how the girls feel...


at Kaleido, Melbourne Central

I had gotten a call from Marie and Ricky on the Thursday.
We were supposed to go out on the Friday.
I met up with Chi Man and then linked up with my most gracious hosts.
We waited around for Kath for a fair while.
And, they had then brought us out to this supposedly *new* lounge.

It was an old lounge (that i had been to before) but, a new event.

I had met up with Will, an old friend whom I had not seen for a century.
This man was one of the better wingmen during my CounterStrike days.
He has cleaned up heaps and is now stylish with a shiny Honda Accord Euro.
And, he is now living proof that disproves the myth that 'nice cars gets you the girls'.

and Yea...

His girlfrend of about a year had called it quits and he was there to just cut loose and relax.
And, how they do the whole relax bit... is wild.
Out came daddy's credit card and the round table of drinks.
These bunch of people really are not very civilized.
Although the monetary value of drinks on the table suggest otherwise.

There was this guy, Ari, who came by with a bottle and was shouting for me.
I was like, yeap... sure, I'll just get myself a clean glass and we can have a drink.
As I removed of my smokes away and exhaled...



HE SHOVED THE DAMN BOTTLE IN MY MOUTH !!!



and, I was standing there half gulping, half drinking while he as pouring this stuff down my throat.
I have never felt so violated in my life.

*blush*





I now know how the girls feel...

*winks*

STATUS this morning...


last night at Kaleido, Melbourne Central...

Friends and their girlfriends who leave them.
Friends and their itty bitty broken hearts.
Friends and their daddy's credit cards.
Friends and their Bacardi 151.
Friends and how they can't drink from a cup.
Friends and how they drink straight from the bottle.



currently hanging over

ouch...

A blonde and a car ride...


A guy and his girlfriend were driving to the movies one night for a date. As the guy was making a right turn, he noticed that his turn signal light inside the car didn't light up at all.

As he approached the next right turn, he asked his girlfriend to stick her head out the window to tell him if his turn signal was working. At the turn, she stuck her head out the window and replied,
"It is..."

"It isn't..."

"It is..."

"It isn't..."

"It is..."

"It isn't..."

"It is..."

Something I have noticed...


... if I do not pick up my cup of daily $2.60 morning java from Laurent on my way to work, I actually save heaps for the week.

100 things a man should learn.

from kwang's Xanga site.



100. Girls enjoy always having something kind of wrong, like a headache or cramping or something. Remember: No matter how bad it sounds, she’s going to outlive you.

99. Most women will not have sex for the first time with a guy unless their legs are shaved. If your date shows up and you spot stubble, she’s trying to keep herself in line.

98. No matter how much she reassures you, if you can’t get a hard-on she assumes you’re not attracted to her.

97. Beware of your girlfriend's single party friend or gay bud. They want her to be single with them and will encourage any bad behavior as often as possible.

96. Jewelry. Now you always know what to get her for a last-minute gift.

95. The sight of you in your socks and underwear is the biggest turnoff in the world.

94. Never trust a girl who has no girlfriends. She doesn’t get along with other women because she’s either bat-shit crazy or just plain mean.

93. Girls who say, “I love sports!” are lying. Girls who ask you what time the game is on, without specifying which game they’re talking about, are not.

92. A random hookup is more likely to result in pregnancy, because a woman has more sex when she’s most fertile.

91. She still has all the love letters and cards from her past boyfriends.

90. Just started dating? Women want you to drive, even if it’s their car.

89. A girl would prefer to get a $100 gift from Tiffany & Co. than a $500 gift from Fortunoff. Why? Because her friends will ask where she got it.

88. “If I give you my number on Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bets to score a date. Monday is too desperate, Thursday is too late.”—Claire, 27

87. Your female coworkers are obsessed with the fact that on average they receive less pay than male counterparts—and the fact that they work less overtime and get pregnant is irrelevant to the discussion.

86. Laying a towel down over the wet spot is like putting your jacket over a mud puddle for her, you noble bastard.

85. A recent study revealed that natural blondes could be extinct in 200 years, so unless she’s Norwegian, her towhead might be bottled.

84. Sixteen percent of American men have been with a prostitute—scientific proof most women are decent in bed.

83. Women always want to believe what you’re saying is true.

82. What do women really want in bed? More blankets. They get colder than men.

81. The threesome is not about you; it’s about the two girls. If you’re lucky enough to score one with your girlfriend, enjoy sex with the other one because there’s a good chance it’ll end the relationship.

