The Power of Denial

Completed the Da Vinci Code yday afternoon, all in office hours. I thought the book was dull. But the ending was even worse. Atrocious assumptions. Lies woven to deceive the faithless.


It talked about the sacred power of feminity. In an entirely different context, women all over the world have been fighting for their rights. Some men jeered, "If you want to be equal, then pay for your own meals. Help support the family. Earn your own keep. Learn to open doors for yourself..."


Stupid assumptions. I know. Girls are not as dependent as you think. They just want to be pampered and to be loved.


I believe in equality of sexes. In the world of ours, there's no clear distinction on what's right and what's wrong. Definitions guide our beliefs, but it doesn't help us in making the right decisions. To me, equality of sexes means to be treated fairly and just.


There was this Brazilian girl, Maria, who was disappointed with the outcome of her love life. She had always dreamt of meeting a rich, dark, handsome man (all girls do mah) who would take her away from her small village, most importantly, out of poverty. Her first crush was this boy who walked the same route to school with her. One day, he approached her with this lame opening line, "Can I borrow your pencil?" She ended up running away.


Another guy left her for her friend because she didn't know she had to open her mouth while frenching. She later learnt masturbation can bring her to a new high. To her, it was even better than sex.


Events changed her life. She turned into prostitution, learning to service men. But she realised it wasn't sex per se men were looking for, but for the knowledge they could pleasure a woman. Some of them just wanted company, someone to listen to their problems.


Her destiny changed one day when she met a painter. This story was captured in a book, Eleven Minutes, by Paulo Coelho. It's not just a story about prostitution but about life. The book was aptly titled 'Eleven Minutes' because like everyone else, we go through life everyday, and end up spending only 11 minutes having sex.






Maria kept a diary, where she tried to define what is love when she didn't allow herself to. Life's full of ups and downs. We never know what would be the outcome of our decisions made today. We would never really know if the decision made today is right or wrong. Yes, we may end up celebrating life, or we sulk when it turned out to be the worst decision. But I say, let us make the most appropriate decision.


Appropriate decisions may not define what's right or wrong, but sometimes they seem to be the best option in that particular time frame, or circumstances. There are many of us who are risk-taking, some may be risk averse. It all boils down to how much do we desire that outcome. Do we dare to fight for what we want?


There are many conclusions I can draw from this post. Don't take things at face value, but think and evaluate. Eleven Minutes provide insights about life. There are so many paragraphs I would like to share, but life is not just about quotations.


We grow up, we fall, we pick ourselves up. Nature of life says we watch friends fall and disperse, loved ones would die, we end up lonely. I could have continued to dwell on how I was raped when I was 10. But I choose not. Why should I let his '11 minutes of fun' scar me? How long more do I want to be sad? My destiny is not the past but it lies in how I view my future.


There would be a significant one in your life. No one can survive being alone. We live in a community. Humans are made to interact. We need someone to be the witness of our lives.


Men are lacking in nature. No one is ever complete. The lady in my life would be the one who support me and my decisions, the one who would be my helper. I need someone to complete my lackness. In the same way, I would complete her.


I believe in the power of prayers. Praying together as a couple could take a relationship to greater heights. For God would mould us, bless us, and make us whole.


Back to work.

Sad Talk

Short Talk:


I love this blog. She's young, beautiful, sexy and totally outright. I love the way she winks. Introducing Mamoyo.







Mamoyo teaches us how girls sound when they fake orgasm.



-----------------------------------------------------------


It's already the 29th and pay is not in yet. Most prolly by tomorrow morning. Can't blame the HR, it's a terribly obscene sum of money that they are crediting to us.


With over 15 storeys in the building, the number of employees are substantial. I have not even included the number of people working in the depot and overseas. Come tomorrow, most of them would be at least $10,000 richer.


The company is giving a total of 7 months bonus, of which 2 months had been credited. Employees would receive 5 months bonus + 1 month pay in their bank accounts tomorrow. Do your math.


Sianz. Sianz. Sianz. Sianz. Sianz.


I have nothing 'cus I was not confirmed by Dec '05. I totally can imagine what I could do with that sum of money.


I could have gotten Geraldine a 1 carat diamond ring.


I could have gotten my family, myself and her a LV bag each!


Or I could have taken a trip to L.A. myself!


Imagine the disappointment. Sigh.


On a different note, the banks called me this evening. But my parents are not supporting me in my career move. Fuck.


At least Blackathy is all clean and shiny.

Rock My Sunday

Short Talk:


An annoymous sent me a sms:


It's so late you may have slept already. It'll be great if you see this sms next morning. And if you have woken up from your sleep just to read this sms. All I wanna say is: happy monday blues!


wtf!



-----------------------------------------------------------------


The weather today was really nice. Was raining heavily this morning and my bed was so inviting, but I decided against it and started to compile the Starbucks assignment. Spent the entire morning editing my members' work.


At 12:30, I took a slow drive in the rain towards Suntec. Did a little window-shopping alone. Had wanted to get another Lacoste, but decided to wait till the next weekend. Gerrie's U0B card would come in handy, with additional 10% reduction.


I suggest those of you who are looking for pants may want to take a look at the range at Crocodile. This local brand has been trying to revive its image but I'm betting it would take a long while before people start to notice it again. Prices are reasonable though, from $49 to $89.


When I reached my destination, the salesgirl wasted no time in serving me tea. The china was nice and the tea wasn't too hot. Perfect. She was patient and sensitive to my every needs. Spent about an hour in the shop. Paid and left my purchases there. And then walked out as a Lee Hwa Privilege Cardmember.


Sidetrack a little: was joking with Gerrie last night if she ever needed a drink but couldn't find any shop, head to any jewellery shop and pretend to be interested. A drink may just come along. =)


Met Geraldine. Took a little walk before entering Lee Hwa, on the pretext of finding a gift for her mom's birthday. Unexpectedly, the salesgirl played along with me. Too bad Geraldine caught my wink.


"You've been here?"


"Nope. She smiled at me, so I smiled back lor."


The salesgirl was attentive towards Gerrie. I asked the salesgirl to let Gerrie try the ring sizes. Gerrie obliged, but felt embarrassed 'cus we weren't getting anything. She went to take a look at its brochures, while I whispered to the salesgirl.


We walked out of Lee Hwa with a bag in my hand. She was surprised when I gave her a pair of diamond earrings. I put 'em on her immediately. Her smile was worth it. The three-prong solitaire ring would only be ready for collection next week.


Over lunch at Carls Jr (my virgin visit. Yes, I'm slow), she told me I can't really keep surprises. The wink, the trying of ring sizes without even looking at rings and she overheard the conversation between me and the salesgirl about her ring size.


