Girls

Short Talk:


Gracias to JonnyBoy, who has provided an interesting link.
Read what women think of men's dressing. I was surprised at a few though. Majority of girls still prefer their men to be in tees and jeans and having a heck-care attitude would make girls want to lay with men.



Guess girls would never change too. Deep down, they still like bad boys.



When she wants you now, it means NOW.


Majority of the photos in this post are stills from the movie
'Sex is zero'. Just in case, some nutcase thought I have been going around snapping photos of girls. Oh well, you people like nonsensical posts, so here goes.


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


Girls. You can never have enough of them. Some people swear that women are nothing but trouble. But blame us. We are trouble seekers. We just can't live without them.


Back in school, you aruged with the girls, and the next moment you became interested in them when you spotted them wearing their white bra. You grew up fantasizing what lies beneath that piece of cloth.


The world is too big for us to fathom. There are some men who do crazy stuff.






Never know if any guy out there would actually jerk off looking at my photos.


Oh well.



Anyway, like what JonnyBoy said, we generally would look at the girls' faces first. But you can't possibly just look at faces the entire time. Assuming they are just passerby, they would prolly be gone in less than 10 seconds.


So what would you look at next?






If you're a booby man, you just make up the statistics of the majority. That mould of fats never fail to entice men. Don't know about you, but A and B cups would do really fine for me. Big boobs make girls look fat and clumsy. And it's ugly to have 'em juggle when girls run. Tasteless.





I'm a butt lover. Nice. It's never easy to have that 'right behind'. Skinny girls are prolly flat behind and well, bigger girls have bums that would sway from 'Boon Lay to Pasir Ris'.


There are no one part of a girl which determines if she's pretty. Hair. Eyebrow. Eyes. Lips. Cheeks. Teeth. Smile. Shoulders. Waistline. Hips. Arms. Neck. Even the way she talks. Some girls can be so loud and bitchy. Like the world owe 'em a living. And yes, posture.


Just today, I saw a girl in her SAJC uniform who resembled Jun Ji-hyun from 'My Sassy Girl'.





Not exactly pretty. But that's not the main point. The thing is she doesn't know how to sit properly!


Don't get me wrong. Legs are beautiful.





But not when she had 'em open wide lah!





It's so ugly can! JC girls should really learn how to close their legs. It's almost obscene to have anyone spread their legs.


Then there's another girl who has shoulders and arms of a guy. Someone should tell her to stop dragon-boating.


I love my girl to be feminine. To be sweet, gentle and the likes. But to have character and have a mind of her own. Most importantly, to be able to guide me and to teach me in areas I'm lacking.


Gerrie was my first girlfriend and I remembered I was so excited when I first held her hands. They were smooth and soft and I love it when her fingers wrapped around mine. I was so proud to walk down the streets, holding her hands.


Not that I no longer like holding her hands. In fact, I still love 'em. =)


Hands. My favourite part of a girl's body.


There are times the touch of a hand can do so much more than words can bring you comfort.


When you're tired, they massage you.
When you're weary, the touch of hands lift you up.
When you're sad, they wipe away your tears.
When you're lost, they guide you.
When you're committed, they build a future with you.

It's Gonna Be A Bloody Long Post!

Abdul insisted on buying me breakfast, although I said I had bread already. Trying to go on a diet these days. The other time I was doin' my medical check-up, I weigh 62kg. That's like 62 bags of rice. K, you prolly know I'm acting stupid.


Edit: HQ told me they don't sell rice by a kg. Dammit. This goes to show I'm not picky about my food. Yeah right.


Point is I'm getting so fat that I feel so lousy. Back at SI, I trained with Special Forces people. I could even outrun a Navy man. Now, the kid at the void deck prolly just laugh his toes off. Man, I shy away at Mail Order Bride's timing. And you should see how much Mr. Brown has lost!


Life. I'm not going to define that big word. People's minds are prolly screwed up, with the telly feeding us 'You need this, you need that. Go for it." Rather, I've been thinking what I want in life.


Dear Felix,

Shocked to note that you are leaving P1L. Anyway, all the best in your future endeavours and it has been my pleasure and honor working with you. Take care and god bless you.


Thanks a lot mate for all your support and assistance. Have a nice day !!


Best Regards,

I guess by now, you should know I have switched my career path.


Just a year ago, I was deciding to do marketing. But most firms were looking out for females. There were also firms who asked for candidates with O levels to apply. Microsoft wanted degree holders. Diploma holders are asked to do data entry. I guess only the lucky few who doesn't have studies commitment, like Jamie, could do marcom. I could only regret not going for the interview at Toyota. I would love to do events, advertising, and the likes. The glam part of marketing. But such positions would normally ask for people with Mass Com qualitifications. I can't even write well, how to be a copy writer.


It's by mistake I entered the shipping industry. Yeah, there's whole lot to learn but I have absolutely no interest in it. The only thing that fasinated me was the fact an old man whom I just bumped into the other day in the lift with his daughter owns ships and containers and loads of money. Just imagine, I'm just doin' a small part in money collections from the time the ship leaves and reach its destination and I'm talking about millions of dollars. If you combine the entire process of chartering a ship, you'll be talking in terms of billions of bucks.


Many factors went inside my head when planning the career move. Gerrie has been a great source of help. I don't want to stay in some place whereby the only thing I look forward is spending my bonuses. I don't want to wait till I finish my degree to make my next move.


The jump wouldn't earn me much. The increase isn't significant at all. There are many who questioned my move. But I see it as an opportunity. This new 1 year contract would expose me to the industry. By then, along with the cert, I would know if I want to stay in this industry or perhaps re-evaluate if marketing's the ultimate choice.


I plan to become a PSC. I see myself in Zegna's, with a sleek black 3 series before I hit 30. That's not too far away.


If all fails, I should just go sell cars dammit.


