5X1000 = 5000
5X2000 = 10000
Total = $15K.

A lot of $$$$.

Based on CAT150....you will have to bonk her 150 days to make up for the losses...

I had similar experience of lossing out $$ from potential football bets from Spools due the ny galk but no choice...lan...lan...like that.

BTW, did you tell her that abt you missing out from the $15K?

I show her the ticket (last week one) and tell her to collect money from Paradiz, she saw and compare to the results and was very happy, already planning what to buy, then I tell her that she can have all the money for herself. Her eyes open big big, mouth even bigger, and hug and kiss me. Then I tell her, just make sure she is able to collect the money........Then cold war for two days......

i say "use your cpf" then their answer is "not fair" .....

what is it sia.. one way they want us to respect them as a modern woman and yet when come to money they are traditionalist .....

I know what you mean. Being some employed means the greater freedom to manage one's financial resources and optimise financial obligations to the folks at Newton Road.

My parents used to blast me for doing contractual consultancy work, pointing out that no CPF means no money for house. I replied to them with the same line, "use money better mah."

Besides, money put in bonds still comes back faster into your wallet than the money in CPF. Money in CPF is almost like coins and notes embalmed and plastered deep in the crypts, only available for collection when one decides to stop breathing and become part of history.

Even the girl I got to know 3-4 years back was like yakking about how "useful" the money in CPF is. On the other side of the coin, why place 20% of your money earnings in CPF? Especially, if you can place it in forex time deposit (assuming you have some extra cash to park).

Liquidity does wonders, whereas the mere digits which appear on the CPF statement aren't crystalise, until and when one is of the legitimate and ripe age to realise them in real dollars and coins.

Next time when your female friends talk to you about CPF, tell them to ask CPF for money, if they need to borrow any. XD

The worst thing to happen is *touch wood* if your gf is one person easily motivated and enticed by mere neat slips of polymer paper.

this is a sad case of social conditioning by the govt. the 5 C's remember ....

thats's what all our gals clamour for and they are the advocates for govt. policies......

Na de bu huai.. nu de bu ai....(Guy not bad... girl not like).
Believe me.. this saying is very true.

bad does not mean you be unfaithful or ill-treat her.. more like you don't always give her what she wants... e.g. time, talk.

Girls are pretty weird in a sense, no matter how strong or independent they want to show or really truly are...they need their man to be strong... in every sense of the word... but even more so is the character. Girls only maintain their love for men they can respect.( be it infinitely smarter, wiser, or powerful or patient)... girls need that. Thats why if you can show your girl 'who is the one who wears the pants in the relationship' (pardon the pun), she'll stick to you ah...

Guys who build his world and happiness around the girl or the relationship are making a big but understandable mistake...So guys must stand on their ground.

In the matter such as asking the ger if she wants noodle or something...
My preferred approach would be...
Me: Ahh GF.. what you want to eat?
GF: Don't know leh....
Me: Anything ok if don't know?
GF: Err... can't decide la so many choice
Me: Ok then i'm buying "blah blah blah" so i'll get the same for you if you can't decide... wait for me la.. i go get (Then i walk off and get it... no point waiting already)

After food have arrived
GF: Err... i actually don't feel like eating this ah..
Me: Okay. Too bad la... you can't decide. Next time you decide then won't have to eat things you don't feel like eating la ok?(continue eating)

(This places her a big yellow post it in her brain telling her.. if she don't decide, she'll probably not get to eat something she feels like, thus forcing her to decide and leaving you a breather )

Problem solved.

For clothes issue....
GF: Which you think nice? this black one or blue one?
Me: I think both also nice on you... but personally I prefer(CHoose the one i prefer)
GF: Hmm really?(Thinking about me saying both also nice so feeling good that she made two good choices out of the whole shop) But I think the blue one nicer leh...
Me: Well, like i said its a personal preference... i personally still prefer the (in this case) black one... (if you want to end it there, just go like..) It makes you look sexier rather than the blue one and besides you have lots of blue color already...

(Most cases, the girl will end the decision based on your insistence that your choice makes her look sexier in your eyes. This will add points to you and next time, she'll tell her gfs that she enjoys shopping with you becos the clothes you chose always make her look sexier and prettier...which effectively reduces your burden, and makes you more attractive amongst her gfs in the likely event you went out with the bunch of them.)

So the rule is... decide and insist for her.. becos if she could decide... she wouldn't have ask you. (Do you ever ask you gf which porno to download?!)
She'll respect you for that. But still carry it out it a gentlemanly way... not the violent, obligatory stare

Not all gals will react the same way, try it on some strong headed gals and it will backfire for sure, for they think they have the freedom of speech, choice to choose and no one can run their life for them.

While this is generally true, understanding and ability to grasp the needs of a women is genuinely beyond the intellectual ability and emotional capacities of the male species, however much women claim the simplicity of their socio emotional intellectual processes.

Their propensities for materialism is so apparent that even the blind can see.

The irony is that women is just another evil which man has to live with, just like the famous drinkable bactria based solution ... "vitagen".

My point of view is, regardless of whichever "char bo" one would like want to be with, his patience and willingness to yield, compromise and accomodate will determine the shelf life of the relationship. Whilst all the talk about "till death do us apart" is nothing more than mere flowery elaborated disguise of the honest truth that all relationships/marriages end up, in some way or another, becoming like a socio-emotional contract for the satisfaction of wants and desires.

Girls, ladies and, for that matter, aunties have this unusual tendency to proclaim their undying love for whoever they love. Far too often, this is only a half truth of what they truly desire. Being creatures of flesh and blood, love is only but a state of mind. When hardship strikes, how many of these females will stay?

Where hardship is beyond that which is perceived to be fair and acceptable, is it not true that divorces and breakups are easily the top few options considered? Where a guy earns anything less than what the female defines as acceptable or, for the matter of fact, elements constituting financial security or stability, is it not true (again) that most females would choose to look for other more eligible candidates?

In this day, declining birthrates are said to be jinxed by more ambitions younger working folks. Let us evaluate this other end of the spectrum, declining birthrates or, in my opinion, regression of population numerals is primarily due to the females' ever-so-legendary popular attitude of intolerance towards men of "lesser material endowments", despite the reality that earning less can be .... a personal choice.

If I have remembered correctly, girls like to lament about the lack of "good men". I say its pure nonsense and an outright insult to those who labour day and night struggling to ensure their families' daily 3 meals and have no time to entertain demanding young or even middle aged damsels of today.

Love is only a state of mind, whilst committment and responsibility is everything that makes a marriage and relationship work. It is not about spending money on expensive lunches and coffee. Some females I know of still think its a right to live off their guy friends' paychecks. I'm not against them or anything. The point is they don't know where and when to stop.

I can tolerate anything from con artists and backstabbers, but females who leech off guys are .... no friends of mine.