Either she's too observant or I'm plain dumb. The other time she figured out I have gotten her the Swarovski necklace, but that incident was partly due to Derrick's inability to answer her question. Whatever it is, I'm glad she's happy.


We skipped the movie and headed back home. She slept while I continued the project. It got me frustrated. Dunno if it's because my members' English cmi, or Starbucks' attempt to homogenize the entire coffee industry. Perhaps both.


Excerpt:
Starbucks' 'store cannibalization' strategy had led to sluggish sales growth rate. It attempted to eliminate competition through buy-outs, "cluster bombing" tactics, and market cannibalization.


Sidetrack a little... Waikit asked me how to propose to a girl. So happy for him. He managed to find a girlfriend when he started work, and after several years later, he decided it's time to tie the knot.


I have lots of creative ideas. In fact, I love sharing them with others. Haha, just recently gave tips to Thomas on making a scrap book. It's not just a decorative book with pictures. That book itself must have a theme. Select the photos, choose a theme and then decorate it. Choosing the book itself takes time.


Anyway, I shared with Waikit one idea. Was telling Geraldine about it just now. She shared with me her cousin's idea, which I thought it was cost-effective, but was such a "Aww... SO SWEET" gesture.


Whatever it is, my idea is the perfect one. Had it written down in detail already. And am not sharing it with anyone.


Night.

Shop Talk

Short Talk:


Dinesh has something to say. He writes. Think I'm boring? Read it all
here. Heh, just kidding. Now, all of you don't go around falling in love with his blog.


m)phosis, Boss and Burberry kicked start its sale.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm such a lady. Oopx. I mean, a lady killer lady's man. Okok, fine. I admit. I'm a manwhore. Just last evening, I was asked to spend one evening with this lady. I was thinking, "Do I really look like a manwhore to you?" It's one thing that some tai-tai would come up and dance with me at Insomia, but that request somehow made me felt humilated. Geez.


I was busy editing my team's work after school this afternoon while the 3 girls were talking about having cakes at Canele and Hang-Out, or organizing some blind dates only to have that guy pay $300 for the dinner. I couldn't care much and hurried myself to finish their work. I felt cheap. -_-"


Was really happy to see Geraldine today. Poor girl had to work till 5:30pm. We had dinner at her place, where we bought crabs and prawns with cereals from the No Signboard restaurant. Was glad everyone had a good time. The food may be good, but the company was even better.


We headed down to town, where we barged into Burberry boutique even though the salesman was repeatedly saying to everyone, "Sorry, we are closed." Anyway, I read its advert yesterday, saying there would be a 65% reduction, but there was only 30%!


At its counter in Taka deparment store, a queue was formed. I mean it's only 30% lar! But by judging the number of people holding the Burberry paper bags this evening, I guess people are more willing to spend. Was rather disappointed I couldn't get my polo tee though, which cost over $270.


Into its 2nd day, GSS started rather sluggishly, with stores only offering 10-30% reductions. GG>5 was an exception though. Recent years had seen this retailer only to hold promotions at the weirdest times, prolly only when GSS was about to end. This time round, they are having an up-to-70% reduction promo.


Not only is it slow, GSS is sexist, I tell ya. Ferragamo was holding a sale in Taka where Coach used to house in. I went in with the intention to look at its shoes, only to find women's stuff. Talk about grooming men. -_-"


GSS is boring. Geraldine and I spotted stuff only to realise they were nett-priced. Those that were on sale aren't really that nice. Had in mind not to make any purchase in June. Wanted to save for a Dunhill bag. But the one that I like is a new arrival. Sian 1/2.






Wisma's mid-night shopping was rather disappointing. Sure, the building was packed, but prolly only because people still think late shopping is interesting. Most of its retail outlets are only providing 10% discount.


Was able to get a total of 25% discount at Lacoste, thanks to Geraldine's U0B card. Thought the cutting was better than Polo and Burberry's. This French label's polo tees come in a wide variety of colours. Check 'em out. Each for $99.


Was at G0ldheart when this salesman said to us, "Now, we are having 50% discount for U0B card-h0lders till 28th May."


I replied curtly, "Aiya, after 28th May, there would still be a sale of 50% discount."


That man went quiet.


Yes, Goldheart, Lee Hwa and Soo Kee are having up to 50% reduction now.


Gooogled for Lee Hwa and I came to this site.


Excerpt:





The article offered to give away diamond engagement rings if any man dared to propose to his girlfriend at Suntec. But then again, how many self-respecting girls would think it's romantic and really appreciate an lucky draw engagement ring that their boyfriends didn't personally choose, and whose wallets didn't bleed for. I guess none. Even the thriftiest would want their boyfriends to pay for it!


No free lunches in this world. Not even love. Food for thought.


At Zara, saw one of Mom's friend and her family. The couple was asking me to give their son tips on looking good in suits. So I told them Zara was definitely a better choice than G2k, despite the price differences. Zara's are 2-buttoned, more slim cut and used better material.


Actually, I felt so envious. I was tellin' Geraldine that how I wished my parents had done this for me. About buying me a suit when I just started work. It would be so nice if dad brought me to Zara to choose a black suit. I have seen so many families at Zara, fussing over their sons on getting that perfect outfit.


It's not about the money, nor the gift. Rather the pampering and love.


Sorry if I bored you guys. I know I sounded like one shopping commentator. Go live your pathetic lives now, while I wallow in self-pity.

Girls

Short Talk:


GG5 is on sale.


----------------------------------------------------------


Whenever there is a sale on guys' stuff, you not only have to 'compete' with other guys, but with women too. Just take the recent Raoul sale for example. There were many instances whereby the number of women actually outnumbered the number of men in the shop.


It's fine that women are shopping for their boyfriends/ husbands/ fuck buddies. In fact, we would go, "Aww. So sweet of them." You guys out there who received Raoul shirts as gifts... prolly I was the one who chose 'em for you.


Anyway, when I go shop for my Calvins, there are women present too. Not that I mind. What I'm trying to say is that we guys are so accustomed to the presence of the ladies.


But what happens when we guys are trapped in the ladies' territory?


I was at GG5 this morning, after the interview. Spent about 1 hour odd in it, and it so happened that I was the only guy in the shop. The place was packed and ladies were busy browsing the racks. So I chose to stand beside the counter. The thing is that the queeue was so long and the ladies had nothing to look at while queeuing up, so they looked at me, made me uncomfortable and all. As if I was the object of their affection a manwhore. The only thing GG5 lacked was a fish-tank.


I love shopping. Guys' stuff are boring. Face it. What can you get? Shirts, tees, pants, shoes... guys' clothes are dull to look at. Let me side-track a little. Our stuff are priced so much more expensive is because retailers know we hardly purchase anything. So might as well rob our money the minute we buy one.