I have been observing people in the train these days, wondering what they are doing at the present moment in their lives. Then I wonder why there are so many girls driving Beemers and Mercs in Raffles Place. As we were having breakfast, Abdul was checking a lady's ass. I was thinking how I can go about owning that car of hers.


I guess there are limitless ways to go around earning that dollar. What we need to learn is how to live our lives.


I once told someone that we can't always have the best. Guess we should take life as it is and learn to enjoy.


I take it back.


What exactly is the best? It means differently to everyone. I take back my statement because I believe God gives the best. There's no such thing that God gives you second best 'cus you look like this or you go to this school.


So the happenings in my life is the best moment. Many yesterdays make up today. And today will lead to tomorrows.


I believe I have a charmed life. I may not have the things I wanted but I have all the things I need. I believe I'm blessed.


So blessed I can't contain it.


Anyway, was listening to my iPod and this song suddenly just popped. And the lyrics just brought a whole new meaning to it.


After years of expensive education,
a car full of books and anticipation,
I'm an expert on Shakespeare
and that's a hell of a lot,
but the world don't need scholars as much as I thought.


Maybe ill go travelling for a year finding myself or start a career.
I could work for the poor
though I'm hungry for fame we all seem so different
but we're just the same.


Maybe I'll go to the gym, so i don't get fat,
are things more easy with a tight six pack?
Who knows the answers?
Who do you trust?
I can't event separate love from lust.


Maybe I'll move back home and pay off my loans,
working nine to five answering phones.
Don't make me live for my friday nights,
drinking eight pints and getting in fights.
I don't want to get up, just let me lie in, leave me alone,
I'm a twenty something.


Maybe i'll just fall in love that could solve it all,
philosophers' say that that's enough, there surely must be more.
Love ain't the answer nor is work, the truth alludes me so much it hurts.
But I'm still having fun and i guess that's the key,
I'm a twenty something and ill keep being me.
I'm a twenty something. Let me lie in, Leave me alone. I'm a twenty something.



- Jamie Cullum, Twentysomething


I'm so sorry if you have to read all this. Was planning to write a stupid post like, "Why do most guys stand so close to the urinal?" or something along that line. Fine. I shall write on "Types of girls" tomorrow.


Meanwhile, comment on what types of girls interest you or which part of the body you would first look at.


Sigh, based on experiences, no matter how much badgering, no one would ever comment.


Humans can be so shallow. Guess writing stupid stuff is better. Then again. seems my words are offensive to some. Try to be a critic like Xiaxue, also cannot. Try to be lame as Kenny Sia, I fail. Then when I titled my blog as High Society, some think I'm acting high and mighty when it's just a CD album name.


How to please everyone?

Getting Old

The other day I met Davis at the train station. We had a short conversation, mostly updates on our present situations. Couldn't believe it has almost been 2 years since he ord. Claimed to be my 'biggest fan', but he never seem to drop any comments here. Hello? Oh, I thought train rides are really interesting. You see lots of different types of people, and it's really funny to see how people behave or dress. It's as good as it gets.


Was out with KB and his friend, who complained of being tired after walking up some stairs. His grouse? Getting old. I went, "Eh, I'm the oldest here can?"


Met up with Boon Wee and Venka on Sunday. Did a 'lil shopping and we settled for my 2nd cup of ice-blended mocha, which was urgently needed to keep myself awake. Glad the boys are doin' well.


The past 2 nights were terrible. Hitting the sack almost immediately after a good shower. Been feeling so tired these days. Signs of aging. Hopefully the Biotherm Gerrie got for me could take the dullness away.


Yup, she's back. Poor girl and her mom were sick. But she was still nice to have dinner with me at her place and we had drinks at a Irish pub at ECP. Was really nice and cosy. And the chocolates she gave me were awfully wicked. =)


All things are well. Exams are coming. Haven't start prepping for it.


Back to work.

Gallery







Lunch was wonderful yesterday, with Dad and Theresa. She's finally outta NUS and has started working. We lunched at Sakae Sushi, which was terrible. Dad ordered a bowl of ramen and somehow it took forever to come.


Theresa asked the waiter: We ordered xxx.


Waiter: From our staff?


-.-



No! We ordered from this blue man wearing a jumper suit, hopping right across the mall.


Anyway, the Starbucks case study was so hard to begin with. Was proscratinating the entire day. Decided to start only after 3am. Finally completed at 8am. And bloody hell, I couldn't sleep after that! Must be the ice blended mocha earlier on.


Sigh.


M1 has really good promotion now. V3X is retailing at $298, cheapest among the 3 service providers. Corporate plans are even better! As cheap as $1 - S$3 + per month! The sales staff was really helpful somemore wor!


Felix: Do you have it in black?


Sales: Sorry. No more islandwide.


Felix: Do you know when m1 would stock up?


Sales: Hm. We wouldn't know. I'm so sorry. Perhaps you would want to try Starhub or SingTel?


Nevertheless, I'm happy. Would be picking up Gerrie later at night. Meanwhile, I would be meeting the guys for lunch. And I have to shave off my stubble.


Have a great Sunday.

1 More Day

It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around and finally found
The somebody who could make me be true
Could make me be blue or even be glad
Just to be sad just thinking of you


Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you


I miss you so much. I'm just glad you are safe in the hotel.

Girlies

To all men out there:


Worry no more! There are only 2 points in our lives that we don't understand women.


Before marriage.


And after marriage.


Girls throw different perspectives. Weird it may seem, but it can be fyucking interesting.


Xiaxue talks about the joy of being ugly. About why the ugly attracts the ugly and the pretty attracts the good-looking. Ha, somehow logical. But I stick to my theory why the pretty ends up with the ugly in the end, something I've wrote in High Society.


Mamoyo is back from Kota Kinabalu and she brings back a whole lot of experiences. Getting 'wet' while having a massage and whoever grabs a bot of Chanel moisturiser when the building's 'on fire'. But what she taught me is the importance of optimism and not giving a hoot what people have to say about us. But the best post would be why we would never forget our first love. That's when we actually dared to love. Beautiful writing.


