyeballs at ME when I didn't even do or say anything! You're beneath me. PERIOD.

Making Educated Choices

This is a special report from today's Straits Times. Dammm! I thot, Dragon Year didn't write, now then gan yuan publish this stuff. So evil, must have been tracking our progress, that's why they publish now la.

OK cut to the chase, this is the report:
Myths and facts around Poly education.

"The polys are for those who can't make it to JC."
FACT: (intro paragraph) Last Year, about 30% of the 20,000 students who enrolled in the 5 polys also made the cut for JCs

"It is difficult for a poly student to make it to the local universities."
FACT: (intro paragraph) Currently, about 10% of a poly cohort make it to unversity here, compared to 73% of a JC cohort. By 2010, 15 % of a poly cohort will have a place in the local universites.

"JCs are for those aiming to go on to university, while polys are for those who want to go straight to work."
FACT: (intro paragraph) About 60% of poly grads go on to complete a degree within 5 years of receiving their diplomas.

"JC is a shorter route to university."
FACT: (intro paragraph) A student who takes the poly-varsity route can graduate with a degree in 4 years, while a studentwho takes the JC-varsity route would need a minimum of 5 years.

"JC students are more prepared for university, so they fare better than their classmates from the polys."
FACT: (intro paragraph) 1 out of 5 poly upgraders at NTU finishes with first-class honours.
-Both NUS and NTU professors had only goods things to say about former polytechnic students.

"Polys offer only technical and business courses."
FACT: (intro paragraph) Each poly offers between 25 to 35 courses now.

A separate column from this report:

'It depends on your learning style

If you ike a structured and guided curriculum, with a school-like environment, the junior college path may be what you are looking for.

However, if you are inclined towards a learning approach that is more hands-on, with more project work, the polytechnics could be more suitable.

So, how do you tell what is your learning style?

Polytechnic counsellors often ask prospective students who seek their advise about their hobbies and interests, and also what kind of lessons they enjoy or learn best from.

This makes it easier for them to help the students make a choice.

"If a student says that he could not understand a topic from his teacher's lesson or by reading a textbook, but itall makes sense after he gets to do an experiment or project work - then he is more suited for the polytechnic style of learning," says Singapore Polytechnic counsellor Lee Ee Tat.'

My own say: What is a school like environment u say? It's the environment we study in in secondary school and primary. If U love/ loved it, you should be in JC

By "project work", it means nothing near the secondary school standard of project work. DO NOT under-estimate this term. Once you go to poly, it's a whole new ball game. You have to work with all sorts of people. People older than, people younger than you, people whose values or character(s) clash with you... You've absolutely no idea ok.

Unless you have a close sibling who is in poly, and he/she often complains to you about working with "that !@#$%*" who always does this and this *&^%$#@ who never does anything", u have NO IDEA. Just picture someone with an absolutely imaginable character/ personality. Think of some dramatic evil person whom you think you would never meet in your lifetime. Got it? Then imagine that this person is IN YOUR CLASS, and you accidentally formed a group with him/her, and you have to stick with this person for a WHOLE semester...

Hahahahahaha!!!

Good luck to you.

On the other hand, imagine a place where only you yourself, and erhh you, are responsible for everything and anything you do. No one to stop you from entering and leaving school when you are late or not feeling well. No one to tell you how to behave, how to talk in the canteen, what colour bra to wear or even when to do your homework. To tell you straight, they don't care. But put in a nicer way, you are a matured individual who can and shall take care of yourself. Alot of freedom.

And people act differently too. You seldom see people doing silly things to draw attention to themselves. No screaming, jostling, laughing amok in the canteen, no ah-beng and ah-lians terrorising the school toilets or stairways or trying to look impressive with their tucked-out shirts, rolled up skirts and sleeves. In Poly, students just want to look ASAP. As Smart As Possible. (smart here means pleasent and presentable dress-sense hor)

Of course, the eye-rolling stuff and the rare I-complain-to-'cher-about-you acts still occurs, they are mostly carried out by childish individuals who feels less secure and more pathetic about themselves. No need to tell these little people get to ya. Mmh. That's about it.

Quite depressed about mob la... hai, bad results one after another. how... can I blame the teacher? coz she's abit CMI wan.