I love shopping for ladies. I can walk into a shoe shop and recommend footwear to them. I can walk into a clothing store and pick out outfits for them. But I somehow get the general feeling from the staff I should stay out. Yes, I noticed men would just stand at one corner or outside the shop while the ladies do their own shopping. But stand like one rock like that very fun meh? I want to be involved. You know... get them to model in the clothes you think it's nice.


GSS is here. May be a bane to some of the guys out there. But one thing I'm sure of is even if you have no fashion sense, you can come in handy. Muscle power. Help your girlfriend dig the pile of clothes. Or at least queeue up for them while they continue to shop.


At the very most, help them pay. -_-"


--------------------------------------------------------------


How can you not love Japanese? I laughed at this video clip. It's totally stupid. You prolly have to sign up with YouTube before you can watch it though. Watch how the method Japanese uses to teach English.





If only we have commercials like this here.





Good good! Wahaha. Commercials like this make us all dumb.





Japanese. Naughty people uh.





This show is stupid though. The contestants were shown a video and were not supposed to laugh at any point of time.


Excerpt: The man in the video was asked to count from 1 to 100. When he reached 100, he went, "10, 10..."


*Used his fingers and continue* "10,10,10, 10,10...."


Made me laugh until peng.





Arite. Enuff jokes about Japanese. Night.

John Lennon said,

"Make love, not war."


But if you want both...


Get Married!


-----------------------------------------------


Edit: Conveniently took a day MC just now for tomorrow. Had a trim this afternoon, though I had one 2 weeks ago. JIT for tomorrow's interviews. Would be having a 2 hour, 3 segments paper in the morning. And a third interview with the local bank would be held in the evening . Not really interested though.


The 10 minute wait at the Raffles MRT was the highlight of the day. Love every minute of it.


I officially hate bus rides. Had to take one AGAIN today. Bloody commuters love to push. Very fun meh? You all might as well push the bus go home. KNN! ARGH!


-------------------------------------------------------------


GSS. It's the one thing that makes shoppers cum. Retailers know what suckers we are and have already kicked off the sale even before the commencement of GSS.


To reach out to a wider audience, they have been using emails to get our attention.






This afternoon, I forwarded a mail to the colleagues from Sop and they all got excited about it.





Now, who wouldn't? Even Alicia is!


But due to my budget constraint, I have to limit my spending next month. Here's what I'm going to get. And please tell me if you see any good buys.


1. Grey pants. Must be slim-cut.
Top choices of shops: Zara, Top Shop
Last choices of shops: Robinsons, Marks & Spencer


2. Brown/ Chocolate-coloured pants. Must be slim cut.
Top choices of shops: Zara, Top Shop
Last choices of shops: Robinsons, Marks & Spencer


3. Black shiny pointed shoes
Top choices of shops: Bally, Ferragamo
Last choices of shops: Pedro


These would do!

What A Facade.

This morning, a lady called into the radio station to say how she became an anorexia after much teasing from a guy friend she barely knew.


It's quite sad actually. To have to live in fear or in doubt just because of what people said. Ok, I just succeeded in making her look dumb.


Nevertheless, hopefully that lady would be comforted by the words of another caller.


"We may not be Nissan March, but we can be Lexus."


Totally agreed. You can be big yet still look beautiful.


Realised people LOVE to take things at face value. They think they know it all just because they read it off somewhere or something along that line. Don't really want to expound on it.


Anyway, the closing bid for PST is nearing. JJ is rich, bidding for 5 lots. Someone in the office lagi best. 50 lots, costing over $30k.


Such a pity the closing bid for ThaiBev had closed this afternoon. Looked attractive though, with less than 40 cents per unit.


Just after work, I accompanied Geraldine home and we ended up buying durians. One for $24, not nice also must say nice lar.


Dunwan to write anymore. Good night. Bleah.

What A Fat Day!

Went to work feeling hungry, despite having a heavy dinner the previous night. Was so sleepy at work. I think some of the colleagues were gossiping about me napping in in the office. Bleah.


Had my mind set on eating prata for breakfast, but ended up at Raoul with 2 of them. I love its ties. Mentioned before that 3 ties or cufflinks are going for S$120. But I don't need so many ties! Anyone want to share with me? Last day of sale is this Friday.


Was at G2000 during lunch and I thought the ties were not too bad also. Again, who wants to share with me? Can get 20% discount with purchase of 2 ties.


Met Geraldine after work. Had went to her place for dinner. At Fort Road, we had already called for pizza delivery. Glad we made the call earlier as it required 1 hour of waiting time. I had soup, fish and potato chips before having the pizza, garlic bread and wings. Weird combo if you ask me. Am still feeling full. What a fat day! Sheesh.


Had went to pick Dad at Orchard. He had this cut on his forehead. Was sharing with him the news of the PST.


Ooh, the foreign bank called her but she didn't pick up though. She may be changing job soon! Heh.


The local bank called me today, ask me down for an interview. But frankly, I prefer the foreign bank. Even the job scope sounds more interesting. Anything is better than chasing people for money.


Haven't study for my test on Thursday. Die.

Sunday

It's been a long day.


Woke up to wax the car despite the dark sky. Picked up Geraldine from church and we had cakes at Canele. This time we had Royale and Tiramisu, accompanied with a pot of Earl Grey. Was perfect. Came up to about $16 only.


Wanted to head down towards the National Library, but ended up at Suntec. On our way, I was waiting for the lights to turn green. One old man riding a bike came too close and hit my mirrors, quickly turn and waved and rode off. I was like, wtf! He even had the cheek to laugh it off. Rude man, I tell ya. Some people.


At Suntec, saw a couple of army friends. Dinesh's working at Simply Toys, so i went there to disturb him. Hoo Xiong and Xian Jie were shopping at Carrefour. And the 8 boys I saw outside the Specs shop... dunno what they were doing there lar. Heh.


We went to Raoul. I wanted to take a look at their shirts. I prefer to shop at its boutique, with the attention from the staff. I really hated the one at Raffles. The staff there ain't professional,prolly some part-timers. I could jolly well be in a better position to render advice anytime. Shopping at Raoul is an experience, whereby the staff would fuss over you. I mean, if you are about to spend $200 on a shirt, you demand service. Of all Raoul, I still prefer the one at Paragon. There's this Caucasian who would recommend the type of shirts one would look good in. As I mentioned, buying a shirt is an art. It's no longer simply about buying a brand. Anyway, Geraldine and I spent about half an hour there. She ended up buying me a pair of cufflinks.


Dinner was good. With family and dad's friends. Sakura buffet offers a fusion between local and Japanese food. Expect a buffet that offers a wide variety of food. Isn't that expensive oso. Only $24 per pax.


Happy for A*man. Called me to ask me what should she get for a guy.


Give me $150 - $200, I would consider buying these:


1. Kenneth Cole's Signature spray


2. Seiko 5 Series watch


3. Bracelet (Tian Po & Lee Hwa are having 50% discount)


4. Necklace (again, from Tian Po & Lee Hwa)


5. Guess clothes (having 30-70% discount)


6. A pair of Levi


7. Burberry/ Polo Ralph/ Lactose polo tee


8. Gucci keypouch


9. Shirts from Zara/ Raoul


10. Burberry boxers, Calvins


Girl, no worries lar. Guys very ez to 'hong' one. Buy them anything and they fucking happy like siaoz. If I am you, I would book a room at Fullerton, bring him to Tiffany, buy a bouquet of mini Holland white rose, dine at Les Amis, cakes at Canele and wine at Wine Boz.


And most importantly, charge everything to him.


Sounds like a plan uh!





I mean, how can he not love Tiffany! But sympatise with him as well lar. Dun get a ring that is too expensive. The one below is nice!





Not as refined. But still... it's a piece of Tiffany.


Gosh, I can't believe I'm helping the girls. -_-"


Experience waves of orgasm now.



Blackathy, 11:56 PM


How Do You Know You're Stylish?

I love receiving compliments. Who doesn't?


I like it when girls say I look good or dress well. I like it when girls say I smell nice. I like it when girls like my taste. I like it when girls appreciate me giving them comments.


But that wouldn't be the highest compliment. Because it's natural for girls to be attracted to the opposite sex.


Although it was weird, I felt good when Tam's guy friend said I got nice ass.


Just today, I was walking past this car when this man was looking at me. I knew it wasn't because of the Burberry shirt, or Gucci belt. It couldn't be because of my Calvins. After walking a distance away from the car, I turned to look back and could see that man was still looking at me from his side mirror.


Strange. But it felt good.


Took the public transport this morning to meet the girls. It's been a long time since I last took a bus. My Ezlink card has ran out of credits, so I slot in coins into the machine. Except that I put in 80 cents. I had really thought that bus ride would cost only $0.80. Blurdy bus driver shouted at me, "Oei! It's 90 cents!" Fine. So I shortchanged her 10 cents. Big deal. I gave her another 10 cents to shut her up.


In the train, I saw this guy wearing a shirt with wing collars. I gave a grunt of disapproval. Stupid.






Collars are the most important part of dress shirts details for its overall styling because it draws attention to your face as well as giving an illusion of shaping it. It all depends on the type of your face. Men with small faces should avoid wide collars otherwise the collar will overwhelm the face. Similarly, big faced men should avoid wearing narrow collars since it will enhance further the size of their head.


That guy was prolly wearing Raoul, based on the material. But so what? It's not as if he was wearing a tux with that wing-collared shirt. Worse, he was wearing cufflinks with jeans. Wtf!


Cufflinks worn with a casual shirt may possibly be overdressed. And please! Avoid wearing cufflinks with jeans and sneakers!


Hinge on variations of silver, gold, dark blue, and red if something toned down is preferred. These classic colours will ensure you always look good at any occasion.


Consider accessories that go well with cufflinks. Avoid gold cufflinks with a stainless steel watch underneath.


In fact, double-cuff shirts are meant to go with a suit and not wore per se. But because of the weather here, it has become socially acceptable.


Oh well... it's an ongoing process in knowing the right type of shirts to wear at the appropriate times.


Talking about shopping, was really excited. The moment I stepped out of Isetan lift, I was slapped with the word "SALE" plastered all over. Celine 70%. Burberry 70%. Decided not to spend anymore money. I didnt' even get the Zara shirts which I liked so much, even though Geraldine offered to buy for me.


We didn't do much shopping. Amid all similarities, we don't really like to shop during the weekends. Too crowded. We ended up only getting her Dior stuff and yes, I satisfied my seafood urge at Ambush. Lovely.


No cakes tonight though. By the time we reached Mount Emily, Hang Out was already closed.


There's something about growing old. Taste changes. Instead of chilling out at bars, I now prefer cakes and tea. Romance me with Earl Grey anytime, coupled with a strawberry shortcake. Sweet.


Don't care. I'll have my cakes tomorrow.


Met Jayne and Bee Ying this afternoon. Jayce has a Tiffany. Omg. Rich.


For those of you who are thinking of getting diamonds, Goldheart is having a 50% sale. Not sure if it applies only to those who have UOB cards though.


There's this website which lets you design your own engagement ring.





This 6.70 carat diamond is Blue Nile's most expensive diamond, retailing at USD558,646.


Try designing yours!


This is what Geraldine had done.





Oh, I think her 2nd design is much nicer.





With 38 diamonds, of course nicer lar. But how to afford? Can only play around the website lor.





Aright. Good night. Very sleepy.


I leave you girls with my design. Happy dreaming.






This Platinum Four-Prong Solitaire Setting has a 6.70 carat round diamond with Ideal-cut, D-color, and IF-clarity. Retailing at USD559,046.


Edit: Am addicted to 'So You Think You Can Dance' after watching the clips at Lynette's. Go here to watch all the clips.



This is one of my favourites. Argentine Tango.





On a ligher note, Japanese men can be so lame. Men in swim suits. Crappy but funny.





For those of you who are sex-starved, enjoy this.

Clothe Me

At Raoul today, another six people mistook me for one of their staff. Sometimes I really wanted to tell them off.


"Look at their staff. They are casually dressed. In what ways do I look like one of them?"


But upon seeing their sheepish expression, I relented and answered whatever questions they had. I just love watery, innocent eyes and their angelic faces. Like what Thomas said, "How nice we have girlfriends who buy these Raoul for us!"


Yes, I have decided to put my purchases to a full stop. After getting another 3 shirts and a pair of shoes today.


I have gotten 5 shirts for myself at $423 (including alteration), a pair of shoes at $100 and 3 shirts for dad at $167. Today's only the 18th day of the month, but my expenses had escalated to over $3100.






I was glad Raoul decided not to put the black shirt on the extreme right on sale. I would have felt so cheated. After all, I spent 200 bucks on it.


Geraldine was nice to accompany me for lunch before going for her facial. She had went on to sign up a $999 package this afternoon only to regret 'cus she could have gotten herself a LV with that sum of money (obviously plus at least $600 more).


Anyway, today's topic is about clothes. Since GSS has started, at least at Isetan and Robinsons.