Mail Order Bride laughs at her bf's lame jokes. I guess no matter how stupid the jokes are, we still want the person to be there. I guess that's love.


Silly Celly is getting over her break-ups. About having her ego, rather than her heart, hurt. But the most interesting of all is her mom.


- Quote -


And right now, I want to die again.


My mom is getting cheeky.


Everytime I wail to her :" Mom.. I want to dieeee.."


She'd go " What colour?"


Urgh...


- Unquote -


There you go! Perspectives from the girlies.


Have a great weekend, while I bury myself in the Starbucks case study. Somebody get me a mocha frap, please.

3 More Days

Gerrie just made my day. We just had a 11 minute conversation on the phone. Was glad she has reached another state safely and her performance went great. I'm sure the show dazzled the congregation. Hope she gets well soon.


I miss her so much.


Just yesterday, I was tellin' Shengyang I'm so going to miss the food when I leave the company next month. So before I leave, I would want to have Ocean's curry fish head and Golden Shoe's curry chicken noodle.


Voila! I was planning to ta pao lunch from Ocean with Shengyang when Jessica and Tian Xing appeared from nowhere. Jessica then asked if we want to lunch with them. We had curry fish head and 4 other side dishes. The curry fish head was so good, it felt orgasmic. Jessica and TianXing were so sweet to pick the tabs.


Talking about jobs and all, the company is now in the midst of recruiting someone to replace me. Here's the job scope found in the intranet.


Duties
As part of Equipment Management Department, Logistics Division, you will assist in the management of container inventory. You will be involved in the planning/ positioning of empty, on & off hire containers, collection of detention and demurrage fees , verifications of leasing bills and correspondence with agents on related inventory matters.


Requirement
*Diploma in Maritime Transportation, Business, Logistics & Operations Mgt
*Preferably with 1 year shipping experience in container inventory control
*Possess good communication skills, both written and spoken
*Proficient in MS Office applications

Those who are still in search of jobs can give it a shot. They are recruiting personnel for several positions. Prolly go to their website and drop them a mail.


I'm supposed to do my Starbucks case study. Ended up talking to Dan the entire night. Having my dark chocolate and Baileys on the rock.


Well, good night everyone. I'm tired. My bed's calling me.


Good night, my love. Hugs.

4 More Days

iTunes is now playing "Kissing You" by Des'ree from Romeo & Juliet soundtrack.


All I had was a sms from her this late afternoon. At least she has safely reached her destination. Didn't want to call her, 'cus dunno what time she would be playing the piano. To date, she's the only person I know who can sight read effortlessly. *so impressed*


I miss her. There are so many moments I wish she could be here. So many things to say. Guess I will have to wait.


It took 4 days for 2 departments and a few other personnel from other departments to know I've tendered.


Anyway, I wanted to be quiet about it, wanted to see the power of gossip. All I can say is news travel. Was nice to have some of 'em wishing me the best. But found it funny when one of 'em got upset with Jesica, 'cus the latter didn't inform her. People can be so funny sometimes.


Not 4, but 3 more days to submission date of assignment. Met up with the 2 girls this evening but ended up me editting their work. I haven't even started on mine. Would have to think about Starbucks and dream about Starbucks for the next couple of days. Anyway, the other time I was walking Gerrie back to her building, I sampled their chocolate chip mocha which was fantastic.


Went to m1 this evening. V3x is now retailing only at $298, but it's all outta stock. Was kinda disappointed but I guess I can make do with the present one. A phone can only do this much for me. But a phone call from Gerrie would really make my day.


*Call me please. I'm such a manwhore.*


Edit: Thanks Dear for calling. Don't sound too happy tonight. Sigh. Good night. I love you.


Growing fatter each day. And the Mail Order Bride succeeded in making me feel like a pig. She's been eating so healthily and running. The last time she recorded her timing was 3km in 15mins. That's a respectable timing.


Excerpt:


"If you want to date the person who posts this, post a comment saying "I'm yours."


If you just want to sleep with the person and stay friends, post a comment that says "I'd hit it."


Comments will be screened! This sounds like fun.."


Any takers?


Blackathy, 10:36 PM


5 More Days

Gerrie had her half day off this afternoon. Was nice to lunch with her. Had wanted to take off as well, but was afraid Jesica couldn't handle the work load, plus I had made an appointment with Daphne.


After work, I went straight to her place. Ever since her dad gave me his remote control to their house, parking is made so much easier. Used to have to ask her maid to open the gate.


Gerrie: Hi Shanti, can you...


Shanti: Open the gate?


Gerrie: Haha, yes.


Now, if Blackathy is dirty, would have no issue. Just use the water hose and spray. Much to Gerrie's disapproval though.


Sent Gerrie and her mom to church and spent a couple of minutes talking to her before she had to board the bus.


Till Monday,


no more talking to her on the phone every night


no more lunches with her


no more going out with her


no more of "I don't like you"


no more slapping of butt cheeks


no more hugs and kisses


To make the weekend more exciting, I have a project to submit, exams to prepare for, to read the Code of Conduct and submit the forms to Peiting, and to find out about investment plans so that I would be prepared when I meet Liru.


Some plan uh.

Portugese Love Theme

Lots of things in my mind. Was feeling quite low when suddenly the background music played. I don't know about you all but the music doesn't always play when I'm checking 'Ride With Blackathy'. Maybe viruses had decided to poison my PC. Nevertheless, the music cheered me a little. Dunno if Gerrie even had the time or chance to hear it.


(Sidetrack. JJ, glad you like the song too. It's too beautiful beyond words. I guess it's the meaning behind the song where the man went against language barriers, fought his insecurities and fears and ran to find the love of his life. The song starts off slow and then it reaches a stage where all feelings flow and that's the orgasm part.)


