Jayaxe|W|P|No need to wear nice to impress. Wear less can already. Hahahaha! Vera|W|P|i also dun have much clothes to wear to work...you should complain! I'm sure they will write back to you.
Guojun|W|P|We shd have asked for our ice cream cone coupons.. whether it makes us fatter or not. FF|W|P|Bubblemunche>> I hate to make a scene. I prefer to write complaint letters. I'm getting so good at them.Jay>> Naughty naughty.
Fat Fingers>> Perhaps I will if I have the time.
GJ>> Yes we should have. But I was too miffed already.
Jayaxe|W|P|From the way you write your blog, I confirm the McManager will piss his pants after reading your letter! Hahahahaha! littlecartnoodles|W|P|Whom are you addressing the complaint letter to ? Larry Kwan (the MD of McD Singapore) and cc the wretched store manager ? The latter's ass should be nailed to the floor !Another thing I don't understand is : when you order a meal, they give you like 3-4 packs of sauce but one miserable serviette. Sometimes I feel like asking, "Paper very expensive issit ? Can I trade sauce for more paper ?"
Most HK women think Singapore women are sluts, for wearing so little. A case of sour tits lah .. sorry, grapes.
CatWoman|W|P|Hey @ least they give you sauce free. In England, I got a burger & fries & when I asked for 2 extra packets of ketchup, they charged me for them...... I can wear any hoochy momma top @ work & I have a black lab jacket to cover the hoochieness. LOL Sometimes I just wear a halter w/back wide open & no one sees. I can wear anything on the bottom, slacks,skirts, & jeans on Friday. Cowboy Caleb|W|P|i agree the service at Shaw is appalling. JellyGirl|W|P|Baby, what do you mean there's no one to impress at the office? Can always dress to impress yourself! (Is just excuse to go shopping, no?) Mandrake|W|P|while you are at it, could you add in the fact they changed the chilli sauce to the sweet version.. what happened to the garlic version which we all loved that goes so well with the fries? now we are just eating sugar.. sigh.. mediha_m|W|P|That's B-A-D service! Yes, do DO write the letter. It's the only way they'll understand that they won't get away with it.McD's customer service (post-complaint) is pretty good - My mom complained about them mixing up our takeaway orders and we managed to get two free chocolate shakes :)
FF|W|P|Jay>> Yes. My sarcasm can be lethal at times.Noodle>> Think the store manager was the one who scraped the choc fudge of the bottom of the container.
MsMeow>> Perhaps it's better if they charge us for ketchup. I see alot of wastage.
Jellygirl>> You're right! Who knows, I might bump into a cute guy one day whilst I'm wearing my recycled clothes.
Mandrake>> Eat ketchup like I do.
Maverix>> The McD's here don't sell shakes.:(
I'm not a fan of cartoons. In fact, the last animation I watched was "Toy Story", which was not by choice but circumstance as my brothers played the DVD on repeat everyday for 1 year or so. But the trailer of Shark Tale was just too funny! Will be watching it tonight. |W|P|109920285019725736|W|P|What Else Is New?|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com
Jayaxe|W|P|Think I'll be watching it too. I love the way they drawn the shark to mimic real life actors like Robert De Niro and his mole. Moley Moley Moley!
FF|W|P|Jayaxe>> Yes yes! Go watch!Bubble>> I guess you could say so. Smoker, drinker and races his car illegally. I suppose that's as "pai" as one can get in Singapore.
Jayaxe|W|P|No one watch with me leh :( littlecartnoodles|W|P|FF, you are the idea "Nan2 Ren2 Bu2 Huai4, Nu3 Ren2 Bu2 Ai4" personified. (In short : "Women dig bad boys")"Gwai kia" (Good boys) get dumped if they bring you to Jack's Place, but Pai Kia get their lunches paid for, and do not get slapped for making booty calls*.
God is not fair.
* I never understood the meaning of this term until I read your blog.
FF|W|P|Jay>> Watch alone lor! Weekday afternoons are da best.Noodle>> I didn't know myself till I watched The OC. By the way, did you know I thought your real name was Cheh Zhai Meen until I recently went through your archives and saw your explanation?
Jayaxe|W|P|How's the show? Good? No Good? FF|W|P|Not too bad. 7 outta 10 stars. don't expect too much though. PP|W|P|I think it is safe to say that The Bug is a LEECH! Sprinkle some salt on him to get it off your skin.
Man U should be ashamed of themselves. Having beaten such a great team like Arsenal last week, it was only natural that they'd demolish Portsmouth. They didn't win, they didn't draw, they didn't lose by one goal but TWO whole goals! Which goes to show their win at Old Trafford last week was a fluke! Kelong! As usual, after a loss, Arsenal somewhat lost their confidence and drew with the Saints 2-2. But at least they didn't lose by two goals! Ne-ne-ni-poo-poo.
I am thankful I had the squirts today (from too much damned papaya yesterday). So I mentioned that to Mr. NS and he said better not eat jap food. We went to watch "The Grudge" and ate McD's instead. Checked out the guys at the Subaru Impreza WRX challenge and went to Indochine at Wisma for a beer.