Singaporeans are learning to dress up. Women have the advantages 'cus their clothes are relatively cheaper. We shan't go to their cost of make-up 'cus we know they are expensive.


But there's a big difference between being appropriately dressed and being stylishly dressed. Majority are only appropriately dressed, be it in Zara, Raoul, G2000, Burberry. I know I had said clothes maketh a man. But I shall complete that sentence... Package defines a man.


Clothes may make you look good, but not stylish. Anyone can afford a $400 Burberry shirt (just that only if he is willing to spend). I say, don't cheapen the brand please.


Just this week alone, I have seen guys and girls carrying the Bastille, but I thought it doesn't look good on them. Because they don't have the package.


So how to look stylish?





Honour your tailor.


Even the best suits need altering. Not everyone is born with the same body type. And don't go around thinking a piece of clothing is designed for your body type. Pants need to be shortened, jackets need to be brought in, sleeves need to be narrowed (yes, you can ask your tailor to slim down your sleeves), and buttons need to be realigned with buttonholes (most guys' shoulders aren't entirely even, meaning your jacket often sits a bit askew). You should always buy your correct size, but you then need to have a tailor customize it to your body.





When choosing socks, the basic rule is to consider the suit instead of the shoe - in other words, if you're wearing a navy suit with black shoes, reach for navy socks. And when wearing a light suit, make sure the socks are darker than the suit but a shade or so lighter than the shoes. Please. Don't wear white socks. It's plain ugly.


My new Raoul shoes are in brown. Love them to bits. How to wear them? Remember this rule: The colour of the shoes must be the same as of the belt.





Another pair of brown shoes.





While black dress shoes are easy - they're understated and tasteful, brown dress shoes up the style factor. People notice them. They go best with gray, khaki, or navy. Dark brown shoes are easier to pull off than light brown ones.





I agree many guys out there do not like pointed shoes, citing that they are not comfortable. But I see myself wearing only those shoes. Gives you the sharp look.


Pants are important. Baggy pants are no-nos. Go alter or tailor them.


Those of you who are working in Tanjong Pagar area, you may try Yin Yin Fashions at 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #02-16. Many hotel guests from Amara have their clothes altered there.


Think you are stylish already? Not yet.


Have an expensive haircut. Don't be sloppy.


Trim your eyebrows. I had mine threaded today. A little painful, but it's better than plucking. It's faster and it gets rid of those fine hair. You can try threading at Reflexion Beauty Centre at Peninsula Plaza. They do threading for eyebrow, upperlip, chin, cheeks.


All these may make you look stylish, but you ain't stylish if you still don't have the package.


Watch how you sit, behave, move your hand, drink from the cup, talk...


Aritey, I'm tired. Shall leave you with a himbo joke.


Which genre is the rabbits' favourite?


Yup, you're right. It's hip-hop.


Kk, another one.


A plate said to another plate on the dining table, "Lunch's on me."


The end.

How To Lose Weight?

Earlier in the morning, 2 persons called into the radio stations.


The question was asked, "What would you give up to lose weight?"


I was expecting model answers like, "I would give up eating ice-cream." My answer would prolly be, "I would fuck more."


Nooo... That man said, "I would give up one year of my life."


A woman said, "I would give up my nose." Bad English. She actually meant losing her sense of smell.


A man texted the DJs that he would give up his spouse. Wtf!


Think those answers were bad?


In a survey whereby 4000 people took part, 50% said they would give up one year of their lives.


Another extreme group said they would give up 10 years of their lives!


Some said they would rather lose their limbs, or eye-sight, or their spouses.


The most ridiculous and it-makes-me-want-to-fuck-them answer was:


To accept children with disabilities.


Wtf!


You rather look good and have children with disabilities? You should go castrate yourself!


Simmer down, I should.


On a lighter note, here's a joke.


Just received an email asking who is interested in attending a Windows 97 Powerpoint course.


Why am I not surprised if I am wearing my Calvins on the outside tomorrow on the way to work?

Random Talk

Had dinner with family this evening at Bugis. Was nice. In fact, very nice. To have everyone to gather to have dinner. Something we don't do often. Dad looked good in the Raoul; and felt happy Mum was wearing the Seiko.


Until she said, "I prefer the Seiko I saw just now. About $400+."


-_-"


You know what! In future, if you have kids and they give you presents, you jolly well be glad about it. Even if it's a crappy drawing of you, you'd better act excited about it. Children spend or make efforts to get you something just to see your smile. Appreciate them. Heard enough stories of parents not liking the gifts. Bahz.


Anyway, I was in the toilet this evening. I stood at the urinal beside Dad. As I was holding my rod,I thought to myself, "Every achievement I have goes to Dad."


He has provided the family a rather good life for the past 25 years. Be it in terms of financial, physical, emotional, we have it all. And it's not easy on him. He has to pay for our studies, finance both car and house... Well, he's the one who gave me my looks. Heh. I love my high sex drive. Oopx.


Happy birthday, Daddy!


Wanted to bring my family to Canele. Called the place up but they close at 8pm on Wednesday. Haha, blur me lost my way to Nafa's TCC. So my sis' boyfriend suggested this place at Mount Emily. Another place where you need a car.


The place is quite deserted. Away from the city. It's housed in a boutique hotel and the restaurant is named "Hang Out".


The menu looked simple. In fact, I sniggered at it. It's a one-page menu, prolly printed using a home printer. But when the cakes arrived, I was begging for more!



Dunno the actual name of the desert, but they serve with vanilla ice-cream and a cake. Cut open the cake, and warm chocolate oozes out. Lovely Orgasm would be the ideal name, I tell ya.


We have this strawberry cheesecake. It's the ONLY cheesecake I ever have that really gives you the cheesy feeling. It's like as if you're eating melted cheese. It's that good!


Tiramisu was excellent.


Total bill? Over $60. Yes, it's that ex.


Saw Geraldine twice today. But the total time wasn't quite an hour. That happens when she has to work shifts. Sigh. She'll be having her off day tomorrow. Prolly do lunch together. Yeap, I know I said I would stop buying Raoul after spending $323 on them. But Mom just gave me $200! So it's gonna be 2 shirts for Dad and 1 for me! Yippie! I'm going to get a white shirt for Friday's interview.


But then again, ever since Raoul began their sale, I am quite sian of it already. It's like as if it has become the uniform brand for all office boys in Raffles Place. It's no longer that exquisite. Any Tom, Dick or Harry now prolly wear Raoul! Bleah.


EEew. Don't like that.


Soon, I shall dress in Boss, Zegna or Barneys.


Talking about brands, I was quite upset with someone today. He took my Ferragamo without asking me. Damn sian can! You want something, you better ask first! No matter how close you are to that person, you need to open that mouth of yours.


