I’ve never been able to appreciate poetry. In fact, I actually don’t like poetry because I think they’re frilly writing that do not make efficient use of words, haha!

The only time I read poetry was during English Lit back in secondary school. We did Emily Dickinson and a couple other poets. Could be Keats or Browning. See, I can’t even remember!

And then you see movies or read books where the female characters get all woozy and swoony when the objects of their desire (i.e. the men) quote some verse of poetry in an effort to woo them. Does this happen in real life? Haha…

ok la… it may work for some women but it definitely does nothing for me! LOL! I don’t know Keats from Browning from Tennyson. (come to think of it, we read Tennyson’s “Ulysses” in Eng. Lit, hehe).

So anyway, some things may impress me but reciting poetry is definitely not one of them

Update

PhilipC has gotten his new kitten. Get this, his cats are named Aurora (after Sleeping Beauty of course, hehe…) and Adora, as christened by his 4-year-old daughter, Clarissa.

Damn super canggih names!

I’ve got 2 friends who have mini zoos in their backyards

PhilipC : 1 dog, 1 cat,  2 turtles,1 tortoise, 6 angelfish, 6 gouramis, 3 corydoras plus one young daughter and one baby son. Apparently, him and his wife have a segregation of kids and pets. His responsibilities are the daughter, fish, and turtles. His wife’s are the son, tortoise, dog, and cat. And they have no maid! OMG! And he wants another cat!

SenanC : 2 dogs, 2 cats, frogs, fish. He says, “I don’t care if I’m allergic to them, I still want to have them.” Apparently, he’s a bit allergic to the cats. Sometimes he comes in to work with a runny nose, attributed to his cat(s) who’d decided they wanted his company the night before and sneaked into his room.

Do I have cool friends or wat?

It’s like a neverending vicious cycle of “When are yous”.

When you are single and unattached, people will ask “When are you getting a girlfriend/boyfriend?”

When you are single and attached, people will ask “When are you getting married?”

When you are married with no kids, people will ask “When are you having kids?”

When are you married with kid(s), people will ask “When are you having your next one?”

It’s come to a point where I consciously refrain from asking my friends these types of questions because I know how annoying they can be after the umpteenth time you’ve had to answer them.

I believe in karma. You know, the whole “do unto others as you would have them do unto you“.

Buddhism does revolve around karma and reincarnation, right?

Perhaps some of us should take heed of this.

Sometimes, when you think you know everything about a person, you discover something that changes your perspective of the person entirely.

Maybe some of us are blind.

Or just in denial.

But regardless, it is the truth that matters.

And with the truth, decisions will be made.

Each of us are different people, with different values and perspectives in life. Being judgmental does not serve any purpose except to negate the situation.

But there are some things that just cannot be ignored.

Each of us has a past, some with more baggage than others.

Acceptance is key, patience is a virtue.

Whatever the decision, there must not be regrets.

• What if things are meant to be different…
• What if things deviate from the original plan…
• What if some things cannot be controlled…
• What if some things hit you in the face and you don’t realize it till it’s too late…
• What if it never begins/ends…
• WHAT IF……….?????

Zhern the Intern thought I was 26 and an analyst.

My previous immediate supervisor thought I was 26.

I wish!!!!!!!

In SATC-The Movie, there was this part where Miranda and Steve had a ‘dry’ period in their sex lives. So they were in the kitchen, and Steve suddenly blurts out that he slept with someone. Obviously, Miranda gets absolutely pissed and Steve is all apologetic and tried to placate Miranda by saying that it was just one time and it didn’t mean anything.

ok, I don’t get it. I’ve seen a lot of movies and also heard some stories where men who cheat say the same thing “It didn’t mean anything!” but I still don’t get it. Do men actually think that it makes their partners feel better when they say “it didn’t mean anything” when they have cheated?

I know I know… studies have shown that men have sex on their minds like, 90% of the time (I’m pulling this figure from the air because I can’t remember the exact figure except that it is a significant percentage) but I thought perhaps men should be given more credit in controlling their urges but I guess time and again, men themselves have proven that they can’t control their urges.

In my personal opinion, I feel that this declaration of “It didn’t mean anything” is equally as bad as its opposite because it seems that these men are so driven by their need for physical gratification that they can just go and do it with any female without any emotional attachment. That whenever they feel that they are not getting enough (by their standards) from their partners, they would go out and get it thru other means.

Well, I’m female (and we all know that the female brain works differently from the male) and I just cannot imagine getting it on with someone whom I don’t “like” just for the physical gratification.

Of course, Miranda forgave Steve after a period of separation and counseling. It’s a movie, after all.