80. If women have an excuse to take a pill, they’ll take it.

79. Never trust the woman who gives you the best blow job you’ve ever had.

78. “I hate when my boyfriend is sweaty and tries to lie down on top of me or cuddle after I’ve come. Wait five minutes.”—Erin, 21

77. The average woman kisses 79 men before getting married.

76. She hates your Xbox more than she lets on. Blow her off for some gaming and she’ll soon stop wasting time on a dork like you.

75. Women who are obsessed with their dogs also like to keep their men on a short leash.

74. “Girls who buy their men lap dances and pretend to enjoy it are kidding themselves. They’re trying to keep him happy with some controlled freedom.”—Suzy, 31

73. Over the course of her life, a woman will use 10 men for every one she loves. If you lent her your car or helped her move and didn't get laid, you're one of the 10.

72. During emergencies, women are likely to remain calmer than men. Though it should be noted that inventing minor crises on a weekly basis gives them more practice.

71. “Women grow hairs in a lot of the same places that men do—lower abdomen, nipples—we just get rid of them.”—Katie, 26

70. Unless they’re lesbians, she won’t approve of your hanging out with other girls. Even if they’re ugly. And, really, even if they’re lesbians.

69. If you have something to hide, she’ll find it.

68. Eighty-five: The number of males per 100 females in Gary, Indiana, lowest male-to-female ratio of any city with a population of 100,000-plus. The highest male-to-female ratio is in Salinas, California: 114 males for every 100 females.

67. Kiss her before two dates have gone by or you’ll be “friended.”

66. They can't live without tension. Every once in a while she's gonna pick a fight with you for no reason. Accept this as a running, inevitable theme and your relationship will make a lot more sense.

65. The most painless way to end an argument: Let her win.

64. An online dating service’s survey found that a woman’s ideal man has brown hair and blue eyes.

63. In the U.S., 21 percent of women ages 18 to 59 hold out for their honeymoon.

62. A British study claims a woman’s chances of getting married drop by 40 percent for every 16-point rise in her IQ. The same increase in IQ for a man boosted his chances of getting married by 35 percent.

61. When a woman tells you her problems, she does not want you to offer solutions.

60. Women often cite manhandling of breasts as the biggest foreplay faux pas.

59. “When I’m drunk, I can’t come. Not even with a vibrator.”—Lauren, 35

58. If they're going to do it, most wives cheat between the ages of 18 and 29.

57. Most women think they’re better drivers than they are. Don’t point this out while she’s at the wheel or she’ll freak and crash.

56. Women ingest about half the lipstick they apply, which means they eat approximately one to three sticks per year.

54. A woman might say she just wants sex, but sleep with her for a while and she’ll change her tune. “I’ve known so many women who think they can pull this off, but they always develop feelings for the guy,” says Evie, 22.

53. According to the American Association of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Angelina Jolie’s lips were the most requested celebrity feature among all female patients in 2004.

52. Despite always complimenting another woman’s short haircut, she secretly celebrates having one less competitor, since men prefer long hair.

51. Don’t call her “cute.” In her mind it’s the same as “not vomit-inducing.” “Sexy,” OK. “Hot,” yes. “Fucking awesome,” only if she’s at least slightly buzzed.

50. Women often buy shoes a size or two small because they’re in denial about the size of their feet—which they can’t stand.

49. They dream of one day peeing in a urinal.

48. Women know where they stand looks-wise but worry about being considered cool, about which they’re unsure.

47. According to the U.S. Bureau of Statistics, 23 percent of 18- to 34-year-old women live with their parents, versus 31 percent of you losers.

46. Women want to talk dirty, but they’re afraid you won’t respect them in the morning. Reassure her that letting go in bed doesn’t make her less classy and she’ll probably go wild. Jäger helps.

45. Twenty-three percent of this magazine’s readers are women.

44. A psycho jealous girl will do anything to keep her man—including anal.

41. If she suddenly cuts her hair short, it might mean she no longer cares what you think of her. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about someone else’s opinion.

40. About half of all brides will lose a good friend over a ridiculous bridesmaid squabble.

39. It never hurts to say you're sorry, even if you don't mean it.

38. Let her beat you at something once in a while—poker, chess, Ping-Pong—and she’ll be more likely to give you what you want, like some peace and quiet.

