I'll promise to write more.
So anyway, someone with extremely itchy fingers came and switched off my PC!! It resulted in lots of info that were unsaved!!! Ok, I know I should have saved my work, but... I didn't expect someone to come and switch it off!!! My company is very proactive on saving the environment and going green and all that, I understand.. But I was running some programs.. and.. Oh nevermind! It just frustrates me so!
So anyway, I was thinking about the xx vs DY blog war. Okok.. I'm not taking any sides here. But, DY did wrote a few conflicting statements about herself in her blog. And if it is true indeed, that she's the one who praised herself in CC forum, then I really think she should stop the lawsuit so as to not shame herself. It's one thing to be truly accused. (in this case xx acuses her of faking her parentage, plastic surgery.. so and so..) It's another to be accused of something you DID do/say and then act all victimised.
XX had always been known for her brash remarks. Although at times I disgree with what she says, I have to admit that her blog is pretty entertaining and funny as well. Reading her blog is similar to reading a trashy chick flick novel whilst sun tanning at the beach. But despite her sometimes bad attitude and honest remarks, I feel that at least she isn't as plastic as D. She says what she really feels and isn't afraid of whatever comments the tabloid lash out at her. She isn't exactly a media darling, people sometimes invite her to their show as guest to watch her stumble and fall. But see how she reacts to it? She blogs about her frustrations and then move on. A blog is meant to be an outlet for people to express their views and thoughts. In some pervy cases, they end up expressing their "naked tops" to the whole world. It takes a certain amount of courage to face the world despite all the bad comments people say about you, be it your height, your looks, whether or not you had plastic surgery.
Luckily for me, I am blessed to have ok features and a love for my body. I may not be the prettiest of ALL, but I'm thankful for the gift my parents gave me. Their love for one another, which is then given to me when I was born. I am who I am because my parents came together and loved one another. My looks, are a gift from my parents and no amount of money nor fame will justify a need to have surgery to change my features. (out of topic)
In the meantime, I'm still waiting for either of them to continue blogging. It is somewhat fun to see them bitching about each other in their blogs without mentioning of names.
Oh, it's also time for me to see what passages I can plagiarize from their blogs. Maybe then, I'll be as famous too.
Make Love, lots of it. Not War.

How do we define graciousness?
Was on my way to work and was listening to 938 Live. Topic was on a campaign that encourages customers who patronise their food centre to return their own food trays when they are done. In other words, cleaning up after themselves.
Personally, I'll all for cleaning up after yourself. But to judge me on whether I am gracious or not based on whether I return my trays is absolutely RIDICULOUS. I, for one, always say "thank you" to the cleaning uncles and aunties who help me to clear my tray while I finish up my drinks.
Note: I didn't clear my tray, but I did say "thank you". Does this make me any less gracious? Although I don't mind clearing my own trays, some aunties like to do it themselves as they feel they can clear the trays and clean the tables at the same time. this way, they do not have to do 2 things seperately. Take this example for instance.
All of us clear our trays and there's no proper designated tray slots for us, so we just simply stack our trays one on top of another messily. This doesn't lessen the work load of the cleaners but add on to it! They will have to remove the trays which are balancing precariously with bowls of soupy stuff inside! If they accidentally topple the tray, they not only have to clear the bowls, they will have to mop the floor. Double, if not triple work for them!!!
If we really want to lessen their work load, we could help by stacking up our bowls/plates neatly when we are done. Or we could put all the plates, bowls and cups into that one tray and push it to one side for the cleaners to easily pick the tray and go.
It is not our responsibility to help lessen the work load of the cleaners. It is the management of the food court who should take this responsibility. The fact that you have such a high turn over rate means people are coming to your food court to eat. Your staff are overworked? Employ another to ease the workload. Don't want to? Then we shouldn't patronise the food court, so your cleaners will have less to clear. Is that a better solution then?
I'm cute and funny and I know it. No need to keep telling me that.
