What kind of men appeals to me?

Someone posted this question to me and got me thinking...

I'm a bad dresser(t-shirt and jeans. Enough said) and I think I'll like a man who dresses well and can give me advice.

I'm a drinker so he has to be one. Where's the fun in drinking alone?

He'll have to be able to appreciate the simpler things in life.

Someone fun to be with. Or humorous as they put it.

Has got to be a animal lover.

It'll be good if he loves to dance and even better if he can boogie with me till the break of dawn.

Someone intelligent. Hey, I might not be good looking but I've had my fair share of himbos.

Stuff I'd like to do with Mr Right

Sometimes its the simplest things in life that brings the most joy.

1. Cook - Yes, you read correctly. I find it sweet to be cooking a meal together. I got to admit I'm a klutz when it comes to cooking and I'll probably end up doing the washing up.

2. Watch tv - I just like to be able to lie in his arms and watch tv.

3. Talk - In this day and age of high technology many of us seem to have forgotten the need to communicate. I'll never get enough of hearing him talk. Even if he's just ranting about his day at work.

4. Laugh - Laughter is the best medicine. Enough said.

5. Travel - Hopefully he'll share my dream of backpacking all over the world.

Can't think of any more. :)

Man, I feel like a woman!

Okay, I don't get it. Why is it that the boys won't let me join them when they go on a boys' night out? It not like I'm their girlfriend or something.

Given a choice, I'd choose hanging out with the boys than the girls. I hate it when girls start discussing which branded bag looks good, where they bought their shoes and stuff like that. I like to talk to guys about soccer, sports, politics and even women.

I like being able to laugh heartily, to enjoy my beer and to tell dirty jokes.

Okay, back to the point. Why can't these men treat me like a man? I won't expect you to pay for me, I don't mind you snorting when you laugh, I don't give a damn if you hit on a girl while we're out. Can't you guys just forget that I'm a lady?

Enough said. Bring on the booze like a man!

Call me crazy...

Yes, I am crazy...I'm missing my patients. The patients I nursed back to health back then when I was doing my attachment in the hospitals.

I miss working in IMH (Institute of Mental Health) though I wouldn't want to be working there for long. The work there is too stagnant and I won't get to use my nursing skills.

I miss working at TTSH (Tan Tock Seng Hospital). I get to interact with patients, patients' relatives, doctors, radiographers...etc. Thinking back, I learnt a great load of stuff during my short stint at TTSH. I really miss the patients there expecially the long staying patients.

I remember a young patient in his mid 20s who has been staying there for close to 2 yrs. He feel from a height and ended up bed ridden. I cleaned him, fed him, clothed him and even changed him. Though he couldn't speak or move, it felt like he knew who am I. He'll look at me when I move from one side of his bed to another. I used to play silly games of my own with him, running from one side of his bed to another, calling out his name, making him turn his head to my direction. Sometimes I'll just tickle him to make him laugh.

There is also one patient that I remember clearly. An old man who lives near my place. I nursed him back to health from a pretty serious back injure that left him immoble for close to 3 months. The weird thing was that I was switched from one ward to anothe during the 3 months and he seem to be following me! haha...He too, switch from one ward to another.

Working in the ward can be really frustrating sometimes when things happen and there are many people who do not practise what they preach. I get really upset when I see things like that happen. One thing that I hate is the way they stick to the rules. There are many things that can be done in another way that saves time and money but these people are so stiff!

Argh...too many things to say about work in the hospital. Got to get some work done first. Ciaos~

My deteriorating standard of "england"

I just realised how bad my command of english is.

I can't believe it! Imagine going from A1 to C6...

Must be because I hang around with too many chinese speaking people. To be truthful, my entire office speaks pretty bad english. Its painful when I read some of their emails.

Maybe I should hang out with more "proper english" speaking crowd.

Some of the things I think I should change:-

1. Go for drinks at Balaclava instead of the cheena KTV pub just next to my office.
2. Start hanging out with more caucasians.
3. Speak more English.
4. Read, read and read some more!
5. Go back to listening to Bossa Nova instead of cheena Cantopop
6. Get a caucasian boyfriend.

The last one is gonna be a tough one though...lol..

