Porn

I bet the title caught your attention. I found out that titles are actually important, especially if you have a huge archive. People will not read every single entry. Rather, they will click on the ones that have attractive titles. All the while i did not put in much effort to think of titles. I can either edit them, or leave them as they are; which i will obviously do the latter.

Recently, there is this big hoo-ha about sarong party girl (SPG). She's been hogging the headlines of newpaper and lianhe wanbao. So what's the big deal about SPG? Nothing much, just that she posted a nude photo of herself on her blog. Honestly, i don't see what is the big deal. Most guys have probably surfed porn and females have their own bodies to look at right? The content of her blog is not as explicit as they conveyed it to be. It wouldn't even fall into the category of soft porn. For goodness sake, just leave the girl alone. Yes, she wants attention but i'm sure this is not the kind of attention that she wants.

Anyway, anyone heard of the show "unfaithful"? Have you watched it? It was rated NC16. But it was rather explicit. Yes, you've guessed it. The story is about an affair. This married woman met this guy and the guy became her lover (i.e. they were involved sexually) There were scenes of them copulating and the breasts of the woman was uncensored. You've heard me right, you could actually see the breasts. So much for the strict censorship. I wonder what happened to this show where you get to see the woman's assets and many f***ing scenes in a show rated NC16. Which brings me back to the point..

What is the big deal about breasts? or SPG's breasts to be specific. chill.

How to stay young

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches)

3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's!

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER.

6. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is yourself. LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

I live by this list. I'm not bothered about my weight or age, I have cheerful friends, friends who make me laugh till i tear, i cry and i get over it, my room is my refuge, i take trips to the mall and i say "i love you" every single day.

Daddy dearest

First of all, I want to wish you Happy Fathers' Day!

No fancy dinner at posh restaurants, no pretty cake like the one mum received and definitely no flowers for you. Just a uniquely designed Lamy pen and potatochip chocolates from Royce to show my care. Most importantly, it's the thoughts put into it and the love expressed through these gifts.

Finally, i want to make use of this occasion to tell you: I love you daddy.

Lots of love,
your daughter

Happiness

is when:

  • the one you love loves you as well
  • you get to see him
  • you get to hug him
  • he holds your hand
  • he holds your waist while walking
  • he strokes your hair
  • he touches your face
  • he kisses your face/hand/forehead
  • you know he cares
  • he sends you home even though he's tired
  • you're in love

will add on to the list when i think of more. right now, it's just these. when you're happy and too tired, you can't think.

attitude towards love

To find your love attitude number, add your birth month and your birth date together. Keep reducing it until it's a single digit. Example: August 20 = 8 + 20 = 28 = 2 + 8 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1. Thus, the love attitude number is = 1.

If your number = 1
You're charming imaginative and independent. Usually your style is ahead of others, you know what's in and what's way out. Sometimes you're a little too aggressive when it comes to pursuing a love interest. You've a way of drawing attention wherever you go and this dramatic flare usually attracts the strongest guys. Your competitive nature either draws or repels guys/gals but those who can't handle your power aren't your type anyway. At times you can be possessive, manipulating and demanding with your friends and in love relationships. You like guys/gals with lots of intelligence and knock them dead good looks don't hurt either.

If your number = 2
Your love nature is sentimental, romantic and kind. Your easygoing, mild manner allows almost everyone to feel very comfortable with you - especially shy guys/gals. Your modesty and tact enable you to get along easily with both sexes. You're a natural peacemaker and can be very persuasive with words, which helps you to gain the respect of your classmates. You can also be too sensitive at times, and your greatest drawback is a lack of confidence to stand up for yourself in conflict. Your favorite type of guy/gal is a gentle, affectionate one who is also strong and playful. A great sense of humor is also a must. A guy/gal who loves to listen to music and dance should rank high on your list of favorites, too.

If your number = 3
You're imaginative, fun-loving, trill-seeking and expressive. You're so charming that you attract many friends and you're almost never lacking guys/gals. In your earlier years, you maybe totally shy and self-conscious, but you'll lose those qualities in the high-school years. You can be sort of vain or even a bit of a show-off when you get caught up in exciting events in your life, but you usually redeem yourself in some playful way before you lose a friend. Jealousy shows its ugly head sometimes, but generally you aren't affected by it unless your guy tries to provoke it. In the guy department, you refer the athletic or artistic types. You're in absolute heaven when you find both of those qualities in the same guy. When you're looking for love, a guy who can make you laugh scores points, big time!