So, anyway, the whole more than platonic friendship issue has been hanging in the air for quite awhile. I know he does like me more than a friend, but as usual, i pretend i'm in denial. He asked me what kinda guy I'm into and I replied "Pai kia" (bad boys) and he asked casually "Lucky for me I didn't chase after you yes?" I said, somewhat over enthusiastically "Yeah, you're definitely not my type". Silence. More silence. Pregnant silence. Awkward silence. I think he got the point. |W|P|109915484816626977|W|P|I Had The Squirts, Phew!|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com Jayaxe|W|P|Ouch, that hurts. Was it like an accidental slip of the mouth or somewhat opportunistic reply to say "definitely not your type"?
|W|P|I was very nonchalant about it as though the idea of him liking me never even crossed my mind. Jayaxe|W|P|Yup but you don't have to hide as anonymous in saying this what! Haha! FF|W|P|YOu know that was an accident. FF|W|P|I don't think he wants to lose my friendship? FF|W|P|Bubblemunche>> Sorry, I don't understand Chinese. Translate please.Carencro>> You speaking in tongue?
Jayaxe|W|P|I help translate - Short Term Damage Better Than Long Term Pain. Jayaxe|W|P|Actually I find it strange. Or you're simply just too soft-hearted. I thought girls have no problem rejecting unwanted advances from guys one? littlecartnoodles|W|P|"Happy Halloween! In Asia, seldom do you see anyone trick or treating."That's because it's a freaking American import ! Do people even know what Halloween means ?
*switches off Grumpy Old Man mode*
Sorry.
Aiyah, you think you'll be spared these hassles if you were a lesbian ? Seems that you have "plum blossom luck" (tao hua yun).
Vera|W|P|You must say NO to Mr. Not Shy. If you really are going to pay for the meal, you'd be very angry at yourself later on.. PinkyTwins|W|P|I wish I had that much attention! *envious* haha CatWoman|W|P|Do you realize he's doing all this on purpose. He knows you were about to cancel or change plans and he doesn't care. He just wants to go to that posh restaurant no matter what. All the energy. All the excitement. All the calls. It's A MANIPULATIVE PLOY. THE WHOLE ENTHUSIASM THING. ON PURPOSE. He ON PURPOSE interrupted you in mid sentence. After your dinner, you should tell him things like, "Gee, I'm not going to be able to afford to do dinner out until February now. Be snide. You can do that well. LOL Make comments like, there will be no coffee carts until New Years Eve! FF|W|P|You know something guys? I think he would have paid. He's THAT nice to me. He wills surprise me in that way. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. |W|P|"Wish I'm a lesbian"Well, that makes the both of us then, doesn't it? ;)
I probably don't have to tell you this, but you *do* realise that letting it drag out just makes things harder, right? Of course you do. Now be a good little girl and go break his heart...
.hung
Jayaxe|W|P|For once, I absolutely agree that it's not a case of jealousy but because of the newer generations. Remember, the generations before us also always 'lament' that we lived better than them, isn't it?
Anyway, you can help yourself to shopping therapy every now and then, which is good, no? :)
CatWoman|W|P|When I was a kid I got vinyl records that were called 45's and 33's. You got clothes and lip gloss and junk jewelry if you were a girl and if you asked for boys toys (like a ranch set w/cowboys and indians) Mom said NO. (Probably afraid I'd turn lesbian if she did LOL) I hated dolls! Hated the Easy Bake Oven. I ended up settling for board games. & became a master at Stratego. Never lost a game, even as an adult. LOL Gee I wonder why I'm not a soccer mom/house wife??? FF|W|P|Jay>> Yeah you're right. We cannot compare our generation with the next generation. Haiyoooo I'm getting old. There's actually a generation after ours! :(MsMeow>> I have never heard of that game before! Must go find. And I most read Enid Blyton books:) No dolls or cowboys for me.
Bubblemunche>> Poor you. :( Uno is an integral part of a kid's life.
Jayaxe|W|P|I predict the next generation's babies will have their own houses, cars even before they become one year old! Yikes! JellyGirl|W|P|That's right, shopping is the best! :) Jayaxe|W|P|Women experience intense emotional orgasm while shopping. While men experience the intense emotional pain.
"For every action, there's always an equal and opposite reaction."-I forgot which smart ass said that - Einstein?
FF|W|P|Jellygirl>> Nothing brings the adrenaline more than splurging.Jay>> That's Newton's third law.
Jayaxe|W|P|Quote - "Nothing brings the adrenaline more than splurging."My point of view - "Nothing brings the adrenaline more than sh---ing."
Oops! I meant to say shitting, not shagging.
Unknown|W|P|as long as u didnt start smoking.. FF|W|P|Jay>> The word shagging didn't even cross my mind. I think your dryspell has been far too long.Bubble>> Absolutely.
Woof>> *hangs head in shame*
Vera|W|P|yeah retail therapy is the best!I just had mine this afternoon.. shiok!
Before you start saying how this silly-girl-who-doesn't-know-the-value-of-money paid $590 for a silly-phone-whose-novelty-will-wear-off-soon, I got it off Yahoo! Auctions at $450. So I won't lose money if I sell it off a couple months later after I get bored of it. Plus, I'm using some of the cash my parents gave me for my birthday.
