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. Leave Status Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Leave Application: 22nd July 2008 to 28th July 2008Reason: Boyfriend have no time for me. I miss taking a plane.Leave Status: Approved!!!I'm off to Taiwan! Taiwan Taiwan here I come!!! I'll be back with more stories. More pictures. More CRAP!!! And more toys!!! I'm entitled to have a little fun with myself right? P.S: Your dose of THB will still be available during this period. I Miss Angry Sex Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Have you ever been so angry that you feel like fucking someone upside down?I am still pissed with DHL but I wouldn't want to fuck any of them physically. I only fucked those involved with words verbally. They arranged a special delivery for me on a Saturday to my office to find the office closed! THERE IS NO CURE FOR STUPIDITY.I miss angry sex. I haven't had angry sex in ages. I can't remember how many years ago was that. I miss the intensity.Usually people pissed me off but seldom the other way round.When I am angry I don't even want to look at the other party let alone let the other party touch me. From not getting much to not getting any at all.. I hate being angry.FUCK.I MISS ANGRY SEX. The DHL Experience Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..THIS IS A WORD ONLY ENTRY. IT'S GOING TO BE LOOOONG.Written on 15th July 2008:DHL's reply:Thank you for contacting us via our DHL Singapore Website Thank you for your compliment about our colleague, J.K. We are pleased to receive your feedback and will share your comments with all our colleagues and Management. We endeavor to provide a consistent and high level of service to our customers and find their satisfaction with our service most rewarding. Thank you for your effort and time spent in sharing your invaluable comments with us. Please feel free to send in your feedback as we strive to continuously improve ourselves and serve our customers better. We look forward to your ongoing support for DHL and our services. With Regards RZ..............................................................I will not hesitate to write a compliment letter when I felt that that the person deserved it. I do not hesitate to write a complain letter too...............................................................Now, the real deal:On 26th June 2008, I arranged for some documents to be picked up in Singapore to London on 27th June 2008. This was a round trip freight (Singapore-London-Singapore).Jo contacted me upon receiving my fax. I was impressed as his replies and updates were prompt initially. I explained that the return documents are urgent, London's side will not sign on anything collected and I will inform DHL when it have to be picked up. I was told that all these could be arranged. I contacted Jo at his direct line (6880 xxxx) on 10th and 11th July 2008 but I could not reach him as I was directed to his voicemail everytime I called. It was only with help from several Customer Service Officers by leaving my contact details that I finally managed to speak to him in the afternoon on 11th July. He promised to keep me updated on the status should anything cropped up. Today, 15th July 2008, thanks to a CSO's help, Jo finally returned my call. He told me DHL London informed him they were unable to collect my documents as no one is willing to sign on documents collected. (HE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THIS ON FRIDAY!!!) Firstly, I would like to know why DHL accepted my order when I already stated the problem ( in the case when signature is required) Second, why is your staff uncontactable at all times during office hours at his direct line? Third, I understand that your agent do not work 24/7 hence I did not pressure DHL on 12th, 13th and 14th July. I only receive a call from your staff today at approximately 3.15pm with the help of the CSO. There is one and a half working day grace, why wasn't the customer being informed during this period? I am convinced I will never receive any call from Jo if I did not take the initiative to contact him. If I was informed earlier, I could have made alternative arrangements. Please understand my frustration as this air freight had been dragged long enough and this is not a case where things can be solved with a mere "sorry I was busy" from your staff. Needless to say, I am sorely dissapointed with DHL, or rather DHL's staff after this incident. I hope to hear from DHL regarding this matter and I hope there will be an improvement in this aspect in future...............................................................DHL's Reply (which I think is computer generated):Thank you for contacting us via our DHL Singapore Website We are sorry that you did not receive the excellent service you