Not as holy as you think :)
I dont deserve all of the compliments.
Im not perfect.
Im too stubborn , to take in any kind word of advice.
Im too determined, to exceed my own performance.
Im too proud, to ask for help when i need it.
Im too competitive, that I dont make friends in the same line.
Im too judgemental, that i always assume you are always wrong.
Im too independent, to the extent that everybody finds it impressive but scary.
I always think Im a superwoman, so I always try to learn and do a lot of things at the same time, neglecting my own health.
Im always too much naggy because i dont wish to see people making the same mistake but I had neglected the fact that mistakes make us grow in strength and experience.
I always forget that no matter how old I look, Im still a child, a child that need her childhood too.
I always think too much, that i made my friends worry about me too.
I always give a bad impression because I look very fierce when I dont talk and smile.
I always appear spoilt because I insist of enjoying good food and extensive list of wardrobe choices.
I am unapproachable because Im scared of strangers.
Within a minute, i can state down so many disadvantage of Jvnne.
Trust me if u are an online fan, the good image I potray is only just an image.
Maybe im even a 80 yrs old balding man whose interest is to pretend Im a xiaomeimei :)
P.S sorry for nt updating so long :) will blog about my trip and worldcup soon :)

The shortest and laziest way to slim down
I realised many of you have read this blog post of mine, and I had edited some parts of it because the story doesn't flow due to my negligence that i should have checked my grammar and sentence structures. It is still not perfect, but it will do. hahah. I went back to review the story , and i was horrendous at my writing , i spent fifteen minutes trying to edit it. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist.
Sharing with you people now my "slim down in the laziest and shortest way" holy tips! Lol. I do not gurantee that it is hundred percent effective though , it works for me but I dont know whther does it works for you too :)
1. Breakfast is always important. It is the time of the day when our body absorb nutritions better and it is the meal to kick-start our metalbolism rate! Avoid the oily singaporean style breakfast whereby you have the fried carrot cake/ fried beehoon etc. Start with a plain porridge and a fruit ! Fruits contain a lot of vitamins that are too good to be resisted!
***Orange, like other citrus fruits, is known for Vitamin C content. Due to this high amount of vitamin C, orange helps in absorbing calcium into the body. It also help in maintaining the health of teeth and bones. It also contains vitamin A and vitamin B.
The nutritional value of orange makes it good for indigestion, constipation, bowel disorders, dyspepsia, dental care, pyorrhea, bone health, heart diseases, respiratory problems, cold, cough, influenza, skin care, pimples, acne, fever, measles, typhoid and tuberculosis .
***Banana is rich in potassium. It also contains other minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus in large quantities. It is also rich in fibers making it a useful laxative and good for easing constipation.
The nutritional value of banana makes it useful for weight gain as well as weight loss, constipation, bowel problems, anemia, blood pressure, heart problems, ulcers, brain stimulation, depression, nervous disorders, stress, morning sickness, menstruation, etc.
***Apple is rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin C. Vitamin A concentration is higher in the outer skin than the flesh. Like potatoes, Vitamin C concentration is higher just below the skin in apples also. Hence the skin of the apple should not be discarded. Other vitamins present in apple include Vitamin K, Thiamin, Riboflavin, and Vitamin B6.
The nutritional value of apple makes it useful for digestion, stomach disorders, anaemia, wekness, dental care, dysentry, heart disease, rheumatism, eye disorders, cancer, gout, and skin care.
2.Avoid sugared drinks. For working adults, it is normal to have a cup or two of tea/ coffee during your work hours etc. Skip all these! For me i dont have a preference for coffee/tea/ milo, but i still drink the occassion green tea/ coke. This is not good. By chunking away all the soft/ sugared drinks, you will be getting rid of up to 300 calories per day. Research have been done and shown that by abstaining from these unhealthy drinks, you can lose up to 5kg in a year!
3. Leave the table when you feel like 50% full. This is the most effective point! Seriously you have to try it! Even though you'll be wasting the food you've bought to eat, but this works wonders! The mechanism thoery of slimming down is to Take in less calorie = burning more calorie, so If you bought a bowl of noodles, eat only half of the portion. Yes, i know you will get hungrier in a shorter period and therefore comes the fourth point......
4. Slot in a breaktime and teatime into your routine of breakfast, lunch and dinner . For example,
Breakfast 8.00am One apple
Breaktime 11.00am Two pieces of biscuit
Lunch 1.00 pm Soup with 3/4 chicken
Teatime 3.00 pm a cup of corn
Dinner 5.30 pm Salad
I know this really looks very little but you are not suppose to have a satisfying meal and feel full! The main purpose is not go starve yourself and go hungry. If you feel that my recommendation looks pretty torturing, feel free to increase your portion of breakfast, breaktime and lunch! Your body burns more calories in the early part of the day, and it will not jeapardize your chances of slimming down! Just remember to eat more during the day and cut down during the night! Yes and you notice that my dinner starts at 5.30pm because .......
5. Refrain from eating your meals after 7pm. Your body's metalbolism rate slows down after sundown. This is the same theory that you should avoid eating supper because its fattening. If you are a late morning person and night owl , thn i suggest you should.....
6. Do some light exercise/ stretching before turning in. Eg . Some warming up stretches for ten min. Twenty sit-ups, and twenty push-ups. You are only burning >50 calories per hr when you are sleeping, so to ensure you are burning more calories than your daily calories intake, do some light exercise that will increase your heartbeat rate a little.This also ensures a goodnight sleep and at the same time you tone up your body :)
Yes this is all! Are you surprise? Lol.
Try it and share your results with me ok. Remember you have to be consistent everyday! Im not following these rules anymore because Ive reach the ideal weight that I wanted :)
Beat my records! In 3 weeks time , Ive dropped from 55.9kg to 49kg. In the last weight i increase my calorie intake because I felt I dont look so good.
Now im working on toning up my body. Good luck :D

