She is Singapore born all right but she had been based in London since she was 5.Even Beijing born Li Jiawei, Singapore's most well know paddler breathed Singapore's polluted air for more years.Back to square one. Singapore is able to produce world class champions if they are not Singapore trained or they are borned somewhere else..Feng Tianwei and Wang YueguNever heard of these two until they won the team semi-finals at Beijing Olympics.Finally the under-rated swimmer Yip Pin Xiu, shut everyone up.Not only is she what we deemed Singaporean, she won an individual Silver and Gold at the paralympics. She swims faster than me for goodness sake..If that is not enough she broke two World Rec ords! Go Singapore! Gold for Singapore!!!Who the fuck says Singapore can't produce world champions?!Now the thing is her Parlympics INDIVIDUAL G OLD is worth only ONE TENTH of the Olympics! Our paralympians are worth only one tenth of our able bodied athletes? In what way are they only one tenth?! FOUR Paralympics individual medals combined is worth less than ONE Olympic team silver! What about our only individual Olympic Silver Medali st? "Tan Howe Liang is the only Singaporean who had won a medal at all the major international games -- Olympics, Commonwealth, Asian and SEAP (all gold except for the Olympics). He became the first weightlifter in the world to be awarded the International Weightlifting Federation (national honour) Gold Award in 1984 (Sunday Times 26 Jul 92). He was also awarded the IOC Pin for his medal winning performance at the Rome Olympics, 1960 (1989)."I know, I know.. Prize money is donated by private companies and sponsors so I think it is time for the government to step in. Our society is based on justice and EQUALITY afterall. Right?Sports school, sports hub and Youth Olympics? Sorry, I'm really not convinced. Give our paralympians their fair share first before we talk about making Singapore a possible sports hub.P.S : It may not concern me how the prize money is spent. But I think the money will be put into better use to help the paralympians rather than buying some homes in China. Turning Cold Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Ah Choo! *Sniff sniff* The weather is turning cold. That is why everyone seemed to be falling sick. When it turns cold, we get the cold. If it's not the weather then it is some virus going around. Virus is always going around. Damn those stupid virus.What is the first thing you head for when your nose starts getting runny?Lemsip vs Panadol Cold ReliefI'll head for Lemsip because I don't want to swallow.. Hey sore throat accompany flu everytime right? Lemsip and Panadol failed me together this time. Maximum protection towards runny nose was only 5 hours. When self medication doesn't work, Mum interferes.. Traditional Herbs vs DOMI grew up drinking herbs and I love the smell of herbs. When I was asked to drink it in one gulp I happily obliged. Five hours of a mucus free nose. Mum suggested I drink DOM since I am prone to flu. A little too late to drink DOM when I already got the cold.. At least DOM allow me a night of undisturbed sleep.I started drinking it 2 years ago but my bottle disappeared for some reason hence I stopped drinking it altogether. Witnessing mum taking a bottle of DOM out from a dark corner with it's label obviously eaten up by cockroaches, I got the answer I wanted.When all else fails... Consult a doctor.Take anti-biotic together with whatever the doctor deemed necessary to swallow.(Female doctors can make people swallow. I think doctors are damn cool now..)With 2 days MC.Back to work tomorrow.. Drag.. Status : In A Relationship Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..It started with Friendster, then other social networks follwed suit. Now it's Facebook. Boyfriend said he received quite a number of comments when he changed his status on Facebook."Only comments?" I replied. I received congratulatory messages when I changed mine.Is being attached such a big deal? Not really if you're the kind who enter a relationship straight after another. It is a big deal if you've never been in a relationship, took forever to find someone, or you took damn long to get over the last before entering another one. Why is there a need to have choices regarding our status on social networks?Unlike meeting someone face to face, we are not able to tell if a person's status. With internet and social networking sites, we can. Social networks are meant to expand your circle. You don't have to lie or hide your status to make friends. It helps when people are curious and when they don't dare to ask if you are attached. It may be sad that we have to rely on such sites to be truthful. It is the best damn thing to tell others interested in your other half to FUCK OFF without having to do anything. Besides, the other half will be wondering why they are not in your network and will question the reason behind your "single" status. Some people may not be that tech savvy. Maybe they don't know how to change it and maybe they just can't be bothered. There are however some people who are anything but that. It saddens me when it occured to me that maybe too many people were not honest on their relationship status. It may also be due to some wanting to leave their choices open because the person they are with now fall short of what they are looking for.Maybe they are so god damn popular and they need to keep their relationship status a hush-hush thing.. Maybe they just want to meet more people and have a little fun. There are many ways to have fun. You can make funny faces and cam whore with friends.You may also try HB's Sex Education programme with your partner etc.. When people's status read "In a Relationship", the best is to leave them alone. If you are really interested in someone, you should make the first move or at least make your intention known when they are single. Never try, never know. If you hadn't done any of the above, I suggest you shut the fuck up and never make your intentions known for good or at least only after their failed relationship. Yes. Even if it means they have feelings for you. What is your intention for wanting to make your intention known after someone is attached? You hope they'll become your Fuck Buddy? Part-time girlfriend or boyfriend? Or you just want to make them feel bad for not waiting for you to make the move? Don't give crap like," I should have.. I could have.. If only.." I really hate when guys go ," Oh, so I can't go after you anymore." By saying this, it only show that you are nothing but a loser and I am assured of my choice.I was single for two years and you didn't do anything. Now I'm attached and you chose to tell me such crap. If you are too slow, you are a loser. If you are too wishy washy, you are a loser. If you had to wait until the person is taken to make your feelings known and regret you didn't do so earlier, then you are the biggest LOSER. When people's status read "In a Relationship", I suggest you don't make a fool out of yourself by being such a Loser... The 28 Year Old Virgin Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. I celebrated my ex colleague's 28th birthday on Tuesday night. She's 28. Female. She's straight. She is still a Virgin and it's definitely not planned!I heard a joke early this year from one of the singer in St James. "If you are still a virgin, it must be something