Why men and women have difficulty understanding each other

Dear all,
Thanks so much for your concern!
I've taken some extra measures like trying not to wear my contacts for too long and changing the brand of my contacts solution.
Hopefully, my eyes will be back to normal in no time :)

Anyway, I came across a funny article. Its about why men and women have difficulty understanding each other. Read this and have a few laughs:

Women's English

"Yes" = No
"No" = Yes
"Maybe" = No
"I'm sorry." =You'll be sorry.
"We need" = I want
"It's your decision" = The correct decision should be obvious by now
"Do what you want" = You'll pay for this later.
"We need to talk" = I need to complain.
"Sure ... go ahead" = I don't want you to.
"I'm not upset" = Of course I'm upset, you moron!
"Be romantic, turn out the lights" = I have flabby thighs.
"This kitchen is so inconvenient" = I want a new house.
"I want new curtains" = and carpeting, and furniture, and wallpaper...
"I heard a noise" = I noticed you were almost asleep.
"Do you love me?" = I'm going to ask for something expensive.
"How much do you love me" = I did something today you're really not going to like.
"Is my butt fat" = Tell me I'm beautiful.
"Are you listening to me?" = [Too late, you're dead.]
"You have to learn to communicate." = Just agree with me.

And just so the women can have their revenge!



Men's English
"I'm hungry." = I'm hungry.
"I'm sleepy." = I'm sleepy.
"I'm tired." = I'm tired.
"Do you want to go to a movie?" = I'd eventually like to have sex with you.
"Can I take you out to dinner?" = I'd eventually like to have sex with you.
"Can I call you sometime?" = I'd eventually like to have sex with you.
"May I have this dance?" = I'd eventually like to have sex with you.
"Nice dress!" = Nice cleavage
"You look tense, let me give you a massage." = I want to fondle you
"What's wrong?" = What meaningless self-inflicted psychological trauma are you going through now?
"What's wrong?" = I guess sex tonight is out of the question.
"I'm bored." = Do you want to have sex?
"I love you." = Let's have sex now.
"I love you, too." = Okay, I said it... we'd better have sex now.
"Lets talk." = I am trying to impress you by showing that I am a deep person and maybe then you'd like to have sex with me.
"Will you marry me?" = I want to make it illegal for you to have sex with other guys.

That's all for now. Stay cool!

Renu sux

It was a day of forgotten keys and red eyes. My eyes started tearing after a few hours of wearing contact lens today. Even though my eyes were red yesterday too, I didnt think too much about it as I dismissed it as a case of sensitive eyes and it would probably go away after a while. The weird thing about it was there was gray stuff coming out of my eyes, which at first I assume was just the build-up of protein due to contacts.

When I walked into the house, my mom asked me why my eyes were red. Then she said, "Do you know there's this brand of contact lens solution that is taken off the shelves now and it has been known to give eye infection?" She also mentioned something about it being in the news where many people in Singapore were treated for some sort of serious eye infection and it could even lead to damaged eye corneas in the long run. I asked her which brand it was, thinking maybe it was just some small-fry brand. She said, "Something that starts with a R. Kinda like a four letter word." "RENU?? " I burst out. She replied, "Yea! I think that is it." I started running into my room, all the while praying, please dont let my solution be Renu. Screw it, the words "Bausch and Lomb Renu" stared back at me. I was stunned.

I had used that brand for so long and never expected that all the time, my red eyes could be caused by it. I had taken such care to replace my contacts dutifully, changed my contact lens case, but still.. I felt more gray stuff in my eyes, but thankfully, it stopped after a while. I'm freaked. I'm thinking whether to have my eyes examined. I googled Renu and fuck it, there were people who had to have cornea surgery due to the eye infection. Honestly, I'm scared.

I'm still thinking what to do. For those people using Renu solution, please throw it out. I know, being short-sighted is a pain in the ass... I dont think I will ever buy anything from them again. Screw it.

Chocolates and men

I'm back home and it feels good to come back to a place where you know you belong. I celebrated Valentine's Day with fish and we had a nice, impromptu dinner at his place. We planned to go town but I came from there and it was too crowded, hence his place. We had generous servings of salmon, my favourite fish :p , cooked by who else, but me! It was good, damn.. I'm craving for it now..

I dont really know what's the deal between me and fish. I told myself this was something I dont want to get into, but lately it seems like he's making an effort to be extra nice to me. But will it be enough to compensate me for the pain he put me through? I honestly dont know, and I know I dont want to get into something that I tried so hard to pull out of.

Why are men such weird creatures? The minute they feel like they're losing you, that's the time they put their ego aside and be the nice caring person you knew when you first started out. We girls are different. We tend to overcompensate when we feel that they are pulling away, which often seems to drive them further away.




Anyway, enough of sucky relationships. Here's a thought. If you are a chocolate lover, why dont you chill out at Mccafe with your favourite book and try their delicious frothy hot chocolate? Guarantee to satisfy your cravings! Have fun people!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi everyone!
Feels good to be back writing. I've been pretty busy over the past few days with school and also meeting with friends :)

Made some amazing friends and had the best time with my best friends. We had a steamboat in stella's room, complete with all kinds of nice food and tv. Yes, she has a tv in her room(she stays in school, so its kinda like a cool thing)! Cool huh?

