Yummy Fun!

Surprise, surprise!

Just when I was sure that my life in Sugarland was doomed for eternal boredom, Chubby Hubby suddenly looked over my shoulder and read the MSN message that Daphne left for me. He later realised that Daphne made a hell lot of sense. Afterall, we are probably not about to come back to this part of the world again for a long time after our stint here is over so in his opinion, we just had to make more use of our time spent here.

Today, we went exploring. I bet hardly anyone of you would be aware of Fal****k except for its fabled Wheel (which really isn't such big deal anyway). Discovered great food in some great restaurants with great views.

I especially liked The Rosebank Beefeater. Every sunday there's the Sunday Roast with 3 choices: Roast Beef, Roast Chicken and Lamb for just 6.99 Sugarland Currency and comes together with seasonal veggies, some bread, new potatoes and lotsa declicious gravy!

Next week, we'd be headed towards some other part of the country for more sight-see with my Auntie Jenny... Finally, there's something to do!

People are never content, isn't it?

It's funny isn't it?

People will never tell you to join their company even though they keep espousing its benefits. At the end of the day, people will still say, 'I've only told you the good stuff, you ain't seen the shit yet! So don't come to my job, it's like crap!"

People running businesses will also not ever say that it's a good year. If the current year is good, the last one was even better and next year is always never as good as the one before.

I woke up this morning thinking, "Gee, maybe I should go back to Sunny Singapore", when just last week I was telling myself, "Yay! Away away!!"

Somewhere along the way, I started to cry. Somehow this time my trip just wasn't as great as I envisioned it to be. Sure, the people are still the same, the place is still the same and the smiles are still the same. But somehow, I feel empty.. really empty... Somehow it feels like, I dunno, everything's the same and yet nothing's the same?

I told Daphne this morning that I was bored to tears and wanted to go home. Daphne says that's significantly better than her life back in Singapore facing crappy collegues and bosses and never for one minute being herself. To her, I was like some unbridled spirit set free on the pastures of Sugarland to wander, relax and think of nothing, far away from political struggles and whatever not.

To me, I oddly crave the routine lifestyle there, waking up with really something to do! I envy Yun Jia because she can go to school. I envy Daphne because she has a job to go to. Here, I feel nothing more than a burden to my hubby and to those around me.

Daphne suggests that I grab myself a bus route map or a train map and ride around, getting on and off whatever stops whenever I feel like it. And when I am tired or chilled to the bone or both, then I should go to the nearest store for a hot cuppa. Sounds good, except that's only going to be another financial burden on hubby since we are living the lives of impoverished students.

Sure, I mean its not that bad! Not like we are reduced to instant noodles and canned food day after day. Still, I can't even bring myself to bring myself anything after the conversion from SGD to Sugarland Currency.

Day in day out, I sew, sew, sew and sew somemore... If each of my stitches were worth gold, I think I'd be filthy rich by now.

Headache.... Larry's here.... Time to go look at the scenery....

My Pseudo Tai-Tai Life

Chubby Hubby provides me everything adequately enough to make me happy.. We've got a nice apartment with rabbits on the lawn, a nice Merc parked in front of the apartment and great company complimented with food and wine every other weekend.

The sad facts of life is, my Red Merc isn't working and the rabbits have gone into hiding and I am getting more like an auntie rather than a tai-tai as everyone seems to think...

So sickening... the only thing that is making my life miserable is that fact that I am not riding my Red Merc to go shopping... Reduced to a life of poverty.. everywhere and everyday I have to depend on my KAH....

Its awfully beautiful though... One of the sexiest cars that you can find on the planet... The only thing it needs is to change the damn battery... else its got everything! Heating, plush seats and a sunroof... Absolutely beautiful... and it photographs beautifully...

Okie, so what EXACTLY am I doing in Sugarland? Like I told the immigration officer, seriously, NOTHING! So I basically work on my cross stitching everyday. Other than that, we go to the local supermarkets and explore whatever they have there.

There's the usual TESCO (I like the shampoo and conditioner!), ASDA (Good washing detergents) and Sainsbury's (Wah lau, the lemon curd sponge is to die for manz!), and now there is also Morrisons (looks damn like Cold Storage leh, even the pricing also lagi atas), Aldi (went there to look for German sausages) and Lidl (think we didn't manage to buy anything there).