If your number = 4
You tend to be loyal, dedicated and good-hearted. You're one of the most diligent students when you really try, and you tend to make your schoolwork a priority. You also express those same qualities in your love relationship. No one is more faithful and trusting than you. In fact, those tendencies can be a little negative in your romantic life. It give you the respect and love you deserve. You can be stubborn and a bit of a troublemaker if the mood strikes you but you can usually dig yourself out of that hole just in time to stay out of major trouble. You usually fall for extremes when choosing a love mate - he/she is good-looking, too, but that's not a major consideration for you.

If your number = 5
Your love attitude is adventurous, charismatic and spontaneous. You're creative and adaptable, and you can come up with the most exciting and sometimes daring things to do. Your quick intelligence and way with words help get you out of the problems that come with being flirtatious and laying hard to get. You need to pay close attention to your personal values because you love to try new and different things and easily go along with the crowd and the consequences can put extra strain on your relationship with a boy/girl. You like guys who have great bodies and good looks, along with exceptional brain and high grades. It helps if they're highly athletic or involved in as many activities as you,otherwise you might get bored! Variety is the key to your love attitude number.

If your number = 6
You're warm, loving, devoted and affectionate. Your outgoing, thoughtful nature attracts many boyfriends/girlfriends to you, and usually some of the nicest guys too. Because of your need to care, you can end up in a relationship that requires too much care-taking to make it balanced. Since home and family play important roles in your life, you're unlikely to be attracted to guys/gals who your parents wouldn't like. Sometimes you've a slight jealous streak but it doesn't last long. Some people with this love attitude number are prone to making ha! rsh judgments of others, especially when others don't share your set of values. You're especially attracted to the good looking, boy-next-door type who is smart as well as a gentleman.

If your number = 7
Your love nature is thoughtful, poetic, mystical and mysterious. A few people with love attitude number seven are class clowns, and they usually attract guys/gals who like to be given a hard time. But most of you are the quiet, reserved types who dislike calling attention to yourself. Your type generally attracts guys who feel the same way you do. Your defined, independent and secretive nature is very alluring to certain guys/gays. At times, you can also be somewhat fault-finding and a little demanding in your love relationship and with friends. You're mostly attracted to guys/gals who aren't like all the rest; a loner easily attracts you. And, if he/she reads alot and enjoy learning, he/she is especially perfect for you.

If your number = 8
Your love attitude is confident, powerful and exciting. This number usually makes for a very conscientious student, someone who puts schoolwork ahead of a social life. However, you also enjoy being a leader among your classmates and will seek offices or other positions that enable you to use your leadership skills. Because of this, you can be somewhat intimidating to certain guys/gals. You can also be a little too intense, bossy and jealous for your own good. Your love match is definitely someone who is smart, handsome/pretty and popular. You like quality over quantity and will usually wait until the guy/gal with the best attributes comes along.

If your number = 9
You've a sophisticated attitude that's also generous and considerate. Your responsible, charitable nature may find you attracting guys/gals who want someone to confide in or who makes them feel secure. At a very young age, you developed the type of personality that makes others feel safe and protected. You'll carry these qualities into your adult years and, down the road, you'll be a good mom/dad because of them. On the negative side, you can be argumentative and overly emotional, and you usually possess a temper that can make everyone run for cover. You like the kind of guy/gal who is responsible and impeccably dressed and has gorgeous eyes and a great body. Charm, with and brilliance could make him the perfect guy/gal for you.

recent happenings

Haven't been blogging for a while. Anyway, here's to keep you guys updated with some interesting happenings.

Tuesday 14th June 2005

i went to McDonalds to get some food. A young man took my orders. After taking my orders, he started talking to me.

"Where are you from?" he asked. "I don't look foreign to him do i?" i thought. I probably looked puzzled as he almost immediately added, "i mean, which school are you from?"

"A private uni" i answered.

"It's nice to see someone from a private uni." he replied. I wondered what was so nice about it actually. But just smiled anyway.

"So how old are you?" he asked.

"How old do i look?" i asked him back.

"16?" he guessed.

I shook my head.

"18? Don't tell me you're twe.."

"I'm 19." cutting him off.

"What about you?" I asked him back.