On seeing the grade she gave us yesterday, I went "Wah lao, I've never gotten this kind of grade before leh... I've only gotten As and some Bs... and Fs, but never this! So demoralising."

Then went to "confront" the tan-too tr. she sorta convinced us tt our class' reports really sucked.

Ok ok, cannot put words into her mouth... 05's reading this: she did not say that arh, DID NOT OK?

haiz.. sian. really regret going for MOB man. Tuesdays somemore- no perks. the lesson just spoilt everything lor. My mood, my throat, my nose... den I ended up leaving school early and missing 3 lessons. STUPID!!!

Even seeing Edison right after Mob din help. Dammit, mob is a plain party-pooper!

"How long has it been since you praised someone?"

This was how the movie started. the atmosphere was awesome as around 3-quaters of the cinema was occupied. There were kids, teens (still in sch-U's), adults, and the le ling (folks in their golden years). Hahahaha.

But I strongly oppose with one part of this movie... how can Jack Neo let Cheng Cai's father DIE?! Cannot! I don't like... the characters were crapping, "U look much better now. U'll be discharged within 1 to 2 days. at most 2 days."

Then the next scene was his yi zhao (funeral photo).

I went "SHIT!"

But nearly the rest of the viewers went "AARHAHAHAHAHAR!!"

My goodness... the way he landed when he fell down the flight was stairs, was almost morbid. He had landed in an "up side down" position, his head went "Crack" against the concrete floor. I was thinking, Oh no, he's gonna die. Just like that. So unfair. If that was to happen in real life, shouldn't the stupid hog grabbing and swinging him around, and ultimately tossing him down the stairs, be liable for 2nd degree murder or sumthing? Hai, I'm so qi gek... hahaha

And Wanyi, I noe u don't want him to die too, but why couldn't you see that the fall was quite, erm... fatal? It's so ERR-XIN la, so ke lian, so *SOBS* *WEEPS*

There's also a flaw in the storyline... how come Jerry didn't visit or console his "blaather" Cheng Cai when the latter's father was in hospital? Doesn't anyone find that weird? They're supposed to best friends ok! When Jerry was in trouble, Cheng Cai flew to the rescue and beat 4 Pai Gias. They also rebelled against the Chinese-Old-Foggy teacher and joined a gang and robbed an old lady together.

Then where was Jerry when Cheng Cai's father was hosipitalised?! Urgh! After the Old lady let them off, the movie should show Jerry's concern for Cheng Cai's safety lor!But it seemed he was too absorbed in his own problems to care about the "life and death" of his best friend... While Jerry's family hugged and cried, Cheng Cai's father died... Kao, what is this teaching man? Details, people, details!

Why do I seem so critical about some small parts of the local favourite "I Not Stupid Too?" Na la...Just like the saying used in the movie, evrything has a good and bad side (more accurately, there are 2 sides to a coin). So, since everyone on TV rained praises on the movie, I'm here to balance things out lor... Yeah! O.oV

And seriously, although it is an educational film, I doubt anyone who watch it will really be inspired to change for the better and patch up their realtionship or make a conscious effort to improve how they communicate with their family. I mean, people do hope that the positive side of things does happen, but... we'll see.

I'm certain the few delinquent kids who watch this might give some thought about straightening themselves out, but after a fwe good laughs, and some sleep, they'll probably forget about the contents and the lessons that were brought across thru this movie. On what grounds do I say that? Who knows, maybe I'm one of them too.

Why? intrigued already right? That's my motive actually, he get people to watch this film. It's the no. 1 S'porean (PG) movie leh! HAHAHAHA!

Is it PG arh? jialat...

The Chinese Alarm Clock

Wah kaoz... Woke up to the sound of the lion-dance troupe this morning! So loud!!! The sound came from EVERYWHERE!

I looked out of my window to see the dance troupe coz I thot the shops across the streets invited them... then it sounded nearer. So I tried to spot them among the masinette (duno how to spell la). Aye! dun have again! By then I was quite awake, so I walked into the living room.. Wah! Even louder! And when I looked outside, WAH!

No, the dance troupe was performing 8 storeys in mid-air...

I just saw so many people looking out their windows to THAT direction. So I ran to my balcony and looked! Wah Biang!!! This one HDB unit actually invited their dance troupe to their house at 9 freakin am!!!

