Plastic surgery, is it gd for You?

Wat are your views toward it? Do u accept it as ppl need to go there to beautify themselves? Will you be one day plan to do that too (or Already Done so)? Are u comfortable with it? If yes, what do u want to change then?

Recently, there seem to be an increase in reports on it, ppl are getting more open toward the idea of going under knife. “No Pain, No Gain” there’s a saying. Beauty is really an essential ever since long ago. Those who are beautiful are often loved, n being concern than those who are lesser, are neglected. Ppl pity the beautiful ones like if we saw the death of a butterfly compared to a death of a crow.. Ppl dun reali think twice to sigh for the fragile butterfly. There is even a report saying that beautiful, tall people get more pay than their colleagues. Unfair.. there always a thing for unfairness.. if not, there wouldn’t be a word called “miracle”. Those beauties even get choices in choosing their suitors.

There is an old woman in recent newspaper, (about 50 +) go under the operating theater for more than 10 times…(frm actresses to ppl from the walk of lives). There is even a famous Korean female star, whose looks is so stunning with tat super-gd figure, hey that is a guy. Nowadays there had been a lot of cases…so what is the downside or is there any? Does anyone cares? Even there are TV shows like Extreme Makeover, nip n tuck.
Pain is ok…beauty come first… I think for most people' cases. At least chk out the beauty pageants are real… (the judges will got to dig out their histories)… But then I also heard there is another sort of beauty contest for the other kind of ” beauties” too… I’m stunned to find out that most of the china gers had gone to plastic surgery (n in fact mre than 10 times…in sg, ppl dun even go beyond 2/ 3 times).. Lengthen their legs is most sought other than the double eyelids. (…so much pain had to go through – breaking yr legs bones then put a screw n metal thing…depend hw long u want it to be….yucks…n I dun think after that u will be able to do any exercises; like running)

oh.h. Even now, men go for saloon…not only for hair cut, but facial treatment. Slimming programming are jt so popular n irrating.. Everywhere u seen it n the ads are jt ballooning…(dun know which to believe!??) Ppl want to change into a figure when they were as teenagers or even more desirable one which they nvr had before. Jt Change whatever or everything we want…but is there a price to pay?!…

//Side point; one of my fertile wild imagination -; so we did indeed managed to change into beauties…n later we got our spouse who also like tat, married, had a child.. (turn out to be ugly..?) cos he/she got our original features; genes. So who to blame?) “Hey, didn’t know u look like tat?! Or is this ”Huh!!, that’s our baby mah???!!”). See the result of Jackie Chan n his son...he got his father ‘s nose, not only that he got his father’s eyes too.. In fact, Jackie had gone through plastic surgery himself in order to had double eyelids, or else who do u think his son inherit from?…his mom is a beauty (we all know: as we seen it at the old movies. :P)

IT gadgets

The moment someone mention this, people will think of It fair.

Latest IT gadget lures people go n buy. Right now people dun care whether do they really need that particular device, or what does it really do to help in their daily lives. But because it is cool, unique, they decided they must really had to get one in their possession…like having latest hand phone, notepad, palmtop TV, DVD / MP3 player / having the all round sound system (the “wishing” list goes on n on) for their “palace; home sweet home.”

If people really stop their paces n think about it, they should know it is quite redundant. They had been working for such long hrs to listen carefully what they wants… Having these things, I can say it is of pleasure, luxury gds…does it really provide us (what we really want).

Lack of love n security can be replaced by these high technology equipment? Like having a robot dog/ cat to show that people, we can care n love n even having a robot at hm help us to improves the security at home? The security we lack of is things we cant see, but feeling in our hearts.

Brands even come into our minds when we want to buy something (brand conscious). Does branding helps in improving the quality of goods? Sometime we buy something e.g. TV, it is not really “old set” is down cause it was just bought recently a few months ago. But people started thinking to get a new one instead with new functions and enhanced features. Technology had rapidly been changing so people were constantly upgrading for that too.
Like the TV companies, they had grown from the idea of making every household to own a TV set, to every room to have a TV set…. even buses(SBS, MRT: the transport) we take everyday, had installed one. So come to think of it, if in near coming time, we can even look for a TV (wat's more? A plasma one pls..!! J)in the
toilet…in order not to miss any” important news.

In fact, our home is filled with the new technology (Dun know if u notice most of the stuffs can onli really last more than a yr plus). Since everything is new, therefore the “old”/ “oldest” antiques must be us. We lived; survived for a number of years, weathered all situations and even emotional crisis of ourselves. Our system deteriorated throughout the years…mm. So shall we change a new model of ourselves? Changing a new heart perhaps since our old one seems to pump the blood slower, get a new leg.. as we cant run anymore and our bones had became brittle. Hehhahah.. Maybe in future, we really can do that.. Mm… it make me think of plastic surgery, maybe the next topic will be on plastic surgery.

