For all the 30's singles...Why are you not married yet?
-
if i say something in here now, it's gonna be rude so i'll keep quiet
not anyone but irritating pesky interfering relations...
whom i will start being rude to soon
-
Aiyoh, not so noble.....I think highly of those in your industry. I've got three friends in it and all three are winding down to part time jobs lah, missionary work and travels. Ahh....such bliss but they earned it.Originally posted by Rhonda:I'm still off today! Yippeeeeee!!!
I'll be returning to work tomorrow on Evening duty. And yes, I find that from 3:30am right up till about 6:30am, it's sometimes so darn hard to stay awake. Most of the time, I'm ok but well, sometimes, it happens. 
And which industry were you in that required rotating shifts? Same as mine?
Me? At that time, S'pore was primarily a manufacturing industry so my dad insisted that I venture into technical courses. So I ended up in a Plastic Molding shop for a reputable MNC. But really not me lah. Everyday wear the overall, climb up and down machines....where got boyfriend??? hee hee.......... -
Hello Bear. How are you?Originally posted by the Bear:if i say something in here now, it's gonna be rude so i'll keep quiet

What happened? -
Awww....so sweet but choc is a common commodity of exchange over here mah. The chocs are molded in relation to the theme, like hearts, or some cartoon characters with hearts.....anyways, quite a big thing here. In fact, most occasion holidays, the stores will carry many of these theme goodies.Originally posted by EricDraven:Flowers and chocolates? Sheesh, I wouldn't have thought of that!
If I have my own place and she's coming over, I would probably whip up a meal (I don't really know how to cook but I will try), get a little gift (something she has always wanted) and have a romantic candlelight dinner!
Rest of the night would be spent bumming around, drinking, watching the telly, basking in each other's company... Ahhh, such bliss!
I wouldn't have bought chocolates 'cos they are really too heaty and fattening!
Flowers... probably... maybe... yes.
I guess I would have failed the lady's scoresheet on the account of the chocolates... Hope I make sense. I am getting hungry, so mind not thinking. Perhaps I should go for lunch now. Talk to you later. Cheers.

well, relatives who insist on being pesky by taking it upon themselves to matchmake
when i told her NO already..
and they expect me to drop ALL my plans to please them?
not a chanceOriginally posted by littlestream:Hello Bear. How are you?
What happened? -
Oh like that ah? Yah lah....family obligations like that want nah. That's why sometimes I really missed home and family members but then I think, aiyoh, afterwards they take me for "long kang" and pour all the dos and don'ts down my throat ley. I am the youngest lah.Originally posted by the Bear:well, relatives who insist on being pesky by taking it upon themselves to matchmake

not a chance
But they keep forgetting that I am already 45!!! Still treat me as "cha boh gin nah".
Meanwhile, cheer up -
well, she can come all the way from Muar, she can make all the plans she wants, she can do all the whatever.. but she's not getting me anywhere near the place...
rule no.1: NEVER EVER take anyone for granted...
rule no.2: if you do not know, ask... and then look at rule no.1 again!
she's going to get a shock of her life when this nice nice bear growls at her

Not the end of the world......'cos single got pros and cons, married got pros and cons. Just live well day to day lor.Originally posted by margarita:if so simple then won't have so many people single already lah .. n many remain single all their life ..
In fact, when you get to my age, in fact it is happening to me. I turn left, one friend has thyroid cancer, turn right, another has colon cancer. Look infront, one has diabetes/high chol/high blood. Look behind, one has heart problems. So, really got to "kua puah".
But with your nick, you go pubbing one right? So, circle of friends very very wide ley. Standard high is it? Got 70% of your ideals good enough already lah. In fact, someone said, we don't marry the person, we marry the impression we have of that person.
Anyways, "ban ban lai". If it happens, great, if not, just live well lor. I see the aunties and uncles at the market. Many also "satu orang" 'cos their partners called to be with the Lord mah.
Cheer up hor -
i'm lucky i guess..Originally posted by Rhonda:Sometimes, we think that a certain type of person would suit us but we might be mistaken and thus end up barking up the wrong tree for ages, all the while, passing by the trees that could be easily climbed. -

Anyway, when am i getting an invitation ah, Uncle Shinta?

It's not about flowers and chocolates per se. It's about doing something out of the ordinary to mark an occassion.Originally posted by EricDraven:Flowers and chocolates? Sheesh, I wouldn't have thought of that!
