I wish I could always write happy posts but no. This will be a depressing post since I feel so depressed now.
In the last month I spent in the US, I was depressed coz I had no job, no money and the thought of coming back to Malaysia was making me so sad.
And now that I'm just sitting here, unemployed for the 3rd month now, thinking bout my bf who is all the way on the other side of the globe celebrating his birthday without me, I feel so depressed again.
To my family don't get me wrong, I enjoy your company but I just don't want to live here. Someone get me out of here. 2010 is gonna be a long year :(
Getting food poisoning for the second time this week (and possibly the fourth time since I moved back here) doesn't help either
My window
You can see out the window when you're trying so hard to fall asleep. You keep looking outside trying to see if there is someone out there. You keep looking to see if there's someone watching you out there.
So far nothing was out there except for a few felines. And you know if you see something out there you will be terrified.So why do you keep looking?

Food Inc Review
I just saw the movie Food Inc today and I loved it! I guess by now a lot of people know that I believe in animal rights and that people should reduce meat consumption to a minimum.
The movie explains just why we should. You will see in the movie that these animal farms are more like factories. That's why they are called farm factories. I am not sure how bad the condition is in Malaysia but I doubt that the animals live luxurious lives either. Just yesterday, my sister told me that it only takes about 30 days to grow a chicken for it's meat("ayam daging"). According to the movie it's more like 40++ days.
The problem with this is that the chicken has been engineered to have bigger chest to fulfill the demand for white and lean meat. Their chest gets so big so fast that their legs can't even support their body. As a result, the chicken would only be able to take a few steps at a time. It is very sad to watch.
I am not saying that we cannot eat meat at all. It's just that I believe that the animals deserve a better life before they are killed for human consumption.
The movie is pretty long for a documentary like movie. I have to admit that I lost my focus towards the end of the movie but it's still worth watching. You will realize how far removed me are from the foods we eat. It'll make you feel like you want to just grow some vegetable and raise some chicken just so you know where your food is coming from.
p/s: If anyone wants to borrow the movie from me, I'll be glad to lend it to you. It's a very good copy despite being *clears throat*. You know what I mean.

What a weekend
It was a full house on Friday when my sister and her family came back for the weekend and my other sister's boyfriend slept over. Then on Saturday night, we decided to have a bbq. I also made some yummy yummy blondies that had white chocolate and peanut butter in it.
Here's the recipe if you feel like making it.
And I joined a charity run this morning. It was a 7km run. I survived the run and I got number 25 for my category.I'm pretty sure some of the ladies who beat me were pretty old. Well, it felt good to finish the run and I'm happy that I won a usb drive.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD...my baby is gonna be here soon! really soon :D

That was close
I was called for the third round of interview at Loreal. Today I thought I should check if Loreal does animal testing. Straight to the PETA website to check the list of cosmetic companies that test on animals and there they were.
They are working towards being cruelty free but as of now they are still testing on animals! Until then, I definitely don't want to work for them.
I am bummed that they do animal testing.
I am bummed that sometimes I forget about this issue when I am so excited about buying makeup.
I am bummed that I got so excited about the job that I almost wanted to work for a company that blinds, kills and tortures thousands of animals every year just so they can say "because you're worth it".
Truth is no one is worth the lives of the animals.

Constant Stimulation
Do you ever feel like you are always multitasking? When you watch tv, you feel that it's a waste of time unless you do something else on your computer too(which could also be a waste of time)?
But if you waste your time on two things, it's not a waste of time? Or is that like double wasting? I need to figure this out and come up with some equations.
The truth is, I get nothing done even though I clain that I am multitasking. As I am writing this post, I have been visiting at least 10 other websites. I must focus! Or just chill out and watch tv.
