Basically this is a A Man's Dating Life Cycle:
Stage 1 - 10 to 60 years old
You did not see wrongly. From the day you start surfing porn sites or read men's magazines, your dating career has started. Boys and men are always looking for girlfriends, no matter how much they deny it.
You must be asking, "why until 60 years old?" Because a man's sperm is active until 60 years old.
Ok end of analysis.... (WHAT!!! Thats all??? Please share with us mortals more)
Okok... I have some friends who are pretty good with girls while some are not so good. So I will share with you the many different school of thoughts from my friends.
1. An NTU Engineering student, 24
"I believe in using sincerity to touch her heart and being nice to her. I don't believe in using those tricks like all those bad boys."
My comment: This is the oldest school of thought. The "traditional" way of courtship. Being nice and gentleman to the girl is of utmost importance. Buying flowers, treating her to movies and dinner are the ways to win her heart. In my opinion, this is the hardest way to win a girl's heart because you are making things difficult for yourself. A girl once in "courtship" mode, will do all kinds of stunts to test your sincerity. Which includes whether you rememeber the little details about her, how much effort you put into her birthday and how you handle her tantrums etc. You will regret the day you declare to court her. But on a positive note, you will be glad its not in the olden times, if not you are required to slay dragons or save her from some evil knight. Now you only need to buy her flowers.
Recommended: To guys who love a challenge and guys who believe that you can bribe a girl to like you and especially to those who like to torture themselves. If you are not any of these 3, don't use it.
2. Recently employed, 24, and Long lost hockey teammate, 24
"I read all those tips and tricks from books and websites. They are pretty useful in my successes with girls."
Comment: Seriously I have never met one guy who told me they read this and that and they are super successful. The most is I met guys who claim they are successful but I can never vouch for that. They are only claims. Reading these range from remembering scripts and learning theories to familiarising with the principles. Sounds like studying to me. I have a close female friend who was a attempted target for my hockey teammate who read these. She told me she found him wierd.
Recommended: Reading about things that help you in life, why not, go ahead and read it, if it really helps you. But no matter how much you read, it won't help unless you have the right attitude. Recommended for people who wants to improve their dating life but not people with twisted mind. With great powers come greater responsibilities.
3. An SAF regular, 24 and My "I can't made up my mind" buddy, 24
"Must be daring and bold in doing things and nice to her at the right time."
Comment: I will elaborate more on that statement. These people are bold whether in asking a girl out or doing something that might risk making the girl angry. They believe in treating girls nice but will not compromise to the extent of making themselves look weak. The most balanced school of thought in my opinion. You are nice and have self-respect and won't take nonsenses from people. Nice...
Recommended: In fact everyone. But the most difficult to achieve because not everyone is bold naturally and a lot of guys attached a lot of value to the girl they like. As I say its all about attitude, attitude and attitude.
Disclaimer
I will not be liable for any heartbreaks which results from the use of these 3 school of thoughts' methods of courtship. Whether you are the one who uses it or it is being used on you.
If you have any other school of thoughts and would to share with the millions and millions of my fans around the world, please drop me a mail or tag. Many people are waiting for YOU to help them.
If any of you would like to study in 1 of the 3 schools, namely School 1 (the classic way) which earns you a diploma, School 2 (the scientific way) which earns you a Bachelor of Science and School 3 (the attitude way) which earns you the Bachelor of Arts. Please contact me and I will arrange for you to meet any of my distinguished lecturer friends. A small agent fee applies.
For the next issue, maybe I will write more on School 1, the classical way of courting your death, sorry I meant courtship. Typo....

A Woman's Dating Life Cycle
As you grow older, you realise girls around you get more nervous. Not that it is any concern to me, as girls are always nervous around me. They are nervous because they are STILL not married! Guys don't worry, we have a dating life span 10 years more than women. A 40 year old man can still date a 25 year old woman, just look at Jack Nicholason, he is 60 plus (or is it 70?), and he dates women much younger than him (ok you are not Jack Nicholason but you get my point). Whats more, you are given the honour of "eligible bachelor" when you are old and single, while women are called "spinster" (what has old and single women to do with spinning, I do not understand).
I shall enlighten my readers what a typical female dating life cycle looks like:
Stage 1 - 13 to 18 years old (experimenting stage)
At this stage, they don't really know what they want, they might have a rough idea of what kind of a boyfriend they want but usually its only an idea. So at this stage, they don't really care how much money you have, they just have to think you are cute or handsome. Best is to add in a tough guy image but have a soft heart inside kind. Examples are my cousins. They have double digits number of boyfriends, probably have hit the 20 mark and had drain them of all their resources (read carrotheads). To further prove my theory, their boyfriends are the following, jobless, students, wanderer, chiongster, ah-bengs and etc.
Stage 2 - 18 to 25 years (seriously looking)
As I say, since they have a shorter dating life span, they will be tired of experimenting with all the wrong guys, the jerks, assholes and playboys (curiously some take a longer time to learn). At this stage they would already be looking for "The One". They will have all these illusions about "The One". The younger they are at this stage, the more illusions they have. At this stage, they are at the peak of their lives. They probably have a few suitors or a dozens, depending on how many stupid men they know. With so many choices and so little time, they will divide men into 2 groups, forever friends and frogs that might become a Prince. Guys, I can hear you protesting how come all of you are frogs?! Let me ask you this (only for those who have gf b4), when you have a gf, did they ever try to change you? Touch your heart and answer me. Of course they did! Thats why you are a FROG and they kiss a frog in the hope they become a prince and some even get married. This is also the stage where they always play hard to get because they have so much time (its an illusion). They want to take their time to choose.
Stage 3 - 25 to 30 years old (expiring)
By this time, you should have a boyfriend. If you don't have, you should start panicking. At this moment, you might regret why didn't you reciprocate that guy's affection, and now he is happily married. How could you have miss such a good catch?! What were you thinking? And suddenly, you realise all the good men are either attached or married. You now know that those nice and boring men, are really the ONES you want. They are nice, sensitive, put your needs first, listens to you and endure your nonsenses (mood swings). Worse, you have to compete with younger women for men's attention. Now at this stage, your options are more open (desperate), the older you get the more open your options are.
I would really love to draw a graph and even use game theory to analyse these stages with you but due to limitations of this blog, I couldn't illustrate to you these.
For more advices and enquiries, please drop me a msg on msn.
For the next coming issue, I will analyse with you A Man's Dating Life Cycle.

