Listening to: Jesse McCartney - Just So You Know.

Troubled about how to court the next chick you have? From a magazine, we got it all laid out for you in this handy guide on the top 5 loves and loathes about your courtship tactics from the girls themselves.Using the "Who what when where why how method, we've got everything written to every single detail just for you.

LOVES:
(1)Notices little things she likes and buys them for her.How to notice: She tells you it's "cute"/"pretty"/"cool" and takes a detailed look at it and repeats that it looks "cute"/"pretty"/"cool".What to do next: Express some interest in the item too. If she reciprocates with more interest in the item, she really like it a lot.When to buy: I she already is your girlfriend, buy it for her on the spot. It really makes her day. If she isn't attached to you, buy it for her the next day and surprise her with it before she buys it for herself a few days later!

Surprises:
(2)Why: Girls love surprises! Look at them when they are surprised: they are ecstatic, they scream, they hug each other, some even start to cry. Girls are emotional creatures who succumb to little pleasures in life.When: Surprise her any day. Pick her up after work even if you guys did not arrange to meet, pass by her house on a Friday night to pass her a box of chocolates for a weekend when you would be busy, etc. But do not do it on a daily basis. It will just become a routine and she'll take you for granted. (Do not tell her about this!)How: If you have a surprise gift, give it to her in a place where guys can be 'alone'. For instance, on the last bus home (where the only people on the bus are you, her, the bus driver and a guy sleeping with his mp3 player at the front of the bus) This will allow you to create that romantic atmosphere where she might want to express how touched she feels by giving you a hot passionate kiss for being so nice. (You want that too right?)Quote: "My boyfriend surprised me with a pair of diamond stud earrings on our third anniversary. Those earrings spoke volumes. He saved up his weekly pocket money to buy them. They were the symbol of love still going strong."

Calls/SMSes to show care and love.:
(3)When: It would be nice to drop your loved one a simple sms asking about her day and wishing her a great day ahead on normal occasions. Add an additional note of concern on days when she is down. 9 out of 10 girls agree that such messages really brighten their day.Quote: "I love the feeling of waking up on a lazy Sunday to his SMS with 'good morning' and a smiley face. My whole Sunday becomes a sunny day!"

Sincerity:
(4)Why: A very subjective word. To a girl, sincerity means that you show her how much you really like her and that she is the one for you. Let her know that she is the most important person in your life and that no other girl can match up to her in your heart.How: When you are out with her, make sure you keep your eyes to yourself and her only. When you bump into your female friend on the street when you are with her, make sure there's no physical contact with the friend. If you are out with a platonic female friend and bump into the girl that you are counting, make sure you make things clear to her that very night. These small gestures makes her feel important.

Good memory:
(5)Why: Girls have a good memory and they can remember every little detail of each date. Sometimes it's scary what the girls can remember. Sometime they even keep track of many time you said "bye" to her n the phone first!What: We can understand that the guys can't remember all the details but at the very least remember the important ones, like the date of your first date, kiss, and official declaration of coupledom. Not to forget, of course, her birthday as well. Guys, make an effort to remember some details alright?How: If you can't remember, write it somewhere and keep it visible. Put it behind your toilet door if necessary (it works!)

LOATHES:
(1)Teasing her name or her physical appearance. XXXX: Need we say more? This is the girl's TOP loathe! Guys, it only works amongst the male community."I hate it when he laughs at the pink birthmark on my hand. If it matters so much, choose a girl without the pink patch!""I dislike him calling me fat. At first, it was funny but too much of this really irks me!"

Bragging:(2)XXXX: Maybe we feel the urge to impress the girl but end up creating a negative impression somehow. We hear more from the girls themselves on what's wrong."Stop talking about how good your car is when it's your dad's!""A guy once told me he had a few hundred thousand in his bank account when he drives a 5 years old Japanese car. If he really were that rich, he should just buy a continental car."

Stalking:
(3)XXXX: What we deem as romantic might be seen as "stalking" to the girls. We're unsure of their view too. We ask them what not to do."A guy i just got to know actually waited for me outside my office everyday to 'accompany' me home on my train journey. It's irritating! After a long and hard day of work, I just want to have some peaces!""Waiting at the bus stop for me in the morning and pretending to bump into me. Appearing in the clubs I frequent and telling me "hey, you're here too!" It's obvious when I see the guy EVERYWHERE!"

Infringing of Privacy:
(4)XXXX: Sometimes, girls might not want to talk about certain topics. Guys, you shouldn't pester her about it."Stop asking me personal questions about my pay, my bonus ad my credit card bill. It's so personal!""One of the guys who was chasing me actually asked me if I were still a virgin on the second phone call! I slammed down the phone on him the next minute."

