Mills’ Bar Room Brawl

My friend told me that once during a third date with a man she fancied (this was back in my uni days), a condom fell out when the man pulled out money from his pocket to pay for two chocolate sundaes he was buying in Macdonalds. Which made her think of whether guys always carry condoms with them "just in case". Naturally, she froze. She didn’t know whether to look away or stare at the condom.

"I stared at the condom, Mills. I didn’t know what to do! The kid behind me was practically pointing and screaming!I was horrified."

Needless to say, the Third Date Guy remained as the Third Date Guy till this day.

Also, the point-and scream kid was definitely watching ALL the wrong channel.

The whole event was a major turn off for her. She was out looking to grow a relationship, but the man was more interested to get into her pants.

I debated with her though. Personally, i liked Third Date Guy because he was charming, handsome and highly intelligent.

Basically, there are three types of men.

The-Guy-Without-A-Condom

Now, a real woman would love to date and marry the Guy-Without-A-Condom. They are not promiscuous and definitely aren’t sleazy. This type of man prefers staying home with his girlfriend and watch footie on the telly.

The-Guy-With-The-Same-Condom-For-20-Years

Carries condoms for the sake of appearance. Some loser probably told him how cool it was to carry one. Don’t even bother with this dude.

The-Guy-That-Buys-Condom-By-The-Case!

Apart from buying them by the pound, he probably has a variety of it too. Ribbed, lambskin, flavoured, colored, you name it, either he has it or has no hesitation to get it for you. I leave it to you to judge. I’m getting off my high horse.

Before tipping the waiter at the Italian Restaurant we were dining, she asked me the age old question; Why on earth did the Third Date Guy carried a condom with him? Are women THAT easy? 

Let me say this people. Women aren’t easy; Men are. I used to educate my female friends to carry condoms in their purse all the time. I let it stay foreign to me though. Life is better and safer without casual sex with strangers.

Even IF women are easy, carrying a condom has nothing to do with girls being easy. It simply makes good sense to have one, so if the situation arises, everyone is protected.

Should anybody ask me what i want in life now that i’m 25, i really can’t asnwer. I don’t have the answer.

I thought of all the lessons in school i never learnt, of all the places i never get to go, of all the relationships i never get to grow. It stinks, seeing others living my dreams.

And then i realise, i might not be living big, but i AM living small. If you rush into things and have it all at once, life loses its meaning.

Now i’m living with the people i care and love all my life. I’m doing things i could only dream five years ago, and all those Saturday nights hanging out with my best girlfriends at my crib while Arif watches his EPL meant something.

Because every Saturday night we celebrate togetherness. Every Saturday night we drink to freedom and every Saturday night we toast to rekindled friendship.

So here, to my best girlfriends, Dora and Yi ling. *clink*

I’m serious. I love this woman!

What good writers need?

A pen and a notebook within reach, ALWAYS.

This is because for me, ideas usually come at the weirdest times. If i don’t jot them down immediately, there’s no way i could recall them again.

I’m currently trying to write a deep, yet chic book. Hopefully i get to finish it by next year.

As of today, i’m at page 16. Still trying to find a good crisis, and still searching for the voices of my various characters.

Time will tell if i get to bring this out.

Wish me luck!

P’s: I suck at giving my writings titles. How about you guys helping me out?

Saturday night and i’m at home doing online banking and smelling minyak angin that Mam is sniffing. Damn, she’s hooked on that stuff.

We are all excited about our new crib.

Ohhh….yes we are.

No more ass wipe to look at (Zaid), no more annoying 10 year old fat roll neighbour (yeah, man. He’s real fat) and most importantly, no more sharing house with people you hate!!!

Our new crib will be da bomb! I know a lot of people say that about their house, but i’m sure mine is to die for!

We looked at carpet today for the hall, and a runner for the hallway. The Persion rug seller was sorta cute (sorry hunney!) so we bought a big rug from him. I know, i shouldn’t be out buying persian carpet from cute Persian guy. I’m such a sucker!

King Kong will have a field day rolling on  the carpet, man! He loves carpet.

p’s: By the way, this is not King Kong. It’s just a picture of a black cat i found on the net. But then again, all black cats look the same.

Nurin’s Case a Flaw in Malay Community’s Parenting: an Open Letter to Malay Parents  

Parents,

The gruesome killing of Nurin is a reality check to us all. The street is never safe for children.

When such thing happens, who is to be blamed?

The lack of security in the country, or the parents?

This case should serve as a wake up call to Malaysian, especially the Malays. As a Malay myself, I am aware and ashamed to say that Malay parents are nonchalant in parenting. Allowing their children on the streets at night is like sending a sheep into a lion’s den.