Today is Valentine's Day. It's supposed to be a happy day for me, but I dont know how it will turn out to be. I was supposed to celebrate with my friends, but they have tests on wednesday, so I guess they would want to study on Tuesday. Fish said he wouldnt mind celebrating with me. We kinda broke the silence and met each other, and it was nice to see each other after some time. I'm thinking what presents to get for everyone, and it reminded me of the time when I started folding paper cranes for him one month before Valentine's Day and I got so mad at him over the fights we had that I threw them somewhere.

School is a torture, with all the projects and assignments and tests to prepare for. I'm starting to feel the heat, I guess partly because I am not one to manage my time well. I'll end here and here's wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! Do remember to tell your loved ones how much you love them!

All by myself

Life has been good to me so far. Now that things have ended with fish once and for all, I honestly expected myself to be sinking into depression, crying my eyes out every night, but so far, none of these has been happening. I remembered the last time we took a time out and I was so depressed that I woke up with puffy eyes everyday, sometimes till the extent of triple eyelids(gross), hid in my room all day, had suicidal thoughts.. But now, I'm being so strong that even I surprise myself. Maybe its the fact that I've given way too much for this relationship and the fact that I've been hurt too deeply that I can give it up once and for all. Knowing the fact that I did him no wrong helps a lot too. I do shed a few tears at times but that was it. Last time, I planned my schedule according to his. If he wanted to see me, I would push off everything for him. I would wait for him to end work just to see him. But now, I dictate my life according to me. I do what I feel like doing. I do feel a bit too independent, but I'm starting to enjoy life :)

Someone asked me, what it would take for him to win me back. I wouldnt say nothing, but it would take a lot more than a few fancy dinners and gifts. I just feel like I've given too much and recieved so litle that he has got to do a lot to compensate me for the hurt. Knowing the big ego guy he is, that would never happen in a million years. But what the hell. His loss, not mine.

There is so much to life besides just fish. I've been missing out on the good things in life but I'm beginning to see it so clearly now. I love my life, and I wouldnt change it for the world :p For those out there struggling through a bitter relationship or dealing with a break-up, have faith in yourself and never stop loving yourself. Because the whole world can stop loving you, but you will still have yourself...

Meeting with da girls

I met up with the girls yesterday in town. We did some shopping, sipped lots of coffee and had sushi. I bought lots of little things I saw on the way, which grew to a considerable sum of cash I spent :p Sipping coffee and bitching with the girls was so fun! We took some pictures so enjoy them :)















I thought it would be an early night as Pei and Stella had to go back home early to "lao yu sheng" (a traditional meal which the chinese does during the new year season where everyone goes crazy and stick their chopsticks into the pile of food and mess it around for good luck-correct me if I'm wrong). Turns out, pei didnt need to be back early so two of her ntu friends joined us. Cool guys they were.

We ended up hanging out at a coffee cafe again(though we didnt drink coffee), listened to them talk crap and played pool afterwards. One of the guys just got out of a bad relationship recently. It makes me wonder how some people are capable of saying "I love you" only to turn around and kiss someone else. Anyway, by the time we grabbed supper, it was already 5am. When I reached home, I was exhausted. I woke up today to hear banging on my door. I forgot that it was my grandma's birthday today. Then again, it was a busy day. I ate a lot and gambled like nobody's business. The birthday cake was delicious and we took some pictures. I'll post them up if I manage to get the pictures from my uncle :)

I'll end here guys. Hope the cheery pictures brighten up your day. You wouldnt believe how much shit I have to do after this. But its great knowing that nice guys exist and great friends never fail us. Have fun people!

"Name-changers" I know

My life is a whole big mess of STRESS and people who treat others like shit(you know who you are). I looked at all my notes and unread chapters piling up like a mountain and I'm scared. One of my modules requires us to read up to chapter seven according to the lesson plan. Dear mother of god, I'm only in the middle of chapter one. That's not the only module I'm lagging behind in. There is none I'm ahead in, or well prepared for. For one of my modules, I missed the first two tutorials in 2 weeks. I'm praying the tutor wont ask me what happened or I'll have to make up some crap excuse. I'm making a mental note to myself that I will attend all the rest of the tutorials for that module no matter what. What to do, class participation is a heavy frigging 15%! Yes, one of the heaviest weightage I've seen placed on class participation. And I've just reduced like 3% for myself, argh... I even started to chant, "I will attend all tutorials" to myself for a full 3 minutes just to knock some sense into me haha! Pretty lame?

Anyway, on to lighter things. I received an email from a fellow classmate who's interested in joining my project group. When you send an email from the school account to another student, there is an auto name check to ensure that such a student exists. Therefore, the name of the recipient will appear in the "to" section. I dont get why some people can spell my name with an extra "g" when they just saw my name like a few seconds ago. There are instances when a certain project mate whom I have worked with for 2 months spells my name with a "g" in all emails with my name. It can get frustrating, but I cant really be bothered to correct them. Though I can get insulted when I'm in a bad mood. Hee hee..

Next time when you send an email to someone whose name ends with something like "lin", try to make an effort to check if it has a "g" at the end. In case she is the kind that gets offended easily. :p
