Lost

I dont think i can be more diligent than this..i am just not a hard worker in nature..sadly i am also not that bright and talented..i have sacrificed so many things that I like for an academic qualification that will not seem to guarantee much due to my poor result..is it worthy? I like playing tennis, i wanna play those beautiful music with piano again, i wanna hang out more with friends, spend more time with family, I wanna be a nice person helping everyone who is in need..but i am stuck with my studies..something that have made me paid a high price but doesnt bring much achievement..why do i have to give up everything else in my life doing something that I am not good at..I am not saying I shouldnt work hard but why cant I be like others doing what they like yet still achieve sth in their lives? I wish i will find a direction soon

Hair Care Tips

Hair managing guide from http://sarah-tennant.suite101.com/tips-for-tangled-hair-a55309

Avoiding Tangled Hair

Dryness, split ends and friction all contribute to knotty hair. Keep your hair well-moisturised to give it some 'slip'. Snip out split ends as you see them—split hairs are damaged hairs, and the roughness and increased volume of splits can easily create tangles. Make sure you are using gentle hair care techniques to keep your hair free of damage.

To avoid friction, try sleeping on a satin pillowcase at night. Cotton pillowcases have fibres which rub against the hair, while satin allows the hair to slip freely about. Slipping a satin petticoat or nightie over your pillow is a cheaper option—the difference will be obvious when you comb your hair the next day. Never leave barrettes or clips in your hair overnight, or they may be 'eaten' by your hair and be difficult to remove.

Tangles also frequently occur while washing hair. Never pile your hair atop your head and scrub. Instead, detangle it before hopping in the shower, and shampoo your scalp only. The length of your hair is rarely dirty enough to require scrubbing, and will be sufficiently cleaned by the shampoo as you rinse it out. Next, comb the conditioner through your hair with a wide-toothed comb, and continue combing as you rinse out. This way your hair should not require further detangling before it dries. Don't rub at it with a towel—let your hair dry naturally, loose or wrapped in a turbie towel.

Keep Your Hair Tied Up

The looser your hair is, the more chance it has to become tangled and damaged by rubbing against your clothes, getting caught under handbag straps and blown about in the wind. Braids are a perfect way to keep hair from tangling. Practice braiding your hair at night until you get the hang of it—'sleep braids' don't have to be perfect, and are a wonderful way to protect hair from tangles while you toss and turn. Once you've mastered the techniques, braids can be worn in endless combinations and styles during the day.

Buns are another excellent way to protect hair from tangles. Using the sock bun method, even fairly short hair can be kept out of harm's way.

Removing Knots From Hair

Bobble-tipped brushes are damaging to hair, and useless for removing knots. To detangle hair, use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb and begin with the bottom few inches of hair, gradually working your way up. Always start at the bottom of a knot and tease it out downwards, rather than pulling it wide apart. Once detangled, use a boar bristle brush to polish and protect your hair.

Some people find damp hair easier to detangle. Use a spray bottle of professional detangling product, or a mixture of water, jojoba oil and aloe vera. For really stubborn knots, saturate the hair in conditioner for a few minutes before attempting to remove the knot.

The story of apples

So many things happening in my life everyday but its not easy for me to find the right time and right mind to share it here. That explains the infrequent posts, if someone even cares =P

Recently, so many people have been sharing humorous pictures and jokes on Facebook. They are certainly entertaining for people like me, who go on Facebook almost every minute. Its not like i like Facebook that much, but I am too lazy to play games or to do something else when i just wanna take a short break from the boring assignments. And yes, i have poor concentration. I need a short break every minute.

Although some jokes shared are real lame, some are really meaningful that it makes my day. A joke that i feel like sharing is about apples. It says there that there are 3 apples that have changed the world.


The first apple was eaten by the Adam and Even and this apple has turned the world sinful. Though the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis is not identified, popular Christian tradition holds that a serpent coaxed Adam and Eve to eat an apple from the forbidden tree in the Eden (Wikipedia)

The second apple falls on Newton's head from a tree and led him to the discovery of the law of gravity. It benefits the world by explaining the wonders of nature scientifically.



The third apple was brought by Steve Jobs and has brought the world to another era of technology.



The conclusion is: An apple a day, not only keeps the doctor away, but may overturn a decade and make my day.

