I hate Men!

I hate Men. They are filled with a nasty hormone call Testosterone.
Testosterone, a sexual hormone, causes Men to become lustful and horrible creatures!
(Whether I like FHM is besides the point)

A sort of record was established on the 20th of Feb Monday.

As I was (sashaying) down the pavement to my busstop, I heard a loud shrill wolf-whistle, coming from behind me. Using my natural instincts (honed no doubt by my years in a boy school), my head quickly tilted in the direction where the potential chio-bu might be.

HOWEVER, TO MY UTTER SURPRISE, THERE WASNT A SOUL IN SIGHT.

There was only (sissified) me..............

I managed to catch the sheepish look on the face of the construction worker seated at the back of the lorry and it dawned on me immediately that he was the culprit and I was the intended victim.

%$&* %$#@!!!!!!! What on EARTH was he thinking of ???????

I HATE MEN.
Cant they get it right before drooling?

In case you think I am making this all up, let me relate another account to you.
*GASP* I have also been sexually harassed at work!!!!

While I was doing my IAQ checks in a small office, there was this old man who came too close for comfort beside me. He then proceed to ask me what I was doing and how my instruments work. Being a professional on-the-ball intern staff, I patiently explained the queries to the best of my abilities. After which he gave my (sexy no doubt) bums a slap.

Horrors of horrors. I have just been errr violated!
Like most females, I choose to be the silent sufferer and let him off the hook.
Sob Sob... I am now so traumatised that I have developed a phobia of small offices and of Men!

I HATE MEN.

Roving eyes, hands and erm other body parts

Suddenly realise that my entries are becoming a little non-characteristic of the name of my blog. Hence I have decided to draw a little more attention to the values of love of society. Hopefully this will get you started to ponder over some of the issues I highlight. Do leave comments if you have something to share ok?

Btw in totally unrelated circumstances, got friends commented that I was very mean in previous few entries. Well I say it is in the name of entertainment so just take it with a pinch of salt k? (actually I am secretly very happy that people are calling me mean cause I believe nice people finish last. Discuss that another time though)

The article is a little long and if you dont wish to read it could jump straight to my comments at the end.

Life Pg 6
Titled: When is a cheat not a cheat?
Nicholas Fang (only extracts)

I have never cheated on my partner and that is not just because I havent been caught.

I is just that I've always been a firm believer in doing unto others as you would have others do unto you, and that what goes around comes around.

Besides the fact that a man is physiologically designed to have more than one partner in his lifetime to ensure the propagation of the species, the proverbial "seven year itch" of spouses and the growing social, and the financial and sexual independence of the modern woman have all been touted as reasons people are more likely to stray these days.

Infidelity for them happens usually begins when they meet someone new, but yet cant or wont let go of the partner they are already with, thus leading to actually cheating on the latter.

Moments of weakness, changing desires or just plain boredom with existing partners have all been citied as reasons.

In some cases, this eventually leads to the ending of an old relationship and the beginning of a new one.

In others, it have created an uncomfortable situation that often involves guilt, suspicion, distrust and general unhappiness.

I would like to believe that that we humans are able to find one person we can be with till we die.
Cheating begins the moment someone decides that its unreasonable to be sexually committed to one person, and once that happens only the fear of being caught - or the unavailability of an attractive accomplish - is what prevents infidelity from actually happening.

Indeed the issue that happens to bother most of them is whether mental and emotional intimacy without crossing of any physical boundaries actually constitutes cheating in a relationship. Some believe that the lack of physical intimacy with a third party absolves the of any guilt arising from straying affection.

But I dont think so. After all its is not hard to imagine how the loss of shared affection and development of emotional bonds could wreck havoc on a couple and ultimately break them up.

The acid test of doubts about cheating would be to imagine the tables being turned. If Imagining what their partners are doing makes them unhappy, then its probably a good indication of cheating.

********************************************

Like the columnist, I also believe in the golden rule of "Dont do to others what you dont want others to do to you." If it hurts reversing the roles in a situation, then dont do it.

Just wished to highlight the fact that there are indeed people who are in a relationship merely for the sake of being in one. They are constantly on the lookout of better and more suitable partners. I am very much against such thinking and behaviour as my friends will testify.