"I'm 16. Still in sec school." he answered.

I then went to sit while waiting for my food to be ready. After a couple of minutes, he walked over with my order packed in a plastic bag.

"Here. There's chilli sauce, sweet chilli sauce, curry and tartar sauce, everything inside." he informed.

"Thanks." i replied and smiled and began to walk off.

"Bye!" he said, "You're cute."

Stunned i was as i headed for home.

Monday 13th June 2005

Seduction style

I was thinking of what to put in for this entry when i chance across this quiz on ivillage "Your seduction style: Which desperate housewife are you?" Nope, i'm neither desperate nor a housewife. Well, i guess i was just quite bored. Anyway, here's the results. (If you're interested that is)

You scored 30%
Your Seduction Style Is: Susan(played by Teri Hatcher)
Her character: She's the good girl on the block, a pretty divorcée and single mum.
Her seduction style: The sort of man who might scurry away from the predatory style of, ahem, some of Susan's neighbors, ends up by the side of sweet Susan, the antithesis of the sexy siren. All wide-eyed and fresh-faced, hers is a lethally lusty combination of girlish looks and passion under wraps. Her childlike optimism is refreshing, but when she settles in to hook up with the neighborhood hottie, Mike the plumber, it's clear there's a sexier side lurking just below her innocent exterior.
Get his attention, Susan style: If you're a darling Susan type, play it coy. Tilt your head to the side (to show interest), tuck your chin under (to be sexily submissive), push your hair behind your ears (for vulnerability), then slightly narrow your eyes, making them smolder. Think girl next door meets bad girl. This what-you-see-isn't-necessarily-what-you-get technique is a form of psychological stripping. In other words, once you've projected a certain image of yourself to the person you fancy, such as that of an innocent pushover, for example, you then reveal a totally unexpected side of yourself -- by, say, cheekily pinching his bottom on the way back from the bathroom. A seeming Ms. Innocence who turns out to be feisty and fun will get a ton of attention. Unpredictability is incredibly sexy, especially when you're combining two extremes.
Make the first move: …but not too fast! Susan made Mike wait because she wanted the perfect sex session with no interruptions -- but by doing so, she inadvertently upped the odds that they'd both have much better sex when it finally happened. The longer you put off intercourse, the more you explore each other's bodies thoroughly, learning what you both like and don't like. Think of it as "simmering": keeping things hot and heavy without actually taking anything to the point of orgasm. When you do follow through, all the built-up anticipation will make for a spectacular first time.
Keep him panting: The next time you're out together, wait until no one's looking your way, then grab his hand and sweetly kiss his palm. Keep holding it there; then, with your tongue flat, swirl it in slow, wet, sexy circles while holding eye contact.
Possible pitfalls of being a Susan: Obvious naivety can make you look both needy and ditzy. If you're a Susan, you're in love with being in love -- dangerous stuff! It often means your choices in men aren't thought through properly. Make sure to look for what he's really all about, as opposed to seeing only what you want to see.

You scored 30%
Your Seduction Style Is: Bree(played by Marcia Cross)
Her character: Bree embodies the term "control freak" -- but who can blame her for wanting to keep a tight rein? Her children are mutinous and her husband's partial to popping off for S&M sessions with another woman.
Her seduction style: From her artfully arranged and "done" hairdo to her beautifully manicured toes, look up "well groomed" in the dictionary, and it would be no surprise to find Bree's picture. She personifies true uptight perfection. Quirky, clever and with a body most 18-year-olds would kill for, she dresses conservatively, but those figure-skimming pencil skirts are as sexy as they are elegant. She's clearly hot, but it's not an obvious sexiness, which makes her massively appealing to a man searching for the classic "Madonna/whore" (who's pure in the kitchen and dirty in the bedroom).
Get his attention, Bree style: Bree's shoulders are always squared and rolled down so they sit low on her back (ideal for showing off her small yet perky breasts), and she positions her body so it's slightly angled, with one foot forward to make her look slimmer. Bree's pièce de résistance, though, is the way she maintains intense eye contact. During most conversations, people look at each other 30 to 60 percent of the time. But studies have shown that staring into someone's eyes for around 75 percent of a conversation can trick the brain of the person you fancy -- to the point that he thinks he's in love with you. So, when it comes to seduction, Bree's on to something with her intense stare.
Make the first move: Pop open some bubbly and have a festive, elegant make-out session. Give him a champagne kiss. Take a good gulp of bubbly, but instead of swallowing, hold it there. Kiss him, then let a tiny amount of champagne trickle into his mouth. Wait until he catches on to what's happening, then let a little more trickle out. Get him to return the favor, and if some drips down the side of his mouth, lick it up. Yes, Bree types really can be subtly seductive!
Keep him panting: You're good at following instruction and sticking to a plan, so put that skill to good use and investigate some erotic massage techniques to use on your man.
Possible pitfalls of being a Bree: Being organized is one thing, but while scheduling sex is sometimes necessary, relying entirely on that schedule is another thing. It's essential to allow for a certain amount of spontaneity.