Remember Mr. Not Shy? Well, I felt really really bad because he did something very nice for my birthday earlier this week. So I said I'll buy him dinner this weekend. Yesterday, he said he found this great buffet at this great hotel. Shit. I hate paying obscene amounts of money for food. Food, which you eat and pass out a few hours later. Why pay so much for something that will disappear down the sewers in less than a day? How can I tell him I'm a cheapskate who refuses to fork out another $100+$2 tip because I don't think it's worth it without sounding like a total cheapskate?
Recently, I bought Mr. Not Shy quite a pricey present. He bought me sushi. When it's my turn, why does it have to be a grand hotel? ARGHHHHHHH. Boohoo.
THIS IS WHY I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FOR MY BIRTHDAY BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE RECIPROCATED! FCUK!|W|P|109893102231387805|W|P|I Spend|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com PP|W|P|Nice :) I want a camera phone also - it's the new autograph! Jayaxe|W|P|Alamak! Sony Ericsson easy on the eyes, not easy to use! If you insist otherwise, I salute your mental toughness against user-unfriendliness.
CatWoman|W|P|FF-I once bought a gift certificate & told my friend that it was going to expire @ the end of the month & it had to be used by then, and would she mind if we went there, instead of Spago. (a more expensive one which she picked when it was my turn to pay) LOLSIGNING OFF.MsMeow
FF|W|P|PP>> Get one to match your spanking new camera. Er.. not very new anymore though.Bubblemunche>> He's driving leh. Unless we take cab, your plan will work just fine. But I will definitely seem like a cheapo. How to put it diplomatically?
Jayaxe>> I'm accustomed to the features. Had a Z600 earlier this year.
MsMeow>> Some people like taking advantage. Ugh.
FF|W|P|We'll see. Remember, this is the guy who invited himself for my birthday dinner with my sisters. :) littlecartnoodles|W|P|What was the "very nice" deed that he did for you ? What value would you put on it ?Just say you have been eating a lot recently because of business functions etc etc and suggest something "light" rather than a buffet !
FF|W|P|I already told him it's not worth it for me to eat buffet because i can eat alot. He kept insisting i must try cos he's sure I will love it. Sigh! FF|W|P|Can't not can. Vera|W|P|you should insist on eating something you like (and something that's cheaper). Since he wants to impress you, he will listen to you?or just tell him straight, you cant afford it cos you just bought a new phone.. hehe
littlecartnoodles|W|P|Time to write a complaint letter !!! FF|W|P|To whom? Jayaxe|W|P|Ms. Grumpy, say that your friend's (Mr. Miyagi) friend is Diana Ser. Diana Ser leh! Dun pray pray ah!
FF|W|P|I will only namedrop if it's the following:1) Ljungberg
2) Tom Cruise
3) Ryan from OC
Unknown|W|P|My grandfather came to Singapore from China on the same boat as errr.. Sun Yat Sen(?) arhhh... Jayaxe|W|P|You have the hots for Ljungberg coz' you saw him in his undies before issit?? (CK ad) FF|W|P|Woof>> You cannot namedrop if you can't spell the fella's name.Jay>> I liked him way before that. When he had his red mohawk hairstyle. So, seeing him in his Calvins was a bonus.
Jayaxe|W|P|Oooh. Point taken. You actually like outlandish hairstyles and have a fetish for CK undies. Hahahaha! FF|W|P|And his panther tattoo. Grrr. CatWoman|W|P|Name dropping thing can be a pain in the ass. I think it's retarded when people do this. But when you don't you get in trouble. 2 X this year, I was SUPPOSED 2 & was scolded by both a bartender & a waiter. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHEN YOU CAME IN? 1st I went 2 a club & was supposed 2 go 2 the bar & order my self & friend drinks & he'd meet us there. I didn't tell the bartender & so he started a tab. 2nd time was at a club/restaurant, where the owner said the bill will be on the house. Well my girlfriends and I didn't tell the waiter that dinner was on the owner. We just said we were friends & assumed he'd been informed. But, no! he rang up the bill. When we explained that dinner was supposed to be on the house, we got scolded again! Damned if you do, damned if you don't. FF|W|P|MsMeow, I think we should attend a namedropping course. The whys, whens and hows of namedropping. |W|P|whack lah! whack the chi-bi...give the CB a chance! LOL FF|W|P|Powerpuff>> Thing is, he seemed very nice and guai initially. Now i'm finding out more about him which i would never have guessed before! Anon>> I have no frigging clue what you're talking about.
littlecartnoodles|W|P|I think "Chi-Bi" is a new brand of Taiwanese beer ... You did not see it at Ice Cold Beer meh ? FF|W|P|Oh IC. Nah, I only drink Belgian beers. Jayaxe|W|P|Quote: "...I know who the man I'm going to marry is. But, it's someone I already know! Shit..."By that, you mean you wish to marry a stranger?!
FF|W|P|I mean, I always thought it would be someone I don't know now but will meet in the future... and not someone I already know. How disappointing. Jayaxe|W|P|Oooh. Then who's the un... er, I mean lucky guy? Mr. Rude?Anyway do you really believe in horoscope? I read with interest, sometimes only.
FF|W|P|Jay>> Not horoscopes, but from experience did I find out Librans ain't for me.Powerpuff>> Someone from my past.
|W|P|someone from your past? gasp, is it the hokkien beng? remember to tie a yellow ribbon around your neck - vk PP|W|P|You've always had weird dreams FF. I still remember you freaking me out once, when I missed my flight and you told me that you dreamt I wouldn't get on my flight. Gimme them lotto numbers!So who you marrying? And are you still coming to Bali in Dec?
