RANDOM FACTS

well, i am 17 years old, aren't i?

ONE Nicole is random, like this section. TWO Even though she's been skinny half her life, she's currently getting fat, due to lack of exercise and her love of cheeeese!! THREE She's totally an Italian food person but loves some Western, Chinese zhi char, XIao Long Bao, American fast food and MIS dishes =)) FOUR Nicole likes music, really. She was so crazy over music she joined the Music Elective Programme which while was torturous, she gained something out of it. FIVE Right now, Nicole is listening to KPop (BigBang and 2NE1) while still going on about boybands, Hilary Duff and random Disney people, and obviously The Jonas Brothers. SIX Nicole is secretly pro-everything, I'm pro human rights, pro gay rights, pro cheese on hotdogs, pro we-shouldn't-have-exams-because-it-kills-trees, yup. Pro everything and pro AT everything. =D SEVEN Nicole loves her cheem sounding CCA - International and Strategic Affairs Council or ISAC for short. EIGHT But Community Service Club will always hold a special place in her heart, the volunteering spirit will always burn within Nicole!! NINE Nicole loves several teachers, namely, Mrs Koh, Ms Tan, Chen Lao Shi, Mrs Martha Tan, Ms Cheng, Mrs Chu, Mrs Susan Tan, Mrs E-von Lee, Mr Leong, Mdm Nora, Mrs Bok, Ms Ng (both), Ms Teo, Ms Aw and Mr Tiew. TEN And Nicole takes these people as her role models: Obama, Ellen Degeneres, MM Lee Kuan Yew, SM Goh Chok Tong, PM Lee Hsien Loong, Ho Ching, Elim Chew, Mr Sng, Mr Low, Mr Ng, Ms Aw, Mrs Bok, Annabel Koh, Chan Li Wen, Tan Bao Jia, Alicia Ho and Sylvia Lim. ELEVEN Nicole eats. A LOT. Ask anyone who knows her, they'll tell you how much. TWELVE Nicole sometimes wishes for nonsensical stuff like that she was a guy, or world peace, or for people to just stop hating really. THIRTEEN This is an unlucky number, so I'm not gonna put anything here! FOURTEEN Nicole has a great sense of humour and cannot stand people who don't laugh. FIFTEEN Nicole has a sense of adventure and would love to travel all over the world someday, unfortunately due to her cold phobia, she'll have to strike half the world of her list. SIXTEEN Nicole is actually still 16, but decides that since her birthday is coming soon on the 18th of December, she will fake that she's 17. SEVENTEEN
Nicole does not understand why everyone wants to remain at 17 because she desperately wants to drive and buy her dream car (Ferrari Aurea Spyder), thus she would rather remain 21 forever.

Control

11:25 PM - Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Ok, I'm gonna come right off the bat and say it here first,

DISCLAIMER: I realise that you read my blog and I realise that you're gonna recognise this particular quote, but I believe you're just the only one brave enough to say it to my face and I thank you for that, this post is in no way a display of my real feelings towards you. =)

Alright, phew, now that that's over with. Let's start shall we?

Someone commented the other day that I was "henpecked". First off, I resent that statement, shall we try a lil Lit analysis?

Henpecked has connotations of being weak, giving in all the time and basically being absolutely controlled by the other person. (I realise this has obviously definition inside, I'm sorry I'm not a very good Lit student.)

I appreciate the person being able to say this to my face, because in Ms Tan Bee Hong's famous words: A good friend is someone who can tell you straight to your face your faults and call you on them and scold you for them. So thank you.

However, I dislike that label being attached to me and I prefer to see my situation in less harsh terms. First of all, yes, I admit, I give in. However, if we look at it from another perspective, it just means knowing my limits and my ability to get my way. I'm being smart actually. I know that out of 10 times, the number of times I'll get my way is probably like 1 or 2 if I'm lucky. And the consequences of pushing these limits are wayyy not worth it. So, as long as I'm ok with it, why not try to compromise whenever I can, as long as its not compromising my values or whatever?

Secondly, stepping out of my own shoes, I can see how much of a pushover I must become when around her. Seeing as how I'm normally extremely domineering around other people and am used to getting my way. True. I do normally get my way around other people or at least I don't back down that easily. Maybe it's because I'm so much less pushy with her that I have to make up for it elsewhere? Hmm. Nah, I don't think so.

I choose to believe that it's a matter of choice. I choose to give up my domineering side when I'm around her and I choose to give in to her.

In conclusion,

She's just the only person I give up control to. That's all.
