As you all know, Club Med Cherating is located in the North East of Malaysia in the State of Terengganu, about 5 hours away from Kuala Lumpur. As stated earlier, Cherating is well known for their beaches.
Other than the beach, Club Med is surrounded by a lush forest. It made the place tranquil and serene. However, staying next to a forest does have its drawbacks. The animals!

Double Parking, My Ass
Damn frustrating when you see a vacant parking spot, but to have some idiot’s car double-parked, blocking the damn spot. Real idiots, I tell you.
On another note altogether, today’s my 100th post! Ya, man. Fancy that!!!!!! *does a dance*
My top 3 posts are:
56 comments – threatening suicide is dumb
46 comments – who pays for the first date?
43 comments – Tell me I’m Cute
[my cockroach trap post is actually 4th place!]
*muaks* thank you, I thought I’d never survive this guestblogging assignment. ;P
fashion: sneakers
Sneakers. Trainers. Sports shoes. Same.
Do older or working women fall for men or boys who still wear sneakers all the time?
Once in a while is OK la.
But not all the time (this applies to working men).
Makes me feel like i’m babysitting my younger brother, instead of dating. ;P
Staying Faithful
A friend once asked if I would ever consider having an affair with a married man. Truthfully, I said I’d rather not, but if I’m already too old to ever find someone to marry, and if it happens, maybe. He asked me why later, why not now?
“You’ve got to be kidding me. Why should I?” I replied.
Surely I do still have some time and value (‘saham’) before it’s time for me to retire to the shelf as an old maid?
It is a scary thing to agree to holy matrimony and then realise later on that fidelity is something you cannot keep. You begin to wonder if s/he is the One you really want to spend your life with, the one you want to see first thing in the morning when you wake up.
My friend is married and for him to ask me this question, it frightens me. I pray he’s not found an eye candy he’d rather spend his money and time with, instead of his wife and kids.
Do you realise that the usual reasons given for having an affair are like these:
(i) I’m not happy;
(ii) S/He wasn’t the One, I felt obligated;
(iii) I deserve to be happy!
I know of someone who is in his 50’s and has a girlfriend almost half his age. His kids are half his age. I heard that all those years he considered divorcing his wife because he regretted marrying young and he thinks he won’t be able to stay with her for the rest of his life. Now that his kids are older and soon to be married off, he thinks that it is the right time to leave his wife for his own happiness.
“Before I die, I want to be truly happy.” He was quoted saying.
Back to my friend, he tells me that the hardest thing in marriage to remain faithful.
Even if it’s just a steady relationship, there are some out there who find it difficult to be faithful. What with the generation of FB’s (f*ck buddies) and the motto ‘never f*ck and tell’?
Go back to my post on ‘innOcent flirting‘ – the crush on the guy who has a girlfriend. He had the cheek to ask me if I’d consider ……………………… having fun with him behind his girlfriend’s back.
Inexperienced as I am, I never agreed to it. His philosophy is that they (he and his girlfriend) should get it out of their system before they should ever marry. They can sleep with everyone else but without the other partner finding out. “Better be restless now than when married.” he said.
What happened to true love forever and a lifetime?
Cross my fingers I don’t have to steal someone else’s husband or boyfriend in the future.
But I hear that the ratio of men to women is 1:3 or 1:4.
Pulling Ranks
I got irritated with someone the other day, supposedly my “superior”. You know how some people enjoying bossing everyone around just by saying, “I’m the Boss here!” or
“I’m Team Leader, so listen to me!” or
“Who is supposed to head this project, you tell me?”
WTF.
If you’re just giving a suggestion, as a leader or superior, you should always consider its value, instead of closing your ears and refusing to listen.
I was merely asking a simple question the other day, and I was shot down with a “Who’s the boss here? I’m the Boss!”
Which technically meant, “Shut the f*ck up, you’re not entitled to ask me this.”
He just didn’t want to answer the question. I was angry at his response because he obviously forgot my contribution to the whole thing.
I hate people like this. It’s not easy to work with people like this or even be friends!
Being a good boss or team leader is a demanding task, you must know how to lead your team as well as be apart of a team as a team player. If you fail to pull your weight around, i.e., you do not contribute to the project at hand, nobody will like you using the phrase, “I’m the Boss here!”.
Phrases like these to remind who’s the boss should only be used when there’s a rebellious team mate who does not contribute at all.
One day, I will tell you the whole story. Politics, I tell you, you can never escape – office politics, school politics, family politics, blogging politics, etc.
Easy Peasy
It was extremely easy for my friend, MIndy to have a guy give her his number the other night. According to Mindy, the guy, Chan is one helluva hunk. w00t!
Mindy: Hey, when do you want to play tennis? You’ve been meaning to, right?
Chan: Yes. Hehe.
Mindy: *handed over her phone to Chan* There, key in your number for me and I’ll call you the next time I’m playing tennis.
*Chan keyed in his number….*
Lesson #1 – It’s easier to make friends with strangers AND HIT ON GUYS by using a hobby as an ulterior motive. ;P
[cont]
*Chan keyed in his number and handed the phone back to Mindy*
*Mindy took her phone back*
Mindy: *looked at his number* And your name is Choong right? *Mindy keyed his name into her phone*
“MY NAME IS CHAN!!”
Lesson #2 – It is also very easy to insult the guy by forgetting his name.
Before Chan left, Mindy wanted to say goodbye to him. In her drunken state:
“Bye CHOONG!!!! Hope to play tennis with you soon!!!!”
She giggled and waved at him, as he turned to stare at her.
Lesson #3 – Please impress guys when you’re not so drunk.

