remember the times you watched a great happy-ending movie and you thought "that'll happen to me one day. If i wait long enough."

well maybe it will.

*dis-despairing.

9:42 PM

today i yet again experienced the feeling of total despair.

you know, every day i walk out of my house with a great attitude, feeling the beautiful sunshine on my face.. (cues happy music which makes you want to bounce) but it's not so beautiful. there's a huge raincloud on my head every day. and every day just seems so bleak.

i wanted to rant about how today was one of the most horrid days of my life. and you know what's even more horrid? i realise i have experienced such horrid days before. which shows how goddamn unlucky i am.

i must have used 23,000 swear words inwardly today. as if using expletives would ameliorate anything. it just makes me feel uncouth and inadequate. (doesn't help that i'm learning about how women generally use less expletives than men, and women are more polite.. yada yada)

i had some acquaintances who dropped out of school or deferred a year from school because they were suffering from depression. and while i was walking home sobbing, i wondered, why couldn't i be like them? it wasn't because i didn't have enough negativity in me to do that. maybe i was more than just that.

i realised that, maybe i'm not the only unfortunate and unlucky person. maybe others who are even more unlucky than me keep their grouses to themselves. maybe they know that complaining doesn't change anything.

i thought this post would be a horrible and un-stomachable post for most of my friends who are tired of me talking about being sick and fed up of how unlucky i am, and how i have "given up" time and time again. but i guess i just dont possess the "give up" gene.

but i guess this post is quite empowering, at least for me.

okay back to studying linguistics. i just needed to get this out of my system. thanks for reading.

earworm: owl city

Introducing........ Wensi's favourite musician of the month!

OWL CITY!

Ok we all know he (or they, as you might have thought) has a hit "Fireflies" which is AWESOME. but yes, Owl City is not a band! it's just a guy named Adam Young.

And now i'm listening to his album "Ocean Eyes". pretty awesome. he produces songs which just put you in a GREAT mood. (: the tunes are really catchy and unconventional. kinda like happy electropop.

Recommended tracks:

Vanilla Twillight

Favourite Lyrics: Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.

The spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.

If My Heart Was A House

Favourite lyric: If my heart was a house, you'd be home.

sweet right? (:

Strawberry Avalanche (single)

Dental Care

HAHHAHAH YES what a cute title right? (:

Favourite lyric: I'll swallow my pride with an aspirin and shut my mouth.

The Saltwater Room

while you weren't listening, all our love songs became sad songs.

--> from http://pleasefindthis.blogspot.com/

it's a fantabulous blog. the writer is faaaaaaaaaantastic. that's where i got my inspiration for my previous post. although he tends to dramatize things a bit too much sometimes, it's still heartwrenching to read. and the analogies he makes -- brilliant.

AB214 presentation afterthought: too much fluff. (tongtong, i just realised fluff rhymes with puff. get it?(:)

some people should really just practise what they preach. alright, but at least they're honest.

updates on fad diet: IT'S OFFICIALLY (ok half-officially) OVER!

when i went for dance class that day i almost fainted because of the lack of blood sugar. how awful was that. ): yup and so i rewarded myself with a cup of macdonalds strawberry milkshake afterwards :D :D (BEAMS)

and now im taking in carbs little by little. i dropped a couple of KGs under this diet but im pretty sure i'll gain it all back really soon.

oh well. even if imma fat cow, one day i'll get married.

The perfect disaster.

9:33 PM

Sometimes, I wonder. When you look right past me and you walk right by me, does your heart quiver ever so slightly?
Because sometimes, no, everytime, when I see you, it feels like an earthquake inside.

Diets: Fab or fad?

10:16 PM

Hello people, today Wensi shall share her dieting tips.

Okay, technically not tips. Cuz I'm not a successful dieter. We all know diets NEVER work. But that doesn't stop us from trying, does it. Under the influence of the great Sonia Mao who lost 2.5kg under this diet programme, I have decided to try it too. (PS: I am fully aware of all the side-effects of this diet. So please don't tell me stuff I already know)

And boy, is it HELL.

The Low-Carb Diet

Ahhh, yes. The famous low-carb diet. Almost like Atkin's diet where you are encouraged to consume less than 10g of carbohydrates per day. But seriously, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

unless you're like a carnivore who doesn't adore fried chicken (with the oh-so-sinful batter).

So, the LOW-carb diet is more practical.

Well basically for the past two days, i have been having incredible breakfasts. I'm not being sarcastic! i genuinely enjoy it!

Day #1 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, steamed octopus balls. (no salad dressing)
Day #2 breakfast: Steamed baby corn, cherry tomatoes, capsicum, CHEESE TOFU.

The cheese tofu seriously made my day. (: Because i can't eat anything that's obviously high in carbohydrates (eg fries, rice, noodles), I have to plan my meals.

Day #1 lunch: Yong Tau Foo without noodles
Day #2 lunch: Soyabean milk from Mr Bean (without syrup)

HORRORS OF HORRORS. you should never ever ever drink soyabean milk without sugar. It tastes salty. =/ i don't know why. And the aftertaste is so horrible, you'll totally lose your appetite. so that's good for you.

Day #1 dinner: SHIHLIN CHICKEN OMGGGGGGG :D:D
Day #2 dinner: lettuce, toasted taiwan sausages, toasted chicken

and yes i convinced myself it was okay to have fried chicken every day. :D since it's all protein. (i blatantly ignore the batter outside. and the oil.)

Anyway I don't know how long this low-carb nonsense is gonna last. probably until i see some results. but i'm gonna eat MACDONALDS tml (minus the fries, change the drink to milk) so that i can have a shot at winning an ipod touch from the monopoly game. will some kind soul who sees this buy me an ipod touch instead? save me from the caloriesssssss! :D

Right now, i'm craving for:

IKEA MEATBALLS!

Potatoes, anyone? (:
