Not a fan of social media at this time of the year

For the last one week I keep seeing photos of people attending Halloween-themed parties or posting photos with Halloween filters.
Sorry I don’t get it.
Halloween.
What’s so special about looking gory? Of course there are people who use this opportunity to dress slutty...
I just don’t get it. Is it cool or nice to paint your face white and then smudge lipstick all over??
Or dress up as popcorns or weird characters..? Huh????
Ijustdontgetit. I’m so bored of these appearing on my Instagram and Facebook. Cannot wait for this time to be over.

Act Now, Idiots!

What a damning report on the state of the environment.

Save water - do you think no energy goes into purifying water?
Save energy - why use the air-con when you don’t need it?
Save fuel - take public transportation.
Save paper - something we do carelessly use and throw takes so much to produce.
Reduce plastic waste - why recycle when you can reduce? China is no longer taking in the world’s plastic to recycle. Your government will soon, like the US, be unable to deal with all the plastic waste and end up incinerating them like regular trash.

Let’s encourage our family members to use their own refillable water bottles when going out instead of buying bottled water. Discourage the use of plastic bags. Bring your own food container when taking away (I applaud BP folks when it comes to this! They truly deserve a pat on their back!).

Re-use plastic bags.

Also, if you know a supermarket is giving out shitty plastic bags (looking at you AEON), bring your own recycle bag especially for things which has sharp corners (eg cereal boxes) that’ll tear the plastic bag. You know that bag can never be re-used again, even as a trash bag. So why bother taking it?

Simple tasks have become so hard. Clipping my toe nails require some kind of acrobatic effort. Even roaming about Orchard Road is an ordeal now. My toes have become pretty dexterous as bending down to pick up things is pretty arduous too. Even sleeping is hard, having to be like an Indian roti flipping about to ease aches on different sides of the body throughout the night. When Markus is at work I literally lie on and cover all corners and sides of the bed. 

These are trying times

I swear.

I cannot take the bloody tantrums. Not when I am dealing with all those hormones myself.
