Oh boy. I'm so going out of my way to avoid promoters in Watsons and Guardian...I'm not too keen on hearing, "Eh girl, you want to try our slimming products?" Granted, I do weigh nearly 30kg more than your average Singaporean girl/woman...but at least spare me my last strand of dignity. I suppose they like to do it to girls who aren't actually overweight too...all to earn an extra buck. But earning money at the expense of other people's insecurities? That's what today's beauty industry is about, isn't it? Let's try this little experiment: during a commercial break, count how many ads are for slimming-related products. There'll definitely be at least 2 during a 5-10 minute commercial break. I asked my English class in Germany if there was this trend in Germany. No one's heard of stuff like stars endorsing slimming products. Sure, there're slimming products on the market, but it's definitely not as bad as in Asia. Schlankheitswahn, they call it in German. Well, I suppose I could blame only me for letting myself go to seed...but, getting fat has served one good purpose. It showed me who my real friends are. Surprise surprise..there're actually people who are only nice to you when you look good. Sure, I have far fewer friends now, but if you think about it, is it worth having "friends" who just like you for the way you look? Sure, it's nice to hear people telling you that you're pretty/handsome..but maybe there's more to life than that and I'm thankful for the people who've shown me that.

What the f...great, my post disappeared...just added to my mountain of headaches.

Homework: No progress in 4 days

Family: uncooperative someone, jealousy

Filming: schedule keeps changing; impossible to coordinate everyone's schedule. No one's free at the same time!!! Change from one day to another and back. Then suddenly cannot...so must change again, but no one's free. Bloody hell.

Friends: Am I feeling too much, too strongly? Oh, and no one's free for filming or does not wanna be filmed.

Well, those are the main ones...I can't explain everything.

Hey Kheng Hui, you're right...it is herpes zoster. Well, it actually only affects one section of the body...the area around your lower ribcage. Anyway, the reason why people think you were doomed to die if your whole body was covered in 'snakes'..the rash-like thing that is a symptom of zoster, is because it would obviously show that your immune system is very weak. I mean the greater part of your body that's affected, the more your immunity is used up to fight against it...and it'll probably leave you DEAD. So that's the anti-climactic story about the shingles.

Okay, I've finally finished my FIRST term paper. Got 2 more, then an essay. Actually I may not have to do the essay...I'm doing it to get a 6 point credit, when in fact I only need 1 point...I've already handed in all my weekly assignments for a 3 point credit...so well, I'll do this essay if I have the time. If not I'll ask for an extension or simply not do it.

I need help! Does anyone not mind being filmed? I'm running out of people who are free and are willing to be on TV to do stuff with. It's for this reality show called "The Big Unknown" about the lives of uni students (that includes family and FRIENDS!)...so if any of you happen to be free and would like a tv appearance, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know! It's not difficult at all. Just have to say a few things and it's not scary, I promise!

Ok, back to work, I guess...Kheng Hui just reactivated my guilty conscience...haha!
