Underdog

Seriously, I don’t know what made me watch this show, but then I needed a good laugh after a strenuous and yet happening weekend. So I started of double-clicking on this show and watching it.

The Plot is simple -  After an accident in the mysterious lab of maniacal scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage), an ordinary beagle unexpectedly finds himself endowed with unimaginable powers and the ability to speak. Armed with a fetching superhero costume, Underdog (voiced by Jason Lee) vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capitol City and, in particular, one beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebred (voiced by Amy Adams). When a sinister plot by Barsinister and his overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threatens to destroy Capitol City, only Underdog can save the day.

What a plot huh. I guess those who have watched the cartoon like centuries ago from Hannah Barbara (I think so) will know about this super hero canine. I’m not a big fan of dogs, but seriously, this show do pack some punch on the effects. Well, the last time I saw a canine talk in the big screen was Cats & Dogs. But so to speak, Underdog is easy on the kids and definitely quite fun for the family as well. At least the movie’s nicely paced and it makes you want to imagine how dogs can really be like Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Lol. The dog is really something that a man should look forward to I believe.

Well, just to sum it all up, it will be something to look forward to, although it’s way past the release date in the cinemas, but nonetheless – it’s simple entertainment for the family and kids definitely. =)

Bistro Delifrance

Filed under: Restaurant Reviews, food, interest, money, singapore, western, whatever — egomarc @ 11:02 pm

Not really a fan of Delifrance, I chanced upon the restaurant at Novena Square. Maybe it’s because that the presentation of the menu was really looking very appeasing, so I decided to dine in.

Alright, so I was with Gilbert and David and we ordered our seperate dishes. I ordered the all so tempting Seafood Baked Rice and David ordered some pizza that reminds us of a Chicken Supreme from Pizza Hut. Last but not least, Gilbert ordered a beef bolognase I think. Well, he was fine with the portion of pasta just that he thinks that there’s too much sauce for him. LOL.

David’s pizza was good, as I feel that his pizza wasn’t that commercialised but really fantastic stuff. Perhaps food that taste so nice but eventually doesn’t taste good because there’s reviewers like me who tell people it’s so nice. Lol. But my seafood baked rice wasn’t that bad either. It has really fresh prawns with a decent portion and a good mix of red and green capsicums. When I thought that the mussles will taste great, Perhaps I think their mussels were a little overcooked, but it doesn’t spoil the dish anyway. Haha.

There’s a free flow of small baguettes, and I mean normal french loaves with SCS butter. Haha. We had like 2 to 3 baskets of them. A bit exaggerating, but its free by the way. And we ordered the real baguettes, as in their garlic bread. It was a real good taste with good value. But still couldn’t compare to Pasta Fresca’s.

In overall, the concept is really simple and neat, with comfy chairs to go with. To top it all, good service is what I’m looking for and I believe they passed the test, just that they are little jittery when attending to David. Perhaps he looks ang moh that’s all. =)

Back in Business

Filed under: Just Updates, colour, interest, life, mood, reflections, shadow, singapore, town, whatever — egomarc @ 5:21 pm

Lol. Well, I just had a weekend hangover at the Conrad Centennial Hotel. Stayed there overnight along with a crazy bunch of friends playing Uno, Poker games, and definitely Pictionary. Kinda fun to play this kind of games once in a while. And definitely forfeits that really looked like Edison Chen pictures eventually. LOL.

Sometimes I believe that after all the stress and worries that life has given you, one should just sit down and plan a relaxing holiday somewhere. Somewhere that one can have fun and as well as just putting your feet on the ground, doing nothing. It will be a splendid time spent. And of course, not to mention the free breakfast and also some Spa treatment.

The Conrad stay was all too fantastic, as lady luck has fallen on my side, giving me the best room on the 22nd storey, with a breathtaking view of the city, as well as the direction of the sea and the Singapore Flyer. Then when we took the ride on the Singapore Flyer, literally flying that high was enough to make some of us giddy. But yea, such a wonderful and great chances are really hard to come by. We were like mad tourist taking photos in the cabin. Stupidly fun I guess. Haha. Well, at night was where the fun settles in, as the cumulonimbus clouds overlaps the sunset beyond the horizon, we had no choice but to take the Flyer at night. Maybe because Geok Leng is a curse to sunrises and sunsets (LOL.), but nonetheless, the night view was panoramic. A beauty that beholds the growth of our city.

