$, sex, & fat part 2

pj said in the last post that when she lent out money, she knew she won't see it again.

this isn't the first time I heard this theory: that when u lend out money, be prepared that you don't get it back again.

i don't know, but when I lend out money, my intention is to help out in times of crisis, and that the borrower has every intention to pay back.....

借钱有还，
再借不难。。。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tink I realised that debt is something that can easily forgotten, for the borrower that is. Especially debts that are not contractual, there is no legal basis for recovery. Borrowers would always try and delay, or refuse to pay.
Its all in economics....

I would not lend money ever again. I promise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recall a particular character, a guy that another friend introduced. Let's call him T-rex. He is very generous with his monies. When he first know me, he brought us to a nice restaurant in Boat Quay, treating us to steaks and stuff.
Begin generous, T-rex has no problem lending out his money whenever his friends need it.

T-rex also happens to be very generous with prostitutes.
He can spend an entire night with a prostitute, buying food and birthday cake to celebrate her birthday.

I was like, "whooo...WTF dude!".

and somemore from what I heard, its just a normal prostitute, not someone that he very close with, or wat.
Not that I want to de-humanise prostitutes, i think they are humans too, working for their livings and definitely a birthday cake would do a lot to make them happy.

BUT HELLO? some of them were just greedy and kept on sponging off T-rex. Talk whole night, complain abt conditions back home.....sigh. There are a lot of pple that need more help lor...

and so he was notorious for spluring on prostitutes.

Anyway, my friend was pissed that T-rex lent out so much money to so-called friends and unable to recover all these debts, although it was fairly obvious that these friends have the means to do so. They simply do not wish to pay back. My friend did not want T-rex to be made use of, so he hammered them and demand money back.

This particular guy borrowed money to buy an expensive motorbike, when being chased for the debt , he said,

"I just don't wanna pay back leh. If i pay back the money, he would simply spend it on prostitutes. For fuck! (editor: ahhh..the irony..) I may as well use his money for a better clause."

You know he got a point.
Money spent on those things are definitely waaaay better than spluring on prostitutes, with risk of STDs and all that...plus....BIRTHDAY CAKES??? (can't get over that...)

but then, that's T-rex money.... its up to him to do what he wants with his hard-earned money.

So what do you think??

What a coincidence, i just learned from Newsweek that there is a new documentary out there that talks abt credit and debt, and how its hurting America. (america's national debt is more than....... USD $8000 billions. whooo!)

$, sex, & fat

i was talking to minyii about lending money

and I realised how much i hate lending money now.
I loaned $300 out these 2days to 2 person and I know at least $100 is gone.
yeh i know its for a good cause, coz both of them really need the money, thats why I can't say no to them......

i hate being taken for a ride, and being unappreciated.


I HATE ASKING FOR MONEY BACK. its my own money, for god's sake, why am I going through this asking process.


minyii insisted that I'm getting cynical.

*shrugs*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

as 2 good economists, we discussed it in the rational way.

Free-Rider Problem
Tragedy of the Commons

Thats why money borrowed won't be returned promptly......and within 5 minutes of this discussion....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i have no idea why, but the topic deviates to virginity

isn't it amazing? double standard? how guys can lose their virginity to pros and go on and on abt how important virginity is to women?

isn't it simply amazing that interesting conversations always revolve around money or sex?
Especially Money AND sex.

PS: yes the topic did touch on "am i fat?", the no.1 topic for girls
sigh. girls.

god is fairer to some

regarding my previous entry....

mr jeremy tagged on my tagboard.

JeremyMorbius: Hmm interesting post. I'm just curious, how did u find out about my multiply site? n i only TyPe lIkE tHiS for my nick only.. well to each his own.

well....let just say that I'm your secret admirer (uhm...) and i searched out your multiply account earlier. i love search engines.

and hor, why do u care abt pple who say u're fat and ugly. Look at me, I'm handsome like hell (no, really) and i don't even get 1/100 of the girls u're with.

dude, be confident. i know pple who would kill for your job. (i won't kill, but i don't mind working for free)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

okok, I lied, I'm not that handsome.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and for the love of jupiter, would all these internet companies stop it?
Friendster, MySpace, Multiply, Ringo, BingBox......

aren't they all the same?

BTW, i always find it amusing that under "Interested in Meeting People For", so many people put "Activity Partners".

do u guys have any idea what's "activity partners"?
Its an euphemism for "sex partners". DUH!

You wanna find sex partners, friendster don't work lah....go shagster la!
HAHA!

god is fair

I like to mutter the phrase "god is fair" whenever i find something wrong with a seemly perfect person.

I have a theory here that everyone of us has a flaw, or some unhappiness somewhere. No one can live that wonderful life. No one is that happy.

If this guy has a great academic life, a great career, rich family, he probably can't get a girlfriend that loves him for who he is.

If this girl has a great bf, lots of friends, and enjoys her work, she is probably poor and struggling to make ends meet.

if this guy has a phD, a wonderful career with status, respect, and that he truly loves, and he drives a BMW and has a kickass girlfriend, he's probably gay.

i tell u, god is fair.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


it works the other way too.

when I see a fat ass dude, who thinks that he got a great job (who oso tYpE LiKe tIs) and hangs out with tons of chio bu, i would nod quietly and acknowledge to myself, yey, he deserves it.



Meet JeReMy MoRb|Us (did i mention how irritating it is to see pP|e tYpInG liKe tIs?), FHM Poster Boy. See his blog, his multiply account here....

Yup, he's the "King" in the pack of cards mentioned in Xiaxue's post.........

My 1st Claim

I sold a hospitalisation plan 3 weeks ago.

As this is a plan using CPF-Medisave to pay for premium, the plan can only be considered activated on the 1st of the next month, with approval and transfer of money from CPF Board.

I drove my client to the hospital on 31st March 7pm plus.
By the time investigation work was completed, and she admitted to hospital, the offical admittance time was "1st April, 00:58am".

wah, super heng. just 58 minutes after interception of policy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If that is not heng enough, when i drove my client to the hospital, my dad phoned me and told me that my mum had a fall and was in the same hospital as I was driving to.....

I end up driving my mum home.

bad coincidence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


stupid insurance agent never do insurance plan for his own mummy. luckily only hairline fracture, no hospitalisation required.....

a break from the "break from blogging"

ok, i'm breaking my hiatus for a short blog, due to a special request from Neofik.
This entriy is for u Neofik!! Lor-Tar Ogar!!!!

Before i begin, let me introduce a term created by Scotts Adams, the creater of Dilbert. You can read his blog here. (very educational read, but only for those with a sense of humour, pls) I will plug his blog another day.

BOCTAOE = But Of Course There Are Obvious Exceptions

This blog, everything said here is automatically tagged with BOCTAOE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Girls dunno what they want. (in case u forgot the above, BOCTAOE)

I'm not even talking abt insurance, but for that matter, yes i'm glad for this job coz it made me realised how annoying girls are, on a whole.

I'm talking abt emotions. and behaviour.

if u don't know what u want in your life, go away. don't disturb us.
if u just want to be friends, stop doing those THINGS. yes, unless u're dumb, u know when to draw the bloody line.

dun tell me u wanna be friends after all those OBVIOUS. blah! dun tell me platonic friendships. crap.
and dun accuse the guys of oversensitivity. if all of us can feel that u're interested, and u said "i tot we were just friends!" then err....something is wrong with u.


sometimes I really wonder if we men are truly from Mars and women are from Venus. most guys whom I know that are happy in their relationship either understand that they can never win women's illogical behaviour and so can't be bothered, OR they have very low expectations or IQ.
i have known too many men that are betrayed by illogical and irrational thinking.

while in the hospital for the past few days, I can't help but realised that my singlehood over the years is really subconscious-refusal-to-accept-women. My friend made me realised that I have been finding faults with all girls that got close to me, and that despite all the clamouring for couplehood, all my actions dictate otherwise.

He told me abt this girl whom he thought was very nice and ideal for me, but within hours, i totally rejected any notion, and he was damn dulan with me.
when i think abt that particular girl, i realised she actually quite a decent girl....no reason for me to reject......i think i just dun want to be in a situation where the probability of attachment is too high.
shucks.



anyway, i still stick to my own conclusion, girls, please know what you want.

Be clear with your feelings. We are not mind-readers.




[note: all these have nothing to do with me now, but experience has verified the authenticity. pls don't bother to argue with me. let neofik and I enjoyed the satistifation of some serious women-bashing.]
[further note: to females, if u want to get insurance, AS IN, u approach the agent to ask for insurance, have the decency to inform ur agent if u r no longer interested or unwilling. You are the one tat asked for help, have the decency to update the agent.
ITS BLOODY RUDE. 9 out of 10 girls don't know how to do this. unless you're a bloody agent, please don't even bother to counter argue with me]

a very short hiatus.
busy with hospital stuff.
