Ranting.....

I was running and listening to the radio just now when I was stopped by a middle-aged woman at the bus stop. She spoke in Mandarin and asked whether I was staying around here. And then..... she asked whether I want to lose weight and started to take something out of her bag.. I said no and continue my run..
What the...??!!

And what's with all these programs getting people to lose weight? Mediacorp has been coming up with programs sponsored by Jean Yip, Expressions, Mary Chia and what not, that invites real women to show the whole of
Singapore their cellulite and thunder thighs, and go through the whole exercise regime, dieting and fat-busting treatments at the beauty salons. Then, they had Project Slim ( which I went auditioning for.. so sue me.. =P) and Villa Wellness. Now, there's this program on Channel News Asia called Obesity Olympics featuring obese families going through hell to lose weight, so that they can... get this.. run a mile-long race or some crap like that at some sports event in the US.
HUH?? Why??
