While my girlfriends and I bid 2007 a fond goodbye,
we were mulling over our pathetic financial states.
So like what we said last year,
we are gonna go budget this yr when it comes to bdays.

You know wat they say abt 22nd bdays and all subsequent ones,
they're just supposed to just quietly fade into the background,
the less memorable,
the better,
because tt means
u get another excuse to "forget" ur age
or,
"under-report" :P

This means no more Glam Glam luxurious gourmet cuisine,
just the
fan-blow-until-hair-fly-everywhere-like crazy-woman coffeeshop food,

Crazy company,


and shocking revelations....

Now speaking of shocking revelations,
Bestie shocked the shit out of me when she finally admitted tt
我再也不是她生命中最重要的女人了

"If I were a guy, I wld marry Dew. Dugu ah, I'll just cohabit with her"

Following that were similar sentiments expressed by the others
with words like

fling
affair
mistress

being hurled at me.

Great.

I was just telling my fren, Wee Jie Yin,
during managerial econs earlier on
that I am exceptionally tired today
due to a sleepless night.

*sigh*

JUST BECAUSE I HAF COMMITTMENT ISSUES DOESN'T MEAN THAT I'M PROMISCUOUS OK!!!!!

Grr!!!

So I was brooding over my image today,
and of cos I considered putting what I learnt from ESAP to use- Impression Management

But before I embarked on such drastic measures,
I thought I'd take on Ms Alicia's suggestion and expand my sample size first.

So I leaned forward,
prayed tt Manfred,
my sexy,
balding,
chikopek ME lecturer did not notice me,
and popped the question to Mr G.

"Will u marry me?"

"Let me see the ring first."

-_-!!

"K la, let me think abt it."

A few seconds later, my hp vibrated.
I opened my inbox,
and this was what I saw

<< Yes :) >>

I am going to sleep well tonight.
Finally.

*phew*

You know,
althoh I've ascertain for myself today that I do not come across as an indecent girl,
the kind that mothers hate and fathers like,
I did learn sth about the girls and I.

We are really,
closet MCPs.

Wowo, my pretty girlfren made this comment

"k la k la if u're willing to give birth, I will marry u la"

while Tang tang, the girl in a man's body said this to me last night

"老婆娶了放在家里不需要穿衣服的吗。Maintain 那个家等我会来就够了"

Yes, thank goodness they're both ladies.
Hate to think of the fate of their wives if they were married men.
Just imagine,
one getting married for the soul purpose of procreation,
meaning what?
Treating the wife as nothing more than a child-bearing machine?
And the other,
even worst,
expects the wife to be a full-time sex-worker and part-time maid.

I digressed :X

My point is, even myself,
if I were a guy,
would not marry someone like myself.

Because I'd want someone gentle and soft,
to shower me with tender loving care,
and my herd of children with motherly warmth,
a nurturing,
empathetic,
smiley woman who bakes the most delicious cookies
and a very friendly,
rounded,
protruding rump.

It's the traditional woman that comes to everyone's mind.
A girlfriend is a completely different thing altogether thoh.

And it's sth interesting to think abt,
that even girls,
if given a chance to be in a man's shoes,
will instinctively crave for the power to lord over women.

And if you do think further,
does this mean tt deep down inside,
we females actually accept this unequal,
arbitrary power difference?
