met up with big J yday for dinner after dance class. he made me think. think of people and their habits in general. of somewhat unexplainable quirks that people have.

let's just say i reached 2 conclusions by the end of the night.

***
#1 i cannot stand people who complicate stuff. let your yes be a yes. let your no be a no. don't tell me smth is black when it's gray. and when i give in and you find out it's wrong, don't ask me why i didn't tell you beforehand that you were wrong.

don't get me wrong. i love to overanalyse and overthink intellectual issues or have debates abt academia. but other than that, i don't complicate everything else.

so don't overthink my actions. don't overanalyse what i say. for goodness sake, life is already complicated as it is. why add to it? even worse, i'm worrying about what these weirdos are thinking of what i say and do. it's too troublesome. i really don't need that kind of crap.

#2 i cannot stand weak people. people who are needy. people who crave attention. i think i kinda came to that conclusion when i was in jc. but still, i need to reiterate this point.

perhaps it's their nature to be needy and dependent and want attention. perhaps it's circumstantial. it's one thing to want attention. it's another to do everything in the desire to attain that attention. be it causing others to worry or doing things to make others upset. urgh.

i'm just that candid, i'm sorry. now to find the guts that i vomitted out, gather my wits and confront the dreaded. doesn't help that Big J's got issues now too. the bro-sis combo can only sit and watch the each other now.

may we both not crash and burn in our own respective minefields.

random note: listening to lady gaga & nkotb makes me think of.. well.. someone. it was a crazy one month. dead tiring but, well, intriguing. not exactly fun. but all so memorable. thank you, you. ^-^

I realized how different and similar my sister and I are. We both love vintage and fashion. But that's where it ends. She likes the woven bags from aigner. I love the tough spunky ones from balenciaga. Her plain tees are fitted. I like mine plain slouchy.

Her vintage dresses are flowery and soft.

I love shift dresses and mod dresses. big skirts rock for me.

which is probably why I love Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie O. but i haven't seen anything dedicated to Twiggy. perhaps it's just cause she's still alive. but still..

There's something about Twiggy that makes her such a classic icon. It's the whole combination of her big eyes, short blonde hair and incredibly slender figure that makes mini mod dresses a breeze to carry off. Her pixie-shaped face and waif-like figure must have been the envy of sooo many.

Thanks to her, the trend of mod dresses is far from over. I've only got 3 of them in my cupboard. And one shift dress that's waiting for me to "customize". I want more. Of course, it doesn't help that at the end of the "Nobody" music video by Wondergirls, the girls are all looking fab in mod dresses too.

And Twiggy makes vintage dresses fun for me. The crazy geometrical prints are way too cute. It is unfortunate that we don't get much of such dresses these days. I would go absolutely ape over them.

Twiggy still looks gorgeous. I love how she embraced her wrinkles and still looks fab while close to 60 years old. When she smiles, her crows feet crease beautifully, reminding me that they are also called "laugh lines". She looked like she embrace life and fashion. I admire her. :D

Forget agyness deyn. Twiggy still rocks.

i don't understand why people can't yawn and cover their mouths.

is it neccesary to show the whole world the insides of your mouth with fillings and all? and look like you're about to swallow the head of the person in front of you in one go?

i cannot stress how terribly unglam and ugly it is.

i was minding my own business this morning, walking to my destination. just as i walked past URA centre, i noticed this pleasant looking lady. then she yawned.

it looked like she was training her jaws to take on the entire URA centre in one mouthful. yes. Both east and west wing.

oh my. word cannot describe how terribly horrendous the lady looked while she yawned. i found the closest resemblances here..

and i'm not kidding. it was that scary. the only cute open mouth yawn i've ever seen is on dogs or babies. i forgive babies because they have absolutely no inclination to be polite 'cos their little brains can't process that level of graciousness yet.

is it really that hard to raise a hand and cover your mouth?? sigh.

side note: my poor dog was stripped and scrutinized this morning by my "lovely" colleagues. at least he (to quote a certain AM) "sure is handsome". my poor gorgeous baby.