Motivated to blog :)
Warning** This will be a long and wordy post . I am bloggin this because this is my personal blog and i want to keep this as a memorial to keep me going in case i forget it someday. Most of you might not be interested.
Im sure many of the public bloggers out there receive criticism over their blog post whether its targeted on their photos, poor command of english, lack of content, etc etc etc.
Or most of us have a very busy hectic lifestyle that we cant be bothered to be repeating our daily life into writings online to entertain people.
For me, my blog is not very popular, sometimes i write about vain stuff, sometimes i put up a photos or two, and only recently i have been writing about my emotional stories and feelings i feel.
I also realised that most of my readers are guys, which dont really motivate me to blog about my makeup, blogshops etc.
I dont expect to have faithful readers clicking on my blog everyday just to check about updates on my life, but never in my lifetime, i expect these.
I received a PM in facebook from this guy, let's call him C ( i requested for his permission to blog this material , and he prefered to remain annonymous ) this morning to check up on my email.
Ashamed to say, I have not been checking that emails for quite sometime because mostly my BB is 24 hrs logged on to my office email and my personal email. Jvnne@live.com is the general email for the rest. For example, modelling assignments, buying clothes online and updates from Facebook etc. I do not want my BB to vibrate 24hrs non-stop.
I had a hard time trying to clear my spams/junks and amidst these nonsense, i found his emails to me. Which i did not reply at all until today.

Hi there!
Interesting to read your "10 reasons" why you are still single from your blog.. practical and realistic and truly insighful. Not sure if you would actually open this message and read, but if you had done so, please read on..
Totally agreed with you that upbringing, background, education plays a big part in forming oneself, though, would like to share with you that not all guys are like that.. I am refering to the ones you came across - is just that you havent met your fair share of guys who are what you are seeking for.. Would you think so? Is hard for me to convince you that - I am just a mere soul out of the millions and billions, I cant vouch much to what I claimed, but if you wont mind, perhaps you may read further to read on just a few little thoughts of mine?
Is true that guys adding you from online (be it in facebook or somewhere or anywhere) are attracted by your looks (me included, I am guilty of that!) but I guess it is something that you cant deny where attractiveness plays a part (significant I would say) in protraying one's self at first, especially where guys are more "sensual sensitive" creatures (is in-built in us, sad to say, is our lifetime physical limitation, we have to live with that and balance it with wits). Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why guys too would want to be appear at their best on their first date with a girl? To create the right, and of course true and honest, first impression. But would guys have the "right", "honest" and "true" impression in the first place?
I would like to say it is the "agenda" and the real intention/meaning behind one who initiate contact with you that is more (most) important, and that stems from upbringing - exactly what you said! Internet and online tools are just extra avenues and facilitation tools that evolves with time and improvement, is just a shame that there is a proportion of guys who are abusing/violating everything that exists - be it technology, one's moral and other's respect which everyone deserve in their own perspective. It may be easy or not easy to appreciate one's upbringing, but I guess we can only comes to a meek conclusion only when we interact with each other. Does this sound sensible? Certainly, I really believe that there are lots of great people around with excellent upbringing which we should seek to embrace and appreciate. I am still searching for it continously and I hope you too, would be the same.
I just feel that, more than anything else, most people are lacking quality interaction among ourselves and as a result a lack of soul mate.
I am sure that there would be guys wanting to know more about your hobbies, likes, dislikes, character, family, what you do (is a form of concern actually, would you think so?), your sharing of daily joy (or even complaints or grumbles), or maybe even the name of your small little pet and its favorite food etc - there is no boundaries to what you hope to know and understand from someone if you are truly geninue. Hope you would agree with me, to a certain extent.
Why I am writing to you is because I am sort of like frustrated by the surroundings lead by the minority (yes, I still think it is just that few bad apples) that create such a bad sterotype to you girls that some guys are deprived of a genuine opportunity to know people of opposite sex.. This is where my frustration stems from, but I guess I am helpless about that, what can I do, right? I can only make sure I try my best to be a good me and hopefully one day a small little pleasant surprise may appear.
My name is C, who un-wittedly added you in facebook by random 1 week ago. Again, just as what I written on my message sent to you on facebook (in case you have not read), I am embracing a geninue opportunity to know you and hope things can continue from that little facilitation internet tool to knowing and embracing a truly great soul in you!
I would like to end off by saying - Good Luck, I hope you can find the one you are looking for one day, slowly but surely. You just need a little luck to get embraced by the "minority" and soon you will realise there is actually a "majority" in the "minority" and that the "majority" deemed by you is actually only just a "minority". =)
Take care.
Yours,
C
[PS: Hope you would have a peaceful sleep tonight =)]

