everyone has secrets, me included and if let known to the world, it could be horrifying.....sometimes i wonder, what kind of secrets does so and so hold that would scare me off.....i once convinced myself that no secrets are too big for me to handle, that i can practically accept every individual regardless of what secrets they have of themselves.....

i am so wrong.....

sometimes secrets are best kept as secrets.....i'm zipping my mouth from now on.....

i was just reading an article the other day about 2 above-all-people royal bloods saying that they'll never have the chance to live a normal life......paparazzis have taken over the role as sole enemy from power-crazy royal relatives.....who is it to blame? what is it to blame? paparazzis? or they just simply have to live with it because they are royalty?

ahhhh......the price of royalty, they call it, yet, that price seems nothing to some ppl who would give up everything and anything to be royalty.....

another case of grass is greener on the other side.....

answer: there is no right answer

Of Food and *TOUCHWOOD* pimples

now, now.....before u indulge yourself in that bowl of mouth watering curry, think about the consequances *points to the small print in the title*.....is it worth having a 30-minute gratification of the mouth and then suffer a painful 2 week long pimple(s) with the possibility of a scar(s) that last a life time.....to me, it's a big no-no.....i've been avoiding every temptation, from the invitation of my parents, food specialists and possibly THE person of my interest (which i may or may not have, up to u to figure it out), i would say "NO!"

then, just a few days ago, for some reason, i took a spoon full of curry for the first time in 2 years (i kid u not) and it was (i dare say) heavenly.....then i thought, ok, 2 spoons won't kill, and there goes the 2nd slurp, then the 3rd then the forth.....before i know it, my left hand started grabbing the white bread which was conveniently placed beside the curry bowl by my grandmother.....and to my horror, i finished the whole bowl of curry.....

because of 30minutes of stupidity, now i have to suffer with 3 gigantic pimples on my nose, bright red cystic painful pimples......

no more curry for the next 10 years!

i've just returned from beijing.....the destination of the trip was supposed to be tokyo, thus, a little disappointed i was at first, for i wanted so badly to step into the land of samurais and geishas.....nonetheless, i was excited over china.....

so, i've seen pictures of tian an men, purple forbidden city, greatwall etc, but seeing is indeed believing.....i've been awed.....

i wonder how shang hai is like.....