FF|W|P|VK>> Nay of course it's not him! Erm. PP>> Are you sure that was me? I don't remember that incident.... but dang, if my dream is true, he's not rich and i can't be a tai-tai.
Wrt Bali, oui oui, if it's still on. Bangkok will be a one weekend thing.
Jayaxe|W|P|Did you listen properly? Maybe she was trying to hide her farts too!Ooooh. Incoming lecher alert! Take good care babe.
littlecartnoodles|W|P|Heard that in Japan, where the people are polite to the extreme, there are toilet cubicles that play music to mask the sound of peeing ... ...If you happen to be wearing a tight sweater today, you can make the sale*, baby. That cheekopek will be putty in your hands.
* of your company's products/services lah
Cowboy Caleb|W|P|you mean she only pooped 3 turds?wow. Her stomache must really be compact or something.
|W|P|OH... MY.. GOD... The real question here wouldn't be what she was doing in poo poo land. WHAT WERE you doing listen to ppl pooping?PS
Cowboy Caleb|W|P|you lesbian....***sinister smirk***
FF|W|P|PS>> I was trying to listen and see if she was pooping or peeing. Since she was pooping, I couldn't be bothered to wait and went back to my office. I am not a weirdo.Cowboy>> Your comments are not making sense nowadays. Btw, it was three plops per flush ie. 3 pieces of turds per flush. hur hur.
Bubble>> I have no idea what he looks like cos I think he will come tomorrow. He's very friendly on the phone though.
CatWoman|W|P|OMG you commenters are so weird! It's called a courtesy flush! The Japanese are SO into "toilet". Music, water spraying up your arse, self closing lids, drying.It's endless with these people! They never quit trying to perfect the toilet. I've always been lucky to work in places w/private toilet, or wait til I get home.
CatWoman|W|P|OMG I'm so insomniac from sleeping all of yesterday and here I am FOFLOL from your Mr Rude code blog. You guys R hilarious! I think it depends on the tax bracket you fall into on how much is taken out here. With me, it's only like 20 something. I still havent figured exactly if it's 22 or 24. Yea, the lazy asses in this country keep popping out bastards that we the tax payers have to support. There is no stopping it. In the south and most metro cities it's the Mexican and Puerto Rican community that are the biggest offenders of this. As long as they pop out kids, the kid is cared for. They are given vouchers and credits for free medical, food and often cheap housing. It's sickening. They do this by never marrying their kid'd dad, so they fein the un wed single mom sob story and reap the benefits of the gainfully employed working dad. There are so many other scams they play, I could write a book. They end up with enough savings for a house after 10 or 15 years on welfare. It's sickening. In answer to your original question, only the very very wealthy would get taxed 30 or 35%. For most people it's under 30% Any additional moneys taken out may be health care insurance deductions, retirement funds, and there are miscellaneous funds that are optional and not mandatory. Even retirement funds is optional. FF|W|P|Here, poor people like myself get taxed 4~5%. But no dole, no free medical care, nothing. Which works out fine for me. 20 something percent of your pay is still pretty high! We have something here called CPF where we contribute 5~20% of our pay but we get it back when we retire or we can use it to help with house payments.
The poor people here get cheap housing provided they can prove they are worthy recipients. It ain't easy to fool the government here.
Jayaxe|W|P|Ooh I realized you just added me. Kamsa Hammida! (Korean way of saying thank you.)Anyway, it's all about difference in cultures. Don't have to be so pissed (if you really are), for this is not worth it. Nice kitty kitty kitty...
FF|W|P|You're most welcome.Nah, not pissed. Just indignant. Indignance is my emotion of the month.
Unknown|W|P|In Singapore, I hardly ever tip. As you say, the 10% is already a fair bit! Also, worse than you mention, sometimes the bosses / proprietors pocket that 10%But if there was a bunch of coins, I tend to pocket it too, cos I feel it's an insult to give them $1.17 for example..
FF|W|P|Woof>> Yeah the bosses pocket the dough. So people cannot blame us for not tipping. If they didn't have the service charge, for sure I'd tip more. Unknown|W|P|I think the dynamics suck for the wait-staff either way.. If I had a nice meal with 4 friends and spent $300, even if there was no 10% service charge, it'd be painful for me to write a tip for $30 to $50.. littlecartnoodles|W|P|I don't think it's the responsibility of the diner to ensure that the wait staff are adequately compensated. It's the restauranteur's job. He should build the payroll cost into the food and drink prices.If tipping means I am paying for the waiter's service, then does that mean I can choose my waiter ?
"Hello, can I have a table for two at 7pm, with ... is Cindy that blonde from LA ? Yeah, plus Cindy. Don't gimme that college dork again."
I think the tipping culture in the US is ridiculous. Why do cab drivers even have to be tipped ? I had dinner in Miami a few years ago and the bill said, "For your convenience, we have added a 19% gratuity to your bill."
Wah, so considerate ...
FF|W|P|Siao... imagine if the meal came up to $200. The tip would be $40. The waitress would be grossly overpaid. Why should the tip be proportional to the cost of the food? It should be proportional to the time you took to finish the meal and had her running around like a headless chicken fetching you water, cleaner cutlery and what not.What's it like in HK? Do you hafta tip?