He might as well take my Calvins and wear. Sheesh. Best is he put a soiled one on his head. I'm so mean.


Aritey. Good night. Late liao!

Why Man Dies Earlier?

Glenn Ong and FD was sharing this morning on why man dies earlier than woman.


A research shows that it's the women's fault.


Men has always been competing over women. This excessive risk-taking, aggression to win the mate has shown it shortens the lifespan of Man.


Well, you know what I think of it?


I think it's bull.


Man dies earlier 'cus of the make-up woman puts on.


Just imagine the amount of make-up on her face and then you go kiss and lick her.


Don't believe me?


Try eating a lip-stick.


Anyway, I thought what Glenn said was meaningful.


"Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but doesn't bring you anywhere."

Raoul Me

I woke up feeling super strange. Everything seemed too familiar. Driving to work, the walk to office, the same people in the office, the big black IBM box on my table with so many emails to clear.


I WANT TO GO HOME SLEEP!!! I MISS MY BED! I miss the late nights, waking up only in the late mornings. Bleah.


I want to have red wine and mussels with cheese at Wine Boz. I want to shop. I want to do anything, everything, play with my toes, lick my fingers, but work and study.


But reality check. Playing with my cock whole day doesn't earn me my pay check. And no, Heaven & Earth don't give out $8888 everyday.


Talking about shopping, I did it again. Got another Raoul. I never learn, do I?


After spending $249 on 4 Raouls and another $74 on alteration, I have decided to put everything to a stop. (Omigosh, whoever spends $74 like that! I'm crazy!)


Finale. Hush. Zip.


MR is right. I'm spending too much. TCYY is right. It's horrendous. But I can't help it! Just this afternoon, I so wanted to get a pair of brown shoes. Going for $120. Sheesh.


Another bank called today to make an arrangement with me for an interview. I like this bank, but not the position. Might give it a miss though. It's so hard for me to ask Boss for a half day leave.


Am awaiting for H&E to send me this month's cheque. Oh, received the third installment of SwissCash. Yeah.


Blackathy, 9:12 PM


You're Working Here?

The other day at Raoul, I was approached at least five times by both men and women.


"How do I know the cost of this piece?"


I felt a sense of joy to tell people that the shirts being a single or two ply would make a difference, and that the types of collars and fit would determine if the person would look good.


"You should work here," a good-looker was saying.


But not when I was at NUS prata stall, I was holding the menu, looking for the server to place my order. This man stood up from his seat, signalled to me that he wanted to place his.


Now what? I look like Mister Prata Man?

Long Weekend

Doesn't seem long at all. The weekend, that is.


Had a pretty short work week. Skipped work for 2 days, played punk for the next 2 days.


The three days did wonders though. Met up with a couple of friends. Glad to know A*man is good. How I know? 'Cus her jokes are lame. Was pretty tired that day, so yea,would like to apologise to her. Thought the "Someone is watching me" thingy was so comical. Lynette looked good as well. =)


Much of the weekend was spent shopping. Not me, but Geraldine. I was only responsible for giving opinions and holding the bags.


Shopping aside, let's talk about food. I don't quite like Cosy Bay. And the food wasn't really that good.


If you are looking for cheap steak, try the one at Ikea. And while you're there, must get the wings and Swedish meat balls.


Everyone knows NUS prata. But instead of the standard cheese prata, get the 'Special'. It's so good. Prata with cheese, egg and potato. Lovely.


Renn Thai is an upmarket restaurant. The decor is beautiful and the service is excellent. May be a little costly but it's worth it.


Went to Secret Receipe at City Square. Was really crowded, but the trainees were not too bad, in terms of service. But they could do something better about the food. The mushroom soup was served cold. Super sianz can. The food's not too bad. The cakes were really good! Had blueberry cheese cake and a Chocolate Indulgence. The total bill came up to less than RM50. You can never get that kinda price here.


Picked my family up just now. The silence seemed to be broken. Sighz. Sian. Heh. Went to ECP Waraku. Couldn't believe what I had. A complete beef kaninabe set, 2 plates of sashimi salmon and a potato mentai. Been a long time I had feasted on so many things at one go.


Mom bought me a bottle of Polo Black, whilst she didn't look that bit excited when I gave her the Seiko. Dad seemed a little nonchalent when I gave him the Raoul. Super sianz.


Sigh. The weekend is over. And I can see myself having much trouble surviving the next four weeks.

My Expenditures

Last month, I spent $3545.


My expenditures went up to $2026 for this week alone. The Raoul sale was so tempting. The other day, Thomas and I ran off the office 15 mins earlier to get to Raoul. Tcyy joined us later and I paired with him to get 2 more shirts. Total spending on Raoul came up to $264, one of which is for Dad.


Finally, got a Seiko for Mum. Hope she'll love the surprise.


Geraldine was more eager to spend money. Just in two days, think more than $500 went to her clothes and shoes. Love the Dior bag she got earlier on. Sweet.


Going broke. Am going Renn Thai now. Ciaoz.

Shopping Trip

Gosh! I was dreaming when Jesica called. I picked up the phone and was shocked! I WAS LATE FOR WORK LAR!


She called me at 0900H, wondering if I was still sick. I took a quick shower and drove to work. Parked Blackathy and then took a cab to my office. Ended up over an hour late. Boss wasn't too happy about it, said I have been missing quite frequently despite me joining the company only recently. Sigh. It's not as if I wanted to. Interviews are held during office hours mah. Heh. K lar, my fault.


Wanted to get mom a watch but thought the guy version looks nice as well. Didn't really know if I should get it, so paid $10 as deposit for them to reserve the two watches.






Oh, and gracias to Carissa! The other day I was in Malaysia, she informed me the date of sale Raoul was having. Today, brought Thomas there and the crowd was overwhelming! We took our time to choose. Fitting rooms were closed, so we can't really try it on.


3 X 1 ply shirts = $150


2 X 2 ply shirts + 1 X 1 ply shirts = $180
2 X 1 ply shirts + 1 X 2 ply shirts = $180


3 X 2 ply shirts = $200


Shoes, belts, ties and cufflinks were going for massive discounts as well! I had so much fun choosing.


Ended up buying a pink shirt for myself and a white one for dad. Thomas had one for himself as well.


Damn cheap can!


U.P. $145 e.a.
S.P. $67
Save $78


Am going to alter the shirt, so ended up saving $60!


Talking about alteration, I had my Zara tailored at Alter Pro. Charged me $28. But I went to one at Tanjong Pagar to do my Burberry and she charged me only $18. Conclusion: Raffles Place stuff are more expensive.


Met Geraldine after work at OUB. She liked the watch, so I paid for the two.