Hey, mighty thnks to those who read my blog.. I do welcome any comments on the topics, cos wat I wrote is jt my personal views (might be different frm u) so I will interested to know what are yr views. Thank u again once more. :)

Olympic: Our Dreams or Goals

Olympic: Is Singapore really able to go for it now? Olympic had just ended, with the closing ceremony is still playing it over in my head. It was reali fantastic, an eye-opener, and so many things happening at one go. Be it sports or not. Reports on sports are all over the local newspapers than usual dishes. Everyone, all of sudden was caught in the “typhoon” of it. I called it “typhoon” cos it had caught up ppls’ sudden interests and sort of went off fast enough than for us to be thrown back again into our daily jobs…
During those days, everywhere u could see the reports of the Olympic, catching the news of sport events in Athens. It was splashing everywhere. Even way before the games start, there were news of Athens, preparing all the precautious (security tighten up to prevent noisy rowdy crowd even terrorists: Lucky there wasn’t any). Lots of money also poured in to be done with all the maintenance of the stadiums; n ensures the smooth traffic flow as the Olympic began. It had really left them a lot of debts now according to papers, but nevertheless the people are proud to hold this big event in their “beautiful” cities (as the promotion of the “tourist board” always do). People who lives near the vicinity, were even grateful, as there is alot of new entertainment settings, the roads (which are oft complained) are repaired, as the Govt could no longer put it off in order to save their grace when Olympic start.
Sport could reali help to unite ppl, as everyone of us is now standing on the common grounds. I did get to see the real sportsmanship incidents at this season like the Gymnastics; when one of the contestants is badly judged due to his bad final landing. But ppl was heard cheering for him, even demand the judges to give a fair result.. wow.. that was gd…no competition, everyone even the coaches jt went cheering n standing on his side regardless of what races nor countries he represented. In the end, he was a like peacemaker, calming the enthusiasm spectators down. Friendships are definitely built n bonded by then. The spoils are: During the race, a person like the mad Irish priest pushes athletics off the running track just few more paces before he could end the race. So pity for that guy, of cos, the culprit is sentenced to jail of the disturbance.
Our sportsmen, or so “called” our representatives were all disappointments,.. n disappointments. Looking forward for our “infamous” water teams, at Athens, turned out knocking off one after another. It was reali saddening to see, not to mention the embarrassment when we recall how we used to boast our team. Their results were like a disaster, one could be reali at loss to explain n even judge on it, “bless” that coach could even came out with the explanation n conclusion. You could see the “much” difference as we compared the timing our swimmers do with the records. It was way too much, not even a slightly close; like a child swimming records (2mins to 0.57secs). They better give a gd explanation for their results. Not even convincing, sound veri unstable. Then our yachter n shooter was off at the first round. N our “near” close shave to the wining rounds. It was so long since we last see our sportsman got a gold from Olympic.

Our hopes were again hang up one more when we saw our contestant in the badminton courts, beaten all the strong, high, worthy opponents… Our eyes were like glued on the wide TV screen, catching every moments n glances, cheering, yelling or some keeping our fingers crossed, praying hard for it…so many years.. yaa… had gone. He was so brilliant in his excellent shots, so do Li Jiawei in her table tennis tournaments. But Lady Luck was not with them throughout the whole game, they get distracted in game n missed the gold. It is almost an impossible dream but come to think of this. They are not even local.. but foreigners…

Now sg even going for sport like having sports sch…so many things/ activities are promoted to target on it…. but can we really make it to a reality goal than jt a beautiful high-up dream fantasy…sigh.
Promote sg as a culture sophiscated society is one thing, but doing this (making Singaporeans tune mre towards exercise) even harder… not many artists is often recognized/ appreciated here too…thinking n mindset had to be change, we had to ” brain wash” to make it as success.
I think its not easy since we grew up into a place where a paper chase is gd enough to bring u everywhere…u desire. Having top place in sch (make u n yr parents proud, even teachers n principal get the honour, then come landing a gd job n stable salary). “The higher education, the higher position u get”, this also put u in a different social class than others. In sg, this is very prominent evidence. Compared to other countries like European, where they look into experiences n creativeness + innovative… Sg ppl just had to try hard to go into entrepreneur.. venture out far beyond its small island, is already very achievable… Remarkable!! I could say...
