ShroCat, you heard of the famous chinese tale where a legendary chinese beauty cried and all the men held their breath because she was so pretty? And this poor ugly girl thought she had learnt the secret of seduction so she weeped as well, thinking the men will also admire her, but they couldn't run away fast enough!
Well, if a pretty girl gets dirty and greasy and stinky, the men will still feel hot and bothered over her. BUT, if someone like me does that, I think within a mile-radius, you'd think all men had disappeared because of alien abduction or something!

Guys who can cook might not really appreciate my cooking and I find that most of the time, they'll end up like competing with you for airtime on who can cook better or whatever.
Like you try telling them, "Honey, I cooked this for you!" expecting him to say thanks and kiss you but he goes, "Eh... think you got the wrong recipe leh! Next time, you add ... " Sianz... any mood for love-making, all gone liao!
Not true! MPB cooks but he still appreciates my cooking and prefer that I cook most of the time too !!!He just cooks occassionaly to surprise me or when I'm too lazy to cook for a potluck like for my CNY reunion dinner where he will be preparing Bear's Braised Duck

that's funny!anyways, among the folks in my group, usually one partner does the cooking. i hardly ever hear of husband/wife at the kitchen cooking. i am beginning to think what they showed us on teebee si pian lang eh. end up quarrelling de wu.

heee no la.. u just need to meet someone who appreciates :) and is able to see beneath the mess
i'm sure u know that what men feels is 'beauty' is very different from what women feel.But it goes both ways. usually someone who does not put .. ahh looks/grooming as top priority, also won't be too finicky about his own dressing. I put up with my hubby's love for holey t-shirts that he refuse to throw away, and he puts up with my messy hair and unimaginative wardrobe.

littlestream, you know how sometimes, we want a bit of sayang, so we put in a bit of effort, then sa jiao a little bit, hoping the man will appreciate our efforts, right? Well, usually if the man cooks well, he might not stop to think that you cooked for him out of love but rather, if he's the dumb blonde sort, he'll start criticising the way you cooked it, the taste, what to add to improve the texture, etc etc etc... and miss the whole point altogether, which is, you darned idiot, I went to all that effort to cook this JUST FOR YOU! You geddit?! Why? Because I love you!! I'm not enrolled in some culinary school so I don't care if the goose backside is too burnt or the steak is too well-done. Just say, thank you, you love me very very much, I cook well, then the lights shall dim for you, and you shall get what all men desire.

Sometimes, after work, instant noodles with extra stuff thrown in like vegetables, fishballs, etc, can be delicious too!
Plain instant maggie noodles with dark soy sauce reminds me of my mom. Simple but nice and that was the breakfast she sometimes cooked for me when I had to rush to catch my school bus to primary school.

I'm babbling a bit tonight. 
Say, I just said something in an MSN chat that I think is quite genius leh!
I told a friend that "The way a man treats his enemies is a reflection of his true character and nature."Quite insightful, hor?