You scored 20%
Your Seduction Style Is: Lynette(played by Felicity Huffman)
Her character: A former career woman, she's now a stay-at-home mom with four kids under the age of six. With a wimpy husband who doesn't seem to help out much, she's (not surprisingly) the strong, scruffy one who has neither the time nor the inclination to get dolled up.
Her seduction style: Lynette has a determined stride instead of a wiggle, and refuses point-blank to join the rest of Wisteria Lane in their look-at-me fashions. In the traditional sense, her character is undisputedly the least sexy of all five women. But ironically, this form of anti-flirting has its own allure. Her unflinching eye contact makes her appear challenging. The way she tosses her head suggests pride and spirit. And her world-weary observations might be cynical, but they're certainly funny. She'd appeal to a man who wants to tussle intellectually (as well as under the covers).
Get his attention, Lynette style: Those who dress in slithery, slinky, cling-to-every-curve numbers are magnifying their flirtation. But the joy of dressing down -- which is Lynette's M.O. -- is that you can get away with murder when it comes to flirting. Casual clothes dilute the probability that you'll be seen as slutty. So go for it! Stand close and do a "Di." Princess Diana's trademark was to tip her chin down and look up through lowered lashes. It not only makes your eyes look enormous -- a universally attractive characteristic -- it makes you seem slightly adoring, perhaps even a little shy (even if you're not). On a less intelligent woman, a Di looks positively silly. (Imagine the word "bimbo" appearing in a bubble overhead.) Put it to work when you're clearly intelligent, however, and it can make you appear more approachable.
Make the first move: Lynette might appear conservative, but she's a definite risk taker. If you're like her, a direct approach suits you. When you feel his hands start to make their way toward a particular body part (your breasts, your butt), take charge (and take his breath away) by lifting his hands and placing them directly where they were headed. If you're feeling really brave, you'll stop kissing, fix him with a wickedly lusty look, then remove your top to reveal the world's sexiest bra.
Keep him panting: They might be the apple of your eye, but children are also remarkably effective sex saboteurs. You and your man are lovers as well as parents, so do whatever it takes to stay sexually connected. Ideally, you'd have one dirty weekend away every three months. If you can't manage it, make a deal with friends who also have kids. Every weekend, someone sits all the little darlings, while the other couples get a few hours to enjoy each other. If you’re a Lynette with no kids in the picture, you're still likely to put other priorities in front of your sex life. Don't! Hang on to that independent spirit (you successful, smart social butterfly, you) -- but don’t hesitate to act on those frequent lusty impulses.
Possible pitfalls of being a Lynette: Quite apart from salvaging a sex life from under a pile of diapers (or to-do's), a supersharp mind can frighten lesser mortals. Happily, most Lynettes would rather die alone and be eaten by wolves than date someone who isn't up to the intellectual challenge. Just be aware that an attitude like that can sometimes be seen as insensitive.