Hey!
Know what? I enjoyed reading your blog, though I only read it twice, but really, your words there are really spot on! Straight to the point, no dwelling around. Cool! I like you!
I totally agreed with you saying how can people go club and turn up for work the next day. I tried it once, (not clubbing but just went for drinking with my buddies), the next day, I totally cannot concentrate! And being in a profession like mine which requires me to be efficient, coping with tight deadlines, skeptical mind, and maintaining a professional image in front of my clients, totally a struggle! From then, I never never went drinking again,at least not to the stage where you dropped dead, and the next day you still have to work! In fact, I rarely drink. I would love my liver to be functioning well in 50 yrs time. By the way, I work as an Auditor, in one of the big 4 firms, in case you may want to know.
Would like to share with you too - I am very amazed why every weekend there are so long queues at Zouk. Being there twice for my company's function, left at 12 am, and the queues were so long for each time! My colleague told me it is just the start! Amazed! Whats going on? Are they batman or vampires or something? Only come out at night? It is so ridiculous that if you were there to collect 50 cents from each person, you can be easily a few hundred dollars richer, in the space of probably one hour! Thats higher than what I would earn in one hour for my job! And I am striving hard to earn an honest living but some people can just splash in in a blink. Gosh! That's a crime!
And to put it in a certain way, I am always puzzled by people who party their life away.. I mean, that's so sad, why would you want to always go to such a rowdy place, and so complicated, especially for the ladies, for a chill or relax? Isnt chill defined as something easy and relaxed and peaceful? Well, different people, different mindset, just couldnt appreciate. Sad to say, my ex likes to club, which my concern had always been her safety - you may never know what could be in there. Especially the people she hanged out with.. Just dont look 100% decent to me.. We had arguments, and as much as I love her, she just couldnt understand where I am coming from.. And.. well, what she did next, I think you would guess it right. I am just someone who cant appreciate clubbing. As much as I would trust she would take care of herself, I am still worried, especially I cant be there at 3-4 am with her everytime.
To add on to what you said, I feel that the company one mix with is equally important, or in fact, more important than anything else. It shapes who you are and your values and morals. I am glad I have a bunch of great people, who know the right priorities in life. I am lucky! And of course the upbringing my parents (my mum I would say) brought me. The discipline, the rights and wrongs. I still vaguely remember, in primary school (ok, stop laughing) I have a crush on a girl, and my mum knows about it, and she openly told me I cant like this kind of girl who is so rebellious, trouble maker, and she will never like her (ok, stop laughing please). At that point in time it doesnt really strike me, because it was just a crush and she doesnt like me (are you still laughing?), but yea, my mum was right, right now her life was in a mess. But I do sympathise with her, and also other people who are in trouble and being sucked back. Is a vicious cycle. I would always think it is a choice of how you want to lead your life. You must be sensible to know that. Which is why, I sympathise them.
I have no idea why would I have such a strong reaction after reading what you posted and comment on it. Haha.. Finally I found someone who agrees with me on certain things! And have strong views about it! My peers always said I over-react. Haha.. Well, I hope you dont find me a big reaction!
All rightz, not sure if you had read my previous email, but well, hope you can read it as well.
Take care!
Yours,
C
(PS: did you have a good sleep by any means?)
I think if I was him and i spent such a long time typing such 2 long emails to a person and he/she did not reply I will seriously give up sending emails. Waste of my time right! But he still sent!

