Busy busy busy....

Damn busy ever since I went back to unit. So much to do... =P

Quite sometime never blog already... Too lazy to look back in time and recapture everything, so I'll just make do with bits and pieces of it.

The Exco went for a little recce at Aloha Loyang, our venue for this year's Freshmen Orientation Camp. The place is so beautiful~! Looks damn comfy too~! haha... It got all of us so excited. Looking forward to 24th July.

I only managed to take a look at the chalet but not the games area cuz Alan and myself have to rush back to work *we sneak out during lunchtime... =P* Hope the rest of them had fun~!
Spotted this damn cool Kawasaki Z1000 at Carnhill carpark. Martin and me were ogling at the bike when the owner came back. No one would have guessed that the owner of this Kawasaki monster is a slim, blonde hair babes wearing tight jeans and spag top! *faintz* Our jaws dropped open when she blasted her way out of the carpark with that 1000cc engine roaring loud... cool... Oh, she can hardly reach the floor when she's on the bike but it doesn't matter... she can easily overtake ANY cars/bikes on the road with that monster if she wants to.... *drooLs*

Had dinner with Din and Martin at Far East. Been a long long time since we last had dinner there. Everyone is busy with work and hardly had time to chill out. Evelyn was there too. She just happened to drop by Din's store to say hi, ended up finding all of just there... haha... She's still as small size. No one would believe that she is actually 24, and we all agree that she look like she's 16~! =P

Oh yar, Martin is going to have a gf soon~! *I hope* Apparently he has been going out with this girl for the past 2 weeks. No wonder he stopped calling me to bug me... got girl, don't need buddy already =P

Kena arrowed to be one of the Ushers for the Army Officers Promotion Ceremony. Quite an interesting job as I got to know a lot of friends from all over the place. Nice experience. Have to wear No. 5 for the occassion. Haven't got the time to get it tailored, so ended up borrowing it from Mikail. Lucky it fits well.

Went to meet Andrew, Audrey and Wayne at Liquid Kitchen after the event. That has been our usual hangout since the beginning of World Cup. Its a nice place to chill and watch football. Price is okie, 4 big TVs, and nice sofa.

The world is small. 2 of my friends are working there too. Alex and ??? *I believe my friend wanna stay nameless*
Got quite a few free drinks from ??? during my first visit too.... haha... that's the good thing about knowing friends everywhere.

Oh, and Wayne like a girl at Liquid Kitchen too.... haha... I don't know the details, so I shouldn't say much... =) Well, that's about it for now, need to have some good rest. Forever tired and sleepy...

SB-ML no more...

17 June 2006 is a date that I will remember for years to come... The store that left me with so much wonderful memories is finally closed. Starbucks Millenia Walk... the place where I had so much fun working in. The place that left me with so much good friends.... No wonder everyone agrees that good things will always come to an end soon...

It was great to see most of the old partners come back on Saturday for the gathering. For one last time, we had the usual supper in store after closing. For one last time, we chatted and laughed and ran around the store. For one last time, Francis squeezed whipcream on Susi, Charmaine and Jerine.... haha..... Things that we used to take for granted hold so much more meaning now. Though SB-ML is not gone ( it is relocated to another location of Millenia Walk) but the feeling is different already. Well, I guess all that we have now are just memories of all the good times we had... for moment last for seconds but memories live on forever.....

The last supper?
Jerine, Tracy, Charmaine and Susi
Me, Jas and Edwin
Susi and Me at the Bar. Low fat milk for you??
Starbuck Millenia Walk
Need to say more?
That's all...

The Allure of the Biker Guy

By Amy Keyishian

We’ve all heard that women want a guy who’s tall, dark and handsome. But maybe it’s time to update that to “tall, dark and handsome—and on a Harley.” Because it seems that since the days of the flicks The Wild One and Easy Rider, a guy on a bike has held a special kind of bad-boy appeal. In fact, in a recent Match.com survey, “motorcycle” was the second most-popular term that women used when searching through online profiles.

So we decided to see why it is that a two-wheeled scream machine ranks so high. Dr. Kate Wachs, a Chicago psychologist and the author of Relationships for Dummies, says, "Motorcycles are still perceived as rebellious, tough, and strong—but, unlike in the past, they're now much more socially acceptable." Like tattoos, motorcycles are often the hidden fun-factor in otherwise respectable citizens. Here, the full story on their allure.