Would like to thank Gerrie for accomodating my lunch hour. Have been meeting her for lunch for these 2 days. Used to run out during *ahem* unofficial hours to lunch with her, but Jesica wasn't too happy about it and Boss happened to send us all an email about punctuality today. Tomorrow would be the last day I would see her this week. Hopefully we can lunch again. Yes Dear, would be sending you and your mom off tomorrow evening.


I don't exactly know how to make a girl happy. Or to make her smile when she's sad. I am so pathetic when it comes to telling jokes. Yes, even lame ones.


KB was so nice today to have come pick me up to have supper. Tonight's talk made me realise the importance of saving. Been spending too much this year. Received a statement from POSB stating my expenditure this year amounts to $12,000 to date. Yet to receive a statement from UOB. Sigh. Prolly have to reconsider my priorities.


There's this financial planner, Liru, who kept calling me. I don't know what I had done but she somehow comprehended that I was interested in meeting her. Sales people can be so funny sometimes.


Oh, I was shocked this afternoon when I was asked to pay $8.40 for 4 passport-sized photos. I thought the market rate is only $6. Sianz.


But I got a pretty nice deal today. I got a Bed Head Manipulator wax for only $28! Years of using Reds' $45 wax have been making me broke. So finally... decided to make a switch of brands. I dunno about you guys, but I don't like Gatsby. Ask any hair stylist and they would say it's a no-no.


Got so many things to get/do.


By July, would like to:


1. Get 2 pair of pants from Zara
2. Alter my Zara jacket and pants
3. Send 2 of my Zara jackets for dry-cleaning
4. Cleanser, moisturizer
5. Thread my eyebrows


And by the end of this year, would like to:


1. Get a pair of black pointed leather shoes (I adore the way H5BC bankers dress!!!)
2. Get a pair of specs


Another day has gone by. Am going to bed soon. Have I said I love my bed? No matter how I stretch my legs and hands, I can never cover the ends of the bed.


Nights. Happy 20 06 2006.

Relationships

Sandralicious posted this:



"Then it dawned on me. He always knew the right thing to say or do. In a way, he was flawless, and i couldn't handle that. This is ridiculous. firstly no one is flawless, and 2ndly, what's wrong with that? But i did feel that he was too perfect. And as a young girl with too many imperfections and so much to learn, nothing felt deserved, and that was the main reason it didn't work out."


Isn't life contradicting?


I guess there is no such thing as a flawless person, but a partner who accompany and help you through the journey of life.


For now, I thank Gerrie for her encouragement. All of us are defined into socioeconomic groups, pressurizing us to outdo each other, scrambling up the corporate ladder, to fight for top dollars, and in search of fame and power. Caught dead in the rat race, found ourselves trapped in a nightmare of labyrinthine process of procuring LVs and Pradas to fill up the void space in our lives. Yet at the very same time, reminding ourselves not to cross the threshold to preserve sanity.


There are also many of us who view the future as bleak, not knowing what we really want or like to pursue. Dreams and reality, money and interests... often have to be compromised.


Gerrie has never pressurized me but she definitely made me want to be a better person. Would like to thank her for asking me along this evening with her UQ friends. But I thought the time spent at Starbucks was better.


Sidetrack... congrats to Eddy. Was nice to see him on his first day at 0CBC. Was also great to see Derek and JJ. Take care people.


10 more months to completion of degree. 13 more months before I start making my 3rd career move.


Life goes on.

Daddy's Day

Bought 2 phones this week. A N6280 for dearest daddy and a V3x for my dearest Gerrie. Yup, I'm still stuck with my picked-it-up-on-New-Year's-Day-but-dunno-wtf-model phone. No, cyj, see... I'm not rich. I don't dine at Meritus Mandarin. No, Eddy, I don't spend girls' money.




Technology continues to baffle me. I'm as stupid as a caveman when it comes to tech stuff. I was so impressed when my asst. manager showed me the traffic flow at the Causeway live from his N80.


Many users have been blue-toothing audio files, short video clips - explicitly aka p0rn. The last time I transferred something was centuries ago, via infrared. My phone can prolly be used as a vibrator.


K, that sounded sick.


No matter what 3G can do for us, it still can't beat the feeling of meeting someone in person. Dad, Gerrie and I had a wonderful dinner tonight, but it would be made complete if Mom and Theresa were there. Wondering if Mom's having a great time in Mongolia.


Nevertheless, hope Dad's happy tonight. Thanks, Dad, for everything. Happy Father's Day.


Would want to thank Gerrie for spending her time with me. Would be missing you this week. Enjoy yourself. May God grant you all journey mercy as you do His work. I know you would play well this weekend. Love you.


Night everyone.


Blackathy, 10:41 PM


Happy Birthday, Venky

Was up early in the morning and went for a medical check-up at Raffles Place.







Was very impressed by the clinic, which was superb big. After I got a queeue number, I have to wait for my turn to have the registration processed. There was a total of 6 counters! They even have an in-house lab to test urine and blood.


After which, I had my eyesight tested, and my height and weight recorded. So ashamed that I have put on so much weight. I'm over 60kg already! Had my x-ray done, seen the doctor and in an hour, everything was done.





Went on to meet the girls at Coffee Bean. So much for slacking on a Saturday. Was actually looking forward to Awfully Chocolate but they didn't open today so the next best alternative is a mocha.


Still... nothing beats having lunch with Gerrie. Poor girl has to work this morning and we had to compromise our time for the next few weeks. She had to go home to practise her piano while I returned back to CB to meet the girls.


Took Blackathy out for a ride after a wash. Went shopping alone. Something tells me I'm becoming like an uncle, learning to bargain prices. Something I don't do in the past.


I went to Sim Lim to look for a FM Transmitter to play my iPod in Blackathy. Interestingly, prices seemed to get cheaper as you 'escalate' the building. Some shops were selling those transmitters for like $50-140. Found the cheapest one for $29.90.


Felix: Can go lower anot?


Seller: Can. Give you $26 lor.


Felix: $25 lah.


Seller: Ok lah.


There was once I even helped Gerrie saved a cool hundred bucks.


