"I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry." - Randall Jarrell

Someone: uae model sounds good

immigrant workers toil
locals enjoy windfall and get fat

Me: whereas here... HAHAHAHAHAH


Someone else: i put on maeup in e bus

Someone else: you form a club?

Me: haha

Someone else: wah

Me: eh

that's quite weird

Someone else: when u are desperate and deprived of time anything is possible

Me: ...

Someone else: what bout club of girls who wear flats to work?

Me: specs is not that uncommon

I wonder which is more

Someone else: hey my flats are nice OK!

Me: I'm inferring from what you say mah

maybe it's just good concealer

Someone else: ...
speechless

Me: =D

you ask for it one
HAHA

Someone else: wah lah... ***!!!
where ARE YOU!!!


HWMNBN: that's why i like working women, they have a much more mature outlook

Me: eh what does this have to do with being mature
don't be stupid

HWMNBN: mature women accept realistic standards of male behaviour
ie. the male will cheat, but he better be smart enough nto to get caught
otherwise he has to deal with it

immature women will be : "NO HE MUST LOVE ME ALWAYS AND NEVER CHEAT NO MATTER WHAT"

i'm sure most immature women will agree that it's not right ofr a guy to cheat even if he doesn't get caught

what this friend is saying: "it's fair game if he doesn't get caught."

Me: ...

that's like saying immature men refuse to pay for their women
or refuse to carry their handbags
or play their games, suffer their tantrums etc

HWMNBN: no. mature men accept that these are stupid, unrealistic, unreasonable expectations women have of men

a mature woman accepts that realistically, a man will be tempted to stray, and that it oculd happen
and that she won't fuss about it, but he better be prepared to accept the consequences of getting caught

as opposed to an immature woman who will unrelaistically expect her man to be a paragon of virtue
AND carry her handbag,s, play her games, suffer her tantrums

Me: ...

HWMNBN: well equality of treatment cuts both ways

if the man expects to be allowed to behave like a man (ie. cheat and sleep with other women)
he should expect the consequences of getting caught

and there's also something to be said for it being self-selecting

ie. a bf smart enough to not get caught and juggle his cheating responsibly
is probably a good bf in the long run

Me: I guess this is why women turn lesbian


Me: your uni sounds like a really hostile place

Someone: it's a busienss school


Someone: i ate mcpork at osaka airport

tried the McRib too
and Ebi fillet. wah the mac's in japan is nice!
and McPork is small but satisfying. definitely tasty haha

Me: woo hoo

Someone: ebi fillet very nice. is actual prawns in a patty

man. why must macs here be halal
it just ruins everything

Me: yeah man
another reason to get out :P

Someone: you're right, hokkaido is beautiful! and the food awesome. i want to go back

Me: hmm autumn is weird time

food.. pfft tour food sucks
the food I had on my tour was mediocre
though it looked good

Someone: you must go with Prime tours

each meal est 3000-5000 yen
dinner at least

eat until can die

the restaurants we ended up in had hardly any tourists

there was on night of fine dining... siao. another night we had free flow beef shabu shabu. siao

Me: prime tours website has no chinese version
interesting

they specialise in japan ah
[Ed: They are in Hong Leong building too]

Someone: yeah, they cater to english speaking crowd.

Me: OH NO WONDER IT'S KUALITI

Someone: yeah, the person who sold me the tour is japanese. ahaha

Me: but you probably pay more right

Someone: yeah, for that 7 days the package is 3.5k
but srsly. pay more, service awesome, group is tiny, food is good.

group was only 14 people

*** went to japan with them [Prime] once
she raved about them then. later went her second time with chan brothers and hated it
then did her research for this trip.

actually when you add tips and shit taxes to the other tours from other agencies, it is almost as expensive, maybe shy of 1 or 2 hundred

not to mention really good service..

they are quite frank about their packages la. i spoke to the leader in private, and she said quite clearly their target group is a certain type. and they always want the english speaking group. dont ask me why this seems so important
but that really did make it more pleasant. at least everyone got along well.

*** was saying when she went with chan brothers, there were many people who were like "yeee raw fish again"
then proceed to cook their sashimi.

HWMNBN: wah lao i need to pick up chicks as eaisly as daniel craig does
(at the scene where the girl he calls for the first time tells him to meet at a hotel in 1 hr)

and at the same time i need to run a highly illegal but profitable drug wholesale bsiness. *pauses* without the complication of being forced into doing impossible favours and running afoul of serbian hitmen

Me: it's a MOVIE

look
I'll hire a chio girl as an actress and shoot a scene where I pick her up

then you can say
"wah lao i need to pick up chicks as eaisly as gabriel does"

HWMNBN: *scowls* clearly you don't understand the power of dreams.
(and yes, i know only idiots chase them)

HAHAHAHHAHA seriously?
it might be worth bankrolling for a laugh

Me: if you bankroll I'll act

HWMNBN: well. i get entertained, zishuang's ppl get to shoot an entertaining short, you get to have some (fictional) action with someone chio. this might be a win-win-win situation
let me make some calls


Me: how much would it cost

Putative director: assuming we don't have to pay the actress?

probably close to nothing actually
maybe whatever drinks we have at a bar or something

Me: you want to get the girl drunk?
haha

Putative director: can't go to a bar without buying anything
we could do it at a coffee shop as well

can u get a chick ?

Me: how chio
HAHA

Putative director: would sienna miller level chio be too much of a task ?

Me: err
I need someone with good makeup skills


HWMNBN: what are we going to do once we have the clip of you picking up a chick?

Me: put it online? :)

HWMNBN: let's all laugh evilly together

MWAHAHAHAHHHAA
WHAHHAHAHAHAHA EVIL CAPTAIN SHERIDAN

Me: hic