Waiting for you
We were eating lunch together, then she told me she would wait for that guy until next year June. I look on nonchalantly eating my food. I was actually surprised that she told me this. She actually wanted to wait forever, even if nothing comes out of it.
Her best friend told her it was foolish to do so, what if she waited for 10 years and he got married or someone better came along, is she going to give it up? She would be foolish to waste her time and life. She looked at me, and asked what I think. I looked away and answered, that she should wait as long as she like.....
I lied.... I don't believe in waiting for someone because if something is not going to work out, it won't and waiting doesn't help. I told her that the person she is waiting for is her husband, so its worth waiting. Not long ago, she told me she was getting a divorce and she is enjoying singlehood. We would always talk about the merits of being single, like how we were not obliged to go to our partner's house even though we would love to stay at home and no need to report about what we are doing.
I told her I am also waiting for something....Waiting for my guilt to be overcome. I am waiting for my ex-girlfriend to find a boyfriend first before I move on. She told me I was foolish to do that but hey, who wanted to actually wait for someone forever??
Anyway the trend for me seem to be that after a relationship, I would take at least a year to bounce back. I thought about her next June deadline for waiting. That seem like a long time. As to why I lied about my opinion, it was for a selfish reason....

Pieces
As I lie on my hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling fan spinning, memories flash past my mind. I saw her petite figure standing and leaning against the glass panel on the train. I thought to myself, what if I had not pretend not to hear what she said that day on the train, would things be different? She said those words,
Her: "I would be sad if I didn't see you tomorrow."
Me: "Huh? What did you say? I didn't heard what you say..."
Her: "Nothing." (shaking her head and then looking sideways)
I came back to reality, then my vision blurred and another image appeared, I was at the traffic lights waiting to cross the road and it was an afternoon. I made a call to a girl,
Me: "Hello."
Her: "Hello." (a sleepy voice)
Me: "You just woke up?"
Her: "Yah... Slept quite late last night because I was at a chalet."
Me: "Orh... Erm... Sorry about that night that I got drunk."
Her: "Its ok..."
Me: "What happened? Because I can't remember."
Her: "I don't want to talk about it."
If I had not pretend to forget about what happened that night. Would things be different?
Slowly everything changes and I was at an underpass. A girl was wearing purple clothes, she took off her sandals because she has injured her foot and walk barefooted beside me giggling and I was laughing.
Me: "Wah lau eh.... Its embarassing lei to do that in public."
Her: "Hehe.... Never mind lah."
Would things be different if she doesn't have a boyfriend?
Then I found myself at a cafe and a fair girl in white top sat opposite of me. She was eating vegetable spaghetti and she told me,
Her: "Take some more lah." (smiling)
Me: "Orh... Ok." (obliging and eating the spaghetti)
Her: "Hahahaha." (suddenly laughing)
Me: "What is so funny?" (very puzzled)
Her: "Nothing." (shaking her head like a little girl and still laughing)
Me: "Huh?"
As we walk back from lunch, we were both laughing very hard at something until my stomach hurts. It was happy and fun. Would things be different if she wasn't married before?
I was lying on my right side on the bed and I was woken up by a soft kiss to my lips. I slowly open my eyes and saw a girl wearing black and hair tied back, standing up from a kneeing position beside my bed. It was a familiar figure,
Me: "Are you going to work?" (sleepy voice)
Her: "Yah... You continue to sleep some more lah." (her beautiful face smiling)
Me: "I want another kiss." (smiling)
Would things be different if we were still together?
Mr Wall, my campmate, confidante and friend's image then appeared in front of me. He said,
Mr Wall: "Do you want to be lying on the hospital bed when you are old and think what could have happened? People think they have a lot of time but before you know you are already old and fragile."
I looked at the computer screen and thought about what he said yesterday.......
Her: "I would be sad if I didn't see you tomorrow."
Me: "Huh? What did you say? I didn't heard what you say..."
Her: "Nothing." (shaking her head and then looking sideways)