Earlier, Venky had sent me an invitation card to his birthday party at Grassroots Club.Shopped the entire Bugis but I couldn't find anything nice to give to Venky. Ended buying him a shirt at Zara Marina Square.


Had 7 guys reporting directly to me back in the army, and Venky is considered one of the closest.


One of the many exercises we went with '04 Bravo




Be it in office or outfield, we went through the lows and the downs together, shared problems together and no matter how screwed up he was or how I fucked him, we still remained brothers.


Venky's 21st birthday party was amazing. Not quite the usual party I attended before.







Machiam I have stepped into a traditional 1ndian wedding lidat lar!


The crowd was huge!







He has his personal DJ, professional photographer, waiters and wait, you're not going to believe this!







His own dance entourage! How cool was that!







Even his dad became the emcee, hosting the 'How well do you know Venka' segment, which was rather interesting. But I guess the highlight of the day was when they showed his childhood photos.


So cute!


So shall take this chance to say I'm so proud of you.


From this slacker boy,







You've transformed into this fine gentleman. Study hard in NUS.







Happy birthday, Venky.


Raced to meet Gerrie. Was so apologetic for making her wait. Felt so bad I couldn't see her mom home. Felt so stupid for not being sensitive enough to know she actually wanted me to watch her perform.


I'm terribly sorry, my darling.


The rest of the night was magical. The place was enchanting. But you were stunning.


Thank you for looking so beautiful tonight.


It has been such a long time the both of us went for dates. As a couple, you do many stuff together. You go shopping, you watch movies... but I wouldn't really consider 'em dates. If you go shopping, half the time spent would be on walking, and then the rest of the time looking at stuff.


Going on dates means taking extra effort to dress up, go somewhere nice for drinks and be romanced. To be lost in your own world.


The two of us wouldn't be seeing each other at all for the whole of next week. Uploaded the background music for her. If you have watched Love Actually, you would have identified the song.





A song about finding love, finding hope. Gerrie and I might have lost ten years, but I believe we can have the rest of our lives to rediscover each other.


Love Actually is such a beautiful show. One of the best romantic comedy ever made.


Guys can learn so much from it. Take this for example.





So beautiful, yet such a sad scene.


Let me end this post by this clip.





It's so heartwarming to know there is someone out there waiting for you to discover. A hug can do wonders. It's not just the touch, but souls are interwoven to become one.


You know what?


I might just watch Love Actually now again. Go get the dvd if you haven't watch it yet.


Night.

Crap

Been out with the guys recently. Just yesterday, I had dinner at Waraku with the boys, JJ and Derrick. Was quite disappointed that the potato mentai was kinda 'fishy' and the serving of my rice was so small. Went on to meet Gary and Rick, who updated me on the recent happenings of the other guys.


And tonight I had dinner with Lian He, an ex-officer of Bravo. Was nice to see that fella again. Was once Garrick's favourite guy and I had worked with him during NDP 05. We talked about how future would be like and how pathetic salaries can be these days. We went, "Ya, how to get married like that?"


Everywhere you go, you hear guys talking about the World Cup.







Have you seen my balls?





If you don't happen to know the results of the matches, look around for hints. This morning, I happened to see a car decorated with England flags.


There are some people who have all the time to watch football, just like Edhorizon and cyj. There are some who are damn super. Watched all matches, yet still can go work the next day.





Superman's too tired to fly




World Cup is also the season to openly declare your love for guys. There are some guys who watch matches alone at home.


Warning: Choosing to experience orgasm at home can be painfully lonely.





Some choose to do it in pairs. Unfortunately, with another male.


"Screw you!"

"No! Screw you!"

"Wtf! Screw us!"







Of course, there are those who do it in groups.


C'mon boys, let's push.




Nah, guys don't interest me at all. Footballs aren't the only things that are round.






So, let's talk about things closer to my heart. Haven't been seeing Gerrie recently, except for lunches and a couple of dinners. Someone got this. Nice.






Anyway, just a couple of days ago, this blog enjoyed 400 hits and it increased by 300 today. But still no comments.


I guess my readers are becoming smart for their own good.


Appreciate women's worth. Just keep silent, keep paying and you'll be safe.


Cheers.

Good Night




I'm all alone in my room now. She's not here to say, "Good night."


Neither would she be here to say, "Good morning."


No one to make me breakfast.


Dad and I would be going work straight from home tomorrow morning.


Mom's off to Mongolia.


My bed is calling me now. Good night world.


I love my bed.


P.S. Am still waiting for your views.


Tell us what are the things girls do that annoy you. Doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl.





Enjoy.





Nice. I've wasted 5 mins of your life.

Singaporean Girls

I'm disappointed.


No one bothers to give comments to the previous posts. Wassup?


Gracias to Gerrie Dear, JonnyBoy, cyj (though I don't understand what you're driving at) and rice.


This time round, let's talk about girls.





Bitch about them and their dressing. Pin-point their behaviour. I don't care. Just spit out whatever you want to say.


My views later.


For now, fantasize here.

Singaporean Men Part 2




A male celebrity once said, "If a guy tells you he has never watched porn, he's lying."


It doesn't take a scum or a perfect gentleman to think of sex. Nor does it take a Fiona Xie to make men go ga-ga. Men in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and even gender preferences, think and desire sex.


The book Eleven Minutes however suggested that men are not born to think of sex. It's the media that leads us to want sex. It shows provocative pictures or clips to make us think it's only manly to demand sex. There are men who kiss and tell on their encounters. And men worship those of higher sex drives or those who have more experiences, especially with different ladies.


But I beg to differ. Cavemen did not have TVCs nor Playboys. Men are just horny by nature. It's funny though that we don't define the strength of a male by his muscles, but by his libido.


Singap0rean men. It's really hard to define or generalise us. On the whole, we respect the ladies. Or at least we are bounded by laws and do not commit lewd acts. But to me, respect has taken to a much higher level.


