Do you see difficulties in every opportunity or opportunities in every difficulty?
Lying is part of The Job
She is a super agent – smart, beautiful and calm under pressure. Soo-Ji is not your typical girl. Or at least she tries hard to be one. While frustrated with men, she coincidentally runs into her ex-boyfriend who had left her.
He is a bumbling rookie agent – who tries way too hard to impress. Jae-Joon takes on his first job as an agent. But things aren’t that easy. He goofs up on every task, getting yelled at by his superiors and comrades. Nothing goes well for him.
Lying is part of their job and secrecy is the name of the game.
Soo-Ji and Jae-Joon are also college sweethearts who have broken up due to Jae-Joon’s inability to put up with Soo-Ji’s frequent lies. Unbeknownst to each other, both of them work for different spy departments within the South Korean Intelligence Agency. Their paths cross when a Russian Organized Crime Group sets out to steal an advance chemical weapon from Korea.
“My Girlfriend Is An Agent” is clearly a Korean take on Hollywood’s action film “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” with an added dose of comedy. Remember the first time you sat down and fell in love with a Korean comedy? Well, you’re going to have that same feeling all over again when you watch this movie :)
Tips to Happiness
Stop complaining ♥ Hear that, Singaporeans? Choose to see the good and be selective :)
Whatever you do, give it your best ♥ At the end of it, you can proudly say that, “I have done my best”, and have no regrets.
Decide that happiness is a daily decision ♥ Wake up every morning and tell yourself that you choose to be happy. Look into the mirror and smile :) It will activate all those happy cells in your brains, bringing a healthy, youthful radiance that glows on your skin.
Accept where you are ♥ Shit happens. Things that shouldn’t happen can happen. If your boyfriend cheats on you, you can’t change reality.
Make a conscious decision to look for a reason to be grateful ♥
Set goals that have meaning for you ♥ You have to decide for yourself to live your own life, rather than pursuing someone else’s goals for you.
Decide to like yourself ♥ You don’t have to be perfect. Look for improvement, not perfection.
Be in love with yourself ♥
Love is a Verb
Because love isn’t just a feeling.
Love is a choice, and love is something we all need to do.

Shoes and Men
“In an age of slovenliness and fat, simply being thin is a mark of status, and high heels emphasize the advantage by lengthening the leg… Women’s willingness to tolerate discomfort, even pain, in the service of fashion is often chalked up to the desire to attract a mate or to rise a step in the social hierarchy.”
Interesting.
I read some intriguing fashion insights regarding 12-inch heels on display at Alexander McQueen’s 2010 spring show. It makes me wonder. Why do we love the shoes that hurt us? What are the consequences of wearing high heels?
How is it similar to relationships, men in particular? How much pain can women tolerate? What are the consequences of being in an unhappy relationship? Many people settle too quickly into situations that aren’t a good fit for them because they think that being with the other person externally validates their worth.
Unlike shoes, you don’t have to settle for someone who completes you. Instead, find someone who complements you.

It is not within my means if there are people out there who love to speak or write in heaps of negativity. I don’t feel a need to defend or explain myself but I detest it when people don’t get their facts right and make derogatory claims or remarks or even to the extent of ‘name’ calling. Therefore, I am going to address this topic so I can set the record straight and clarify matters once.
Coincidences do occur from time to time and I have better spirit than to plagiarize from an unworthy source. Sometimes, when I am in a mood, I do partake in some harmless googling to pluck words of wisdom from parts of the web to share with my friends and readers.
If this is not your quote, do not bother making a big fuss out of it.
Oh, check this out. This is a print screen of Newsweek dated 30th March 2009 – Generation Diva. I got my beauty breakdown from here.
See that click here to find out exactly how much women spend on a lifetime of beauty maintenance? Did someone forget to mention that my post was written before the mentioned on 1st April 2009 after reading Newsweek? The only possible source that I can quote is Newsweek :)
Next time use a higher resolution photo, if not people might think that you copy me since yours was written on the next day *primary school girl voice*
Being a social science graduate, I have given proper citations to every single comment, remark, fact or whatsoever for every single paper, slide, speech, presentation, report etc. I do not need a business graduate to teach me where I should quote, when to quote, what not to quote or even how and who I should quote. If I did not obtain my sources from the mentioned, I will never give credits. That being said, I can’t possibly defend myself all the time when such claims or remarks are made. I’m not obsessed with my site, visiting it every day, much less yours. What happened in my life is so different from yours. Oh well.
To those who are guilty of the above, please grow up.
Singapore Grand Prix 2009
FORMULA 1™ is under the lights of Singapore and the scrutiny of millions as it embarks on its second night race on 27th September 2009.
Nothing was happening on the road yet but we were all clearly excited. We sat on our little plastic seats eating soon kueh, hoping no one would catch us with our smuggled food. Somehow after a few minutes, we did not care. We were at the FORMULA 1™ night race. I was extremely excited about going to my first FORMULA 1™ race. I kept smiling from the moment I woke up on race day, all the way till I took my seat at Stamford Grandstand. This is the coolest spot I would say. I get to enjoy views of the cars negotiating more than one turn. Last year, this was the spot which produced one of the best overtaking opportunities. I hope to see one! Or maybe an accident! I want to see some action! Preferably cars colliding into one another, skid across the roads while at the bend and BOOMZ! *chuckles*
As soon as the cars rocketed off the line near the bend, a cloud of dust flew into the air and made visibility and traction hard to come by. The smell of burnt rubber, the exhilarating sound of the engines and the tiny blobs of grease all over my limbs. WOW! It was indeed an experience. I could literally feel the cars zooming pass on my bare eyeballs!
Lewis Hamilton won Formula 1’s second night race with a commanding performance from pole position in the Singapore Grand Prix. Timo Glock and Fernando Alonso completed the podium with brilliant drives for their struggling teams, after pitlane penalties destroyed Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel’s chances of winning. Sigh, Nico I think it’s the Feulletine-Hazelnut mooncakes.
Nevertheless, Thank You Adel. It was THE BEST spot. I will be back next year – If and only IF there’s another special arrangement :*) I hope to mingle with the drivers! Till next year!
I’m lazy to upload my photos. Google them! It’s everywhere on the web :) For more information, visit the official website at www.singaporegp.sg

