10 WRONG reasons to GET MARRIED

I'd rather be stabbed in my eye with a 5 foot pole than get married at 24!!!!

@#$%^& I find 5 of my gfs getting married this year. All of them are 24. That freaks me out! It scares the shit out of me. 24 is the year of freedom, the year of self celebration! I question myself if its the "sour graped" me speaking and I guess, maybe I'm being very close minded. *knock knock* Just because I can't imagine myself walking down the aisle with my father "relieving" himself of his duty to take care of (and feed me), doesn't mean my friends haven't reached that mental maturity....

Here I dispense top 10 reasons you should not use to get married

1) All my friends are getting married, it must be my cue...
Wake up your idea, girlfriend! Who cares if your friends are getting married!??! This is a once in a lifetime thing, so if you haven't found that special someone, don't rush.... as Phua Chu Kang says it best, DON'T PWAY PWAY!!!!

2) I better get married before my and my bf's income exceeds $8K (cannot ballot for HDB flat anymore!!!!!)
Honey, if you marry the wrong person, the procedures for signing the divorce/annulment papers will set you back a couple of wedding rings.

3) I want to live away from my parents.
Yeap, living away from your parents and "feeding" yourself probably means, welcome to your new life of lifelong mortgages and an unending stream of debts (think weter, electricity, car, furniture installments).

Yes, THINK AGAIN. Do you really wanna get weaned off your parents???

4) If I tie my bf down then he won't cheat on me anymore (if he already is or has not yet)
Girls, men don't change after marriage. If they do, it's NEVER for the better. Shackling them down means shackling yourself down. Why settle?

5) Doesn't matter if divorce, I get 50% anyway
Yeah, just that if you do get divorced, the chances of you finding another man that's eligible and willing to overlook that is 50% also.... (not saying that all divorced women are bad, depends on situations right?)

6) I can have parental consent for "premarital sex"
Yeap, you've just signed your own consent form to being the lifelong "slave" of a testosterone molecule oozing of ego. Yeap, you also have consented to, like I said paying all your bills yourself, washing your husband's underwear, washing the house, washing the floor, ironing a mountain of clothes, cooking dinner and meals for 2 people.

7) No more excuse or disapproval to stay overnight at his place
R you dumb or R u dumb? Would you give up 2 houses for 1?

8) Sounds fun! Never tried it before! I'm adventurous! Plus it come with a free diamond ring!!!
Yup, if you like adventure so much, go live in the Alcatraz. Free diamond ring? More like your payment to sell yourself to slavery.

9) I can be a tai tai and talk cock sing, song and play mahjong all day long!
Wat to talk cock? Go find the ah peks at the coffeeshop, wanna play mahjong, come find me, want to sing song ... go Kbox can? More worth it...

Life AFTER marriage?

10) I want a baby as a pet!
I'm sure you do. I mean all you have to do for this new pet is wake up every 2 hours to let him nibble on your tits, wipe it's shit filled stinky ass and burp spoilt milk in your face. Y not?

Anyways, the above was said in jest, nothing meant to demean the married or make fun at the soon to be wed. Apologize if I offend anyone... just something I thought would give singles a pretty good laugh....

9eek 9oddess meets CAST OF HEROES! Xclusive Meet & Greet

I MET THE CAST OF HEROES! YES! IN SINGAPORE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL! I got to talk to them, interview them and take tons of pics!

When Nokia invited me for an exclusive meet & greet session with the cast of heroes I jumped at it. Like HELLLLLOOO EEAAARRRTTTHHHH!!!... eh give you meet stars free of charge don't want ah? Mad! I've been a fan of Heroes since forever and wth, with a lethal combination of good lookers, what was there to not want? Moreover, I got to meet Claire Jedrek (yes deal or no deal girl!)

Basically, I was told that this vodcast would be almost fully filmed on the N95 phone and I would be able to live my dreams as a cast of heroes. You see, when i think Heroes right, I think of Hiro saying "yaaaataaaa" and disappearing or Peter Petrelli jumping off the building.

Firstly: NO WAY AM I JUMPING OFF A FREAKING BUILDING -- sorry but I'm KIASEE!

Secondly: I AM NOT GOING TO BE PUT IN SOME TIME TRAVEL MACHINE AND TELEPORTED ANYWHERE.. (AT THIS POINT I THNK OF THE SHOW "THE FLY" WHERE THIS GUY TELEPORTS FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER AND IN THE END TURNS INTO A HIDEOUS FLY!)

BUT then, thinking about turning down an offer to meet the cast of HEROES, was worse then being turned into a fly plus jumping off a bridge, so without hesitation, I was like

"OK YAAAY I GET TO MEET HEROES!!!!"

Well, of course after that I learnt that with the video editing software included with the N95, Claire and I could adopt the skills of the heroes and be teleported anywhere - anytime!

Unfortunately, only 4 of the stars came, but early at 7AM in the morning, I was at Goodwood park hotel, all ready to get going with my bunch of questions.

Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy)

I can tell you for sure that by far he was the most charismatic personality there. Apart from his dashing good looks and his to die for charm, I was swept away by his silent presence. He didn't say much to any of us, but who am I to know, I was probably awestruck by his million dollar smile!

Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka)

yaaatttaaaaaa! I love hiro, yes not because he is drop dead, but he's just so cute!!! I just want to pinch his rosy cheeks!!!! I love him, he's so tiny, and he doesn't speak in that jappy accent like he does in the TV Series... He speaks perfect American English! OMg basically he's just an overgrown baby! -- not in the bad sense though...... I want to keep him at home!!! You know the chinese say to "yang3 ta1".. meaning to rear him.

