perphaps it has started for a while already. I was simply oblivious to it.. but it struck me in the face this time.. i guess i've come to the age where ppl have finished comparing acadamic stuff and now start to compare salaries, compare jobs and worse of all, compare boyfriends.. and since a time dunno when, boyfriends have become a modern girl's arm accessory. like.. like a ring.. or a bag.. more like a bag i guess..

my bf is cuter than urs but ur bf is richer than mine, my bf is taller than hers, bt her is beefier than mine.. my bf isn rich, bt his family is.. her bf is smart but potentially richer than yours. my bf is this, ur bf is that.............
and the " 'winner' goes hme feeling smug.. oh before that, gives a smirk to everyone else at the table.."

isn't it annoying? it is. and thats not the end..

my job pays better than urs, but urs gives more satisfaction, oh who cares abt satisfaction? my pay gives me enuf moolah to BUY satistaction.. wat? oh a new LV/Gucci/Loewe/Chloe/Miu Miu/Prada/louboutin/Jimmy Choo/............................

isn't it annoying? it is VERY.

brings us back to the days when kids compare grades.. that made more sense cos its a level playing field (sort of..) but comparing bfs? comparing jobs? come on.. how old are these ppl? or rather, how bored are these ppl? if you aren't in the same line, whats there to compare? is job satisfaction measurable? is comfort level in the company measurable?

and bfs.. congrats to those who think they've got the catch of the century but its really funny how some ppl like to put on shows.. it doesn't matter how well ur arm candy performs infront of ur frens. what matters is how he treats you in private. and that again, is immeasurable.. besides, whats is there to show off if ur bf is really capable of earning a fat paycheque but u aren't?

we can discuss these aspects yes.. but when it comes to outright COMPARING, pls pardon me if i decide to laugh at your nonsense or simply ignore you.. i'm allergic to bullshit and i refuse to participate in nonsensical conversation..

went to watch "If there are seasons" today. It was pretty good.. A tad draggy yes.. but I loved Joanna Dong's voice. The lead actor was good too (it hlps that he's cute haha). Was supposed to bring mummy to Cheeky Chocolate for dinner.. but something cropped up.. we could only do the musical :x



anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did

Women and men (both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed (but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then) they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men (both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain

a client called me yesterday.. i usually dread calls cos I dunno what to expect.. but when I picked up the call and he excitedly told me he just realised his 2 month old investment with me yielded 35% profit.. yes, its not fantastic but i'm happy he's so happy :)

i beamed from ear to ear feeling great :)
