was just looking through Cleo's 50 most eligible bachelors in Malaysia and i must say, i'm fairly disappointed. have we run out of talented, impressive, accredited young men to call eligible? from what i've read of their profiles, most of them are relatively shallow, immature and quite offensive in a few ways.

all i can say is, either Cleo's looking in all the wrong places, or, this is what Malaysian men have become. i know i may be stepping on quite a few toes here as some might know one or two of these men personally. but at times, i wonder, is this what is considered eligible? being able to go out and party, sweet talk the girls into succumbing to their 'charm', being comfortable with not going anywhere in their lives and just continue having fun til their old and grey? come on, i'm sure there are many girls out there who believe in loving a man for their stability, their integrity, their goals in life, their ability to believe in something greater than themselves.

take note, men, you do not need to impress women by being all happening and hip. it's all a phase and it's really superficial. you should not go about life thinking about how to dress up for the next party to 'hook' up with another girl, or how to say all the right things to impress them. it's all about character. girls can tell when a guy is being sincere or not. sure, they may 'hook' up with you, but only for that night. and it may very well suit many guys out there. but is this what life is gonna be 20 years down the line? girls do not bring these kind of guys home to meet their parents or to settle down with. the same way guys do not want to take home a girl that's been around the block.

wow..did this just turn into operasi train jantan part 9?

anyway...

met up with long-time friend, ms. yip shin yi over the weekend. had her, and her bf, housemate and landlord over for a small dinner party. i must say it was absolutely fabulous seeing her again. all the noisy jokes and laughs and comical reminisces we brought up. we haven't changed a bit. i guess one never really grows out of her childhood. there's always a small piece of that floating right beneath the surface, waiting to come up for air once in a while. i think she looks ravishing with her new hair, and beautiful smile. her boyfriend's lucky to have her. and he knows it.
now...all i need to do is find someone who'll think he's lucky enough to have me as well....
