its the answer to any female road warrior looking for a recharge.

its 30 this year

haha. found an excellent old post on women hitting the big 3-0 by andy rooney. its worth a good read again!


- A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask,"What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think
- If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting
- A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a hoot what you might think about her or what she's doing
- Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course,if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it
- Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated
- A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her bestfriend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her
- Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They always know
- Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her

Yes, women over 30 are praised for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realise it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage."

haha, how i love prolific writers!

about awesome tattoos


by tattoo magu's man, she does awesome work with soft pretty colors
this is by kami (also from tattoo magu), absolutely love the shading work
can't remember where she found this but its been one of her favourites for the longest time. the design itself is not unique but the placement of it and how it sits so naturally near the arch is lovely

about random thoughts

what's funny to you may not be to others. we can giggle about someone's really weird choice of haircut for one day but there is no need to crucify a person forever by immortalizing their haircut "fiasco" in the agency newsletter. its nasty and hurtful to make someone feel like they are the joke even though they should have known better.

ad agencies can be such unforgiving places.

about expectations

she's a victim of the expectation economy.

she's been through the sweet, the bittersweet and sometimes, sour moments.

so pls don't fucking blame her for having all these preconceived notions of how things should be in her ideal world.

the world is watching you fool

ok, she's going to break her new year resolution of no bitching. figured she's not a very nice person and shouldn't try to pretend like one (but it was good while it lasted anyway).

its amazing how some people are so naive to think they can go on medical leave at least once a week, disappear throughout the most crucial periods when they are most needed and think they can get away with it. er...hello?

she once told a writer: "XX will rise to the occasion (pause) ... by taking leave"

this theory is apparently applicable to a few people, including the one who sings off key while banging at the keyboard at 100 decibels per second on MSN.

honestly, you get what you give.

about naggy stuffy fathers

if there's anything to piss her off first thing in the morning, its the pseudo master and his never ending naggism.

when you make a point once, its ok. twice repeated, its tolerable. thrice repeated, its irritating. but going on and on for the rest of a 20 minute car drive? FUCKING ANNOYING.

she dreads conversations with the father cos he's always quick to assume and the sanctimonious attitude always brings out the ugliest in her, particularly with her impatience. she always walks away feeling like the brat who didn't know how to show respect to fathers. argh.

thank god for sweet kind mommies.

she wants little girls, not little boys.

boys are e.v.i.l.

childhood dream: artist. fashion designer. lawyer. writer
childhood nightmare: being alone (probably the reason why i am legend freaked her out)

appreciates: considerate people. integrity. being loved. self-indulgence

always in: birkies. granny stuff

inspiration from grace jones that still puts a smile on her face

random thought- fuss free travel

it would cost them $8,600 for a 13-day/9 nights (based on 2 to go) for a south america outing to chile, argentina and brazil but at least it takes the worry bout getting accomodations, day travel and food sorted.

sometimes, its just nice to relax and leave it to the pros for a fuss free travel.

about REALLY weird things

it all started with ernie and shumei while we were all chilling under the tree at mr van der beek's place on xmas eve.

go check out 2girls1cup on google. it's sick but you have to watch they said, the reaction videos of people who've watched the site (on youtube) is priceless.

so they piqued our curiosity, and we watched.

hahaha. they failed to warn mak the contents may make him throw up. anyhow, the other half walked out after catching 5 seconds worth of footage. as i was watching the 3 videos, i was trying to figure out at the same time if this shit (literally) is for real, how can they possibly enjoy what they're doing i absolutely cannot imagine.

copraphilia sure is weird. only for the select few sia.

watch it ONLY if you have a strong stomach.

one of the drivers why she chose to move out of singapore. at least there's a chance she might get to own one of these 10 years from now if she works hard.