I thought the watches were good buys. Automatic with 21 jewels. Need no batteries. I love it so much. What attracted me is the Romans lettering. The calender can also be tuned to Romans'. Best thing is it's limited. One pair only. =)


Went back to Raoul with her. Saw this blue shirt. Oh my gosh, loved it so much! I'm really hoping they still have it tomorrow. The crowd this evening was amazing. Suffocating might be the right word. Going to meet Thomas (from class), Derek, Eddy and some of my colleagues would be going there too! So fun! But my wallet is crying out loud. Sigh. To give you a feel of how 'young' my colleagues are, they were talking about viagra today. Sheesh. Still ask me if I want or not. Purlease.


Geraldine treated me to a meal at Sakae. Haven't been there for the longest time though. Couple of years prolly. Was good. Loved its salmon, eel and scallop. After dinner, within half an hour, she did her shopping. Ended up with 3 tank tops and a clutch bag.


Heard over the radio that loving to shop is pre-determined during the pregnancy stage.


Anyway, met the boys after sending her home. Leong's singing blew me away. Sounded like the real thing. Had a glass of Carlsberg before I left. Yup, just when I'm having asthma. How healthy uh!


Was worried when an entourage of bobbies were surrounding my Blackathy this evening. Lucky they were escorting some big fucks and left me alone.


Mom called me just now. Happy to hear her voice. Haha, said Taiwan was damn boring. Would get you the watch soon, my dear. Prolly just before you come back. At the most, bring you out for shopping. You'll get to choose the watch you like.


Aritey, going to bed now. Wouldn't want Boss to call me tomorrow morning, would I?

Lonely Talk

Woke up having a headache and had difficulty in breathing. Went to the doctor's. Was quite upset about the doctor and the staff in that clinic. But shan't say anything more, since the company co-pay for my medical fees.


Went to the roof of the carpark to 'sun' the car and myself. Took a few pictures of Blackathy with my old Fuji but realized I had lost the usb cable. Anyway, once the battery dies, can throw away that cam liao. 'Cus the charger is with Tammy and she couldn't find it since.


Went to S.C. bank to open an account. The p3rsonal financia1 c0nsultant was quite pretty. Found out she was the same age as me. And she promised to call me soon. I wish. Heh. She would be calling me about an investment plan which I told her I am interested in. I thought her job was really fascinating and I applied for it just.


Picked Gerrie from Lakeside. Poor girl's down with gastric problem and had taken the day off. But was busy doing the case study. Gosh, I really hate editing work. Did a little conclusion for them as well.


Rushed to Toa Payoh for the interview. Didn't want to but was egged on by Thomas. I thought to myself since I have the day off, I might as well go for it. Good thing Gerrie can drive (woot! 8 pointers wor!), so I let her do the parking whilst I ran off for the interview.


Blardy interviewer spoiled my day. Disappeared for so long and then came back with an application form for me to fill up. I wanted to tell him I had already done so at its HR but decided not to. I filled the form pretty quickly but guess what? Blardy guy took 40 minutes to return with this woman. And they didn't even tell me about the job scope. I had to make assumptions to get a clearer view. Sheesh.


Went to Johnson's with Gerrie. She had taken medicine and decided to rest in the car. I wanted to print 'Blackathy' but realized the photo was saved in the wrong format. Supposed to be save under some .eps or what shit la. Anyway, I decided black tailights might attract the bobbies and tore it on the spot. Now, my lights are like everyone else.


Went to Gerrie's house to eat my dinner. Had stopped over to buy wan ton mee from this HK dim sum shop. West really darn shamed. No good food, especially my area. Super sianz. Finalized my project before slipping out of the house whilst she's sleeping.


The presentation ended up sucky. Sigh.


Came home feeling lonely. House's so quiet. Another 5 more days til they come back. Shall just enjoy the peace.


Remembered I was quite irritated by the noise when they came back the other time. Heh.

Car Talk

Finished my part of the project at 3++ in the morning, was feeling so tired I didn't attempt the others' parts. Had only 3 hours of sleep and I sent my family to the airport.


I tried Givenchy's Lovely Prism. It's really nice. Only available at Changi Airport. Priced about S$75 for a 50ml bottle.





Geraldine uses So Givenchy which smells good as well.





We had breakfast at Kallang McDonald's before accompanying her to the doctor's. I went to pick Gary and Derek thereafter and soon we reached Pelangi Mall. The guy who's supposed to do the bodykit wasn't around, and they didn't order the struts for me, so I had nothing to buy there.


Meanwhile, we took a cab down to City Square. We had our hair done at Reds. It's really cheap there. It cost only RM33 for a haircut! I decided to highlight and the total bill is only RM90!


But I thought end result wasn't nice. -_-"


Sent Gary home before picking Geraldine up from Raffles Place. TCC was nice.


Am so confused about tomorrow. Still wondering if I should go for the bank interview. Sigh.

Chocolate Talk

With only 4 hours of sleep, I went to church alone. The sermon was powerful and I am totally enriched by it. I had booked 2 copies of the sermon and would receive it by next Sunday.


Went to Geraldine's church to wait for her to finish her class. Was reading the PSA Peugeot Citroen case study in the car. Felt so hot. The wait took me 2 hours. By the time she came down, I was baked.


Unexpectedly, Amoy was open on Sunday. It seemed so familiar yet the feeling is different just because there was no crowd. No people in office wear. Lunch was arite. Almost puked when I ate the pork though.


Anyway, the highlight of the day was the cakes from Canele. It is a subset of Le Amis Group. Canele Patisserie- Chocolaterie boutique is located at Robertson Walk. At the Courtyard, near Double O. In the day-time, the Courtyard presents itself in a different light. An expensive town, with wine bars sprouting almost everywhere.


Geraldine and I shared a Royale and a Mango Shortcake, with 2 pots of Earl Grey. The Royale was so sinful, with layers of chocolate and moose and hazelnuts. Each bite is so heavenly, sending waves of orgasm. Mango Shortcake is no less delicious. The aroma of Earl Grey was so thick and the taste just melts you.


The slices are quite small though, but the richness of it fills the tummy fast. Each slice goes about S$7. The total cost came up about S$20. Now, it's Canele or Canele. No other substitutes. Cakes from Starbucks and Coffee Bean pale in comparison.


Guys, if you seriously want to impress a lady, book a cake from Canele. The packaging is really nice. It comes in a black and pink box. Not too expensive also. Over S$70 for one.


Canele is always packed though, with expariates and tai tais living nearby in those service apartments and condos. You would have to reserve a table, with them holding it for you for only ten minutes.