You scored 10%
Your Seduction Style Is: Gabrielle(played by Eva Longoria)
Her character: An ex-model with everything she's ever wanted, including a rich husband, a big house -- and a torrid affair with her barely legal gardener.
Her seduction style: Gabrielle's love of living a lavish lifestyle means owning lots of glorious clothes -- and every single outfit is chosen to ensure her gorgeous bod and face are shown off in the best possible way. But even without the clothes, she'd still be the center of attention. This bold exhibitionist is sensationally selfish (she admits it) and has a soaring sex drive. Gabrielle is every man's dream (except maybe her husband's -- he spends most of his time disturbed by justifiable suspicions of her infidelity).
Get his attention, Gabrielle style: The trick to copying Gabrielle's come-hither flirting style is poise and a pose. Everything about your look should reek wealth. The way you stand, sit and walk should shout "well bred." Then, and only then, can you get away with those super-suggestive Gabrielle-isms, such as throwing your head back and letting your fingers trail toward your cleavage as you whisper one of her classic double entendres. The unspoken message: "I'm sizing you up. Will you be lucky enough?"
Make the first move: Gabrielle takes what she wants rather than waiting for it to be offered, and she has no doubt that whoever she chooses will give her just what she asks for. So go ahead, ask.
Keep him panting: If you really want to copy Gabby, do something crazy like having semipublic sex. Yes, you might get caught, but if you're a Gabrielle, that would only make it more erotic.
Possible pitfalls of being a Gabrielle: Beautiful women, especially confident beautiful women, are scarier to men than a flickering TV during the Super Bowl. Gabrielle types make the first move because they have to -- most men are terrified of them.

You scored 10%
Your Seduction Style Is: Edie(played by Nicollette Sheridan)
Her character: A bitchy femme fatale, Edie's a steely real estate saleswoman who takes no prisoners. Is she really a harlot or just misunderstood? Who cares? She certainly doesn't! Edie makes no apologies.
Her seduction style: With the body of a woman half her age (and a constant desire to show it off), it's not just the ever-present lure of sex with no strings attached that has men panting. It's Edie's unusual mix of raw, blatant sexuality and supreme confidence. Appealing to men who think "good time" rather than "long term," hers is a palpable sexuality packaged in the immensely popular blonde-haired, big-breasted form.
Get his attention, Edie style: Despite the "modern" approach to sex (any is better than none), Edie opts for old-fashioned flirting moves -- and for good reason; they still work! Throw your shoulders back to show off your breasts, saucily jut one hip out, raise an eyebrow, flare your nostrils and assume a smug, self-satisfied expression. The trick is to ooze confidence, and the effect is electrifyingly potent. Try putting one or both hands on your hips to take up lots of space, command presence and draw attention to your spectacular figure.
Make the first move: Satisfy your urge to show off by semi-stripping. Invite him back to your place, but instead of slipping into something more comfortable, work with what you're wearing. Start by unbuttoning your jacket and shrugging your shoulders sexily so it slides down in one motion. Undo the top few buttons of your shirt and shake your hair out. Then lean over, sticking your bottom out as far as possible, and undo the straps of your shoes, removing them so you're barefoot. "That's better," you say, before walking into the kitchen to get the drinks. Somehow, we think he'll agree.
Keep him panting: Open your toy drawer (all Edie types have at least one vibrator) and use one of your goodies on him! Explore what feels best to him -- you both may be surprised!
Possible pitfalls of being an Edie: If you're going to wear tops slit to the waist and skirts skimming your underwear, men will jump to conclusions (namely, you're up for it -- and there's really no need to buy you dinner first). If you're unashamedly all for a fling, Edie's style suits you perfectly. But if you're looking for a relationship with substance and longevity, here are three words of advice: Tone it down!


You know what? Actually i think this is not quite relevant. You finished reading it? Good for you. *laughs*

Corporate lessons

I've got a job! But it doesn't quite fit the dream job that i describe earlier on though. Anyway, i came across these corporate lessons somewhere and thought i'd share it with you guys.

Corporate Lesson #1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she could say a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel that you have on." After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?" "It was Bob, the next door neighbor," she replies. "Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit-and-risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
--------------------

Corporate Lesson #2
A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road. He stopped and offered her a lift which she accepted. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest was flustered and apologized profusely.He forced himself to remove his hand. Changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologized, "Sorry, Sister, but the flesh is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. Upon his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a greatopportunity.
---------------------

Corporate Lesson #3
A sales representative, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one." "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endlesssupply of pina coladas, and the love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.The manager says, "I want those two back in the office right after lunch."

Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.
--------------------

Corporate Lesson #4
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow answered:"Sure, why not?" So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested. All of a sudden a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very highup.
---------------------

Corporate Lesson #5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients. "The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was, proudly perched at the top of the tree.Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
---------------------

Corporate Lesson #6
In Africa, every morning a gazelle awakens knowing that it must outrunthe fastest lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning, a lion wakes up knowing it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

Moral of the story:
It makes no difference whether you are a gazelle or a lion. When the sun comes up, you best be hauling ass.