But nothing beats sitting at home, blogging, and lying on my favourite bed. I’m still feeling a little zombish now actually. Thanks to the endless fun and games, plus the fact that freezing on a couch isn’t such a good idea.  Don’t worry, I promise everyone that tomorrow’s post will be interesting. =)

Gotta get some rest again, for we all love to see cirrus clouds back in the horizon once more. Oh, and my N95 is sold. Thank you all for inquiring if there’s any. =)

Probably by now, you should have seen this as a 4D number that you wish to buy. Isn’t a beauty? Anyway, that number above represents the number of visitors that visit my blog since the day I started using WordPress. Quite a big digit for someone like me whom is just keeping a low profile here. Lol.

People, I don’t usually advertise on my blog, but this is what I’m gonna do.

I’m selling a Nokia N95 handphone.
- 3 months old
- Condition 10/10
- Warranty still valid
- Comes with the necessary items (Charger, USB Cable, Video Cable, Earpiece, Installation CD)
- Internal memory of 64MB, but giving away a 1GB memory card
- Price at $500 and negotiable.

So what are you waiting for? Anyway, I only have 2 phones here that I’m selling. So far a friend of mine is interested, so please make your notice to me. Only for Singaporean customers only. I don’t do exporting and mailing or whatsoever ways that I can get it across the straits or the world.

Alright. End of ad. End of blog. Time for bed. Going to have fun tomorrow. Will not blog tomorrow. See you on Sunday. =)

Ajitei

Filed under: Restaurant Reviews, food, interest, japanese, singapore, town — egomarc @ 7:45 pm

Well, this place caught my attention because of it’s dark concept from the outside. So I manage to have a meal today with my girl, where it is located at Parco Bugis Junction. If only I had known earlier that this was from Ajisen, then I wouldn’t have ate at this place. Somehow, I’m always against Ajisen because their ramen just taste like cup noodles.

Well, so I didn’t eat the noodles but I ordered something else. For today, I ordered pork wrap with asparagus, salmon sashimi, fried tofu, and a curry cutlet set whereas my girl ordered some noodle with a grilled patty of mixed potato and chicken. Well, I believe all these dishes here that I have ordered are somewhat to cravings today but then it has also gave me the alertness to be prepared for disappointment. Anyway, before commenting on the food, I would say that their service is warm and friendly. =).

Now back to the food. The sashimi was fresh definitely, and the portion of rice and cutlet that they serve for the curry cutlet rice set was just humongous, I still feel full from the lunch right now when I’m suppose to have my dinner soon. The pork wrap with asparagus was cool, just that the sauce was a tad salty. The fried tofu wasn’t that amazing because it’s not that hot in the inside. My girl felt the wrath of the not so great ramen that they have. But the patty that they have would definitely be a hit to the kids. Chewable and tasty, the sauce just mixes well with it though. Haha. I would say that if you have to be at Ajitei, do try the dessert as they have loads of desserts at their disposal. And they look all too sumptuous. I didn’t have mine because I was too full from all the food I had from brunch.

Overall, I would say that this would be a one off experience, not because I have eaten Sushi Tei too many times, but I think for this restaurant, their menu must improve. It looks rather shabby. Like a hawker centre menu, which doesn’t really help when you enter into a restaurant witha decent ambience. Again, I wouldn’t wish to go back here, just hoping that no one calls me to enter this place just because they have to celebrate their birthday there.

Chinese Birthday?

Filed under: Just Updates, chijmes, church, interest, life, mood, rant, shadow, singapore, town, whatever — egomarc @ 7:35 pm

Apparently, I do not really bother about my chinese birthday until my mum always mentions to me on the day itself. Like today. She will go “you gotta eat that bowl of mee sua and that red egg for your chinese birthday today”. And this nagging will continue for a few more minutes before she will officially leave me alone with that bowl of noodles.

The thought of my birthday just makes me feel bored. Why? It’s also one of the times where I have to spend money. Sometimes I don’t wish to spend money on my birthday but somehow that is technically impossible. I admit, I like presents, but my past presents have been red packets, which I think it will make me want to save the money instead of spend. I know it would be fantastic to save money, but I wish I can have something that I want or need so much and have it for free. Oh well, it’s like a lifetime desire. My gifts normally comes from my girl only.