Mental cheating is almost as damaging as physical cheating. I am not referring to the occasional case of the roving eyes when a pretty gal walks past (come on guys are suppose to be hot blooded) but the constant toying of the idea of going after another more attractive female. (Issue of whether guys are superficial is besides present discussion)

To me, a relationship is a strong commitment. I can accept it when things do not go as planned and two people eventually breakup, but to have the mentality of "upgrading" is morally wrong. Perhaps I am still living among the dinosaurs with conservative thinking like these, but if 24 years of singlehood didnt tempt me to come around to a new set of thinking, I think this mentality is set to stay.

I dont believe in 'the one'. There should be many 'one's out there. Some 'one' are more suitable than others , but if we are to spend our lives pursing better 'one' , where does this all leads us? When does it all ends?

Like the columnist, I hold hopes that a certain some 'one' is just round the corner to spend my life with.

TOTO 10 million Draw

People who buy the 10 million TOTO are stupid.

Why? Will reveal after the 10 million draw is over.

In the meantime, don't say I never warn you hor.

UPDATE!

Wahahahahahahaha. The results were just as I expected. Let me reiterated my point again.

*breathe in loudly*
.
.
.

.

PEOPLE WHO BUY THE 10 MILLION TOTO ARE STUPID.
(Disclaimer: unless you were the lucky 8 who strike the top prize or Singapore Pools)

Now why do I say so? Let examine the whole situation so you will not die grudgingly.

This week draw was publicise as being 10 million. Let us first verify the figures.

The 8 Group One winners stand to win $1,256,955 each.
Hell, that is ALOT of money I know.
So simple maths teaches me that $1.26 million x 8 people
= 10 million Dollars.
Singapore Pools indeed stood to their promised prize money.
Am I digressing? Apparently so right?

10 million is alot of money right?
10 million can do alot of things you ever wanted right?
10 million means you can quit your job / studies and rot forever and ever in some paradise island right?
10 million can make almost all your dreams come true... right?

All the above statements are correct BUT for one condition. They are eight winners not one! E-I-G-H-T winners! So one person only gets $1.25 million.

So now for the expected Q and A session which I know you all will blast me with.

#5 (Question 1)

Q: 1.25 million is alot of money what. I still don't understand why you keep saying buying the 10 million dollars TOTO is stupid.

A: Ok. I will explain myself further.
*gives a loud sigh and a dismissive wave of the hand to indicate the whole of mankind is very stupid*

The last draw on the 14 Feb had a total prize money of only 4.6 million. However there were only three winners and each brought home 1.57 million. Can you now see that these winners actually won MORE money. Plus they didn't spend half their lives queuing....

#12 (Question 2)

Q: Why huh? I still don't understand why you say I am stupid.

A: *Gives an audible grunt follow by a loud smack to my forehead*
Cant you mortals see that 10 million is just a very ingenious marketing gimmick?
10 million, 10 million... sounds like alot only.
Did you really expect to win the entire 10 million????
Goodness me! I wont know to call you extremely stupid or optimistic.

#13 (Question 3)

Q: Lidat means I very stupid meh? I beg to differ can.

A: You should be begging for mercy.
*slams the table in an impatient manner*
Let me state another statistics so you will rest in peace. Compare to last week draw, ALL groups prizes money were greater in amount compare to the 10 million TOTO draw. You might like to verify my claims at http://www.singaporepools.com.sg/Lottery?page=toto .

#30 (Question 4)

Q: But...... But.........

A: But I haven't finish yet.
So who do you think is the real winner?
Singapore Pools of course!
Ok lets make some simple calculations.
The original prize money was 8 million and it was later increased to 10 million due to the over whelming response. Considering that Singapore Pools is a profit company like any other company, and assuming it only earns only a miserable 40 cents for each 50 cents TOTO ticket.
At least 20 million TOTO tickets were sold! A mind boggling figure indeed since Singapore has only a population of 5 million.
It almost seem like every economically active person has bought a ticket.
*Stupidity spreads (or greediness whichever word you prefer) *

It only means although the prize money was increased by two folds compared to the last draw. The number of TOTO tickets sold was probably increased by errrr ten or even twenty folds. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out your slice of the winnings even if you win will be dramatically smaller unless you happen to be the sole winner which by the way has never happen before.

#31 (Question 5)

Q: You very smart meh? Surely you got buy TOTO also right?
A: NO. I will buy next week when you morons have cried your hearts out at losing this week.
Then I will win the entire prize money next week! Wahahahahahahahaha

#42 (Question 6)

Q: I feel very stupid liao. Can you please stop insulting me and rubbing it in?

A: But I already warn you hor not to buy the TOTO! Hee hee. There is a hidden insult contained within the blog! Haha. The numbers besides the # sign of the question are the winning TOTO numbers. (Just to rub it in =P) If you spotted it, haha maybe you are not so stupid after all. Otherwise, muahhhhhhhhhhhh.

