With boys like these....

I was one irritated, pissed off person during my plant biology practical lesson yesterday. I might have snarled at anyone who was in the way - there just seemed to be something that pushed the wrong buttons.

I was wearing my new shoes (very nice and clean cream-coloured shoes) but the whole world was on my toes. Literally. What is it with new shoes and people stepping on them accidently? Really, almost every single person who passed me had to leave a footprint on my pretty tootsies. And the irritating thing is, they didn't even notice that they had ruined my perfectly dainty trod when I stopped each second to scrutinize my feet, checking that my shoes were still intact.

Then, our professor did a demonstration of the extraction of some chemical compounds from chinese herbs. Naturally, everyone crowded around him to get a clear view of the experimental apparatus. However,Von and I had a completely obscured view due to some tall guys who quickly formed a fort around the professor.

It was quite evident that there were some girls (obviously not as tall as them) who were tiptoe-ing and commenting that they couldn't really see. But these guys, did not so much as move aside a little so we could at least see SOMETHING. I even remember muttering quite loudly (on purpose), "wah, how are we supposed to see anything? our entire view is blocked..." This particular guy who I'm quite sure heard what I said, continued to stay rooted to the floor. Then more guys came from the other lab to take a look, and started to squeeze into the fort, pushing us further behind.

@#$!%#^@&#@@!!

What is it with such guys??!!!!

Urgh... totally put me off.

Anyway, with boys like these (where have all the good men gone?), it's indeed a blessing to be single. Here are more reasons to rejoice (quoted from CLEO):

Why it's Healthy to be Single
1. You're slimmer
A Cornell University study found that singles gained less weight over ten years than married couples did cos having a companion for meals can cause you to eat more. Singles are also more motivated to watch their weight than Marrieds.

2. You sleep and think better
According to a survey by Tylenol in the US, 60% of singles sleep more - at least 7 hours a night, which is essential for restoring your body and mind. You also get quality ZZZs cos you don't have someone disrupting your sleep with snores.

3. You're happier
When you retain control - over the remote, the bedroom-room decor, the vacation destination, even where and how you want each meal each day. That's essential since a lack of control can lead to anxiety, frustration and depression.

4. You're healthier
Singles are better at fostering female friendships but once you're married, the focus naturally shifts to your husband. According to a study of The International Journal of Behavioural Medicine, close female relationships can benefit your health by keeping blood pressure from rising and easing stress.