But sometimes, I must understand that all my friends ain’t Paris Hiltons or Nicole Richies. And I must accept the fact that I’m happy with what I have. Hopefully my life will turn into something better in the future. Please let there be more cash flow. =)

The Colour of Life

Filed under: Just Updates, colour, life, mood, rant, singapore, whatever — egomarc @ 12:49 am

Now? I guess it’s just a mixed of black, white, grey. But I do wish to see colours in my life. Not that I’m vision impaired, but it’s just that I’m not working, having fun slacking and out with my girl and friends, it just doesn’t really bother me at the moment that I’m lacking money. And I do really need some holiday to let me feel happy for a while before I get back to the freaking workforce that pays us so little and increasing every amount of payments that we can make.

To me, anything that has colour is colourful. Maybe it’s because that I’m not very fussy about anything in life but I feel rather happy go lucky all the time. That won’t help if I dwell on it in the near future. But when I have no money getting in my pockets, I feel that the output is rather fast and constant. Yes, you would think that it’s me that I’m making myself spend money because I’m going out all the time. If that’s the case, then find something for me to do at home. Work from home? I think it’s a scam.

Actually, now in life, there’s colours everywhere, with a shade of grey behind everything. It’s like a silhouette, except that with the base filled with colours and the outline in grey. There are many ways that we can really depict and explain life. How and what we mention about it is as unique as it can get. The norm will be “normal, bored, fine”. But the exceptional will be like “fantastic, sombre, monotonous”. I’m not saying that I’m sombre now, but it’s between sombre and fantastic. Nothing really makes me happy at the moment. There are many things that are happening next month, which I didn’t really want to bother. Don’t ask why. It’s another life that I must drag across.

On the other side of my brain, Hope is actually dragging me out of the bottomless pit of misery. Telling me that there’s got to be more than just what you see in life. Like beyond the sand dunes in the desert lies more than just an oasis. Like beyond the ocean waters lies more than just an island. Like beyond the thunderstorm clouds lies more than just the Sun. And I did explore in life, finding out that it’s quite a daunting task. But that was when I was younger, when inexperience was they key to all failures. But now, I stand firm and different from before. Because, you will only have colours in your life if you put the colours into you own life by your own hands. In other words, you are what you live. So improve it, or don’t complain. =)

Vantage Point

Filed under: Reviews of Movies, action, interest, motion, whatever — egomarc @ 9:41 pm

505660vantage-point-posters.jpg

Why I was eager to watch this show is because the way the trailer presented itself just tells me that we Singaporeans have been missing movies that falls under the “action-in-real-life” genre. It also highlights and brings notice to the world about terrorism as well.

But of course, it’s the way the synopsis explains itself that might have caught my attention. Here’s the plot – Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker), an American tourist video taping the event to show his kids. There is also Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. We follow each person’s perspective of the same 15 minutes before and immediately after the shooting to get to the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt.

That phrase “each-person’s perspective” was literally reenacted on the movie itself. And I repeatedly viewed 6 times. Yes, 6 holy times, from different people’s point of view. Luckily, it has a different camera view, except for the explosion part, which was obviously the same screen view that was repeated 6 times. But after that 6 times, thing started to become more tense, keeping you on that damn seat so hard that your bladder wants you to go to the toilet but you simply can’t because it’s so quick and intense, right from the start to the finish. No breathers in between really. Which is something that I would like to watch personally. But it is the conclusion that I’m dying to know, which was revealed in a great “action-y” way.

The acting for the roles were excellent. Very well executed. And I’m particularly impressed with Dennis Quiad’s role as the loyal bodyguard to the President. He was awesome all the time. Great stuff. And the way the movie was being put together after the 6 repeated views was rather interesting as you don’t find movies that does jigsaw puzzle stories. Although it looked a little like “Cloverfield”, but it’s not as bad as a video cam movie. At least there’s normal film cameras in the show. Don’t worry, you won’t be viewing from Forest Whitaker’s HD Video Camera in the movie all the time. LOL.

Overall, this movie is yes, predictable a little, but nonetheless, the intensity and blood-rush to the brain is really quite an experience. Go for it. You will not be disappointed. I repeat. NOT disappointed. =)

Ratings - 4 out of 5 Stars

Legalised

Yes, and the stress is off me, relieved as if after a piss in the toilet. The test was a breeze, everything went smoothly, with some mistakes though, but who cares, after all, I passed. Lol. Surprisingly, I only took 18 lessons, a few lessons lesser of the normal human that would take. But nonetheless, I finished everything and I am now street legal. Totally. Haha.

