Genie in a Bottle and The Search for Perfection

I was having a conversation with John and I asked him, if he had 3 wishes, what will he wish for?

He said that he will wish for:-

1. Good health for him and his family.
2. To be wiser
3. and three more wishes.. hahahahah.. but if can't, wealth

I will wish for:-

1. To be extremely rich.
   
2. Good health for me, loved ones and friends.
   
3. Perfect body, according to my measurements.

Hehe.. I know the list is pretty materialistic and shallow. But but... wealth.. who doesn't want it? and also.. a perfect body.. is what every woman wants. Has been my dream since young.

Back to the topic of the search of perfection by women... Famous Singaporean Blogger, Xia Xue went for a nose job sponsored by a Famous Plastic Surgeon in Singapore. Talk about the search for perfection.... Will you go under the knife to be perfect? Botox? Nose job? Boob job? Liposuction? Reshape your jaw? Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!!!

Have you watch the show, Extreme Makeover? or the Swan? How painful. How extreme. Women can really do anything for the sake of BEAUTY. Why? Due to shallow people. Due to society's perception of BEAUTY. They just want to be accepted. Sigh.

I think I'm quite traditional in this sense. I'm not really open to plastic surgeries... unless it is done due to accidents or fire.. But at the very least.. I can accept.. eyelid surgery and liposuction. From a single eyelid to become double eyelid. A lot of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans do that. It's quite common. Liposuction is to reduce fat.. but doesn't change your face much.. ok, maybe I'm bias. Liposuction is painful. But for example, reshaping your jaw... isn't it EXTREMELY painful? The jaw bone will need to be smashed.. and a new plastic one insert.. yucks! Isn't it not who you really are?

At the end of the day, you can't recognize yourself anymore. Do you really despise your own looks that much? There's this pageant in China.. girls who had plastic surgeries.. competing for their newly acquired beauty. Sigh. Miss Plastic.

Everyone out there, be proud of who you are! I think make ups and clothes.. really can help a person's image. Anyway, just love yourself and as long as you are happy, I think, it's all right. I need to open up. I shall learn to accept people who choose to go for boob jobs, nose jobs, and whatever kind of surgery. At least.. they have the courage to face it. At least, they are really trying to achieve their dream. Here, I shall wish you all the best! Just... don't get addicted to it...
