Women are from Venus, men are from Mars.
"A highly effective seducer knows that every rejection is one step closer to sexual prosperity."
XD
This is an amusing quote I came across in the current book I'm reading, 'How to succeed with women'. I don't really think it's true, since alot of guys don't learn from their mistakes when it comes to seduction. However, upon discussing it with a couple of friends, I have copped quite alot of flak for even considering reading such material. Embarrassing, unnecessary, time killers, they say.
True to a degree, I agree. lol
But, interesting nonetheless. Imagine a rules book that ultimately guarantees you sex should you follow their fool-proof step by step process. Brilliant! Though absolutely retarded in concept, it makes for a fascinating read. What to look out for, what not. e.g. When calling over the phone, keep conversations short. Never call for no reason, and try to limit the amount of calls to twice per day. etcetc.
I actually agree with quite a few of the points in this book. And I do have my fair share of friends who could learn a thing or 2 from it. *grin* (You know who you are) Also, the book was made upon thousands (as-stated) of opinions and countless studies of the most effective seducers in the business. So the validity of at least some of the material has some truth in it.
Needless to say, this doesn't change the fact that it's a hilarious ride of giggles. I was thinking maybe taking this book on the LRT and opening it for all to see the title, brazingly reading aloud certain pointers such as "Chocolate helps stimulate a feeling of sensual relaxation". At this point, I'll pull out a bag of m&ms, then wink at every female within winking distance. A wiggle of an eyebrow, a blink of an eye, a pelvic thrust into the air (Okay, maybe not that last one).
Ultimately, if anyone chooses to read such a book; I actually don't discourage it. It's an important skill in life to learn to be able to effectively attract the opposite sex, and if you're just not getting it right, perhaps you can gain a few pointers from the pages in white. I mean.. if you're not interested in the whole game of love, then I think you need to re-evaluate the way you see yourself and members of the opposite sex. To love them, is also to respect them for the way mother nature intended them to be, and also the way mother nature intended you to be. Nobody hates to be called attractive, and if 'looking good to the opposites' allows you to better be yourself with more confidence in front of the people you're supposed to be attractive to, isn't it worth looking into?

Invisibility Cloak
Lets see..
Incredible. Scientists are on the verge of discovering cloaking technology, that can effectively render someone completely invisible to the naked eye. Click here for more details. Think of the possibilities when this technology is perfected. Are we ready for such technology? What use do we have for it other than militaristic?
This world just gets more interesting and dangerous by the day. Soon, when we hear that someone makes a time machine, we’ll see the fabric of reality torn asunder in a paradise of impossibility.

Lost in translation
English please
Ever hear a bunch of nerds talking in a way that sounds so intelligent and incomprehendable, they're almost demi-human? Well, here's the truth. They're talking just like you and I, except they use another language since they spend so long in front of their computer screens. I have generously decided to compile a list of codewords so that you can defend yourself from the verbal onslaught of dorks anonymous that tear our societies asunder.
Rules
- Internet friends are rarely as flawless as you think they are. They are not always that good looking, and yes, she might not be a she.
- Don't be picky about caps, or punctuation.
- To emphasise an emotion, write the face more than once. e.g. :) :)
General Terms
:) or =) - A smiley face.
:P - Cheeky face with a tongue
r - are
m - am
y - why
u - you
Cya - see ya

LOL - Laughs out loud. One of the most common internet abbreviations out there. Ironically, most of the time people use this, they're not actually laughing. It's more habitual than anything else. Consider this more as an internet smile than anything else. If they are laughing, they'll use exclamation marks to emphasise it. e.g. lol!!
Some people occasionally even use it in their 'real-life' talk, pronouncing it "lol" rather than "el-oh-el".
e.g. "And then Tom tripped over. I lolled. haha"
OMG - Oh my god.
OMFG - Oh my f*** god. Just a more extreme version of OMG, but just as common. But not generally seen as a rude statement in internet circles.
NOOB - A crude way of gamers to calls someone a lousy player (a generic form of newbie - new player). Also used in daily life to refer to incompetent people.
e.g. "He's been here so long, and he's still a f****** noob."

e.g. "After the chat, I was like.. er.. dubble-u-tee-ef. What a noob."
TTYL - Talk to you later.
ASDF & QWERTY - I don't actually know. But I see it everywhere. A fad? Someone shine some light on this for me.
BRB - Be right back.
FFS - For F*** Sake. Used to express frustration. Not generally seen as rude.
FTW - For the win. It is generally used when referring to something superior (i.e. the best choice). This is a phrase that is so popular with nerds, they use it commonly in their daily language. Usually the full version is used rather than abbreviated.
e.g.
Q) What would you like to eat?
A) Meat pies for the win!

ROFLMAO - Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. Same effect, but more elaborate, than ROFL.

Greetings!
Do something everyday that scares you, then run like hell!
Hey all!
And so I finally finished tweaking my site, and it's ready to act as my journal.
A big thanks to my dear Jie for encouraging me to get this up and going. Without her, I would have never started. Thanks to my number 1 fan and rival, Ms Jeannie Eu, for encouraging me further to continue this site, who's invaluable advice of "UPDATE YOUR PREHISTORIC BLOG" was always a driving force. Check out her site on my links. And a shoutout to Stacia, Zhi, and Daniel, for spending the time to painstakingly explain to me how to get the basics right. Last of all, but definitely not least, a hug to my niece and nephew, Ashley and Lucas, who somehow managed to drain almost all my energy and time, without the slightest objection from myself.
And so now the time has come to say, I'm not entirely sure where I'm going to go with this. I've adopted the inspiration to make this my vent, my best friend, and perhaps, my biography; so that one day I can look back and read it all in the blissful knowledge of where it would lead. I'll try to document all the thoughts and ideals that go through the maelstrom that is my mind. Brutal honesty is the best form of writing in a journal, so if I should so happen as to write something about you that isn't so nice, it isn't intended to let the masses know about how much of a bastard you are. (Though I'd probably think you are) But if you can't understand that, then I invite you to write a blog about myself. Try to link my site to your rant if you can. :D
I strongly suggest that if you come across something in my writings such as "lol","rofl","wtf" or "noob" then you refer to my abbreviations link on the side (Which I actually haven't written yet) .
In any case, I recently asked several people, both close and distant from me, this question :
"Based on what you know of me, what can you identify as my 2 weaknesses and 2 strengths?"
I gotta tell you guys.. it wasn't easy! Hearing that I lack fashion sense, personal hygiene, culture, commitment, motivation, and discipline (among other things) is quite a humbling experience. Although, some people gave some honestly stupid replies (in my opinion) . Such as :
- "Er.. a weakness.. is ah.. you like women. But that can be a strength.. I guess."
- "Your strength is that you don't suck! haha. Nah kidding. Honestly? Don't know. You don't have any. But you don't have any weaknesses either. Ya know?" "Deep."
- "You don't praise people enough." "You mean I dont praise you enough." "Yeah."
Anyway, as some of you know, I made an aspiration to reach my first million by 30. Dad said he would sing and dance in public if I can do it by 28, so I guess that's my deadline. I'm 24.
The reason for this question is for self analysis, and it'll be crucial for my goals. Suffice to say, I don't doubt I'll end up just where I want to be. I just wonder if I can beat the deadline! Enjoy the journey with me.