Speaking about driving, I realised that it is rather expensive to learn how to drive here in Singapore. Not like we do need to spend 1k at Australia to learn, but after all, if you know how to drive, then you are surely good. If not, you just can’t drive and you gotta accept the fact. Well, it’s a lot of money spent and if you do fail at the test, then you will be spending even more than 1k to learn and drive…. again. Which makes no sense because you are wasting your parents / your own money on something that you have learnt again and again and again. Do it once, do it good.

To me, I can do thousand things with a thousand dollars. To me, a thousand dollars means you can get your hands on many things, like: 10000 packets of seaweed (Lol.), 1000 tries at the arcade to use that freaking machine to pick up a toy for your dearest girlfriend, 1000 cups of soya bean / sugar cane drink at hawker centres, 500 bowls of laksa at Sungei Road, 333 packets of roasted chicken rice at any hawker centre near your home, 256 Hotwheel Cars, 105 weekend movie tickets at GV, Cathay or any cinema outlets, topping up your EZ-link card 100 times, 100 hair-cuts at the nearest salon, purchasing 50 CDs from HMV, Sembawang Music or any other outlets, 28 original movie posters at PopcornPop, 20 mahjong tables (that’s random really.), 9 soccer jerseys from Adidas, 5 Maxtor External Harddisk at 199 each, 2 Ipod Touch OR 1 reasonably good Desktop computer for your own use.

Imagine the amount of things that you can buy with 1000 dollars. If only driving wasn’t like a leech. Every step on the accelerator is consuming maybe 20 cents of my expenditure on learning. Now, since I passed, I think stepping on the accelerator is the least I would like to do all over again and again. Did you know that by accelerating again and again, compared to holding your accelerator at a constant speed is actually more petrol-consuming? That means money running into you engine and being shredded like putting unwanted paper in the shredder at your damn office.

In Singapore, to own and maintain a car is already expensive, let alone learning how to drive. Maybe that’s why the government is making it so expensive that not many people will drive a car in the future, which still doesn’t help because the public transport is not doing it’s job well enough either. And there are even more cars than before on the expressways. I think I’m gonna swallow petrol one day and be a car because it’s too expensive to own one.

Anyway, don’t ask when I will start driving, because, if I take my dad’s car away from him, it’s like taking his leg away from him. Handicapped. Lol.

State of Panick.

Filed under: Just Updates, inspiration, interest, life, mood, reflections, shadow, whatever — egomarc @ 6:16 pm

That’s my current feeling. Why? Because tomorrow afternoon’s my driving test. I only learnt 18 lessons. And it’s not the usual amount for a person to learn before taking the big test. What’s wrong? Well, apparently my job, my army life and other aspects of life has forced me to only take that little amount of things. Lol. And yes, the weather isn’t doing me a a kind favour at all. I turn left to look out and to my surprise, when I just thought that it is 5:30, an evening sky is what I’m expecting. But it looks like night time now. Thanks to the darkest clouds I have seen in my estate so far.

And yes, this is my early post for the past 2 weeks because I’m afraid I’ve to sleep early in preparation for tomorrow’s test. Yes, I’m still having the heebie geebies and butterflies in my stomach. But, you know, after all, the tester is still a human. So I need to keep my cool and confidence. Can someone up that for me. =).

My state of panick now has caused me to lose my appetite, my thirst for success, and yes, my energy, just when I needed it the most. Someone has asked me about how I manage to blog about something everyday, even so if my brain is empty. Well, seriously speaking, anything and any letter that I pressed on the keyboard is deemed blind and any-o-how. And it’s just that I tend to blog uninspirationally and type about the build up to my uninspiration. Inspiring? Nah.

Somebody Save Me. Please.

Seasons.

I have been discussing about a planned trip to Japan with Suban, and believing from the fact that most of them won’t be able to go, then most probably it will be me and him to Japan. Sometimes I wish that I could really travel with close friends but somehow, it just seems improbable. Well, maybe because there are different times and seasons when we travel to Japan. But who knows, we need not need the snow to enjoy.

