Thinking post: ROMs and Friends

Monday, April 30, 2007
blog surfing once again. This time around read about another ROM of a friend. That makes up 1 fren with child, 2 ROMed. They are all secondary school friends. While they are the next stage of life of building a home and planning for the future, i am still hanging about; worrying about school, about jobs, about fun. Not in a hurry to settle down.


Marriage, afterall, is a union of 2 people, and their families to accept different values and cultures. What a scary thought if you think of it. It is no longer "You and your Parents" but "You and your Wife/Husband" AND "You and your parents" AND "you and HER/HIS parents'. Complexity of relationships triple.

Certainly, it marks the resolve and committment that a couple has to put in for the next 50(?) years of their life. Arrival of 'bundles of joy' comes and adds in more spices (hopefully, more fragrant and not pungent) to life.

Life. Life. Life. Drats. i realised (again) that i hit 20twenties. becoming an antique soon. Think i should get some age defying cream and some wrinkle free eye lotion later.

I think, i gotta prepare money for angbaos in the next few years.

Essentials of having a
enjoyable relationship. heh


10 things a good boyfriend should know


  1. Let your girlfriend be the princess. YOUR princess. Be gentlemanly, ask about her needs, try to fulfill every whim and fancy. Let her whine if she wants to. Know that it will be reciprocated when your princess feels loved.
  2. Acknowledge how difficult it must be to be a girl. PMS is scientifically proven to be a real phenomenon in women. Being thin is not easy when the female body is programmed to contain a higher fat percentage than the male body. Dressing up is tough, especially so on "bad wardrobe days" when she feels everything looks horrendous on her (although you think she still looks hot). Men don't need to shave armpits, smell nice, pluck eyebrows, scrub their skin, have perfect nails, comb perfect hair. Women do.
  3. Give her the rights she is entitled to, so she never has to look bad asking for them. Treat her as an equal, and those rights you have, she has them too. If she has to fight her way to get those rights (like being heard as an equal), not only will she come across as being un-glam, you will look bad too.
  4. Keep your pride out of your relationship. Apologize when you are in the wrong. Sometimes, apologize when you aren't in the wrong, to maintain peace and harmony. However, never become a doormat, coz there's nothing more unattractive than a spineless man.
  5. Learn from mistakes. Whatever her pet peeves, avoid them.
  6. Watch out for signs. Always be a sensitive man. If she's starting to look disinterested, or not very pleased with something, address the matter immediately. Do not brush it aside coz it will snowball into something bigger ultimately.
  7. Get acquainted with girly terminology. Scrunchie? Elastic band? Hairband? Concealer? Powder? Blusher? Primer? Curler? Eyeliner? Spaghetti straps? Tank tops? Singlets? Camisoles? French manicure? Varnish? Polish? BFF? Ahh?!!
  8. Keep your allies nearby. Her friends are your friends.
  9. Give her what money can't buy. It's surprising how much more valuable simple gifts become when presented as a surprise, and how cheap expensive gifts seem to be when bought without a hint of effort to be romantic.
  10. Be your own man, but let her own a substantial part of you. Your friends are not privy to the rewards you get for being such a nice boyfriend, no wonder they feel sorry for you. When you are ill, the person taking care of you will most likely be your girl. When you are down, the person who lends a listening ear and a comforting shoulder will most likely be your girl. When you are stressed, the person giving you a shoulder massage will most likely be your girl. No harm letting her "own" you.

someone! stop me!

got the urge to book budget flights. it doesnt matter (to me) if anyone is coming along. i want to go a place where it is filled with nature, and exotic sights. shopping is a great deal thrown in too. =)

urgh. i have been loitering at budget websites these few days. and 1@#!@# just a few clicks away from a holiday! -grunt-

hangs head.

i want to escape.

Continual of post..

why this post is titled" someone stop me!" is because .... i know many will be unhappy if i am really to go.

firstly, the places i want to go are developing countries. And, that's the reason why i want to go in the very first place!

secondly, i know its difficult to find ppl who will be interested in those places like me.

thirdly, yes yes yes. its not safe to travel alone. you are a girl. you are so young. what if ppl molest you. what if guys rape u. what if there are ghosts. what if there are accidents. yes yes yes i know.

haiz. trapped. i dont understand why they dont see what i see. Beautiful places with lots of nature. and i am sure they dont understand why i am putting my life at risk.

*shakes head*

save me .. pls..

my backpacking gang.. where art thou?

pooie and me..

pooie and me


pooie says i am fat looking at this photography. he says, "can see that u are fat alrdy. cuz your face is round when you smile." =(

picture taken at sentosa when we went for ph retreat. everyone left the couple alone to roam the sands of sentosa and we ended up walking 3/4 of sentosa. ahhh. from siloso beach to palawan beach.. at night. yikes. saw the merlion. but i dont think merlion. cuz it doesnt puke. haha. this merlion is scary. got red eyes. eew.

ppl came forth and asked if we met because of ph. it quite difficult to answer. cuz we knew each other before in jc. just that the cuppa milo thing somehow brought us closer. but then, hmm, dont really know exactly how to answer the question. so, i let pooie handled it. =)

at the bbq night, they were playing this Truth or Dare game. they asked pooie, how he got to know me. and what's my hottest body part.

he replied, " er... her hottest body part.. ... *drops me a look* "they ask me what is your hottest body part.."