Pictures of Your Object of Desire
Just now a friend sent me a photo of his object of affection through msn. While I was looking at it using the Windows Picture and Fax viewer, I realise that I have some pictures of my friends' objects of desire while scrolling. Come to think of it, my friends sometimes send me pictures of girls they like.
Ironically I do not have any photos of girls that I like, instead I have photos of girls that my friends like. I wonder how they got their photos, they are not photos that they took with them but photos of the girl alone or with someone else. I even saw one which is a IC photo!
While I only have my memory, they can take out the photo to admire when they don't see them. Seriously how did you all get the photos ah?? Because I never thought of asking for photos or even taking them from friends.
Strange isn't it.....

The stories of a glass heart and a fence
Someone once described a person's heart as a glass. When it is broken the first time, it breaks into a few pieces, then someone comes along and stick it back. The second time it breaks and yet again, someone tries to mend it back. Though they try to fix it back as well as they could, the cracks/scars still can be seen. Each time it breaks, it breaks into smaller pieces and when mended beack, more and more lines/scars can be seen. This glass can never be perfect again...
---- Extract from Rayvin's blog
Once I read a story about a father who told his son who had a bad temper,
"Son, for eveytime you get angry and loses your temper on someone, I want you to hit a nail into the fence in front of our house."
He followed his father's instruction and hit a nail into the fence everytime he got angry with someone. Soon the fence was full of nails. Then the father told the son,
"Now I also want you to extract a nail from the fence everytime you do something good for someone."
The son obeyed his father's instruction and soon find it an achievement to be extracting out the nails one by one. Soon all the nails on the fence are extracted out. The son was happy and ran to his father,
"Father, father, all the nails from the fence are gone!"
Smiling at his son, the father followed his son to look at the fence and asked him,
"Do you see those holes on the fence?" The son replied, "Yes father."
"Eveytime you lose your temper on someone, its like hitting a nail into a person's heart, you may have extracted the nails out but the holes will always be there and can never be mend."
To me, it implies the consequences of hurting someone and also being hurt yourself. I think through what I did before and I am sorry.... Feeling remorseful these few days... God please forgive me and people please forgive me....

Looking Forward to Something Everyday
Have you ever had the feeling of looking forward to something? A big football game, meeting with old friends or a birthday party are occasional events. What I meant is the everyday thing. What I look forward to everyday is lunch. Not because of food but because I look forward to eating with a girl. I enjoy having lunch with her because everytime we would have funny things to talk about and something hilarious to laugh at. It was fun just being with her and I enjoy her company. Lunch is always happy.
Not too long ago, I remember that I used to look forward to lunch with another girl, we would always engage in bantering. Then when lunch came, we would go to explore various places to have lunch, we once walk from Raffles Place to as far as Tanjong Pagar to have lunch. She was what I looked forward to lunch. I enjoy her company alot. Then she left....
A few years ago, I used to looked forward to PE in school because I will get to see my ex-girlfriend then who at that time is still not my girlfriend. We were from different classes so PE is a great opportunity for me to see her and converse with her. One day, she changed PE class, of course I was disappointed. At that time, I thought maybe thats it, we won't see each other again. But luck has it, that we share common friends, so I would have an excuse to keep in contact with her.
Things are a bit different now. I don't know its my ego or my pride (are they the same?) or I am just lazy. I just find no reason nor strength to keep in contact with people whom I really enjoy their company, after they have left.
Anyway I don't look forward to lunch anymore because she has left too......

Hello Kitty (Part 1)
When I first saw her, the first thing I said to her was,
Me: "So you were the one who anyhow throw my apps??" (smile)
Ms Kitty: "Huh?" (giving me a blank look)
Me: "Those (credit card)applications that were pass to me by my part timers that Saturday."
Ms Kitty: "Orh..." (smiling with no remorse at all, those are $$ you know) -_-"
It was a simple introduction, a beautiful smile and I could remember it clearly that was in June. She was the customer service officer(CSO) then taking care of the credit card retail hub and I the Sales Officer.
The second time I saw her at the same place, brochures littered around the floor and she was picking them up and I said,
Me: "You look helpless, do you need my help?"
Ms Kitty: "Hahahaha.... Ok." (laughing)
She has a demure and girlish appearance, slim with long hair. When she goes for lunch, I would mann the retail hub for her and everytime something wrong would happen, printer spoil, fax machine not working, photocopying of vouchers not done properly etc.... And then she is the kind that panics easily. -_-" Everytime we will find it funny to laugh at and we would accuse each other of being the jinx.
For weeks, we would often see each other a few times at the same place.....

