Random Suet
Post full of random shits begins…now!
1. I’m going to be away from tomorrow till this weekend with no internet access so here’s a looong entry from me before I leave. This entry will be so long that at the end of it, you’d have forgotten whatever you were doing before this.
In my attempt to make this entry longer, I shall keep pressing enter.
Like this.
Or this.
I think you get my point.
My point is I’m trying to be funny.
Which might not be working..oh well.
Anyway,
I’m still at it. wtf
Ok anyway, here are some random things I thought of lately. I was talking/bitching/moaning (in a whiny way not in a sexual way wtf WTF)/ complaining to Barry about my period the other day. Then, I came to an awfully smart conclusion that startled both of us so much that I shall write about my smart revelation here.
A woman gets her period when she is about 12. She probably stops menstruating around say..55.
I will do this in simple math so I won’t confuse anyone. 55-12= 43 years
She probably gets her period every month, and for a duration of 4 days. That’s 12×4= 48 days a year
43 years x 48 days= 2064 days in her lifetime
So basically she spends a little over 5 YEARS with blood flowing out of her body in her lifetime. wow.
Ok so when she has her period, she probably needs to change her pad twice a day. 2064 x 2= 4128 pads
1 pack of 50 pads costs about RM20 (if you get those big value pack ones) so 4128 pads= RM1651
So let’s round that up to include incidentals where you accidentally get your period earlier so you have to get those small pack of 6 which costs more, days when you think you got your period so you open a pad but then you actually don’t have your period so you have to throw the pad away, days when you rip open a pad thinking it’s the long one but actually it’s the short one so you’d have to throw the long one away, days when you kindly give a friend who got her period a pad, yadda yadda you get my point.
So in her lifetime, one woman spends at least RM2000 on pads. And this is a huge necessity she can never go without. 3 women in my house, RM6000. Just like that. And I only counted 4 days when some women get their period for a longer duration that that.
Conclusion is, making pads make big bucks! Hooray!
After I made all these calculations and conclusion, Barry didn’t even make a sound. He was so startled by my clever revelation that I had to say ‘earth to barry’ wtf (or maybe he just fell asleep wtf)
2.
because i like to take pictures of myself. is that wrong? is that a crime? so why are you looking at me like that? huh? ‘yer so vain one’ i can hear you say. so what huh! i was bored and lonely and i had my makeup and hair done cause i went out so i felt good about myself that’s why i took pictures is that too much to ask for wtf ok ignore me i’m sorta pmsing. (pms, nurture or nature?)
3.
the upper lake! i took this with my phone hence the bad quality. i mean it’s not bad..but not very good either.
leaves on the ground
so prettyyyy i can never have enough of fall!
sigh and all this will be gone in a few weeks
finally wore your scarf, su ann! it’s so comfy and warm and i love it!
4. I’m going to NYC tomorrow I’m so excitedddd! Except the fact that I have two exams after this weekend, everything is perfect! I’m going to meet my boyfriend at night, and go shopping with Carol and Su Ann in the day! And maybe some Malaysian food in between <3 and lots of gossiping and malaysian accent and giggling and cuddling and love and *heart melts
5. No this post is not ending yet! *cracks head to think of what to write
oh oh do you wanna know what I really wanna get??
isn’t this the prettiest pair of boots you have ever seen?? so prettyyy! I want them in beige but they’re so expensive =( Do you know if they have something like this for cheap anywhere?
6. *serious mode on*
Last weekend I felt so so miserable. I don’t know why but I was seriously depressed. I felt like what I felt here,(read it! it’s quite depressing) except that it wasn’t winter and I haven’t got the winter blues. But the thing is, I don’t know why I felt that way! The only problems I had were the lack of friends here (which is not really a big deal..) and how demotivated I was with studying (which happens all the time so it’s not a big deal too)
I felt terrible. I couldn’t do any work, I didn’t feel like doing anything or talking to anyone and I was in the dumps for the two days. The first night when I was depressed, I laid on my bed with the heater blowing on my face and turned on some emo songs and cried (yeah it was a pathetic scene but i was feeling pathetic so don’t judge me wtf). I cried not because I was really thaaat upset but just because I felt like it. I felt better for that day but became depressed again the next day.
you know what I finally did? I put on my running shoes, a sports jacket, tied all my hair back and went for a run.
I haven’t been exercising a lot lately..could this be the cause of me feeling depressed? Cause I dunno maybe my body wasn’t feeling healthy that’s why I felt drained emotionally too. Anyway back to my run. I am super scared of the cold and the dark, and it was crazy cold and dark outside. It was fall break and almost nobody was on campus, especially not walking in the cold and dark.
I don’t know what made me do it, but I ran and ran till my lungs hurt so much.
Then, I came back with my lungs and legs all burnt out, and did my laundry. That was so random but when I put in my dirty clothes into the machine, I imagined putting all my depression/moodiness/self into the machine as well to be cleaned.
And I felt better after that =D
Not that I became more productive though sigh =(
Anyway the moral of the story is (wtf), if you feel depressed/sad and you don’t want to talk to anyone, find something that you’ve been wanting to do and just fuck life and do it. Put your fears and laziness aside (in my case) and don’t just keep sitting there feeling all sorry for yourself. It took me 48 hours to realize that sitting there feeling depressed wasn’t gonna help.

