Suggestions please-First Dates Errors

Meeting someone new is very nerve wrecking and exciting at the same time. I have been on numerous first dates. Most of them ended up in failure, not as what I expected and some of them turn out to be jack in a box surprises.

Last week after suffering one of the worst first date in my life. I decided to compile a list on what or what no to do in your first date. I'll tell you all later about the date.

1. Never go out on a Movie on your first date.
This is very crucial when you don't even have a clue how's that special someone is and furthermore the other person doesn't know how you're like. Appearence can be deceiving. Movie is too common.

Suggestion for an excellent first date:
a) Go ice skating even both of you don't have any idea how.
b) Go bowling.
c) If its' available and your daddy is loaded, go parachuting.
d) Go jogging on the park.
Keyword here: Bonding.
Typicaly simple would be
-Dinner-
Any Tom, Dick or Harry could do this.

2. Never reveal your bad habits.
I know maybe today you got sore throat and you need to spit your lungs out. However be ladylike or gentlemen. Always be cultured. Have some class for god's sake.

3. Always be prepared for a date.
Guys, take a bath first.. that the simplest idea I can give you. No slippers, shoes+socks please.
Ladies, the way you present yourself is important. Never too sexy. I know wearing that push-up bra is very tempting. If possible be angelic, the way you present yourself will illicit the same response you will get. Let's say if you're dress up in black, and it's seems the tailor has just ran out of material for your dress. What do you get? Guys are stupid. They always think what you see is what you get- a sarong party girl.
Suggestion, wear white. If you're guys going out on a casual date wear white top with jeans. No T-shirt.

4. Never ever expose your past relationship or whatever "Friends" you have.
You might sound nice to tell your date that she is much better than your ex. This is not a compliment. People don't like comparison, they might think you are still on the rebound and still hung up on your ex.

5. Losing is also winning.
Don't brag. Never try to top your date. Let's say your date say "I'm really tired and busy today" I know the common response would be "Me too. I am also busy ... bla bla bla" Friend, here is not a place for you to find something in common and connect.
Here a simple advise. Reply like this.. "You must be tired." Be thoughtful of others' feeling.

6. Focus
Like every sport, first date is also like a game. You have to anticipate be prepared. Dont look at other people around you, especially if the was a sexy supermodel walk by you. People are really insecure about their looks. If possible turn off your handphone. No one likes to be the side order of a main course for a dinner.

7. Be honest.
I know people tend to overexaggarate about themselves. Here's the some of the lines I always here ladies tell me about their dates mistakes:
"I'll take care of it, besides I don't know what to do with my money"
"I don't really exercise, however I'm thinking of Beijing 2006"
"I'm not saying that I'm a genious but I always think IQ test was easy"

Most of the points need elaborating. Futhermore i need three more points. It's a 10 things list!

What's up with me?

How come there is no post? U all ask.

Frankly I'm sorry. There was a downcycle in my life. I got unmotivated and listless. It all started from the word

NEVER..

Never is such a big word to use. However that has come to an end. That chapter has come to close. El Comphrende!

It has come to my judgement that I myself will not use the word never. It is like an ultimatum, like trying to cheat away from death.

However like all great people, deal with it, compensate, find another way around.

Let me give my gentle readers a common example:

I will never cheat in exams.

However in this case, there are many ways of cheating, you could even be cheating indirectly even if you don't know it. Like starting early, by writing before the examiner letting you start, accidentally seeing your mates paper even you don't intend to, and even having good relations with the examiners.

What I'm trying to say here is there is no such thing as BLACK and WHITE in life.
There is always a GREY area, a buffer zone I say. Limbo, as Catholics would say.
Somehow you could be correct and wrong at the same time.

I'm not trying to educate anyone here. Freedom of speech, baby. If any of you don't like what you reading try asking your mouth to talk with my fist.

I apologise if I sound brute or uncivilised.

If you're still wondering what I am talking about, I will summarised it to you:

In life please be flexible to other people. Nobody's as pefect as you are. Humans are emotional beings.


However something wonderful happened to me starting last weekend. I can't describe much due to constant wannabe tabloids reporters in class. However ever since, my 3-points shoots in basketball has a 50% accuracy. Thats a giant leap from 2-3%

I guess GOD has a plan after-all.

Nearing the Finish Line

It's going to be another 5 months plus until my undergraduate studies is finishing. It feels really good actually, feels like I was back in Chermai Jaya and doing my final semester in Matrix. The feeling of uncertainity with prospect unknown is in the air. I'll try to leave with good memmories of this place. Try listening to Vitamin C-Graduation, you'll get what I mean(It's a song). BTW Farah(my Chermai Jaya classmate) where's my Vitamin C casssete?

The pressure in exams and projects is really tantalizing. I don't mind going here and there and looking high and low to do my stuff. It's like pushing a wheelbarrow with cement up a tall hill. I'm whistling my way up cos I know I will make it up the hill. Others are fretting themselves and anxiously asking "Are we there yet?"

"Life is like a box of chocolate. You will never know what are you going to get"- Forest Gump

I never really got what I really want in life. Somehow god, always holds the JOKER card and has his own plans, however he makes sure I always end up with a better deal in the end. This randomness and unpredictabality in my life is always perplexing to me. Now, I try not to plan, I just do my best, and enjoy the ride.

Just today, another surprise came along, I felt like I was in Form 3 again under my English Teacher class. The same words came out from my toxicology lecturer,

"If you're going to talk, I suggest you go outside."

Guess I can't stop talking wit a good companion around. Thanks for just being there.
Pam, don't worry I dont think she will send us to the Discipline teacher.

Life's wonderful. I always enjoy reminiscing. I'll know I will always remember my time here.