Boost Your Brain Power
Happy Children’s Day!
As major school examinations loom, anxious parents will want to do all they can to help their children achieve better grades. Here are some tips to boost brain power which I got from Mind Your Body :*) Hope it helps!
Sleep Getting enough sleep is absolutely essential. Most people know that I sleep less than 3 hours each day. Please do not follow me! It is definitely not wise to do so. “Sleep helps the brain to rest and recover and consolidate memories. Good quality sleep keeps the brain alert and responsive, while lack of sleep can lead to poor focus and memory loss.” Nevertheless, I think I’m least affected by sleep. My memory is too good to be true and I can focus even better when I sleep less. I’m grouchy when I sleep more than 5 hours :)
Light Meals Avoid large meals or heavy meals in fats, particularly just before an exam. “When we eat a heavy meal, blood is diverted to the digestive tract and away from the brain. This makes us sluggish and sleepy.”
Diet Have a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, which will boost the immune system. This is good for key internal organs which directly affect the brain. Tip: Soupy meals with fish or chicken and dates. Other brain foods include black sesame, walnut, wolfberry and American ginseng. Drink plenty of water too!
Relaxed Environment Keep the home environment harmonious and free of argument. Reduce stress for the child so he/she can focus on his/her revision. Parents, please do not constantly nag at your child to study harder. It will just irritate the shit out of them.
How True?
“There’s a point in your life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it’s not giving up and realizing that you don’t need certain people and the shit they bring”
Style Insider ♥ Maggie in the Nude
There are some classic fashion pieces every girl needs to own. These classics not only keep you looking chic on campus, but also sexy at work! You probably already own a killer pair of black heels. Black is classy and goes well with anything. While black is great, sometimes you just need a little oomph.
If you don’t have a pair of nude heels of your own, they are a style you must invest in.
There’s just something so naked about this wonderfully inviting neutral color. Dresses, tops, pants and accessories – you’ll find fashionistas wearing this trend in every form possible. You’ll be able to integrate your new pumps into your wardrobe seamlessly, and may even find yourself picking them instead of your basic black when you’re getting ready to go out! For legs that look like they go on forever, take a cue from some famous fashion moguls and find some flesh-fitting kicks.
What can I say about Maggie Q? She is smoking hot!
My favorite way to sport my nude appeal is on my feet and I can’t wait for the upcoming collection from Charles & Keith. It’s time to be in the nude girls :*)

Glitz and Glamour
I miss being in the limelight. I hope to shine one day.
Will there be a chance for me to do so?
Want…
This is a want… not a need.
I have the black one though… *drools*
Now, I can only pray hard that my leg will recover soon.
I miss wearing them.
Life after being a student
I am not in the best of moods right now, so everything that I type following this would be considered as irrational thoughts spewed in a pique of frustration.
I realized that studying is the only thing in my life that never disappoints me. Some may wonder “How can that be?” True. But yes. Studying is constant, I know I can depend on it and I know that it is for my own good. Either you pass or you fail. Ironic but yes. Everything else, everyone else is but variables that let you down.
I’ve never bummed for so long before. I never felt so useless before. I need something exciting. Something that makes me think. Something that keeps my brain juices moving. I need a challenge. I want to improve the way things are done. I hate routines and this is not what I expected it to be. I felt cheated.
You know what they say about things always happening at the same time? Well… for those who know, I’ve been ‘infected’, ‘crippled’, ‘brain dead’, soon-to-be ‘toothless’ for the past month and I HATED IT! It is not my fault when someone transmits some viruses to me, in turn attacks my poor eye transforming it into a golf ball, disrupting my vision or when I sprain my knee and ankle, after injuring myself at work, having it look like a parallel trunk and not being able to walk or when I have to fix my teeth, having major surgery on each of my four wisdom teeth, extracting four perfectly healthy ones and on top of it, spending thousands on it just to make it look straight.
Shit happens. I know. You think I want to be absent all these while? In my entire life, I have never taken any MC or missed any lessons. So who are you to say what you said? I do not need sarcastic remarks or creatures lurking around and talking behind my back, trying to put me down. Now that I’ve ‘started’, seems like there are a lot of… shit happening together.
I’m determined to stay and prove my worth. I do not like to give up. It is so not me. But is it worth it? All the talk about being small and having the advantages of being more understanding, more caring, an open door policy, blah blah blah… I think it is bullshit. ‘Nuff said.
On a lighter note, I like the boss. He is so inspiring. I feel so much whenever he gives a speech. I am so happy I finally get to meet him. Sometimes, things just don’t go the way you want it to be. I chose this path, so I have to accept and manage my own expectations.
Learning to adapt is what I’m good at.
SMU Commencement 2009
SMU’s learning culture shapes students into well-rounded individuals with deep knowledge in areas of specialization, coupled with a curiosity to continue to learn, a broad outlook and a desire to make a positive difference in the world.
I have learnt to take risks, dared to fail and learnt to succeed with grace. With that, I have grown and matured into an individual who will seize the initiative, assume the obligations of leadership, and take responsibility for the things I do.
After four long years and countless of late nights, I have made it through!
Did I mention that I was the happiest girl that day? It has been so long… *smiles*
Happy Graduation! :*)
I am. Are you?
