Dating Personality

Took this quiz that is on Facebook and here are the results.



I actually took it twice, as I felt that some of the questions warranted a different answer from me at different times. And guess what? Here's what it says:



Well, I actually find both of them true... Muahaha...

"When I go out and race,
I'm not trying to beat opponents,
I'm trying to beat what I have done
... to beat myself, basically.
People find that hard to believe
because we've had such a bias
to always strive to win things.

If you win something
and you haven't put everything into it,
you haven't actually achieved anything at all.
When you've had to work hard for something
and you've got the best you can out of yourself on that given day,
that's where you get satisfaction from."

What Happened to All the Nice Guys?

Read this on my bro's emo-blog. I like it. Doesn't it happen to the girls too? Hmmm...

"What Happened to All the Nice Guys?"
Date: 2007-11-19, 3:52AM PST

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 ****ing 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 <-- Chivalry is Dead . 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.

That is.. if you were five years younger.

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

Sincerely,A Recovering Nice Guy

What Have You Learnt?

I’ve learnt that . . .

• Just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day!’ makes my day.
• Being kind is more important than being right.
• No matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
• Sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
• It’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
• I’ve learned… That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
• To ignore the facts does not change the facts.
• When you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
• Love, not time, heals all wounds.
• The easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
• Everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.
• The less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
• Life is tough, but I’m tougher.
• Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
• When you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
• I wish I could have told the people that I love her one more time before they passed away.
• I should keep my words both soft and tender, because tomorrow I may have to eat them.
• A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

Pleasurable Reading

I had chanced upon this website after reading the book The Mile Hi! Club.

Well, let's just say that it (the website) made for some pleasurable reading, not the book.

Personally, I do not feel that the book warrants the price of $20+ sold at Kinokuniya.

Those who are under 18, please do not click on the link.

PS: I want to join the Mile High Club!

À la folie... pas du tout

What happens when you love a person?

Or rather, when you love a person too much?



Caught this French movie À la folie... pas du tout (He Love Me, He Loves Me Not), it taught me the dangers of:

• Jumping into conclusion before seeing the other side of the story
• Loving one (too much) wholeheartedly

Go check the movie out. It's worth it.

No Wonder It Fell in Ranking

Am so irritated by Singapore Changi Airport..

They should update on their website which are e affected shops that are closed for the renovation!

I had arranged for my boss to be terminal 2's starbucks for a meeting.. As I had checked Changi Airport's interactive map and there was nothing specified that it was undergoing renovation, I told my boss n the client that location.

Can you imagine my surprise when my boss texted me and told me that Starbucks is closed for reno?

No wonder the fall to third place for the Wonderful Airport in the World...

Gestures

Love does not simply mean sating that I Love You, or buying expensive things for the ones you love.

Just yesterday and today, I felt loved.

As Sugar's out of office today running fieldwork, and her Ben went for a earlier lunch (cos no gf, no bf, kidding, just that his team was in a team meeting in the morning, hence no bf for him), I went for a late lunch as usual.

Popped by the shop that I frequent and complained to my lady that I felt tired. And she bought me coffee! It tasted nice, and I appreciated her gesture!



And of course, thanks Sugar for buying the bubble tea yesterday, I had enough pearls to make a necklace even after I finished the milk tea…

Full, I felt... And satisfied, and loved...