Guys with motorcycles have a little extra oomph.
There's no doubt about it: A motorcycle signifies a little extra ingredient in a guy—a little extra testosterone in a world of sensitive men. Hey, sensitive metrosexuals are great, but some women still like a little cave with their man. "A man on a bike exudes independence, self-reliance, and fearlessness," explains Michelle Midyette of Santa Fe. "He has nothing but leather between him and certain harm—clearly, he freely embraces risks and has a lust for life." Yes, that rebel vibe can work its magic. But of course, this little extra oomph can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he's more masculine than the average pencil-pusher; on the other hand, "you need the tough-boy exterior balanced by a kinder, softer side when you're off his ride," observes Dennie Hughes, relationship columnist at USA Today and author of Dateworthy: Get the Relationship You Want. No problem, says Midyette: "Almost all the bikers I've ever known — and I make sure to introduce myself to most that cross my path — have been sweet, big-hearted, intelligent men.”

Guys with motorcycles offer instant invigoration.
Riding along on a bike, you can feel of the wind in your... er, helmets, which makes a lot of women swoon. "I don't care if it's raining, snowing, whatever—if I am in a bad mood and my biker says 'get your leathers on,' and five minutes later I'm catching the wind, that's always a mood-booster," says Georgia Tillery of Ocean Beach, CA. "There's nothing like that kind of wind blowing in my face—even the dirt in my pores and the occasional bug in my teeth is worth it," agrees Christine Hall of Carlsbad, CA.

Guys with motorcycles thrive on spontaneity.
A guy with a bike is no doubt the sort of fella who’s likely to say, “Let’s go for a ride” on the spur of the moment. If the mood strikes to head for the hills, the seashore, or anywhere else, he’s likely to seize the moment on his bike. And he’ll take his date along for the fun. "With a motorcycle, you're guaranteed two things: Speed and convenience," says Mark Byron of Los Angeles, so you can go wherever your whim and wheels want to take you. Another benefit: "It's a lot easier to find parking close to a restaurant," points out Max Perez of San Francisco—making dinners out all the more convenient.

Guys with motorcycles are the only match for ...girls with motorcycles!
Of course, tons of women have motorcycles themselves and are avid riders—and that's why they search for biker guys: To complement their sassy self-image. "Of course I have to search for a guy with a bike," says JoMarie Spagnola of Atlanta, GA. "Who else is going to keep up with me on my 2001 Yamaha V-Star?" Just remember this, says Hughes: "Between two motors, the wind, and neither of you wanting to get too distracted from the road, motorcycle riding doesn't exactly make for meaningful conversation." Make sure you've got other things in common besides four-stroke engines, otherwise you might be headed for a relationship ditch.

Guys with motorcycles make even the most empowered women feel girly.
In this day and age, women are the masters of our own destiny. No longer do we look to men for power, permission, or affirmation. And as great as that is, there's a part of many of us that likes to be a li'l lady once in a while. "The back of my guy's bike is the only place I'll let a man (literally) take the front seat. I’ll give up my independent power to wrap my hands around his middle and put my trust in him for just that small while," says Amy Kaye of Brooklyn, NY. "It's a little taste of being old-fashioned. That's a great feeling—at least for a little while.”

Dating a biker dude gives a woman an excuse to tap her wild side.
If you’ve ever wondered about what your bad-girl side would look like, this is the opportunity to find out. Surely you won’t be hopping on the back of a Harley in a camisole, prairie skirt and heels. Nope, this is your chance to shine in jeans, boots—and whatever black leather is lurking in your closet. None to be found? No worries! Anything casual will do the trick. Notes Vin Amendola, a guy with a bike in Middle Village, NY: "At any age, a woman looks sexy and rebellious on a bike—even if, in real life, she just dropped off the kids off at soccer practice." Of course, some women don't dig the biker thing at all. "To tell you the truth… I'd rather date a guy with a convertible," says Dale Chestnut of Albany, NY. "No helmet required, and you can drink coffee and wear short skirts." To which we say: Doll, you're born to be mild.