I am getting to be more like an auntie than a tai-tai lor... If I were really a Tai-Tai, I'd be like Yvonne and Sean who play mahjong whenever they are free (which seems rather often)... Now THAT'S a real Tai-tai life! The only mahjong that I ever play these days are with people like Eric Tsang and Jackie Wu - in otherwise computer mahjong.. and even that I seldom play..

Tai-tai? Like Sai!

Happy Birthday, Everyone!

Today is a yearly event worthy of mention. Unlike the Ang Mohs, we Chinese are actually very lucky because we get to celebrate 3 birthdays a year.. although how many people actually do so is another question altogether.

Why do we have 3 birthdays? Here is the the break-down.

Birthday No. 1 = Gregorian Birthdate

Birthday No. 2 = Chinese Lunar Birthday that occurs on the day of the Gregorian birthday based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar

Birthday No. 3 = Everyone's birthday! 7th Day of the Chinese New Year a.k.a. Humans' Day

So in celebration of everyone's birthday, the immigrant citizens of Sugarland have come together at the hallowed Hall of the Lions a.k.a. The Residence of Singaporeans and Assimilated Foreigners for the annual Lo-Hei.

Unfortunately, it seems that radishes don't grow in Sugarland so we had to replace with pears and apples. Note to self: Shred the apples and pears very very very last minute-ly so that they don't change flavour... Carrots and Cucumbers were readily available so no problem there other than the one that begins also with 'C' - Cost!

We also got a new friend who joined us for dinner today from Canada! Overall, dinner was good... I mean, of course it was good, considering the free-flowing Teh Tarik, Bandung, Iced Pu-Er Tea and Alcohol. No no, it wasn't a liquid dinner... we may be a tad broke but we are not THAT broke as to simply be drinking fluids, much as wine here is relatively inexpensive.

So as you can see in the attached picture, today we had a pretty good spread inclusive of a steamboat buffet, Taiwanese Crispy Salty Chicken, Singaporean Dessert Almond Jelly (except that we couldn't find longans, so we had to replace with fruit cocktail since the canned rambutans and canned lycees cost a bomb), Fried Bee Hoon and of course our improvised Yu-Sheng. Not bad lah, here got cheap smoked salmon..

Admittedly, the camera failed to capture all the good stuff and you can only see about maybe half the quantity and quality of the spread that we had. Oh yes, and I almost forgot.. What's CNY without Bak Kua and Pineapple Tarts? Of course we had those lying around too!

Cheers to everyone today in celebration of Humans' Day! Ain't it great to be Chinese?

The one useful skill I've learned in NUS - SPSS

My only regret is that I have never really put my heart and soul into learning SPSS when I had the chance in NUS.

The problem with having fantastic friends like Yun Jia and Amy is that you get them to help when you are lost. So in the end, the SPSS project that I did was through immense help from my gal buddies.

However, I am still glad that I remembered some stuff because then it became very useful in helping the Chubby Hubby with his pre-CNY assignment.

Thanks NUS. I love you!!

I am bored..

So okay, I am starting to have reservations... Maybe, just maybe, being a tai-tai ain't all that fantastic..

Maybe I am also feeling a little down because of the flu bug that has finally bitten me, coupled with dreary rain that comes on and off...

Or just maybe, I miss Singapore's intense heat and therefore the necessity to wear as little as possible..

Sigh... Super sian...

I never thought I'd once again embrace school. Despite the physical exertion to climb up the hill and the numerous staircases (looks like these guys here are not just inefficient, they are also highly technophobic providing lousy internet services and the evident lack of lifts), it was actually quite a joy to be sitting in a tiny lecture hall listening to the incessant droning of the guy in front who thinks that he knows everything...

Of course it helps that the topic being lectured was not particularly unknown to me, thereby allowing me to listen and actually understand what the lecturer was trying to say in that monotone accent of his..

Maybe I should find a job... Or maybe I should just go back to S'pore...

Sigh.... maybe I should just go and get my driving licence...