Credit Card, Dream Girl and Lily
Me: "Do you accept NETS?
Indian Waiter: "Erm... what is NETS??" (looking stumped with an Indian accent)
Me: "You know NETS??" (givng him a look of hint and as if repeating the word NETS would enlighten him)
Indian Waiter: "........." (an even stumpier look)
Ms Lily looking at the Indian waiter, thought that he might not be able to comprehend what is NETS until the end of the world, then took her OCBC Titanium Card (the power to take control) and save him. Curiously he knows what is a credit card but not NETS!? I mean who doesn't use NETS??
This time a waitress came back with our bill. I can see the waitress is a smart girl because she puts the bill in front of me expecting me to sign. I will be very rich in the future but not now, at least not in the restaurant at that moment. She spot the potential in me.
Me: "The card is hers." (refering to Ms Lily)
Ms Lily: "Does his name sounds like Ms Lily." (gigiling)
Filipino Waitress: "Usually its the young guy who pays." (talking with an Filipino accent and smiling)
Me: "She is paying for me." (looking proud about it)
Me: "I am a lucky man." :)
Ms Lily laughing......
We then went to NATAS because my manager was there, so we went to visit his booth and she wanted to see some travel brochures. Then I spotted my dream girl..... the Titanium girl..... the cover girl on the Rewards Catalogue..... the girl that I always see on my desk in the morning. She was wearing a red rimmed spec, haiz... very auntie. She ask me to buy some milk from her but I rejected her... Sorry I won't buy them just because you are my dream girl... (strong will power)
Later we went Orchard for shopping and I got myself a pair of Geox shoes. With their shoe technology, they promise that by wearing them, your feet will feel cool because of all those holes under the sole. If you are thinking about water seeping in, its not possible because of osmosis. Sounds good to me so I bought them at a not so low price. So it better work, if not I will burn down the shop.
Oh yah by the way Ms Lily make me help her take 2 bags of Nescafe, some travel brochures and an ugly bag to walk around Orchard. I have no choice because she buys me lunch, treats me in office, promise to buy me a cup and give me sweets. People I would love to write more but Ms Lily will be reading this and then she would start throwing ...... erm..... mooncakes at me?

This time a waitress came back with our bill. I can see the waitress is a smart girl because she puts the bill in front of me expecting me to sign. I will be very rich in the future but not now, at least not in the restaurant at that moment. She spot the potential in me.
Me: "The card is hers." (refering to Ms Lily)
Ms Lily: "Does his name sounds like Ms Lily." (gigiling)
Filipino Waitress: "Usually its the young guy who pays." (talking with an Filipino accent and smiling)
Me: "She is paying for me." (looking proud about it)
Me: "I am a lucky man." :)
Ms Lily laughing......
We then went to NATAS because my manager was there, so we went to visit his booth and she wanted to see some travel brochures. Then I spotted my dream girl..... the Titanium girl..... the cover girl on the Rewards Catalogue..... the girl that I always see on my desk in the morning. She was wearing a red rimmed spec, haiz... very auntie. She ask me to buy some milk from her but I rejected her... Sorry I won't buy them just because you are my dream girl... (strong will power)
Later we went Orchard for shopping and I got myself a pair of Geox shoes. With their shoe technology, they promise that by wearing them, your feet will feel cool because of all those holes under the sole. If you are thinking about water seeping in, its not possible because of osmosis. Sounds good to me so I bought them at a not so low price. So it better work, if not I will burn down the shop.
Oh yah by the way Ms Lily make me help her take 2 bags of Nescafe, some travel brochures and an ugly bag to walk around Orchard. I have no choice because she buys me lunch, treats me in office, promise to buy me a cup and give me sweets. People I would love to write more but Ms Lily will be reading this and then she would start throwing ...... erm..... mooncakes at me?

3 Little Wolves
I once had lunch with 3 male colleagues who are the Ah-Beng types. We were having tea at Lucky Plaza (not very glamourous I know) and then they were conversing in Hokkien. I know nuts about the language so all I could do was listen. They suddenly talk about women's breasts. I don't know how their conversation come down to that but then I wasn't going to shut my ears. Haha....
They were actually commenting on their female colleagues' breasts. I was like -_-" amused cos I didnt know they had such interesting perspective. The whole conversation was in Hokkien, I try my best to interpret la, it goes something like this,
ColourWolf1: " Hey, did you know I saw her outside and her breasts was like...... (fill in yourself and he was doing some motion signifying fullness) You see her in uniform and its like nothing but you see her in outside clothes, it looks really different."
ColourWolf2: "Really ah?! (eyes bulging) Didn't know that.... (conversation continues but cant remember abt wat, probably speculating abt size this time)
Colourwolf2: "Did you all know that Ms D has big boobs?!"
Colourwolf1:"Ya... I was walking past her and she was bending down when I saw it!
Colourwolf3:"Thats why you walk past her a few times right?"
Everyone: "HAHAHAHAHA!"
Colourwolf2:"I saw it before too!
Colourwolf1:"I think it must be at least a D cup!" (shaking his head and showing hand motion again)
Colourwolf2:"Ya I think so too..."(nodding in agreement and agreeing in a way that as if he came to a conclusion that the world must be round)
Colourwolf1:"You know Ms A right, she is pretty but her boobs are small. (shaking his head but this time no hand motion or exclaimation mark)
Colourwolf2:"Ya pretty but too bad too small. (no eyes bulging this time)
The above conversation is fragmented and who say what is recount to the best of my memory. I find the following parties:
Colourwolf1 - Most guilty because he initiated most of the topics and shall be sentenced to keep away from women for some time and think about his life.
Colourwolf2 - Accomplice and second guiltiest (I am not sure there is such a word). He is sentenced to find a girlfriend immediately and get a life!
Colourwolf3 - Least guilty because he did participate but I can't recall what he say. You are heng...
Me - Totally innocent because I can't speak Hokkien.
So women now you know your male colleagues are wolves in sheeps' clothings. So I suggest you 1. actually wear something modest 2. Don't bend down unnecessarily or 3. Don't work with men....