Speaking about seasons, in this post here and starting from the next sentence, please do not refer seasons to a type of climatic or weather change. Here it goes. Seasons in humans. What am I saying here? Well, I think that humans have their own “seasons” in their brains and mindsets. Different countrymen have their own seasonal mindset. Elaborate? Alright, “seasonal mindset” also means that their self, in conjunction with the brain, adapts to a different type of behaviour throughout the span of the year.

Like for example, in Singapore, January is a start to a new year, and then people will all start to be prepared and geared up for work, school, etc. Then when it reaches to the end of January and beginning of February, every Chinese in Singapore starts to adopt a “festive mood” thanks to Chinese New Year, and then that’s when everyone’s hardworking attitude starts to deteriorate. LOL. For students in particular, when the month of March and June reaches, they all knew that the school holidays are here and a chance would be gone begging if they never left the house for an outing or more.

It’s just amazing to see a person’s seasonal mindset switch in a split second when they all knew that the day is coming. Of course, with the help of viewing the calendar at the start of the year definitely brings out a more “prepared” and “ready” brain. Lol. Let’s bring ourselves to Japan. Japan, in a different calender style, has 4 seasons to go with. Namely, alright, i won’t mention since it’s obvious. Not because I want to fill up words here but yes, its understandable. They go by knowing that winter is here, prepared and ready, then they will expect snow to fall like rain, so they set their minds straight, knowing that leaving their house without a coat or jacket is a no-no.

Seriously, I really need to go to Japan. Lol. I’m rather seasonal. =)

Dan in Real Life

Filed under: Reviews of Movies, family, hobbies, humour, interest, life, whatever — egomarc @ 1:28 pm

1653465072_81590c32f8.jpg

Actually, this show reminds me a bit of my life, where after every education or job, I tend to lose track of my life and incidentally, my life goes into a deep slumber. Stagnant yet quiet, I lie low as if like I didn’t care at all. A life that was just PURELY normal. Nothing more, nothing less.

Alright, back to the review. The plot – Dan (Steve Carell) is a widower with three daughters. When Dan goes to a local bookstore, he meets Marie (Juliette Binoche) and they fall for each other. However, Dan is in for a surprise when he finds out that Marie is his brother’s new girlfriend. Over the course of several days, the two go back and forth in forbidden love and a few laughs trying to fool the entire family. How would Dan choose? His brother, family or love?

As told, this movie sounds very simple right? It’s all about love that sparks the life of this movie. And it is the disadvantage you see in Dan that makes him an even more charming lover. He might be over-protective and eccentric, but that doesn’t stop him from being in love. It’s a real change to see Steve Carrell, whom we know as another great comedian. And his daughters that played a big part in his life, are there giving him the answers to his love life, just that he couldn’t visualise it.

In conclusion, this is a family oriented movie that goes on smoothly and easily accompanied with some delightful moments in the family. Along with soothing music, the family-driven humour will just crack you up, but at the same time, it gives you a feeling of “Awww… So Sweet.” =)

Isolated.

Filed under: Just Updates, interest, life, mood, moonlight, reflections, shadow, singapore, street, town, whatever — egomarc @ 3:21 am

That is what I feel when I was in secondary school. Seriously, the feeling of being left out is like a scar that runs through your mind, permanently tattooed on your braincells. Pain, torture, yet surreal. Dreaming? Perhaps not.

Well, this feeling has always been like a constantly disturbing virus in my secondary school days. Maybe I feel inferior because of the way I’m and the way I look like. It’s also rather low-down to realise that you aren’t that prolific and popular at all. Well, I ain’t complaining about popularity, but then it will also be good that people take note of who you are. Isn’t that what everyone would love to be of? A superstar status? But then again, as I see my friends walk past me, giggling and sharing thoughts of their own, I sat at one corner, either staring into the ceiling or looking blankly at the whiteboard, I thought to myself : Why didn’t I had any friends like this? The type of word to describe me – Outcast. I feel even worse than a stranded person on an island. Kinda worse than Tom Hanks in Castaway.

Isolation, after all, leaves me to sit at one side, reflecting on the things that I can improve and also to correct any mistakes that I felt that I had done wrong. All the way, I’ve done the same till I graduated. And even after I graduated, I came back to school, looking around with memories so faded yet vivid, I still head back to a spot that I regularly visit. Just to be alone, reflecting once more. Friends don’t bother me at all during that point in life. But needless to say, no one would say that they won’t care about you don’t you think so.

