26 November, 2007 - Classes in Tiong Bahru

Woke up at 6.30am this morning and dar sent me to Tiong Bahru for class. I miss being a student heh heh went for classes sans make up today just to feel like a student :p Met Amy for breakfast at Ah Kun at 8am and both of us are like zombies..

Excel never fails to amaze me, period. I like the bit about how to do the sub-totals and data validation...zeh mo steady lei knowledge is power hahaha but there are so many formulas and functions to remember...i hope i will be able to remember whatever i have learnt to last til Friday. Lunch with Fenn, Amy, Chinyiang and Catherine today at the food court. Topic was about how bitchy the banking industry can be & how Singapore men are enamoured by girls from China. Will you sleep with your client in order to close a big deal? Apparently, some women do and in the banking industry, it's all about keeping up with appearances. Maybe when you are young and impressionable, it seems ok to throw caution into the wind and sleep your way up. But then again, i think it's all about personal upbringing, morales and integrity. I know there should be no grey area about this issue but i really think it's a personal choice...so we should not judge.

Why are women from China seemingly more appealing to Singapore men? Or rather, are Singapore women losing our charms? The other day, both Edwin and Alex said girls from Singapore are so materialistic and high maintenance...and Singapore girls have a "say" (read in hokkien). Daryl mentioned something about prefering girls not from our sunny island too and his wifey is from KL ;) What's up with our men? Is it THE retaliation from our men? For so long, female magazines have ran articles after articles about how unromantic the average Singapore men were as compared to their western counterparts. (like i am a closet spg...) Anyway, i heard our sisters from China or anywhere else in asia are gentle to their men and are "sai nai" enough to make men feel like really manly. Perhaps this is something we need to learn :p

Saw this on Richard's msn -> "Men are like dogs, they need to be trained" hahahahaha coming from a man, it's funny

Went to Mt Alvernia to visit Pearline this evening, baby Nic is so cute and red..here is another unsuccessful natural birth switch to cesarean birth..when i hear her describe the process, my knees felt wobbly. I hear things like contractions, cut, pool of blood, stitching, injection, pain...my knees really felt weak and i think my heart must have skipped a beat. I am glad my biological clock, or rather the lack of it, is not ticking.
