On being strong and on being low-maintainence

Ok la, shouldnt not record my life because of some sucky answers via email. It is not like I never predicted it. I just work for another 1.5 yrs first, pay back my first poly school loan first then cont to pursue ba. Meanwhile I shant be dwelling on it day in day out.

Digress a liiiiiiiittle bit.

I had blogged about my migraine for numerous times I know, but when it hurts and I dowan to complain to someone physical I can only blog it here.

I dowan to be ke lian xi xi. Or known as one. Even though most ppl wont associate me with ke lian xi xi la. I am very man one ok? Very fierce and will swing a slap across someone's face if I am offended. Haha.

Meow and camilla were actually planning to go hk end of year and they jio-ed me along. I agreed immediately of course, because there is no reason why I shouldnt go.

Later, they said they cant go because their parents and boyfriends think it isnt a good idea. They thought it is too unsafe.

No biggie lor. I just wait for wanxin or xiaomei or laoda or dao sao lor. But still I am really unable to comprehend how come they have so many restrictions lah.

Well well. Not everyone lives in a everything-also-no-bounds family. Meow cannot even stay overnight at chalets it seems. Her parents are very worried about this cat la, haha.

Meow, quick, tell everyone if got ppl bully you, you shall just scratch their faces in rapid up down up down movements can? Scar them already walk away with the usual feline-ish aloofness.

I would go myself, if it wasnt that I cant speak cantonese and I dowan to be dok as a tourist by their merchants. It is the same at thailand lor. Most of them can speak english but they would surely dok tourists one. So sian.

That is why I prefer to go taiwan anytime. I will just camouflage into their crowd and pass off as a native when I speak.

But also got it's share of danger in taiwan. I remembered when I was in taiwan with jujin for the 2 wks trip, once in the hotel room we recv calls from a man asking us whether we want to come to the reception.

Told him dowan, and I hung up. Immediately he called again and started saying for suggestive stuff. I just repeated dowan! And hung up. He kept calling and I just ignored it, then jujin picked up and started spewing vulgarities.

She also very strong ok! Haha.

After tt the man stopped, and we called the reception via 000 or some preset combinations on the phone. The two of us meant to call and kaobeh him, or kaobeh to his boss, threatening to report to their police or something.

But a lady answered. The two of us were bewildered, but we started probing questions like "Hmm, we recv a call from the reception just now, but it is a guy, can we know his name?"

She replied that there isnt any guy working at the receptionist, and another lady came to the phone and said the same thing. Usually at night there are two person working at the reception area, but for all I know they may all be in one big cahoots?

We just continued to drill them, and they just answered each question with certainty and confidence. After a while, me and jujin chose to believe them two.

We explained to them that we recv lewd-contented calls, and the person claimed to be calling from the reception. The ladies assured us no guy was at the reception at the time, and offer to track the call for us, to show us that the call was probably an inbound call to the hotel.

It seems that at this hotel, outside ppl can call in direct, without needing to go thru receptionist area.

One thing to confess about the hotel, which I never mention to anyone before, the hotel actually had a 3-hourly booking slot as well. Meaning this hotel is actually open for people to book in purely for sex.

Ok la, maybe some people book in to rest, after a long walk along the 'lake' which is beside the hotel.

But then again, in taiwan, any hotel also got people book in for sex one la. But the hotel that me and jujin stayed in is not motel lah. Because taiwanese very open one mah, hotel means hotel, motel means motel.

So I think that is why the phones in the room can call directly out, and people can call directly in.

So they traced, then they told us that the call was from the person staying at room 707! We were staying at 909, that means we were just 2 stories and 2 units away from the freak!

Ok lah, a bit kee siao, even if he stay at 202 I will also say he stay just 7 stories and 7 units away. But knowing he is actually so much nearer to us than the receptionist really shocked us. The receptionist said she already reported it to the manager, and ended call there.

Around 15 mins later or so, they called again and told us they've asked that man to leave their premises already. Meaning chased him out already. We two wont know for sure la, but these staff really sounded very sincere, so we thanked them and left it at that.

We didnt worry too much abt the doors and windows. We had always been careful with them and with anymore care put into it, we will need to nail the doors and windows shut.

We changed room the next day. The people there offered their best help. And they even found us room 809. We didnt want to move too far cos we have too much shopping stuff in their individual bags. -_-"

The next night, after we have moved, I was surfing net at the lobby. The manager came over and chatted with me. He said that the man actually harassed many other people in other rooms but we were the only one who reported, that's why they could invite the man out.

Yah la, it is dangerous, we but must learn how to take care of ourselves anywhere and everywhere. And of course, it helps that I am very fierce la. I scold fuck, scold nabei, scold ccb, scold tamade, among others expletives. Haha. =P

Yesterday at dinner we were also mentioning on how guys like girls to be "low maintainence". It is definate one la, given a choice between two girls with very similar attributes, one spends a lot one spends very little, who would the guy choose?

(Kao, dont give me the crap about no two persons are similar so cant choose like that. I kick your ass then you know.)

Low maintainence include qualities like dont splurge, dont buy expensive stuff, dont insist on taking taxi, dont insist on eating at expensive places.

It also mean the girl is not bad tempered, not fussy, not clinging, not attention seeking.

Wah, if I am a guy I also want a wife/gf like that. That would really save a lot of headache leh, then my migraine wont work up so often.

That is also why, in front of guys, I seldom splurge. I spent a lot when I am out with girls but I almost never spend in front of guys. If I die die have to, I would choose very cheap things to buy, like maybe ONE 20 dollah bag. It will never be as I go out with girls, where I would buy 3 bags, or 4 pair of shoes, or 5 pairs of earrings.

I am not low maintainence, but I can act leh. =)

Cannot let guys see how I spent! Or I will be immediately radar-ed and catergorised into their "BEWARE, high maintainence woman". Of course I am not romantically interested in all the guys I am out with, in groups or otherwise, but it is not sensible cos sg is a small place.

I cant afford to have someone's someone's someone's someone's someone telling on me.

It's like permanent marker ink, I tell you.

So when camilla was saying she was being viewed as 'low maintainence' to her friends, I think it is a really good thing. I think I shall never be viewed as low maintainece cos I spend a lot on shopping and on singing, and I am either fuming, weeping or jubilating.

My emotions are too difficult to be understood and managed.

But I guess being labelled as low maintainence can also be negatory. It makes a person sounds amorphous and colourless.

It is too difficult to select between a person who is low maintainence but nondescript, and a person who is high maintainence but profligate.

But well well, I am happy being bai jin nuu. =)
