If You Wanna Get with Me

I was inspired to write this post because I am at a point in life where it is a little more exciting in the love front. I do not believe in feng shui, but in feng shui, when one has the peach blossom love luck (literally translated from the Chinese phrase), one will become very attractive and popular, that could lead to many dating activities, jazzing up friendship and inviting desired proposals.

Why I chose the title of this entry, which is inspired by the song, "Wannabe" by the once-very popular Spice Girls, is because of my immediate train of thought following that verse.

If you are the "you" in the verse "If you wanna get with me", then read on carefully because I will not likely veer off these criteria that I have spent many agonizing hours thinking about.

i) Love God: This is non-negotiable. It will break my heart to be with someone who cannot feel the love of our Abba Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I am not asking for a super "siao on" Christian boy because I am not a super "siao on" Christian girl :).

ii) Be generous: With money and more importantly with the HEART! I do not care if you think I am being materialistic or superficial but I firmly believe I cannot be with someone who is calculative and stingy. I love my family and friends and I often buy random things that I think would make their days.

On this note, guys, listen up. Regardless whether you are looking to date me, please try to pay for the date. At least attempt to put up a fight if the girl tries to pay.

iii) Good communicator: You must be able to speak proper English with right pronounciation. You don't have to speak proper English all the time but the ability to do so is important.

iv) Make me laugh: I have been told I am a rather serious girl. I think too much and too often that sometimes all I need is someone to give me a different (lighter side of things) perspective and make me laugh.

v) Have ambition: I think that a man with drive is rather sexy. Having an ambition also gives me the impression that you can plan and lead your own way.

iv) Enjoy fine food and wine: I live to eat! I would love to do more entertaining in future and the plan for my future home is to include a spacious open kitchen decked out in stainless steel and cool kitchen knifes and a pink Kitchen Aid.

By the way, I don't eat meat and no intention of changing my position in the foreseeable future.

There you have it. All laid out.

DIY Necklaces

Got inspired to make necklaces and over the weekend, I went to some random bead store in Chinatown to buy some material to get started.

That will be my project and stay tuned!

Clubbing

I cannot believe I will live to say that I actually enjoy clubbing!
This week has been the most happening week of my life and I went clubbing on three occasions:

Mambo on Wednesday
Stereolab on Friday
St. James on Saturday

Mambo is fun although the crowd is young, but hey, synchronised dancing bonds everyone together.

Stereolab is the hottest and most happening club in town at the moment. I like that the crowd is slightly older and thus more sophisticated and refined. House music on Friday is not my preference though but I heard the Wednesday R&B is good and I shall be checking that out hopefully when I can get the following Thursday morning off.

St. James is a nightmare. The crowd was not my type, the dance floors non existent, the digital screens very out of place and very "off" and the entertainers were just plain awful and some are very low class. Not coming back again.

Memories of F1 2009

In chronological order:

1. Being in the Paddock Club ($8,000 per 3-day pass!) for the first time.
Mostly beautiful people; no end to eye candies.

2. Being in the Temasek Suite no less.
It was an eye-opener, in a big room with essentially all the big shots from government. But honestly, it was no fun -- everyone on the working level was on their toes and cannot relax at all.

3. Pitlane walk
What is the big deal? It was a human jam and the heat and humidity resulted exchange of bodily fluid. Gross. Maybe I would change my position if I had sighted Button or Raikkonen.

4. Mistakened as a mom by a client.
Depressing! Do I look matronly??

5. Nothing a good glass of champagne can't fix though.
Better yet, endless glasses of champagne.

6. Meeting Nobu for the first time.
Luckily I had my camera with me but the phototaker sucked big time.
The pictures barely came out right.

7. Met an New Yorker / ABC who was quite charming.
Emailed him and we will see how it goes.

8. Loud zoom zooms.

9. Learning how to be a bodyguard
I didn't know Mr. Tatan is a celebrity! A couple Indian nationals stopped us in our tracks ,wanting to take pictures with him. I had to decline politely so we could continue.

9. Food
Savories were so-so. Desserts were lacking, save for the yummy comte cheese.

Ignorance is Bliss

Have you found a small clue that could lead to all possibilities?
And you know that your risk of being hurt, or shocked is almost 100%?

Have you ever been in the situation where your heart just wants to go all out to find out about something or somebody? (In this instance, it is beyond just being a 'kaypoh' but you truely want to go all the way to find out.)
And it is because you do really care deeply about the other party.

I am saddened.

Addiction

I cannot believe I got addicted to Restaurant City on Facebook. That thing is evil!!!

I knew I had to do something when I was out for lessons today and all I wanted to do is to log on and keep my restaurant going.

No more no more!

Assertive and Confident

Today, I suddenly find myself tossed into a tussel, just because the facts are misrepresented. Thinking that I would try to be nice and mitigate on both ends so that the matter could be forgotten quickly, I find myself into a deeper and deeper black hole.

Good thing the assertive course I am currently going through right now came in handy.
Is it my problem to resolve in the first place? No.
Is it my right to do not take sides? Damn right it is.

Because I love God, I know He will protect me.
