I am well known to be a 爱美不要命 person...a plaster queen....having to use many plasters because of wearing shoes that hurt my feet...but I remember SC in PW has a record of using a box of new plasters at a time...i.e. 5 plasters per foot. Me? My record is only 3 plasters per foot. :P
Anyway, have been on the lookout of nice white shoes since some weeks back...I visited heartland malls like Junction 8, Jurong Point and shopping malls in Bugis, Wisma, even Central...but could not find one pair that I like...it seems that I may have hit paydirt this time....except that they do not have my size! Haiz...after checking the sizes at other outlets ...will see whether I can get hold of my size tomorrow!
Found a song on Youtube about 干物女! So interesting! And realised one thing...干物女 still believes in love...that's why she watches romantic 韩剧...
It's so funny....people say that they can't seem to reconcile the fact that I like to watch 韩剧
在理发店里 翻女友杂志时, 偶然看到关于「干物女」的特写文章...便被这张文章深深吸引...haha I have learnt a new term again...
A search online threw up this explanation of 「干物女」 from
http://reineosse.blogspot.com/2007/10/vs.html:
日本最新的流行语是「干物女」，也就是像香菇、干贝等干巴巴的女人，干物女最典型的特征是是在职场上看似光鲜的OL, 已经放弃恋爱，凡事追求轻松, 假日几乎都待在家里, 凡事都说：「这样最轻松」的年轻女人，假日时几乎都在家里睡觉，穿着高中时代的体育服装，歪斜躺在家里躺在沙发上、床上喝啤酒看棒球转播、DVD, 看电视或者上网。每天 下班后会直接回家，一个人边看漫画，边喝酒……回复短信，不但字数少而且慢。口头禅：“麻烦死了”“随便啦”“唉，就这么可啦” 完全进入颟顸懒散舒服的生活，这原本是日本漫 画《萤之光/小螢的青春》里二十七岁的女主角雨宫萤的状态，也是许多年轻女人的生活写照，引起绝大共鸣。
Don't know why this article struck a cord to me...perhaps...because some aspects of 「干物女」seems to be my life story....
Wonder whether it is the conversation with K the evening before...where he asks why I am not attached when your "条件不差"...and then he went on to ask me to lower my expections...
I've always felt quite peeved when people say this to me, but somehow, hearing this that evening, made me more irritated then ever...it seems to say that it is all my fault...perhaps, it is because he started asking me whether I would accept someone of lower qualifications or lower salary etc...perhaps it is because I found out that he is now unattached...perhaps it is because I didn't have enough sleep...
I know that I could have diffused the situaion easily...but somehow I didn't and we had to change the topic quickly ...
wow...there seems to be quite alot written about this topic

I think I muz b crazy...to let myself be poked so many times...it is really puzzling that we let others get away with such things. But at least I can now say that I have tried it! I have been acupuntured...and am now deflated...ok...lame joke. :P
It feels good to be able to meet up with old friends...cos they know me so well...I don't have to worry that what I say would offend....and they are always so willing to accommodate me. Really miss the times when MZ and I used to chat late into the night....and it's good that she bothers to meet up when she is back. Really happy to chat with her again...cause it seems that there are some things that only she can understand...it's sad that she is leaving again...but at least we made use of the 2 months that she is back in sg.
It is heartening to hear that HM is having it well...although we seem to only meet whilst celebrating her bday...we can always continue where we stopped...perhaps this is because we have known each other for so many years...I think the friendship that I have with her is the longest, since I haven't bothered to keep in contact with so many others...Looking forward to see the new her...