Flirting and Sweet Talking:
(5)XXXX: No physical contact with other girls when you are with her. Remember, "Action speaks louder than words". And we thought all girls like sweet-talking! Why the change in attitude now? We got to find out more!"I once liked someone and the first time we went clubbing together, we bumped into so many of his female friends whom he hugged and kissed to 'greet'. It really spoilt my night. I never wanted to see him again.""The guy should show he is sincerely interested to get to know the inside me better. Not by wanting to be inside my pants.""Men who sweet talk are usually flirts. If they can sweet talk me, they can do the same to any other girl. Such guys are not for keeps.""I would rather a normal, decent conversation to know him better."

I'M BACK FROM TIOMAN!





I missed DEAR so much!!! Tioman was shit. Only went snorkeling. Fishes were scary. I'm not bread ok. Don't bite me. No quarrels between cousins. Hehe. Time with them was really very fun. How long since we got together uh? Since Bali trip. Yeaaaah. Anyways, I'm so happy to be back in Singapore. Now I realised Singapore is a very clean country. Tioman is shitass dirty. CANNOT STAND IT! The whole place is infested with flies. & they are giant flies. At night, mini frogs will be all over the place. ON THE PAVEMENT WHERE PEOPLE WALK ON. Do they wanna get stepped on? RARRRRR. The accomodation is also shit. Its not even a chalet. Just a shoddy & dirty room with nothing except 2 beds. Air-con is those old-school type. Took a freaking long time to cool the room. Room is smelly & dirty. Bed had only pillows & a small blanket. The blanket is only a piece of cloth ok. FREAK. Tiolet is shitass dirty. I don't even dare to step inside without my slippers. I had the most terrible vacation. )): Only snorkeling is sort of fun. Just an experience. Goggles were ugly. But had to wear them. Otherwise the salt water will get into my eyes. RARR. Super super unglam can. Travel time is damn long.

First day is mostly spent on travel. Went to the beach around late afternoon/evening. Sun wasn't very strong. Couldn't get any tanning done. Picked sea-shells. SOOO PRETTY! Had Ramly burger. My virgin Ramly burger. OMG its so nice! I can't believe I hated it so much in Singapore! I just tried a bite of TENG'S burger, & I was hooked! Had burger almost everyday. LOL. Night time, after dinner, KEN, SHAWN & SENG decided to go fishing. I tagged along just for fun. Staying in the room can kill me. At the jetty, stars could be seen SO clearly! The night sky is so pretty. Not a sight that can be seen very often in Singapore. Its really very very nice. Thought of DEAR, took out our pics to see. At that point of time, I felt a wanting to hug him. I missed him so much. Wanted to cry again. But so many people there. Tried to control. In the end, my eyes grew hot, & before I knew it, my cheeks were wet, not from the sea-mist, but from my tears. Make-up was a little smudged, but I don't think anyone noticed. How great would it be if DEAR was there with me, hugging me, looking at the stars with me, like that time at Esplanade by the river. I'll never forget that moment, t'was so magical. So loving the feeling when he hugs me, its so right. I love PAUPAU.

Second day was snorkeling. Went to 2 places to snorkel. 1st place was to look at the fishes only. There were freaking lots of fish! & they were BIG fishes ok. Like mini sharks. Cos I was having my period, I was using a tampon, & SHAWN was like saying if the tampon slipped out, & my blood flowed out, I would attract sharks. & SENG suggested shark-fishing, SHAWN told him to use me as bait. RARRRRR! Tampon won't slip out so easily k. 2nd place we went to is in the middle of the ocean, to look at corals. The place where the boat stopped at, the corals aren't every pretty. Had to swim further. At the 2nd location, the fishes BITE. Super scary. I kept screaming. LOL. If only DEAR was there with me... Haiz... After snorkeling, we went back to our room. Went fishing a while, then had dinner. The guys wanted to go fishing again after dinner, but the tide was low, & I was kinda reluctant to go. So SHAWN said they'll go fishing the next day morning, after dinner we go back to their room, play some cards & do some drinking. Heehees. SHAWN 对我最好! Played poker, dai di, UNO. I was the one who suggested playing cards, but I didn't play much. Was talking to DEAR. (: Distance can't keep us apart. (((: I love DEAR.

Third day morning after breakfast, went to the jetty to take ferry back to Msia. Reached Msia, got aboard the coach. Slept all the way to Singapore. Lunch at Causeway Point. Went for a movie, then home.

I don't like Tioman. It wasn't what I expect it to be. I thought it'd be like Bali, with lotsa shops & better accomadation. Maybe even a few pubs. But there's nothing there. Not even a lot of people. Just a hell hole. RARRR. I hate it. I wouldn't mind if I was there with DEAR thou. =3

I wonder what is it like to travel with DEAR. I'm sure I won't be suffering so much. I wanna travel with him! I miss him.

Blog more later, dinner now. Pictures will be up later too.
