Wife Wanted!
Are you calling me a Whore?

When in Rome, be like the Romans..
Don't expect Romans to be Singaporeans.
Or Singaporeans to be China Nationals.
No pun intended for China Friends..
But for goodness sake, 'Xiao Jie' is nothing in our culture..
If your country folks prefer otherwise, 'Aunty/Uncle' makes a good alternative.
Take note, local darlings *winks*

Ma Bousculade Secrète
Ne vous regardez rien impressionnant le premier de peu de seconde quand je vous ai rencontré premièrement. Cependant, j'ai été écrasé par votre sens d'échéance, soignant l'esprit d'attitude et messieurs. J'ai apprécié votre accompagne beaucoup et a aimé surtout le voyage de natation et le premier film que nous avons regardés. J'espère sincèrement que vous ayez apprécié mon accompagne aussi :)

Thin is Not SEXY
I shared with nobody about my aneroxia issues when I was 19 because I feel proud secretly of being one at that time. Standing at 1.73m, my minimum weight at that time was 49kg.
Ms. Australia weighs 49kg too, except that she is much taller at 1.75m.
My eating problems begins when I was shortlisted for an airline job. Not that I was overweight or anything, just that the rest of my batchgirls are really petite and THIN. I was really jealous of their tiny frame!
It all started when a batch girl passed me some laxatives, she told me that it works on her.
I started taking it and went to the doctor to request for more. The doctor gave despite I had a healthy BMI.
In addition to taking the laxatives, I started counting calories.I gave excuses to miss meals and drink water when my body was begging for food. It started with missing one meal initially but eventually I stopped eating entirely. To act normal in front of my peers, I eat very slowly and gave excuses that I couldnt finish my meals. Or will just go for Milo when everybody is eating a normal meal.
My weight drop to 54kg in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed.
I continue with my disgusting ways to eat rotten food to induce diarrhoea, or digging my throat to induce vomitting after my meals. I also overdosed on the laxatives by taking twice the amount the doctor prescribed.
And I stop eating entirely because there was no hunger pangs. To stay alive I drink Pokka lemon tea.
I will stand naked before the mirror in my room, admiring the protruding ribcage, hipbones and sunken cheeks. There was no boobs left to fill even a cup A. I feel proud when my neighbours 'kaypoh' to my mum that I look too thin. I feel proud when I walk into fashion stores asking for size small or 24 inch pants. Eventually, I weighed only 49kg.
I blended in well with the rest of the girls because everyone was pencil THIN. But the auntie who tailored made my kebaya was nagging non-stop about the extra work she needs to do as the kabaya seems 'too big' for me everytime.
I feel lathargic,suffered irregular heartbeats,dry mouth and often breaks out in cold sweat. These are our body internal defence to guard remaining body mass.
On the way back from airline training centre, I felt a sudden numbness on the left side of my body. Being medically sound, I know the numbess on one side was either for stroke or epilepsy fits. These happens when the body sugar level is too low, the low blood count cause the heart to pump insufficient blood to the brain causing either fits or stroke.
I grab an ice-cream sundae at Mac's to load on the sugar. It is the fastest way to stay alive as the dissolved milk and chocolate will provide some cheap nutrients and sugar to my weak body.
I stop dieting & started eating..although I still count calories these days.
Many times, young girls envy the job I have but they wasn't aware of the ugly truth behind the beautiful faces. I'm not keen to share the details so as not to dampen their passion for flying.
Now, I weigh 57kg & the fats fills in the right places. It feels sexy to be curvy and comfortable in your own skin. Although, I missed the ribcage protruding days..some tone up at the gym will do the trick too :)
The main intention of posting this on my blog is to remind all young women that thin is not sexy. A sexy woman should physically have some curves and feels comfortable in her own skin. I think that is so irresistable *winks*
If you are also battling with aneroxia, please seek help! Aneroxic can kills!

