How? Love or Wed first?

I was just reading an article about love.

To fall love and get married…
(Happily for a few years, love falls, passion dies off, emotion disappears, divorce added to dictionary)

To get married and fall in love…
(Traditional way, chemistry is built, good foundation, double boiled commitment, stronger every day)

So which do you think is the right process?
(Being in the technological field for so long, technical jargons are inevitable, please forgive me)

My view?

There is no hard and fast rule to love.
" Where is comes to emotion, females are complex, males are simple.
When it comes to commitment, females are simple, males are complex. "

Picked up from somewhere: “Wedding is just a day, Marriage is a lifetime”
I totally agree with that statement.

Three minutes passion are what we are famous for. To have that kind of passion to last us a lifetime, we will need to purchase galleons of fuel. And recently, the prices are not helping.

So we will need a lot of different fuel to keep the passion going, that explains the commitment, being complex.
(I would like to clarify that different fuel doesn’t = different partners, I hope you know what I mean)

To wrap things up, Love or Wed, which is first, is up to you.
If you can’t decide, let me have, the honour to, choose for you.
(I hope you know what I mean)

The dating agencies didn’t FORCE you to turn up for dates.
The bullets that you have shot with the missing empty shells, prepare your signature.
The ROM agency is always open. All you need is to be above 18 years old.

Marriage is a serious commitment, if you ain’t serious, don’t hide, advertise!

To marry is permanent -

How to impress a girl?

Capture her heart.
Cast obsession spells on her.
Drown her with her dreams.


That is all you need to know and of course, DO IT.
However, if you wanna take one step further, I will teach you how.

Warning!: Please use the approach with caution, you might want to identify the stage that you are at, before making the appropriate move. All suggestions provided applies to different stages of BGR or LGC or even HWB.

Hitch Rule #1: Always allow her to make the decision, but offer your options.

You don’t want to look like a wimp or someone who doesn’t have any sense of direction or the ability to make simple plans. Throw your options, sniff her response, make the move.

My Suggestion #:
Singapore is so small, where can you go? Not City Hall, then Orchard Road, then Bugis, something new? YES, of course there are: Labrador Park, Changi Beach Park, etc. If you want somewhere near the city, you can even try the Outstanding Istana Park. :P (I think you will need a lot of face if not, at least some public holiday)

Hitch Rule #2: If you wanna do it right, do it best.

My Suggestion #:


Now that Hong Kong is going have their own Disney land, I advised you to book the tickets online via http://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/ (HEY!, do I get a free pair of tickets to your opening?) and create an opportunity to invite her over. Magic might just happen over there. Even if she don’t like the mouse, she will definitely like the shopping there. :P

I know this is going to cost a bomb, as I said earlier, do it right, do it BEST. Let her feel that she is being pampered. FEEL only, the rest is up to you. Hahahaha
(If you don’t know how to read Chinese, here is the English link http://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/eng/index.html)

Be sincere, be nice, be straightforward. Period. (If you don’t have enough cash, just ASK her to fork out some, don’t be a hero, it always ends up zero)

The most challenging response from her will be:
“Why are you so good to me all of a sudden? Did you do something wrong behind my back?”

Option #1: “FINE!, I will fly with someone else then.”
Option #2: “Japan is too far and expensive, I can only afford Cathay Pacific”
Option #3: “YES! I did something behind you back, that is to sneak online and buy you the tickets.”
Option #4: “What all of a sudden? I have always been nice, just that you didn’t realise.”
Option #5: “I want to spend precious moments with you exploring new creations around the world.
Option #6: “I will tell you the reason when we get there OK?” (Prepare your ring, you know what to do, ok?)

Lastly: “What if I don’t have a girl yet?”
Blind date on Class 95, pretty babe, parents required actively in courtship to demostrate Filial Piety.
(Must See: http://class95.mediacorpradio.com/lovesongs.htm)

Take care.

To love, you need to make first.
To hate, you need to love first.

LGC – Ladies & Gentleman Coupleship
HWB – Husband & Wife Babyship

Maid, can you live without?

Recently, a lot of commotions on maids have been discussed.
Perhaps until now, many are still unaware what a definition of MAID is.

Maid (noun.)
Human-being assigned to relieve workloads of the common household tasks not including the cleaning of luxury items such as cars, estates other than HDB flats, helpout at food stalls and provision stores, carrying extreme shopping/grocery bags of weirdos walking empty handed and to provide elderly care assistance with adequate off days at least 1-4 days a month

[Employer’s Views]
Maids ill-treating their employers children, looting their valuables, conjure a break-in, etc.

[Maid’s Views]
Ill-treat and abusing, no off days, carrying out duties excluding from the agreements, etc

Who is right and who is wrong?

[To Employers]
If you are afraid of losing this and that, then don’t hire a maid.
If you filthy rich and want to live a comfortable life, don’t hire a maid
If you are well off, not that rich, yet wishing for a comfortable life, don’t hire a maid
If you think maid = slave, go fly a kite! All your education is wasted, don’t hire a maid
If you think you can get cheap labour to assist (outside the job scope) you, don’t hire a maid
If you don’t have respect for humans, you are none better, don’t hire a maid
IF you think you are plain lazy to do all the chores, HELL, you should go. Don’t bring along the maid.

