What I Am Thinking About Right Now

I'm bored.

Its been 4 days since nothing came exciting came up from my agent.

I called her this morning. She said nothing.

Another agent called me at 7:30pm today. Maybe i should take her up on the call center job.

I don't know if i should take it up.

Or should i wait for banks offers again.

Hmm. Dilemmas dilemmas.

I'm bored.

What Happened to All the Nice Guys

"What Happened to All the Nice Guys?"

I see this question posted with some regularity in the personals section, so I thought I'd take a minute to explain things to the ladies out there that haven't figured it out.

What happened to all the nice guys?

The answer is simple: you did.

See, if you think back, really hard, you might vaguely remember a Platonic guy pal who always seemed to want to spend time with you. He'd tag along with you when you went shopping, stop by your place for a movie when you were lonely but didn't feel like going out, or even sit there and hold you while you sobbed and told him about how horribly the (other) guy that you were fucking treated you.

At the time, you probably joked with your girlfriends about how he was a little puppy dog, always following you around, trying to do things to get you to pay attention to him. They probably teased you because they thought he had a crush on you. Given that his behavior was, admittedly, a little pathetic, you vehemently denied having any romantic feelings for him, and buttressed your position by claiming that you were "just friends." Besides, he totally wasn't your type. I mean, he was a little too short, or too bald, or too fat, or too poor, or didn't know how to dress himself, or basically be or do any of the things that your tall, good-looking, fit, rich, stylish boyfriend at the time pulled off with such ease.

Eventually, your Platonic buddy drifted away, as your relationship with the boyfriend got more serious and spending time with this other guy was, admittedly, a little weird, if you werent dating him. More time passed, and the boyfriend eventually cheated on you, or became boring, or you realized that the things that attracted you to him weren't the kinds of things that make for a good, long-term relationship. So, now, you're single again, and after having tried the bar scene for several months having only encountered players and douche bags, you wonder, "What happened to all the nice guys?"

Well, once again, you did.

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy. You laughed at his consideration and resented his devotion. You valued the aloof boyfriend more than the attentive "just-a-" friend. Eventually, he took the hint and moved on with his life. He probably came to realize, one day, that women aren't really attracted to guys who hold doors open; or make dinners just because; or buy you a Christmas gift that you mentioned, in passing, that you really wanted five months ago; or listen when you're upset; or hold you when you cry. He came to realize that, if he wanted a woman like you, he'd have to act more like the boyfriend that you had. He probably cleaned up his look, started making some money, and generally acted like more of an asshole than he ever wanted to be.

Fact is, now, he's probably getting laid, and in a way, your ultimate rejection of him is to thank for that. And I'm sorry that it took the complete absence of "nice guys" in your life for you to realize that you missed them and wanted them. Most women will only have a handful of nice guys stumble into their lives, if that.

So, if you're looking for a nice guy, here's what you do:

1.) Build a time machine.
2.) Go back a few years and pull your head out of your ass.
3.) Take a look at what's right in front of you and grab ahold of it.

I suppose the other possibility is that you STILL don't really want a nice guy, but you feel the social pressure to at least appear to have matured beyond your infantile taste in men. In which case, you might be in luck, because the nice guy you claim to want has, in reality, shed his nice guy mantle and is out there looking to unleash his cynicism and resentment onto someone just like you.

If you were five years younger.

So, please: either stop misrepresenting what you want, or own up to the fact that you've fucked yourself over. You're getting older, after all. It's time to excise the bullshit and deal with reality. You didn't want a nice guy then, and he certainly doesn't fucking want you, now.

Sincerely,

A Recovering Nice Guy

Nice article. Shamelessly stolen from craigslist.

Lie bot, what is the saddest thing?

I laughed

Tonight's dinner

I came back from 85 tonight.

Heres some grainy pictures of 85 as proof





I finally understood what the hype over 85's ba chor mee was about. It was worth it.

Also that Chan's BBQ also nice, the chilli is shiok.

The chicken wings also nice, skin is crispy.

Oh man so full

Today, I went out!

So, i collected my Diploma today, after almost four weeks. Shows a lot about how much i care about this paper, eh?

Once i'm done with the collection, i went to visit nerd长老, passed him some certificate belonging to someone else, asked him for a favour, which is to pass the certificate to someone else. Talked to him for a while, he shook my hand, congratulated me on being able to enter a local university, i shook his hands, thanked him for teaching me in polytechnic. Before leaving, he encouraged me to read up on the the first year modules of mechanical engineering, the foundations, before entering the uni. I agree. And i left his office with "if i got any questions regarding physics, i'll call you okay." SP toilet is still as disgusting as before, unlike FC2.

After looking like an indecisive idiot at Dover MRT, i finally settled down on not going home and going to Isetan's Hokkaido Fair.


Butter manju. Comes in two flavours, custard and red bean. The fragrance of freshly baked manju is awesome because of the butter, the fillings aren't too sweet, so i guess its okay. $1.20 for each, $11 for 10.




Mochi, i bought the ones on a stick with red bean, sweet sauce (i think), then one with green tea, red bean and one with miso sauce with a leaf wrapped around it



They make it look so appetizing : D

Leaf not edible~





EXPENSIVE MELONS!!!!!!! :O







I think i'll go back to eat scallops tomorrow

Square Root of Three

I just saw Harold and Kumar, Escape from Guantanamo Bay. Towards the ending there is this very cute poem by Dave Feinberg, its called,

Square Root of Three

√3

"I’m sure that I will always be,
A lonely number like root three.
The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun,
as one point seven three two one
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed"

Oh god, so nerd and so romantic.

