Yikes, i just turned 24. The realization of that has officially hit in. Actually, i'm taking it pretty well, cos i don't exactly feel my age. I suppose we age in thoughts, and responsiblities. But inside, we remain the same- i'm still the child i was years ago. I still cherish the same things, family, friends, passion in living life. A friend mentioned that december babies are romantics at heart. I cannot agree more on that. So, happy birthday to all december lovefools!
Me and dear have the exact birthdate! This year, we celebrated at the JEWELBOX atop Mt Faber. Dinner was great, and the view was fantastic. To top it off, there was snow! (achm, artificial foam no less, but hey, wat to expect... close enough la) Than we took the cable car, which chris has not been on for at least a decade :p Its quite creepy riding in it at night le, but that was alright. Thanks for the lovely night sweetie!
Put everything in the Lord's hand, and eventually you will see the Lord's hand in everything.
Happy Birthday!!!
MEN
Alrighty, i was told by my near-perfect boyfriend to post more of my thoughts and feelings here. After excluding out all thoughts related to science (and more science), (still science...), who am i kidding! i'm not THAT dorky! Anyways, i came across an interesting article, and i'd like to dedicate the following post, to my dearest darling, Chris. And, can i say, that i do believe you fall under the "CONFIDENT" category of Singaporean men. But they forgot "PRAGMATIC" and "CYNICAL"...
Smarter, richer – but not taller, please

WOMEN can be more educated 
and wealthier than their partners,
but preferably not taller.
This was one of the findings
in a survey of about 800 men between
25 and 59 years old, by
Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s School of
Business and Accountancy.
It found that 34 per cent of
the men had no reservations
about marrying a woman who
was better educated, earned
more, or came from a wealthier
family.
But if the woman was taller
than them, this percentage
dropped to 22 per cent.
And when it comes to the
trickiest dating question of all —
who makes the first move — six
in 10 men said it’s up to them, as
is footing the bill.
The survey also offered other
insights into the male psyche, including
some double standards.
For instance, half the men would
not marry a woman who smoked,
yet 28 per cent of the men surveyed
were regular smokers.
Twelve per cent of men found
it “forgivable” if a husband has an
affair, compared to only 8 per
cent who were willing to forgive
a wife who strays.
Twenty-one per cent said they
would not marry someone who is
not a virgin, but 31 per cent said
they were “okay” with pre-marital
sex.
Another interesting finding:
19 per cent would pay for sex,
and another 31 per cent were
agreeable to using sex toys to
enhance their sexual relationships.
The survey classified men
by their values and attitudes,
grouping men into four types —
Liberals, Chauvinists, the Confident,
and the Anxious (see box).
Said lead researcher Henry
Koh: “Most studies in the past
looked at the population as a
whole. This time we are going
for a holistic view of men’s values,
lifestyle and activities.”
The survey is the seventh
such annual survey on various
consumer groups by the polytechnic.
Oh! and i do think you are taller than me by a tad...
Well.. that should work out fine than..