[To Maids]
Just do your best in your daily activities and highlight any grievances to the relevant authorities and haunt that family. Short. Sweet. Simple.

Before you embark to your nearest agency to window shop for a maid, JUST ask yourself this question.
Why can’t you cope without a maid, where everyone else is doing fine?

[Answers in your mind]
- Everyone else is having one, why not? (Foolish childish thinking)
- She can lighten my load and I can spend more time somewhere (Lame time management excuse)
- I got to work and support my family, condo, car, clubs, etc. (Why are you so devil damn greedy? Take away all the unnecessary “C”s)
- Hectic working schedule till late nights everyday, no time for children. (Exchange cash for time. Money or children, you decide. In any case that you choose money, why bother to have children then?)
- I paid for her job, it’s rightful that I asked the maid to answer my requests. (That’s a slave, not a maid. So, can I pay you double the amount to slog for me? Please reserve your answer for your own question)
- I am f*%king rich, that's none of your business (Wait till she gets berserk, then we shall see who's business that is)
- I have elderly parents at home with daily activities difficulty. (Valid reason. Filial to have your parents staying with you. *Applause with respect*)


All I wanna say is:
Treat them well and you shall be rewarded

And another thing, for those that are having maids now, I’ll bet you cannot survive without them. With or without them, you are just as sore for hiring one in the first place.

- People around you are a reflection of yourself.
If you are so nasty, they won’t be friendly -


(I am so pissed off by all these people, all humans are equal, just that some have bigger arse and holes!)

Dump and the Great Singapore Sale 2005

Great Singapore Sale 2005
Let’s us welcome our national festival of the year with cash, credit & debit cards and NETS!
For those of you who cannot handle it, pass your wallets and purses to me. You can have NRIC back.



For gentlemen, its time to have fun ALONE with all your guy friends, let your wife/girlfriends roar with the sale. Just make sure that they are not holding a supplementary card of yours, otherwise, preventive measure is better than treatment.
Call the bank to request for a credit limit decrease. NOW! Whilst stocks lasts!

For ladies, let your hair down, let your guilt down, let your emotions bring you around.
It’s time to help all the shopping malls to clear their out of fashion goodies and near expiry products. By doing them a favour, they will return by bringing in more new designs, what a great deal.

Don’t know where to start? Just plunge into the Great Singapore Sale Official Website and get yourself off the couch.

When you are feeling hungry, do remember that the “dump” festival is around the corner.
What “dump”?

When you have a wife/girlfriend, you call her DEAR.
To sound better, you address her as Dearling.

When you have a husband/boyfriend, you call him DAR.
To sound better, you address him as Darling.

When you are feeling hungry, you just wanna DUMP everything aside and get your stomach filled.
To sound better, you go for Dumpling.

As rice is our staple food in asian culture, so when we are hungry, what do we turn to?
Rice Dumpling!

Happy Rice Dumpling Festival!


In case you are wondering, when is that happening....erh...
Seriously, I don’t know. I'll be glad if you can provide me the exact date.
I’m an Asian.

Cheerios.

- To shop, is a natural woman's habit
To sleep, is a natural man's habit
To quarrel after the great singapore sale
That will be the singaporean habit -

Words Bite, Don’t Whine – Ez-link at libraries

Words Bite, Don’t Whine is a new section that focuses on daily forum posting on newspapers. Names have been hidden to protect the identity of the bellyache individual.

As posted on 7th June:
Many agencies have included Ez-link as a mode of payment. It is unfortunate that ez-link payment is only available in A FEW community libraries.”

Didn’t “you” already see that the libraries have taken the initiatives to install Ez-link readers for your convenience? Installation is not free, nor instant.

May I ask you a simple question? How many libraries are there in Singapore? (Still counting?) Do you know how thick are the procedures to get approvals for implementing “new projects”? Let me guess: ………. You DON’T!
(As long as they have GOV in them, you should understand, moreover they are FREE! Get a life!)

However, “you” are given the benefit of the doubt that you are ignorant and shall be proclaim = not guilty.

PLUS, just because you DON’T own a cashcard, you expect the whole library to change for YOU? (I’ll bet you must have drank too much George Lam’s Guinness; - To change oneself to suit the environment, or to change the environment to suit oneself? – )

Wouldn’t it be easier if you make a little more effort to WALK to the nearest MAMA (convenience store in Singapore context) shop and get one?

Recently, I was in a library trying to use the photocopying service. CASHCARD was required! I don’t have one. How? Speak Up! (Perhaps I know the exact reason why you WROTE to the forum, oops!) Communicate to strangers! They are bound to response with a smile, if not, do what you do best, COMPLAIN!

Just approach the counter staff to BUY one…
Paid with $7 bucks, got $5 bucks in credit, $2 bucks for souvenir. Viola!

(Now that I have taught you how to, I know that you are going to thank me, so, don’t mention it, you are welcome)

Maybe you should also write another letter to SMRT and say, “Hey why aren’t some of the stations equipped with lift facilities?”
I bet their reply will be: (After the screening of StarWars) “receive! Wait and you shall”

- If you are feeling hurt, I am hurt too
If you are fuming, I am certainly not laughing -