Indecorousness simply tells that one is not well-mannered. It's preposterous to even think by behaving 'within the boundaries', we are respecting the ladies. To respect them, we appreciate their worth.


Alicia Keys sums it all:


You will lose if you choose to refuse to put her first
She will if she can't find a man who knows her worth

Cuz a real man knows a real woman when he sees her
And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her
And a real woman knows a real man always comes first
And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth



Singap0rean men, fine, most men don't understand the importance of appreciating a woman. Ladies don't buy clothes, put on make-up and perfume, take tons of time to choose the right bag and the right pair of shoes to match her outfit just so to look pretty in front of the mirror. She wants to look good for you. If she looks good, you look good.


If this is a revelation to you, you can go bang the wall.


"Then how ah? Tell her she look pretty ah?" you ask.


Courtesy is important. Like the campaign, it all starts with you. To me, not dressing up for a date is considered rude. Imagine a girl looks forward to have dinner with you and you come dressed in tee and slacks, what would that say of you?


If you're wearing a pair of slippers and I am a girl, I prolly take it and slap your face.


Just this morning, I spotted a man, who was in his office attire. See if you can tell what's wrong with him.





First observation, wrong footwear. Slippers are for wet markets and beaches.


Second observation, wrong choice of bag. Don't underestimate what a bag can do or says about you. Don't ever, in any circumstances, carry a canvas backpack when dressed in shirts. Sad to say, most men are still doing it.


Thirdly, what you carry in your hands can also tell many things about you.


Dressing is just one part of it. Behaviour comes next. There are guys who pick their noses in public. There are also guys who have uncontrollable urge to shake their legs while sitting down. Worse, there's a guy in class who takes off his shoes, exposes his WHITE pair of socks, plays with his toes and somehow loses his sense of smell, not knowing it stinks.


Furthermore, courtesy entails our speech. Sweet talk may spice things up but excessive of it would just speak of your credibility. The last thing you would want to do is to brag. A natural conversationalist would put her at ease.


Now, let's talk about dinners. Girls don't expect you to bring them to foodcourts in their GG5s. Even if money is a constraint, bring her somewhere decent. There are so many places that aren't awfully expensive yet provide excellent atmosphere. In fact, ask for her opinion. Get to know her taste. But if she wants you to pick a place, be decisive and choose one. Don't say, "I anything one lah." You would sound like an idiot. And most importantly, pick the tab. You date her, you pay for it.


If you drive, pick her up from her place and also drive her home. It's basic courtesy. Open doors for her, ask her what type of music she likes (see... another topic to dwell upon), ask if the temperature is too low.


Even if you don't drive, offer to send her home. It becomes your responsibility that she's safe. Besides, taxis are everywhere.


As for what the guys had done for Irene's friend, I thought it would be unncessary to rent a car for the first date. We on one hand would like to make a good impression, but it's more economical to take a cab. It also shows you got common sense. Duh.


To make the first date a success, be yourself. It's important that you keep things within your budget and not try to be too showy. In fact, before Gerrie and I started out, I told her I may not meet every of her demands, given my present situation, but I would provide for her within my means. Not all girls are that materialistic to want to eat at Les Amis. (Most of 'em earn more than us anyway. They are not looking for prospective husbands, but someone they can feel comfortable with. Someone who can make them happy.) Just have fun and see how things go. To show how sincere you are, tell her abit of yourself and perhaps share something that you wouldn't have dared to tell others. That would mean something to her.


Let's talk about sex. Even if sex is on the cards, forget it. Don't make any moves, especially on the first few dates. Don't even make any sexual comments. Any self-respecting lady would find you a turn-off. She'll prolly be gone even before you could utter, "Let's bed."


Girls are horny too. The way I interpret what Irene wrote is that her friend is amused no guys have made any attempt whatsoever to even suggest they want to lay her and she's starting to question her attractiveness or rather the lack of it.


If you're such a charmer, or that both of you are hopelessly in love, I guess a peck on the cheeks would do nicely to end the night. If the kissing gets too hot, don't stick your bloody tongue down her throat. Wait for her to put hers in yours.


If you don't plan to see her again, forget what I wrote.

Singaporean Men

Was looking at MCF and this thread got my attention. A fellow car lover, Irene wrote this:


"My very good fren started to know some guys from SDU and is going out with them almost every other night. Seems like singaporean men are really very very generous. ALL guys who dated her will buy her dinner in restaurants and offer to send her home. Even no car will go and rent one. Are they plain desperate or singaporean men just wanna make themself look generous... in the beginning of a friendship? Just to add on, ALL are decent men and doesnt request for sex. All are gentlemen. If there are so many nice ppl in SDU, how come so many single women around?"


Tell me your views.


Mine later.

Mummy, Saturday Is Over!

Mas Que Nada f/ Black Eyed Peas


Need advice about wallets and leather goods? Visit here. A good read.


Gerrie woke me up from my sleep this morning. Supposedly to go to work, her eye decided to give her a little trouble and she ended up at the doctor's. And that earned her 2 days MC. No work on Sat and Sun. =)


Despite having lunch before heading to her place, we spent a lazy afternoon at Shaw's TCC 2 hours later. We had potato wedges dipped with melted cheese. Was excellent. JJ, Weng Onn and Derek arrived later and so we had another serving of Shrooms Bite.


So fattening can! And on top of that, I was having Mocha Villa. Everything was perfect, except for the bill.


We were at Taka's Dunhill where this Indonesian man (and his family) was looking at the d-eight collection. I joked that we could make a little by buying one from DFS and then sell him prolly a hundred bucks cheaper than retail price. That way, we still can earn a hundred bucks. Glad I didn't make that proposition.


'Cus Derek can get discount no more! Was so sad can.


Gerrie and I was at Dunhill, selecting the bags. We made the salesgirl take out 4 new bags for us to choose. Then suddenly Derek popped the bad news. Sianz. K, it's more than sianz.


Is damn fucking sianz!