Lousy 2 Weeks
It has been a lousy past 2 weeks for me. Mark by tiredness, stress, low morale, uncertainty, bad luck and lack of support. Sometimes I just want to give up and throw in the towel. Never felt like that before, at least not that I can remember.
Sometimes people ask me, "How come you are not panicking, I am already panicking?"
I replied, "I am actually panicking but I just don't show it."
When I was younger and not too long ago, I am an emotionally direct person. When I am angry, I will show my anger, when I am unhappy, I will show my unhappiness, when I dislike what the person is doing, I will screw him upside down.
For these past few months, seem like I have changed. More nice, more humble, more cool, more patient, less carefree and showing less of my emotions. Guess that the environment really can change someone.
I always remember the advices my mentor gave me and I have always live by it:
1. Got mouth can ask right.
2. Must be resourceful.
3. Must be nice to people.
4. Must always cover yourself.
5. Some people are not worth helping.
So far these advices have been useful. Hope it will be a better week ahead....

The More I Love You, The More I Avoid You
I just read a friend's blog, he wrote this:
"Yue Shi Ai Ni Yue Xiang Duo Ni.. Yue Shi Duo Ni Yue Xiang Ai Ni" -
The more I love you, the more I try to avoid you and the more I avoid you, the more I love you
Its logically stupid to avoid someone that you like, and when you like someone you would want to spend more time with her right? So I look at it and think and wonder...... Am I guilty of this stupidity??
And so I ask Wei Tat, "Wei Tat, why would you avoid a girl?"
And Wei Tat answered: "Because I know I would fall deeply in love with her when I see her more... I cant let myself love her because 1) She is married 2) She is attached 3) We are worlds apart 4) I cant bring her happiness 5) I cant let go of my past and all kinds of drama reasons.
You then dont see her for some time, maybe for months, then you thought you have gotten over her. You assume she is happy, she already has a boyfriend, she has many suitors and whatever stories you can cook up. Satisfied with the stories you cooked up, one day you decide to meet up with her believing both of you are just friends. Both of you met up, you look at her, she look at you, the past suddenly all came back to you, your mind gets mess up, you become confused, you try to reason the quick heartbeat, the nervousness and warm feelings you experience when you see her. You had lunch and before you know it, you have to recook the stories again, reavoid her, return to the same process again.
I so ask, "Wei Tat, Wei Tat, how do I solve this problem??"
Wei Tat, "Dont have lunch with her. I repeat one more time, dont have lunch with her. Ok for those who did not get it, one more time, dont have lunch with her, very important guys, very important... Dont have lunch with her. Ok? One more time and I will only say it one more time, dont have lunch with her."
(I ACTUALLY have a lecturer like this.... He is not tired of repeating but I am tired of typing.)
Ya... very tired.....

Timeline
Yesterday at work, my partner turn to me and told me that I need to give her a timeline of when I am going to launch the website. I look at her and while she was explaining and talking about what are the things we are going to do for the offers, I realised timeline means deadline. I have never known this word "deadline" nor "timeline" cos I have never met any of them before.
In school, I usually pass up my homework late or never do them at all or do them last minute. This time its real, this deadline is different from those that teachers give you. At least if you dont pass up your homework, you just get scolded by your teacher or they forgot about it. In the real world, deadline means you have to deliver by the stipulated time. You tell everyone about what you are going to do and when its going to start operating and you have to deliver because you have promised.
By the way my partner is a nice lady but tempermental, I must deliver if not she will throw the flyers and brochures on her table at me and maybe even the rewards catalogue.
Now I need 3 things : God, resourcefulness and luck.

Photoshoot
Last week I went to my first photoshoot. I saw models and they really look glam. They are really different from the pretty girls you saw on the streets. They are really tall (must be the heels) and its amazing they can smile at will. Pose all kinds of pose and still look glam. Wow.....
I was suppose to be part of the background posing as a photographer. There were also other photographers, of course they were also actors or rather props which they call us, or another term is extras. I didn't know a photoshoot took a lot of time. You just keep posing the same position again and again. And if you did not get a desirable position or a comfortable one, it could be quite tiring. I was lucky, I got to sit down.
The most tiring people must be the models. They have to keep smiling, look good and withstand the glare and heat of the lights and continue posing different posers. Its refreshing and fun for the first 5 minutes cos its something new.
No wonder models earn so much.