Hello!
Guess one of my daily morning routine, beside eating my bread for breakfast, includes reading your blog and get to read any interesting things! (I think you blogged pretty late in the night and I am asleep by then - you know, when one is old, he needs to sleep slightly earlier =p) Without fail, there are new things that I found out about you from this latest post.
I guess you must have had been through quite a lot in the past, if not you wont be so wary and built up so many stacks of walls to protect the inner vulnerability of yours. I am so sorry to know that but yea, believe there is a better tomorrow and as always, you are still a great person and may all the people around you are as great as you. There are plentiful of great friends you have already, I hope they will keep increasing! =)
You will be a very good and special friend, to all the people whom you deemed them as your special ones in your life. I am sure about that, just by reading what you had posted in there with regards to your "hao jie mei". Carry on! It is always a form of happiness to know and have someone dear to you by your side.
Past, Present and Future. There is once someone who asked me will you mind someone's past since it is in the past already. Tough question, but I think the "Past" shaped who you are at "Present", and more often than not, it (may) details the direction you will be heading to in the "Future". Though more importantly it is the happenings and surroundings you are at "Present", which will surely determine where you are heading to in "Future". I would really think that it is hard for someone to really dispose and dont mind one's past - is just a matter of embracing it, if otherwise, you are just denying and avoiding facing someone's past. But one thing I think it is really true - dont let the "Past" continue to haunt you and keep you from moving on. Cant remember where I hear this from, but I think it is good to appreciate these words. Would you think so?
I wish you had embraced your "Past", seek to cherish and maximise your "Present", and continue to hope and strive for a better "Future"!
Are you more of a "listener" or a "speaker"? Sometimes listening to one's story is really enlightening. It is where we share, then we will appreciate one another and grow. I am more of the former, so if there is a day or night where you are bored or can't sleep, feel free to drop me a message on an email, and you will be sure I will read it as soon as I can.
Is rare to see a girl like you with a non-shaking mind of yours, a firm thinking of yours and never be afraid to give thoughts-provoking opinion! I won't say that I have a lot of females friends or acquaintances, is just I dont see much of your attributes among the ladies I interact with, be it at work or socially. I admire you for that! =)
I have another discovery! I realise what I wrote here on the email for you is not as much as flowingly as I wrote in my work reports! Haha.. So what does this mean? Hmmm..
Yours,
C

Hello!
No blog for me to read, but still a message to drop by and check how are you~
You are sick? Please take care, drink more warm water and rest more. No fried oily food for you until you get well again! =)
You are good in your own ways, don't get disheartened if someone does not appreciate you as much as you would appreciate him. No one is too lowly for that. Be happy, and you will be at your most attractive!
I rarely leave messages on the wall on facebook, sometimes I think a sincere message is meant for just between the 2 so I yea, prefer to keep it private. I mean, no other meaning! I am sure what I written so far is not too private that gives you any misundertanding, right? =)
Take care, Jvnne!

Hello!
No blog post, but got to come across your little trouble at the moment.
Erm, guess that you are losing weight, but I think your stats now is fine. As in your ht and wt, you are almost 1.7m, there is no way for your weight to become lower than say 48. It is not desirable and unhealthy. I guess your worries is more about the body shape. Hmm, I am not a professional so I dont really know how good or how ideal must a body look like for a model, so I just cut short on complimenting how good you have, and just jump into what could be good for you to achieve what you want. You and the people around you are more than capable on telling you whats good about you =) Ignore those harsh comments, take it as they want to make you better!
For ladies, I guess the most important thing is to watch your diet - less oily stuff, less carbo-rich stuff, more veges, more vitamins, more fruits, would be good for you.And right, never never think that dieting or not eating is good for losing weight, in fact it works the opposite. Even if you lose weight, it will rebound back easily. I would suggest maybe you have more meals, small and light, in a day. That will keep your body metabolism working and that burns the calories. You may ask what can you eat, erm, something light and healthy? Fruits are extremely good for you to munch during intervals of the day.
As for gym work, I would say yes, you need it - gym work is a good work to burn calories! Ok, the gym work you do will be very different from what guys do, no heavy weights, no training for power, and you can get a mind of peace that you wont get any heavy and big muscles. Go for light weights training, your body will be leaner, firmer, and yea, it should look better. If you dont eat much proteins, I dont believe you will build up muscles. You need more proteins to build muscles than say, fats. And base on the correct diet and the exercise regime, in fact you exercise to lose weight than to build muscles. So you dont have to worry so much.
For the last, I heard of this Detox thing, basically is to clear the toxic we had accumulated in our body, and this will make our body system cleaner, and as a result, healthier and SLIMER! Not sure how it works, but basically it just replacing your food with healthier choice, like snacks with fruits, soda drinks with fresh fruit juice (not manufactured with high sugar content) etc. And dont think that non soda can drinks are healthy - those are extremely high in sugar content which contribute to calories and fats. So watch out on that. Vitamins rich drinks are always the best! I am not exactly sure on how this Detox works, you may check it out.
Actually you may engage a fitness instructor to help you - they will give you very good professional advice. I learnt all these from a friend of mine who is a body builder and knows a lot on weight management and finess work. My female friends approached him back then and true enough they lose weight and look better. So yea, give it a try if you would want. But please, dont skip your meals, really it doesnt help you on weight management on a permanent basis. It can rebound back easily. And sleep too. I understand modeling is extremely tough, but hang on there, manage it and you would be fine. Good luck and all the best!
Regards,
C
[PS: I really hope you wont have to feel so stressed and got sleepless again]
I am touched, really very touched. Thank you C, for all these words of sincere concern directed to me, a stranger to you.
This is what it feels like when you felt as if you are alone and depressed, it will only take one of these emails to keep me motivated :)
In regards to the content, i will be replying to you soon, please watch your inbox :)
For my readers, I guess all of us have one of these "low" days, start by saying something encouraging to your family, your friends, your colleagues TODAY!
These words, might be short, might be insignificant to you but they do wonders!
It can be something appreciative , like telling your mummy you love her and thank her for her love and concern, something encouraging to your friends who have been studying too hard/ busy with work .
It has to start from somewhere, why not start from YOU?
I shall be a good example.
To my dear lovely readers :
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog , and sending emails to me.
Im just a little nobody but most of you have been so concern and supportive of me!
Be it whatever things you are currently busy with, a problem, work , school , relationship,
I wish you well, wish you health and wish you happiness.
I cant do much, but i can lend a listening ear.
You can email me! I cant promise a speedy reply but I will try to reply :)
Have a nice day!
Keep faith in your heart :)