I am so bo liao again! Wahahahahahahahaha.......

Eh got so much money to gamble why not treat me to dinner? No wonder can't build casino else mayhem in the nation. (Notice the word 'sin' in casino!)

R.I.P 20 million TOTO tickets holders!

All your fault Cupid.

pg 10 Titled My bouquet is bigger than yours

Just to drop by to inform you that Monday is Valentine Day. As I was reading the papers, I came across this article and I realize how love can make people do foolish things. Rather than sharing the stupid things that I have done, I have smartly decided to preserve my image and point out how Valentine makes a fool out of (other) men (and women).

*******************************************

Quoted:
But there is no denying of stress. Florists tell of single and unattached women sending flowers to themselves and spending beyond $100 on red roses, tulips or lilies. But they are rare, says Ms Sheila.

Old maids, we are not so stupid as not to be able to see past this lame trick, duh. I bet you are the day's topic of discussion in the pantry.

For those who successfully pull the wool over other eyes, I would like to pose this question, if the others are convinced that you are attached when you are not, wont that make your future chances of getting hitched even slimmer? ALAS! Stupid people!

*****************************************

Quoted:
My wife doesn't demand that I send her flowers to the office, but some of her colleagues boyfriend do, so I do the same. Better play safe and make her happy. Mr Kelvin Yeo,30 an advertising and promotions executive

Eh, Mr Kelvin be smarter abit can? Haven't you realize that it is an egg and chicken situation? What you (and others) should be doing is to find out who is the one sending the flowers (and spoiling the market).

It could jolly well be a case of self giving flowers like above mentioned.

If it isn't, then have a good heart to heart talk between 2 men and tell (threaten) him not to do it next year. A whack or two on the head might help persuade him.

If all else fails, ask (threaten) your girl friend/wife to transfer to another department.

Love makes fool of men aye. How true?

Random CNY musings

A very Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends! Just wanna write a few lines during this festive period. Pardon the crap. It is New Year after all. = )

#1

No of times I was asked if I am in the army: Twice
No of times I was asked if I got a girl friend: Twice
No of times I was asked if I looked more like my father or mother: TWENTY
No of times my relatives intelligence level increase by : FIVE ( twenty divided by four )

They learn very quickly not to repeat the first two questions after they had a taste of my combo movement of *shrug shoulders, roll eyes from left to right, hissing voice escaping from my throat, sheesh look*

If you don't know why I don't like the first 2 Q. I will provide the answers in the comment box.

#2

I am $5 richer from gambling! The story could have been sooooooooo different had I went to my friend's house to 'try my luck'. From the last I heard, their ang baos were almost wiped out.... Bless me! I just avoided a calamity.

*na mo all mi tuo fuo...... keep repeating till it fades for audio effects*

#3

I witness the grilling my elders gave to my SINGLE uncle who is in his mid thirties. . I think he is a very nice person, maybe a little horizontally challenged (yes pot calling the kettle black) but nevertheless a very nice person. (That is why I think nice people always finish last. *points at me and uncle* but I will explain why another time)

IMAGINE the embarrassment in front of everyone! Let's just say it is traumatic enough witnessing it. I wont want to experience it.......
Gulp -_- "

#4

That is it Valentine next Monday and I am date less.

*It should not be a great deal since it is the 23rd time …..wahahahahaha
Font size applied according to words that I wish readers would miss out.*

#5

Nothing in particular. I just didn't want to end at four. Back luck k... end with four. I still wanna carry on my winning roll wan!

Oh I so bo liao again! wahahahahahahaha

My Sassy Gal Part 1

I have been wanting to blog about this for sometime but the entry that I have written can never measure to the personal standard that I have set for myself.

This entry is about my favourite movie – “ My Sassy Gal”. I am sure it is the favourite movie of many others as well. For those who haven’t seen it before, I strongly urge you to rent the VCD!



VCD coverof the movie

A short briefing for those who have never watched the film before. It is a Korean movie released in 2001 starring Jeon Ji-Hyeon as the female lead and Cha Tae-Hyeon as Gyun Woo, the male lead. A wacky, romantic love story that will make you spill your sides laughing and make your heart wrench at the love that wasn’t allowed to blossom.


Gyun Woo being bullied and enjoys it!

So what exactly is it that makes this my favourite movie? Besides the excellent plot and great acting skills from both lead casts, let me list down the 5 details that make this my favourite!

