Am I just plain insecure? People say I look good and dress well.But I feel as I am

Inching near the big 40, the women around me are getting younger...

Women do not have to feel insecure over age unless they want to have more children.

In my opinion, age is just a number. Personally, I do not care if you are in your 40s or 50s. If you eat well, exercise, maintain a good figure (subjective), take care of your skin and in your hubby's case wear VS undies then... Ooo mama!!!

It is true that looks will fade away as one ages but, to me, the fact that my wife is working hard to take care of herself is sexy enough for me to get active. :evil:

I have no idea about using olive oil for frying but…


Well in my opinion "Healthy olive oil" is pretty misleading.

I would rephrase it to "Healthier olive oil" because no matter how you see it, eating fried food, in today’s context, is never or at least rarely healthy due to the accessibility of junk food and reluctance/lack of exercise.

No matter the type of oil used, fried food is still fried food. These are food that have absorbed or are coated with liquid fats (oil) due to the process of frying (meaning extra calories and calories will turn into body fat if unused).

Of course I don't mind sharing


I'm working as full time photographer now. Ranges from lifestyle, product, food, wedding and commercial (still building up)
I'm getting in touch with video as well.

My previous job are related to audio (as producer) and video encoding. So that give me a bigger steps for my career. So my service always get in touch with audio motion and images. Cool, huh? LOL

I will say - go for what you think is right. If you have passion for it, why not! Right?
That's the only way that you can earn more money, but don't neglect the kids.

We can help each other in future. haahaa

Wow! That is great. Audio and video encoding sounds really tech savvy.

I have to agree that if you have passion for something, go for it. \"Motivation\" gets a person to start moving for what he desires but motivation dies off after a while. Then, \"Discipline\" keeps that person moving but after a while it becomes tiresome. That is where you need \"Passion\". Passion strengthens your motivation, which in turn renews your discipline.

Sure, if the opportunity arises we can help each other.

Dear parents, never ever give your child total freedom when it comes to online gaming.


I’ll share with all of you a little of my experience as a kid. Online gaming was a relatively new phenomenon back then, but I guess my experience is still relevant today.

I had been at both the TOP and the LOWEST of low of my cohort in the schools I attended. When I was in Primary School, I was considered one of the elite (EM 1). Since the start, I could only play two hours of online gaming and had to engage in two hours of self study in return (excluding homework). At this stage, I could already feel the computer’s force of attraction on me. Nevertheless, through discipline enforced by my parents, my Primary School journey was a bed of roses and i scored 257 for my PSLE.

Of course, I ended up in a decent Secondary School and in one of its top classes. Thinking that I was "big enough" to take care of myself, my parents granted me free access to the computer. Lo and behold, the beast in me was unleashed - I grew totally addicted to online gaming.

Without fail, I would indulge in online gaming everyday for up to 8 hours on weekdays and 14 hours on weekends. It was heaven. Naturally, my results declined, and this continued all the way to the preliminary examinations - for which I scored 41 for the L1R5. Yes, damned 41 and I am being dead honest here. I only took time off from gaming ONE day before the O Level examinations to "chiong sua" on my revisions. In the end, I scored 23 for my L1R5. This was a huge disappointment for me and I promised myself (and my parents) that I will "wake up my bloody idea".

So came pre-university but I was still trapped by the iron grip of my online gaming addiction. Do not misunderstand - My parents had ALWAYS been there to remind me of my studies, but their reminders and advice went unheard. My habit of last-day "chiong sua" revisions continued all the way to the A Levels. Of course, I screwed up badly but fortunately passed everything (or, rather, unfortunately because I was not allowed to repeat).

So parents, when it comes to online gaming, never ever give them total unrestricted access. I am not blaming my parents at all because they have always been there for me but I was just too weak-minded and the addiction made me rebellious. I sincerely hope we can all learn a lesson or two here.

I wish all of you the best in everything.

PS: I only got over the addiction after being employed while studying at the same time. Interest in gym and fitness helped too. I just needed to keep myself busy and away from gaming.

I myself am planning to start a food business. hehe :3


What are you doing as a freelancer? (if you don’t mind me asking)

Freelance can be extremely rewarding. I have a friend who does freelance web designing and he charges 1.2k (or more) per website


Of course, the biggest perk of freelance jobs is the freedom and you are working to make YOURSELF wealthy…

I see you - Leona Lewis

I pray in my heart that this world never ends~

hehe I am around 25-30 only. Preparing myself for parenthood. Anxious. My friend’s about 35-40 and we got to know each other in uni. Wow the age gap hahhahha and that’s when I realise that the saying "boys will always be boys" is pretty much true.


But yea man what you said about being disciplined by the law is so true. I believe your method works if done right cos that’s how my own parents discipline me when I was young. So far I have not broken the law (if you include the the SAF ‘law’).

hehehe thanks man. But kids can also be fun.


That time I go my friend’s house to study and he has a son around 7.

Wah that boy is very very naughty!!! Then he was very stubborn and don’t wanna listen to his daddy - he kept disturbing us while we’re studying. Soon he started acting very rebellious.

My friend is a very kind father and never scolds his son.

In the end I bo tahan, I tickled the boy as if I wanted to play with him. Then I hug him and keep on tickling him until he cry hahahahahha. I said "If you don’t listen to your father I won’t stop. Do you want to listen to your father?"

Then he nodded with tears in his eyes and he obediently went into his room.

10 mins later he come out and sit with us quietly reading a book. hahahhahaha My friend gave me a thumbs up.

I heard he’s giving music lessons at around the eastern area and is one of the music fellowships person. I don’t know what fellowship but I am interested to know more?