Inexperienced Old Men
A question for the girls:
Some time ago, chaliz asked me to bring up the topic about older men and their lack of experience with serious relationships. Girl friends have pondered the same question as well.
A man in his mid-30’s has never had a girlfriend before. The statement “No, I’ve never had a girlfriend before,” may sometimes surprise women/girls. A friend of mine says that it terrifies her, she’s afraid the inexperienced (yet old) boyfriend would be unable to deal with relationship issues that often crop up. Maybe he’ll be too clingy or that her history of relationships may affect him sooner or later.
Does it bother you?
A question for the boys:
Similarly, the issue of sexual experiences will surely crop up. I received a query via email regarding this issue:
If the man has never had sex before, and gets together with a younger girl who is more experienced than him, would he mind
(a) being taught all the naughty tricks she know; or
(b) about her sexual past?
I mean, you know, men have their pride and ego. ;P
Repeating Partners
A friend was shocked to find out that most often girls (or guys) will somehow get together with someone new, will actually have similar characteristics to the exes. I sat through coffee with her as she told me of her revelation.
“You know, it’s really true. I read it somewhere,” she said.
“I was comparing my last ex and the other one before him. They have similar traits. They’re both mummy’s boys, they’re both emotional, they’re both hamsap (perverted) like hell.”
“Maybe just these two? How about others?” I suggested.
“Nope, there are no others.” she shook her head. (Ok, for the record she only had 2 serious relationships.)
So I was reading it up on the internet the other day (and I lost the page, or I’d let you read it as well) and it seems that there is a pattern – you’ll always be attracted to a person who share the same traits as the last person you were attracted to.
I don’t know which is worse, Freud’s theory that we’d always want to find our mother or father in our partners or this one. ;P
My friend is clearly not happy about this clone-like characteristics. She swears that the next boyfriend shall not have similar traits as the exes, because those were the same traits that she could not deal with.
p.s. There’s also something about being addicted to the wrong men, some women apparently enjoy suffering – sick!

For the love of Harddance!
Heineken Thirst Studio 06 is one of the biggest music competitions ever to hit Malaysia with the winner of Thirst Studio getting to produce and perform with some of the world’s largest producers.
So it’s fitting to have Groove Armada Soundsystem headlining this year’s Thirst Studio celebrations. Heralded as one of the most exciting British dance acts of recent years, the group displays the stellar skills of Tom Findlay and Andy Cato. Being a constant TV presence, they make music that is both heart-thumping and superstylin’.
Groove Armada Soundsystem will be joined by Thailand’s Futon, the electro-rock outfit that is massive in their home country and gathering a huge underground profile in Europe. Linking the worlds of dance and rock, Futon is a mix of pounding beats and anthemic choruses.
Thirst Studio is also proud to bring you some of the best Malaysian talent onstage alongside the international acts. H.U.M.P. is an exclusive performance by Thirst Studio judge and the UK’s Defected Records collaborator Haze.
Support also comes from the winners of last year’s Heineken Thirst winner Altered Image and their amazing mash up of visuals and beats, plus the Thirst 2004 winner Blink, recognized as Malaysia’s leading breaks DJ and a regular overseas performer.
And of course, the winner of this year’s Thirst Studio will also be performing their winning material making this the biggest Thirst ever and one you can’t afford to miss.
