I finally met Jes & Rach for dinner at Tampines yesterday. I took a killer of a bus ride which took almost 2 hours to get me from office to Tampines. Never again! I missed my girls so much! Cat joined us after dinner and she’s expecting a baby girl next month! She’s one of the most radiant expectant mothers I’ve ever seen.
Didn’t sleep a wink last nite. You are not the only person experiencing a culture shock. I think my shock was bigger than yours. As equal as the sexes may be at this day and age, I think what we were talking about was a very basic male nature to be able to provide for fundamental things like paying for meals when out together. For 2 years, I convinced myself that once you started working and getting a decent pay, it would be different. But I guess not.
I dunno if it’s just me and the people around me. All my ex BFs never saw that I paid for a single meal unless I decided to give a treat. Not because it’s out of goodwill, but it came naturally to them as a ‘BF duty’ to put it crudely. As for my guy friends, I offer to pay them back after each meal but they would always turn me down and if I insist, they feel insulted and would never accept my money. This also applies to my friends’ friends and I have never come across any guy who felt that meals should be split between them and their GFs. This is something GFs would do amongst themselves – either split the bill or take turns to treat each other. But I have never seen it happening in any relationships.
I dunno lah. We shall see how things go but as much as society has evolved, it’s hard to fight the primitive perception that links security to the man being the primary provider. BFs who gives their GFs an allowance or pay for their personal expenses is in another league all together.
I’m alone in the office with Kenny today. The bitch is on last minute leave and the rest of the guys aren’t back yet. I’m tired but I feel more mentally drained than physically. But I know it’s a matter of time before exhaustion hits me, especially so after 2 straight days of not getting any sleep. I got 2 people to gimme morning call but I guess I didn’t need it, not after lying wide-eyed, tossing and turning for the few hours after I hung up the fone with Chixy.
I shall leave it alone for now. I’m sapped of all my energy.
Oh, please vote for Jessman Khor in Female’s 50 Gorgeous People list.
No. 17
http://www.female50gp.com/vote.htmlI hate to say this but the picture of him is really gross. Gotta see him upfront to judge and I miss that boy’s shaggy hairdo! Maybe I should dig out photos we took with the rest of the guys and do him some justice. I miss the guys so much! I miss truth or dare at C.A.N Café and I miss the crazy drinking sessions.
Please dun vote for the most bimbotic slut on the list. Shall not reveal her name but my darlings know who I’m talking about. The attention whore that never fails to make herself look dumb. Oh no, she doesn’t make herself look dumb on purpose. She is dumb per se… Except she thinks she exudes confidence and wit every time she opens that pie hole of hers.
