yea aren’t you guys just sooooooooo glad that i’m just blogging ALL THE FRIGGING TIME right now? haha ok so it’s not all the time but it’s often enough!

Anyhoo, I think it’s due in part to the fact that I have significantly more time on my hands now plus I’ve finished the article that I had to write awhile ago so i don’t feel so laden with guilt.

Well, this article is, once again, relationship-themed.. Haha. Man, I can’t wait to start work so that I have a lot more distractions and less time to think about relationships!! Gah. And yea that’s right, I intend to be totally committed to work and not even give a thought to serious relationships at all once I start work.. That’s why as long as I’m not in a relationship by the end of this year, that’s it for me for the next year (or 3, I’m thinking..)

Not like that has any likelihood of happening, haha. ANYWAY, back to the point of this entry! I was just reading this thing on facebook titled “102 things Guys need to know about Girls” and found that I seriously need to comment about the (in)accuracy of it.. Lest any gullible guy out there believes it to be the truth.. So where better to do it than my blog? =))

I’m just going to list the points and post my comments after it.. The list was taken from this facebook group..

102 Things Guys need to know about Girls

1. Do not cheat on a girl. We girls talk, we WILL know, and we WILL find out, and we WILL dump you!

This is kinda true.. Nothing much to add on here..

2. Be aware of all your girlfriends’ guy friends, brothers, fathers, or anything. They are protective. Every single male friend we have will kick your ass if you end up hurting her.

Uhh I think so.. Haha my dad is protective to a certain degree, though he kinda makes way for me to have “opportunities”… If you know what I mean.. lol. As for my brother, I think he couldn’t give a shit.

3. Never ever miss an opportunity to tell her that she’s beautiful. We girls love that.

Who doesn’t love flattery?

4. If she slapped you hard, you probably deserved it.

I dunno.. I don’t think I’ll ever slap anyone.. Haha

5. Do not be afraid of holding her. If she’s going out with you in the first place, it’s obvious that she likes you and wants to be in your arms.

True! =)

6. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend — a stuffed animal, one of his sweatshirts or hoodie’s, and a really pretty piece of jewelry.

I can’t say every single girl wants these.. I kinda only want the 2nd item haha. A stuffed animal would be cute but would just collect dust.. And if you end up buying something I don’t like then that’s just gonna make things awkward for me right? Same goes for jewellery.. Guys don’t have very hot taste.

We girls want your shirts coz it feels like you’re around. I personally feel like it’s kinda having your boyfriend mark his territory, kinda. And I know a lot of girls don’t like it, but I think it’s cool. I think maybe I haven’t had a boyfriend in TOO long. haha

Today’s LOLShare is from a movie I just watched – Where Got Ghost!?

It’s a local film directed by Jack Neo. If you’re Singaporean you’ll probably have heard of it by now. If you’re from somewhere else, well, Google’s always helpful. The movie, in my opinion, was very funny but rather poorly executed. Though we laughed a lot for most of the film, we left feeling rather disappointed.

Going into the cinema you’d expect more of the film, being the first hormedy (as an article I read somewhere put it) by Jack Neo. I would have appreciated some attempt at genuine suspense, so that my emotions run a little higher than usual and my blood might see a spike in adrenaline levels. That’s usually why I go to watch movies – to engage in a story that will make me laugh, cry or fear for my life.

This movie didn’t manage to do much of that. The script was pretty strong in terms of its witty insight and humorous dialogue. Also, as usual, the film was a smart social commentary that showed the ironies of life in Singapore (though there was really very little of that). However, the scares were more shocks than real chilling, gripping suspense, and I found it hard to connect emotionally with any of the characters at all (though this is forgivable since it’s 3 short stories, making it difficult to create engaging characters).

The biggest letdown was the unimpressive digital effects in the last part of the show. Blatantly fake, the audience was expected to suspend ALL belief as they were led down a stormy road despite knowing for sure where it would end. The plot was predictable and if not for the laughs, it would have been -gasp- boring.

If you must watch this film, go into it with no expectations at all. Be prepared to suspend your (dis)belief for the duration of the movie (about 90mins) and go in for the laughs. Neo has always excelled in presenting family-oriented fare that focused on relationships in a satirical manner. You can expect some of that. Also, the overdose of preaching was slightly annoying but, I guess, expected.

All that said, here are some of the LOLs from the film: (you may need to be Singaporean to truly understand the hilarity of the following)

(while walking by a roadside offering, A realizes he forgot to buy fruits for his boss. B suggests they just take the oranges from the offering)

A: are you sure? is it safe?
B: of course! Even if we don’t take it, the bangalas (coloquial term for foreign construction workers) will come and eat it. Have you ever heard of a bangala dying because he ate an orange?

(when the boss bites into the orange later after they give it to him)
Boss: what the hell is this?! it’s tasteless! it’s not even fit for animal consumption! where did you get this tasteless shit!?
(folklore says that food that’s been offered becomes tasteless as the ghost has already consumed its essence)
B (after a guilty moment’s silence): boss, this orange is sugar-free. it’s healthier. you need to be careful these days. Kidney failure is no joke.

LOL these 2 were amongst my favorite moments in the film lol

Disclaimer: I had no intention whatsoever to reproduce parts of the film as a spoiler and I’m not stealing the film in anyway. Also, my descriptions above are not 100% accurate. Just what I recall.

So watch WGG for LOLs =D