wrong up there or something smelly down there.." Needless to say, the crowd bust out laughing.Why are we making jokes and laughing? Beats me but it appeared funny somehow and I know I am not the only one.That night, I pointed to Faithful Wife of a picture on my camera of the birthday girl, "Eh.. The 28 year old virgin.." She burst out laughing, jumped up and down and clapped her hands.Later, I pointed to my friend Pin, "Eh.. The 28 year old virgin.." She held onto her stomach and laughed for at least 30 seconds.Again, I pointed to my friend Step, "Eh.. The 28 year old virgin.. " She burst out laughing and nod her head in agreement.I pointed out to a guy at the party, "Eh.. The 28 year old virgin.." He lied on the couch, held his tummy and giggled.All right. I admit I am damn evil.. I have to stress on this, it's not being a virgin at 28 that makes this funny. There is nothing wrong if you are still a virgin but it is WHO the person is...She was nicknamed..Shrek..The 28 year old virgin is just loud and naggy and she's someone who makes it to your coffee talks for the wrong reason. She just seemed angry to me most of the time and I think sex may be the only solution. It's something chocolate can't give you enough..Thing is, someone will just point out she is still a virgin when she's seeing someone. Guys that went out with her cited "huge responsibility" and are not willing to take the chance of deflowerig her. It gets harder by the day..I hope her Birthday wish is to get a boyfriend. It is the first step to getting laid. I only want to say..May your wish come true!!! Must Be My Hoods Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔...Avril Lavigne's Best Damn TourRock Chick with a tinge of girliness..She's so damn cute..Free tickets.. Life's damn good. I think I can be cute too..With white hood.Yellow..Blue!I'm more colourful..Damn.. That's not really cute. It must be my hoods..Then again, it's damn easy to be cute when you are blonde, young and wear pink.. :( Writing Will Never Be The Same Again.. Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..When I completed my Bachelor's degree last year, I told myself I am am done with school. I told everyone I know I won't be going back to school for a very long time. Juggling work and school is tough. Barely a year later, I enrolled myself in a post graduate programme.I think I have a very itchy backside. I can't sit still for long.. Let's just say I got really bored with coming home to watch Korean drama serials on prime time everyday. The feeling of aimlessness. I felt useless. What seemed like heaven felt like hell after a while.Besides, I realised a degree really doesn't mean anything. Year after year, a lot of people I know are getting their degrees. Even classmates who stayed back a year in school, poly or whatever are doing their degree now! I don't want to be the same! I want to be better!Actually the fact is, I can tell those who pissed me off, "Bachelor degree so what? I have Masters!" =PDifferent WritingsYou would have noticed I posted my entries at weird hours recently. Classes started not too long ago and I'm running on a very tight schedule. I'm learning how to write. I'm one of the youngest and least experience in my class meaning I have to put in more effort.The previous entries were written before my classes started, so I would say it hasn't affect my writing here yet. There are so many kinds of writing which I had been unaware and finally so many names I can put on what I had been using.I am worried I will start writing in boring newspaper format. I think I'll suck in that because I have strong opinions. If I ever write like that here, please let me know. Then again, I do suck. I think my blog is corrupted. I think my blog will be corrupted. Shall I start another blog for such corruptions? Pls vote.Whatever it is, I am sure my writing will never be the same again.. Baby Policy : SEX Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. This will be the last semi-serious post on Baby Policy. I am concerned because I am a Singaporean and the policies may affect me. No, I am NOT pregnant but I want my opinions to be known. Cheer up. The Horny Bitch is finally talking about sex! Let me make this clear. There is no point if we spend so much time to prepare and offer incentives if we are not having sex. If we want babies, we got to make it. At least try via natural means first unless proven otherwise. If all else fails, aid is always available. In my last entry, I mentioned time as a factor as too many singles are spending time on work. Time is also a factor when sex is concerned. If we are too tired, we would not have the energy to have sex. We wouldn't enjoy sex even if we do it, so sleep first.I am not planning to have a baby, but I find it difficult to have sex on a week night because my boyfriend is too tired from work. I had to promise not to disturb him if I want to sleep beside him. If it is a disappointment every time then I'll rather not be around. When I'm not around, all the more it is impossible to engage in sexual activities.Sometimes I wondered if it is because he isn't attracted to me anymore, but discussions with friends with similar encounter eased my mind. IT IS COMMON. Everyone needs love. At least some form of physical comfort. Being unwanted is not a nice feeling. This explains why I am often grouchy by mid-week. I need my dose of aphrodisiac. Once a week is clearly not enough.No sex no babies. Give us more time to have sex and we'll give you the babies.In business, if you want customers to come back, you have to offer something extra. If you can't offer anything extra, at least offer good service. Same logic applies to sex.If you suck in bed, chances are you're not going to score more than once with the same person. I'm not referring to one night stands but you can apply that to people having pre-maritial sex. I know people who dump / got dumped because they suck in bed. Who says sex is not important?!Even if you did not engage in pre-maritial sex, will you still continue to have sex after marriage if you and your other half don't enjoy it? Probably not because there is more to sex in a relationship.I stand by what I believe, No Sex No Babies.This is a good time to review sex education in school at a higher level. We were given lessons and told not to do it when we're younger, but we were not given lessons on why we should do it as we grew older. Don't assume we know everything because we don't.Classes should be like this,( click on Sex Education to read ) instead of male / female organs and reproductive system. I still didn't know what sexual intercourse meant when I left my class. It clearly wasn't enough.Techniques should be taught at a higher level. Offer romance /seduction techniques /bedroom lessons.We can insist teenagers attend the same lessons we went through years ago but we know how effective it had been. Other things I think should be banned because it affects people's mood to have sex. TVs and alcohol. We get distracted by interesting TV programmes. Once or twice is fine but not more than thrice.. If we are not going to have our power supply shut down, at least stop airing programmes. Ban TVs in bedroom! ( Click on TVs are Evil to read ). Alcohol make people hornier, but it affect men's performance. Whoever said alcohol doesn't affect performance is lying. He don't even need to be