Again, just as what I written on my message sent to you on facebook (in case you have not read), I am embracing a geninue opportunity to know you and hope things can continue from that little facilitation internet tool to knowing and embracing a truly great soul in you!
I would like to end off by saying - Good Luck, I hope you can find the one you are looking for one day, slowly but surely. You just need a little luck to get embraced by the "minority" and soon you will realise there is actually a "majority" in the "minority" and that the "majority" deemed by you is actually only just a "minority". =)
Take care.
Yours,
C

Hey!
Know what? I enjoyed reading your blog, though I only read it twice, but really, your words there are really spot on! Straight to the point, no dwelling around. Cool! I like you!
I totally agreed with you saying how can people go club and turn up for work the next day. I tried it once, (not clubbing but just went for drinking with my buddies), the next day, I totally cannot concentrate! And being in a profession like mine which requires me to be efficient, coping with tight deadlines, skeptical mind, and maintaining a professional image in front of my clients, totally a struggle! From then, I never never went drinking again,at least not to the stage where you dropped dead, and the next day you still have to work! In fact, I rarely drink. I would love my liver to be functioning well in 50 yrs time. By the way, I work as an Auditor, in one of the big 4 firms, in case you may want to know.
Would like to share with you too - I am very amazed why every weekend there are so long queues at Zouk. Being there twice for my company's function, left at 12 am, and the queues were so long for each time! My colleague told me it is just the start! Amazed! Whats going on? Are they batman or vampires or something? Only come out at night? It is so ridiculous that if you were there to collect 50 cents from each person, you can be easily a few hundred dollars richer, in the space of probably one hour! Thats higher than what I would earn in one hour for my job! And I am striving hard to earn an honest living but some people can just splash in in a blink. Gosh! That's a crime!
And to put it in a certain way, I am always puzzled by people who party their life away.. I mean, that's so sad, why would you want to always go to such a rowdy place, and so complicated, especially for the ladies, for a chill or relax? Isnt chill defined as something easy and relaxed and peaceful? Well, different people, different mindset, just couldnt appreciate. Sad to say, my ex likes to club, which my concern had always been her safety - you may never know what could be in there. Especially the people she hanged out with.. Just dont look 100% decent to me.. We had arguments, and as much as I love her, she just couldnt understand where I am coming from.. And.. well, what she did next, I think you would guess it right. I am just someone who cant appreciate clubbing. As much as I would trust she would take care of herself, I am still worried, especially I cant be there at 3-4 am with her everytime.
To add on to what you said, I feel that the company one mix with is equally important, or in fact, more important than anything else. It shapes who you are and your values and morals. I am glad I have a bunch of great people, who know the right priorities in life. I am lucky! And of course the upbringing my parents (my mum I would say) brought me. The discipline, the rights and wrongs. I still vaguely remember, in primary school (ok, stop laughing) I have a crush on a girl, and my mum knows about it, and she openly told me I cant like this kind of girl who is so rebellious, trouble maker, and she will never like her (ok, stop laughing please). At that point in time it doesnt really strike me, because it was just a crush and she doesnt like me (are you still laughing?), but yea, my mum was right, right now her life was in a mess. But I do sympathise with her, and also other people who are in trouble and being sucked back. Is a vicious cycle. I would always think it is a choice of how you want to lead your life. You must be sensible to know that. Which is why, I sympathise them.
I have no idea why would I have such a strong reaction after reading what you posted and comment on it. Haha.. Finally I found someone who agrees with me on certain things! And have strong views about it! My peers always said I over-react. Haha.. Well, I hope you dont find me a big reaction!
All rightz, not sure if you had read my previous email, but well, hope you can read it as well.
Take care!
Yours,
C
(PS: did you have a good sleep by any means?)
I think if I was him and i spent such a long time typing such 2 long emails to a person and he/she did not reply I will seriously give up sending emails. Waste of my time right! But he still sent!