Sure fire way of arousing your girlfriend

In my previous post, I was emphasising over and over again the importance of having a non-virgin husband.

Now at some point, the man is likely have have been a virgin. So if you are keen on having good sex with proper arousal, the following is a To-Do that pretty much works with many ladies. Found this list in a U-Weekly magazine some weeks back.

STEP 1:
Nibble, lick and tease your gal's fingertips tenderly for about 1 minute.

STEP 2:
Let your kisses travel from her fingers up her arm, to her neck, earlobes, shoulder, chin, lips, forehead, cheeks etc. Jump around with your kissing lips while keeping one comforting hand on her waist or her back for a reassuring presence. Note I said REASSURING, not horny and desperate! Keep this up for about 3 minutes while your kisses having started out progressively getting a bit more feverish and make a smooth progression to STEP 3.

STEP 3:
Very important! Don't jump abruptly from gentle kissing to feverish "I NEED YOU NOW!" type of kissing. Its highly disconcerting and is likely to be a total turn off instead of a turn on. OK, so let your kisses get feverish and let your hands roam all over.. remember not to attack the nipples immediately but instead lick around the nipple's region and plant kisses in the cleavage etc. Let your hands run up and down past the belly, the waist, the hips, down past her legs, here, there and everywhere.

STEP 4:
When your woman is wet enough, you can always be polite and ask, "Would you like me to enter?" Else, if she is moaning away like crazy, feel free to enter... THE RIGHT HOLE!! for heaven's sake...

STEP 5:
Hold your breath and think of other things if you feel that you wanna cum within the 1st 5 to 10 minutes of entry. Control your mind and think of other things other than the job at hand (with your head on the end of your neck, not with the head at the end of your shaft!)

Why a woman should never marry a virgin man

Like I said, my blog is going to be rather explicit at times so if you are afraid of the 3 letter word that begins with S, then please read no further..

Else, you are keen to find out why a woman should never marry a virgin man (thereby also saying the same for why a virgin man shouldn't remain a virgin for long) then read on!

I simply cannot emphasise enough the need for a couple to have a good sex life. Now wait, first and foremost, I am NOT encouraging promiscuity and neither am I encouraging the underaged to engage in statutory rape. If you should engage in sex, again I encourage SAFE SEX... use a condom and don't have sex with anybody who is not your serious boyfriend or your husband! If you have a fling, please don't fling with someone who you have known for less than 6 months and you should STILL use a condom!

Okay, now on with the discussion proper.

I know it sounds awfully silly to many people, but seriously.. if you must sleep with someone, please ensure that at least one of you knows what to do and which hole to poke.

I mean seriously! I've always thought that sex as a whole was a very obvious thing. You get a male organ and it goes into the female organ with ample arousal prior to the insertion to create lubrication and minimise pain while maximising pleasure.

Unfortunately, not everyone knows the importance of foreplay and then there are some guys who don't even know that they have to get hard enough before insertion and thereby cause pain to themselves and/or their partners by either forcing their way in, or because they are in the wrong hole.

One of my girl friends who recently got married told me that sex everyday was a sure killer. I later realised she meant that the PAIN was a killer, and not the physical exertion! I was like, why are you in pain?! And her reply was that the position was uncomfortable amongst other reasons. And she also said she found sex boring. Believe it or not, her hubby was so "blur" that he couldn't find the right hole!

Obviously the word "orgasm" holds no meaning for this gal pal of mine. In my personal opinion, it's simply because both parties were virgins and had absolutely no idea what to do or how to go about doing it, therefore ending up with pain, discomfort coupled with the fact that there was ample nervousness thrown into the entire experience.

Many of my girl friends simply cannot understand why I insist that my husband must be a non-virgin before he starts dating me.

My logic is simple. If he's a virgin, he has had no prior experience other than Miss Right Hand and is therefore likely to want to satisfy himself first. Then in such an event, he is going to ejaculate really really quickly and then we women will be left with feeling disgustled and unhappy. Sooner or later, sex will become a chore and a mere tool for procreation. Because of sex, quarrels and dissatisfaction is likely to result which will then put a strain on the relationship leading to perhaps adultery and infidelity since there becomes no satisfaction and is therefore nothing to look forward to.