drunk. Unless you want Half Fucks ( Click here to read ) , go ahead and try doing it after having alcohol. We can have all the sex in the world but sex does not guarantee pregnancies if birth control is used. Make birth control inaccessible and expensive for married couples. Not to the general population because we don't encourage unwed teenage parents and sex diseases. We don't need to ban it. Make it expensive like cigarettes. How do we track and how will we know who is married and who is not?New identification cards should be issued bearing "maritial status". IC should be produced upon request. Those married will be charged exhorbitant rates when they purchase condoms and contraceptive pills and any other form of birth control. Those caught purchasing birth control for married people will be jailed or fined or both!Sale of birth control to married couples will only be allowed if they stated it will not be used with their legal half. Not only will we keep the number of people using birth control low, we'll also have official statistics on cheating partners. Not much people will dare to abuse the system since their identification will be recorded when they purchase birth controls. =) Baby Policy : The First Few Steps Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. I thank all who commented on my last entry. It gave me an insight from many points of view which an unmarried woman like me would not have thought of. Issues like getting married and having kids being a natural process, no amount of money will make people have kids if they don't want to. Imposing fines will not stop people from having kids even if they want to. Smaller families leading to selfish kids, the pressure to send kids to fanciful classes, having childcare centres near offices...................................................................................... The issues mentioned aboved are mostly what happened AFTER having kids. Please do not forget, in order to get married and have kids, you have to first have someone to do it make babies with. This brings us back to the natural process of "boy meets girl, fell in love, marry, start a family and hopefully happily ever after".We blamed work and then suggested match making. We even blamed fellow Singaporeans and it is now everyone's fault. Same old thing about work taking too much time, high stress level and so on. This is Asia. Bosses expect us to come early and stay late. Romance in the company is frowned upon, so even if we would like to proceed a little further with that hot guy/gal, we have to think twice. Not all will proceed a step further. Culture require time to form and it takes generation to change. Unless the maximum number of working hour is strictly imposed and there are authoritities to conduct checks, the number of hours we spend in office is not going to change and there will be people that don't have time to get out and meet the opposte sex. I guess that is why some of us are attracted to foreigners, because their mindset is different. Life is not all about work. Nobody likes hanging out with nerds in school. Nobody likes to go out with workaholics either. Get my point? Those programs and newspaper interviews featuring Singaporean women complaining about Singaporean men and vice versa. Anymore negative footage, we will start killing each other on the streets. I can only say, stop pointing fingers at each other. We don't need to proceed further to look for the answer why we're not attracted to each other. How certain people behave and how much we like about them is personal preference and it is not subjected to Nationality.Our impressions on the opposite sex should improve. Everyone should attend etiquette classes if necessary. If we don't make an impression on someone, no one is ever going to be interested. I proposed we should start conducting lessons in Junior Colleges, Polytechnics and Tertiaries on "The Virtues of the Opposite Sex in My Country". Whatever goes into the syllables will be another topic for discussion. We shouldn't start younger because we will not remember something we learned not too long ago e.g Civics and Morale education. Not only can we remember things a little more clearly at that age, we are also naive enough to believe what the teacher taught and curious enough about the opposite sex. Drill what we want to instill in the young minds. It will be too late when they start coming out to work and have their own experiences. I believe in love and it takes time to find that one. All the shortcomings may not even matter if you are truly in love. Hey, I didn't mind going out with someone with bad breath, body odour and shaven armpits because I thought it could work out. I didn't dump him because he smells. I dumped him because he threw tantrums and screamed at me. I don't like emotionally unstable guys and that is my personal preference. Back to the topic of Singaporeans who cannot tolerate Singaporeans of the opposite sex:If the thought of marrying each other is such a pain in the ass, then look for foreigners!It is time for readily available mail order brides/ grooms and there should be more accessible ways to marrying foreigners. Come on. We have the strongest economy in South East Asia and a Singapore passport is like a gateway to heaven. Foreigners married to Singaporeans are not granted the right to stay automatically. Some have to come on social visit pass and they have to queue up at Immigration and Checkpoints Authority to renew their passes everytime they are due to go home. If their stay can no longer be extended, they have to purchase a ticket back home, apply a social visit pass and start the whole ordeal again. If I have to be away from my other half for so long with so many extra work before every trip, I don't think I will have the energy to have sex let alone have babies... I will have doubt and suspicion on my partner and it will eventually lead to the failure of my marriage.Now, married couples are not having enough kids. Meaning foreigners marrying Singaporeans may not be having kids either! Since we are worried with not having enough people in our future workforce, why don't we offer incentives for marrying foreigners with kids? Citizenship will be granted after the couple's biological child is born unless proven infertile. This is a measure to avoid phony marriages.I guarantee our population growth will be exponential. At least a 1:2 increase. It is faster, cheaper, less hassle (no diaper changing, sleepless nights) for everyone! If we ever decide to do that, we need to start land reclamation now!Furthermore, these children will not face as much discrimination if they grow up here compared to people who came to Singapore via work permits. There will not be a heated debate on how Singaporean they are. They would have integrated into the society by the time they grow up. There will be more cross cultural/countries marriages and then, we can be truly be known as multi-racial country.Baby Policy? I say, the first few steps matters. Cut down on working hours if it helps. Provide help to those who need. Paint a more beautiful picture of Singaporeans with the help of curriculum if necessary. "Import" humans by making cross country marriages easier and offer incentives to foreigners that already have kids. Baby Policy: When Money Isn't Really The Problem Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Everywhere I