All I can say is, I'm sorry I'm so flawed.


"Something always brings me back to u, it never takes too long..."

"Don't call me past 11pm, it won't happen again. I'm not your late night booty call. You can call me at 10.59 but don't call me at 11 cuz that's my rule now..."

A really off-beat song but the lyrics are oh-so-true. Enjoy!

I'm officially a fan of IPL hair removal! For years I've been tweezing, waxing and shaving and whilst I've considered IPL as an option, I'd never got down to trying it til my waxing therapist persuaded me about 2 months ago to sign up for their package and since they were having a pretty good promotion, I thought to myself 'Why not?'.

So anyway I was feeling kinda nervous during my first session about 3 weeks back cuz I was lying there imagining what the pain might feel like but at the end of it, though the sensation wasn't quite pleasant, it wasn't unbearable. I could feel slight 'zapping', sort of like getting shocked by stronger static but the results after just 3 weeks is incredible! I'm like almost 'hair-less' after one session but that's also because I didn't have alot of hair to start off with. In other words, people who are hairier may need a few more sessions to be completely hair-free but I really lurrrve the results and I'm looking forward to my next session so I can say goodbye to reddened follicles irritated by plucking or shaving and say hello to smooth underarms haha!

It's also really super convenient since I don't have to use tweezers or shavers anymore so I'm really glad I signed up for that package after all. It was $$ well spent=)
People who has known me since my poly school days will probably remember that I adore my denim mini skirts. The denim mini-skirt has been a staple in my wardrobe even til now and it's only recently that X brought to my attention that he didn't fancy them.

To my surprise of surprises, my best guy friend gave me the exact same feedback and I'm completely flummoxed. To me, the denim mini is quintessentially a must-have piece much like the classic LBD. What can I say? The denim mini is sexy without looking skanky, informal without looking too casual and it goes well with anything - T-shirt with sneakers or a nice blouse with sandals etc etc. I would almost always wear it for a first date with a guy if I'm not too certain about how I should dress.

All that said, I'm still glad that at least X takes an interest in what I wear and for the guys, let's just say that whilst books shouldn't be judged by their covers, first impressions do matter and girls do look at what the boys are wearing too.

I like my man in long-sleeved shirts with the sleeves rolled up paired with berms or jeans cuz that looks real yummy to me!

FYI - I'm still keeping my denim minis.
The 'porcupine' in me has toned down a lot since last year and by that, I mean that I'm no longer as prickly as I used to be.

I no longer feel as hesitant writing about my personal life openly, esp with regards to my relationship with X. There were also certain things which used to make me unhappy, but I've learned to turn the other cheek now because that control freak in me kinda realizes that you can't have control over everything in life. I also no longer snap at queue-cutters, instead I tell them nicely that the queue is 'back there'. Let's just say that I've found more tactful ways to express my dissatisfaction without being such a biatch.

But like I've told X before - I'm no Little Ms Sunshine and my personality traits will always be fundamental to who I am and what he needs to do is embrace these qualities, good or bad. I know nobody's perfect and I do nitpick on some of his annoying traits as well but I don't think I've ever made him feel lousy about who he is. So why do I feel like I don't live up to his expectations so often? I'm always feeling like I'm not smart enough, sweet enough, not hard working enough...perhaps it's time I pick my self-esteem up from the toilet.

People following my blog will get the feeling that I'm always negative about alot of things but the truth is - people like me do get screwed over too. We don't always have everything going for us and also, what you read here isn't my whole life picture.

So after all this emo talk, I shall share something happy here cuz X and I finally had some quality time these past 2 days. We went to this new pasta joint @ Liang Seah Street called 'Around the World, A Pasta Affair' and check out the food!:


From the top: Mushroom soup, Aglio-aglio with prawn & Chilli Crab.

I must say that I really enjoyed my aglio-aglio and for an additional $1, you get 4 big prawns which is pretty worthwhile. That means my pasta only cost me $8.90 and it was really one of the best aglio-aglio I've had before. I wouldn't recommend the chilli crab though, because at $14.90 it was way more expensive but I could barely see any crab meat in there!

They also had these cute cups in the shape of a mini pitcher which they serve their drinks in:


I love pasta and will definitely give this place another try! Heard their carbonara's pretty good too.

So as you see, I'm definitely not a depressed person who only bitches about how f**ked up life is. I like to bitch sometimes, but it's just to vent and also because I'm always transparent about how I feel. My life was pretty f**ked up before, but I think that's past. I'm a happier person now, sans some of the baggage.

Thank you X, for bringing some semblance of sanity back to my life. I may not always show my appreciation but I do care.