Am still doing the case study. One of my members has flown away and I gotta do her part. The other two have trouble doing theirs and asked me to help them. Sigh. In another couple of hours, I have to bring my family to the airport. They're flying to Taiwan! So good. Never mind. I would be going to Malaysia on my own. Hrumph.


Good night.

Untitled Talk

Class was kinda interesting with Zai lecturing. On first sight, he's just one big hillarious lard faggot with a distinctive accent. But somehow, he managed to capture everyone's attention. Today, he mentioned about love. No such thing called love forever, he says. Money can buy love. He even suggested one day all of us could order our partners from a vending machine, or that we can have sex with robots.


Just like the role Jude Law played in Artificial Intelligence. A male robotic prostitute.


Talking about school, I've yet to do my part for the upcoming case study. Presentation on Tuesday. Sianz.


Last night, had supper with Geraldine at a dim sum place. Really nice, loved the fried scallop. The porridge was excellent and the char siew paus were fantastic.


She had invited me to join her and her family for dinner this evening. I went to her place after school, while waiting for her to get changed. We went to the Raffles Town Club's rooftop for steamboat. I thought the club was really nice. Had been there only twice though.


The special thing about this steamboat was that they served BBQ food as well. The crayfish, sotongs, fish wrapped with pandan leaves, chicken, lamb, mutton... they were so good I had multiple orgasms right there. K, I exaggerated. But couldn't have too much of 'em 'cus of my stupid throat.


We adjourned to the lounge where I saw couples dancing. There was this particular lady who was facing backwards. She was swaying and her moves were damn good. Till she turned over and I saw her face. I almost had my dinner thrown out.


Geradline had wanted to sign for the drinks, but the club only allows members to pay. We had some drinks at the pool side, while watching news on the big screen. They screened the limited edition Ferrari Superamerica which was super handsome. Imagine an open top sports car. Its glass top acts as a wind deflector. How cool is that.






But with only over 500 pieces of Superamerica, the price tag is also hefty.


The other time I was yahoo-ing for 2 Fast 2 Furious photos, I came to its official site. But it showed me The Fast and the Furious: the Tokyo Drift instead.





When I saw that page, I went, "When did they ever had the Tokyo version? Is this a joke?" I even try lime-wiring it but couldn't find any files. So I thought perhaps it wouldn't be screened here till I saw its trailer today.


Expect babes,





babes,






and more babes.





It's high time Hollywood showcase Asian's finest babes. The fast and furious series may be about cars, but like car shows, the movie would be incomplete without the race queens. And who does it better than the Japanese.


Maggie Q looked beautiful in Mission Impossible 3 though. Especially with that red gown. Holly smoke! A woman in a Lamborghini. Agreed with her. Was such a waste the director chose to blow the car into pieces.


Mission Impossible was excellent. The first thing that caught my attention was Tom Cruise's biceps. Damn nice. Man, that guy's growing older, yet still looking so good.





The crew looked good, especially the women. Hunt's wife looked terrific. The agent looked hot.


The actions, the copters, the explosives, the guns, the plot, the stunt... everything was good. The jump Hunt did off a building in Shanghai took my breath away.





Must catch it arite?


Good night.

The Power To Be Happy

Joyce has been sick for the longest time and she's visiting her neurologist tomorrow.


Sop has sore eye. Pray for the both of them.


-------------------------------------------------------------------


Someone has been actively blue-tooth-ing x-rated video clips around. He even challenged his nephews to take videos of their 'escapades' with their girlfriends or mistresses.


Whatever has happened to the marriage vows men had made once upon a time in their lives?


I have been thinking. Mostly about jobs. The bank called twice. I turned down the telesales offer, and the HR called again to offer a position in the Collections department. Wanted to ask Huiyue for her opinion though. The only information I had gathered so far is to make over a hundred calls per day to get customers to pay up, liase with lawyers and agents and that I would have to work late at least 3 times a week.


Sounds like the same job scope that I had turned down the other time.


Anyway, I have been thinking about girls. Not girls per se. But the type that I could see myself spending my life with. Questions have been raised and asked, but not answered.


I started to watch news when I was eight. Not that I was particularly interested in the news itself, but I like to watch the news presenters. I thought they had the perfect job. To sit in front of the camera, looking pretty and reading off the scripts. Maybe that's the reason why I wanted to be a journalist. Heh. Anyway, I told myself that girls should have long hair, sweet, gentle and demure, yet command authority at the same time.






I have been looking for happiness. Sure, the initial stages were always happy. But after sometime, I realise they weren't 'the ones'. After all these years, I'm still asking, "What is love? And how do you even know if that person is 'the one'?"


To my limited understanding, love is beyond all the laughters. Love is more than the comforting. Love surpasses the pain, anguish, jealousy and hurt. It's more than wanting to be there for the person. But then again, don't quote me. I don't know anything about love.






I'm looking for someone to spend the next sixty years with. Want to be proud of her and be there for her. To walk beside her, to grow old with her. To carry her in times of trouble, to lift her up in times of opportunity. Someone I could be really happy with. Someone I could laugh with. Someone who would pray with me. Someone who would worship God with me.

Still feelin' a lil' sick.


There are days when we would feel we look damn fine. Today is definitely not the day. =(

A story about choosing fame and fortune and the denial of love. The play was fantastic.


Am not able to go to Bintan after all. The ferries are fully booked. Dampen everything.


Oh well, it's Tuesday blues. At least I get to have apple or peach strudel Geraldine has gotten for me. Time to get ready for work.

No Talk

Don't feel like talking tonight. Even switched off my mobile.


Still... many thanks to JJ and Derek for going on a shopping trip with me. They had accompanied me the entire evening in search of white shoes. Couldn't find any, nevertheless I love the black pants.



This week's issue of I.S is rather interesting, featuring two new restaurants in Bintan, and four new nightspots in Singapore. I'm wishing I could go for a short trip. Derek suggested I could try Redang. I did some research. It's basically a haven for divers. But I couldn't find any resort or hotel that appeals to me. I guess some HK movie gave that island a little boost in tourism rate. Neh, not interested.


I love GQ. It gives many tips to look stylish, but prolly I end up being poor. I was thinking of altering some of my shirts. Had sent my Zara for alteration on Friday. Cost me S$28. To have materials cut off.


I thought black pants would look good with white shoes. But after looking at GQ, black shoes look good as well.






Nevertheless, it's hard to look for pink shirts. I used to think Dad looks good in pink. Anyway, been trying to find pink ones, but couldn't find any ones that I like. I mean, you have to take into consideration of the texture, the tone, the cutting, the design...





Pink is not gay, unlike what Derek suggested. But I admit the strawberry smoothie I had this evening looks gay.





GQ is a good read. Shall share with you more next time. Really don't feel like talking anymore.
