Date.
date1
noun, verb, dat⋅ed, dat⋅ing.
–noun
7. a social appointment, engagement, or occasion arranged beforehand with another person: to go out on a date on Saturday night.
2 single people met for the first time – date
2 single people met for the first time, click well, met again – second date
2 single people met for the first time, click well, met again, held hands – sweet date
2 single people met for the first time, click well, met again, held hands, had sex – hot date
2 single people met for the first time, click well, met again, held hands, had sex, had more sex – dirty date
So, at which point do we
a) consider we’re (still) on a date
b) move on being friends (do we still call it date or ‘I’m just going out with friends)
c) move further on being fuck buddies (I’m just meeting a friend)
and the thing is we’re actually both comfortable with such arrangements, not a word of ‘I miss you’, rather just about which movie we’re watching next.
We held hands, we hug, we kiss, we cuddle, we fucked.
Are we still on a date?

Totally Random
So, I am back. After 3 trips, decreasing number in the bank account, and increasing boredom (with work).
Was on the way to facial on one of those shitty rainy weather weeks ago. With my accident prone ear(plug) phone on, I couldn’t hear someone walking behind me. His pace was fast – he wasn’t carrying a brolly – and soon he was ahead of me. I could see his mouth moving with no noise coming out; thinking he might need some help with direction (he’s a foreigner), I took out my earphone.
“you have got a lucky face” was the first thing I heard.
“erm thank you” was all I managed.
“you know why” came next.
A smile from me followed.
THEN another man walked up to him for direction and intercepted.
That was the end of it……..
Because I had to cross the road!
So yeah, I don't suppose I will ever find out the reason...

Career
I had never been one whose ambition in life was to be someone great when it comes to career. Instead I had grew up to believe that one should enjoy what one does and as long as the $$ is what you deem okay (which perhaps never is), that's all good. We spent most of our time a day at work, if you're stuck with something that you have totally no interest of, wouldn't that be sad...
Now into my 5th company (in slightly 2.5 different scopes of work), I reckon I had pretty much settled into the industry that I am happy with. The thing now is how I should "upgrade" myself and perhaps garner as much knowledge as I can (while I am young that is).
Working overseas - that had been my thought for some years now, even though I didn't quite dig hard into it. The lack of motivation was also due to the fact that my skills and experiences are not deem as "skilled" in other countries. Anyhow, the "opportunity" came about a month or so ago... a local office was keen to have me join one of their overseas branch. I was all hyped up and totally excited. BUT after months of emails bouncing over two countries, things haven't seem to move on as fast as I wish it would. I must say all my excitment had gone a little downhill.. but I'm still keeping my finger crossed and pushing a little now and then, hoping that the office would not be so busy and could squeeze sometime for me.
Wish me luck in getting my fat ass over there...

Sex
or rather the lack of it.
(this is a totally random entry, the flow doesn't seem smooth, well I was totally distracted by the topic!)
Gosh, it had been ....... nevermind counting, it had been THAT long since I find myself waking up next to a naked man. What happened to the days of FB!!
Okay, I drew to some conclusion of my lack of sex
a) men don't like sleeping with fat women (ie me)
b) men prefer to sleep with the slimmer me (years ago)
c) no social life = no men = no sex
d) ex-men got married and became good boy (or found some other women to be naught with)
e) cant get men I want
f) men who called - not exactly good in bed
Shouldn't single be having more sex (fun sex in fact!)?? No strings attached is a great concept, with no stress, you would enjoy more fun eh! Frankly, do we have more sex when we're in a relationship? I know I don't. In fact, I recalled having to date a guy for couple of months and we never did have sex (a first for me) and yet, we made up only later a year after we had gone our separate ways.
Speaking of sex with partners, I always belive in test driving (and of course safe sex).
Sex is important bond between two people, imagine you are so in love with a partner, yet sex was bad. And having the need (everyone have!), you resulted to being unfaithful - doesn't that sucks. On the other hand, sex could bond the couple better... Even in these days of fashion magazines and internet, there are women who had never experienced orgasms - come on! how sad is that. Men are only to blame for that, being all selfish to satisfy themsleves and not their women.. tsktsktsk. Sex is about two people, if you care only for yourself, masterbates works better for you......
so well if you believe in sex before marriage - remember - test drive!
and make sure you get them in multiples!