Meeting
I was asked to attend a meeting together with my manager this Tuesday afternoon. I saw some people in the conference room and asked them whether they are here for the meeting. I don't really know where they were from. I chat with them and soon found out what they do. They were from another company.
Suddenly one guy came in, I have seen him in office before but do not know exactly what he does, then everyone in the room stands up. I was like still sitting down. Feeling strange, I stand up too. I was thinking he must be some big shot. Then he told me its ok to sit down. But when I sit down, everyone is still standing up, so I stood up again. Then he told me again its ok to sit down, so I sit down again. This time everyone sits down too. And I still have no idea who he is.
As more and more people came in, I realised I only know my manager and my Head of Marketing. Everyone looks older than me and they all look like some big big shots. Its difficult not to be a big shot when you are at the bottom of the hierachy. The meeting was pretty interesting, learn some things although some parts was pretty technical.
Yesterday, I look through the name cards that I exchange with those guys from the other company before the meeting. I am suppose to meet one of them today for some training. And I just realised that they were all managers and one of them is actually the CEO! I actually went to the toilet with this CEO without realising it, he was very friendly and asked me about my job. That day in the conference room, everyone was like manager and above.
Oh yah, one of the managers there is pretty cute. :) Maybe I will see her today. Hee....

Furla
I had a surprise waiting for me on Tuesday morning. As usual, I woke up at 7, go back to sleep again and let the snozzle ring for like 5 times before I reluctantly woke up at 7.45. My snozzle is set 9 minutes apart, so its like I woke up at 7, sleep back, woke up at 7.09 then sleep back again. You get the idea. Its my routine. Can't seem to beat the sleeping monster. Took 15 minutes to prepare and then went out.
While going to the bus stop, my manager sms me to go on his behalf to the Furla launch at Ngee Ann City. I was like huh? Its so last minute but then its good to see how a launch looks like. I was imagining there would be models holding Furla bags walking on the catwalk in a hall kind of thing. I rush to my workplace at Raffles Place then took a taxi down to Ngee Ann City.
When I reached there, I saw a buffett set up outside the Furla store with many people mingling around. I looked around, no models! Just lots of people whom I don't know. My first thought was what am I suppose to do?! Well.... I did saw 2 colleagues from merchant sales, 1 is the Head the other our OCBC model. I just looked and smile at them cos I dont really know them. So I just look around the store, admiring the leather handbags, watches, accessories which ONLY women can use them.
I thought to myself maybe I will wonder around for another 15 minutes before leaving. But luckily my manager did come afterall together with another colleague, I also saw my Head there. He told me usually this kind of launch is for people to mingle around. He say I should absolutely need to try the food here, things like cavier which you dont get to eat often and some meat wrap in cucumber. After trying those food, I still prefer my bee hoon with egg and laucheon meat with tomato sauce.
Kit Chan was there too, Xiangyun and Kok Cheng Mun. Kok Cheng Mun look really different, she now spots a short hair cut and look like a upper social class person. Oh yah when I went there, I was like folding up my sleeves to my elbow and wearing my OCBC lanyard tuck in my front pocket. I actually wanted to wear a tie but my colleague in office told me not to. Everyone there was quite classy, wearing long sleeves or coat.
I guess next time I will just wear more formal just in case. Overdress is better than underdress.

An Article About Nothing
One friend after another are flying away. This Tuesday 1st August, Wise Tiger is flying back to US for his studies. He told me he will be back next year December. I still want to believe he is bullshitting, I want to believe that he will be back this December not next year. Running away from your problems is not a solution.
Another friend Little Tiger is flying off to South Africa on 12th August for 1 to 2 months depending on circumstances and maybe leaving for Australia in October again because of work. I think I wont see him for 3 months. The worse thing is he just got a girlfriend and he has to fly off for work. Poor girlfriend, they just got together and have to part for 3 months.
Mr Alien is flying off this 27th August to South Korea and will be back in November. He is going for a student exchange. Pretty cool cos he does not have to do any assignments or take any exams. He is like going there for holidays, very lucky but poor girlfriend too. She is gonna miss him a lot.
Everyone is going to start school soon. So no more meeting them on weekdays. Haha... Anyway I wont be free on weekdays also. My school is from Monday to Wednesday. Then with so much work, Thursday and Friday will be doing OTs and weekends is for doing projects.
So it will be work, school, work, school, work, school, WORK and SCHOOL. I think August and September will sucks. I just bought a camera for my projects. And I like have to borrow money from Little Tiger first to buy it. Today, Big Tiger and Wierd Tiger help me bargain for a better deal. Big Tiger got me a free tripod stand and a bigger memory SD card and Wise Tiger help me got a free screen protector and Little Tiger finance the purchase. Cool.....
Besides borrowing money from Little Tiger to pay for my camera, I borrow from Mr Wall to pay for my school fees for 2 consecutive months. You see, in life I am not afraid to have no money because I have friends, my friends dont have to be rich, they just have to be generous. Of course I have good credibility thats why they lent me money. :) They are investing in a potentially successful person. Do you all know that people born on the 23rd of October 1982 are destined for greatness....
I met my friends on Saturday and we were talking about asking girls out. So this girl ask me in jest why don't I ask her out. Ok so I ask her in jest does she want to go out with me, and she replied see how lor. Ya see what, see the weather, your mood or see when the cows can fly. Anyway, the thing about her is that she is funnily chor lor (rough). Like putting one leg up to scratch her leg, talking about toilet humour and who knows the next thing she does is start digging her nose or scratching her armpit. Can you PLEASE have some IMAGE....
Actually I didn't want to name this article "An Article About Nothing" but rather "People Born On The 23rd Of October 1982 Are Destined For Greatness." I decided against it because I find the title a bit too long.

