weekly roundup

Weekly round-up

1) Cousin getting married! *feels a tear coming on* Not like very very soon but the proposal is a significant step forward!

2) The Secret works. Woke up this morning after such a hearty meal last night and was DAMN SURPRISED! Eat more to lose weight?

3) I am rather proud of myself. When forced to have meals together with friend's friends, am able to smile, look interested, carry a conversation and act like we have been super good friends for the longest time. Not bad right? I believe I only failed once because that guy had an irritating face -dislike!-
Isn't that like the basic thing to do? At least smile and look friendly. Otherwise, people will think you damn haolian!

4) I wished I wouldn't go to ulu pandan and I didn't! However, I'm not 100% overjoyed with the result either. Whatever it is, I AM TELLING MYSELF:
I will be thankful for what God has planned for me. (Yes, God influenced the decision-maker definitely! Always!)
I will make the most of it because God chose this path for me at the crossroads.
I will be positive!

Whenever things get bad, I tell myself that God meant for it to happen so that I can learn something. Seriously, you learn something new every day. It doesn't have to be something you can clearly see i.e. pick up a new skill. It could be something very intangible - handling a difficult person, deflecting an insult, getting out of doing something, being a bitch.
Last one is important. You don't want people thinking you are good to bully. Some people deserve to be put in their place. Short of cutting their tongue off, it's good to be skillful in veiling your insults so the person is like, did she just insult me or am I overly-sensitive?

5) Is it just me or do others also think that guys who are not goodlooking nor rich should have been bullied by their have-it peers because they're expected to live up to the image?
Totally don't look like you're from...! - that is my mild reaction.
