I’m A Natural Seducer

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That’s because you’re a natural at seduction. You don’t realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You’re the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.

What Kind of Seducer Are You?

Natural seducer,

Special For You…

Special for you of children design. It will give you infinite pleasure!

Funny what sort of things you can find in a pasar malam. This one was found at Jurong West pasar malam near my place. I never knew Spiderman can give you “infinite pleasure”.

Another thing I saw there was the VCD sets of Jetman. What is so interesting about them? Well, it has episode titles like “Vacuum Cleaner of Marriage”, “Cup Noodles”, and “Swamp of a Muddy Love”. I wonder how the series is like…

Enjoys infinite pleasure,

Advice to guys…

… from a taxi driver:

[…] when approaching a girl next time, take a peek at her IC to find out where she lives first before getting her.

Read the entire article on a considerate taxi driver at naddie.com.

[via Tomorrow]

Unfortunately, such drivers here in Singapore is pretty rare. Throughout my six-year stay here, except the times when I took the pink London cab and the Mercedes cabs, the number of times that I’ve got a nice taxi driver can be counted by my fingers.

I remember that time I was in Tampines when it started to drizzle. Not wanting to risk the laptop I brought with me, I fetched a taxi near a junction on one of the main roads. Like what I usually do, I settled down in the taxi before saying my destination. But when I mentioned “Jurong West Street 91″, the driver’s face turned sour and “No, no, no, cannot!” spewed out of his mouth.

I didn’t bother much, except saying “Never mind” and exited the taxi, almost slamming the door in the process. OK, I admit Tampines to Boon Lay is quite far, but there certainly was a better way to reject a customer, right? I boarded the next taxi further behind in the queue, and the driver asked me “The taxi just now don’t want, is it?”.

The worst taxi experience I’ve ever had must be that time after a friend’s birthday celebration near Far East Shopping Centre at Orchard. The four of us decided to take a taxi back to NTU hostel. As I’m lazy to tell the entire story all over again, I shall copy the complain letter I wrote to the taxi company after our trip.

The driver did not wear the seat belt properly and made loud remarks and jokes which can be considered as very rude in Malay/Indonesian throughout the trip. When we were silent, driver made an impolite remark that we were sleeping, and increased the volume of the radio, irritating us who were already tired by then. Along the PIE, the driver disregarded safety by talking on the phone without using a headset, and later on opening the driver-side window and gesturing (outside the car) towards another car on the expressway. When exiting the PIE, the driver opened the passenger-side window and made rude and very loud remark (over the passenger sitting next to the driver) towards a car which was involved in an accident. He was almost shouting then. The driver also cut a bus dangerously when turning into a junction inside NTU.

Two weeks later, I received an email saying that the driver had been given a stern warning. Served him right.

I wonder what would tourists think of the quality of service in Singapore if they happen to chance upon such drivers.

Cannot drive,

There was a time…

… when a bear decided to stop blogging during the examination period.

He succeeded—only for 10 days, before temptation started to kick in.

And here he was, back to entertain his readers with useless updates on his life and junk information.

For the first post in this brand new blog, the bear decided to give a peek into his underwear his examination papers.

EE2010 Signals and Systems was funny. The marks given seemed to be too much for the effort needed to solve the problems. An example was a question that could be solved in a page, worth 12 marks. Another was a one-liner worth 3 marks. It only made the bear worried, for he wasn’t sure whether he had included everything he needed. Expected grade: A.

EE2009 Technical Communication was funny. The questions were quite tough, but he seemed to enjoy writing out the essays. He finished the paper on time, but the quality might not be as good, because he rushed through the last question. Expected grade: B.

CS226 Desktop Publishing was funny. Some of the questions were repeated. The bear bearshitted bullshitted through the entire paper, and managed to churn out decent answers. Anyway he was not worried too much, because it was for his minor/Unrestricted Elective requirement and thus he only needed to pass. Expected grade: A or B.

EE2001 Circuit Analysis was funny. The bear was tempted to claw at, munch, and generally kill whoever the person was who set a question which required the bear to use quadratic equations in terms of 107. Nevertheless, the bear felt that it was a paper quite well done. Expected grade: A or B.

Three more papers left.

EE2006 Engineering Mathematics I is on next Monday. The bear is a bit worried, because he still have so much to go through.

EE2008 Data Structure and Algorithms would be on next Wednesday. He is not very worried about this one either, as he was quite sure he can finish the syllabus, even if he only start after the Maths paper.

EE8084 Cyber Security might be a little bit of a problem, with only very little time for preparation. Hopefully the bear can go through the entire syllabus on time.

Well, that’s all from the bear today.

And in case you’re wondering, the bear may not restore old entries, as he felt that he needed a new start in his blogging life. If a reader is interested in getting these entries, he should contact the bear directly.

Beary sincerely yours,
bcc

Complex

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

Straight from The Sis’s fingers (we were chatting on MSN):

exams are here to dy / dx the A students and the normal students and with conditional probability, complete with standard deviation. but there is a limit they can impose on the contiuity that we all can pass, otherwise the probability of passing is gonna be low. and then they will have a series of qns to attend to and then they wun come up with complex numbers to scare the hell out of us

I think she’s quite stressed…

Once again, all the best for exams!

Complex,
