a few of my guy friends recently commented that they have been on first dates with girls who look at them expectantly when the bill comes, without offering to pay for their share. they find it ….. not nice.
but as girls, if we are the ones asked out, must we offer to pay? is that the least we can or should do? i mean, we can pretend to take our purse out and pretend to want to look at the bill, right?
but if we do that, then the guys have to say, “oh that’s alright, this one is on me.” instead of, “hmm… yeah, your share is RM35 plus RM2 for tax….”
but funny thing is, my girl friends say i’m stupid when i offer to pay for my share. they tell me, “sheeesh, let him pay! he asked you out, so let him pay!”
this is really confusing.
so what exactly is the right etiquette for the girl, on her first and subsequent dates?
even when i do return the favour by buying the guy coffee later is considered a no no by my girl friends. but that’s what i do, just in case things never work out … and the guys won’t have a chance of accusing me of being a leech.
hmm.
feedback please.

interesting read.

…….. or is it “dress me”?
positive or negative?
i was in the hair salon waiting for the stylist to finish up with another customer before my turn. i stared at the figure, wondering what others (would) see in it. when i was younger, the figure’s perky boobs would attract me and i’d wonder……. why boobs are/were shown appreciation through art? ;PpPPp
does the figure make you think naughty thoughts? hehe. i thought maybe it’s provocative enough to enhance …. erm…… seductive surroundings…

back in secondary school, i used to check the compatibility match between my star sign and my crush’s or boyfriend’s star sign. i looked at one of linda goodman’s book and even preached to my friends which star sign would be a better match with theirs. ;P
many of my friends do not believe in such compatibility checks. i still do check on it once in a while, including chinese astrology. ;P just in case, you never know how accurate some may be. is it just a girl thing, or do some guys believe in it too?
it does end up being a bit upsetting when you’re strongly attracted to someone, and after checking both your horoscopes, you find that you’re not compatible. what’s next? fizzle out the attraction, or take a chance?
but goodness, lilian too’s book on my animal sign was (rather) a bit off last year. it mentioned that on one particular month, i’d have luck in love, and many would come begging for my attention. i excitedly waited for it to happen, but an uneventful month passed. it also mentioned that i’d be having good relations with my boss for another particular month, he’d be proud of me and my quality of work, but what happened was, i got scolded by the boss instead, and he started to find fault with me. >(
anyway, back to horoscopes. i realised how messy it can be. if i look at my star sign, the bloke and i could be compatible. but if i look at chinese astrology, it tells me that we’re incompatible. so what should i look at next, numerology, palm reading, tea leaves reading or what? it’s so confusing…
and then we also have fortune-telling. hmm… the visits to the medium to guide us through the hard times. of course, not many people believe in this.
my mum didn’t tell me, but my sister told me that the medium informed them that if i were to be married to my boyfriend at that time, i would have been ill-treated by his mother. wow. so it must be a close shave for me, because our relationship didn’t work out. =) but they only told me this after we broke up.

mr. attached wanted to ask me out for dinner for valentine’s day because he and his girlfriend don’t believe in celebrating valentine’s day. but i refused. totally against my principles. why should i be seen with someone else’s boyfriend on that night? it would’ve created a scandal.
so anyway, i received a rose and a valentine card that morning, from the guy in the office next to mine. he asked me if i was free for dinner, on wednesday, the day after v’s day, because he said something corny like, “a beautiful girl like surely will not be free on valentine’s day.” [*hehe* can puke?]
we had dinner. ok, not so fancy place. and you know me la, *hehe* i couldn’t help but to enjoy the eye candy for the night. cute cute cute!
and then it went downhill after that.
i almost tripped over a lil step in the restaurant. as he caught me, his hand touched my bum. and there was a light squeeze!
i spilt soup on the front of my dress – so embarrassing.
he kept looking at my cleavage. so i tried not to bend down too often.
he talked with his mouth full and while chewing.
he was funny at first, but his jokes became a bit cheeky later on. for example, “what are the benefits of breast milk? it won’t go sour! buy 1 free 1!”
once, he put his hand on my thigh and gave a squeeze, while chatting.
yerrr…. i had to suffer for almost 2 hours because i wanted to remain polite. octopus hands i cannot stand. and dirty jokes to impress me? that’s a bit… erm…. weird.
imagine after that i had to say thank you for dinner, that i had fun (so i lied). and worse still, was when he demanded for a goodnight kiss. the nerve!
which was gross, because his saliva………… i don’t think i should say it here. but i felt so violated. *sniff* lousy kisser, that’s for sure.
cute looks are deceiving, end of story. =(
i hope he moves to another office la, i’ve been lucky not to bump into him lately. *cross fingers* eeeeh. he is cute, but……. *shudder*

[plastic spoon, disposable chopsticks and styrofoam package.]
styrofoam lunchboxes are commonly used to store food, to be disposed of after use.
but we all know that we have to use recycle-friendly products to take care of the environment. lurvvvee the environment. =)

[paper spoon and paper package]
one of the restaurants around my office area does its part by using paper lunchboxes. and there was once, paper spoons alongside. i once had no choice to take it because they ran out of plastic ones.
but using it turned out to be gross.
imagine if your food has a lot of gravy.
after 2 spoonfuls, the sides of paper spoon became soggy. and each time it was brought to my mouth, feeling the soggy texture of the spoon gave me a “geli” (gross) feeling. blehhhhh….
imagine if people had to eat their porridge or drink their soup with it.

[that’s due to gravy, not my saliva.;P]
the shop has stopped using/supplying paper spoons, and it’s back with plastic spoons. *phew*

previously in malaysia, abortion for young unwanted pregnancies were not allowed. the option for abortion was only available for life and death situations for adults. should the young mother’s life be at stake, hence an abortion would be most necessary. but now, i think it’s allowed.
in singapore, teenagers are required to obtain their parents’ written consent.
BUT i may be wrong tho. you know, i’m quite ignorant with ‘current issues’ anyway. ;P

a few months back when this girl found out that she was pregnant, i advised her that she should consider whether or not she was ready to continue with the pregnancy and to start motherhood so young, bearing in mind the lots of cons/disadvantages that come with it, i.e. the parents’ anger and disappointment, would the baby be a good reason enough for her and the boyfriend to get married immediately. you see, when she confided in me, she told me that her boyfriend believed himself to be ready for marriage and to be a father to the child.
“but what about you? are you ready?” i asked.

she is only 21 years old, barely an adult.
after thinking about it, she decided to go ahead with an abortion (much to the displeasure of the boyfriend). she didn’t want to risk her parents’ disappointment and wrath. and also, the future is still a long way to go, what if he’s not the One?
so the abortion was done.

and just recently, she tells me that she suspects she could be pregnant.
again.

aarrrggggghhhhhhh. *knocks head against wall*
which part of “safe sex” does the couple not understand? i’ve decided that this time i’ll keep quiet instead, but i can’t help to feel frustrated!!! frustrated with the girl or with the boy, for being careless for the second time? both.
of course i know i cannot intervene with whatever decision they make, but really la, i’m just feeling frustrated, and that’s about it i can do.
sigh.