Anticipation

I am even more grateful for all the good things that have yet to come into my life;
for it is then life taught me the meaning of Anticipation"

Sinful Thoughts
Faith.Love&Hope
Painful it may be..it didn't kill me, yet it make me stronger :)
It allows me to grow in wisdom and courage..something which I apparently lacks.
'God works in mysterious ways.' Matthew, my colleague comforted over lunch.
Yes, He surely did!!
Blessed with a change of team and new boss, the change was a welcoming one & I love it :)
The departure also brings new friendships and deepens existing ones.
Peiyu, Huiying, Shiyun, Jay, Andrew, JJ, Edmund, Melissa, Alvin, Claris and a dozen more..
And thank you Matthew for covering all my work duties in my absence..
I am deeply humbled & grateful with the outpour of love from all of you :)
No longer do I dwell in self pity nor sadness, for I've found my peace & love.
I was just sharing with jay moments ago my enthusiam to start class in Oct and my dream of becoming a school teacher :)
Hey Children, give me another 5 years to quit the rat-race..and we will celebrate Children & Teacher's day together!!
You've become part of History..
May you find peace, love and a sense of belonging too!
A friend once asked me if I have developed any phobia or fear out of this..
And the answer is strangely..No!!
The Maker tenderly heals & prepares..
When He closes one door..He opens another..
Have faith in Him..all Children of God
For the Father never gives a stone when his Children ask for a fish.
Let's continue to love the World just like Jesus did :)
Love all of you so much!
*Big Hug*

Victoria Secrets
Thy Faithful Love
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090406/tap-australia-animal-dog-offbeat-5a1703c.html
It may just be another survival tale to majority of you but let me share the unspoken love & will-power behind :)
What exactly drives a weak animal to swim 5 miles, eat carcasses & struggle for survival for 4 months?
Was it just sheer will-power alone?
Or was it something else?
To be honest, I can't even swim 5 miles in our friendly swimming pools (okay, I admit I'm lazy), let alone 5 miles in an open sea..taking in considerations the sea currents and waves.
Dogs are not born good swimmers, they do not have web-feet and usually paddles to keep afloat.
But this dog swam 5 miles to shore, weak and exhuasted.
Sophie was on the brink of dying.
But wait!!
As Sophie laid weak and dying on the island, something stirred in her.
Her love & devotion for her family, the children and the sweet old house..she called Home.
With the deepest love for her human family, it gives her a new sense of strong will-power to survive, in hope to see them again.
And mind you..Sophie is a house pet, and most prob was fed decent dog food not some dead goats. She put aside her needs, did all she can to survive 4 long months.
And finally, feel her JOY when she was reunited with her family :)
Sophie did not gave up hope when she was struggling alone in the teacherous sea and stuck on a remote island for 4 months (not 4 weeks/days).
The deep love for her human family gavesher hope and kept her going.
Now, how many of us gave up halfway in our pursue for something?
It can be a promotion at work..that you've been working very hard for or a lady/gentleman that you really adores.
Go..adopt the same will-power and bravery just like Sophie did ;)
If you have worked hard and contributed significantly, be brave and ask for that well-deserved promotion.
And..if you have been adoring that sweet lady or gentleman, be brave and share your feelings.
You could be on Cloud 9 if she/he reciprocates and a little bit disappointment if the good doesn't happens.
Well, at least now you can set your eyes on someone new.
So..with Will-power and Bravery, I shall attempt to swim 20 laps tomorrow.
Watch out for a sun-kissed me next week *winks*

Love in Doggy Style
And I've begin to take her presence for granted.
But despite all these, her love for me remains steadfast and true.
In exchange for these, she'll always there to share my joy, witness my tears and feel my anger.
Please don't commit the same mistake like me by neglecting someone precious to you.
Cause you never know when the Maker takes them Home..
And to Nike, I love you too!!
*WOOF*

So Parents, keep your eyes peel for surprises the next time you open the milk tin.
Maybe, Santa has got some early christmas presents for your baby :)