What..?

I modified my blog

Its best if you viewed this with a screen resolution of 1280. Not that i post things which requires a resolution of 1280 x N often.

I made the fonts larger so you guys can read easier.

I changed the width and position of some parts, because i wanted some muzik and embedded imeem.

imeem screwed the tables up, it wasn't displaying properly, so i modified it.


Also, I think my blog has boring colours. You should suggest what colours i use.

I MAEK PIE TODAY

Pastry skin dun have egg wash, no brown, then not puffy also 失败 : (

Filling can make it for parents, because no sugar, but not sweet for me 失败 : (

Shopping today

So i woke up at 9 today.

Went out today, got my face wash for cheap.

Walked to Plaza Singapura, wanted to buy apple pie, but it wasn't on promotion : (

Settled for small lemon tarts instead.

Went home, feeling that the day was done, preparing to sleep when my parents came home.

Tea time.

Then newspapers.

When i came back to my room, a missed call from my sister, and a sms

"You want to buy watch? Suntec got watch sale. only today. For dkny diesel emporio fossil etc."

Yay, i was sold on the idea.

To cut a long story short, i went down, with 20minutes to go, and i bought this:





Happy le~




Oh also i apologise to the lady promoting Heineken mini kegs at Suntec carrefour. I am prudish, but i cannot help myself

So i woke up 15minutes ago

I woke up 15minutes ago.

Which was about 35 minutes later than the 7 am alarm which i set.

Which is about one hour before i have to leave home.

So in my drunken half awake half asleep manner, i thought i was late.

I took off my shirt and pants in my room and just grab anything that was hanging behind my door to wear.

Then i realised that i'm such an idiot, so i turned this computer on and went to spread a thick layer of Nutella on my bread.

So here i am, two slices of Nutella smothered bread in my tummy, tea on my table, music in the background, fan blowing at my head from behind and me typing nonchalantly on the computer.

Today will be a good day :)

Trip to Polyclinic!

I went to the polyclinic today to get a referral.





The registration wait was okay.

It was the wait for the consultation that was killing me. I arrived around 10am, i had my consultation at 12:30pm. I didn't even spent more than 5 minutes in the room. Our healthcare system should let people with simple problems/requests have priority.

Stupid slow public healthcare system >: [


Also, my 好人脸 worked up again. Got little boy ask me to help him open a bottle cap while i'm on my way to the bus stop.

Kee zhang for breakfast!

They're mini.
Really small.
I had four.
With kaya.

Last day of work

Last day of work,

I say good bye to this cold place



Thats -33 deg C


And i donated blood!











All i got in return was a stupid sticker, a pack of iron pills, a squishy ball, some nice looking bandage, a cup of drink and a curry puff.



Hay not bad at all

Something i wrote to share with you guys

I wrote this minutes for an exercise under the module called Communication Skills for Work, while i'm still in SP.

I sat in front of my computer wondering how should i write something decent. I couldn't. So i went wild instead.

好人脸

I have a 好人脸.

What is a 好人脸? You ask.

It is the type of face which you look to when you're lost or in need of help, knowing that you need not repay the favour.

Throughout the two months of traveling to and fro my workplace. I have several fellow MRT passengers or people on the streets asking me for directions. In the first month, i had three old uncles asking me the location of places in Singapore. And if they are on the right train to the destination.

In my second month, while waiting for that slow train to Boon Lay MRT station to chug into Outram Park MRT station, an elderly Japanese man with his family tagging along approached me, with halting English, he asked

"Harro... Chinatown... how to...?"

I understood ( ) what he needed and led him to the NE line, while flaunting my halting Japanese

"Nihonjin deska~?"

"Yes yes, Ohhhhh your japanese good-de~"

Heh, . After leading him to the right train, he bowed together with his wife, we bid our farewell and i slow jogged back to catch my train.

Then today, as i was making my way through the traffic to the MRT station and simultaneously beoing this hot girl in front of me, a Chinese tourist, not hot, approached me out of the many pedestrians, to ask me for street directions.

I couldn't help him, so i just said sorry and made my way, behind the pretty girl to the MRT station.

These incidents, where i was approached for directions and help, led me believe i have 好人脸. Approachable, and posing no threat.











Also how people always come talk to me only when they need help, fags.

張懸：寶貝

"我的寶貝寶貝　給你一點甜甜　讓你今夜都好眠
我的小鬼小鬼 逗逗你的眉眼　讓你喜歡這世界

哇啦啦啦啦啦　我的寶貝　倦的時候有個人陪
哎呀呀呀呀呀　我的寶貝 要你知道你最美

我的寶貝寶貝　給你一點甜甜　讓你今夜很好眠
我的小鬼小鬼 捏捏你的小臉　讓你喜歡整個明天

哇啦啦啦啦啦　我的寶貝　倦的時候有個人陪
哎呀呀呀呀呀　我的寶貝 要你知道你最美

哇啦啦啦啦啦　我的寶貝　孤單時有人把你想念
哎呀呀呀呀呀　我的寶貝 要你知道你最美"

I was browsing Amulet's BB blog this afternoon and i chanced upon this song!

What a find!

How is blogging like?