Could have saved $150. But I thought LV and Loewe were too costly, and Gucci too common, so I decided to go ahead with my purchase.


Was suffering from post-purchase dissonance can. I felt so heart-pained even till now, considering this is one of the biggest splurge. I was tellin' myself I could have gotten 4 RL polo tees with that $150. Earlier on, I even had the RL counter pack the polo tee.


Had also reserved the Dunhill last night from the Bags section but ended up buying from the boutique. Both the Bags and RL counters must be cursing at me. But if I would to make a fairly big purchase, might as well get the pampering from the boutique right! Ha, and I got 2 Dunhill paper bags!


Can put 'em over my head on my next visit to DFS. Damn malu lar!


(Still... I would like to say a big gracias to Derek and JJ for shopping with me for the past 2 days. Really appreciate it. A pity couldn't meet up with cyj and tau pao. Also, a sorry to KB for not meeting up. Benjamin and the rest of the guys too. Apologies.)


The ills of retail therapy.


This GSS bruff people one. Name me one good deal.


Don't have right?


Even Ben thought his $339 19" Viewsonic was a good buy. Until I told him Harvey Norman Suntec was selling over $270 only. Same brand, same size, same model, same building. Different price.


And I STILL can't believe I got cheated at Raoul. Kaoz. No more of that. It shall be Alain Figaret or Alain Figaret.


Somehow I was destined to be a bankrupt today. Is3tan decided to charge me over $10 for parking can. Super sianz.


En route to my place, Gerrie and I decided to find a 'ear digger', so we popped by Ikea and walked to Anchorpoint. These 2 buildings don't sell any of these diggers lar! But the trip wasn't wasted. Had wings and spag with swedish meatballs. Lovely.


Was at her place later and she happened to have a 'ear digger'. Managed to remove a super big wax for me. Sheesh. Don't tell people hor. Later I got no face. In that case, the Dunhill paper bags would really prove to be useful.

To Joyce

We always wonder why everything had gone wrong in our lives.


If only I have done this...


If only I have not done that...


"If. A two-letter word for futility.


The future was clay, to be molded day by day, but the past was bedrock, immutable."


- Sidney Sheldon, author of 'Master of the Game'

Bag Me

Ryan and Andy were really nice today. Texted me to remind me of the good times we had 3 years ago. The day we were sold into slavery enlisted into the army. The day we had our hair shaved. Miss you guys alot too.


Finished 'Master of the Game'. An excellent read. I love Sidney Sheldon's works, till I realised his writing style never really wavers and you could even guess who the outcome of the story. But 'Master of the Game' was different. An enchanting story.


It's always about the rich wanting more power, and it somehow fascinates me how the socialites live their lives.


Had went shopping at DFS with Gerrie, Derek and JJ.


There isn't any reason why you should shop there. There aren't much sales, except for certain items. The only thing worth getting would be a Loewe circular coin purse priced at $128 after a 30% discount.


Gucci's sales has started, but you prolly would be happier at Paragon or Taka's. There isn't much range at DFS, unless you're interested in handphone straps.


Am interested in getting a Dunhill though.






This Dunhill d-eight messenger bag comes in signature brown & black coated waterproof canvas with rich dark brown tumbled cowhide leather trims.


Please tell me if it's nice or not. No sale for this model though.


Am considering another option, but couldn't find it in Dunhill's website. Boss has it though. Would you carry a bag that your boss is using?


Comes with black leather front flap, with beige canvas.


Would be going down later again with the boys.


For those shopping at Citylink tomorrow, here's a great deal.





Print this out and present it to the salesperson. It pays to read Blackathy.


--> Had bought durians back home. $8 each. But the seller was nice enough to charge me $20 for 4 of 'em. He even put it for me into packets upon my request. I ended up bringing home 4 packets! Nice!


Oh my. Malaysia's hottest blogger, Mamoyo, was here. Sweet. Prolly 'cus I put up her vid on the fake orgasm. Oopx.

The World Cup

1 more day to the commencement of the World Cup. The entire world is anticipating.


Teams have been practising hard. Really hard.





Some have been waiting for years. To have a glimpse of their favourite men.





How erm... erotic.


Some think they can bend it like Beckham.





Even dogs want to be part of the fun!





Don't you think it looks abit like Cookie? Difference is Cookie prefers to play with his own balls.


Joking.


Germany's now worried about 3 problems: hooligans, terrorists and neo-Nazis.But the best thing about World Cup is cashing in the people's money. Just imagine how many people are in Germany now. Hotels, restaurants, brothels, airlines, retail shops. All waiting to pounce on the consumers.


Suddenly, you could even see an increase in humurous commercials.





It's all about the atmosphere. About the world coming together to support their countries.





I'm just glad the footballs aren't the only thing that bounce.





With the males glued to the telly, no wonder the girls are upset.





Girls, it's the best time to go shopping now. Mid-night shopping at DFS, Bugis, Suntec and Citylink.

Louis Vuitton




Was terribly busy in the afternoon. Haven't had much time to read 'Master of the Game'. Heh. Let's not talk about work.


Was out in 'My Paper' that every 4 persons who buy branded stuff, 1 would have gotten a Ralph Lauren before, making it the most bought brand. In fact, 25% has gotten a piece of RL. DKNY, Gucci and Louis Vuiton ranked after it.


However, Louis Vuitton is the most sought after brand,with 43% desiring it. RL, Gucci, Emporio Armani and DKNY ranked after LV.





There are some people who says buying a brand is buying a piece of its history also.


In 1911, when Titanic sank to the bottom, a Louis Vuitton bag was retrieved. When the bag was opened, no single drop of water has sipped through it.


Another miraculous story was that one fine day, a man's house caught fire and everything was destroyed. A Louis Vuitton Monogram Glace bag was found, burnt of course, but with its contents left untouched.


With over 152 years of history, Louis Vuitton is still going strong and remains a legend. An enigma. Its canvas used is the same as those for painting purposes and its PVC are waterproof and they are able to retain its original look over time.


