Sweet dreams Sophie

I read about Sophie Mazurek earlier today and how her family blame celebrities like Posh (Victoria Beckham) and other skinny ones for their daughter's anorexia. Should mainstream media be blamed? If it weren't for magazines, newspapers, tabloids, the Internet and TV, where else would girls like Sophie be viewing paper-thin celebrities? Personally they look like walking chopsticks to me.

How many girls will we see succumb to celebrity-chopstick pressure before we wake up?
How many more girls will skip their meals or throw up their food in order to be a chopstick?


Rest in Peace, Sophie .

Power of...

It is 1am, I should be asleep but here I am wide awake, eating a sandwich and chatting with 2 friends and laughing my head off.

I had a lot on my mind to write but I guess I forgot it... maybe it wasn't important enough to think or ponder more.

Guess that's the power of laughter.. and 2 good friends :)

Happy New Year ! !

Oh wow, the third day of 2007! I had friends over for the new years weekend - had a quiet but enjoayble dinner and some good food. The highlight of new years eve was viewing the fireworks for about 25 minutes from our balcony.

I stopped making new years resolution from 1997 because I realised that no matter how much I planned for how my life should be, it just never 'followed the guidelines'. There were too many 'shoulds' and 'supposed to..' and 'by the time I am xx old, I would ...' I don't have regrets about not being in the corporate world. I can't imagine going back to the double-edged sword world.


I've always loved children for so many reasons - their innocent ways, their curiosity, how brave and bold they can be. The glimmer and sparkle in their eyes, or how excited they get when they are on an 'adventure' or learning something new. Makes me wonder... When and where did I loose my interest for learning? It doesn't matter, I am back in school as an adult, loving every moment of it. I know I am going to love it even more in a few weeks time.
