I'm Meredith Grey. Nothing seems the same when you're not around. You're poised and likeable and find it easy to make friends. Although you are always there to support your friends, you may not want to take the same approach yourself. You may like to deal with some stuff yourself, without particularly involving those around you. Your naturally sweet disposition means you have people around you all the time and are generally well liked. Your philosophy: live life and try not to screw up too bad.

The thorn in my flesh
There this thing, this thing that's been bugging me for a long time now, a grudge I bear and find unable to let go. I know its as simple as that - letting it go. But I can't seem to do just that.
I've tried everything I think - dealt with it (in the best way i could), told it to go away, prayed that it will go away, Landmark-ed it, denying it, and even tried running it off in the gym. But it wun go away, the pain's still there, and the internal dialogue in my head wouldn't stop.
Go away pls, oh thorn in my flesh. Pls pls pls just go away.

This should be the reason why no parent should never name their kid "Heathcliff", or after any angsty literary character for that matter.

A bunch of random thoughts at lunch today, while huffing and puffing away at the strider machine in the gym:
1) I like my "upmarket coffee" (aka Starbucks, Spinellis, and the like) in a paper cup with the cover and the sleeve. My influence shows - my Boy can't quite have his coffee any other way either. Am glad that Howard Schultz is taking back the running of Starbucks - the US experience has been rather sucky of late.
2) If I'm obsessed about a particular type of food, I can eat the same thing consecutively for a week or even a whole month. I've ate Putu Maya (the bee hoon pancake thing taken with coconut and brown sugar) consecutively for a few weeks until the stall ceased operations. *not my fault* My all-time favourite food groups are: Vegetarian Fried Bee Hoon and Fried Chicken Wings.
3) I suck at playing most sorts of games - ball games, computer games, etc. Or even scrabulous on FB. *shrug*
4) I'm a reeeeally slow reader. Coz I read on the train to-fro work, and only get through about 5-8 pages in any one sitting (depending on font size).
5) I secretly like (ie sing/hum/bob) bad pop music, in the likes of Britney Spears, S-Club, Spice Girls, West Life, Backstreet Boys, etc. When I'm in my room on my own, I even dance fanatically to Kylie.
6) I have never stepped into Zouk or Hard Rock Cafe in Singapore. Was disallowed from going into them when I really wanted to (at like 16/18) and gradually just lost interest in going as I grew up. The closest I've been to a club is BarNone - filled with posers who smoke way too many cigars. *bleah*
7) I am quietly competitive/ambitious. I always secretly want to get ahead of my peers, or even my seniors at work.
8) I have a very short attention span, especially with art. I can't spend more than 1 hour browsing a gallery alone - I lose patience, worse when its filled with weird, senseless contemporary works. Even worse if they are badly painted or look really UGLY.
9) I have a long history with Starbucks - When I broke up with my first boyfriend, I hung out at 7am every morning at the Starbucks near my old workplace for a couple of months. Writing and crying, or editing my writing (for an annual report) and sipping my morning coffee all at once. And the best part was that the staff there call me by my first name and remember my order. When the outlet was closed a year later, I was understandably upset.
10) I miss the fried carrot cake at Robinson Road. Its that tiny shop next to Polar Cakes now. It was really gd fried cake.
11) I'm a huge klutz - the people who know me know that I'm always walking into poles/signboards, drains, get cuts/bruises or have fluke accidents from seeming harmless situations. =P
12) I still go to Shaslik for my steaks. The waiters aren't fantastic, and in fact are elderly and slow, but they still wear those red vests and white shirts like in the old days. Complete time warp.
13) I am still searching for that perfect cookbook - that is easy to follow and doesn't require exotic ingredients or an oven.