PP|W|P|Income tax in America is actually quite tame compared to European countries. Here in Australia, most people pay around 35% (it's progressive, so it depends) There is also an extra 1.5% Medicare Levy, so it adds up to be ALOT of tax. I say I deserve to go on the dole for a few years! -_- littlecartnoodles|W|P|Restaurants in HK also add a 10% service charge like in Singapore, so HKers seldom tip as well. If a place does not charge it, people would normally leave the coins behind when the waiter returns with the change.BTW, does everyone know that if you pay with a credit card and wish to leave a tip, you should put cash instead of filling in the "TIPS" amount on the charge slip ? I understand that most bosses don't pass that on to their staff.
FF|W|P|Some restaurants don't even bother to take into account my tip from the credit card bill. So yeah, should leave cash instead. |W|P|bingo. i can do it. but can i pass the doll? a nicely chilled erdinger will be more than great FF|W|P|Doll got three luscious holes you know! You're passing up on a great thing. But Erdinger is much cheaper so go for it! Unknown|W|P|aiyah, so simple: "my my.. look how you've grown over the past few years.."more seriously, gimme the doll! but since I only know 3 of the 4 phrases, i just need 2 holes.. haha..

Mandrake|W|P|NO!!! I want boobs! FF|W|P|Fine. One boob and one luscious hole. Or two boobs and no luscious holes. Or no boobs and three luscious holes. Jayaxe|W|P|Ditto Mandrake's answer except first sentence which should be "Hello, what are you doing NOW?"NOW, is that not right?
FF|W|P|Sorry luvvie, you get a one legged doll with two luscious holes. 90% accurate. Jayaxe|W|P|Your marking system zun one bo? How come I just add a 'NOW' can degrade from 96% to 90%??

From left to right: Strawberry Daiquiri, Pina Colada & Barnaman's Baileys. What is it about sitting high up in the booth and thoroughly enjoying watching the bartender climb up to serve us drinks? Very macho the way his strong arm grips the railing while his other arm precariously balances a tray of colourful cocktails. Grrrr. It helped that he was cute and oozing charm the way he purred "Good evening, ladies". I melted. I didn't dare ask for his number, but will do so when I'm there again in a couple of weeks.
Three greedy people ate four main courses: Filet mignon, ribeye steak, skewers & fisherman's basket.

|W|P|Well i:m thumbing thru blogs and run across yours and see there are still people like you and your friends stuffing there faces on filet mignon, and what not and i see how fuckin inconciderate , can ya be leaving a 1.00 and change to the waiter{whom by the way don:t forget ya wanted to :ask him out , hes cute} after him serving, 3 people 4 diff... plates of food and drinks and refills.. you all ourta be so ashamed even for blogging it to begin with... Its people like you, and others in this country, that have money that treat others who have to count on that TIP, to feed there kids or maybe get diapers for the baby.... well i had a chance to vent you had a chance more then likey to laugh your ass off, or take heed to some advice.... TIP!!!! 15% of your bill..... waitors and waitresses dont even make minimum wage
FF|W|P|Dear American who's probably on the dole,In Asia, we have such a thing as a service charge on the bill which is 10% of the total amount, GST which is 5% of the total amount and CSS which is 1% of the total amount.
Hence, our bill comes up to 16% more. With the service charge, the tip is optional.
Please find out more about our culture before you start flaming us. It does not work the same way in Singapore and in the US.
How brave of you to leave your name and URL.
CatWoman|W|P|FF GREAT ANSWER. What a dufus! Hey American or Canadian, if you're such a seasoned traveler, wouldn't you investigate these things first when traveling?I spent a month in Indonesia and tipped 5% of the bill and that's because I'm generous. That much is not even expected. Even bell hops wont complain when you give them 30 or 50 cents! Every place is different. Even if Singapore is like the U.S. in many ways. In many ways IT IS NOT. So shut your pie hole until you really live like the Romans and your head OUT of the clouds! Chat with the locals sometime & find these things out.
(FF you can delete this if you want to. I just got pissed)
littlecartnoodles|W|P|Oh my God, an American is teaching us manners.Everybody kow-tow now ...
FF|W|P|MsMeow>> I loved your comment. One more thing I find is unfair in America is that hardworking people with a decent job get taxed 30~40% of their income, which goes to supporting those on dole (social welfare??). And some of them go on dole because they're lazy and not because they really need it. How much taxes do you pay?
Noodle>> LOL LOL LOL!
Jayaxe|W|P|Hahaha! He's (your ex) happy for you also mah! But he's moronic alrite. Got stead already still call and talk to you about you.
FF|W|P|That's the whole point of my indignance - the fact that he has a gf! Otherwise i suppose i'd be a lil... er.. flattered. :) Jayaxe|W|P|You shouldn't feel FLATtered. You should feel INFLATED! Hahahaha...Anyway, Jack's Place isn't that bad only if the food doesn't suck there. But I dun think there considered that cheap leh. Only the 'ambiance' not there wat.
FF|W|P|Oh very funny with the pun.Actually I shouldn't be so judgemental. he's a very nice and simple guy. And you're right, Jack's place isn't very cheap for dinner. I was thinking about lunch prices. And i shouldn't be such a snob.
