| | Well, it took me quite some time to decide who I should give the Escada's Incredible Me perfume set to but I've finally made my decision. And the wonderful thing is, I have an extra bottle of 50ml Incredible Me perfume to give out, so 2 people can feel and smell incredible after this!! 
I based my decision on the lessons that their incredible moments have taught them. By sharing it here with us, it might help teach us a thing or two.
So the winning story is...... Poh Lin's story
Growing up, i have always been horizontally-challenged (read: fat). I was this shy, ugly and insecure girl because the society I live in, see pretty as being tall, thin....and skinny. So when i finally got myself a boyfriend, the happiness was short-lived. He dumped me for another girl. He was embarassed to be seen in public with the chubby me. I was furious! and for the first time in my life i defended myself. I slapped him with all my heart and told him that he did not deserve ME! That life is more than just having killer legs, supermodel looks, a 25 inches waist, or be pencil 2B thin! It is what we make of it and who we are inside that matters the most!
Saying just that was INCREDIBLE!! I felt INCREDIBLE! not because i used violence against him, but because for the first time i truly believed and meant every word i say. =)
It's easy to just say things but it's harder to believe and really mean it! I totally understand the society stereotypes and the pressures of looking like the cookie-cutter 'beauty'. I love that you are comfortable in your own skin, because that is the characteristic of an 'Incredible Me' woman. And I applaud you for being brave enough to stand up for yourself. I've highlighted the lesson I thought everyone should learn from this little story. There is really more to life than what's physical. Good guys do not always finish last and I believe there's always something beautiful in everyone. Poh Lin, I believe you'll find a guy who will treat you like you deserve eventually. You just have to keep your heart and your eyes open. All the best girl!! An Escada Incredible Me Perfume set will be sent off to you soon. Enjoy!
And the winner of the 50ml 'Incredible Me' perfume is missyjoliciouz!!
I quit studying a course in a well known university just to pursue my passion in law. But people around me had been telling me what a huge mistake i made because law isn't an easy course. Relatives and friends didn't support me and i felt the lowest at that time. To make matter worst, I was two years older than my new classmates and since i didnt have any foundation in that subject, i was quite blur about everything at first. A lot of people looked down at me and it was really sad and tough to deal with so much at that time.. I guess the time i felt most Incredible was during the first semester results itself. Managed to get into the dean list and i guess i finally being able to make my parents proud once again =)
I know a lot of people who are forced into studying courses which they have no interest in at all. Even if they do well academically, they are not happy working in the field which they've studied in. I know sometimes it might seem like the world is against you studying whatever you want, may it be your parents wishes, or monetary reasons, but, be steadfast with your decisions and follow your heart. I know the pressure to do well intensifies if you're doing something which no one believes you'll be able to do, but keep at it and you'll be able to succeed on your own terms. Live the life YOU want to live! We only have this one life and it's short! Missy, future lawyer, all the best to you and your incredible life! A bottle of perfume will be on its way to you soon!!

Thank you so much to.....
Kim, who came a close 3rd with her story of standing up for her best friend.
w3nst3r for being such a strong and independent person - you really inspire me to live a less sheltered life and start discovering the real world.
joycezhi, you made me tear up with your story and there's nothing better than to make someone else happy, more so a stranger.
eeping, you're such a strong girl and your parents must be really proud to have such a great girl as their daughter. Keep up the good work both in your studies and in sports! You'll be something big next time, trust me!
Yerdeh, thanks for being an avid reader and always leaving me encouraging comments!
su ling, hope you're recovering well and don't ever do that to your body again. I know it's cliche to say it but if you don't love yourself nobody will be able to love the real you.
mikeboyz, felicia, myfirstlovewillbeyou, Wendy and Kimmy, thank you all so much for taking time out to share you stories with us. Continue on doing incredible things and the world will be a nicer place to live in!
Ok guys, this will be my last post on this blog. I won't stop blogging altogether though, you'll find me at another web space soon. Will keep you guys informed in due time. For those of you who wish to jump off the ride at this point, well, I wish you all the best and thank you sharing my life's journey with me thus far. I hope my life stories have somehow inspired you or made you happy even for just a while. Thank you also to the people at Xanga for providing me with this nook over the last 4 years where I've managed to document life's ups and downs. And to all the haters, well, you just have to keep on hating because I won't stop what I'm doing now for a long time more!  Love you all!!!
Hugs and Kisses  Bel