37. Women’s public bathrooms are about three times more disgusting than men’s.

36. “At one point or another, I’ve gone through your things looking for any evidence from past relationships. I’m talking photographs, postcards, mementos, address books, diaries. If you don’t like it, get rid of this stuff before letting me in your apartment. It’s not about trust; it’s about curiosity, and it drives us crazy till it’s been satiated.”—Caroline, 28

35. Like you, girls hate nothing more than a clingy partner who needs them every eight seconds.

34. Chick rock strikes a deeply primal chord inside women while simultaneously revolting men. Just sit back and let her sing the Sarah McLachlan or Ani DiFranco song. It’s only about four minutes long.

33. The average woman owns eight bras and wears each one five times before washing. Shasta!

32. Girls will not sit on any toilet outside their own home or a five-star hotel. Everywhere else they’re hovering above the toilet in a squat.

31. Got a new girl coming over? Your (tidy) bathroom should include clean linen, a box of Puffs Plus, and several full rolls of TP.

30. “Don’t caress our faces while we’re kissing, unless you really, really, really like us.”—Rachel, 21

29. On a first date, women never order what they really want to eat.

28. Breast augmentation surgery has grown by 257 percent since 1997. The most popular size? C-cup. As if you didn’t know.

27. Gain her trust when you’re out by calling her at 10 P.M. She’ll go to bed content you’re thinking of her, even if you’re slurping Jell-O shots off some skank’s cleavage.

26. Put down the Drakkar and grab a box of Good & Plenty. Women are turned on by the scent of black licorice.

25. At least one of her friends wants to sleep with you.

24. A good but flawed man is a fixer-upper gem, and women love nothing more than home improvements.

23. Every woman is self-conscious about her ass. Tell her you love her ass and you’ll see it more often.

22. If you want more sex, tell your girl an attractive woman hit on you that day. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

21. More than half of surveyed females between 18 and 25 would prefer to be run over by a truck than be fat.

20. All women think they’re smarter than their partners in some significant way.

19. The more piercings she has, the more places she’ll let you put it.

18. Once in a while, let her pick the movie and don't complain about it.

17. Any good woman will tell ya, honesty is not always the best policy.

16. Chicks aren’t afraid to get kinky; you just have to have the nerve to ask.

15. Girls don’t want to date doormats. So make her proud and refuse to give up bowling night with the guys.

14. Don't take a woman to a concert you really want to see—she'll just want to leave early.

13. “Women appreciate a big penis, but having one doesn’t give you an excuse to suck at foreplay.”—Elena, 28

12. Studies show women are more attracted to “macho” guys near ovulation. The rest of the month, they’re drawn to “good providers,” otherwise known as chumps.

11. She likes one of your friends.

10. Ugly girls like to hang out with pretty girls because it makes them feel like they're more attractive. Pretty girls hang out with ugly girls for the same reason.

9. The minute she decides she’s even mildly interested in you, she starts making mental pictures of what your kids would look like and imagining her first name with your last.

8. Sixty percent of women in the United States color their hair, according to L’Oréal (who are obviously hoping they can peer-pressure the other 40 percent).

7. Dated a stripper? Keep your mouth shut, stupid.

6. Rub a sheet of medium-grade sandpaper across your face. That’s your five o’clock shadow when you kiss her. Now rub that sandpaper on your inner thigh. (Mind you, we’re not suggesting you shave.)

5. Female serial killers tend to use poison rather than guns or knives.

4. Foghat’s “Slow Ride” is not about a trip in the car. Get the hint?

3. The one breakup line she’ll never be able to argue you out of: “I’m sorry, but I no longer have feelings for you.”

2. Buying a present for your girl? She’ll hate it (and you, if she finds out you took along another woman to help pick it out.)

1. You'll probably never know how many guys she's slept with. The standard lie is five. Which really means about 12.

離家不遠

by Nan Quan Mama


"When you are feel the slip,
When you start to crack,
When it's all to hell,
Know I have your back
Whether it's right or wrong,
Is beside the point,
'cause we're more than blood
..."







Who has 'got my back'?

jinn was abused? WTF ?!?


Basically a true story, about wierdness and work...

I had recommended Jinn for a job with my current employer.
He had gone for the interview, but was given a hard time.
The interviewer (who also happens to be my employer) walked the fine line towards being rude.

This was strange 'cause my interview about a month back (with the same guy) went very well.





Below is an *edited* copy of our exchange over MSN...

---------------------------------------------------------------

c_keah says:

jinn says:

what did john have to say about it?

c_keah says:
john was deliberately hard on you
cause i had recommended u
he asked ppl for recommendations
and i gave u 2 him
cause u were in my mind the best fit
but he ground u
and another guy, who was recommended by luke

c_keah says:
his reasons?
cause he doesnt to play favourites
cause u should get in by your own merits
and not by recommendations

c_keah says:
and so...
my conclusion is that john is BIPOLAR
needs meds

jinn says:
hahahahahhahahahaha

c_keah says:
*shakes head*

c_keah says:

Fabio Grosso celebrates after converting the deciding penalty.





Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro kisses the World Cup.



It was a shame I missed the live telecast of the match.
I just finished watching the replay of the 'net.

Unbelievable...



Italy Wins their FOURTH World Cup

Italy beat France 5-3 on penalties in the World Cup final after the the two teams finished level at 1-1 at extra time. It was a superb match with a dramatic encounter in which, French playmaker Zinedine Zidane was sent off.

After stressing through so many games, minutes, fouls, shots on goal, Italy survived and won its fourth World Cup Sunday in Berlin.
They won with 5-3 on penalty kicks after the match was tied 1-1 after 120 minutes.

This has been such a long process, and it's almost difficult for a fans as myself and Kwang to even realize what has happened.

Hey man... tell Andrea that the French was good, but his team was GREAT.

FORZA ITALIA !!!

cute...


I saw this on a t-shirt in Melbourne Central...


doomed relationship no 28.

I once dated a guy who reminded me of an elm tree.
The relationship didn't work out, he was a shady character.

In the words of St. Theresa of Avila,

Accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul.

SUPERMAN RETURNS


*cue famous opening theme*




The son becomes the father, and the father the son.





How should I begin to describe this movie?

I really can't understand how so many critics tore apart this movie.
I personally had found it to be entertaining and amusing.
It was a great tribute to the Superman as portrayed by the late Christopher Reeves.
There were the 1980s cliches and the very arrogant self-righteousness, almost preaching attitude of the movie.








It all began with the father, JOR-EL...

"Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and power are needed - but always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. Your being is both separate and your own, but I have caused your earthly presence and must share responsibility for your actions.

They can be a great people, Kal-El. They wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all - their capacity for good - I have sent them you. My only son."











This is the Superman I remembered from my days as a nerdy lil' kid.
I would ride a damn few blocks from my Grandpa's place to the comic shop every other day after school.
There was the penny pinching during lunch so that I could afford the superheroes running around.
I used to read these comics and enjoyed the pride in being heroic.

This is the Superman who stood for Truth and Justice.

No crime is too big or too small for this Superman.







I really must say this...
The new Superman has a really amazing resemblance to the old Superman.
Even if you do not agree with the superficial similarities, let us agree on the spiritual.
Some say Brandon Routh looks and sounds too much like Christopher Reeve's Superman (in a bad way?).

I say, "Big hairy deal."

It's not distracting at all and early on it's easy to get into Routh as the new Man of Steel.

Brandon Routh, while a relative unknown, seamlessly switches between Superman and Clark Kent.
Clark is his usual awkward, bumbling self.
But, he is believable and not at all schticky.
Routh plays Superman with a romantic flair with the flowing cape and the flying. His emotion-filled facial expressions let you into exactly how he's feeling and dealing with everyone's reaction to his long absence.

Including his relationships with Lois and Lex.







This film is a departure from the previous movies in the series.
Superman is more developed as a character.
He's not just a costumed actor, reacting to other people.
He is seen in quiet, contemplative moments, and shown to be susceptible to pure human emotion.
Bullets may bounce off his skin, but Superman's heart can break just like anyone else's.

If Superman: The Movie succeeded by taking Superman seriously, Superman Returns succeeds by making Superman human.

Brian Singer (said director) directed a movie to do what Batman Begins did to the Caped Crusader franchise.
By bring a new dark, brooding vitality to the series, the stories told became more interesting.
Same character and the same story... just told at a different angle.

Superman Returns does the same by making superman feel human.
The superhero is not all steel, he feels pain, hurt, heartbreak.
He returns to a world that has moved on and forgotten him.
He has a son he will never truly have a hand in raising.
He feels love for a woman who will never, ever be truly his.








So it now falls to the son, KAL-EL...

You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you. Even in the face of our deaths, the richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I have learned, everything that I feel all this and more, I bequeath you my son. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life.

You will make my strength your own, see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine.

The son becomes the father, and the father the son.

This is all I can send you, Kal-El.

Congratulations to GABBY + WENZ !!!

OMG !!! OMG !!! OMG !!!

Gbriel and Wen Zee are getting married. I was kind of shocked when they told me back in February. I grew up with them looking over me hoping I'd grow up good. Never really expected, but it was bound to happen, that they would get married.

Such a big, gigantic, monumental commitment...