Is it wrong?

Is it wrong for a girl to want to be pampered in a relationship? Is it wrong to be delicate when a girl is with someone that she can trust , although she has to be tough everywhere else? Is it so hard for a guy to spend a little more time to show his concern when a girl is in sorrow?Is it so hard just to stay when a guy is needed?

Isn't it cruel for a guy to say that there are much more important things then comforting a sad girl? If a little more time cant be spent, if a little more effort cant be contributed into a relationship, whats the difference of a normal friendship and a special relationship?



If someone understands, he or she will not just walk away. Leaving a broken hearted person alone is cruel. Although a wound will heal when time passes, the scar will always be there and will take much longer time to be forgotten.

Everyone is different

I dislike judgmental statement

If u haven't known a person well, just because u heard something bad about him/her, u conclude that : I knew it!! From the beginning i have sensed that the he/she is that mean, are u sure u are qualified to say so?

I dislike criticism about appearance

I know most of the time criticisms are made playfully and aren't serious, but still..u wont know who may get offended and who may not..Appearance is something that people cant change. Although i admit that people with defects should accept it and should not be oversensitive..still..people could have been considerate enough not to mention any defect in appearance without valid reason

I dislike the "kiasu" culture

When i was a kid my mum advised me not to show that im hardworking even if i am, why
so? Isn't hardworking something to be proud of? Hardwork has been devalued by the "kiasu" culture. When someone is working hard but you are not, you would feel guilty and emotionally imbalance. Therefore to ease the guilt and emotional imbalance, u would express ur "shock" that that the person is working hard when u are having fun. U would say something like" OMG!! Why are u so hardworking!!!" or " Its Weekend!! Why are u studying!!" or " OMG!! U are staying in the library? So hardworking!!"..these seemingly compliments would actually made people feel that working is a wrong thing due to the "kiasu" teasing tone that comes with the statement

Due to this "kiasu" culture, hardworking has become something to be ashamed of rather than something to be encouraged. IF u work hard yet dont achieve too well, people would laugh at ur hardwork because it means that u are actually not bright enough..If u dont work hard yet achieve, people would admire u because u are bright enough and do not have to work hard

Therefore when A sees B studying, He will laugh at B for being hardworking and showing it because A knows how to study when people are not looking at him. Since when Studying has to be something secretive?

Come on!! Everyone needs to work. The only differences are the timing and methods. Some people like to study in the library and just relax at home. Some people work hard when people are having fun because they have been having fun when people were working hard. Some people just like to go back right after school and rest but work hard at night. Some people seem to be studying for a long time but in fact they take frequent breaks in between because they just cant focus for a long time. Some people study last minute because they have extraordinary concentration that enable them to learn everything in a short time.

In conclusion, everyone is different. Just because people have different timing and working methods, doesnt mean u have to feel "kiasu" and give useless comments about it. Just because people look or behave differently, doesnt mean you have to talk bad about it unless it is really unpleasant to u.

Not-so good story

A child said to his mum. "Mummy, I colored your sheets with lipstick!" In anger she started to hit him child until he was unconscious. Then, she regretted what she had done, and while crying she said to her child, "Please open your eyes!" But it was too late, his tiny heart had stopped beating. When she walked into her bedroom, the sheet said "I LOVE YOU MUMMY". Copy and paste this if you're against child abuse

This is something that people posted on FB

The world is overflooding with too much pain and suffering, we need something touching to remind us of humanity

The story above was not a good one, but we need a tiny bit of sth like this everyday

Eating

It seems that my blogging mood is back..yay!!

It has been 4 months before since i last got defeated by emotional eating/binge eating. Im so surprised realising that the huge unbeatable enemy doesnt seem to have a big impact in my life as before. I used to suffer mental and physical pain struggling to get rid of that eating habit. I cant believe now im eating like a normal person for every meal without too much need to control. Eating is an enjoyable thing in my life again!! For the past 6 years eating like a normal person was a luxury for me, im so glad that i can enjoy the luxury every day now.

Although the problem has not been solved completely from the root, it is a good progress for me. Not having an ideal weight is not a concern for me now, as just eating normally and happily is the greatest enjoyment in life.

Thanks to all my friends and family who have tried to helped me. A very big thanks to Hoangy who has made the "eating" dream come true.