UGH I HATE MYSELF.
littlecartnoodles|W|P|Note to self : Jack's Place for post-coital phase only.FF ah, what are some pre-coital loh-mantic dinner places in Singapore ? Give tips leh.
FF|W|P|Noodle>> Apparently this place called "Mortons of Chicago" is superb.Bubblemunche>> Sad but true. :( Life is cruel.
Unknown|W|P|If I brought a girl on a date to Morton's only to see her eat 1/4 of her $90 steak "cos I'm on diet", I'd excuse myself, go to the washroom and bang my head against the wall..Now now, have you been using 1 of those breast-enhancing creams?
littlecartnoodles|W|P|Wah lau eh ... I knew you'd either say Morton's or Alkaff Mansion or one of those places at the Botanic Gardens. Jayaxe|W|P|Oops! You don't sound like a snob to me lah. Sometimes people just hope for a better deal than what they can get. I'm at times guilty of that also :) CatWoman|W|P|HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FF!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.Have a fun b-day week!
Eat cake.
FF|W|P|Woof>> Don't be naughty. It's called growing up.Noodle>> I have never been there! But Woof says it's a good place and so do other friends. Anywhere in Chijmes is good enough.
Jay>> Sometimes I think I should be nicer.
MsMeow>> Thank you :). Post up pics later.
|W|P|damn funny. i agree you grew - not in one or two senses, but 3 senses.you are def more mellowed, ballooned and b****ier than a year ago.
you've grown babe!
Unknown|W|P|FF: errr... you know, girls usually stop growing by like 19? :o) FF|W|P|Wahlau! Anon, I frigging know who you are and I will strangle you the next time I see you.Woof>> Me special.
Unknown|W|P|Heh.. I sure hope u stop growing at some point..
I feel so sad for Arsenal. Arsenal, who have pummelled through every team without a loss for the past 40 odd games, have finally been defeated by the Red Devils. I never thought their unbeaten run would end by the team I hate the most. Full time score: 2-0. |W|P|109863747978842510|W|P|All Good Things Come To An End|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com Jayaxe|W|P|You forgot to put a crossed picture of Rooney too. Luckily you never staked more than just $10 and a dinner ;) FF|W|P|Rooney deserves to score. He's quick and sharp. Ruud loves scoring through penalty kicks. Sigh. Well, as the punters say, the ball is round and anything can happen.
Which team do you support?
Jayaxe|W|P|Errrmmm... Errrrrr... Eeeeeeee... scared to tell you, else your feline paws come kungfu fighting. Haha.. ok lah Man U. But I admit v.Nistelrooy lately cannot make it. Actually the whole Man U team seems bo form also.
By the way, do you like wearing football jerseys? I find girls wearing them look chic ;)
Jayaxe|W|P|Oh, one more thing. I actually do feel for Arsenal though me not its supporter. It was amazing that they went more than one season without defeat. Salute. Respect. :) FF|W|P|Most Singaporean guys like Man U anyway. :(I have an Arsenal jersey. I seldom wear it out though, usually wear it to sleep.
FF|W|P|I have nobody to impress with nice silk camisoles. Boohoo. Even then, I'm so cho-lor I would probably tear all of them. Jayaxe|W|P|Ah. So you wear the jersey to BED. Cool ;) |W|P|Bubblemunche>> Methinks you'd look good in an eskimo suit.Jayaxe>> Nothing sexy bout that I guarantee ya.
Dominic|W|P|Man U rulez... I betted with my heart n made a killing. Yeah.. Arsenal do play good football at times, but they r a dirty team, ie high leg tackles n stuff.
How wrong or right am I? More to come when I'm bored. Design your own cartoon here. I have $10 and a dinner at stake on the Man U Vs. Arsenal match tonight. May Alan Smith trip on his laces and fall flat on his face. May Thierry Henry do his little dance all the way to the goalpost. Good luck to me!

Cowboy Caleb|W|P|all the cartoons look alike leh. Some some incestous twin thing. FF|W|P|That's cos they're cartoons. But hair, eyes, mouth, shape of face, background, clothes all different. |W|P|ryanson looks like ken lim.-theknees
CatWoman|W|P|That was fun FF! I've never created my own avatar. Always had to choose from like a list.You know what I look like, so tell me what do you think?
I've posted the link to your tag board.
Ciao - Meow
FF|W|P|Theknees>> Oh ya hor. But Ryanson says he looks nothing like that.MsMeow>> Your avatar looks Asian. LOL.
Mandrake|W|P|heh.. is that me? well, you got my hair colour right.. by the way, the girl in the Spanish blow up doll thingy is not a spanish, she is a eastern european girl..
FF|W|P|How you know so much about European blow up dolls? FF|W|P|Dreamy people like putting their hands there. I think you're dreamy. Oui? CatWoman|W|P|I'm half Asian. As in Asia minor. Great grand parents from northwest Iran. Then I've a little Native American Apache there which makes me almond eyes. LOL
I'm a mutt. American mutt w/Spanish Portughese Mexican Native American and Assyrian all mixt in.
PP|W|P|Love the dimples FF :) Mandrake|W|P|Meow: any real shots? Would love to see the result of these features.. FF: err, I know she is Eastern European, but I dun know about any blow up dolls.. heh heh..
littlecartnoodles|W|P|You think I'm a pot-smoking, scarf-wrapping wuss ?Quite close leh ...