In fact, Louis Vuitton has kept on extending its product line, with Tulum and Tikal being the most recent ones.





And now, they are targetting at men. Ladies, watch out. In Louis Vuitton's words, "offer him all his desires". I wouldn't be surprised if the ladies in the next generation have to propose to the guys with Louis Vuitton.






"Darling, here's a french cap. Put it on."


Totally romantic.


Girls are just crazy about LV. In fact, they think LV stands for Love! I youtubed for Louis Vuitton and this came out.





Totally inspiring. Don't you think she has totally wasted 45 seconds of your life?


I did.

To give up University of Chicago for NUS? Purlease! She kena rejected by all except the said university issit?


I'm surprised that 'mom' knew we don't have chewing gums here. I was almost expecting her to say, "Singapore? Where sia? Take sampang go one ah?"

Tuesday With Blackathy




Something tells me Tuesday is not good either.


But one kind gesture from Jesica brightened up my day. I got free breakfast! Yey!


Received a msn from someone who reminded me what we promised each other prior to the commencement of the degree course. Appreciate it, really. At least 9 more months before graduation. Yup, would put in the same zest as we did before. Especially when International Finance is murdering me.


On a different note, congratulations to Thomas who has graduated from RMIT with distinctions.


If I had opt to take a different route, I would have became a RMIT graduate last year. Oh well.


I'm used to glances but ladies really ought to keep their hands to themselves. Thank you very much.


Night everyone.

Chasing Monday Blues




I thought the best way to chase away the Monday blues was to un-blue myself.


Something tells me apparently it doesn't.


Was so glad when the day ended. Got a little surprised by Gerrie who later appeared at my building. Awfully Chocolate made our day.





Went to Suntec to meet WK. Spent almost an hour at Lee Hwa to help him pick an engagement ring. Learnt quite abit on choosing the types of diamonds. Didn't know Lee Hwa has bought over Goldheart though.


The sales guy said that diamonds from Lee Hwa and Tiffany is the same: GIA certified. The price difference is due to the brand and the setting itself.


Lee Hwa sells Destinee range as well. Which is a brand by itself. Just that 'cus Lee Hwa is a public-listed company and has won the rights to sell these diamonds. Definitely more expensive, as it takes months to cut the diamonds. Lee Hwa's 1 carat diamonds are going for $16 - 17k, whereas Destinee's are $19k onwards.


Weddings are such costly affairs.


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


Life is like buying diamonds. Sometimes we just have to compromise on certain things. When it comes to buying diamonds, we need to work out our budget. From there, we can ascertain the size and the clarity of the diamonds. Most of us do not have the luxury to be able to choose both size and clarity of the diamonds without compromising on the prices.


In life, we learn to compromise and accept how things work or turn out. But hardly could we find ourselves sitting back and enjoy how stories unfold itself.


As I watch WK picked out a 0.45 carat ring, I looked back at the past. We were best buds in school. And now, 12 years later, at the age of 27, he has his career, and is about to propose to the lady of his life.


I got excited for him, thinking when it would be my turn.


For now, I have promised to help him pick his clothes. I am an individualist. I believe in my style, though I hate it when others try to copy. The more people love a particular thing, the more I detest it.


But on a special occassion like this, I wouldn't mind.


If only I have listen to my heart and did fashion.


Guess we can't have everything in life. Learn to compromise and accept the way things turn out to be.

Before And After Photos

My mom loves 'Da Chang Jing' so much she watched the entire episode three times. The show, no matter how interesting, did not arrest my attention to watch all of it. But the costumes, the funny hair-do, the palace, the houses they lived in amuses me. They are not what we see everyday. In fact, I never had the chance to see 'em before.


K0reans are cunn1ng people. Why so? They have the entire world to believe that they are beautiful people. Just look at their actresses with their snow-white flawless skin complexion.


Think 'Ah Chang' looked beautiful in the show?











She looked hotter in real person!











How unfair.


Not convinced? 'Ah Lie' is a plain Jane in the show. But see how she looks like in reality.











Look so much sweeter and demure. Just look at those eyes!











Also, suddenly even 'Lian Sheng' is transformed into this little angel.








Do all Korean girls look so pretty, you ask.





It's a conspiracy! K0reans want us to believe they all look like that, that they are the dark horses of Asia (it somehow contradicts, 'cus they are fair people. But nvm.) They want the entire Asia to benchmark against them.


But before you groan in despair, fret not. Old photos of celebrities have surfaced to make us feel better about ourselves. Suddenly, we realise how make-up or botox could enhance or redefine our features.











Take this guy for example. With thick eye brows, puppy eyes and floppy messy hair, girls go "Aww... so cute". Just like the same way I call my dog.











So from here we can conclude, to look good, we need to pay attention to our appearances. Girls to have long hair, maintain the eyebrows, the make-up, the clothes and most importantly, photoshop! Heh.


Girls generally spend more effort in their appearances, but can't say the same for guys. Was looking through Friendster for the past hour and I could only nominate 3 persons who look good. How sad.


Anyway, here goes....


Firstly, there's Daniel who maintains his eyebrows and he's always in search of good hairstylists. Would be better if he learns to dress up.


Then there's Jackson who is considerably a stylish dresser. But he ought to stop smoking, which is taking a toll on him.


And there's Benjamin. Love his hair! And he and his girlfriend look good together.


Back to the 'Before and After' photos...


To the 2 colleagues who said I look like Bae Yong Jin, open your eyes and take a second look. I don't see any resemblance. Look at how he looked like when he's much younger.











More like a dork.





It's not easy to be me k! I don't have any make-up or hair artist and I don't use photoshop. I'm so convinced I would look more charming as I age.











To be me, you have to be born cute.











And everybody says, "Aww...."





Have hair like my dog.











And yet look like a bloody goldfish at the same time.











Don't you just love 'Before and After' photos? Nights.