But seriously, despite the babyish exterior. He spoke sense -- Lesson from him: every one is a hero, you don't need no special powers like teleportation to change the world we live in. The moment we touch the life of someone else, we're already a hero to that person! (You can hear more of his words of wisdom in the Vodcast below)

ALI LARTER (NIKI SANDERS)

She was HOT! Enough said right? She did, although go to the bathroom like 4 times in a span for like 2 hours or so.... or maybe it was 3 hours, the entirety of the press conference. She hasd rock solid body, well toned arms... ok la. I swear her blonde hair looked gold. I loved the way she had her hair in locks... oh well, she was just really pretty can? One of those genetic anomalies (ok I'm starting to sound jealous here!) But really, she was the ice-iest of them all, perhaps to portray that ice princess feel... the guys still swooned -DUH-

Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman)

Greg was by far the most friendly, although he isn't as drop dead as Mohinder Suresh. He talked the most, made jokes and basically mingled around with everyone. In the vodcast you can see below, I actually get to interview him and ask him a question. Basically, he was bubbly, chatty and really did not have any airs around him.

Of all the stars that we got to mingle with that day, Greg by far was my favourite.

I just like his down to earth attitude. Yea ok I might seem damn freaking shallow or what oogling at the super cute people, but really Greg won by a mile at the end of the day... Greg was just like any other person la, basically.

Anyway, as I was saying, since this meet and greet for Claire and I was fully sponsored by Nokia in their bid to help promote the Nokia N Series phones, this vodcast was all about our interview with the cast of heroes, how Claire apparently makes me dissappear, and how the N95 can help us with video editing. The N95 comes with software to edit your video, and as you can see, after the nifty video editing, it seemed like ...

Claire and I could adopt the skills of Hiro -- being able to teleport at will! CHECK OUT OUR VODCAST AND INTERVIEW BELOW!

With that said, make sure you watch this vodcast above. You see me with Claire meeting the heroes and how she pretends to keep me in suspense!!! This vodcast is just 1 of 14 vodcasts done by Nokia, so if you're keen on following the whole series, or just watching more of eye candy, Claire, click here!

I can't wait for Season 3 to be out! Heroes-- long live heroes!!!

Signs that SHE LOVES YOU (things a girl WILL NOT admit to)

Sorry girls, I have to give away our secret. Surefire signs to show a girl loves a guy. How do boys know you care for them even when you don't say it? Sometimes, it take more than words to prove your affection.. diamonds are a girl's best friend, but what a girl really wants is for that special someone to make them feel more than diamonds.

(Sandwiched between us is Desmond, our toy boy for the day!!)

You all know Nadnut and I went shopping for V DAY gifts and such right? As much as we did have great fun "bitching" together, really what was important for us girls was that in the end it's not what you say, but what you do that counts...

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A GIRL (TRULY) LOVES YOU? (EVEN IF SHE NEVER SAYS IT)

1) She is interested in your life. (NOT JUST YOUR BANK ACCOUNT)
The girl wants to know who you are, what you believe in and what you have been up to. No, and this doesn't mean she is possessive, (unless she really really is). She wants to listen to you when you talk and share with you your experiences.

2) She likes your friends/family and wants to "hang" with them
You are only as close to your gf as you are to her gf. So in that same vein, she, wanting to hang out with your friends shows that as much as you like them, so does she. Even better will be when she makes the effort although you know she dislikes them. As long as it pleases you..

3) She tells you how wonderful you are (even if u are a douchebag)
Because with all your imperfections, she still thinks that you are her knight in shining armour, even if the world doesn't believe in you, she does.

4) She cares about what you think and wants your opinion
Boys, don't mistake this for insecurity. In fact be flattered that she has factored you in her decision making process. If you weren't part of her life, why in heaven's name would she give a flying ratsass!???! Don't see it as a chore when she asks for your opinion, even if you see it as trivial, it is not to her.

5) She isn't ashamed of you
I can't further emphasize this. I used to remember the days when on dates my ex bf preferred going to isolated places. I thought he was being romantic and all but when my blinded eyes started seeing, it was apparent that he didn't want to be caught out with me. (ohhh and I thought I was a prize then, how wrong!!!!) So if your gf isn't ashamed of you, she wouldn't hide you.. no matter what the excuse is)

6) She gets upset when you say the most insignificant things
"Ooooh I saw a hot girl today.." Yes, maybe she might reek of hyper-possessiveness but if your girl didn't react to you drooling at another bombshell, doesn't that mean she couldn't care less? Even a small sulk to show her displeasure should rubs your already exploding egos.... (if you're buttasswipedouchebag ugly then it might be another story if she ignores your comments altogether, perhaps she knows no one else will fall for u)

7) She takes care of you (and your shrinking wallet)
It upsets her when you miss lunch because of work, or if someone says something nasty about you. She defends you when some old fart insults you. She doesn't want you to splurge on her because $$$$ can be spent on better things. She doesn't demand presents all the time (of course surprises once and then are nice). She wants the best for you, she cleans up after you, and hates u doing things to yourself that are self effasive like drinking or smoking...

8) She's happy around you
Even if you're both doing nothing -- just lying in bed or next to you, you know she is happy. A smile says a thousand things, a sparkle in her eyes tells u everything.

F0r those interested, this a clip of us girls playing dress up, all for the fun of it!
