For reasons I’m not going to go into here, I’ve recently been dissecting the Singapore Women’s Charter. I find it diffcult to believe that such a document is still held to as a standard of law, given the backward nature of some of its declarations. Though that isn’t to be entirely unexpected of a document ...
I saw this posted online. Probably not the most appropriate, but it certainly is one perspective. I suppose this further reinforces the misguided percetion of Asia from the West.

A friend of mine just pointed out that the word “vagina” in French is actually masculine. You say “un vagin” and not “une vagin”.Something to think about I suppose.
Have you ever had a day where you’re up, and then get suddenly knocked down again only to be picked right back up? I’m having a day like that. Presumably I should be tired by the stress of it all, but frankly I’m elated that I’m again on the up-side.Indeed, today, life is good. I ...
You’ll never guess who I just got a phone call from… DAISY!I haven’t heard her voice in so long and it was great to talk to her again. It really does show how much I miss …
Despite the fact that Team Canada really hasn’t bee doing overly well this Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, I still have to give credit to our athletes. Most of them practice these sports only as hobbies in their spare time. Unfortunately for us, our government does not support our athletes, so they must often find ...
I came across an interesting article today, which implies that if a man thinks himself to be financially well-off, his impulsiveness toward instant gratification is lessened.Immediate grat …
I met up with Brian and his girlfriend today for lunch. Though I had met her previously, it was in a club, and the setting wasn’t very conducive to introductions. Today I was actually able to talk to her, and she seems like a really great girl for him. I’m really very happy for him, ...
What makes me really happy is getting into work and reading my e-mail, only to find that there are some of the most beautiful messages written to me.<3I would repost them here, but they’re private, and for me only.Together.
I think that most of us find that the little idiosyncrasies in life are what make us smile. They are the things that we find the most endearing, and yet the things that no others understand when we tell them. These are the things that I enjoy most, and when they happen unexpectedly, they ...
This has been a pet peeve of mine for quite some time now. I don’t mean to point fingers, but I am most irked by this when I hear it from ignorant Americans. Presumably, the portrayal of communism being at odds with democracy was one of the better misdirections by the United States Government (among ...
Something new that I didn’t even know existed before my mom started to buy them. Apparently the environmental movement has moved beyond plastic, and now I’m getting boxes of water in my lunches. Think of a juice box, but with water in it.Seriously, what will they come up with next? This is like fruit roll-ups ...
n. def: The quality of being callous; emotional hardheartedness or indifference.I think it is callous not to reply to things that people spend time writing. If you send me an MSN message, I will reply. If you send me an e-mail, I will reply. If you write on my wall, I will reply. If you ...
If you didn’t already know, I’m currently in Dallas, Texas for some training with work. I would normally look forward to a trip, but this one was to the USA, which is not something I enjoy. It turns out that someone I know already is in the same class as I am. Naturally, we went ...
Do you ever find that it seems like you are walking on the smallest tightrope, where any misstep will send you careening to your untimely demise? I feel like that presently, and in two different and distinct situations. And yet, despite the very real presence of unmitigated catastrophe, the rewards for both are much more ...
I’m trying to reduce my monthly burden, and I’m also trying to set myself and my future family into a good financial position. I’m looking at a set of condos around the 427 and Rexdale in Etobicoke. You can check them out at www.tridel.ca.Hopefully a certain person will come live with me there sooner rather ...
