FAQ about relationships - Aunt Agony is back with (psychologically proven) answers!
Haven't blogged in a while. been busy n not that exciting stuff gg on. Anyway, yest n today was Festival of Nations at north court. the different clubs and societies set up food booths selling mostly asian fare. Yest, i was so excited i skipped lecture to go n eat. ok la, but being a good studious girl, i went for make up lecture at 4.15pm. haha. i spent 15 bucks! had 2 sticks of chicken satay ($2 each!?!!?!), an ang ku kueh, some green n white kueh, ondeh ondeh (which was practically empty! where's the sweet juicey coconut filling?!?!) teh tarek, chicken slovaki (Greek), some Greek pastry dessert which was YUMMY and a small piece of sticky date cake in caramel sauce (UBER DELICIOUS!!!) yep, so delicious. haha. that's y i had salad and an apple for dinner.
i had run trg that evening. did 3x1k at princess park. man, i'm getting quick! haha. was running like 4-4.07min per 1k, with 3 min rest. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE
kk this morning during swimming trg, the warm up set (which isnt actually considered warm up la, it's a moderate paced set)was so long. 2.4km! then did 8x200m. cant believe it, i was going at abt 2.53 each! v happy. Dave (coach) asked me to lead the set (what a relief!) i'm kinda hesitant to ask John or Ian if i can go ahead of them, coz i'm worried they'll get offended. like i think im so fast. or, maybe i might die after a couple of reps which is embarassing, or yea the male ego (who's this chick kicking my ass in the pool??) hahaha. kidding. but yea, Dave told me to be more confident n lead coz i'm quick! i'm gonna get promoted to Wille's lane soon...i hope. haha. anyway i was so tired after trg. arms felt like falling off.
had breakfast with John and Wille at Thresh. had a nice chat. John's really nice and helpful. haha. used to think he's kinda scary, coz he's my dad's age! haha like late 40s. and he's doing Kona. These guys are like sub 10hr IM. insane. yep, and they're all professionals. Ant, this marathon runner who used to train with the team but gave up tri for marathon running, yea, he is an architect and is married. cool! i thought he was a pro athlete. and he's clocking 160km of run mileage a wk and 'cruises' to sub 2.30 marathons. speechless. see, triathletes are high achievers, efficient, extremely capable and actually have lives. muahahaha.
went to the Feast again this afternoon with Cenna. i had bak chor mee (dry minced meat and mushroom noodle). actually it's some malay noodle but it looks and tastes exactly like BCM what! haha yummmy just what ive been craving. then i had the caramel date cake again, and bandung. tt's all, enough junk from yest. But still, had veggies and dinner again! yummy, love it! haha
oh oh. i must say, we workshopped an article during professional writing today. ARGH! i didn't like it at all!!! i gave pretty harsh comments, but of coz tried to balance things out by saying some nice stuff (which came out worse than constipation) well weird, i was thinking, was everyone just being nice and saying real nice stuff or was i confused myself due to fatigue. but i mean, pls!!! it was a mess, jumping back n forth n i had no idea what the story was, what the point was n what time the story took place. like i said the whole piece was just rambling on abt the problem -sorry- a problem. but WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM?? so messy. some ppl even said it brought out the confusion and is an honest piece coz the writer doesnt have the answers or know how to grapple w the issue. Excuse me, i think it's HONESTY SAYING, the author himself/herself is CONFUSED. there's a difference in showing one is overwhelmed by an issue or an incident, and at a loss as to how to handle it. this is DIFFERENT from being confused and unfocussed. i see it as a lack of effort to think through the issue. it's as gd as saying, i write a bunch of rhetorical qns (the essay was filled with vague rhetorical qns) abt random issues and related ideas, and i say "there! an essay about confusion!" wow brillant. hurr hurr.
well after that i spoke to some of my classmates they were like "i like how critical u are. it's how u improve, everyone's just being nice. i was waiting for some one to say those things." yea ppl shd thank me for taking the initiatve to be the villian. ok, in order not to make myself sound like a bitch, there are actually pieces i like, and i do give GOOD comments abt even a LOUSY piece. but i must say, workshopping is gd coz i get to see many other ppls' points of view. and ppl do disagree with me. which i like. but i like to argue until im right (but of coz i dun say it out) hahahhaa. this gives me added pressure to mk sure my piece is flawless so no one can tear it apart. muahahahaha.
anyway i've got sooo many assignments to do! but it's ok, they're interesting so i'm fine with it. ohoh, i love social psychology, its really interesting and relevant to life.
How abt some interesting facts on RELATIONSHIPS AND BEAUTY. Ever wondered why that cute hunk next door isn't attracted to you? (besides the fact tt maybe you're unattractive) discover how to HOOK him!
