Lessons of Life!

I think it is ok to feel sad once in a while right... Even though I don't really have something to get sad over. Seems like this is just an emotional dip on a lousy night which has left me wondering about soulmates. Do we have that special someone out there who feels what you feel without you having to say why?

That person would just know..and thats enough to make me feel comforted.

Pervy Photographers? More like Girls who dont value self-worth.
Xiaxue's recent post on lecherous photographers got me feeling quite indignant for innocent photographers out there. I think it takes 2 hands to clap so if some girl is willing to bare all for a random stranger, (welding an expensive camera), who is anyone to judge the photographers and allude that they photograph with dispicable intentions ?

I believe that any self-respecting girl would NEVER pose for such photo shoots with those types of poses and looks. Lingerie shoots can be respected when done tastefully and beautifully.

so anyway in the post, she lambastes the so called pervy photographers... but has nothing to say about the models who are readily and agreeably posing for them. I dont quite understand this catch. Because if you condone what the models are doing, why criticise the photographers?

I also noticed that she picked the ugliest and sluttiest photos from ECPerez's photo stream and left out all the other photographs he has taken of scenery, still objects and his friends. Im not a photographer and i dont know what they do with their photos, but that's ultimately his own business - because someone paid him to do it, or he paid for it. 2 willing parties, what's the fault there?

She also kindly left out her best friend Kay Kay from the pictures even. Well of course you wouldnt want to criticise your friend. Any decent person would not be that mean. But it is undesputable that Kay Kay does such shoots. so KK in a bikini - Would these have been potential captions left by XX as she did with the other girls?




" breasts too small that's why must SQUEEZE together with one hand is it?"




" face is trying to hard"



"bathing but then cannot wet the hair!!"



Well i think we should hear the other side of the story.

some models OPENLY solicit for photographers to come and shoot them in their lingerie like such threads.




"Support our photoshoot!""Kay Kay and Xuesha's lingerie shoot FTW"

If this is the case can you blame the photographer? The girls are pretty well ASKING FOR IT! and as with every photo shoot, the model has the prerogative to decide whether or not she wants to pose in lingerie. I believe the model also has the prerogative to decide what poses she does. if she upholds moral standards, there's no way the photographer can make her do some soft porn pose.

For that matter, i actually think the photos that this guy takes are really good and obviously displays professional skill. It's just that sometimes his subjects look slutty which makes some of his photography look cheap.

Case in point, Another model from his photostream:




I dont know about you but this is what i think. it's a women, in a bikini, flashing her boobs, BUT IT LOOKS TASTEFUL. Some people can look sexy with class, while others cant.


And another thing is that these models LOVE to post their half-naked pcitures on their blogs, facebook, wherever for all to see. There is obviously a MUTUAL want. Photographers to take pictures of them, half-naked pictures for them to post on their blog. sounds like a win-win situation so to suddenly jump in accuse photographers is biased.

So we come to the chicken and the egg question. Are the photographers being gross for taking such shots or are the girls being __________(insert suitable word) for allowing photographers to take such shots of them?


Supply; Demand. Basic economics.

Big Money
recently i decided that selling Fruit Juice was pretty damn lucrative and the proof is not in the pudding, but at the NUS Arts Canteen. They're doing so well they close at 4pm everyday because everything is sold out, and the Auntie comes to work in her plastic boots, apron and Chanel Bag.

Today, i have discovered something even more lucrative - ARCADES.

should have realised this earlier, but obviously i dont go to arcades and i dont play arcade games.

i went there for about the 3rd time in my life over Saturday and watched all these mindless people slot in dollar after dollar after dollar and more dollars to play games!!! I dont understand!! What is the point!! and I especially do not see the point in that basketball game where all you do is throw balls into the hoops.

MOST IMPORTANTLY - those CLAW VENDING MACHINES with soft toys inside. wow. those pull in the money man.




"darling i wanttttt that toooyyy!!! get for me!!"


total damage for 4 teeny toys - $30!? I have to add that we picked a relatively easy machine where all you had to do was to yank a keychain off a hook. The claw machines really seem quite impossible.

