Confessions of a Cereal Killer

Dear Nobody,

It’s just unbelievable, how some people can excel in everything. I’m sure everyone has met the All-Rounder. you know, the good-looking person who is good in person, studies, sports, music, socializing, leadership, bed and…well, everything that a human can be good at.

Now i won’t even bother to hide my lack of self-esteem in this matter. Really, a person can be forgiven for having low self-confidence after hearing stories about these ’supermen/women’. Just yesterday my mom was telling me about her friend’s daughter, who just excels in every single thing she does. When she does swimming, she ends up representing the zone. When she does acting, she ends up acting in international plays (i refuse to specify which one lest anybody finds out and contributes to her fame). And she gets straight As, AND she’s HOT!

How unfair is that?* They say that everyone has their own strenghts. Well, it seems that mine lies in complaining and displaying my weaknesses. It’s not even a useful skill, and speaking of which, i have just realized that this blog is all wrong! This is supposed to be a look-how-awesome-my-life-is blog, not i’m-boring-and-have-low-self-esteem. Now that i recall, i haven’t even mentioned about going to the Heineken Thirst rave party, or talk about ‘freaks’ who try to contact me cause i’m hot and pretending that i’m scared but actually i’m vain and flattered. I think it’s because…well, none of that has been happening lately. Fine, now i admit i’m a total loser and am completely bored (and/or boring).

Oh, but I’m sure something is bound to happen soon, and everyone (if anyone- besides my only fan: Mr Yuan Wu) who reads this is going to be dead jealous!

Back to the topic: well, i know that i’m not all that useless. I thought that i was kinda hot and smart too, actually. (Yes, gag all you want- you who are living in denial) Unfortunately, it’s not all that true, as i soon found out. I was once out with a very beautiful friend, and, well, i thought i was up to her standard of beauty. So we’re shopping in Esprit, and this talent scout comes up to us and says, ‘are you interested in doing TV commercials, part-time?’ And me, I stupidly asked - ‘you mean, the both of us, or what?’, and she bluntly said ’she’ while pointing to my friend. Words cannot describe how i felt- i think i felt 19 times smaller than my already diminutive stature.

Yes, yes, i know, serve me right for being so full of myself. But, seriously- me, i don’t watch TV because i can stare in the mirror. But what about other people who have no choice but to watch TV? It would be doing them a great service if they picked me to appear in TV commercials.

Well, anyway, confidence or no confidence, i know when i’m feeling down in the dumps, it’s back to the old standby- there’s always someone out there worse than me! haha! Yes, that mysterious interesting girl that only my friends will know. Definitely worse than me. heheh.

The Jealous One: Signing off- peace out, losers!

*insert huge quantities of jealousy here