Fantastic sex on the other hand, is helpful to the relationship because the physical intimacy and the thought of having a part of the one you love inside you or surrounding you (depending on whether you are male or female) pulls a couple closer together. Memories of multiple screaming orgasms, of being soaking wet, or tenderly moist, or incredibly horny and hard are things are that unreplacable and form the basis or platforms for additional fun ideas to explore.

And so, if your hubby or boyfriend is the type that doesn't watch pornography, then chances are, he will not learn the various techniques that can be found there, and also cannot learn how to control his breathing to stem his ejacultation and to prolong his pleasure. Likewise, he would probably not know any other position other the one that is the most natural - the missionary. Ideas such as 69, doggy or reverse cowgirl would perhaps be to "disgusting" or "disturbing" and therefore be dismissed as bearing too much resemblance to sex with a whore.

The common belief that the actors in porn films being able to last so long is being due to medication is a fallacy. It is absolutely possible that a guy can gear himself not to cum if he doesn't want to, through mind control.

So... if you want sex-tifying sex, please don't marry a virgin.

That said, I agree that people definitely do start out as virgins at some point in their life. So, therefore, be sure that at least one of you is NOT a virgin so as to do the initation proper before the marriage begins...

Trouble, trouble, boils then doubles!!!

I'm sorry to say folks, that my trip really didn't start out as well as I expected..

Things were like well... moderately OK until the point when we got on the plane for the 2nd leg of the journey.

Firstly, the air stewardess skipped me for my lunch.. so the back row and the front row that surrounded me were all enjoying their meals while I was like wondering, what the hell happened to my lunch.. After serving me, the stewardess started to quibble amongst themselves trying to find someone to blame for not serving me... E airlines service standards is starting to fall it seems...

And then... when I was changing out of my glasses into my contact lenses, somehow the keys to the lock on my luggage got misplaced... and I didn't realise until I was asked to open my suitcase..

At the airport upon landing, I was expecting the aerobridge, but instead I got the open ladder instead.. haha... and worse.. I didn't have my coat or boots or hat on me.. The other people kept looking at me like I was some Superwoman.. haha!!

So after walking the 50 metres in a bareback top and sandals to the hall in an outside temperature of 7 degrees celsius, I finally got to the immigration.

As usual, the immigraton offiicers asked the usual stupid questions like: "What are you doing here?", 'Why do you come here so many times in a short span in time?", "How much money did you bring?", 'Where are you staying? Is it far from Location A or B?"

Total time wasters, except the problem was, the lady felt that my answers were not FORTHCOMING enough, damned woman.. so I got detained for about an hour...

And there's where I realised that i had lost the key to my luggage when she asked to see what was inside... So after much ding dong, the lady decided that I was really just on holiday as I have been trying to tell her for the last hour, and let me go...

When I finally got back to my home here in Sugarland, Larry and Nickie had a hard time trying to hack the lock apart.. but in the end, a tiny hair clip saved the day! Three cheers for the local lock picker Nickie..!

Well... if trouble boils around enough, its gonna spill and get less...

I've always believed in the "Up and Down" law... you know? the one that says, 'What goes up must come down?"

So similarly, I think my troubles have peaked, so its time for things to get better...

Hurrah! Though funnily, I'm starting to miss Singapore somewhat... sigh...

At least in S'pore you don;t get treated like some criminal by the immigration officers... else sure tio complains one...

Just trying out my new blog

Hello!

I am still trying my best to get a hang of this interface.. somehow or the other it seems that my blog doesn't particularly like me so I am trying hard to get stuff on to see if everything works.

Today is the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year 2007 so here I am attempting the "Out with the old and in with the new" idealogy which is why I am setting up this blog.

Essentially, this blog is going to be a little about me and a lot about events that are well.. kinda taboo in society but which are in fact very real to us.

Read my blog as a commentary of sorts if you like, else you can just take this as a general education kind of blog.

I cannot promise you that this blog will provide you much entertainment but it will definitely give you INFORMATION about well.. certain facts of life seasoned with a good dash or two of my personal opinions.

Indirectly, it will probably give you a little insight into why I am a fairly warped person by nature.