It's actually quite funny. It's almost like a symbol of manhood as they hold up their acquired toys they valiantly clawed for their girlfriends.

ah heros!

tutu cute!


Very cute right!! But what i really noticed is that this is the same dance studio So You Think You Can Dance uses, the model doesnt know how to point her feet, cant even find the clothes she's wearing on F21's website and that the little girls are tres adorable!

Anyway i feel damn stressed now, i dont know why i have become extremely high strung over the course of my university days. I wish i could take a chill pill because #1, it's bad for my skin and #2 i feel mental. Need to remind myself to take DEEP BREATHES. THERE IS TIME. THERE IS TIME. I CAN DO IT.

OMG....why like that...

I have an interview tmr, just a simple department interview - but stressing out, and i also have nothing to wear. I feel so dumb, because i am stressing over this. Anyway I am settling for my sister's work pants (dug out from her defunct closet) even though it looks 5 sizes too big for me. I am also stressing out because i have a 25% quiz next saturday, on top of which i have 2 assignments + project meetings so if my calculations are correct, i am going to DIEEEE next week. *hyperventilate* *WHEEZZZEEEE*

A Mindless worker is Happy Worker, Shut up and do your job
Originally from http://community.livejournal.com/sg_ljers/1440610.html



A blogger (Kaelyn Ong) reviews a cafe: http://myfoodsirens.wordpress.com/2009/10/02/obolo/

She writes to TODAY when the cafe threatened legal action on her review: http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC091012-0000206/Online-Only---You-mean-bloggers-cant-speak-their-minds?

Obolo responds: http://www.soshiok.com/articles/14540

She responds: http://myfoodsirens.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/finally-obolo-speaks-up/

A letter from the public to TODAY: http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC091018-0000083/Online-Only---Blogger-was-unfair-in-review






I just picked up on this recently, even though it's pretty much old news now. Kaelyn's response was wonderful and plucky so respect for her! I was looking through the comments and definitely agreed with some of them regarding how Obolo has now got a heck of a PR case in their hands.

"As a PR professional, all I can say is that a legal threat is possibly the worst thing any business can employ, which should only be used as a last resort."

Personally i think it is quite ridiculous that it seems food bloggers, or bloggers for that matter cannot even express things like the cake was "cloyingly sweet". Are you serious? I had to re-read her post 3 times to try and DIG out sentences that could be considered libel. Of course i did not find any.

"cloyingly sweet" is such a common english phrase so why that aggitated and defensive over such a harmless sentence.

As bloggers we cannot "embellish" and "exaggerate", so we cannot say things like "this is the shittiest mee siam i've ever eaten in my life!" But what if it's REALLY the shittiest mee siam you have ever eaten??!

Maybe the person just hasnt tried a lot of different mee siam, and so far, yours happens to be the worst, so it IS the shittiest. Must you be politically correct and state that "IN MY OPINION, this mee siam is not the best i have eaten. But i will leave it up to to decide for yourself."??

BULLOCKS! If everything is going to be objective then what's the point of personal opinions?







Which brings me to another recent furor that is giving me the giggles. Well it seems Internet providers such as Singtel and Starhub have BLOCKED PORN SITES - ok well im sure this is an order from higher....... *a mindless worker is a happy worker!*

Well the thing that's giving me giggles is that my man friends were SO distraught. Like headless chickens running around, blank looks on their faces and scrambling for alternatives. One of them was utterly convinced that banning porn sites would increase the crime rate in singapore as more people would engage prostitutes, so on and so forth. It's a vicious cycle.

Firstly, i dont use porn sites but i do think that it is myopic to ban porn sites, especially in this day and age. I do believe that there will be repercussions - at the most extreme, rape.

People say porn sites are unhealthy and addictive but while i believe it can be addictive it is not always unhealthy. I have heard positive rationales behind viewing porn sites in that it helps release tension, it cures your urges, it confirms healthy sexuality and so on. I know you guys could come up with many more.

Just as how girls are vain and like to dress up and put on make up, i think guys need to masturbate. in fact i KNOW guy's need to masturbate! and now im just gonna blame it all to biology.

Guess I'mrather ambivalent with regard to this as it doesnt concern me. but sincerely, good luck to all you guys out there.