Hello!
Guess one of my daily morning routine, beside eating my bread for breakfast, includes reading your blog and get to read any interesting things! (I think you blogged pretty late in the night and I am asleep by then - you know, when one is old, he needs to sleep slightly earlier =p) Without fail, there are new things that I found out about you from this latest post.
I guess you must have had been through quite a lot in the past, if not you wont be so wary and built up so many stacks of walls to protect the inner vulnerability of yours. I am so sorry to know that but yea, believe there is a better tomorrow and as always, you are still a great person and may all the people around you are as great as you. There are plentiful of great friends you have already, I hope they will keep increasing! =)
You will be a very good and special friend, to all the people whom you deemed them as your special ones in your life. I am sure about that, just by reading what you had posted in there with regards to your "hao jie mei". Carry on! It is always a form of happiness to know and have someone dear to you by your side.
Past, Present and Future. There is once someone who asked me will you mind someone's past since it is in the past already. Tough question, but I think the "Past" shaped who you are at "Present", and more often than not, it (may) details the direction you will be heading to in the "Future". Though more importantly it is the happenings and surroundings you are at "Present", which will surely determine where you are heading to in "Future". I would really think that it is hard for someone to really dispose and dont mind one's past - is just a matter of embracing it, if otherwise, you are just denying and avoiding facing someone's past. But one thing I think it is really true - dont let the "Past" continue to haunt you and keep you from moving on. Cant remember where I hear this from, but I think it is good to appreciate these words. Would you think so?
I wish you had embraced your "Past", seek to cherish and maximise your "Present", and continue to hope and strive for a better "Future"!
Are you more of a "listener" or a "speaker"? Sometimes listening to one's story is really enlightening. It is where we share, then we will appreciate one another and grow. I am more of the former, so if there is a day or night where you are bored or can't sleep, feel free to drop me a message on an email, and you will be sure I will read it as soon as I can.
Is rare to see a girl like you with a non-shaking mind of yours, a firm thinking of yours and never be afraid to give thoughts-provoking opinion! I won't say that I have a lot of females friends or acquaintances, is just I dont see much of your attributes among the ladies I interact with, be it at work or socially. I admire you for that! =)
I have another discovery! I realise what I wrote here on the email for you is not as much as flowingly as I wrote in my work reports! Haha.. So what does this mean? Hmmm..
Yours,
C
[PS: Hope you had another good night sleep again =)]

Hello!
No blog for me to read, but still a message to drop by and check how are you~
You are sick? Please take care, drink more warm water and rest more. No fried oily food for you until you get well again! =)
You are good in your own ways, don't get disheartened if someone does not appreciate you as much as you would appreciate him. No one is too lowly for that. Be happy, and you will be at your most attractive!
I rarely leave messages on the wall on facebook, sometimes I think a sincere message is meant for just between the 2 so I yea, prefer to keep it private. I mean, no other meaning! I am sure what I written so far is not too private that gives you any misundertanding, right? =)
Take care, Jvnne!
Yours,
C

