Funny cruel things kids say to me and why I still love them

How can one possibly be mad at a child when the things they say are kinda true, although they sometimes can be quite cruel and embarrassing...

Being a Junior Arts teacher assistant, one have to put themselves at risk for all sorts of crazy things they might say to you. so...just remember to breathe in and out and smile.


Here's the top ten funny/cruel things kids say to me:

1) You look like a clown.

2) Hmm...you smell abit funny today. I don't like that smell.

3) You look better if you are skinnier.

4) The T-shirts you wear look all the same to me. Can't you wear something else?

5) Have you worn a skirt before?

6) You butt is so round.

7) You face is so round.

8) You can't draw angry bird?

9) Hey, you have white hair!

10) I don't like you.

So there you have it. My weekly dose of reality in the face.

Now for the part where I still love them despite all that %!#@%!%

1) They are miniature human beings. The thought of defeating them by just using one of my palm makes my day.

2) They like to hold your hand when you take them to the bathroom.

3) They are smarter than you think.

4) They understand my jokes...sometimes.

5) They make me laugh out loud.

6) When they tell you that "red" is a cold colour after feeling the cup of red paint with their small hands. 


 Anyways, 1 more day to meeting those nuggets again. :)

Becoming Bridget Jones

A little honest introduction about myself: 
Age - 27
Current body shape - Chubby
Marital status - Zero boyfriend

As much as I try to deny this, I am starting to become Bridget Jones. If you are not familiar with the book (Bridget Jones's Diary) or movie (Bridget Jones's Diary). I suggest you go ahead and read or watch it. (in no particular order) and perhaps you might catch a glimpse of my future.

I can't help with the age problem, people get older every minute. Every second I type on this blog, I'm aging. And yes, with proof from my mirror, it seems like I am greying too. I hate the mirror. The size of the mirror that we use should decrease with our increasing age. Focusing on just a fraction of your reflection not only boost confidence, it can significantly decrease unneccessary violence towards neighbours, animals, strangers, old people, young beautiful people, young children, plants, etc...

"I'm big boned." That's what I tell people when they say I'm fat. You can't help it when you're BORN big boned, right? But to be honest, I think I'm at least 8kg more than my ideal weight. Urgh... Thanks to my love for white rice and all other stuff that made me swell. Anyways, I've been cutting down on rice by at least 85.2%. Shall see if this helps in a few months.  

Regarding relationships...
My friends think my social circle is to blame for the zero boyfriend syndrome. As much as I am a funny, offbeat (I've been told sadly) kind of gal, no one seems to take me or perhaps even faintly considered me as a potential girlfriend material. Although, I've been told by a galfriend (she's been kidnapped by the spaceship which I no longer stalk), that she finds it IMPOSSIBLE for her to think of me being in a relationship. Gawd. how awful is that?

Anyways, life goes on and on and on and on... and on and who knows I may find Mr. Darcy just like Bridget did. or may not. oh...Nevermind.

Here's one of my fav.scene from the movie. Enjoy!

Blogging for the first time in a very long time.


I figured it's time to reboot my blogging affair and start sharing things on the internet again. So I thought it would be a great idea to write down on my notebook (a physical one) a few blog titles I think would make a good post. Here are some of the potential blog contents:

  • A series of Interviews-related titles such as:
- Interviews and why I suck at them
- Interviews and why I am still unemployed after so many of them
- Interviews and the things I probably shouldn't have asked

- Interviews and places to go after being harshly rejected in the FACE
- Interviews and the things they asked that you should have the answers to but you don't
- Interviews and how to not turn up looking shit-face aka looking like you just ran a 10K marathon
- Interviews and the journey of thickening your skin

  • Thoughts on secretly watching obese people pigging out on fast food
  • Top 10 reasons why I secretly hate young beautiful people
  • Funny cruel things kids say to me and why I still love them
  • On becoming Bridget Jones
So far so good. Shall start with the bottom tomorrow and work it up. Meantime, some pictures I drew on a recent train ride.

Drawing people who are asleep is THE REMEDY for boring train rides. Highly recommended!