go, everyday on the newspapers there is at least an article on making more babies. I am sure we have heard enough of Singaporean's point of view after PM Lee delivered his National Day speech on Singaporeans delaying marriage, not having babies etc.After all sorts of nation wide suggestions on the cause of the problem, it suddenly became every young/fertile Singaporean's fault because the conclusion is we are not willing to get married and have kids!I'll like to say, if using money to solve the problem of falling birth rate isn't helping, then money isn't really the root of the problem. As a Singaporean, I am worried. Therefore I shall discuss the problem and give some suggestions from my humble point of view in three different posts.Problems cited : Rising costs, help in looking after children, work and maternity/paternity leave.Assuming I am married and I am going to make some babies/ already have babies of my own:Rising costs is everywhere and it is not going to stop. What didn't rise is our pay and that is not going to happen. Unless we can grow more land, grow more crops (I don't mean organic) on our own, have our natural resources, take ERP away, take away GST, we will still feel the pinch and attribute this as a contributing factor.Yes, we may save more and hold on to a little more cash. The question is, are we ready to reproduce like nobody's business if all the above mentioned is taken away?Your guess is as good as mine. Money isn't really the problem.If I already have a kid, I would need help in looking after my little brat when I am at work (since I have to work because of our small population). Getting a maid may solve the problem (if I can afford one).Plus, all those reports and videos on maids kicking, punching and throwing children down the window.. If I have to spend 9 months carrying my flesh and blood in me, natural or Cesarean birth will be painful and of course numerous stretch marks after giving birth, any normal women would not want to put her children at such risk. Getting a domestic helper is not going to solve the problem for the "help" I need.We may argue that not all maids are abusive and for all we know, it may be the employer who provoked the maid. Whatever the reason is, a women would rather look after her own children rather than someone else unless absolute necessary. In short, we don't trust maids. Money isn't really the problem. Fear is.If we have to leave the job to someone else, it got to be someone we trust like my own parents.It will be great if our parents can look after our children, but what if they are not available? They may not be willing, they may not be healthy and they may not even be around. Our parents are not obligated to look after our kids.If money can solve the problem, may I suggest giving cash incentives to people looking after their grandchildren?Women in Singapore are fortunate. We make up almost half of our workforce. There is no social stigma on working women who are married and married women with kids. We are able to work because we are equipped with skills, knowledge because we are given education just like the guys. We were engineered to work and having a baby isn't going to change that.We are as educated, received higher and maybe even better education. Our parents didn't pay half the price for our education and we spent the same amout of time, money and effort to get our qualifications. Do you expect us to stay at home and breed? That really isn't possible!You may argue that women are not expected to stay at home after giving birth now, but it brings back the problem of help in looking after childen again.The thing is, if I spent so much time and effort to climb up the corporate ladder, I don't think I am willing to throw/put that away even after having a kid.I may have one or two children, stay at home, look after my kids and maybe have more kids if my husband can afford it. At the end of they day, I will not want to be too dependent on someone else and that includes my other half.In this world, we know nothing is guaranteed. He may leave me for someone else and if that happens, at least I know I won't fall so hard...So, maternity leave is extended to 4 months for females while it is not feasible to grant a month of paternity leave because males still dominate the top management, hence earning more. Good thing is, if I ever have a child, my employer got to pay me for the next 4 months but what happens after that? The problems cited above will resurface.I would like to remind everybody that it is not possible for a women to have a baby alone. Masturbation don't lead to pregnancy. Men are not the only ones contributing to the household expenses now. We don't exclude women from the workforce and I don't think it is fair to exclude men from a month of "mandatory" child duties. Earning more is not an excuse.If I am going to have a child for the first time, I am inexperienced and my husband is not there to lend me his support. For all I know, I may even get post-natal depression! I'm sorry to say I will stop at one. Money isn't really the problem, support is.If we're going to use money to entice fellow Singaporeans in having more babies, we might as well use more to solve it. Don't give one off Baby Bonus. Give child bonus until a certain age instead. It'll be more attractive compared to a one time payment.Hey, if you still think money is the problem, at least you don't have to worry for the next few years to come... I still think money isn't really the problem to be blamed for falling birth rates. Everything Men Know About Women Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..The title caught my eye.Everything Men Know About WomenBy Dr. Alan Francis.Quoting the back of the book, it says:"Based on years of research and interviews with thousands of men from all walks of life, he (Dr. Alan Francis ) presents the most complete picture ever revealed of men's knowledge of the opposite sex. Fiercely and brilliantly insightful, this work spells out everything men know about topics as:- making friends with women- romancing women- achieving emotional intimacy with women- making comments to women- satisfying women in bed "Fantastic!!! This must be the book every straight women should read!Women want to know what men really know about us because we don't believe you guys know anything.So I flipped.First PagePages in the middle..Till the last. ALL BLANK!I laughed because that is very true and I got myself a notebook.However, I want to cry because Men, still don't get it and the book cost £2.99.. =( Time Bank Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. Wouldn't it be nice if we have something call a time bank?A bank which time is stored. Like money, we can redraw it from the bank when we need extra time for projects, deadlines and maybe that critical football match. When we have nothing to do, time stops. Just like money, some have an abundance, but some can't afford such luxuries. We say, take your time to grow up to healthy children. They can have all the time in the world. We say, time to grow up to new adults. Or rather, to the other half who had been partying too hard for their own good. We say, it's time, when elderly we know passed away. Unlike money, time doesn't grow. It doesn't earn any interest. It is intangible. Time is just like investment. We invest and then we hope and pray our investment pays off. Like investing time in someone we fancy. We do what we have to and wait patiently, hoping our investment will payoff. There may or may not be a payoff. If all the time spent on such investment is returned, it probably wouldn't hurt so much because we didn't waste any time. We wouldn't curse the sluts and bastards that ever crossed our paths so badly for wasting our precious time. Time will never be the issue for ending a relationship beacuse all of us will still be young, pretty and desirable.Sad to say, money spent on bad investment don't come back. Neither will time.I guess that is how we learn. To lose something before we truely know how to treasure and appreciate it. The panic and pain felt for losing something is more effective in making us remember compared to any preaching. We are allowed time to ponder over mistakes and failures so we can make better decision next time. But we don't have all the time. If time wasted is returned, we'll probably be making the same mistakes over and over again. If time can be stored, we'll probably spend it like money when we have that little extra.If there is a time bank, we may never sense any urgency.Some say, laughter is the best medicine.I say, laughter is the best medicine. Temporary.Some say, time is the best medicine.I say, time is the best medicine. Long term.All the medicine in the world can't cure heartaches. Most of us don't think we will ever recover. We may not recover fully, but we will manage somehow.Feel all the pain while you can, because you may not get to feel it even if you want to in future.Time is like medicine. It heal all wounds.. Time go on. Life goes on.Some things come back. Sometimes, even someone. Some never. Too bad. There is no such thing as a time bank because time and tide wait for no man. Anyhow Cut Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..In Taiwan last month.Name of Salon in traditional chineseDoes it mean Luan Jian or Ran Jian?Either it means "Anyhow Cut" or "dye and cut".The English name is Crazy Cut Hair Salon so I'll assume it is the former.Walkway to the receptionThe only thing missing is the red carpet. The only thing that didn't stop Berrie and I from walking in is the price for their services displayed outside. Please bear in mind prices displayed may not be the same as the price on your receipt. Have you seen any salon in Singapore with a basement??This salon have a basement in operation!Waiting areas Size of this salon is HUGE. The three pictures above is only 3/8 of the salon.Berrie and I broke out in cold sweat and almost walked away when a bunch of 17 year olds led the way at first. They employed 17 year old school girls on summer vacation to wash customers' hair. Good thing is they still leave the important work to the professionals.For a place that stated they will anyhow cut, a good thing is they didn't anyhow blow..NT 200 for wash. NT 100 for cutting my fringe. About SGD $13.63 in all. Another salon we visited:IS Salon You can spot this sign when you are standing right in front of Ximending.Yes. It's crazy but we were in serious need of pampering ourselves, so we visited salons 2 days in a row. Spa sessions are more expensive than what we have in Singapore, so it's a no-no. Plus, I won't be visiting Taiwan anytime soon so it is a very good excuse to spend my remaining foreign currency.I prefer IS Salon because they actually massage your back before they start washing. Their massage reminds me of the hair spa in Batam. I like it hard. The harder the better..While washing, the hairdresser/stylists will kept asking if your scalp is still itchy and they will scratch and wash and only stop until you are satisfied. Nothing like those in Singapore where everything is standard and over in 5 minutes.For only NT 200 (SGD $9.09), it is value for money and I have no complains. There is a drawback though, they charged an additional NT 50 (SGD $2.27) for conditioner. Pay more for lubricant! First such encounter...Hair spa in Batam is still the best. I badly need to arouse my 2nd G-spot soon. BATAM ayone??!! Bed of Roses Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Ricky Martin told us," She looks like a flower but she stings like a bee," when he was banging sang the song "She Bangs".I think he was referring to a rose. I seriously think he didn't state the flower as a rose because the song wouldn't sound as nice.. Pic by Sari ChocheRoses.Looks nice. Smells sweet. Regardless of race, language or religion. Depending on occasions, women are suckers for roses.We refer to someone as beautiful as a rose. We compare beauty with roses. Men must be the ones doing the comparison.We were also warned of being pricked by roses when we're not careful. Why didn't we use terms like as pricky as a rose, as thorny or even as dangerous as a rose, or as unexpected as a rose?Just when we thought things are going smoothly, beautifully, something had to prick us with no prior warning. Just like a rose. Sometimes we even bleed as a result. We call this LIFE.To whoever that said life isn't a bed of roses:You either don't know what a rose is or you have never held a rose in your hand. You have conned people long enough!!!LIFE IS A BED OF ROSES.. Hotsprings in Taiwan Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Hotsprings. The must see, must visit, must dip in Taiwan since they have an abundance. I made it a point to visit it even in summer.Is Hotspring is named hotspring because it is so hot that you will spring after coming contact with it?Needless to say, I was hot. The weather was hot. The water was scorching hot too!Don't know how to get there? Fret not. Your online not very helpful tour guide THB is here to help. Directions: If you are on a tour, I hope your itinerary included a visit to the hotsprings. If it is included, you don't need any directions because your bus driver definitely know the way. Unless he is new, then I have nothing to say..If you're travelling Free and Easy, take the MRT to Xin Beitou station. Transfer to Xin Beitou (not Beitou) station is somewhat like transfering trains from East-West line to Changi Airport for us. A little confusing and troublesome. Just follow the colour of the line!!Xin Beitou MRT Station Don't you wish our MRT station look like this?If all else fails, take a cab because it is bloody cheap compared to Singapore.Yangmingshan is nearby but very high up, hence we dropped plans to visit it. We were not exactly keen because it didn't look spectacular from below, plus a friend working as a tour guide told me there is nothing to see in summer.KFC This KFC is like the landmark there.Walk further down near to KFC before heading uphill which lead to the hotsprings. My travelling companions and I made the mistake of walking uphill too eagerly.Wrong direction if this is what you see after 5 minutes.. You're heading towards the right direction if you see this at the foot of the hill.Cable box?This place looks like a cafe but it looked too expensive and we didn't have time to explore.Hotspring MuseumWas expecting more from the museum but I guess my interest waned after seeing so many traditional chinese words.Outside another museumBerrie and I asked a local with very good complexion which is the best hotspring but she commented she don't visit of those bath-houses any and directed us the correct way. Weird. How can you stay near hotsprings and don't visit hotsprings?Moments later, we saw another local soaking her feet at the side of the road.I did the same. Do what the locals do right?Hotspring water flowed so freely that they even have it by the roadside!!! The lady who directed us must have her own hotspring bath! No wonder she said she don't visit bath houses! Either that, Beitou must be a place that rip tourists off..Me enjoying my free hotspring session by the roadside. I was the only one who did this.Moments later, I saw this..Attention!Water drainage, not suitable for soaking feet.!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!The above stand for all the vulgarities I've ever come across in my entire life. I'm thankful my feet didn't rot and they are still in perfect working condition..Millennium HotspringOpen bath we stoped and peeped.Too bad. Only old men available, no bikini babes..A stall owner told me it's all right to take pictures. Just do it discreetly. I'm glad they didn't think I am some foreign young girl obsessed with half naked Taiwanese old men..Not wanting to attract weird stares, we decided to soak in a private pool in a hotel instead.Exterior of the hotel.The pool.Sorry, camera not big enough. There are 4 pools actually. From acidic to alkaline pool. Resting area.Washing up area.A place big enough to put stuff belonging to 10 people.It cost NT 1000 (SGD $ 45.45) an hour for unlimited number of guests. An additional NT20 for a towel.Click here to check out the hotel's website.Check out my signature pose after pampering myself.My face covered in an orange towel.An uncle inspired us to do this while he walked past from the opposite direction. We thought it's funny but it isn't funny anymore when we realised our towel isn't wet when we reached the bottom of the hill. No wonder mum always say drink more water and wear hats on a hot day..Lesson learnt: Always learn from the experienced. What I should have done to boost traffic.. Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..It was approximately five months ago. The first time I met him with my boyfriend, he told me I looked familiar. A while later he asked me if I am The HB.. He address me as HB more than my real name. Not that I mind... HB sounds nice to me.Before his pictures appeared on Singapore's most popular blog, the pictures were in fact nothing new to me. If you want stories, you should always hear it from the party involved...Whenever I bumped into him, he will ask how is my blog and if I need help to boost traffic. Usually my answer is "ok lor" and I'll ask him what he planned to do. He said he only need to say he's dating me.. I declined many times because my blog has always been personal. Besides I'm too lazy and I love myself too much to dig up infomation and write about other people other than myself...It did occur to me to start writing about gossips only known to the priviledged but I have no balls... I didn't want to be discriminated in that circle and I don't think I have the energy to deal with negative publicity. Judging from the traffic to the blogs involved in the catfight, I sort of regreted it.. Many would have known those "news" but most people don't, that's why so many checked out the blogs involved. With massive traffic comes advertisements.Most importantly, there may be more people willing to do a tag for me without me asking and I could even win that 50 tickets to watch a movie... Too bad I didn't. Oh well...So.. Who am I talking about??? Hm...As promised........I told him I'll blur his face.......There you go..Wearing our own spectacles..I prefer not to refer him as Mister "The letter after Q" because we don't usually address people by their name if we want to use the word Mister. Right?What I should have done to boost traffic earlier was to grow some balls and write about things that don't concern me... But I'm too lazy.. ZZzzz National Day 2008 Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..What was I doing on our national day?Swimming?? Nah.. Actually I was trying to peep from the window I was standing behind.. Too bad my camera couldn't zoom that far...Where was I peeping from?This place is so high class that they provided what seemed like LV epi leather bag for their guests to put their complimentary mineral water bottle!! If it's really LV I should kick myself real hard for not taking it. :p This place love their guests so much and for this special occasion, they specially had our flag printed on chocolates. I love Singapore so much that I made sure it is part of me by putting it into my stomach. This place is non other than the Ritz Carlton.Before the parade,a sea of red...On the bridge so close to the Merlion.Getting ready to march in.If you're on the platform watching, I bet you don't see this..08I wondered why they didn't do 0908 or 9th August in full... Then again, they'll need a hell lot of skis and we'll start questioning where our tax money go.. 08 is fineI'm fine with 08. Really..Ok. I get it. 08 means the year.NDP 08 means National Day Parade ' 08.Don't save on the ( ' ) next time.. Since I'm nearer to the helicopters, I am able to get a picture closer to the flag..Flower?And the planes go round and round..I *heart* Singapore.Water fountains.Splurt. Splash. Shoot.Lanterns floating on waterSmiley faceFireworks!Told you I was nearer to the sky...This was how it ended..With a bang! Not me though... Ah Ma De! Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Some of you might still remember. I was going out with this guy I nicknamed BB early this year.BB meant Bad Breath.. Not only did his breath stinks, he have body odour as well. If that isn't bad enough, he shaves his armpits! I will be fine if he's training for the olympics but he isn't! Ma de! What was I thinking?! I think I deserve a medal for enduring his acquired smell...Despite informing him I am already attached, he hasn't really been out of my life. He text me at least once every week till now. By the way, I haven't seen him in 6 months and it is how long I've been attached.Needless to say, I was very surprised to see BB in Taiwan...From BB car on the road,to BB shop,BB toyshop,and gals in Taiwan and Korea are so crazy over BB that they even have a cream named after him!!I even saw BB's dick!..........I am such a terrible girl!.....There is only one thing I can say....AH MA DE!!!!Wait.. Is this a Sign or what????!!!! Women Are Happier People Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Words in dark blue are from an e-mail I received from a co-worker.NICKNAMESIf Laura, Emma and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura,Emma and Sarah .If Mark, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each otheras Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.I beg to differ. We do call each other babe, pretty or hot mama. Sometimes we even call each other bitch, slut and whore. That is behind each others' back..EATING OUTWhen the bill arrives, Mark, Dave and John will each throw in £20, eventhough it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.It's a blessing if calculators were used. Usually some need the toilet suddenly, some don't have small change, some will return you 'the next time'. Usually 'the next time' will be the time no one remember anything. Congratulations, that is one free meal...MONEYA man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs.A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.Ever heard of retail theraphy?BATHROOMSA man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shavingcream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.I think the maximum is only 20. If putting all that stuff on our faces is able to slow down signs of aging, we are more than willing to add to that number.ARGUMENTSA woman has the last word in any argument.Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.Women, don't we love having that last say?Golden Rule for guys:Shut up.Listen. Try to listen. Or at least pretend to.Say sorry and you will never do that again.You will live long enough to thank me for this.. Trust me. CATSWomen love cats.Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.Keep dogs instead.FUTUREA woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.A woman worries over more after marriage because she needs to take care of a boy that will never grow up.SUCCESSA successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.A successful woman is one who can find such a man.So little of such men but so many women, that is why most of us are unsuccessful..MARRIAGEA woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.Gotta wise up. Don't expect a man to change because he never will. Don't expect a woman to remain the same because it is unlikely.DRESSING UPA woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins,answer the phone, read a book, and get the post. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.I'm definitely not such a woman and he's not such a man..AU NATURALMen wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.Women somehow deteriorate during the night.Guilty as charged. :pOFFSPRINGAh, children. A woman knows all about her children.She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favouritefoods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.If a man doesn't put in effort in raising children, they will end up not having to --> Divorce.THOUGHT FOR THE DAYA married man should forget his mistakes.There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.A woman never forget that is why we always have something to remind you of your past wrongdoings..Having said all that, I actually think women are happier people..P.S: Thank you everyone who completed the tag upon request. Sorry having to "irritate" some of you guys in the process. Whatever it is, it definitely made me a very happy woman indeed! Thank you and I love you guysl! Wall-E Movie Meme Contest!!!

God???Nah..Official. Music. Festival. Guide.People people everywhere!But sitting on the ground..I was in a tent.Full of white guys..Hey, it's spelled as Singfest, not Singapore Festival.Not a surprise if Singaporeans were outnumbered.Welcome to Singapore as this is what made us unique.No talents? Never mind..We simply import them.Uniquely Singapore!!Hear Simple Plan sing? Sunday was crazy!They came to watch One Republic.And of course the Pussy Cat Dolls!!!Sorry.. Pic is very small because I was too far away.I got this from the screen instead...I believe that is a yellow bra she wore, not her bare boobs.A tiny Alicia Keys..Can't even see her face clearly even from the screenOkay okay.. Why would you want to see tiny pictures of international stars and unclear pictures of them I took from the screen? Some people may have clearer close up pictures of these stars, so I shall stop boring you guys.Let me present..Jamie ScottBrushed shoulder with a handsome boy.. Heehee"Wa lau! Pls lah! Show one picture of ang moh wearing sunglasses, can't even see his face and you claim he is someone famous?"FINE!!!NEXT:Who is this?If you had been to Mambo you would have heard of his song, "Never Gonna Give You Up, let you down.."Rick Astley!Classic man..Why? Why? Why HB? You bitch! Why were you so lucky????I mentioned I was in a tent right?I get to rest my tired feet..Look into the mirror when my hair is messy..Best thing is I get to help myself to drinks when I needed to quench my thirst.Because I had this on my wrist for both days.All right it is nothing special because there were so many VIPs in tents around.What a pity I didn't get to play with the pussy dolls...There was one drawback. My boss kept reminding me to report for work at 9 o'clock the next day several times while I was busy with my boyfriend...Singfest was a success. I am so looking forward to next year's.Happy National Day to everyone in advance!Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore! Ah Zhong Mee Sua @ Ximending Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..One of the "die die must try" in Taiwan...Ah Zhong Mian XianPronounced as Ah Chung Mee Sua in Hokkien.Located in Ximending.Exact address?Open your mouth and ask the friendly locals. Besides, it is a good reason to look for a hot chick and ask..THB's rating:Must try before you die...Nothing like those mee sua in Singapore. For some reason, it didn't taste as nice the second time..Me eating my mee sua at Ximending.Maybe Berrie and I looked foreign. Maybe we looked very hungry. Maybe we were gobbling our mee sua. Or maybe we are 2 pretty ladies gobbling mee sua... We didn't pay much attention to people looking at us.I received a comment soon after. From him. Someone recognised me even in Taiwan.. I think I am getting famous.. =p The next time you think it is me, chances are it could be me. Please ask if you really want to know. Please let me know if there's anything stuck in my teeth and please remind me I shouldn't gobble my food in a foreign land... Berrie Berrie Everywhere Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..HB: Berrie Berrie everywhere. I can see your underwear!Berrie: No wonder my boyfriend ask me to close my legs cos can see!Meet my friend BerrieI think Berrie will either kill me or delete me from her friends' list if I show her face so make do with her side profile. She is very pretty ok. Hee..Berrie share the same name as my best working buddy at my previous sales job.Berrie share the same name with my ex lunch khaki.Berrie share the same name as my current lunch khaki.Berrie went to Taiwan with me.Berrie slept on the same bed with me in Taiwan!I met Berrie at an interview 3 years ago. I met Berrie again the next day at another interview the next day.It will be very romantic if we are a man and woman...Both of us never get the job we applied but we still remained in contact till now.I have a Berrie. Do you? 2nd Home in Taiwan Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..We may not spend most of our time at home but we can never deny that home is the most important place on earth. We have our second home in our homes and we need it when we aren't at home too.The second most important place during my Taiwan trip will be this place call.. The Toilet. All toilet tissues, hand towels used at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport are recycling papers.Unlike toilet paper used in Singapore, those in Taiwan are non-biodegradable. Flushing it away is like flushing sanitary pads. It will eventually choke toilet pipes, so used paper were thrown it bins like this..If that's not bad enough..Here's some blood..It's Thursday so it's not my fault if you didn't strike 4D.If you are reading this on a Saturday or Sunday and you didn't strike 4D, you can only blame yourself for not checking my blog earlier.. There is one remedy. Faster show this page to your gambling khakis! They won't win your money! :pThank goodness I didn't see shit on toilet paper in the bins..Despite all that, the toilets are dry, clean and doesn't smell!.................................................................................Red Building of Ximen:Pronounced as Xi Men Hong Lou. Looks are deceiving. This unattractive building is so arty farty. There are tonnes of lookalike buildings like this in Taipei.This place houses works of young artists. Even their toilet is a work of art.Basins on a stove?!Basins are actually woks!Different designs on toilet doors.I felt like I've been brought from one season to another..Glad I stepped into an artistic toilet by accident............................................................................Toilet at Rueifang train station:Instead of graffiti at the back of toilet doors, they have jokes pasted instead. This may be a good idea to change our toilet culture...Translation of joke titled "Me Too!":There was once a person who sells popsicle in a market. He was embarrassed to attract attention to generate business.Someone beside him called loudly, "Selling Popsicle!"He cried, "Me too!".................................................................................Modern Toilet Restaurant:Located in an alley on Ximenting.Theme of Restaurant is..Duh.. Toilet.Where toilet bowls greeted us.Opps!The previous person that used this must be a vegetarian..Grass in toilet bowl!!Stairway to Toilet Heaven..DecorationCosy and crowdedWhat we saw was the 2nd level. 3rd level is... Plain.Sink placed under glass table.Toilet bowl as seats.Toilet bowl decoration.This is not a bowl for shitting.It's for washing...Your hands la!Eating shit.Main course:Curry in a toilet bowl.DessertRating of food:......Like Shit.Paying $3.60 per person for entry fee is one thing. That little curry and a generous serving of crushed ice soaked in syrup cost $10. I seriously don't encourage visiting this restaurant.If you have too much money to spend you can ask for my bank account number. If you insist on burning your money, click here to their website. Taiwan is HOT! Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..I could never understand why some people gushed about babes and hunks in Taiwan. Until I saw..Woah..Shorts, translucent top with black bra..Fair skin, skinny legs and heels..What isn't hot??To flaunt your legs, try on a really short dress.The dress only cover her butt...Small time actresses are have porcelain complexion..Even students enjoying their summer vacation dress up while shopping in Ximenting.Temperature is 35 degree celsius on average.The retail assitant is cute.Most retail assistants are as cute.Anyone singing on the street looks cool.The lift operator at Taipei 101 look like this.Unlike Singaporeans, people in Taipei will never be caught dead in a pair of bermudas and slippers. Most of them put in effort to look good.Most girls apply full make up and they put on fake eye lashes... If they wear shorts and t-shirt, they will be in heels. Most guys wear sneakers and their hair are styled.If all of us spend 15 minutes more to goom ourselves everyday, we may be crowned the best dressed or maybe even the best lookng people on earth.There are no ugly people, only lazy people.. How true..Judging from what I saw on the streets, and the temperature, there is only one thing I can conclude. Taiwan is HOT! Logic Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..NOTE: Written on 18th July. Edited on 21st July. Issues have since been resolved by the time you read this."There is no logic when a person is angry."This was by far the best advice my mum ever gave me regarding relationships. She said this while we were watching Korean drama serials when the couple in the show were quarrelling.Let's recall the last time we said something hurtful to someone when we were angry. Have you ever regretted saying something?Most of the time, we deliberately use words to hurt the other party. Sometimes we secretly enjoy their exasperated expression they have on their face when they could not figure out what we want and we do enjoy keeping them guessing. We were not really looking for this kind of "fun" but it does spell ATTENTION. As long as we do get some attention, it is the case of provoke first and worry later.True. We may not be the most logical when we are angry but what really matters may not be made known at all when we cooled down. "We shouldn't spend all the time together."Ok. Then I planned a trip with my friends. This happened sometime ago."I need some alone time."I don't see you on Mondays to Fridays and I wonder what you have been up to on those days. I really don't understand why "alone" is spent in a room full of people with loud music. If that's not enough, take Saturdays and Sundays too. You can have as much whisky and music and whatever you want."I'm not going to see you unless you come and look for me at my place. I am very convinced you have no idea where I stay."A few months into the relationship, your other half still have no idea where you stay. First you question the reason. Then you try to see the logic. Last, you decide if you want to put the logic behind the reason. "Am I really a girlfriend?"If you're told you are more than that, but if you are so much more why does he not have an idea of simple things? I bet my bank account my boyfriend have no idea which schools I attended too.Example. You have never been to your girlfriend's place. Sometimes you don't even bother to text. She just got herself a Brazilian wax and you didn't even touch her. You have more than six hundred people in your facebook account and your girlfriend is not even included. Nobody will be surprised if your status still reads "Single". Wait a minute, did I just mentioned that person is a girlfriend?Let me tell you something. Even my ex fuck buddies sent me home more than once. My guys friends probably know more about me. I had been in verbal abusive relationship before. I had been cheated more than once by ex boyfriends. I may be easy to be taken advantage of but I am not okay with the above. Wounds heal but scars stay. That is why I never forget.Just because someone is nice and accomodating does not mean you have to go all out and take advantage of them. Where is the logic? There is no logic but it is always the case.Congratulations. How did I allow myself to be in such relationships before? Yes. I admit my relationships were never perfect. It is as normal as everybody's. Some may gloat, many can't wait to see my relationship fail again. Friends dating older men told me they ( older men) are all like that. They don't give a damn about details. Hey, but you do know where your boy or girlfriend stay right? It is not okay! Any reason is not a good enough reason.Some even suggested leaving such a person who don't take minimal effort at all.Relationships requires tonnes of understanding, and sometimes even understanding isn't enough. There are more things in a relationship than knowing everything about each other. There are of course things you do for each other that made everything else unimportant.It takes so much to make a relationship work but so little to break it. When affairs of the heart is concerned, I'm afraid THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOGIC. My words may be harsh. My actions may be extreme. If I do not do or say the things on my mind when I am angry, I may not get to say it at all.Logic? SCREW LOGIC. THERE IS NO LOGIC.