At this point, I would really hope that if anyone of you has any classmates that are seriously outcast, do make them feel part of your class or maybe part of your hangout bunch. Give them happiness in life and friendship that binds. Because, you might never know what’s deep down that person’s heart. Because, after all that you can do, you might not know what he’s feeling. =)

Death and it’s price.

Filed under: Just Updates, death, interest, mood, reflections, whatever — egomarc @ 3:17 am

Well, I dreamt of all too many things at one time last night. Including ghosts. Then I realised that they are just living souls. Or dead people so to speak.

Death hasn’t always been hitting me hard lately, just that I didn’t really take death as serious as an exam paper. But then, I’m blogging about death not because I’m some emo kid that thinks that death is fun and enjoyable, but I believe death, significant to life, is something that we should all be worried about at times.

In my point of view, death has always been something very solemn and despairing. Like a sorrowful event. But I don’t usually get so worked up with someone dead unless it’s someone close and dear to me. But I do not know if it’s me or is it the death of something, but I do not feel anything when spoken about death. Like it’s just another passing of someone in life. It didn’t get to me. Then I realised something – what if I had died? Who will be there at my funeral? Who will cry and sob uncontrollably? Then I knew that life’s very very fragile and vulnerable. It’s like when I’m happily driving my car, heading towards some outing with my girl, and I didn’t turn up because my car flipped and I’m inside, trapped and dead.

How are we to deal with the consequences of death? It’s painful to bear. It’s hard to accept. Just when we are so indulged into the happiness of life. It’s like when you just had a conversation with me like 10 mins ago, and the next thing you know, yes, you got it right. I’m dead. Who knows. Maybe after I typed this post, I might just lay on my bed, dead. We do have our difficulties in life, and accepting the fact that someone is dead is something that we should all learn to face, and not run away from reality. And pray that he/she goes to somewhere safe, in the embrace of the one above.

Be happy that the one you love is still around, for many has lost them since they were born. Love them, or lose them.

Forever Love.

Filed under: Just Updates, cenotaph, history, life, mood, rant, reflections, singapore, street, whatever — egomarc @ 1:55 am

Don’t worry, I won’t blabber out the whole lyrics of Lee Hom’s music like any other blogger might do when he/she likes the song. The word forever seems very never-ending to me. Like an abundance of water in the ocean. Like clouds that accumulate to no end. It’s almost as good as a fairytale.

Sometimes, to me, love has it’s price. Love is sacrifice. Love is to give in your all. Love is. Love is. Love is many to all. I can give u a million reasons to be in love but definitely, at the end of it, there’s always one reason to be all out of love. That is when you are feeling darn hopeless in life that you don’t even want to be in love. So will you abide to be in love forever? Or is love to you a waiting game? A game that you control with your both hands, throwing down the dice that will depict your next move and ongoing quest to seek a better partner? Well, if you continue to try that, I think you might just realised that half of your life has just passed you.

People have been asking me when am I tying the knot, when am I gonna invite them for my wedding etc. Let me now get it all straight to you. Even if I’m on the verge of a 7 year relationship, it doesn’t mean I have to get married as soon as possible. The reasons why are all darn simple and I believe every Singaporean will definitely understand.

- Number 1 : I’m just 23.
- Number 2 : I’m not a multi-millionaire that owns Hilton.
- Number 3 : I have not even learnt how to earn money and I’m already spending.
- Number 4 : I don’t have a great education background and neither is my financial background.
- Number 5 : I ain’t the government.

So what if I’m loyal and faithful? Eventually if I can’t earn enough money to guarantee my girl a future in my hands, she will eventually leave me not because the both of us agree on it, it’s also due to our parental consent. Not that we need a consent form or something, but I believe every parent would want the best for their children no? For a boy, the parents will be like – since you have no cash, don’t drag others into your disastrous future. For a girl, the parents will be like – you better get a rich or well off husband and married out, for that I can rest my mind. And stop disturbing me and asking for dinner.

Is love really that hard to figure out? If it is, I wouldn’t be in it for 7 years and still counting. You just gotta be fresh and new on your date really. I believe that there are many numbers to the people in the world who possess top-class creativity. Definitely much better than me. I’m just. Normal. Which means my date might snap anytime because of the boring me. But hey, you can’t expect much from a small country/island like this do you. After all, love is unconditional. Especially to her.

Seriously, my word of advice to seeking true love is very simple.

Do what you think is right and don’t think so much. Really. =)