deserve and on behalf of DHL, please accept our sincere apologies for any difficulties caused. We value your feedback and we will highlight this matter to the management team for their necessary actions to remedy the situation you had experienced. In the meantime, we would appreciate if you could provide us with the DHL airwaybill number or the reference number for this round trip arrangement so that we could assist you better. With Regards R.Z Customer Care Executive....................................................................................It is less than a month and you guys should have my record. Moreover, the business isn't over!....................................................................................Dear R,Thank you for your prompt reply.Since Jo was too busy handling other clients to the extent that he could not even pick up any calls, I have already arranged my documents to be delivered by another company as I cannot afford to spare another five days. I may consider DHL for bigger shipments in future since I know for sure that bigger shipments have priorities but I will no longer consider DHL for smaller shipments in future.You may consider this case closed as I no longer require DHL's services now. Thank you for your time.Regards,THB..................................................................................Still on 15th July 2008 ( mail to London before the long complain letter ) :Hello, My DHL agent just updated me that they are unable to collect my transcripts without any signature. Please arrange the transcripts to be sent to Singapore via Royal Mail. I will appreciate if I can receive it within these few days as it is very urgent. Thank you. Regards,THB.....................................................................17th July 2008, mail from London:Dear THB, This is to inform you that DHL have now collected your documents on the understanding that you have taken full responsibility for them. Kind regards, Graduation Documents Office (FLS) (ExxA)................................................................I AM SO NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE RETURN AIR FREIGHT.NOTE: Names have been changed to "protect" the people involved. In Singapore Only Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔...Spain have Flamenco.Japan have Para Para.Australia have the Melbourne shuffle.Singapore have MAMBO JAMBO!!!The Ultimate Mambo Jambo Dance Off on 9th July 2008.Friend: Eh.. Tonight Mambo dance competition. Want to go and laugh?HB: OK!!!Mambo Jambo had been around for 16 years. Foreigners visiting Singapore actually make it a point to drop by Zouk on Wednesday to watch our synchronized dancing!You cannot claimed you have been clubbing in Singapore if you haven't been here dancing/laughing along...One of my favorite song.. I always sing and write about it.Oooh Heaven is a place on earth!!I feel the love seeing this couple dance. Why are you laughing???!!! I admit it is funny because the guy in front of me obviously couldn't stand straight.It takes a great deal of courage to dance in front of so many live audience okay???!!!Runner - Up They were the reason why giving up sleep on a Wednesday night is worth it. Cute guys in PINK. Most importantly, I almost died laughing while watching..34 seconds into the video you can hear me laughing and witness my camera shaking.Last but not least... The Winner! 3 guys who name themselves MJ something something.. Something as in I can't remember because their group name is bloody long.They look gay with gloves but they provided real entertainment and I believed it was the reason why they won. They can dance!!! One of them look like "Kenny Sia". =pImagine the whole dance floor dancing like that. Welcome to Mambo Jambo. In Singapore Only.These guys do get a lot of female and male attention dancing like that. Many 18 year olds may even aspire to be like them. It's always a joy receiving free entertainment but please leave the platform for the younger generation if you realize age is catching up.. Though a joy to watch but I'm sorry to say.. Guys, you're never gonna get laid if you still dance like that in your 30s... When the time comes... Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..He was down with terrible cough leaving him almost breathless a couple of times last weekend.This weekend, his ankle was swollen and he could hardly walk.The only place we stayed put was his bed. Initially I was scared, then I was worried, then I was frustrated.When I was scared. I exercised caution and I remained alert for most things. It may seemed a little far fetched, but I was afraid he will cough, choke and stop breathing in the middle of the night.When coughs and swollen feet occured more than once, I wasn't scared anymore. It got me worried. Worried that it may be something more serious and it may cause permanent damage in future.When things did not improve, I got frustrated. Health problems cannot be solved merely with words alone. I believed action speaks louder than words. Even with action, it will require time."You better watch your diet. We can't spend every weekend like this," I said.Try two weekends staying in bed with not much action and communication, I bet you will be feeling the same way."You do realise I will go before you right?" He said to me one night.If he is only one or two years older, the answer will be maybe or even a no. Thing is, my boyfriend is 13 years my senior. Unless I met with some terrible accident, I think the answer is a definite yes.It got me thinking. Am I prepared to accept and deal with it?Are we prepared if a loved one require our full attention if they are unable to take care of themselves someday?If it's our flesh and blood, parents will have the responsibility to take care of their kids. If it's our parents, we have the responsibility to take care of them too. What if it's our other half? We're not related by blood. Do we have the responsibility too? Chances are, we will.As a human, we should never abandon a loved one. Since we chose our partners ourselves, we do have the obligation to stick with them. Unless you are talking about cheating and irresponsible partners, it will be another story.Whatever happen to "in sickness or in health", "I'll love you no matter what happens" etc? Screw all that. We do get attention when we fall sick, only if it isn't frequent. It's like having many friends and family members visiting you the first time you were hospitalised. Try staying in a hospital for a year and see how many of them are left.In my opinion, nobody likes sick people. If we do like sick people, there wouldn't be reports on abandoned sickly kids, spouses or even elderly making it onto headlines. Although some deserved it due to their eating habits but some cases are purely hereditary. Nobody chose to be unwell. There are many things we think and say what we can do. We may also curse and swear those we deemed heartless. We will only know what we can and will do when we are in that situation when the time comes. Like what people say, "Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst." We cannot rely on others to take care of us if anything happens. We can only do our best to stay healthy and optimistic. Name Calling Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. Bitch.Slut.Whore.Cheap. Fat ass.Bastard.Jerk.Dickhead. Playboy. Asshole. Weirdo. Dirty Old Man.STUPID!Why are we giving others names when they already have one?Because they have weird names.Because we can't remember their names.Because they bloody deserve it!A few days ago, someone offered me $7000 to do an orgy...WOAH!!!The initial deal was 5 guys on 2 gals for $6000 (each) but then it increase to 6 guys on 2 gals and then $7000 for each gal but I turned it down...Was I crazy??!! Many people would do it free because it seemed to be good money and it isn't easy to find people game enough for it. It can easily be a once in a lifetime experience. To be offerred money to do it? You do know how many bags I can buy with that right?? WOW!!! I wonder if the pay scale is higher if I allow videos to be taken. Don't you envy me?The excitement is like having someone offer me $7000 to write an article. If someone offered me the same amount of money to write, I'll say "SCREW ALL THE BLOGS AWARDS! I GOT 7K JUST TO WRITE an ARTICLE! KISS MY ASS! "Sad to say it didn't happen. My $0.20 per word/$200 per article deal fell through and I can only dream about it.If I accepted the offer, I'll definitely blog about it. I already call myself a bitch. I have no idea how bad names can get and I can't imagine how long will be the list of names I'll be called.Keyword : HORNYA HB who is a HB.Anything wrong?Why do we give ourselves certain nicknames?Because we feel like it.Because it describes us better.Because it is more appropriate.What was I thinking? Who in the right mind call themselves a horny bitch? I'm only a nobody who needed to do a little confession about her sex life in this oh-so-conservative-environment.Writing about sex and admiting I enjoy sex got some HOLY INNOCENT VIRGINS (what I'll like to believe) to start these name calling. My name must have taste good because it is always in somebody's mouth..It wasn't easy coping with those name calling. It wasn't easy hiding my identity. It wasn't easy to make others see things from my point of view.I didn't understand why these people hate me when I don't even know them.It's ok if you don't like me because there is nothing I can do. You don't pay my bills and I don't have to please you.As time goes by, I realised there are people like me everywhere. I am not only a horny bitch, I AM THE HORNY BITCH.We can have sex and we can't write about it??? If I like it and I can't admit it? Where is the logic?! That's why those name calling didn't stop me from writing.People who engage in pre-maritial sex have sinned.All right. People like me who engage in pre-maritial sex, enjoy sex and admit enjoying sex via their blogs should all burn in hell.If you're that holy you probably shouldn't be reading about sex in the first place.There are many things some people do online we don't quite agree.There are many things I don't agree too. Unless you are a HOLY INNOCENT VIRGIN, who are we to judge and label others in the first place? 