In my area alone, it is common to see children playing in the playground and riding their bicycle in groups after hours, sometimes as late as 12 midnight. Such is the upbringing of the Malays.

Trust in strangers or scoring zero in parenting skills?

You decide.

Never let your children out alone. Always accompany them to wherever they wish to go, even if it is just a walk to the playground.

The way Nurin was found tells us that the killer meant for the body to be found.

But why?

Some people harm your loved ones because they believe that would hurt the most. If you love your children, be kind to others, and make no enemies.

No children of such innocence should die this way. I beg you to wise up and protect them.

It’s been so long!!!

Gimme a welcome back, peeps! J

I am back home in Bukit Jambul, spending some quality time with the family.

It’s now 11:00 pm, a windy Saturday night, watching The 70’s show and getting myself wet with Steven Hyde.

Yeap, Steven Hyde is HOT! I am also currently sipping peppermint tea after a strenuous 40 minutes cardio, and reading CLEO.

All this boredom aside, I am waiting for the rain to come. Yes, it’s quite windy now and the chill promises a good night sleep.

Earlier this week, my email was bombarded with pictures of tudung girls getting chummy with pigs. (see attached pic. Plenty of pictures from where it came from).

Yes mister, pigs as in the animal that ate poop in Noah’s ark.

The same animal that is haram in Islam.

There were mixed reaction to the pictures, really. Some liberal Muslims claim that it is alright for those girls (with or without tudung) to touch dogs and pigs as long as they samak (a ritual of washing the contact area seven times with water and mud) after touching the animals. Others shot back, saying we should not be making up excuses to touch the pigs, cute notwithstanding.

Haram is Haram (let’s write them in stones, shall we?).

My two cents?

These girls are veterinarian students for God’s sake! Islam is liberal in the sense that there’s always a way around it. If a Muslim had to be in contact with pigs and dogs, all they need to do is samak.

There is a huge different between Haram and Najis.

Eating pork is haram.

Touching pigs and doggies is Najis Besar (wow, those years in agama classes sure as hell paid off!)

It would be inhumane to deny pigs and dogs their rights to live because of religion now wouldn’t it?

That said, I feel it’s alright for the girls or Muslim veterinarian students to touch pigs and dogs.

What they did wrong was taking those pictures.

Can’t they be any more discreet?

Now, THAT’S a line even I won’t cross.

If you don’t respect your religion, who else would?

This might come off wrong but Happy Ramadhan to all my muslim hommies…although i know most of you guys are not fasting…hehehe

GODSPEED!

You know what? I love fashion! I do! I do! I do!

I love Lily Allen!

I LOVE waking up 2 hours early and work on my magic.

*Puts left hand on her Paris Hilton bag* I take back every bad words i said about the feminine girls. I do. I hereby swear i will not make fun of their scarfs and their oversized sunglasses anymore.

Unless neccessary.

*Shy* Oh god, this is the side effect from watching too much E!

Yayang installing the astro at our crib isn’t helping.

I love turning 25 and fabulous!

p’s: Mills is in good mood because her new bob hairstyle gets excellent review from friends and colleagues. She feeds on compliments. She is currently waiting for people to catch the bob fever from her.

pps: A relic from the ‘Flower Power’ era, Mills’ pot-smoking guru told her to focus on happy things in life. She is currently watching Simpsons and laughing at Barney.

I welcome Gwen Stefani to Malaysia. Heck, if i had the money, i’d buy the front row tickets for my entire family.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,291841,00.html

A group of students protested. Said that Gwen’s steamy perfomances ‘mampu meruntuhkan akhlak orang Islam di Malaysia’.

You know what? Our moral is screwed up as it is without Gwen coming here and flashing her thongs at us.

There’s this Gang Bang Sentul (5 malay boys going at it with one girl) clip going around and i was disgusted.

If it’s conventional sex (one on one) i’d be okay with that. But never gang bang (or some may say, kenduri).

I might be social but there are just some lines that even I wouldn’t cross.

When it comes to Malaysian Made amateur porns, you seldom see Chinese or Indian clips. Most of these clips are often Malay couple.

My question is, What is wrong with us?

We’re going to the dogs. 

I feel it’s senseless to have ‘it’s complicated’ as your status.

It’s either you’re in a relationship or you’re single. There’s no such thing as in Limbo.

Here in Friendster, the good people let you check the ‘It’s complicated’ box.

Let me tell you this. It’s only complicated when a man has more than 5 girlfriends. That’s why it’s complicated.

Anyone who thinks i’m wrong, i stand corrected.

Anyways, as a birthday present for August babies, here’s a present for ya’ll from yours truly:
