Yirong Wonders @ My Fat Pocket

rong is proud to be a woman!

yirong — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:18:39 +0000

5 reasons why i am proud to be a woman!

1. definitely gonna be this: women suffer for 9 months and bear all the pain to give birth! mothers are the greatest people!

2. women are seem to be soft but the truth is, women can handle stress better! we cry easily but crying helps relieve stress~ which is linked to my 3rd point below

3. women dont have strange ego to uphold - thats why we can be soft and cry when we are stressed/unhappy, showing our true emotions instead of letting them bottle neck till explosion!

4. women have the rights to get pampered! yay~ not the most impt but favourite! hehe~

5. women look good easily! or at least much easier than men. there’s a saying ‘there is no ugly women but lazy women’, we have all the tools in the world to doll ourselves up even if we are not blessed with looks to kill~

it is INTERNATIONAL WOMEN MONTH this month and the international women day falls on 8th march every year. wanna know more? check this out~ (click on the image below)

women have the rights to rely on men right! hehe~
its great to be a woman~

here i wanna wish all my readers in advance
happy valentine’s day

it doesnt even need to be a physical object
it could be just some private sweet moments together
or a meal you prepare specially for him/her!
visit the LOVE COLUMN to see if you can draw any idea from? =P

we have a contributing love & sex editor
holly jean aroozoo!
she is also a freelance writer and a lifestyle blogger
and someone who never sticks to convention~
its always interesting to read her articles/blog posts

love or contentment?

yirong — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:08:38 +0000

love or contentment?
which one is more important in a relationship?
was chatting with a friend on this
actually before he brought this up
i always thought no relationship can survive without love
i thought love brings contentment
but in reality it might not always be true
sometimes you might not necessarily end up with the love of ur life
but if you are contented with each other
you can live happily ever after

maybe because i can be quite an idealist sometimes
i still think love is crucial in my own relationship
sometimes i like to show pda
but sometimes i hate to let ppl see my affection
but no matter what
if there is no love
i cant be contented haha
been thinking about the love or contentment question aff the conversation
and i came to a conclusion
just be happy can already la!
who cares about whether it is love or contentment
right? =)

bits and pieces
i am hearing from other ppl’s experiences
i guess thats why i love to talk to ppl older or much older than me
their life experiences are invaluable
even if i do not totally agree with their versions of lessons learnt
their experiences are really eye openers sometimes

i have to say work life really widens my horizon
not only in terms of work
in terms of social life too
ppl are not as innocent and naive as they seem to be
and older guys, they talk abt everyth openly

there are many different sides of me
i guess i chose which side to open to who
i guess each of my colleague knows a different me
and their versions can be quite far apart
but nonetheless they are all me
and some who thought that they know me well
i am actually quite far from what they thought
still back to the same point
maybe they just know a different side of me

i have colleagues who think that i am such a party animal
or an alcoholic
but i guess i dun actually drink enough to be an alcoholic
i haven even been to butter factory or the alr closed down m.o.s. before
i dunno why i always give ppl this impression

i have colleague who thinks that i am a flirt and a bi-sexual
just because i am friendly to everyone, guys and girls
but i think thats cos i am a cheerleader =)

i have colleagues who think that i am over conservative
and trying to open my minds to accept unconventional concepts
and help open my eyes to see what the world actually is
true there are lots of things that i might not know
but i am actually quite receptive to new things
the set of conservative rules only apply to myself
partly cos i am too stubborn

all of the above sounds quite different eh?
sometimes i am extremely careful not wanting to let others know me
especially people i am working with
but sometimes somehow i let my guard down and exposed myself
i guess these are the two different sides of me as well
reserved and open

i realized the longer i have been around
the more sides of mine are exposed to myself
i guess there is maybe just one side of ourselves
that is we have different interactions with different ppl
thats how we react naturally
not trying to hide any side on purpose
just the way of getting along with each individual is different

haha been quite stressed recently
i just dunno where to start from
for everything
a very heavy burden on my shoulders
just hope everything gonna be okay haha
doing things that are beyond my limits
yeah cant deny its a good learning experience
so just take it and try to do my best la
i have so many people around me willing to help me
things will go fine have faith!

smart and savvy financially!

yirong — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 05:31:04 +0000

i used to think that financial consultants are just out there to cheat your money
as i get older
especially after i started working
and some of my friends went into this line
i realized it is actually so much more than what i thought
its true that some friends became really irritating after they became financial consultants
i think many of you would have agreed with me haha
those ‘friends’ who kept pestering you to get plans from them
and sometimes its such a pity that friends arent really friends anymore
but some friends really sincerely wanna help in my financial planning i believe
but thats for when i have the spare money haha
been talking to some friends about financial planning but i haven had anything concrete
just casual talks
then at just the right time mfp’s editor told me about this workshop!
