For men to take note.. for the ladies to make sure ya man is really not a gay in the making...
1. Thou shall not rent the movie Chocolate.
2. Under no circumstances may 2 men share an umbrella.
3. Any man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his fellow partygoers.
4. When you are queried by a buddy's wife, girlfriend, mother, father, priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are permitted to deny his very existence.
5. Unless he murdered someone in your immediate family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.
6. You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call BULLSHIT. (Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent).
7. If you've known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off-limits forever.
8. The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who's running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale.
9. Complaining about the brand of free beer in a buddies refrigerator is forbidden. You may gripe if the temperature is unsuitable.
10. No man is ever required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering a friends birthday is strictly optional and slightly gay.
11. Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party.
12. Before dating a buddy's "ex", you are required to ask his permission and he in return is required to grant it.
13. Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to pick a buffalo wing clean.
14. If a man's zipper is down, that's his problem--you didn't see nothin'.
15. The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.
16. A man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend's cat.
17. When stumbling upon other guys watching a sports event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing.
18. When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiny friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you'll be able to warn your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood.
19. It is permissible to consume a fruity chick drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach... and it's delivered by a topless supermodel... and it's free.
20. Unless you're in prison, never fight naked.
21. A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.
22. If a buddy is outnumbered, out manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight. Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin", then you may sit back and enjoy.
23. Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while weight lifting: "Yeah, baby, push it!" "C'mon, give me one more! Harder!" "Another set and we can hit the showers." "Nice ass, are you a Sagittarius?"
24. Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both. That's just plain mean.
25. If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you better be referring to his beer.
26. Never join your girlfriend/wife in dissing a buddy, except when she's withholding sex pending your response.
27. Never talk to a man in the bathroom unless you're on equal footing: either both urinating or both waiting in line. In all other situations, a nod is all the conversation you need.
28. If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him...too gay.
HR communicated some new policies for the new year and it's not good news. Well at least towards the Employees benefit and welfare, it's really bad news. I have been contemplating whether I want to make another career move this year or next yr and it seems it more sense to do it this year than next yr because HR introduced the 2 months termination notice and reduced the no of days carried forward has been reduced from 21 days to 7 days leave. So we such policies, I think it makes more sense for me to quit this year than early next yr. Sigh.... maybe it's a sign for me to move on. The management isn't all that good anyway and with HR becoming what it is now.... I feel... yea.. maybe i really shld move on. I never expect to make another life changing decision so soon, but perhaps it's better to be this early than later. Oh well.... I'll pray hard for a better job. At the way I see things now, I most prob try to leave in August and hope that some company will be willing to wait for me. I wonder if any company is willing to wait 2 months for me?
It's 01012006. Day one of 2006. Actually it doesn't feel all so special or different. It just feels like any other day. Perhaps now since ya working, you dont quite feel it.. coz to us working people.. it's the same everyday. Just work, work and work. Boring! ha! anyway... this year I spent my NYE @ Ministry of Sound. Let's just say I have mixed feelings for the night. I think the music was great! Darren Emerson rocks and so were the other djs of the night. The rooms were really cool and beautiful, especially the PURE room. I love the white beds and cushions, and of coz the constant change of lights. Studio 54 was nice too, with its dance floor just like Saturday Night fever.
However, i am very,very,very disappointed with how MOS managed crowd control. I think they shld learn a thing or two from Zouk. Because not only the queue was freaky long, but there was only ONE entrance to MOS. Zouk has 3, MOS 1. That's not good when you have hundreds of people queuing to go in. Not only that, their VIP/guestlist and re-entry area seriously need some rework. Zouk, you can just walk in with ya re-entry pass, for MOS, you have to wait. Wtf! We had to squeeze our way in, and shout to the bouncers to tell them we are the ones with the re-entry passes. Some idiots infront weren't and so the bouncers assumed the entire row are people who trying to get in free. Anyway, after 15 mins of screaming and shouting... kev and i managed to get in. Anyway, I dont think i wanna go MOS on special occassions. It's just madness.
But overall, I did have my fun and I guess so did everyone.
Anyway, some thoughts about 2005. Too much happened in 2005. Both in Singapore and in other countries. Again natural disaster (Katrina, earthquakes) happened, we have the NKF saga which is still on-going, sg has our very own 'ray charles/stevie wonder', the hanging of the Australian vietnamese guy, Singapore did well in the Sea Games, and of coz a better economy pick up. To me, these arent' really the highlights of my 2005. My highlight would be my first ever FULL TIME Job. The year I really kinda grew up and be independent (financially). The year that I know I'm enslaved to the working world for life. Through my job, I've learnt new things and how to handle situations and definately people. I know how it feels to have a boss who is terrible and at the same time to have colleagues that I can get along very well with. 2005 was my embarkment to my career, 2006 might be the yr I truly find something I like to do ( or so i really hope).
I think 2005 was truly a yr many would never forget, because so many things happened. I feel that 2006 will be a good year, I just kinda feel the vibes about it being good. I wish everyone a great 2006, let us try to make 2006 as a beautiful year.
