Curly or straight hair, I'm still who I was.That's the name of this blog post. I just straightened my hair the other day! My chinese friends say my face looks bigger and they like my curly hair better. My malay and indian friends tell me I look better with straight hair.
That tells me alot. lol.
Anyway, let me repeat, Curly or straight hair, I'm still who I was.
By the way, I've procrastinated my dieting for more than 8 months now! Oh no... I suck. I hope I can start tomorrow! OMG! Sigh.

It's been a long time since I've written my last blog. And it's funny how the first words I actually want to shout out are "Work sucks!"I know, right?
A grueling 8 hours, nope, for some people it lasts over a span of 9 to 12 hours. For people whom have totally no life (really rare), their job lasts almost 22 hours everyday. No kidding. How would you like to work a grueling 22 hours a day?
(A resounding "NO!" fills my room.)
Though they earn more than me (they obviously have to! Or else which lunatic wastes their life at work to earn so little!), I just cannot imagine myself working 22 hours a day.
Unless my salary kisses the millions in a month. No, wait, I think my time is more precious. Perhaps when it smells the billion mark.
So, just to work 9 hours a day, I would have to settle for much, much less. But even so, I find somehow find a sense of contentment emotionally. At least I get to reach home at 8pm everyday (this is of course, after long hours of human traffic and train delays).
I can even derive a sense of joy when there is an empty seat in the trains on the way home. I take a seat. It feels really good. I’m thankful to have a seat after a long day of work.
I wouldn’t consider myself a happy person.
I truly find that I can really further increase my everyday happiness.
Even without someone to love.
(This does not include family members though. I already love them like there is no tomorrow.)
Everyday I see so many people whom are unhappy over little things. They get angry over what seems to be really minute. They get frustrated. They get mad. They scold obscenities.
How did I know…? Because I used to be one of those anals stated above.
How could we feel happy even if we had a really bad day at work?
How could we feel happy when we just suddenly feel emo?
I guess here is where the phrase “mind over matter” comes into play. Think we all need to learn to practice controlling our tempers. More so, I’m a Scorpio. We Scorpios have really bad tempers.
Having said and realized that though, I find it really hard to live by those rules.
(Is that another Scorpio trait…?)
Many times I only realize that I should have flared up over some little thing. It just made me feel even worse. I think I just couldn’t let go at that point of time.
I’m learning to control myself.
So I can be a better person with every step of my journey.
I know it sounds like a tacky tagline of a “Quit taking drugs or die” advertisement.
I like that it represents my current resolution. Lets all hope it lasts. =P
