Club 30's "Kill The Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 71st Edition

tare, I read your post about the expensive cab fares and I'm really astounded at how expensive the fares are these days!
Excuse me if I'm being a tad paranoid, but I used to tell Aussies who'd ask me about Singapore, that it's a good place to visit because :
- it's cheap to take taxis (strike off list);
- cheap and good food;
- good shopping (strike off list);
- good night life; and
- it's very safe and relatively crime-free.
Looks like I'm fast running out of selling points.

Eh... Fatum, excuse me for asking but are you paying those cut-throat matchmaking agencies who will find you a nice, docile, foreign wife for an exhorbitant amount of money?Originally posted by Fatum:no lah ... I just wanted to make as much money as I can, from wherever .... it's all going towards my wifey fund kitty ....
Whilst it's nice that you want to pamper your future wife, I think having a wife should be an asset, a partnership, not a financial liability. Why would you want to shackle yourself to a high-maintenance woman?
But oh well, some men have their brains shifting down to the er... nether regions, probably due to gravity.
If you willingly want to be slave to one of those Princess types, then be prepared! -
no ... but I promised myself to give her van cleef and arpels and vera wang for our wedding ....Originally posted by Rhonda:Eh... Fatum, excuse me for asking but are you paying those cut-throat matchmaking agencies who will find you a nice, docile, foreign wife for an exhorbitant amount of money?

[b]I finally know what love is, after so many years of marriage. I gave all my money to my wife and transfer all my assets to her. I feel so peaceful now. My wife is a changed person, she feel more secure, treat me better than before.
I realize love is about giving without expectation of return.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHA[/b] -

well it's still relatively safe but with the foreign population rising... i doubt it'll last >.<
so we're left with GOOD FOOD, GOOD FOOD AND GOOD FOOD -
yes. i am living alone too long. I have those quirks where alone/lonely people likes to be organised and put things where they should be.
i see the kitchen, the 3 bottles of spray insecticide/baygon are standing together with the soy sauce, chilli sauce they use for cooking. Its opened with the lid barely push down to secure it.
the big tray next to the electric thermos flask is filled with tins of biscuits, packets of instant drinks, tea & hotel soap, shower hair covers and another bottled of opened soy sauce bottle & nin jom syrup.
And the fridge has milk, butter, leftover food and bottles of water and juice & a can of unopened wet dog food.
and the fridge looks flithy. -
not that one. an earlier case. also over some minor matter and the kid was trying to act tough in front of his girlfriend or somethingOriginally posted by Fatum:oh ? ... where did that come from ? ...
that incident outside hume park was a hwa chong kid ? .. muahahahahaha ....
the press statement by hwa chong over that incident was extremely disturbing...they painted the kid as a victim -

I rather you are saving for a rainy day for the kids.Originally posted by Fatum:and I don't mind this stress ... this is how I protect and love what's mine .... I putter around in $2 great wall brand singlets and blue rubber flip flops, but I want only the best for my loved ones ....
Because when a child is sick, vera wang, arpels or van cleef wont be of use.
I understand your sentiments, but take it from someone who had such hubby. Its great feeling for a while, but what counts is in the long run. -
Fatum, that is very good adviceOriginally posted by viciouskitty74:I rather you are saving for a rainy day for the kids.

That's so true! If I were getting married, it wouldn't thrill me to have expensive, branded gifts thrown my way. I'd much rather the money be spent in creating a decent home, and if he comes with plenty of moolah to throw around, then I wouldn't mind having two dream kitchens - an indoor and an outdoor one!Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I rather you are saving for a rainy day for the kids.

To me, diamonds, branded handbags and all that aren't of much use except for you to parade around with them. But now, a house, that definitely grows in value and is definitely an "asset".
Maybe, it's a sign of growing older. Different things thrill me now. -
when the kids come out, the focus will be different of course ... small fatums and fatumnettes will take precedence of course ...Originally posted by viciouskitty74:I rather you are saving for a rainy day for the kids.
