I swear, taxis are the devil in disguise. Every time I hop on one, I’m shortening my life span by a few years because my heart stops beating each time the price meter jumps at an unbelievably frightening rate!

Yet, they’re a lifesaver during moments when you’re extremely late for school, work or meetings with friends LOL! Again, I took a cab back this afternoon from Bukit Panjang to Punggol as I was lazy to take the bus home. I’ve probably minus-ed 10 years of my life savings in just these 4 days, shuttling between far flung locations like Revenue House and other meeting places situated at the North Pole, in those money-munching monsters.

Goodness, Singapore isn’t so “small” when you’re in a freaking taxi!

Anyway, I’m going to relate certain “chat/pick up lines” used by girls these days.

1) Girls when they’re together.

A: “Hey B, whats my handphone number ah?”
B will then shout it out loud. Its so obvious what they’re trying to do. But hey, its not as if the guy’s going to bother taking down your number (unless he is that desperate), in fact he’ll probably think you’re a complete ditz for not remembering your own contact number(LIKE SHIRLEY!! HAHA YOU RETARD!)

2) Girls will again linger around hoping the guy will make eye contact with them and when he does, they’ll smile at him. Or if they’re in groups, they will blatantly “dare” each other to talk to the guy. Then they’ll go squealing off as if they won the world cup. Or in worst case scenarios, they’ll simply go up to the guy and just ask for his number.

3) Girls will begin talking out loud nonsensically, deliberately making themselves an attention magnet. Admittedly, guys are always guilty of this as well.. doing stupid exaggerate things with the hopes of getting that certain person’s attention. Truth is, it's plain annoying, not cute.

4) They’ll go “old school” and slip you notes with little messages, signing off anonymously or leaving their email address. I personally think old school style is quite cute. In a generation of modern technology, anything that has that personal touch always adds that something different.

5) Some girls will hunt the guy down on friendster/facebook/blogs. There’s a high chance of finding that certain person online.. all you really need is the guy or girl’s name and school. And in Singapore, EVERYONE is somehow connected to each other.

Hmm… What kind of pick up line or method would YOU use if you want to get to know a certain person you're interested in?

Girls these days are showing way too much skin. Not that I’m complaining, I believe in “flaunt it if you’ve got it”. Besides, if any guy seriously doesn’t do a double take at any girl who wears a little too little, he’s either attached to a damn lucky girl or he’s officially gay.

Now girls, before you start accusing guys of being perverts ogling you, be honest with yourself because I’m pretty certain your very intentions when picking your choice of clothes, is to be looked at.

But here’s the thing, where do you draw the line of decency?

I used to think miniskirts were quite an outrageous piece of clothing but apparently, the length of shorts girls put on these days are even way more revealing. I’ve got to say individuals who put on such shorts have a heck lot of guts! But girls, really, don’t you feel as if you’re walking about half naked?

I mean, the shorts you girls wear these days are literally challenging the definition of the word itself! And there are even those who wear like extremely short shorts under their already tiny dresses which makes them look as if they’ve got nothing on under the dress.

Seriously, don’t you feel as if you’re parading around in just your knickers? Isn’t it awkward having people stare at your body parts or are you secretly enjoying the attention? Why do you need to wear such non-existent clothing to flaunt your features (if you even have any to show in the first place) when a simple piece would do?

You may or may not know this but there are repercussions to your actions. You want to look sexy, but you might be attracting the wrong attention or be perceived as a slut. And hypothetically speaking (I really hope it won’t ever happen to anyone), if you get molested or worse, you too are at fault.

If being seen as someone hot in the eyes of the male population is your true intention, there are a lot of ways you can go about it, there are so many styles of dressing you can experiment with. Showing more skin doesn’t always equate to you being sexier. And just for the information of ignorant ones, showing your butt crack is disgusting!

If you were to ask me what I find sexiest about a girl, I’d say confidence. A girl who is able to carry herself really well, who is articulate and eloquent, who has her own style, simply a girl who knows who she is and proud of it... that’s sexy.

Emotions and moods.

These are the very spoilers that destroys a relationship.. It’s essentially either the mood of wanting to be left alone or just wishing at times, of having someone there to accompany you, to talk, or just having her lay her head on your shoulder for comfort.

Sometimes, I just want to be by myself. The selfish ol' guy with no concerns in the world; with just plain narcissism to boot instead. I call it freedom, people call it bachelorhood, mother-in-laws call it inability to initiate a marriage proposal. Haha..

But yet, there are occasions where I wish there was someone there beside me -someone close, to hug, caress or hold a hand. Affection and warmth. Just to be cuddly. Emotions are weird!

Anyway, i think i need to find an activity partner; we can do sports or any other form of crazy things with..!

Maybe even shopping..! Like go on a journey to hunt down all places of good buys! Shopping partner, anyone? I say amen to discounts and marked-down prices!

I NEED AN ACTIVITY BUDDY!!!

This is one of my favourite poems by William Shakespeare.
Justin's sidenote: Shakespeare is a fine example of how one man can immortalize himself. And cause immense suffering to Literature students hundreds of years after he's dead.

Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

Sassy eh? Teasing.
I've always like romantic poems, but this one just stuck with me.
It didn’t have the usual mushy stuff, but it pokes fun at his love. It's amazing how he can turn everything around with one verse though. It goes from funny to romantic in an instant.

Oh, I love it.

There's another of Shakespeare's sonnets that I love too. Strictly romantic, but that shall be kept to myself. Way too mushy. Reduces me to a gooey puddle.

I was going through my notebooks. Can you believe that I still have my notebooks dating all the way back to 2003?

Haha. The crap that I came up with man. Making up time lines when I was bored. Writing poems, short stories. It's entirely no surprise that my teachers were always reprimanding me for not paying attention in class.

Anyway, I was looking through my notebooks, and saw this phrase I wrote down in 2006. Don't remember who it came from, but it reflects on everything that I've done in life. And now at the crossroads of my life, this phrase comes back to haunt me.

Be great in act, as you have been in thought.

For such a short phrase, it packs a lot of power, don't you think?

Nonetheless, I will LEARN to love you, English Literature.