me feeling all better! Oh I curled my hair with my straightener! Although you probably can’t see the curls much here.
8. That’s all! Don’t fight while I’m gone byeee

have a great weekend in NYC :))
depression is really random la - takes one small thing to set it off. though i figured i know how to handle it better these days
depression kicks in whenever we allows them… me myself also trying to chill as much as i can… hugs!
it’s so true what you said about big bucks from making pads. pads are so expensive, and girls need them every month. and the pain that comes with having period just makes it all even worse. but i’ll let you in on a secret. *i’m taking the Pill to skip my period* it’s the best thing ever. my period pain was so bad that my doc recommended taking the Pill to skip my period. now i only get it once in 3 months! awesome. and i can coordinate so that i won’t have my period when i’m on holiday. hehe.
it’s really great that you managed to handle your depression. i should try exercising too sometime since i’m so inactive lol.
Ya, long post for long weekend without u. Cut ur long post into 3 parts, digest each part each day until u balik, then will make me feel u there always…lolz
Can’t wait ur NYC post ! Have a wonderful weekend =)
p/s: ur chin so “tajam” !
Apparently there’s an environmental (and wallet) friendly alternative to regular sanitary pads - cloth pads! You can wash and reuse them for up to a few years! But seriously, so damn disgusting I don’t see who would want to use those lor….
Good job with the straightener! Damn nice the curls
I like your hair color, what color is it?
i jog for hours whenever i’m emo and feel much much better after that
you’re so right, sitting there doesn’t help. have a great weekend ya!!!
:)that sounds like some super advice….. i get moments like that too, way more than comfortable -__- but the upside of it is, i think, in those times i’m forced to face myself squarely and learn who i am beneath it all….bit by bit…..
hmmm i went back and read that post you do exercise your poetic license really well in those moments….. will enjoy digging up your archives indeed
hey i think your hp’s cam is not bad la.by the way what is the brand of the shoes?how much?

Hahaha see? This is why I enjoy reading ur blog…who would go n figure out how much women are spending on pads LOL!
Haf a good trip! *winks*
weird. only change your pad twice a day?! thats 1 pad for 12 hrs!!
ewwwww
usually it is advise to change every 4-5 hrs like that. so should come to about 4-5 pad each day leh…
how about if you get ur period every 20 days and have it for 9 days at a time wtf T________T
1. WOW, impressive calculation!
2. To my definition, vanity = boost of self esteem….
So, VAnity rox!!!!!
3. I love the view of “cornflakes” all over the roads & streets during autumn… (^.^)
4. May you enjoy NY trip & throw all your depression/sadness away/behind/beneath…. BLUEK (>A<)
That’s actually the physiological explanation why it’s less risky for women to lose blood, say in an accident or a terrifyingly kinky sex play, than men. The female organism is adapted to react better if there’s loss of blood. Hell, during birth it’s normal to lose like 300-400ml of blood - That’s almost 2 glasses weh.
And what the hell, you didn’t kira the absence of menstruation during pregnancy and after childbirth! That’s 48 weeks ~ 12 months without menstruation per kid. And with the average of 4 kids per Malaysian family [I know, Chinese have only an average of 2 kids but Malays breed faster and more often than rabbits, so there's that.] That’s like 48 months without menstruation. That’s RM 120, if one pad is 40 sen, or 6 tins of Danish Butter Cookies! This one also if not breastfeeding. Since, the recommended period of breastfeeding is like 9 months, and while breastfeeding, the likelihood of your period returning is less. Quite a lot save weh!
ObGyn cycle just finished wtf.
I’m such a nerd.
Ask GB to buy something for me from NY.
hallo me is back! but me didn’t get anything for you, let alone anything for meself. suck lah didn’t have time to do any shopping! and i was looking forward to f21 and the h&m flagship and urban outfitters sale and uniqlo cis cis
bye Suet and enjoy NYC!
wah your period and pads story reminds me of haruki murakami’s norwegian wood. rmb the part where the girl was telling the guy about why the smoke was coming out from her school. it was cuz they were burning up all the used pads or something, eeeeeee.
and totally agree with you, running’s a good escape.
I LOVEEEE norwegian wood! its my ultimate fav book! yeap i remember tht part =)
fall’s my fav season of all.
still think that the wind up bird chronicles is the best among all of murakami’s books. heh.
I second this ! and Kafka on the Shore
i don’t second all this!! norwegian wood wins hands down!!!! then it’s hardboiled wonderland and the end of the world. wind up bird chronicles didn’t really capture my interest that much. and i’ve been wanting to read kafka for ages now!
i had a headache from your period calculations wtf
and damn are you pretty wtf *wriggle eyebrows
enjoy yourself in new york it sounds like soooo much fun /boo
