one thing i've learnt is that the pretty girl always gets the guy. or GUYS, for the matter. BUT! then again, the pretty girls seem to be the ones whose relationships dont last. whereas, their less-attractive peers eventually settle down in long-lasting, fulfilling relationships. im not saying this rule applies to all girls, just that its pretty apparent most of the time.
well i've reasoned out that the pretty girls get the guy(s) so easily simply because they dont have to try so hard. they just stand around, look pretty and/or act cute (oh so common among singaporean teenaged girls especially). whereas their average looking, less-than-perfect peers actually gotta have a personality (thats right.. PERSONALITY.. which everyone says is what they look for first in a partner.. oh please! *rolls eyes* ..) to make themselves stand out and actually get the guy's attention. and its these girls with the rockin' personalities that triumph in the end.. cos the guys (well, make that the less superficial ones with a brain) realize they dont wanna spend each day and night staring at a pretty portrait with no substance apart for its appearance. they'd much rather have someone who can actually talk sense.
so, is the grass greener on the other side?
not always ...
just a thought.

ok, am i just superbly suay (unlucky) or what?
as i mentioned previously, the doctor's medicine did not seem 2b working. and it still wasnt working right up to 7am this morning, where once again i awoke with a raging fever. had been feverish on and off for the past 3 days, with no signs of abation.
so at 8am my parents decided to take me to another doctor. all the way back in serangoon garden (yeah where my house is being renovated).
turns out the first doctor i went to see totally screwed up my medication. he gave me double dosage of antibiotics (which is WRONG and dangerous according to doctor no.2), and the other cough/flu/fever medications not only worsened my throat, it also gave me constipation and made me extremely drowsy.
doctor no.2 was saying its a good thing i came to see him and told me and my dad tt doctor no.1 was unreliable cos apparently tt first clinic tt i went to was up for sale. doctor no.2 said it used to be run by an old doctor but this new doctor (doctor no.1) must have bought over the clinic. so he probably has little experience.
what the hell. just when i thought things couldnt get any worse.
anyways, after taking doctor no.2's medicine and some sleep i felt instantly better.. better than i've ever felt in the last 3 days.
what a relief. still sick, but at least am on the road to recovery.

been sick for the past 3 days. since yesterday and today been having fever on and off. and not just any fever - HIGH FEVER.
this is so weird cos i hardly ever fall sick, except for the occasional cold which disappears like in a day.
currently am suffering from a combination of headache, fever, flu and sore throat.
was dragged off to the doctor by my parents 6 panadols and 4 teaspoons of cough syrup later (which obviously didnt work). i think i must be down with something horrible cos even after taking the doctor's medicine i dont seem to be improving.
as a result of being ill was unable to meet the ij girls today. damn upset, but there was no way i could get out of the house without fainting on the way.
despite all this shit somehow i managed to complete a powerpoint due next wk. i have tons of assignments to finish.
need to get well asap.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!
was supposed to go slp abt 45mins ago but for some strange reason i was compelled to read my past blog entries.. and here i am.. still reading.
since i dont keep a diary anymore thank god for technology and thank god for blogs. reading all those past entries brought back memories tt i'd long forgotten.. i didnt stuff and experienced stuff that i dont even remember doing or feeling.. wow.
now im just wishing i blogged more, in more detail. but usually just a few words and a lil elaboration is enough to cue the memories.
this post i made.. on 22nd july 2006.. although a year plus has passed i still feel exactly the same way as i did then when writing it.. and i never thought i'd be able to come up with such posts.. haha.. i need to be inspired again!
anyways here it is:

when ur so busy caught up in ur own life, it never really strikes u how much u miss out and leave behind.
scrolling thru friendster, clicking on pple here & there, i stumble uopn so many old friends.. pple of my past. and i find myself digging out the memories buried deep in my heart.. memories which i totally forgot or didnt even know were there.
and im struck by such a great sadness that i have 2 stop and just... think for awhile. think how i let it get 2 this stage. think abt all those i left behind, as i was rushing thru my life.
a part of me wants 2 rekindle some of those old friendships.. but i know that will never happen. i wouldnt really know where 2 start. with time the distance has grown, and once great friendships are no more, but only of the past.
maybe this is part of life.. pple walk in and out of it. only a few remain in the long run, and thats if u make an effort to keep it that way. sure u can be bestfriends, but if u let work, studies and other commitments interfere, there's never any guarantee that you'll always stay that way. that's what's so sad.
i remember all my best friends. each and every single one of them. but im ashamed that i have not made the effort 2 keep in contact. as a result, i don't even know where half of them are. the rest.. well, some i have on friendster, some i happen 2 just bump into on the streets and we pass each other by w/o even saying hello. coz maybe that ex-bestfriend of mine has forgotten me. or maybe she remembers. but there is nothing 2 say. no point in acknowledging. and with a backward glance that moment, that opportunity is gone. and it was probably my only chance.
everyone has moved on. no one really stays the same. i see my ex-best friends, friends, ex-classmates, schoolmates & acquaintences leading their own lives, making their mark and finding a place in society.
what abt me? how much have i changed? a hell lot, i'm sure. im still finding myself, in a way.
gawd, i miss those carefree times of innocence. where problems involved stupid stuff like quarrelling with the teacher cos u wanted 2 sit with a certain best friend/friend in class. how simple things were.
i'm big now. and age has opened our eyes to the real world. sometimes, i'd like 2 shut it all out.. and go back.
pple come and go.. but the memories remain forever.

well i fell sick today, no thanks to the sucky temperamental weather of late. as a result could not meet joanna and lz. oh wells.
am still looking forward to the ij girls gathering on thurs, and am better now after some much needed rest. despite it being the weekends, i have yet to get a good night's sleep.
but you know what? i'd still say today turned out good.
thank you, you. you know who you are! :)

ok i cant help it.. am in a holiday mood already!
dont blame me, i have the whole christmas week off. sure its just one week, but i'd take it anytime!
most of my friends are having their school break now, and its beginning to rub off me.. the anticipation of the approaching holidays is getting me all excited!
strange that its the sales period and i cant think of anything i really need to get. which is probably for the best since i really need to save anyways.
yay for the holidays! :D

a really nice chinese mtv.. i like the story line.. especially the ending. makes me sad though.
just a thought..
at this point of time, almost everyone's either hooking up or already attached. how long more before the wedding invitations and... the kids?
im looking at the facebooks' of my friends and i realize how everyone has changed in the span of a few years.
sometimes, it seems like we're all growing up too fast, too soon.

weekends = sleeping for 11 hours straight doing absolutely nothing productive online till late reading trashy chic lit
hooray for the weekends!

just so freakin' shagged.
hardly any energy to do anything.
this is what happens when u procrastinate and be lazy and let ur assignments pile up. so now i have to rush to meet deadlines, on top of trying to adjust to waking up early in the morning for lessons (YES, am still trying).
no doubt i have mondays off, but by the time i get to fri im totally sapped, and weekends are spent catching up on rest and lost hours of sleep.
christmas is coming!
but for a few years now, christmas is just.. christmas. i dont know, it kinda seems to have lost its meaning, and the decorations and carols dont seem to do it for me anymore.