HUH !!!! * blurred* er.... my arms ? or my legs? say something non suggestive!!!

he finally said, " i think her hottest body part is her butt"

RAWR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =.=" *slaps forehead*

A peek into shumie and pooie ..

8am. pooie on the way to work..
me: still sleeping. eyes cannot open. act cute everyday. not pretty.
pooie: punch ur eyes to make them bigger. bye bye dont talk to you already. =). fly away.

POOIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry

Saturday, April 21, 2007
thinking of what to eat for dinner. today is one yr anni for me and pooie. but i pms and quarrel with mom. she ask me to vacuum floor this morning. i just woke up when she returned from market. scolded me cuz i nv help her carry her marketing stuff. i was half awake; walking to the kitchen to rinse my mouth. realised my legs ache. aching from butt down. then, ok, i went to carry stuff.

then she tell me to vacuum floor. i listen but nv response. then she repeat at 1 hr intervals. plus, to unpack my camp stuffs. went to unpack camp stuff after lunch. then take afternoon nap. woke up and heard the vacuum cleaner buzzing. ok, sleep somemore.

woke up, dressed up to meet pooie. and want to go out already. realized no keys. asked where are the keys.

mommy say she dont let me go out. cuz i nv vacuum floor. from morning until now. things she tell me to do i all never do. so cannot go out.

i nv bother arguing. went back to my room. on the air con and called pooie.

thats the end.

heard keys rustling in the background , think they placed it back on the shelf.

doesnt matter. they are looking for a fight, but i ignore them. spoil their fun.

later i find food to eat. i hungry.

becoming a hermit

Friday, April 20, 2007
i dont want to socialise anymore. it's tiring. talking takes efforts. i just want to hear the silence. yet, being silent is wrong. ppl conceive you to be arrogant when u are quiet.

sulkiness.

i want to laze around.

went for retreat which was quite fun. but what was in my mind when i left was the strong msg in my brain that i no longer want to socialise. maybe i am too stuck with my own thinking that i make no efforts to correct myself. stubborn. i realise i do what i like, without caring about others perceptions. no idea good or bad. *hides*

mom set out a list of tasks for me to do today. but i want to sleep more.

this doesnt sound like ta happy post. it sounds like "hides under the covers" post.

poots.

happy anni stinky.

2 days more... Happy anni , stinky!

Wednesday, April 18, 2007
it is a saturday,
a good sunny day.

with me and you,
together in a zoo.

with stinky poo,
and a smelly poot,
all the animals run far away!
pie sings,
up up and away!

pietato waves and poo poots.
doing what they like to do best!

- try to cook.

angry about the injustice

Friday, April 13, 2007
i dont think my project skills are really good. I dont think the projects i do are top notch. i think my standard is average.

and if u are unable to meet an average person's standard for project, it means two things, either or both,

a) you are lousy.
b) you didnt put your heart into it.

ok, i may sound a little too strict and bitchy about standard of work. I DO excuse ppl for special reasons. I will excuse you for a lighter load of work. CAN no PROBLEM. i give you a lighter load. but dont disappoint.

ROAR

Big toe hurts !

My big toe on my left foot HURTS !!!!!!!!! i think it might be some ingrown nail. I took a very close look at my toe but there doesnt seem to be any ingrown nail. THen why is it hurting? =(

this morning when i woke up, it felt fine until i took my first step. KAO EH. still pain. =(

And i resorted to limping everywhere in the house. grrrrr

Under self-realization, do we ever admit our faults or mistakes?
Under those "motivation" themed books, we are told that destiny lies in our hands. Nothing is impossible if we worked for it. However, i came to realise that the world isnot that simple. Hardwork is not equivalent to success, for example. other factors, come into play. If that is so, do we admit our failures to our incompetencies? Or is the reasoning still remains that we didnt try hard enough?

If you have faults and don't try to correct them - then you didn't try hard enough.If you made mistakes and didn't acknowledge them and learn from them - then you didn't try hard enough.Working towards the goal means you work at all aspects of reaching the goal. That means you as well as the target. You can achieve success, but if you aren't ready for it, then you cannot sustain it.The formula is simple: You + desire = Achievement. If YOU are not part of the equation then you are not trying hard enough.

what do you guys think?

in my mind

today a fren revealed her family to me. family secrets? not secrets since she willingly shared it. but secrets cuz it has a dark sinister tinge to it. she is brave to share.

i am not willing (yet) to share my darkest.

glad that my life is boring up till now. and not filled with too much ups and downs. more ups yes. more downs no. like u take moving average of 3 months, must show upward trend.

tired le. blabbering rubbish.

i want to say i appreciate stinky and i hope i am here for you too

The best is yet to be

severe motivation swings. =(

i admit its my booboo

i think this sem is one of my worst. =( last sem was much better. although there's a sucky prof.

very stressed with derivatives and monetary econs.

cant figure this two out.

mr red has been very encouraging. and i know it.

just that it is many times this sem, that i told myself to chill. dont get over the edge. cuz i am feeling so very stressed. grades are just pieces of paper anyway. and this thot calms me down a lot. but that again, who would want to see ur self esteem droop another level. i dont. =(

hope hols will come sooner

overly stressed

a bid of overconfidence

it seems that i am taking the wrong mod this sem. all very tough. i think i overestimated myself. when other plan carefully to do 4 mods cuz one of them is a difficult one. i have stupidly gungho -ly doing 5.

feeling really stressed cuz i dont understand!