我的心还很疼 My Heart Still Aches Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..NOTE: The below are not lyrics from some song but rather written by THB. It does not reflect THB's mood and current situation. Please refer to the comments page to read various version of translation and be ready to laugh your head off. No prizes for best translation. =p 你说 你,喜欢我的温柔 喜欢我的纯喜欢我的真喜欢我躺在你怀里沉睡 当你问我喜欢你什么时我只回句我不知道不知道我爱你有多深不知道你爱我有真也不知道为何眼前人是你只知道每次醒来只怕你不在总觉得在你身边却走不进你的世界我只能在门外静静地等待你给的爱那么多我还觉得不够是不是你的爱把我给宠坏每段感情路每一次付出每一次换来太多委屈每次走到尽头才发现原来你爱的她不是我我受过的伤太重我的心还很疼请您好好爱我 TVs are EVIL Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..According to Stanford News Service, TV in bedrooms are linked to lower test scores for children.According to Medindia.com, Unhealthy Habits in Teens Related to Watching TV in Bedrooms. For step-parents who hate their spouse's kid from previous marriage, Please get a 40 inch High Definition televition set for your children if you want them to be unhealthy and if you don't want them to do so well in school.There are so many reports on effects on children having a TV in their bedrooms, what about adults? I seriously think TVs are EVIL and they should be banned in bedrooms.Gone were the days when TVs are luxury items and the only place you want entertainment are the various community centres. The whole village gather and watch tv together. I believe some people would rather stay at home and have sex than walk a mile to watch tv. I think this was one of the reason we had higher birth rates...Gone were the days when each family only had one tv at home. Every family member watch tv together. Now tvs are cheaper, we have our own tvs, so we won't have to fight if we want to watch different channels.Gones were the days when dinner is strictly dinner. TV is the new family member because it is included during dinners now.Gone were the days when fathers are the head of the family. TV is the new head of the family because everyone actually pays attention to it...I am guilty of the above and sometimes I'll rather go home and catch my favourite television prorammes comfortably on my bed than do some catching up with friends after work.When you have a TV in bedroom, you will be too engrossed with the programmes and fail to acknowledge your other half's presence. You will fail to pick up signals from your other half and in turn piss your othe half off.Do you seriously think you will still have bedroom activities when your partner is angry? Both parties don't get it..We cannot ban TVs at home but I think TVs in bedroom should be banned.TVs are EVIL. Pissed Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..Pissed. A little pissed. Quite pissed. Extremely pissed.I received some SPAM e-mail from some finalists for the blog awards. If you want to spam, please do it on your own blog. Don't rub salt onto my wound by bragging. Since you are a finalist, you should have more readers, more comments and probably a hate site. Your readers or fans should love adore you enough to vote for you everyday. And you don't even need to ask.You don't need my vote. A vote from someone who don't read your blog. I have four e-mail addresses on my last count but I am not going to vote for you, so please go create more e-mail accounts and vote for yourself because that will be what I'll be doing besides whoring for votes on my blog.I don't even know you and I don't even know you have a blog and I don't even think your blog is interesting. I read at least 10 posts to form my opinion.I still think my blog is better.YES, I AM UTTERLY BITTER ABOUT IT, but it's all right...While you spam inboxes whoring for your votes, I'm probably sitting in a corner of some club burping from drinking too much champagne and scheming my way to some free parties...Peace PISSED. A Day Well Spent Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔..The other volunteers and I did not spend our whole afternoon at the home. Instead, we visited a museum nearby. Museum???!!! Nearby at Pasir Panjang???!!!When we mention museum, we think of Art Museum, National Museum, Army Museum or even Peranakan Museum. Yes. It's call Reflections at Bukit Chandu.31K