Expectations, Promises.

It’s common for a couple to quarrel, but why? Let’s look at both side of the story.


男人：说就天下无敌，做就无能为力。
Face it boys, we all have too much ego. Regardless whether successful, unsuccessful, or useless, all boys have an ego that is waayyyyy more than their capabilities (including me, sadly). When a boy talk, he talk BIG, usually at least 1.5-2x of what he is capable of.


女人：我希望的不是很多，我只要你爱我。
This is a very big trap, “不是很多” and “我只要你爱我” do not have a specific number attached, girls think that their requirement is very simple and basic, but seriously, girls’ expectations are really hard to live up to. They just don't know that subconsciously they are really expecting a lot. Even when girls say that they don't expect boys to do 'something', deep inside they still hopes that boys would do that 'something'. When that 'something' doesn't happen, girls get disappointed and it's the boys' fault again.

The gap between reality and fantasy is called expectation.

So, boys talk big, girls expect. The image portrayed by boys’ ego is already 2x of what he’s capable of, and girls expects roughly 2x of the image she see, so in total, the girl expects 4x of what the guy actually can/will do.

This result in boys constantly falling short of girls’ expectations, by way a lot. That’s called disappointment, by the way.

Note: we are not talking about Singaporean golden cheese pies here, SG-GCPs follows a simple rule: more $$$ = better.

People say love is complicated

I just identified one of the reasons why I am still single: I do not have MN1101 – Money $$$$$, the pre-requisite for LV1101 – Love and Women. Ya sure, everyone says “you don’t need money to have a girlfriend”, but hey, they say god exists too.

Let me break down the expenditure for a basic, simple, easily contented girlfriend.

Monthly:

In our minimalistic model, let’s say the couple goes out just once per week, and summing up the miscellaneous expenses (meal, movie, koi, etc), that’s at least $40-50 per week, that adds up to approximately $160-200 per month.

Special occasions:

There are several special occasions when you’re attached, Valentines’ day, Christmas, Birthday, and random Anniversaries. For our minimalistic model, let’s say you get a bouquet of flowers, a small gift, and a meal to celebrate.

Bouquet of flowers (small): $50-$100
Small Gift: $50-$100
Meal: $50-100
Total: $150-$300

Annual Fee: $160 x12 months + $150 x4 special occasions ≈ $2500 per year.

$2500 per year, that’s 4x the amount I have in my bank account. Now, the girls will probably defend themselves by saying “I don’t need my boyfriend to spend that much what”. C'mon, these calculations above are very minimalistic, assuming the cheapest items like food courts, fast food for normal meals, normal entry level restaurants for celebrations.

Now, remember we are talking about a MINIMALISTIC model, and we took the lower limits for the calculations. Singapore girls as we know, are on average pretty high maintenance, so it’s not MN1101 and LV1101, it’s MN2301 and LV 2401, with the annual fee multiples of what we calculated.

Now here comes the interesting group: the atas undergraduate girls. Simply put, they are basically LV4601-GCP – Love and Golden Cheese-pies, with pre-requisite of MNC4900-FIR – Money, car, and Father-is-rich. The grade you have for MNC4900-FIR, determines the grade you get for LV4601-GCP.

Basic gradings:

-not rich, stays hdb,
-don’t have car
-take bus to school,
→ you do not have MNC4900-FIR, pre-req not fulfilled.

-pretty rich
-family has car,
-usually take bus to school, sometimes drive,
→you have MNC4900-FIR, grade C; you are eligible for LV4601-GCP, grade C.

-rich, stays in condo or landed property,
-have a personal car
-drives to school
→you have MNC4900-FIR, grade B; you are eligible for LV4601-GCP, grade B.


-fucking rich, landed property worth 10mil
-have branded sports car, porsche, audi or anything expensive
-drives your sports car to school daily
→you have aced MNC4900-FIR; LV4601-GCP, grade A will throw themselves to you.

So, people say love is complicated, it's not really that complicated, just pre-requisites and calculations.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing everybody a happy valentine's day！

For those attached, hope you and your darling can 細水長流。
For those single (incl me), hope you find your "The One" soon!
For those "it's complicated", c'mon and figure it out already!

Here's a really cute mv for you guys!



叮噹 and 阿信 looks so cute in this MV.

And of course 叮噹 is damn chio! ^ ^

Me and girls = Φ

I'm still thinking about who I am and what I want to be. One thing I figured out is, I am a pretty lousy guy to pick for girls. You see, I am so lazy and nua to the extend that laziness/nua-ness index → ∞. Like duh, I should have known, but ego was in the way. Girls really don't like guys who are lazy.

Side note: Ego is a very irritating thing. The need to feel superior to other people; it exists in everyone. My ego is quite damn high, sadly.

Oh another thing. Atas vs Ah beng. I have to face the fact. Most chio bus are really damn atas, and being a chao ah beng is damn far from atas. But atas need money to maintain, that's why it's called atas in the first place. Dunno what's "atas"? Refer to this link.

I know there is the need to change. And i did say "don't just hate yourself, work hard to be the person you want to be." Maybe for the laziness/nua part i can do something about it. I need some real good motivation. No, keep telling yourself "you can do it", "this must be done" etc etc doesn't work anymore, I've been doing that for god knows how long. One possible option is to random hoot a girlfriend, and use that as a source of motivation. Wait, wtf idea is that?

The real problem is, I have been a ah beng for damn long. Ok, just to clarify, I don't really qualify to be a full fledged beng, but compared to the nerdy/atas undergrads around, I am sibei cao beng. Anyways, the beng part is the tough one. I've been living beng-ly for god knows how long, I really don't know how to live as a professional/atas/act-cool. And another problem to that is $$$$$. Pre-requisite for atas-ness is money: get your clothes from zara, a macbook, a iphone 4, or prolly even a crumpler, all of these requires money, loads of it. Oh yes, did I mention I hate atas people?

Ok, maybe I've exaggerated a bit here and there, I always exaggerate, it's fun. But you have to admit, the fact is not far, I blown it up by just a bit.

PS: maybe I should start changing by doing the 6 tutorials waiting to be done . . .