A Rose Fully Bloom
Recently I have changed my job from credit cards sales to credit cards marketing. So now I do not have to run around anymore doing roadshows and burning my weekends. Although I got a huge pay cut but then I have always wanted to try marketing, so for me it is a good opportunity.
In the past when I was doing sales, there were times when we had to go to office to do our admin and I would sometimes look over to the other side (the sales teams were sitting next to the marketing dept). Hmmm.... There were indeed a lot of pretty office ladies there. You can see that they were women not girls. They had this mature beauty. They were like 26 years old and above.
Now I am sitting among them, though some had left already, there will of course be new people replacing them. My neighbour is one of the newbie, as we were sitting in cubicles, she and me are just separated by a cushion wall. The first time I saw her, she had this mature beauty yet display girlish charms. I always cannot resist looking at her, I look at her cos I want to know what is so special about her but I cannot find any answer. Sometimes when I look at her, I am afraid that she will caught me looking at her. So sneaky right.....
There is another one whom I call the Titanium girl. I called her that because she is the poster girl for our Titanium Rewards booklet. She has big round attractive eyes, full lips, girlish laughter and a voice like music. Perfect. I always remember the way she smile, it was bright and her eyes would twinkle. Talk to her a few times but now she has left, too bad.... Will I see you again?
After working in office for a few weeks, I spotted another beauty. I don't know where she appear from but I always see her around, should be from another dept. She always had a smile on her face. She have this girlish appearance but had this mature dress sense. The first time I talk to her was at the mail collecting point, there were female magazines for staffs but they had left, so she asked me whether she could have them. I said ok and she was so happy when I gave it to her, she was giggling like a girl. -_-" Anyway whenever she walk past my desk I would definitely look at her. Beautiful...
We also have this Ikea girl in our office cos she is the model in for our Ikea application, she has chiselled model looks, not my type but still can look right. She once had an anynomous sender of lily white roses. She distributed it around office. Stupid guy, if you want to give flowers, at least put down your name right. Waste money, waste effort.
Of course there is my lovely mentor, she is always cheerful and funky. She doesn't act and look like her age which is pretty cool. She got tattoos, change her hair colour now and then and has 2 kids, amazing woman. She is the one who brought me into marketing. I really appreciate her help. I kind of miss her when she left, although I didn't say it or show it. Hope I will see her soon in the near future, still haven't treat her lunch yet.
Now I am even having lunch often with this colleague who is 2 years older than me. She don't look 26 and has this cute dress sense, she likes to wear either pink or white. Sometimes she put on a hair band or clip her hair. She totally look like a young girl and she is often mistaken to be 19 years old. Sometimes she would look at me and laugh for no reason and when I ask her what is it about, she would just shake her head smiling just like a little girl. Cute....
Of course my office has young and pretty girls but somehow they had no appeal to me. When one of these women smiles at me, their smile brightens my day and it really makes my day. I prefer a fully bloom rose than a rose bud. Because a fully bloom rose is seen in all its glory and is at its most beautiful.
Haiz.... Why wasn't I born earlier......
In the past when I was doing sales, there were times when we had to go to office to do our admin and I would sometimes look over to the other side (the sales teams were sitting next to the marketing dept). Hmmm.... There were indeed a lot of pretty office ladies there. You can see that they were women not girls. They had this mature beauty. They were like 26 years old and above.
Now I am sitting among them, though some had left already, there will of course be new people replacing them. My neighbour is one of the newbie, as we were sitting in cubicles, she and me are just separated by a cushion wall. The first time I saw her, she had this mature beauty yet display girlish charms. I always cannot resist looking at her, I look at her cos I want to know what is so special about her but I cannot find any answer. Sometimes when I look at her, I am afraid that she will caught me looking at her. So sneaky right.....
There is another one whom I call the Titanium girl. I called her that because she is the poster girl for our Titanium Rewards booklet. She has big round attractive eyes, full lips, girlish laughter and a voice like music. Perfect. I always remember the way she smile, it was bright and her eyes would twinkle. Talk to her a few times but now she has left, too bad.... Will I see you again?
After working in office for a few weeks, I spotted another beauty. I don't know where she appear from but I always see her around, should be from another dept. She always had a smile on her face. She have this girlish appearance but had this mature dress sense. The first time I talk to her was at the mail collecting point, there were female magazines for staffs but they had left, so she asked me whether she could have them. I said ok and she was so happy when I gave it to her, she was giggling like a girl. -_-" Anyway whenever she walk past my desk I would definitely look at her. Beautiful...
We also have this Ikea girl in our office cos she is the model in for our Ikea application, she has chiselled model looks, not my type but still can look right. She once had an anynomous sender of lily white roses. She distributed it around office. Stupid guy, if you want to give flowers, at least put down your name right. Waste money, waste effort.
Of course there is my lovely mentor, she is always cheerful and funky. She doesn't act and look like her age which is pretty cool. She got tattoos, change her hair colour now and then and has 2 kids, amazing woman. She is the one who brought me into marketing. I really appreciate her help. I kind of miss her when she left, although I didn't say it or show it. Hope I will see her soon in the near future, still haven't treat her lunch yet.
Now I am even having lunch often with this colleague who is 2 years older than me. She don't look 26 and has this cute dress sense, she likes to wear either pink or white. Sometimes she put on a hair band or clip her hair. She totally look like a young girl and she is often mistaken to be 19 years old. Sometimes she would look at me and laugh for no reason and when I ask her what is it about, she would just shake her head smiling just like a little girl. Cute....
Of course my office has young and pretty girls but somehow they had no appeal to me. When one of these women smiles at me, their smile brightens my day and it really makes my day. I prefer a fully bloom rose than a rose bud. Because a fully bloom rose is seen in all its glory and is at its most beautiful.