Pepys Road S(118458)Opening Hours: 9am-5pm, Tuesdays to SundaysMark it down your calendar folks. Who said there is nowhere to go and nothing new to do in Sinapore? Before entering the unheard museum.The bunglow, now a museum awaiting visitors.On closer look.Woman suntanning her armpits.They're definitely not saying hi..Words by BG (NS) George Yeo."If we do not remember our heroes, we will produce no heroes.If we do not record their sacrifices, their sacrifices would have been in vain...the greatest strength we have as a people is our common memories of the past and our common hopes for the future...For without those memories, the next generation will not have the fighting spirit to carry on."Museums are always artistic.Even the rubbish bin looks nice.No free lunch in the world.You need to pay entrance fee...Children below 6 years old get to go in free.Students who still need to wear uniform to school have to pay $1.Senior citizens $1.$2 for adults.Family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children only need to pay $5.See, Singaporeans love packages. Even museums have to price their entrance in package..Since all the volunteers support The Arsenal, we got excited when we see a familiar word.In museums, we usually see ang mohs/foreigners..Singaporeans don't wear hats..Opps. That is the president of Arsenal Singapore F.C.Sorry sorry. Japanese soldier.The wall.Decoration.Painting.War hero.Uniform of the Malay Regiment.Saluting the Malays' role in Singapore History.A lot of things were clearly left out in our history textbooks. I only remember 1 war hero and he is Lim Bo Seng. Nothing much was mentioned about defence from the Malay community. You can find more details at the Reflections.Prisoner of War.The guide.Bukit Chandu = Opium Hill.Only 75m tall (less than half of Bukit Timah).Opium was legal!!!View from bunglow.What a lucky guy..Gooner volunteers.The garden.After the museum, the kids were restless and started complaining..We had to proceed to part two.Hort Park go down on the left, Science Park to the right.I wonder what is in Hort Park.. Is the park hort?Do people do science in Science Park? Probably some chemistry, then physical and finally biology..Canopy walk.The view.Another old bunglow.She ain't heavy, she's my friend.Finally, at Kent Ridge Park.Do not climb on it.Now I know why people visit parks. =)Food for thought.Cake for the Birthday Girl.Everybody..Sorry. Somebody had to climb or we can't take this picture.Photographer in the making.Pictures taken by the boy..It was a nice, sunny and hot day until it rained.. ( -.- )Nontheless, a day well spent... Love Every Human Confession of the day.. 今日的忏悔.. 4 seperate events.3 beneficiaries.2 times volunteering.1 purpose.To make some children happy happier. 11 January 2008 at Elizabeth Hotel with fellow gooners,and some children from The Haven.8 June 2008 at Vivocity.For The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund.13 June 2008 at DFS Galleria with Mr HB.All proceeds from the auction will be donated to Bali Bridges.Mr HB didn't win his bid. :(28 June 2008, back to The Haven with fellow gooners.There were:No fancy chairs.No fancy staircases.No fancy decorations.No latest technology.No fancy floor tiles.No fancy playgrounds.Surrounded by nicer buildings.It's year 2008 in Singapore, but I don't have that feeling here..How will these children turn out in ten years time?These children are not orphans.These children are not disabled.These children are not delinquents.These children, were abandoned, abused and neglected.Some told me:"I have a new mother."I have no children of my own, but will I ever put my children in a home when I'm starting a new family?"Tomorrow's my birthday, but my mother need to work so she can't visit me today."I have no children of my own, but will I ever miss my children's birthday because of work."I dunno where my father is and my mother don't visit me often."I have no children of my own, but will I ever find peace when I'm able to but not taking care of my own children?My heart ached when I heard that. Have they been forgotten? I wondered.The sad thing is not being around the people you love.The saddest thing is to be forgotten by the people you love..My parents are still married. I will never understand how children from broken families and single parent families feels.Birthdays are always celebrated with a birthday cake with my family until I turned 21. I haven't really thank them formally.I get to see my parents everyday but I find them naggy sometimes. I should be shot for taking my parents for granted. These children will kill to be in my shoes.Every family have its dirty linen.Every child have their own story.Every child need a proper home.Every child needs love.Every human need love.We should, Love Every Human. Love,The Human Being
