Chatted up by strangers

Krystal — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:00:59 +0000

A few days ago I was on the train home from a friend’s birthday weekend and this boy (he looked about 14) sat opposite me and said Hi. I was pretty shocked because normally people don’t say hi to strangers on the train. Then he asked me where I was heading to. I answered him with the station name. He then asked for my age. I said “22″ then he didn’t say anything else after that. Either I took super young for my age or he look mega young for his. He wasn’t exactly attractive either. He was pretty large and ginger and spotty xD

Last year at my work Christmas party I got chatted up by a complete stranger. My friend & I wanted to grab some food so we headed to the cloakroom to get our jacket. This random guy came up to me and started chatting to me. I can’t remember exactly what he said to me but it was along the topic of me being oriental and how he think oriental girls are really cool. He kept following me to the cloakroom and talking to me. I responded really coldly and tried to walk away but he didn’t get the idea. Luckily my friend was there (and also a guy) so I quickly grabbed his arm. Cleverly he knew what I wanted and quickly said “Are you ok honey?”. That stranger got the idea (finally) and apologised to my friend.

Have you ever experienced random strangers chatting you up?

How did you/do you deal with them (if you’re not interested)?

Ideal body figure

Krystal — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:16:20 +0000

I’ve never really been happy with my body figure (though most girls aren’t). Like most girls I hope to be thinner, flat stomach and toned looking.

I am pretty slim but I do have a stomach (a pretty big one too) and pretty fat thighs. For years and years I’ve wanted a flat stomach and thinner thighs but never done anything about it. I tried dieting but I usually give up or they don’t really work for me.

After sometime I learnt from a friend who’s sort of a body builder that the only way to get a flat stomach is to exercise regularly. Off course eating healthy is also extremely important. He taught me that by toning up, I will appear thinner than someone of the same weight but isn’t toned. My mum regularly attends an aerobics class and her teacher told her the same thing.

I learnt that information a while ago but was way too lazy to attend the gym often. Recently I’ve decided to attend the gym regularly (at least 3 times a week). I also started doing more weights then usual. After 2 weeks I’ve already noticed a small difference. My weight is about the same but my legs do look thinner.

I also learnt that muscles will burn more calories therefore it is important to have a lot of muscles so you will burn fat faster. Doing weights (or using the tone machines at the gym) will help you to build muscles.

Hopefully I’ll be able to keep this up for more than a month and off course I hope to archive the body figure that I want.

I should also start measuring my body parts! I think that I look thinner but I haven’t measured anything so I don’t really know if it has really improved or my brain is just lying to me.

My PC was ill for a few days

Last week I came home after work and my PC won’t boot up. Only the fan turned on and it didn’t actually boot. Luckily I still have insurance on it (I extended it last summer) which has on site support meaning I don’t need to send my PC off. They send someone on Friday to fix it. The guy on the phone told me that they’re not sure which part is broken so they’re going to try and error. If they can’t fix it that way then they’ll have to take it to the manufactures and get it checked out there.

The guy replaced the graphic card and it booted up. I was so lucky because I don’t want them to take my PC as it will take about 7-10 working days to get it back to me.

I thought I wasn’t going to be take to cope with my PC but I managed. It was weekday after all so I was at work most of the time & I had my iPhone so I could still check Facebook and log on MSN. It was broken over the weekend then I’ll be really screwed. I definitely won’t be able to cope a whole weekend with no PC.

I’ll be releasing another set of necklaces this week. I took the photos yesterday so I’ll be working out the prices these next few days.

Time to move on

Krystal — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 08:07:20 +0000

You may have noticed that I haven’t been active on the blogging world as much as I was before. I’ve been having a few real life issues. I recently spilt up with my boyfriend of 7 years. I met him when I was 15 years old but we didn’t date till I was almost 16. We’ve had a few break ups in the past and each time we would end up getting back. I was the one that broke us up each time, with the same reason. This time it isn’t any different.

He was a wonderful boyfriend and I was extremely lucky to have met him. He taught me a lot about life, protected me all these years and grew up together with me. I know he still really loves me and wish for us to be together forever, however I won’t be able to fulfil his wish. I’m just not the right girl for him. I sincerely wish him the best of luck with his life and find the right girl.

I will need to carry on with my life. I have many things I want to do, and now that my weekends are all going to be free I can attempt all those things. These include a few online related things I’m going to do:

Blog more often
Return all these comment that’s been piling up
Blog hop and visit my friend’s blogs that I haven’t visited in a while
Release some more necklaces to my store

I’m going to be adding more necklaces to my store as a few are already sold out. I haven’t updated it for almost a month now. I am expecting new stock of crystals next week so I’m really exited about that. I will try my best to release new pieces at least twice a month. I’ll love to hear your thoughts and suggestion about my store and what sort of styles you’ll like to see in the future
