"What If Someone Better Comes Along?"

lovelyduckling — Sat, 19 May 2012 10:44:14 +0800

For those of you who are in a relationship,

How do you deal with such a thought "what if someone better comes along?"

Esp when you are young and you know you can get someone better (with higher mate value) in the future.

How far can he go in life

lovelyduckling — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 10:43:24 +0800

My brother is 21 years old. He refused to continue his studies right after he finished his SPM because he has no interest and he only wants to earn money. And he dreams of starting his own business one day and becoming rich.

I am not trying to be discouraging but I can't see him get anywhere further in life. For the past 3 to 4 years, he has been changing his job OFTEN. I am not really sure what kind of job he was having but it has to do with sales (products/ credit cards and insurances etc) and he has worked at different parts of the country (depends on where he was posted).. but recently he has returned home to take up a sales-related job that pays so much lower than his previous jobs (can't be compared with other big cities he worked in before where the salary offered was much more attractive la)..

We feel that he should at least master a skill that enables him to survive in the long run (e.g mechanics/ cooking/ cutting hair etc) but he is not interested with jobs like that. He wants an easy "white collar" kinda job where he can dress smartly and use his persuasion to make money. But he has no technical qualification or whatsoever so he can only do sales (if he hits target, he can earn more commission). But he can't even speak good English which puts him at such a disadvantaged position. And if he is serious about starting his own business, he should have started saving for model, but he didn't.. he still doesn't have much savings.

Yes, he is still young but he has been in the industry for quite some time but he hasn't achieved anything or proved us something, in fact, he has gone back to the starting point - back at home.

Any advices? What else can he do in order to have a less gloomy future? If he really wants to excel in doing sales and makes it to the next level, what are the requirements (other than having great network)?

Unfriending exs from FB

lovelyduckling — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 22:50:01 +0800

and MSN, Skype and other social networking sites...

Would u do that to people (not necessarily have to be exs) who have broken your heart? Or u find it plain immature?

I used to laugh at ex-couples who unfriended each other for being childish, yet I have just done that to two guys whom I care but at the same time, are causing me misery. I know I need to toughen up and move on, but due to my obsessive nature, I can't help but keep on stalking their page or constantly checking out whether they are online on messenger etc.. (sometimes for the whole night)

Things didn't get nasty between me and them, but once they find out, I also can't help but wonder how they would think of me I know one of the guys probably won't accept my friend request if I were to resend one to him..

Nervous b4 going out on a date

lovelyduckling — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:04:29 +0800

Oh crap.. am I the only one feeling so nervous about it? (anticipation is another thing)

I mean, this is our third date but then, the previous two we have it at the campus cafeteria.. this time, we are meeting outside campus to have a dinner-movie date.. and no, not couple yet

Guys and girls, anything u particularly do and avoid before going on a date? Any special preparations?

Also, worrying about how I dress... wanna dress something different than I usually do, but wouldn't it be too obvious that I am doing so to try to impress him??? Also, gotta do some homework and think of topics to talk about..

I guess it's the part that we are on the "evaluating" process that makes me so nervous.. (not couple yet)

Chatting sites

lovelyduckling — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:06:22 +0800

I haven't chatted online (with strangers) for a long time. Anyone knows WHERE (only MSN on my laptop) I can meet interesting people (guys to be more specific) with good English to talk to? On the net?

I am damn bored and lonely at the moment :S

Next move?

lovelyduckling — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 16:41:34 +0800

So I like this guy (Btw, thread started two months ago regarding him and everything was removed by mods since I requested so ) and I made the 1st move to confess. So he now knows that I have the feelings for him. He didn't seem to pay any particular attention to me before that. But now, he does. I must say I did make a right thing.
So...have been seeing him in uni for a few weeks. We sat next to each other for dinner (while hanging out with a group of friends), we chatted about more personal stuff (he was the one initiated the convo most the time)... so now what's the next move?

Is he showing interest in me now? My girlfriends all advised me to stay reserve... since I have done what I should do - let him acknowledge my existence and feelings, so now I should let him do the rest of the work if he is really into me... Of course, I am aware he is probably in the process to "evaluate" me...

So anything else I could do now???

Speaking in English...

Types of girls/ guy u wouldn't get involved with..

lovelyduckling — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 11:54:46 +0800

Okay, we are not going to talk about physical attractiveness here

I've started to accept that my ugly personality is what that makes me so unattractive Lately, I have been pointed out by a guy friend that I am selfish. I know I am, but I didn't feel particularly horrible about it before. In fact, I feel nothing if misfortunate happens to others. I am definitely not a loving and caring person either. Never am I an animal or baby lover

So I know this guy is genuinely nice to me (perhaps sees me more than a friend) so I took an advantage of him from time to tome by turning to him only when I needed help or comfort. Now, he has seen through my true colors, no face to use him anymore. Losing someone to turn to

Anyway, back to the topic, what kind of attitudes or characters found in a girl turns u off? Same question applies to girls as well...