Q: u know y u alwyas think ur passport photo is so ugly but ppl think it's ok?
A: coz it's not how u see urself. u always see urself in the mirror which is inverse from what others see you. and in photos, it's the view ppl have of u. this is bcoz familiarity breeds liking. (does this mk sense? it's what the lecturer said...)It is proven that one is more incline towards picking/liking the letters in one's name. which means to say, i probably like the letter 'e' alot. heh.
Q: why are some GORGEOUS ppl with HIDEOUS FREAKS?
A: r/s are based on an exchange of rewards theory. we all seek sth to gain from that r/s. i.e. her good looks for his money. so in my case, it would be my good looks and intelligence and eloquence and fitness and health and wealth for your....erm...erm...erm...(i sense an imbalance here...)it's kinda like everyone has a market value. If your market value is lower than mine, i might perceive you to be 'not good enough for me'. Hence my strong view abt guys having to match up to me. sorry guys, mission (almost) impossible. hehe
Q: Unlike poles attract?
A: NO, sorry, for those of you giving excuses that your r/s is gonna work out even tho he's a mute and u're a chatterbox, sorry to burst your bubble. haha. e.g. outspoken ppl will tend to find partners who are outspoken as well. Only in sex role differences do unlike poles attract. e.g. a masculine man n a feminine woman, dominant man and submissive woman.
Q: Why are guys so superficial, going after pretty young girls??
A: Besides the fact that they are plain superficial and think they need a pretty accessory to spice up/make up for their ugliness, it is actually for practical reasons which were given to them by the apes from 1000000000 years ago! guys like 'baby-faced' girls i.e. large lowset eyes, small nose and chin, 0.7 waist to hip ratio. (shit, i suck in my stomach until wanna faint already still not 0.7 leh...) haha. well, these physical features are indicators of fertility. Also, body symmetry. it is an indication of health. in a study done, male bodies were measured for their degree of symmetry. then they will wear a t shirt for 2 nights. women will then be made to smell the tees and decide which smells are attractive. It turns out, we shd smell men instead of looking at them! coz the tees identified as attractive smelling corresponded with males who had more symmetrical bodies! (only when women are ovulating, that is) yea i read in the papers abt 'follwing your nose', not heart darlings...NOSE! Besides, attractiveness is linked to personality, beliefs and attitudes. if someone shares the same peronality traits, values and views as you (esp views abt urself), u'll find the person more attractive. (so true! no wonder hardcore triathletes are all so attractive...)
Q: So, what male facial features do women find interesting?
A: it depends on her menstrual cycle. When ovulating, large jaws, high cheekbones were seen as attractive. i read somewhere thin lips and large noses too (eh, that means dad must be v attractive la! hehehe). anyway. and during pre-menstrual and menstrual periods, male faces with black eyes, broken noses and scissors in their eyeballs are most appealing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
yea and one thing, u know how u guys can laugh at girls coz u can just have casual sex then walk away, leaving the poor girls pregnant and having to take care of the baby? you SELFISH BASTARDS! anyway, yes, guess what? at least we'll know that baby is OURS! 14% of offspring of married couples have a father other than the husband. so, u might've spent all ur time and energy bringing up some kid who doesnt carry on your gene line! eh shit, then again, the bad guys get to play and the good guys take the responsibility. aiya, moral of the story, dun have sex la! **sexual arousal and desire are not needed to produce intense feelings of love (sorry, sex for love excuse doesnt hold anymore)
Q: Why do couples tend to look alike? Does greater interaction lead one to morph into the other??
A: because u gotta choose someone your own standard, honey! (so pls, look into the mirror before coming over to intro yourself, thanks)hahaha. so unless u're as gd looking as me, i prob won't find u attractive (i might as well look into the mirror, at least wont get sore eyes!). EXCEPT if you have truckloads of money or is v intelligent or sth la.
answer to 'how to get the guy of your dreams' - go for plastic sugery, fake your bank account, memorise academic material, raid his room (wear his clothes, listen to his music...so u become more alike). OR, how about that skinny nerd in chest high pants, knee high socks and goofy buck teeth (awwww....so cute....)?
ok, isnt this interesting?! i've actually read the whole chap in the textbook, and went to read up online. so interesting! and it's what my essay is on so how exciting! but seriously, i think it makes me alot more critical of my relationships. alot more skeptical too, questioning may areas. oh wells.
i had run trg that evening. did 3x1k at princess park. man, i'm getting quick! haha. was running like 4-4.07min per 1k, with 3 min rest. WHEEEEEEEEEEEE