And I could feel this aura in the air- everyone were cursing at them... I took some pictures of the surrounding blks. Because the arrangement of the blks around here forms a rectangular space foe the carpark, the echo reverberated through the neighbourhood, BOUNCING OFF all the walls in in everyone's flat!

Will try to update lata about Chinese New Year... What a bloody hectic 4-day break...

Toxic frenz 0.o

I LURVE this: Quoted from Pat's blog. stargalpat.blogspot.com

*Always pourin wet blanket at u? Or u jus cant seem to be happy with her/him/them?

#The Narcissist
"I" is the first word of every sentence she utters. She goes on and on abt the cute guy she met in the pub last night, how rude the bouncer was to her, etc.. Zzzzzz.. Whole conversation is abt her.. N when it's ur time to speak, its' abt whether u tink she shud call that cute guy -_- n how she shud deal with the bouncer.

-Why is she like tt?
She's just frightened n insecure. She may not be tryin to be selfish (or even be aware that she is). She just behaves like tt bcos she lacks self-esteem.

-Wat u can do?
Giv her a chance to listen to u instead.

#The Underminer
She has so little self-esteem that the only way to boost it is to put others down. She loves to belittle n ridicule ppl n if she does give a compliment, it is usually of a backhanded nature. Instead of complimentin how great the jeans make u look, she says, "Oh! it hides ur chunky thighs really well!" and that leaves u wonderin whether ur thighs really are that chunky.

-Why is she like tt?
Insecure n self-loathin. She critises u bcos u hav sth she wants n by puttin u down, she's tryin to convince herself she is better oof without what u hav. This person may also have had experiences of being disappointed or betrayed by others (even durin childhood), which leads her to be extremely cynical and critical of others.

-Wat u ca do?
Try to get her to see the good sides off ppl.

#The Snob
Thinks she is superior to everyone else when deep down, she's really strugglin with insecurity. She has to name-drop and hang out at the chicest club in order to feel any sense of self-worth. Condescendin and tends to talk down to ppl.

-Why is she like tt?
Insecure. Has decided to focus on the material or external aspects of her personality. Instead of developin inner self, she has decided that the only beauty that matters is external beauty.

-Wat u can do?
Get her to understand tt ppl can be beautiful both internally n externally n tt internal values n characters are more important than material or external assets.

#The bean spiller
Cant keepa secret to save her life. Only reason why she loves to gossip is bcos it makes her feel important n powerful when frens flock to her for latest news. Thinks bringin u privileged info wii endear her to u. Enjoys diggin up ppl's dirt, smart enought to never divulge anything she doesnt want ppl to kow abt.

-Why is she like tt?
Lacks control power in her life so she feels better if she is able to wield influence over others. May hav been neglected as a child n experienced great difficulties overcomin fear of bein abandoned. Thus she builds up her ego by findin out important n intimate details abt others n uses tis info to control her relationship with others.

-wat u can do?
Subtly let her know u remain frens with her not bcos of the power or influence she has over ppl but cos u actualli like her for the person she is.

#The woe-is-me mate
Thinks the world is against her n perpetually wallows in self-pity. Her energy drains u mentally when she complains about how miserable life is. She wants u to sympathise with her but she doesnt heed ur advice. In fact, she rarely takes action to change the things that are makin her unhappy. Accordin to her, nothing ever goes right for her n it's always everybody else's fault, never her own. She always responds to ur advice with a "yeah.. but.." n go on explainin why her problems wont submit to ur solutions. (sounds like somebody aye.. -_-)

-Why is she like tt?
Insecure. Uses pessimism to guard herself against bad news-just so she can say 'i told u so' if sth bad happens. tis person forgets to celebrate life's little pleasures n daily joys.

-Wat can u do?
Nothing. :)

Aye.. saw tis in Female's magazine.. YEah.. Interestin? :D *

I wanna add something in...

Which one are YOU?

Ahhahaha!~

(I don't mean pat, i mean, anyone reading this!)

Full of 'sense

Lesson Number One

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do
nothing all day long?"

The crow answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the Rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson Number Two

A turkey was chatting with a bull.
"I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the
turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."

Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull.

They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and
found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch
of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the
tree. Soon, he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of
the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Number Three

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow
dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!

The morals of this story are:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut
