marmite — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 12:51:26 +0800

a failed attempt to get a gal, and now she is playing hide and seek with me

to call or not to call?

marmite — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 21:08:39 +0800

hello lyn forumer

it is ok to call gals at anytime (not 3am or whatsoever, normal human timing) whenever i feel bored/want to talk/etc?

i am afraid that gals may brand me as irritating pain-in-the-ass if i call gals so often (well, only once or twice a week)

based on a forumer advice, i start calling ppl already (my classmate), but i am really afraid of being a irratiting pain-in-the-ass in their view..

yes, i am a noob in knowing gals heart.. so pls kindly tell me, call or not to call..plan to call one of my classmate that nv talk to me b4...(well, i get her home, so can get her number, its like 3 weeks ago..)and another classmate,who today treat me rather cold (call her at tanglung festival b4)

so advice needed!

unemployed guy going for employed gal

marmite — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 20:56:03 +0800

hello fellow forumer

i want to ask, it is possible for an unemployed college boy (2nd year) go after girl college student who r working and studying?

i have been searching for the good point of it..

if the Boy(unemployed) with the Gal(employed) togather.. will that means the boy cannot satisfied her now? (in monetary terms)

of course, if the gal do not mind waiting for the boy to be in workforce in another 2 yrs.. that would be fine. but mostly the gal would mind. which gal want a cash-less guys anyway.

some may say,"wait till the boy work only go after her".. if that the case, it may be too late

but if go for it now, it may spark alot of financial problem
e.g.. no nice restaurant, no calling each other everyday, no car, shopping cant buy anything etc.

so.. any advice?

My car get hit!

marmite — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 13:52:40 +0800

hello lyn forumer

i just want to ask.. am i in the wrong side..

well, the back of my car have been hit..in a traffic jam IN a roundabout.. well, i need to brake half way to exit the roundabout cause there is some fella who come too out.. and then i heard a loud bang from the back of my car..

and i am stupid enough to forget to write down his car number..
i know based on the road law.. i am not wrong.. am i right?
does that mean i do not need to worry of anything?

the back of my car (proton saga) its ok.. dentless.. while the one who hit me got his metal-bar 'senget'..(he is driving a mitsubishi pickup truck.. the new one)

cant believe the back of proton saga so hard...

how to be bad boy?

marmite — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:51:00 +0800

as the topic said.. how to be bad boy?

it seem like as a good boy, i cant get any girl-type friends, let alone a girlfriend..

i know there will be gals will say " WE WONT DIG BAD BOY" and as we can observe, the gals dig it, and thus contradict what they say.. the gals always contradict their words with their action anyway

so as i am now.. being too sympathetic..too helpful.. not smoking..not talking vulgar..gals want go home i give her a ride...gals wan ride to college, i also give them without charging them.. i even help them with their assignment

hell, i think i am being too good, but what is good for being good? nothing..

gals still dig bad boy, and good boy like me being used during assignment, quiz, transport.. etc.

so now i ask lyn forumer here.. teach me how to be bad!

1st off, i go courting a gal, say i am interested in her then leave (shy to stand infront of her after telling these word)

then after a week, she ask me, that what i say true or not, i say dunno (yes, stupid me!), after that, the after I brave myself and ask her to be my gf, and she said be friend first... and so on that day i dont care bout it anymore... i keep a distance from her too...

but today.. aihseh, it seem like she spreading the news that i am interested in her.. i dunno the real situation, but it seem like she tell every one close to her, which i think is normal, and her close friend tell others and its spreading like wild fire...

i am like WHAT THE? and what is the point of her doing this? bragging? what to brag about, its like 3 months already.. got feel that time doesnt mean i got feel for her now

now, my sis is not happy with this.. cause its like.. gossip spiraling around her brother...and i am like

should I announce that I am not interested in her and let the gossip spiral around her and not me..

or

go and ask her to be my gf to change gossip topic to true fact?

of course b4 i can take action i must know why she is acting this way...

so any ideas and advice is welcome.. pls dont troll.. thx

marmite — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 16:15:13 +0800

hello fellow gamer

i have finally save enough to buy a game (ori wan lar) but i dunno what game should i buy

i have been aiming for Company of Heroes.. but i need more suggestion

my requirement for a game is

1. fun to play (online and offline)

2. have long replayability (such as civ4)

3. good online support (such as blizzard battlenet)

4. massive online community

5. RTS or FPS, no RPG... there is so many free MMORPG around.. make no sense to waste money on RPG

Communication prob

marmite — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 21:12:22 +0800

hello people

I always wonder how to communicate with gal

lets u know my history: i am from all-boys school,yes, whereby gals are call goddess and being worship upon their arrival when there is a carnival in nearby school.
because of this so i have develope shyness and great respect to gals which lead to me feeling inferiority and insecurity when talking to gals

anyhow, now in college year edi, still dun have any gal-type friend and any gal friend for now (i have 2 ex-s but thats the past)

of course, some may ask, why when u feel inferiority and insecurity when with gal got 2 gf-s b4? well, maybe because i treat them with utmost respect and princess? i do not know

ok.. now to communication style

first year in college, well, i try to be good, praise the gal for anything, even though its "pork chop" i will still say "ur beautiful" basically put up a mask.. i even try helping gals if they need help, offer my help.. but end up the gals run away...

why run away? there is a thought in them that i want to court/chase after them..while i got no intention (they are not my cup of tea)

then nvm, i change my communication style in second year... this time, i will not wear a mask and be myself and be a little bit more selfish to counter the thinking of me courting the gals, but it end up as a failure attempt

a friend of mine told me that i am too straight forward and honest.. thats why i fail

so now the question is this

which communication style should i use to communicate with these lovely venusian?

put up a mask and sweettalk my way?
or
be myself?

some may tell me, be a combination of both... now i am trying to be combination of both..

and i am in 3rd year now... half way line of college life (4 years.. 2 years dip + 2 years degree) and still learning a way to communicate with gals.. aih

any advice is appreciate... aih....

Road Bullies are...

marmite — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 14:33:02 +0800

well, since the road bully issue has come out again, thanks to some Mca fellow who say road rage is 2 person issue..

for me i have been bully many times by road bullies, once i honk them to avoid them from hitting me,they turn on high beam to blind me, another time i get honk for stopping at traffic light, and another i get honk because i was reversing slowly at residential area (there is 2 lane!), and i have been tail gates, flash, and also those ******* suddenlly stop infront of me

ok, to the road bully, did that make u happy? or make u feel powerful?

first of all, ppl honk you(road bully) because U R endangering ppl live, and to leave u out of life regretfulness of costing other ppl life and u should thank us rather then tail gate us or flash high beam light on us, and as u know, flashing high beam light, not only endangering me, but other road user. this is what we call as premature

secondly, why honk other who stop at traffic light? if you are so brave, go take another lane and break the rules! stupid coward!

thirdly, why tail gate other? you tail gate me, u cant get any faster, then when i nv give way, u take another lane, cut in and break, HELLO? what r u trying to do? I thought u r trying to fly? why break? and let me tell u something sudden breaking with no apparent reason, or should we call as obstructing other people way (stationary object) can be charge in court! go and study more road bully! this is what we should call as IDIOTIC!

oh ya, if you wanna be fast, dont tail gate just take another lane... or are you scare of weaving in and out of traffic? and should i say u r a coward, and only brave when u r inside a protective shell (your car)

this post is for the victims of road bully to rant and curse those road bully, and the road bully to think for themselve! so no flaming!