Hello!
No blog post, but got to come across your little trouble at the moment.
Erm, guess that you are losing weight, but I think your stats now is fine. As in your ht and wt, you are almost 1.7m, there is no way for your weight to become lower than say 48. It is not desirable and unhealthy. I guess your worries is more about the body shape. Hmm, I am not a professional so I dont really know how good or how ideal must a body look like for a model, so I just cut short on complimenting how good you have, and just jump into what could be good for you to achieve what you want. You and the people around you are more than capable on telling you whats good about you =) Ignore those harsh comments, take it as they want to make you better!
For ladies, I guess the most important thing is to watch your diet - less oily stuff, less carbo-rich stuff, more veges, more vitamins, more fruits, would be good for you.And right, never never think that dieting or not eating is good for losing weight, in fact it works the opposite. Even if you lose weight, it will rebound back easily. I would suggest maybe you have more meals, small and light, in a day. That will keep your body metabolism working and that burns the calories. You may ask what can you eat, erm, something light and healthy? Fruits are extremely good for you to munch during intervals of the day.
As for gym work, I would say yes, you need it - gym work is a good work to burn calories! Ok, the gym work you do will be very different from what guys do, no heavy weights, no training for power, and you can get a mind of peace that you wont get any heavy and big muscles. Go for light weights training, your body will be leaner, firmer, and yea, it should look better. If you dont eat much proteins, I dont believe you will build up muscles. You need more proteins to build muscles than say, fats. And base on the correct diet and the exercise regime, in fact you exercise to lose weight than to build muscles. So you dont have to worry so much.
For the last, I heard of this Detox thing, basically is to clear the toxic we had accumulated in our body, and this will make our body system cleaner, and as a result, healthier and SLIMER! Not sure how it works, but basically it just replacing your food with healthier choice, like snacks with fruits, soda drinks with fresh fruit juice (not manufactured with high sugar content) etc. And dont think that non soda can drinks are healthy - those are extremely high in sugar content which contribute to calories and fats. So watch out on that. Vitamins rich drinks are always the best! I am not exactly sure on how this Detox works, you may check it out.
Actually you may engage a fitness instructor to help you - they will give you very good professional advice. I learnt all these from a friend of mine who is a body builder and knows a lot on weight management and finess work. My female friends approached him back then and true enough they lose weight and look better. So yea, give it a try if you would want. But please, dont skip your meals, really it doesnt help you on weight management on a permanent basis. It can rebound back easily. And sleep too. I understand modeling is extremely tough, but hang on there, manage it and you would be fine. Good luck and all the best!
Regards,
C
[PS: I really hope you wont have to feel so stressed and got sleepless again]
I am touched, really very touched. Thank you C, for all these words of sincere concern directed to me, a stranger to you.
This is what it feels like when you felt as if you are alone and depressed, it will only take one of these emails to keep me motivated :)
In regards to the content, i will be replying to you soon, please watch your inbox :)
For my readers, I guess all of us have one of these "low" days, start by saying something encouraging to your family, your friends, your colleagues TODAY!
These words, might be short, might be insignificant to you but they do wonders!
It can be something appreciative , like telling your mummy you love her and thank her for her love and concern, something encouraging to your friends who have been studying too hard/ busy with work .
It has to start from somewhere, why not start from YOU?
I shall be a good example.
To my dear lovely readers :
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog , and sending emails to me.
Im just a little nobody but most of you have been so concern and supportive of me!
Be it whatever things you are currently busy with, a problem, work , school , relationship,
I wish you well, wish you health and wish you happiness.
I cant do much, but i can lend a listening ear.
You can email me! I cant promise a speedy reply but I will try to reply :)
Have a nice day!
Keep faith in your heart :)

Friends, forever..
You know what the fav. question me and wanzhuo usually bombed with people are " Who is prettier?"
Then the person will be awkward because both of us used to look a teeny bit similar .
Now both of our style is obvious.
She's the tanned, cute, cheery, princess type of girl, while I am officially now fair, feminine, mature OL.
Lol, both of us are less than a year apart only :) Heh.
Despite these we are still best of friends are our bdays are looming nearer soooooo excited :D
For her only, i will sit in the club with her without touching alcohol for hours.
For her only i can sacrifice my sleeping time to spend a little bit more time with her because she's an night owl!
Babe this year i really hope you can fulfill my promise of spending less time in thai clubs and cutting down on quitting :)
You know i am always, always here to help.
To you strangers reading this entry now, I may be just another pretty face who is very unapproachable.
But its really how much effort you take to know my past, my present and the future Ive planned to know why I am how I am right now :)
It take even more effort to tear down the wall of defences i always had towards unknowns.
For you to score my trust and be my friend.
I will promise you a lifetime of friendship with me :)
Szeling, Howard, Wanzhuo, Weining, Weicheng , Maryann
you people are the special ones.
JingLin, Wendy, Christina, Cheryl, Dom, Ken, Victor, Keaven, Rachel.
DIfferent lifestyle but I have always treat put you in a special place in my heart.
Qiqi, Shina
Becoming my very fast friends
Yingsi, Melissa, Xiaoling, Alvin, Christina, Clement, Kevin, Tingyi, Jaycob, Owen, Lawrence, Xingyi
The regrets that our friendship didnt maintain.
Bombed you more photos of mineeeeeeeeeeeeee. :D