FF|W|P|Mandrake>> her pic is up in her blog.Noodle>> I knew it!
cour marly|W|P|Wow, what big eyes I have. And brown, rebonded hair! Cute, FF! 'Cept nothing like the real thing. *sniff* FF|W|P|Dang! Mandrake|W|P|is it? I only saw cats and dogs. littlecartnoodles|W|P|Give the guy a break ! In prison, they'd have had morning roll call, breakfast and exercise by 8am.I still can't believe you once dated someone who's so different from what I think you're like ...
(heck, for all I know you might be a Butterworth Ah Lian with a damn good spell- and grammar check)
FF|W|P|Noodles, he's been out of jail for six months. You know why he's awake at 8am? He just finished clubbing.In my defence, I was going through a rough period and his attention and lavish gifts were welcoming at that low point in my life.
CatWoman|W|P|I'm sorry for you're rude awakening, FF. I think Noodles is WRONG about why he called at that hour. "Just come back from clubbing" WRONG WRONG WRONG answer. Right answer.....H.O.R.N.E.Y. I don't get why you get emails. It's so weird. I never got a rejection email - that a comment didn't go through. COMPLAINT LETTER! LOL Tell him you're never going back to Penang for as long as you live & some other rubbish. Maybe he'll lose the illusion. Email me your tag board info, I hate mine. No delete or reset switch:-( FF|W|P|MsMeow>> He's still a virgin. I kid you not. I've emailed you what you need.
Jayaxe|W|P|Got Nokia? Why never switch silent mode when you koon? FF|W|P|Samsung. Twas on silent mode but forgot to turn off vibration mode. Jayaxe|W|P|Naughty naughty. You must have kiap-ed it somewhere in between so that's why you were disturbed. hehehe.. |W|P|I am happy that you are complaining in your current context :)Skates
CatWoman|W|P|Also remember this. More than half of the people on the planet don't have a roof over their heads. And just the fact that you can go and buy a coffee at a coffee cart once in a while, is a luxury that very very few even have. My (half) siblings have never ever dined anywhere nice. There are so many many people in the U.S.A. who have died never having dined somewhere nice or traveled beyond a 100 mile radius of their home.Yes, we are luck fucks.
We dine nice all the time, go out for drinks w/friends & travel every year.
Count yer blessings.
FF|W|P|Skates>> What's your URL?MsMeow>> Hear hear! Btw, everytime I comment in your blog, I get an email sent to me saying the comment did not go through. WHY IS THAT?!
Jayaxe|W|P|You also complained about fat, ugly men chasing you around. And then later busy with cute, handsome men already? ;) CatWoman|W|P|I have no idea why this is happening. That sucks. If it happens again let me know, so I can WRITE A COMPLAINT LETTER TO BLOGGER.Try the tag board. It hasn't happened to anyone else that I'm aware of. How weird. Is it every time?
FF|W|P|Jayaxe>> I find that hard to convert into a blessing. I'll give it a whirl though. Here goes:I complain that I'm surrounded by fat and ugly men. And then I realise none of my friends are surrounded.
MsMeow>> I don't email comments. I click on "Post a comment". My comment doesn't show and it gets bounced to my email. Hmmmm. Let me try again later.
Before you write the letter, do let me know, I have heaps of complaints for you to add in as well. :)
Jayaxe|W|P|Hahaha.. nice one!
I am selling a Samsung SGH-X430. Brand new, never used before. Outside, you buy it for $320-$350. In Mustafa, you get it for $300. I'm selling it for $280 ono. Email me if you're interested. I think it's a phone more suitable for girls. |W|P|109849729436593049|W|P|Lelong|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com
Vera|W|P|Yeah, there must be something going on between them! Argh! FF|W|P|Either that or he wanted to gain some brownie points. cour marly|W|P|What was the SI theme this week? I missed the show. FF|W|P|Specially for you, here's my summary of what happened this week:The contestants got to sing a song from their favourite idols. The songs are below with my rating out of 5 *.
Sylvester - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing - Aerosmith ****
Olinda - When A Man Loves A Woman - Bette Midler ***
Maia - I forgot the name of the song - Shakira *
Taufik - Yeah - Usher *
Daphne - I Turn To You - Christina Aguilera *
Leandra - Dreaming of You - Selina*
Christopher - Angels - Robbie Williams **
Maia was voted out.
cour marly|W|P|Thanks, luv. How did Sylvester end up on bubble then? Or was it just a ploy? FF|W|P|I definitely think it's a ploy. After all, they made it seem like he was bottom 3 the past two weeks, which I think is impossible since he has such a huge fan base. You notice, in American Idol they always called on the three people with the least votes, but in Singapore Idol, they just announce that there are two groups, one safe and one not.
FF|W|P|A few years back. Apparently he had a Japanese boyfriend or something. Unknown|W|P|totally true.. it's shit when your car gets knocked and you can't claim against your insurance (even though you are entitled to) cos that will affect your no-claims-discount the following years..honestly, I quite like being able to sit in a bus and just read my stuff / daydream.. or feeling the thrill when a my nasty cab-driver is weaving in and out of lanes and horning at everyone..
