magazines

My fren from sg recently brought a stack of magazines from singapore for me to read. Yeah!! thrashy magazines! this is exactly the kind of therapy i need when i am depressed and feeling UGLY in horse week. thanks andrea!

however, as i was flipping through the many pages of all the magazines, i suddenly was overwhemled with the number of pretty girls there are int his world. i dont know why i have never realised this when reading aussie mags. is it because i dont compare myself to the angmohs? i mena, we are so different.. but when i look at the asian mags and look at all the pretty asian girls, damn did my self esteem dip.

i know it's a silly thing to think about. but yeah.. if i feel that way, what about the many other young girls in schools in sg? they must feel a much greater need than me to doll themselves up. i feel like i need to get my braces done, that i need to prim my eyebrows, i need to buy more fashionale clothes, need to buy new make up, need to .. etc etc when i was flipping through the magz. but of course, not only are the things int he mags not available to me coz i;m here in melb, also becoz i am somewhat mature enough to have self control. gee what about the young girls in sg? i can only imgaine how horrible i would feel about myself if i were back in secondary school flipping these mags. thank goodness i was flipping thru "teenage" instead (not so much fashion, more life coach like)

but i do wana get braces done. soon..
