A word:

 

1. Lunch with S. after accompanying K and another classmate to Bishan to grab their coffee and biscuits
2-4: Camwhoring with my new hair accessory before meeting Odie dear :)

We watched 'Mama' at Plaza Sing today, after dining at B.K at Novena! Mama was okay, though i think the ghost looked like it belonged in some Thai B-grade horror flick. Crowd in the theatre was really funny and responsive to the movie too; some people in the front exclaimed loudly when the protagonist was about to discover the ghost and the whole theatre laughed. Sounds mean but it felt friendly at that time :)
Also, there was this scene where the ghost approached this 'intruder'-after knocking the protagonist out-and it kinda of...it's crown of wispy, floating hair came sliding through the wood floor before leaping out at said intruder. Maybe it's the bimbo in me, but i couldn't help but notice how silky and clean it looked in comparison to it's desiccated body...it looked more like a hair ad to me! Put that scene in a bathroom with a bottle of clearly labelled shampoo and the producers could have earned extra by doing product advertising, i tell you.
There wasn't enough time after to shop at Bugis as planned, so we simply walked around a bit before going home. We were both tired, but i appreciate the time spent with a good friend. :))


On another note, Odie and i were abroad the bus to P.S when i couldn't help but notice this pretty Western girl. I guess she must have taken my lingering glance the wrong way(no, not that way), because she did the 'Up-Down look', stared hard at my sizable body and smirked meanly. Honestly, i was a bit taken aback, because...who does that??? A rather gauche, obviously rude and uncultured action, in my opinion, and i'm not saying it as a form of cheap retaliation. I simply stared back at her and judged her.
Maybe she wasn't used to that sort of reaction from 'my kind', because she stopped short and started looking around uncomfortably in every direction but mine afterwards.
A small note to anyone who may be reading this: Remind yourself that you are everyone's equal-no matter what your circumstances may be-and that you've a right to be where you are right now. And just be firm and confident in dealing with these sort of beings! 

Bigger-sized people do have it tougher-social stigma(apparently some people choose friends based on looks-a social status thing, i suppose [super shallow and insincere way to make 'friends', if you ask me] ) and we bigger-sized people sometimes get hated based on for no marginally-better reason than our size.
It is our fault to some extent, i think. Some may not exercise/work at keeping slim out of sheer lack of discipline and willpower; some may not have time to keep fit..the list goes on. Some however, may not be able to keep fit due to medical problems like heart disease and angina(chest pain). Others may gorge themselves sick on food due to emotional issues, stress and comfort-eating; the list could go on...
Just food for thought.

But anyway, i guess it was good i had this little experience-it really reminded me that i've been really slack in losing weight! Lost 4kg a month plus ago and i've 10kg more to lose.
It's enough motivation for an hour of jogging and skipping rope on the weekends and whenever possible! Plus there's a current lull before exams so, might as well.~

My, how i've rambled.
Time to hit the sack, i think!
Nights y'all :)
