男人说法

看一份报纸，听一首歌，出来的结果是什么呢？

最近看了英文报星期天的一片稿，报道新加坡女性对男伴的期望。超过九成的女性认为男士理所当然做的是如下：

• 帮女生开门，
• 支付约会所有开支，
• 帮忙拿手提袋，
• 约会之后送女友回家
  

其中一位受访的男士认为要做这些动作并无不妥，但是需要出自男人的真心，而不是当作是理所当然的。

今天刚好听着张信哲的一首歌，认为极为恰当。因此想到跟大家分享：

男人说法 (张信哲)

（难道男人一定要爱得很辛苦）　
（才能证明对你是真的很在乎 ）
（为什么你会如此的盲目）
（甘心拿一生的幸福一生的幸福一生的幸福来赌注）
我真的想不清楚　
出了什么错误　
你会在我面前哭　拒绝跟我说清楚
送你回家这一路　
回想自己的付出　
心情好无助　
感觉好无辜
一而再的对你让步　
希望给你快乐幸福　
可惜我的付出　你从不曾满足
难道男人一定要爱得很辛苦　
才能证明女人是男人的全部
为什么你总是看不清楚　
任性让人有点招架不住
难道男人一定要爱得很辛苦
才能证明对你是真的很在乎
为什么你会如此的盲目　
甘心拿一生的幸福一生的幸福来赌注
我真的想不清楚

Singaporean Obsession?

It's a well known fact that Singaporeans like love to reverse park. Even Malaysians who have stayed in Singapore for a long time get converted to the habit. So far no one has given any good, practical reason for reverse parking into a parking lot (I mean those where the cars are side-by-side, NOT roadside parking).

I happened to be in a large shopping center carpark late one night, i.e. there are thousands of lots and about less than a hundred cars. The lots are grouped in 2 rows of 5 side-by-side lots, most of which are empty. To my amazement, I saw this one car reversing into a lot in an empty group! Honestly, it was actually EASIER to go in straight to the lot from the other end, since the group was next to a wall.


It's baffling, really ... why someone would still want to reverse into a lot in an EMPTY cluster, when it is so much easier to get into the same position and orientation by driving straight in.

Welcome to Singapore.

Here I have found at least one other (apparently Singaporean) blogger who thinks the same way.

Why I Will Never Have a Girlfriend

I saw this seemingly well-thought out analysis by Tristan Miller - it does seem to make sense - and if you think about it, some people do stay single their whole lives. :)

Here's a snippet in his own words:

So there you have it, my friends—finally, a cogent, scientific, non-self-deprecating argument for why I will never have a girlfriend.

Take a look at the endnotes and references, now these really make sense!

Seen Aboard A North-East Line Train LCD Display

Singapore has established for itself quite a brand name in producing world-class quality, efficient and smooth running systems, so it is quite a rare sight to see an unexpected situation.

To dispel doubts that the picture could be taken from a normal PC installation, the background reflection captured in the photograph quite clearly shows that I am in the train. The style of the seats are also indicative of North-East-Line (NEL) train cars. Now I know they are running Windows NT.

I did some research - ahh just as I thought. This presentation clearly describes the computing, network, and software systems used in the NEL.

Alright, I'll cross post this in Comsul, but with a different emphasis.