Its been quite some time since I hung out with people who spoke with an accent. My cheena friends actually think that people who speak/spoke (pardon the bad english) with accents are just some wannabes who try to hard. But I do enjoy hanging out with people like them. Okay...I'll admit it, I don't like guys with a moustache, body hair or what-so-ever, I like men with an accent. I have no idea why but I just find it oh-so-sexy. hahahas... (changing topic...lol)

One thing though...I don't like caucasians, I like asian men. Asian men with an accent. I always go googoo gaga over ABCs (American Born Chinese) or KBCs (Korean Born Chinese). The KBCs are so damn cute and they're especially delicious when they speak in Korean.

Oh dear, just realised that I might be revealing too much about myself here. Oh well...if you read my blog, I'll pray hard that we'll never get to meet or it might get embarrassing cause I suspect I might just reveal more saucy details on this little blog of mine. :p

Open Relationships

Had a chat with a friend earlier on the topic of an open relationship.

Whats your thoughts on an open relationship?

My take on an open relationship is that its a transition before one is sure that you're going into a serious exclusive relationship with someone. Its the time when you see different people while keeping your options open.

An open relationship doesn't give one the right to sleep around though...I'm all for monogamy...

Some people take an open relationship as one whereby you're with someone but you still sleep around. I think its these people who give the term "open relationship" a bad name.

To me, an open relationship is when I feel something for someone but am still unsure of where or what we're heading for. By giving each other the chance to see other people, you're actually giving yourself a chance to evaluate the relationship...

I promise...

I promise I'll not have a heavy lunch in future!

My eyelids seem to have a life of their own...threatening to block out my vision and not let me do any work.

I must avoid having heavy lunches! Must be aware of the growing waistline. ARGH! Seriously in need of a good workout!

Gym? Tomorrow? Hmm...before work or after work?

Should bring Kelpy out for a run..He's putting on the weight as well. I believe when they say the dog resembles its owner. Because he's starting to get FAT! haha...

I can't believe I'm blogging in office, something that I have never attempted before. I'm starting to slack a little too much. haha...

I feel mean...

I sit here contemplating whether to tell him that its impossible between us, I can't help start feeling like I've been such a b***h.

I've been leading him on and yet I don't feel the slightest bit for him. Yes, I have been using him, for companionship. Its only at times when I'm alone that I'll think of him.

I should stop this. There's no point in doing this to him and to myself. I must bring up the courage to go to him and let him know how I feel.

I am going through a crossroad at this point of career. Its tough and at times, I do need someone to be there for me but I can't be doing this all the time. Must let him know how I feel!

Free Flow Champagne @ Barfly!

Am feeling damn happy....Will be heading to Barfly with a couple of my colleagues later on.

Its free flow champagne for the ladies! My poison...Can already imagine myself getting really high and possibly drunk tonight.

Feelings kinda crappy right now and can't get any work done. How I wish I can just leave my work for tomorrow and head home right now. Am more in the mood to party than to work. Blahx...

I think its the approaching weekend that is making me so frisky. Can't wait to go drink/club or even stay at home for a good rest. Anything is better than having to go to work. I kinda dread going to work already.

Will have to start job searching all over again...

A New Blog

I'm starting a new blog. Its like starting a new life all over again!

Went for a walk at Toa Payoh Central with my best friend and her kid. I love being aroud him! He's just soooooo energetic! He doesn't walk, he runs! haha..I always have a hard time trying to catch up with him(the only workout that I've done this entire week).




Got tired of walking around aimlessly and took a cab to Botak Jones where we had our dinner. I think their food portions have been reduced...is it just my appetite growing or are they really reducing the portions? Hmm...good thing anyway, judging from other diners' leftovers. A voiceover in my head says, "remember mommy said not to waste food? There're people out there who haven't got enough to eat!" Kwakwa...



Guess what's amazing? He started taking photos with my handphone and they turned out to be pretty well taken! What more can you expect of a 3 yr old kid? I suspect that he's a photographer in the making! Decided that his christmas present this year shall be a camera! How about that? A camera to call his own! Reminder to self - got to look for one that is really cheap and very very shock proof..
