Yay? Nay?

Yays 1. Barry got me Kafka on the Shore after I’ve blogged about it once, and went to MPH to admire and stroke it a million times wtf

Nays 1. I’m not getting my RM500 makeover from Shawn Cutler after all. That’s the peril of joining contests and getting free things :(

Yays 2. Two more weeks before I finish my internship and start my holiday for realz again!

Nays 2. This means it’s been 2 months since I came home..how time flies :(

Yays 3. I finally resolved the internal conflict within me and hopefully, things will be better from now on

Nays 3. I’ve only resolved one conflict, 1317902 more to go :(

Yays 4. I also finally came to terms with the fact that I’m not born skinny and will never be skinny and will always remain a little on the pudgy side but that’s totally okay because I’m happy with myself and that’s all that matters.

Nays 4. The line above is what I keep telling myself but it still hurts sometimes when some people think otherwise and no matter how happy I am with myself, I realize that I’m not the type of person who doesn’t care what people think :(

Yays 5. I saw my grandparents over the weekend and realized how much I’ve missed them

Nays 5. I also saw how much they’ve aged in the year I didn’t see them :(

Yays 6. I’m so glad that I get to see my boyfriend everyday and live a completely monotonous but very happy life

Nays 6. We have to start the whole 12-hours time difference thing again very soon :(

Yays 7. I’m so thankful that people like my blog, resulting in me being able to make money, resulting in me being able to finally not be so stingy.

Nays 7. However, my blog is also the source of tremendous whirlwind of emotions for me. I have to stop taking my blog so seriously but it’s hard when it’s already such a big part of my life :(

Yays 8. Malaysian food is so amazing.

Nays 8. What’s the point of me being in the center of all this amazingness when I can’t even touch any of it? Sigh why wasn’t I born skinny?

    it seems that everything happens for both good and bad reasons, but don’t give up just because of those bad effects, i’m sure the yay ones would make the whole thing more worth while.

    It’s your stingy-ness that I love the most! Nah, no matter you’re fat or thin or ugly or pretty, we will still love you! you’re too cute lah! How to NOT like you!!

    I wanted to buy Kafka on the Shore, but i have to choose between that or Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, which is a compilation of short stories, and i bought the latter one coz.. this is embarrassing, i think it’s worth to buy a lot of stories in a book, than to buy one story in a book. WAAHAHAHHAH~ i’m a stingy bastard too.. T_T

    ohmygawd *smacks*

    SUETLI YOU ARE GORGEOUS! and im not just saying it coz i love your blog and your sense of humour to bits. yes, you are not borderline-anorexic skinny billy willy but that does not mean you are NOT thin! because YOU ARE! so very pretty and you look very good in your clothes which makes pretty much everyone jealous of you, especially those people who claim otherwise about you just because they tak boleh tahan with their own ugly looks!

    trust me, you’re thin. what size do you wear? S, M, L or XL? from what i see, its either S or M. S means small, M means medium. so you’re definitely NOT large.

    im sorry if i sound rather er pushy coz im an XL and for the past years i felt horrible about my looks and it kills me to see you feel that way when you obviously are one of the prettiest girls i’ve seen. natural beauty somemore! :D

    Suet li!!!

    I’ve heard enough of skinny girls complaining that they are fat. It makes me think that girls will never be satisfied with themselves no matter how skinny they are. So Please life is too short to waste it on these concerns.

    You look great!! That’s all that matters!

    mars says:

    You’re not model-thin but you are pretty skinny!! (and pretty too). So don’t worry too much about it unless your mom starts telling you that you need to lose weight. If she doesn’t, then it probably means you are skinny enough already.

    Alternatively, wear more high heels to elongate your silhouette :)

    “The line above is what I keep telling myself but it still hurts sometimes when some people think otherwise and no matter how happy I am with myself, I realize that I’m not the type of person who doesn’t care what people think” - I feel exactly the same way about my height. T_T

    gingerbreadwoman says:

    Oh..it’s ok to be pudgy girl (i think i’m chubby too) cuz you can be chubby AND gorgeous which you definitely are!!!!!

    *i think i am too* yay yay. and my boyfriend keeps telling me that. well he doesn’t think i’m chubby lah. but it’s cool. look at..beyonce, kim kardashian..they’re “thick” and gorgeous!

    curves rock. and me loves your blog

  28. 28
    gingerbreadwoman says:

    then again.. I so think you’re not pudgy..you’ve got great height. But between convincing yourself that you’re not pudgy and convincing you that you can be pudgy and gorgeous…I chose the latter.

    haha. that’s my though process.
