No, that’s not lotto numbers. In case you still think it is some sort of magic numbers…let me tell you, it is a so-called perfect measurement of a lady’s figure.

I watched the news 10 minutes ago and was told that Denmark has found from their studies that ladies who have fuller buttocks -> longer lives. I tried to remember as much as I can from the news: The substance in our buttocks acts as anti-flammatory that will helps to prevent coronary disease and diabetes. It is a good news for those who are totally obsessed about their hips, isn’t it?

I told my students that being confidence is more than just being 36 24 36. There is no point to ‘photoshop’ your nose in every single picture you have if what your are actually lacked of is SELF-CONFIDENCE. I do agree that ladies should always look pretty but if one has become totally obsessed about it…it can be very harmful. There are people I know who wouldn’t step out of the house or meet anyone without make-up. Also, people who constantly complain about their hips, thighs, breasts, nose, eyes…ANYTHING they can find in their bodies to complain about! Sometimes I just wish to tell them to get a life. It is not like they are born without a nose or something. They have a perfect nose and everything and yet, they complain.

If we can perceive beauty in another perspective, then we’ll have more happy people in the world. I have a totally fabulous friend who is always happy and positive. She once told me to observe those rich ‘tai tai’ looks. She said most of them usually have big noses, slightly ‘fleshy’ and definitely have fuller buttocks! And true enough, most of them fit into her descriptions. She did some studies about face reading and she said those are the ‘assets’ and ‘qualities’ that made them ‘tai tai’. She said women with fuller noses can bring their husbands luck too. Ahahaha..I am not sure if any of these is true but think of this way, isn’t it a great way to stop someone complaining about their big noses and start to appreciate of what they have? My mom used to joke about having fuller buttocks can give birth to many kids. Haha…according to some old grandmother’s belief in olden days, mother-in-laws preferred women with fuller buttock as their daughter-in-laws, so to give birth many many kids. Ahahaha..And during the ‘Tang Dynasty – 4 beauties’, they even had the so-called ‘prosperous’ looks, a.k.a fleshy. So, just be yourself, be happy and healthy!

It is the most tiring day at work so far. I had 11 hours of classes, back to back with no break at all. All because of make-up classes for Vesak last Friday. There is no way to rearrange my timetable as all the make-up classes have to be done on Thursday. I supposed to have classes from 9-8pm with no breaks in between. But thanks to my buddy, who helped me to arrange some short breaks in between my classes, then I was able to catch a quick 15 minutes lunch.

Awww…I was already so exhausted 3 hours before my class end. I had no idea how I can hang on there without fainting….At the end of day, when I reached home, I collapsed on my couch and fell asleep. My mom tried to wake me up for dinner but I just knocked out like my soul had flown to some neverland. Man…when I woke up at 9 plus to have my dinner, then I realised I was almost starve to death. What a day…:(

I have been eating a lot since Thursday night. Had a japanese buffet and loaded myself with countless of sashimi on Thursday, pork ribs on Friday night, chinese full course lunch and etc..:P

Something that I want to share with you when I went to the immigration. There was vehicles seized by police which demonstrated how people smuggled into Singapore by modifying vehicles and hid smugglers at the hidden compartments. It was very sad and gross. Most of them were given a breathing tube when hiding under the car.

The backseats were modified to contain 2 smugglers. Both of them were give breathing tube.

"..upon opening the boot of the car, the officers discovered a set of speakers occupying the car boot. This aroused the officer’s suspicion and they decided to remove the passenger seats. They found 2 immigration offenders hiding behind the set of speakers.

It is indeed very sad that people are willing to do almost anything to survive..:(

Frances Yip’s concert

Alright..let’s talk about something blissful. It was a mother’s day concert and I was very grateful to be able to go for Frances Yip’s concert. I am not her big fan but I do know that she is a great singer. Together with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, they pulled through a fantastic concert. She was older than I expected but still, her voice enchanted every one of us.

8000 people!! And the tickets were sold out! Can’t get a good view of the stage though…the good seats sold out very fast..:(

Can’t see her either..:(

I love when she sings ‘Memories’. I love all her english songs. She can speak good english, mandarin and of course cantonese. The way she speaks (english) reminded me of Julie Andrew. Her pronouncation…her lips..She spoke quite a bit of cantonese though. At that moment, I was glad that I can understand cantonese and was able to laugh at her jokes *wink*

Taxi MADNESS!!

You won’t believe this.
We knew that at least third of the audience probably need to catch a cab. We left slightly earlier to avoid the jam and the taxi queue. We expected to see long queue of people and taxis in front of the stadium, but guess what, there wasn’t any taxi and queue in sight! Everyone was looking for taxi frantically everywhere. I came across a lady driver reading newspaper in her cab. As I approached her, she gave me a very cold look and didn’t even bother to look at me. Then another old lady approached her and asked at least she could help us by telling us where the taxi stand was. She said:"Aiyar, you don’t need to look for cab anywhere lar! They won’t drive in (stadium) here one lar!!"

What do you mean they don’t drive in here?? You mean they were hiding somewhere???

Later then I remembered that they might be waiting for passengers to call for service. You know when you call to book a taxi, you need to pay an extra of $4 or $2.50..depending on the hours. No wonder all the taxis were hiding somewhere.

We were so frustrated and we didn’t want to look elsewhere…so I just called to book a taxi. The system said I had to wait for 5-8 minutes. But as I expected, the taxi reached within 2 minutes. Sure he was hiding somewhere very near to us..Argh…what to do..???
Shocking indeed…:(

"Take a look at the ordinary

It was a day that I have angels gathered around me. Beautiful friendship, the unconditional love of a mother and innocent and carefree children.

My first time at Singapore beach.
Pasir Ris. Er..the beach was a bit..er..dissapointing though.

I was invited by my colleague to attend her class bbq at Pasir Ris. Although it was drizzling throughout the evening but I had so much fun! I was so entertained by her 2 beautiful and angelic kids. They were so lovely that I can’t keep my eyes off them. We talked, we played sand and ball, we sang…Ahh…it was wonderful! When their little warm hands held mine, I can feel my heart melted with warmth glowing inside my heart. We talked about power puff girl, and I have learnt a new story character called ‘Zucchini in bikini’ from the little boy. They both have the longest eyelashes I have ever seen. Even the fake one doesn’t even come close to theirs! Wow…makes me feel like having my own kids now.

Aren’t they adorable!!

One thing about them was, they were so honest about their feelings. Sometimes I wish we can be like that forever. Both of them told me that they liked me and I was…so…HAPPY and TOUCHED! If we can be so frank like them, man…imagine how happy we have made others. They even told their mommy that they wanted to take me home. Aww….:)

My colleague has a student who has muscular dystrophy since young. He is on his wheel chair all the time. His mother accompanies him to school and even to class everyday. She helps him in writing sometimes and feeds him as well. When people joked that his mother should get the same diploma as him, he said his mom deserves a diploma in childcare instead. How touching!!! His mom even prepared so many food for the bbq.

His classmates were very helpful and caring. He has a neighbour (a teen girl) who takes care of him very well. She follows him almost everywhere he goes. When I saw her putting glasses on his face…I was so deeply touched. In fact, I met them during their O level result release 3 months ago. Never thought he enrolled in the same diploma too. Fate…