#1

The female lead always write scripts of the future and of time travel. She admits subconsciously that she is living in the past and hope that someone from the “future” can rescue her from there.

#2

The scene in the taxi. This scene stood out even during the first time I watched the movie. Lots of people either didn’t feel anything special about this part or they can’t even remember this scene at all. I remember the guy lead saying “since the female lead emotional wounds are healing perhaps it is also time for him to bide farewell.” It touched a raw emotion within me. Sacrificial love. Have I just seen on the big screen a highest order of this form of love? Being there when it matters and not expecting any returns in the end.

#3

The scene at the top of the mountain. How the female lead cried her heart out at her inability to let go of her past love and silently acknowledging deep within herself that their present love is reaching an end and they will have to separate.

*Notice her shaking fingers as she is crying. Excellent portrayal of her role*

#4

The time capsule scene. While it is not the idea of a time capsule that is touching, it was the expression of Gyun woo who understands and realize that it symbolize the end of the relationship and he wonders if the female lead will actually keep to her promise of returning on the agreed time. It was heart wrenching to know how inevitable the breakup was going to be.

#5

The ending. It was so well crafted that I didn’t see it coming. How the twist at the end reveals that actually they were meant to be. It was a very sweet ending and one that still brings a warm fuzzy feeling whenever I view the MTV.

Coming up next would be the easter egg (secrets revealed) of Sassy Gal Part 2! Watch this space! = )

Chasing a lost cause

I was having difficultly sleeping and so decided to read some of the stuff that I have written earlier. Then I came upon this piece of writing that I have written and which I particularly like because it carries a little moral to the end of the story. Decided to post it up to this blog to compensate for my long absence last week.
(I was just lazy to blog something new lah.. you are right smartie-pants)

Guess some of your guys have read this before but its ok.

Feel free to leave comments about what you think. = )

Wednesday June 27th 2004

Today an interesting analogy came into my mind.

My friends and I were walking to a bus stop when the bus we were waiting for zoomed past us. Without a moment hesitation, one of my friends just went sprinting after the bus, while the other friend and I were thinking that we would not be able to catch the bus. In the end, persistency paid off and due to the efforts of my friend, the bus driver waited for all three of us to board the bus.

I think chasing a bus that is a long way off translates to how a person reacts to chasing a lost cause in love. I was thinking of how silly I would appear if I would to sprint after the bus and I failed to board the bus. The other friend told me he didn’t bother to sprint because he is too passive. The friend who went after the bus said he felt warm and didn’t want to wait. (If you feel that this example and what I am saying so far is just pure rubbish pls avert your eyes.)

This is roughly equivalent to our character, one who is passive, one who is overly concern with how others perceive oneself, and one who is simple and single track. Funny enough, it takes a bus to reveal that differences in character amplify themselves in our daily actions to the smallest details.

Zen and Work (they do co-exist ok!)

Ok this blog entry is again overdue. I sincerely don’t think anyone was reading my blog since yah the counter don’t seem to be jumping madly. (In fact I am pretty certain most of the hits registered by the counter is mine.) Since my friend has commented that it is high time that I write something.. well I have decided to write about my work since it is probably the most effortless topic of all.

So what do I do for a living?
(Yes I am surviving on my meager salary of 540 monthly. Did I just price myself out of the girls’ demand by making this revelation? Oh dear oh dear….. = ( )

I do Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessment. This is usually done in indoor environment. (DUH...) To the security guard / cleaning aunties and uncles / older staff / and whoever that don’t understand what on earth is Indoor Air Quality checks… by giving me a very HUH look, I will go on to say… “errr I am here to check the aircon.” And i will be rewarded with a SIGN. A SIGN includes a nod of their heads; a loud “Ohhhhhhhh…..” ; a thumbs up; a shrug of the shoulder..... Humans ARE expressive creatures.

What can I say?
.
.
.
.
Give that uncle / auntie a Tiger! -_- "

The interesting aspect of my job is that the client base of my company is mostly government buildings. And this has granted me access to alot of places that are usually out-of-bounds to the common people. So what you say? Eat your hearts out!

I have gone to Changi Airport Control Tower! Haha even if got money also can’t go one ok???? Besides that, I have made my way into minister’s offices. How cool is that?? But I am too tired to blog about those encounters. My attachment report is due next week and I am a tweeny little stressed about the progress of my report. Till again! Talalalala….


Son Ye Jin gives me an adoring blur look when i explain that i am checking the IAQ of her room.