Broke = shouldn't get a gf/bf ?

lovelyduckling — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:08:32 +0800

This applies to both guys and girls.
If u are single, u do things alone (no eating out, hardly go movies, no need to dress too nice to impress ur partner etc etc), that way will save $$$... don't u agree?
Of course, dating doesn't (always) have to go movies, eat out etc but still, u will spend more !
Now, with PTPTN loans being able to converse to scholarships for those graduate with first class honors, don't u feel even more pressured? Sure, there are friends who do well but also in a relationship.... but ...what do u think?

Those stalkers

lovelyduckling — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:10:34 +0800

Is there any feature on LYN that enables us to know who the hell been viewing your profile? When I click to view my profile, it states that there are 3 junior members and 2 senior members viewing it. Can't we identify who these members are???

Running out of $$$

lovelyduckling — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:09:55 +0800

I am sure pretty most of us have encountered some circumstances where u get stressed out about not enough money for whatever activities/ items u want.

How worst have u had it?

What would u resort to do to get some $$$$ so that u can carry on with what u want ?

Unless I call home for more money or borrow from friends, or else I have to forget about karaokeing and clubbing No money to withdraw from ATM as well (well, the end of the semester, can't blame me)

Is it such a b**** move that

lovelyduckling — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 22:47:51 +0800

u approve friend requests sent by others (to be more specific, guys) on Facebook, then remove them from your friend list/ networking once u find out that

1) He is someone u don't know (Even if they go to the same uni as I do, I doubt I even come across them before. So what if they did? Unless they made an impression on me, otherwise *shrugs* )
2) He is boring (after checking out his infos) and not the type u dig or would love to meet I can't stand guys that write crappy English

Do u make a fuss about it? I just frankly don't like the idea of strangers having an access or a look into my personal life. But the ironic thing is, I still have these social networking sites no matter how much I hate them... how I think they are strictly for attention seekers and idiots Every friend has it, I need to keep at least one to maintain contacts with them. And dropping a line or two is the simplest and least energy consuming.

Is it too demanding and needy?

lovelyduckling — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:21:00 +0800

Lets say u two don't get to meet (often) or are having a LDR

Is it a bit too much if u want ur partner (or ur friend or whoever u want it to be argh) to talk to u on the phone daily for a few hours straight?

What about him/her sitting in front of the screen and MSN with u for at least three hours a day so that u could carry on with ur daily activities for the rest of the day without feeling so sad,lovesick blahblahblah and while MSNing with u, he/she HAS to pay full attention to u by not multitasking/conversations must flow smoothly etc

What have u done to improve ur looks?

lovelyduckling — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:10:28 +0800

I didn't plan to maintain contact with most my high school friends other than adding them to my Facebook and Friendster profiles which I hardly post up pictures of my latest self.

I am counting down the time....maybe five years from now on, when we finally meet on a reunion dinner after being apart all these time, they will be shocked and impressed with how drastically my outer appearance has changed muahahahahaha

okay back to the topic...so what have u done to improve ur looks? Lets share !!! No modesty please ! And how has that affected ur life as well?

How much do u spend on food daily?

"Crawling back"

lovelyduckling — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:35:53 +0800

Okay,lets be honest...how many of u here have actually begged and asked ur partner to take u back when he/she decided to break it off with u?

Guys are just whiny babies

lovelyduckling — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:53:51 +0800

Okay every forum I went to,there were always guys whining about how materialistic and superficial girls these days are.How these girls look for a guy with degree,properties,looks and others like sense of humour etc etc

Then we also have fat guys asking "Fat dudes,no chance scoring a leng luis as gf?" I was like WTF ...

Look,if u are poor,ugly,fat and with no decent education to impress us girls,THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!! Get a job with better pay,attend courses to improve yourself,get a nice hairstyle and try to dress better rather than sitting ur ass in front the internet and b**** about how unfair this world is and how the girls are shallow by wanting a rich and good-looking guy

Lets face it ... we all want the best for ourselves unless u are content to settle for less(and if that makes u happy,then I have nothing to say)

When u whine about how girls this,how girls that..have u ever looked at yourself ? U guys have your own (ridiculous) standards (esp when u guys have nothing much to bring to the table) - wanting a hot chick with sexy body etc etc etc don't u think u guys are shallow too? Talk about double standard

AND HAVE U EVER HEARD OF GIRLS b****ING "NO GUYS WANT ME BECAUSE I AM FAT AND UGLY???? " We know our problem,thus we fix it.That's why we have slimming centers and plastic surgeries

Kids

lovelyduckling — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:34:04 +0800

Anyone here doesn't like kids?

Does it matter to u that the girl doesn't love kids,that she isn't a particularly loving people.Will that turn u off?

Yea I am one of the girls who see kids as monsters and once they make noise that irritates me,I will smack them or threaten to beat them until they cry
