Night Owls Chatterboxes - Part 10

In Singapore, I can and I have... because if anything goes wrong, can always ask my bro / male friends / male colleagues for assistance.Originally posted by littlestream:Make it x 2 or x a thousand times.
My friend said if she her hubby leaves her (in whatever way), she must find another man. She can't imagine living in Canada without one!
Like, when my bathroom bulb blew, I didn't know what to do because I have only changed the fluorescent bulbs that were rods, or were rings, not a bulb per se. I didn't know about the pushing it in and screwing it around bit.
(Pai seh... sounds quite... suggestive!! 
)
I had to ask TX and Ged for help. They told me about the screwing mechanism.
And voila! Bulb changed!
It just needed one good screw! -
my colleague used it in the office.. his wife gave it to him

Times like that, you kinda realise it's useful to have a man in the house! -
No, you are not. I was tempted to say your point 1 but I have learnt that if i have nothing good to say, don't say.Originally posted by the Bear:2 points:
point 1... pigs don't sweat.. that's why they roll around in mud.. to keep cool
and point 2... if spicy beef wasn't spicy, it'll be called "unspicy beef"
damn.. i'm going nuts -

Got Geddy and spidee or who else in Melbourne? Don't worry. Maybe soon enough, there will be a hunk wrapped around you ley? Remember to post pic ah, by then.Originally posted by Rhonda:Yeah, agreed! Overseas, harder to live without a man in the house!

you'll just have to learn to perform more DIY ? ....Originally posted by Rhonda:Yeah, agreed! Overseas, harder to live without a man in the house!

but seriously ... you'd really have to .... asking someone to come in and fix stuff everytime something gives will be very expensive ..... -
I heard the neighbours there are more friendly den in SG..Originally posted by Rhonda:Yeah, agreed! Overseas, harder to live without a man in the house!

i've already anticipated that ! ... so i'm wisely avoiding all the dried chili pieces ...Originally posted by the Bear:szechuan style...

Actually, now that I'm moving over to Melbourne, I keep praying that somehow, at the 11th hour, I'll find that special someone, so that we can move there together and at least, there'll be someone to watch over me, and I can have someone to take care of, and we can build a new life together.
It's gonna be tough though. The guy would probably find difficulties in getting a decent job over there. I wouldn't mind, because I think we'd be able to survive on my salary. It'll be tight, but we'll not go hungry. But then, there's the thing about the male ego.
Hopefully, can find a guy who won't mind taking on jobs like, say, being a cashier at the bookstore or something like that in the meantime. Humility and adaptability are great assets, and it makes a man all the more alluring.
But then again, maybe, my special someone's already in Melbourne!

It's actually the chilli seeds you have to avoid, because therein lies the fire! -

AAAAaaaaaaahhhhh.... I'm ever so hopeful!! Finally, some dude sees through my tough, independant, confident act, and realises I'm really a damsel-in-distress, comes into my house, and fixes stuff for me!Originally posted by littlestream:Got Geddy and spidee or who else in Melbourne?

i'm thinking of going over to ontario to visit a friend at UT missisauga this winter break ... maybe i can bring a bottle of mine over ... -
OK, my Leonard has to love animals, especially cats! I'm going to have cats in the house, so he'd better love 'em!
This Leonard also has to love food!
And erm... since there's no more Lau around to be my Chief Tucker, Leonard would also have to assume the role of Chief Tucker, and in winter, double-up as bed-warmer too! ROTFLMAO!!!
Leonard also has to be Mr Chauffeur and Mr Fix-It!
And oh, did I mention that this job comes with 'special privileges' and all manner of perks? -
Wah!!Originally posted by littlestream:Yeah, there is labour charge, then parts and then TIPS!!! -
