Rainbow Garden

Twas the month of March and I've never been so busy! Let's see.. I have officially moved up to Jalan Ipoh, KL i.e. stay closer to work so that I don't have to spend most of my time traveling to the other end of the world (or just another lame excuse not to drive my drunk ass home). And yes I'm now officially a city dweller! Yipee! Pigeon hole as it may seem, my room is comfy and good enough to sleep (well that's what I do there most of the time anyway). Fell in love with the place when I first found out the name of the area; Rainbow Garden. How hippie does that sounds? So me right?!? Sunshine in Rainbow Garden. Next thing is to grow a poppy plant at my balcony and throw some "happy" party up my place! Weeeeeeee... And my housemates, they are just awesome lah.. English teacher and BM teacher. Perfect.

Mr. Megalomaniac

HE talks too much about himself until I was speechless! Often times I was lost for words. Hardly asked about me. And he had the nerve to put his tongue into my mouth! Euww.. Definitely NOT the one I want.
I want a guy who treats me like a princess, makes me laugh, pampers me, spoils me silly and takes care about me. Makes me happy, relaxes me. Neither easy, sleazy nor selfish. Basically treat me like a queen or else he's just not that into me!
Taken from the book "He's Just Not That Into You" (a movie about it coming soon!) where one part, a reader writes about her situation she's facing related to dating guys, and it sound just a bit waaay too familiar...

Dear Greg, (the author)
I've been on three dates with a guy who's a really great catch. He's a journalist (well not really in my case) who has an incredibly exciting life - he travels, goes on adventures, and has incredibly interesting observations about it all. He's also really funny (nah). He compliments me and seems to like me and keeps asking me out. He always says he's had a great time with me (uh huh..) But in fact, in the three dates we've had together, he actually hasn't asked me one question about myself (hell yeah, right on!). He's obviously really into me otherwise why would he keep asking me out and telling me how nice I look? Maybe this is what it's like dating exciting guys. He's a great catch, Greg!

And this was Greg's reply to Ronda's letter in his book "He's Just Not That Into You"...
Dear Captive Audience,
You are so lucky to be with such an exciting guy. You get to watch him perform conversational masturbation on you (err..). Hot. He's clearly as impressed with himself as you are. I hate to tell you this, but he's just not that into you; he's into how you look listening to him (ouch!). When I met my wife, all I wanted to do was ask her questions. How else was I going to know what she's all about? Yes, I like telling her my story too - I wanted to impress her with feats of glory - but it was an even exchange, because I thought she was the catch. When two people are connecting, they hunger for information about each other, a sliver of what life is like when you're not together, a glimpse into their past, a peek into their mind, all in hopes of getting under their skin. This guy sounds like a megalomaniac. At the very least he should be asking you what kind of underwear you're wearing (LOL!)

Be Courageous

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
