The Story of The Din At Swirl (Panic At The Disco girl version) "Models, now each of you have 10 shots each, the one with the most gorgeous shot will be a step closer to become Swirl's next top babe, and the one with the unglam-est shot will be eliminated and punished with icecream so she will grow FAT.(sound effects)" Result: Ta won the unglamest and the glamest. Winner's prize: This. (a.k.a showcase of pictures on Mindy Chow's blog :D)
$3 cupful of goodness - Pure Chocolate (it looked like soil:/)
PCD When I Grow Up re-make:D
Total candid shot, caught Vicky monkey businessing.
I love this spotlight-ish picture.
"Messy hair!!" = Darlene the GAP model (: Vicky= "Hello I have a circle face" - quote from Ta
Ta and I were attempting a Victoria Beckham look but I turned out like Paris Hilton and Ta like angry Tyra. (:.
Favourite group shot of the day!(:

Atheletes in MRT stations? Why? >> People want seats. They fight for what they want.
Why? >> This striking characteristic among Singaporeans is cultivated by the society; i.e. fittest survives.
Individual morals play a part but babe, blame it on society. Since young they have been exposed to such an environment in which they have to toughen up to survive (or gain themselves a comfortable seat). Say you wanna be nice. You see a sign that says "FREE 5 mins TOPSHOP GRAB AND GO FIRST COME FIRST SERVE" a group of strangers see it too. They start running. Will you stand there like a statue Jaysree? If people take it slow, stroll nicely, only then will you probably follow suit. It's called peer pressure, i believe. On a lighter note it's good to know that our people have the competitive spirit in them to fight for what they believe in, not mindless people who leave everything to fate. I agree that this kiasu trait can tone down its volume a little, but it takes the whole crowd to tone it down. But the government cannot punish these kiasu people because they are contributing to the environment by not using their personal transports. And besides, he's already putting in efforts in training us in our 2.4km runs to pioneer the next batch(us). 2.4km because it can last us during the Jurong East sprint, the Outram dash, and the City hall Great Leap Forward. It cannot be denied that these people need to learn some Chillaxing from us but till then, we can pray.
Mindy's solution: Install freaking uncomfortable seats with heaters at the base.
or
Timers to time the duration of each passenger's bench-warming. When time is up, a whacking thing starts to whack their face and legs and a pointy thing to poke their butts. (Min time 15 mins).
or
Install hollow traslucent fibre-glass seats with insects crawling inside.
Once again, Mindy has done the job of Courtis the Courteous Lion. (is that his name??), making the world a better place to live in, starting from our daily transport.
Sorry guys, I just wanted to jumpstart with an uber sweeteye candy. Wait, not just an eye candy, a MAJOR HEART THROB. ( pst if any of you guys personally know him,PLEASE don't tell him that his picture's here. I'll go tomato faceefor a week.): ) Like at Ritz when he asked Joanne Peh to askme for Balsamic Vinegar.(cus he was shy- awwh!) GOSH I couldn't move, and i have never in my life gotten an immediate fever, PLUS a terribly broken speech structure andand a flush as red as New Zealand's Fuji apples (irony intended).Anyways,I'd like bring up a new issue today, regarding a group of peopleranging from those with eating disorders to the gluttons.
To what extent do the pressures of themodern society affect our intake of food?
[INTRO PARA] #1 QTKI #2 Scope #3 Definition - define modern society as globalised #4 Lay out assumptions [CONTENT - PEEL] #5 WH technique #6 Multi perspectives #7 Fuse WH and Multi perspectives #8 ICNG - Individual, community, national, and global Great, now what? *Mind block*
{Small extent} Traditional societies also experiencing similar situations
-Natural adaptations to surroundings, fittest survive in third world countries (societal upbringing) -Biological makeup -Indicidual morals and ethics
{To a large extent} Let's talk STINGY EATING - one pole of modern societal influence Tiny disclaimer: If you're not a J1 student who takes GP and subscribes to Broader Perspectives, you might not understand 20% of the following content.
Our calorie needs are typically determined by a number of factors, including:
- Our present weight - Our height - Our age - Our gender - Our exercise routine - Our health - Our body-fat-percentage - Our environment - How fast we want to lose weight
Teenagers need about 1500-1800 calories per day
My usual intake in PJC? Vitasoy: 140kcal or Meiji strawberry yogurt: 60kcal
Club sandwich(comprising of 3 slices of wholemeal bread, 2 slices of tomatoes, lettuce, 2 slices of cheese, 2 slices of ham, butter): 288+6+8+2(82) calories
Morning milo: 305kcal
Rice at night which needs to be abolished: 242kcal (1 cup)
(Miscellenous) Hello Panda: 81kcal (big box) so small packet should be ~ 73kcal.
*Insert pictures of thin models*
You guys can go google if you wanna see, i don't wanna post it here.
Then we have the celebrities flaunting their bones in designer goods, sending the message that Skeletons in Gucci are beautiful. Hey that could be a band name.