Season Of Love
Last Saturday, met up with my ex-school mates at Mind's Cafe at Boat Quay. Saw this really tall and charming girl who work there taught us how to play board games. My friends told me I should get her number since she kept talking to me. Shit.... How come I didn't notice that?? Never mind... Let it be part of a beautiful memory. Just like those I have met in the past..... Bwahahahahaha......
After that we went to eat my favourite bak chor mee at Circular Road. Nothing fantastic about it but I just like eating it. For me, I don't need a reason to do something or like something. Very illogical right, sounds like a girl right. Haha.... We were actually talking about Mr Wise Tiger's love problem that night after eating.
You see he actually fell in love with a girl. Had confessed his feelings before. Remained as good friends with her. And is now fighting his own feelings whether to confessed again or not. Although before that the girl had a boyfriend, she is now single again and has show some positive signs towards my friend. He is afraid that if he confessed again, it would damage their friendship and the trust she had in him. He can't stop himself from analysing all the little gestures and things she done. To try to interpret whether those actions meant anything at all. Haven't we all made that mistake before, always trying to analyse whether someone like you or not. I gave up doing that long ago cos its too bothersome. I prefer to have a peace of mind and to be happy.
Mr Wierd Tiger told him he should just go for it and tell her his feelings for her. And stop wondering whether she like him or not. The only way to know the answer is to ask her and not try to interpret her actions. And yes! Mr Wise Tiger has decided to pluck up his courage and tell her he likes her when he sees her again. All the best dude!
Mr Wierd Tiger himself had a brush with a 16 year old girl, he didn't really said much but from what he said, it looks like its over and the reason for it was that she was too young for him. I pretty much admire his balls for daring to tell a girl he likes her directly.
Mr Little Tiger recently got to know a girl on friendster. They had went out a few times and it seems like its progressing smoothly. They are not together yet but can see he is dipped in the sea of love. Congrats to him.....
As for me..... Its just me and my stupid pride........

Marriage is Nothing
I met a friend who told me that she wants to divorce her husband. She did not show a hint of sadness and said it like a matter of fact. Her reason being that she is bored with her marriage. The best thing is that she already had a daughter from her present marriage. Seriously her attitude makes me afraid of getting married. What if I am like her and I got bored about marriage, what will I do??
She told me she had another friend who registered with her boyfriend at the ROM and decide to divorce after a few months. According to the law, they are considered married so they need to sign separation papers and be separated for 3 years before they are allowed to marry again. Her friend who wasted 3 years is 30 plus now. Wasted her youth and her partner's time.
Divorce aside, she had another friend who is 30 plus and she wants to have children. The most incredible thing is that she DOESN'T want to get marry. My friend told her that anyone would be willing to do that. Its like getting a free ride and not paying for it. Her friend agrees but its like kind of weird to ask people for it. My friend actually offer me this great opportunity to spread my superior genes. But I rejected it because one, I am not cheap, two, I don't want a few years from now when I walk on the street, I would see a little kid who resembles Little Pineapple Tat and my girlfriend would wonder why, or my son suddenly realised he had another brother. You know there are a lot of implications although the offer is tempting. Oh yah my friend claim that her friend is pretty.
On second thoughts, I think I will consider the offer......
