it's a terrible thing not able to talk. now i know i can't live in silence. i need to talk, say something, sing, or just speak out.
i have a terrible ulcer on my tongue. my biggest ever. it's so inconvenient. can't talk properly. can't eat well. can't drink smoothly.
a combination of stress and "heatiness". that explains the popping pimples too.
conincidently, they started to play this radio ad about mouth cancer awareness over mix fm. one of the symptoms is ulcer that does not heal. phew! glad to say mines is healing. i can feel it. :-)

...three first times over the weekend.
This past weekend has been filled with new stuff for kwazy berry.
New experience no.1:
First time attending an Indian wedding
Well, I can't wait anymore for allanaq to get married. Fortunately, K invited me to his wedding. It was a lovely affair, combining religion and tradition. The wedding itself is so picturesque. Of course, the bride and groom look splendid in their wedding attire on the wedding dais. And the food is superb. I must confess I have a weakness for Indian food, even if it's just vegetarian. Can't wait for missey to share her photos.
New experinece no.2:
First time doing hair rebonding
Yep, it's the vain me speaking here. Cast aside mom's objection of me destroying my hair. I'm actually quite pleased with the result. I was afraid that this hairstyle would look awful on me. I guess it's worth the rush and the wait and the money. I hope the maintenance of the hair will be easy. I already feel that it's a bit of a hassle not able to wash/wet my hair for 3 days, nor tie or clip my hair for 2 weeks. All in the name of vanity.
New experience no.3:
First time eating abalone
I just don't understand what is so yummy about this delicacy. It's really not that nice. It's tough and taste like err... I don't even know how to describe it. Susan and Jeff say it tastes a bit like escargot. Well, I don't even like escargot. Nothing appealing in having snails in my stomach. So, I guess I will definitely save money by not going for abalone. Aside from that, the rest of the meal was superb. Thanks mom! May you strike again with my car number. ;-)

...why men say women deserve it.
There goes another outrageous remark again. I do wonder whether these guys are saying it just to get publicity and attention, albeit notoriously.
Plainly speaking, women do NOT want to be raped, molested or sexually harassed.
Full stop.
When something goes wrong, the first thing men will blame is the women. It doesn't matter if the act itself is wrong. It doesn't matter that social ills have become rampant. It doesn't matter if the bigger issue is not focused on. I think it's all about "jaga muka" for the men. The big three letter word, EGO.
If a decent short skirt below the knee is deemed sexy, what else constitute sexiness? Aiyoh, her shapely legs is traced when she wear jeans. Oops, her ankle is showing beneath her long skirt. Naughty, you revealed your wrist to men. Oh no, the nape of your neck makes men swoon. Maybe the law should define sexiness in women and make all citizens (and visitors) memorise the statutes regarding it.

...shame on you, mister, for plagiarism.
Mimicry or plagiarism? The debate is out there.
I wouldn't want to be him. I will be ashamed if I were him.

...dance, good looking, and dates.
3 things from the lifestyle section of the papers caught the berry's attention today.
the first goes to...
...the feature article, which was about movies that centre on dance. as i read through the list, i realised i watched almost every single one and most of them are my favourites. admittedly, i can watch them over and over again. mainly because of their dance sequence. come on, who hasn't heard of saturday night fever with john travolta's slick disco moves? who didn't remember the snapping fingers and dance moves from west side story? who didn't feel like going to the school of fame? who didn't identify with what a feeling from flashdance? who weren't rooting for kevin bacon's character in footloose? who didn't wish they were dirty dancing with patrick swayze? who weren't impressed with the beat of strictly ballroom? who didnt straight away want to enroll for hip hop class after watching honey dance?
well, i may not be a great dancer but i definitely know i was not born with two left feet. i know i can dance decently. after reading the article, i suddenly missed my tap classes. i missed hearing the tappety tap my feet can produce though limited the steps may be. it was not my fault that they had to close down my class and i couldn't make it for the sunday classes. i know i should take more effort to locate classes in other studios. yes, i should do that. and also, to learn new dance styles. i did think of hip hop but hahahaha, i may not have enough energy and stamina to go through each class. maybe i should go for latin ballroom - jive my way around or tango my way through. Salsa, samba, rumba and er-1-2-cha-cha-cha...
next was about...
...companies still tend to hire people who are better looking. yes, that's the reality. first impressions do count. and this kind of first impression is something that we don't have the ability to change - natural good looks. personally, i did observed that children gravitate more towards teachers who are beautiful. customers will be nicer to pleasant faces. of course, beauty is just the first pull, other characteristics such as personality and skills are important as well. but there's no denying that we are more lenient with pretty people. and beauty does help in a lot of areas. we are not talking about drop dead gorgeous men and women. as long as one is relatively good looking and can be categorise as pretty or handsome in a sense. i do feel sad for those who are really unfortunately born with ugly face. sorry to be frank about this. i may not be beautiful but i must thank God for not making me ugly.
and finally...
...the year of yes. that's the title of a book that was reviewed. in a nutshell, the story centres on a 20 year old girl, who after going through many failed loves, wrong mr rights and dateless valentines, decided that for one whole year, she will say yes to anyone who ask her out for a date, as long as he is not violent, drunk, or drugged. there are a couple of stuff that seem wrong with this story. first of all, she is only 20 years old. she didn't even go through enough years yet to search for her other half. secondly, no ordinary person would be asked out on dates by so many guys in a year, and such a variety of them to the boot. and lastly, didn't her mother warn her not to say yes to strangers? tsk.. tsk.. dangerous.
what have chic lits become? totally fantasy stories. they don't write stories like bridget jones diary anymore. i am definitely not gonna waste my money and time on that book. however, it is kind of a cool concept - the part about saying yes to anyone who ask you out on a first date. maybe i should make it my coming new year's resolution. hahahaha... as if i dare do it. but i have enough of people reminding me that i'm getting old and it's time for me to get married and blah blah blah... don't wait for the perfect guy because there is none, don't be choosy, go out and meet more people, and the list of advice goes on. so, what can a gal do but nod her head and just say yes.