FF|W|P|Well, i won't lie and say i don't miss driving my own car. I had my own car back when I was doing my A Levels. But at times like these, I AM glad i don't have a car. CatWoman|W|P|Now you can use that to rub in his nose next time you fuck up @ work, and he tries to make you feel stupid. Jayaxe|W|P|It's one of those times when you feel 'victorious' out of nothing eh? I was unlucky not to have encountered such cuckoo boss :) |W|P|You are one MEAN girl! Hahaha...-dg
Vera|W|P|yeah her arms were so big! My 5 yr old niece called her a fat monkey! And i don't know why the judges like Daphne so much.
They are forever praising her..
Jayaxe|W|P|sniff sniff.. I sniff the smell of vinegar in the air. You can try spilling some glue on your butt to stick to someone too ;) Ryanson|W|P|Hahahaha..why didn't you say anything on Sly?? FF|W|P|Fat Fingers>> Daphne is sickeningly sweet, but there's no oomph to her vocal capabilities.Jayaxe>> I am not that stickywicky kinda person. But it's his first gf mah... so you know lah. ;)
Ryanson>> It's called LOYALTY.
CatWoman|W|P|Super glue in the crotch. It's possible. LOL Never under estimate the power of super glue. I work in eye clinic and see someone come in every other month come in w/a super glue accident. They mistake superglue bottle for eye drop bottle all the time. They are stupid. If you're near blind, you don't keep the two near each other! HELLO!Here's a link to CSI New York w/Chicago's own Gary Sinese http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5615613/
|W|P|my two cents on singapore idol:- florence must either be blind or doesn't own any mirrors if she dared show that hair on national television.
- daphne's cringingly ugly. maia's slutty. orlinda's a man. leandra should be leaving soon (that bitch massacred my favourite song).
- christopher michael lee has a bigger double chin than me.
- sylvester needs to sign up for english lessons at the british council.
- EVERYONE pales in comparison to jaclyn victor.
- ken lim is sexxxxay.
- the lutut
Mandrake|W|P|Hmm.. Sly seriously need English lessons if he wants to sing properly. FF|W|P|Have no fear. When Sly and I are married, I will teach him how to enunciate and pronunciate. Cowboy Caleb|W|P|this just insly is gay!
FF|W|P|You're wrong lor. My sister's friend knows Sly's girlfriend. |W|P|it's PRONOUNCE.. not pronunciate, jiejie.-thelutut.
I hate GV in Plaza Sing. The movie is supposed to begin at 7:05pm. Begin it did not. After half an hour of repeated commercials and sporadic movie trailers only did the bloody movie begin at 7:35pm. I'm never going there again and I am going to write a complaint letter.
|W|P|109828486647056365|W|P|Jude Law is a Hottie|W|P|ms.finicky@gmail.com
FF|W|P|Yes. That's what old spinsters do. FF|W|P|Our age difference is not so big that you would be ancient when i'm old. We're both old then. Unknown|W|P|which means I'll be a pre-historic geezer.. and miyagiman would be..? hahahaha..anyways, FF, I think you can now put complaint-letter-writing as 1 of your skills in your CV..
CatWoman|W|P|(I'm sitting here watching the Boston Red Sox kick the NY Yankees asses) FF yer killing me w/the complaint letters. FOFLOL I really am LOL! RE:previous posts, I do think William Peterson is a hunk but yer forgetting Gary Dourdan! WOW is all I can say. HE IS IN THE LENNIE KRAVITZ & THE ROCK category of WOWISH black men. (Or half breed black men). He's gorgeous to me at least. Sky Cap'n looked boring in the trailers will see it when it comes out on cable, but do agree on Jude Law being delish. Can't wait to see Alfie. Woof!Do y'all have CSI Miami and CSI New York too? I like those and Crossing Jordan another type of a show w/crime docs & P.I.'s.
FF|W|P|Woof>> It's different. Us single gals are called spinsters but you single boys are called "eligible bachelors". No one has heard of an eligible spinster before. Ptooi.MsMeow>> I should start a course on how to write a good complaint letter.
Yes they show CSI Miami as well and the other CSI with Grissom and Warrick. Is the latter called CSI New York?
FF|W|P|Sorry Puff. He's too exhausted from the romp with me last night. YOu better bring some blue pills with ya. ;) Cowboy Caleb|W|P|not good ah.lucky i didnt watch yet.
JellyGirl|W|P|I want to watch this, but dunno if I can take Gwyneth Paltrow in it. I think it depends on how much I want to see Jude Law's hotness. FF|W|P|You should watch it because our tastes in movies are completely terbalik. FF|W|P|Above comment meant for Cowboy.Jellygirl>> I hate Gwyneth, but I have to admit she was good in this one. None of a sickeningly sweet coyness. :)
Ryanson|W|P|Like who will know who the DNA belongs to?? I don't think they have a record of our DNA (Correct me if I am wrong). But fair enough that there will always be evidence left behind. FF|W|P|If I'm a suspect they will surely take a sample of my DNA. Because I surely wouldn't murder a complete stranger and let's say my ex boyfriend is found murdered, surely I will be one of the suspects oui? |W|P|it's easy to kill a bug lah, just roll some newspapers, smack and it's dead. dun need to test dna or what one. -kit FF|W|P|Muahahaaaa. It's a damn fat bug in case you forgot!