In defense of my last post! haha
Its exactly because im still young i have the time to look so why settle for anything less when i can have something more?
I dont think the requirements i have set are really those high high ones like the 5Cs or positions in jobs and etc
And that is just a blog post to entertain all of you :) heh...
if I really really really like the guy do u think i will even care if he is 150cm?
and of course the more important factors will be that he love me , love my parents etc etc
but its just that people have been asking me why im still single so i just come up with a quirky answer to it hehe :)
In addition i realised that in these months i have met really some nice gentlemen but its just some of their habits that stopped me etc clubbing and drinking.
Really cannot tolerate, call every wed, thurs and fri night to them.
"hey where you? oh, st james/powerhouse/supper/butter/thai clubs...."
Seriously, the next day he will be sooooo tired for work i dont think he have the energy to meet me after their work.
Even if he is still awake enough to meet me he will be scacrifcing his rest time and then the next day, he will be soooooo tired again.
Its a tedious routine D:
I know clubbing its some form of entertainment, of relaxation but those who still enjoys/ or able to find time and energy are those who dont have serious work commitment or still studying etc etc
If not for those that i know my family wouldn't approve, for this case i will fight with my parents one, and i found out that even though i always try to prove my mum and dad they are wrong, they ended up right most of the times.
In addition, i know the education part may sound ridiculous to some of you, but its like going for job interview you need to have certain calibre before you scored the job?
Its something like that ........
After that EX, i learnt family comes first in everything though i agree love is a two person's matter only, but each other parents played a very important part.
To really give up the one you really LOVE because of parents' factor might be really stupid but in this life u have to learn, eventually the one u married might not be the one u loved the most, but its actually the one u loved and the one u CAN lived with the rest of your life.....
I really dont want to pester my husband on this qn
" your mum and me dropped in the river who will u save?"
because thats the exact same qn i dont want to pester my son in the future :)
heh, im still young , love is not a priority to me :)
and im really ok being alone it suits my personality alot.
I may whine and cry sometimes that im alone but haven't I been proving to all of you that my emotional states may not be in the best form but i take care of my family, my friends, my job, my studies and my health too :)
Life cant be perfect, if i missed out the opportunity to find that someone, so be it.
because if he is there he is there, no point searching high and low if he is not there.
i believe even if i grow old i wont be alone :)
I dont think the requirements i have set are really those high high ones like the 5Cs or positions in jobs and etc

Ten reasons why I am single , till now
1. I need a guy that is mature, understanding and able to control my temper.
Which i know very well that these type of guys are only the minority. I need him to be able to guide me along and teach me things whether in life, about work and etc. Even though i am still at a tender age, i find myself preaching at guys who are older than me. I dont like it, at all. Hence because of my strong character, i need someone who is competitive, with big dreams, someone who might not be rich but will work hard to give me a quality life, someone who dont get jealous and over-protective easily, and someone who is faithful.
2. I need someone who is tall.
I know they say that age should not be a gap in relationship and height and weight should not be a factor too. But being realistic, guys are egoistic animal. When Im donning my 5 inch killer , I am 1.8m. Surprisingly, i will be ok with a guy shorter than me when im in heels but most guys are not ok. Thats why............ Its actually very hard to find someone who is 1.8m taller and love me and fulfill my above and below criteriaes :X
3. I cant stand my boyfriend smoking or going to club every week dutifully.
I know its not a crime to smoke, but for my personal well being and my family and his own health, he has to be a non-smoker or quit/decrease his smoking once he decided to commit to me. Dont ask me why i object to the latter, because squeezing with sweaty people and grinding against loose girls is not my top choice of entertainment.
4. I do not believe in online relationships.
Yes i know many of you have successful love story even though you meet each other online. Sadly it does not applies for me. Because those guys who want to know me online? They are just realistic people who add girls with pretty face. They are not even interested in my character or hobbies. The first thing they often asked are " Are you single?" , " How tall are you ah?" , " What are you working as now ?", " How old are you?" , " What kind of guys you like?" , " You got any friends to introduce to me? " , " Can you pass me your HP number? " , " Where do you stay?" . I dont entertain these kind of message anymore.
5. I cant stand guys who talk/sms/email/blog like underage girls
A standard example will be " Nice to meet u orhx. ^^ " Seriously?
6. I do not trust easily
I know more than 30 guys who actually concealed the fact that they are attached/ flirt behind girlfriend's back/ lied about themselves to protect their ego or brag about things that they actually dont own or cant do.
7. My parents are very very very demanding and strict
You need to complete your NS, because my mum said guys who have not gone through them are just boys. You need to have a good education backup. My family dont believe in making money without a certificate. Your family background must not be too messy, not a drunkard for dad who owes ah loans money. You promise to take care of me no matter what happens. You must not be too popular with girls.
8. My boyfriend must priortise me before their " brothers "
I hate feeling neglected when its the men's outing session D:
9. I expect a gentleman
Open the doors for me / slide in the cab before me / do not use vulgarities .
No i dont expect you to pay for my every meal/movie/shopping, i can pay for myself. A treat once a while will be fine with me. I get turned-off when a guy expects me to pay for his share without offering to pay.
Therefore he need not be rich but not in financial distress? I hate feeling as if I'm feeding xiao bai lian. Be surprised, more often than not I'm always the one paying at meals.
10. He must love animals and children
Because i love them :)
Therefore its not the reasons that i cant really forget my EX, i certainly dont love him anymore but there isn't anyone who qualify for the ten reasons above . He did and he loved me more than he loved himself even though the anger management control problem.
Its also not superficial reasons that my BF must drive expensive car. I am comfortable with taking cab on my own. He also need not be handsome, actually im scared of guys that are good-looking! Too many girls flocking around!
heh. some overdued photos from STUFF magazine shoot. Have you grab a copy? :)
