I actually didnt want to blog today as today was pretty much the same as yesterday, except that I didnt go gym, I went raffles city and I didnt manage to err abstain. But a friend convinced me otherwise, saying that my blog is one thing that she has to read everyday,awww so sweet. I am happy that people like reading my senseless ramblings...

Anyway, as mentioned, I went to Raffles city for lunch. Had my usual chocolate-nut scones which makes that 3 days in a row I had scones for lunch...wonder when I would get sick of it. I don't think that would happen anytime soon as I am not a fickle-minded person, whether in love or anything, the fact that I had a huge crush on a guy for 2 years would attest to that...errr, alright, lets not go into that, its over, its done with and best forgotten. But this brings me back to a conversation I had with a friend over physical looks. It started innocently enough, with me saying that I was more toned from the sessions in the gym(i would be devasated if i weren't), though I don't seem to be reducing physically, my abs seem more taut, as does my waist *big grin*. And we were saying that for guys to look good, they must have six packs, though I pointed out that the body is not all that matters, its the whole package. No point having the body of Brad and the face of err mark lee..oops, hope I didnt sound mean there. So we launched into a discussion of whether looks matter. And the conclusion is sadly, it does. No matter how much ppl stress on internal beauty which is super impt, its pretty much first impression which counts, to make a person decide whether that person is worth impressing anot..Of course a good looking person with an ugly internal self is nothing at all..For me, looking good is important, it feels good to have people check you out(though I dont get that often). Even at work, my boss tends to treat me nicer because I am a female, its easier to ask for favours too. But I also feel that when you first get to know a person who is not so good looking and his/her internal beauty shines out, that person would actually appear quite attractive to me..

Oh I digressed quite a bit..Hmm, back to raffles city. Ahh yes, its takes me 20mins to walk to and fro from my office, giving me only 40mins to shop. I headed straight for ig's heavens which is known for its cook stuff as I was still looking for christmas presents, and obsessed with my tumbler, which I got finally there, yay!! I spent quite a bit of time browing through all the stuff and before I knew it, I only had 10 mins left for lunch and I hadnt even decided which to buy...as I loved everything. Thus I had to leave and made a mental note to go back either tmr or fri to finish with what I left off. As I walked past the atrium at raffles city, the tandalizing aroma of the popcorn wafting to my ever sensitive-to-food nose proved irresistable and at the price of $1.50 which was way cheaper than cinema prices..I surrendered to temptation, yet again. Ahh well, an abstemious life is not for me, I guess. I just have to rely on exercise to prevent me from expanding horizontally.