High Maintenance
Caught off guard by this awkward question, I was unable to gave him an answer.
How exactly does 'high maintenance' apply in this aspect?
Let's go back to Basic..the defination of 'Maintenance' as according to the Dictionary.
Maintenance-Noun
1.the act of maintaining.
2.the state of being maintained
3.care or upkeep, as of machinery or property
4.means of upkeep, support, or subsistence; livelihood: to provide a comfortable maintenance.
Alright, now we've got the defination..
Next, we will try to fit this noun into my daily life to see if 'high maintenance' is the appropriate noun.
Transport: SMRT Yishun ->Sommerset/Sommerset->Yishun
Breakfast: Skip
Lunch: Fish & Chip @Staff Canteen completed with ice milo
Dinner: Coffeeshop S-11, Foodcourts and love the Mutton soup at 747
Mobile equipments: Blackberry-Company owned
Accesories- Heels: to wear the heels until end of life, total 2 pairs
Bags: total 3, to use until end of life.
Clothes: never once owned a pair of levis, Giordano are good subsitute. Zara sales are good, load up during this period.
Folks, so how does the above noun fits into my lifestyle? *winks*
A Beautiful You~
During the coffee session, she was lamenting about how much her boyfriend neglected her, his irritable traits and other unfavorable details. It sounds really familar,doesn't it?
Many times in life, we always demand more time, more gifts and more attention from our partners.
Have we truly provided the same for them?
Dearest M, if you happen to chance upon this Blog..
I think it will do your relationship good if you can ponder about the question i posted above.
Guys, being boys and social creatures..
Go..let them run free with their buddies..let them go booze, be silly and catch all those football matches.
Be cool with it and don't check on him every hour/minute :)
Yeah, Damn!!
Most prob you're gonna feel lonely without his accompany. I truly understand this..
But wait!
Don't feel sorry for yourself. (The feeling is just hellish, i know)
Keep yourself busy by acquiring a new skill or pursue a hobby.
Wear your favourite dress + highest heels and strut the orchard road like a supermodel *winks*
Go on a short detox to clear out impurities and pimples.
Make the effort to excerise and lose 1 or 2 kg.
Wear your bikini and go for a good swim
Most guys will be grateful for the short breakaway with their buddies and it kills 2 birds with 1 stone with your new body, new skills and new friends :)
See, actually..self-actualization can be attained w/o him right?
But what if the good never happens?
Remove your slippers and smack some sense into him ;)
If it doesn't works..
Then..It is time to reconsider the relationship, dear M..
But fear not..with the new body, new skills and new friends, you have nothing to lose!
And most importantly, I will be there for more coffee sessions *winks*
Hope you feel better after this :)
And remember, You are Beautiful~
~hugs~

Beauty & Brains
Our dearest Ms. Universe 2008 who hails from Venezuela quoted on her Blog that ' Guantanamo is so relaxing, so calm & beautiful. I don't want to leave this place. It was an incredible experience!'
Oh Gosh, is she aware that Guantanamo is the shame and disgrace of USA?
To turn a torture camp into a prefered holiday destination is definately something I've never heard of.
Check out the article on this URL:
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/afp/20090402/tts-venezuela-us-guantanamo-people-972e412.html
Neverthless, I believe Donald trump has signed her up for some enrichment programs.
To side-track a little, the Ms. Universe Pageants are fully owned by Billionaire, Donald Trump- the man behind the The Apprentice.
I am equally guilty of making a similar statement recently while on a car ride with Gabriel.
Shame on me to say 'I've a friend who stayed in Persian' only to be corrected that Persian is a nationality, not a country. Ouch!
And to further prove my dumb state of mind, Gabriel continue to enlighten that Iran is the new state name for Persia.
I feel shameful but also hilarious in a form of self-depreciating joke.
To all Beautiful women out there, lets strive to be wisdom-filled and crush the traditional belief that beauty cannot co-exist with brains.
And yes! No more Persia or Persians..Only Iran and Iranians :)
love you all..
The Virgin Attempt
Yes! I am excited about sharing my wonderful world with all of my beloved friends and acquaintances.
But why titled 'My Wonderful World' instead of other fancy names?
Because the Book of Wisdom says to give thanks in all circumstances.
As simple as that, be thankful and look at the world with joy & simplicity..dosen't that make it a wonderful world?