Gluttony - The other pole of modern societal influence (extracted from B.P no plagarism intended)
Upsize There has been a global leaning towards a culture of overeating, with larger meals, richer foods, and more snacking options becoming the norm in many developed countries. Just as technology is making our lives easier, with less people needing to eke out a living through the sweat of their brows, out portion sizes have been gradually increasing. In our quest for value, portion sizes have been on the increase. Fast food servings today are now 2 to 5 times larger than what they were in the 1950s. BK has introduced 1000 calorie burgers which contain 340g of beef, the amount of meat recommended for an adult for 2 days. A cup of coffee with milk and sugar twenty years ago was roughly 45 calories and about 300ml. That Grande cafe mocha frappacino from Starbucks? That's 330 calories, for roughly half a litre of drink. Even plate sizes have increased, in the 1990s alone, increasing from 10 inches to 12 inches, with plate sizes being proven to have a direct effect on food intake. This unquenchable drive for ever-larger portions of food, especially in developed countries, is further driving up demand for food, and exhausting supplies faster than ever.
Murdered by Technology Technology has unfortunately also made it easier to feed Man's insatiable hunger, especially with the invention of machines that make the exploitation of the earth more and more effortless. Example: fishing. Detrimental effect on food chain and environment.
Battle of the Bulge On a more personal level, the detrimental effects of gluttony can be palpably seen today - increased global obesity. Obesity has been steadily rising around the world, not just among adults, but also in youths. A 2005 BBC survey reported that 1.6 billion adults and 400 million children were overweight. In England alone, the percentage of overweight children has risen from roughly 15% to about 37% from 1970 to 2005. Such a trend can only be expected however, given the circumstances described above, and we can now only brace ourselves for an increase in the illnesses, such as hypertension and heart diseases, that come with the upward trend on the weighing scale.
In all, we may have come very far in terms of man's economic, technological and social development but this has only made us greedy and unrestrained in our appetites. The signs are all too clear that our gluttony i ruining our planet and killing our health. In the words of Father Joseph Rickably (Professor of Ethics at St Mary's Hall) on the sin of gluttony, eating without limits is "too soon, too expensively, too much, too eagerly...". While we may not feel the true impact of this problem, the next generation will certainly live to see the calamitous forecasts of our future come true.

Next blog post episode: Rebuttal to Jaysree Nagararaja's MRT atheletes,
Phrase of the day: I'm stuck in your hot air balloon, just that, i'm not in the basket. XOXO
CASH, i can't believe you translated the entire post back. HAHAHHAAHHA You has clue nonetheless i laughing painful stomach. Ehy. New language, tsk.
Okiedokie overhaul's almost done. It's abit solemn. Me likey;)
Favourite paragraph of the day: Ostentatious consumerism that is fuelled by Envy usually comes without genuine appreciation, any sense of connoisseurs or consumer responsibility.
i.e.
You must really appreciate her boyfriend before stealing him I MEAN.. If you like those Topshop booties, because Sarah has them, then you're in for it.
Zebra says Meow. The myspace page damn ugly for now.): Cut super long fringe. Don't get 3 for Econs test.(or 4) No meals for a week.
I look at you in such horrific, inconspicuous, incredulous disdain (trust me, i only understand 36% of the sentence.)
hair extensions off to the last bundle baby. (: Never will i encourage ANYONE to go for them, nor will i touch them EVER again.
I cannot describe the exuberance that ran through my blood today. 40 situps, 201cm for broad jump, 47cm for sit&reach. A real standup from a fall. I stumbled while doing the shuttle run, thingamabob. but like some sort of a steroid injection my adrenaline just started pumping. Or is it just God.
I dunno. Then came the news where Mindy Chow scored the highest for Math test. (Are you friggin kidding me?) where in reality the 'highest' meant 'the only one who passed'. It's this feeling again. Like you have to rejoice that you are the only one, but on the other hand you beat yourself up because you don't hit your target. There's really nothing to brag about, world. It doesn't benefit me in any way to brag. It's just a sign on the road that says: "You can do it! 25 miles to go!"
Why would people go for boob jobs? Big boobs are so ___. I dont wanna offend anyone.
hey, why do we have to adhere/conform/comply to when we wanna celebrate certaini festivals? (i know..otherwise the occcasion will lose its significance blah blah.) But i like ):
Anyways, hogged on the phone with Cash (kaching) for 50 mins after work on fri(: I'm so dead when "Bill" arrives, i totally forgot i was calling with my handphone you know.): But it's fine with me(: At least i forgot about my paranoia of bombing the Bill for a while.
Today i wanna talk about sex.
Nooo hahahah crazy why would i?? Alright this message is out to all girls: When people ask you girls for your age, don't EVER ask them to guess. It's verrrrry annoying. Doesn't only apply to age questions, same goes for starsign and weight whatever. It's a good tip trust me. I mean, okay. Let's say you're 20. The victim guesses: 18 and you get ALL ELATED but hey, you'll never know if he's reduced his guess by 3 years to make you happy. You'll never know if he's just saying it because he thinks that's the general answer that other "victims" of yours will say.
hahah. i'm thinking too much again, sorry. (:
I really like Nylon. I really hope Chiara brings more of them to school(:
yessa super Mindy with the capey(: + Stephy + Nadisnuts Awesome audience, nice lighting, hot and stuffy, cheers and encores(: Let's do this again.
I love WFN i reeeaally reaaalllly do.
A pity Ruben's(Taahira's superman) spirits got dampened because he didn't bring his double pedal. But he still did alright! Sigh, drummers are always self beating. (sorry mrs richards for the absolute term)
Everyone loved Wank's crazy dancing, MAJOR. whoa.
Gerald was knitting at the corner.HAHAHA
Joey's forever giving that carebear face,really.
I'm biased.
econs, you con my heart. I'm itching for new clothes): Maybe i should just alter some of my old ones. (: That'll do, it's like mending part of me, i guess.
