Why Ladies Today Are Still Single
Got this from a friend...
=================================================
1. The nice men are ugly.
2. The handsome men are not nice.
3. The handsome and nice men are gay.
4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.
5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have No money.
6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think
we are only after their money.
7. The handsome men without money are after our money.
8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.
9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.
10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some
money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!
11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.
NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?
"Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our
job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into
something you'd like to have dinner with."

Cookies!!!
As you can see, tiggie, fatgirl and I baked many cookies! Was really fun mucking around in the kitchen. The bottom two trays of cookies were decorated by me. I had a lot of fun doodling with the icing.
Should do this with my friends more often. :)
My New Baby
OK, not that new actually 'cos I got it end Nov, but just that I didn't have a camera to take a photo of it at that time. Last month, I also bought myself a Canon IXUS 850 to replace my IXUS 400 which decided to malfunction after being with me for three years.
So anyway, I got this hybrid (carbon blade and wooden shaft) outrigger canoe paddle from Xylo, an outrigger canoe paddle manufacturer from Australia. It didn't come cheap - my paddle and camera set me back $1000! I feel the pinch. Ouch. But I've been using my own paddle ever since and I've been enjoying my paddles a lot more! :)

Happy New Year
OK, I've been really lazy with this blog of late, and I really should start off the new year on a better note.
But first, just a little on 2006. Overall, it was a good year. I got to do two things I've always wanted to do - see the Terracotta Army in Xi'an and take a cruise down the Yangtze River. I was also lucky to be able to go to Boston on a work trip. I learnt how to steer a dragon boat and an outrigger canoe. I ran a half-marathon. I made new foodie friends. I matchmade a couple! The low of the year was of course the death of Rex, my collie.
New Year's Eve was a rather subdued one spent at home with two of my oldest friends, tiggie and fatgirl. They came over to my place and we baked cookies just for the fun of it. Pictures of the cookies to come! We baked way into the night, until about 2am! What better way to start off the new year than with food, right? We also opened a bottle of Shiraz when the clock struck midnight. From my home, we could see some of the fireworks coming from Marina Bay. Very pretty.
Earlier in the morning of 31 Dec, I had gone outrigger canoeing. We paddled to St John's and because one part of the island is a restricted area and we paddled past it, the navy apparently got all frazzled up and decided to send the police coast guard to check up on us. Apparently, they thought we were trying to smuggle ourselves in from Indonesia. The six of us had our personal particulars taken down by the police coast guard. Geez.
Anyway, no resolutions made yet for 2007 but I really should draw up a list and rethink my life. Meanwhile, Happy New Year to everyone!
