Hehehe... Sunday Newpaper. So blog material. I SOOO love it. Firstly, congratz to Karen. Karen just renewed her commitment to Jesus by telling the world she has decided to follow him. May your spiritual life always get better everyday! God bless you! Ok... now back to the news...

Edit - Edited due to some anal retentive people. hehe.

The life of an English Premier League footballer. To quote the New Paper, "Orgies, booze, parties, fights and some football". According to a German goalkeeper who played in the premiership for 2 years, a footballer's life is one party after another, sex and more sex. The girl who allegedly got raped, well, she was one of these football groupies. These girls collected sex with pro players like boys collect football stickers. They follow them around and pick them up at bars, or strip for them at strip clubs. Sigh. The life of a footballer. No surprise sooner or later some of these girls, craving attention, tell all to the press and get the football stars in trouble. The stupid stars.

Another interesting article. Apparently, there exists a man, SOOOO stupid, that he agrees to some rules that his girlfriend has set. And its not just one or two rules. its 77 rules. Here are a few examples stated in the Newpaper. Miss Koh Xing Xia(psycho girlfriend) refers to herself as Koh XX and Mr Wong Ying Sheng(stupid boyfriend) as Koh YS :

1) Koh YS cannot sit with bad person or other boy inside MRT without Koh XX permission.

8) Koh YS cannot put bad person or other girl photo inside bag or wallet without Koh XX permission.

12) Koh YS cannot touch other girl private part. Accept Koh YS can touch Koh XX private part only.

16) Koh YS cannot quarrel with Koh XX.

19) Koh YS cannot talk too loud.

22) Koh YS cannot bite straw, t-shirt or pen. Koh XX don't like it.

26) Koh YS cannot get caught in rain at all.

29) Koh YS cannot buy teenage book magazine at all.

31) Koh YS cannot scratch his body. Koh XX don't like it.

40) Koh YS must follow Koh XX instruction everyday.

50) Koh YS cannot buy beer at all. Accept Koh YS want to buy beer, must ask Koh XX permission.

58) Koh YS cannot give hair to bad person or other girl.

64-69) Koh YS cannot share bath towel/toothbrush and toothpaste/face towel/cup and saucers/stationary/food and drink with bad person or other girl.

Ok... Now, everytime Mr Wong breaks one of these rules, Miss Koh will refuse to see him for one month. During that time, they will talk with Mr Wong sitting outside Miss Koh's gate. Mr Wong says, "I love Xing Xia very much and I live for her. I'll agree to anything that she asks for, and i've no problem with any of the rules she has set." When he broke one of the rules once, Xing Xia refused to see him, and he hammered on the door outside her flat and yelled her name, until the police had to come. After he agreed never to break the rules again, and waiting forever outside her door, she agreed to forgive him and give him another chance. But she set even more rules.

Hmm... is this true love? Nah, it is sheer stupidity.

Last week, the women were bashing the men in the Newpaper. To summarise it, they called Singaporean men Chauvanistic, wimpy, sensitive or totally insensitive Mama's boys who can't perform in bed. Today, its the men's turn for revenge. And, expectedly, men complain that women have double standards. They want equality, but still want men to open doors for them. When a sensitive guy tries to win a woman over, he's a wimp. When he turns macho, he becomes a chavanistic pig. Women dominate the house, control the purse strings. Sex is used as a weapon. Women are such control freaks. They do not do housework, and expect the men to do it. So many instance of women cheating because they're husbands "just aren't good enough". Basically they called singapore women unfaithful, dominatrix, jealous mother, double-standard exponent, immature and poor communicators.

Edwin Yeo takes the words right out of my mouth. This is his whole article :
The harsh reality is this : Most men don't know what women want. And really, who can blame us? Unlike men, whose desires can be categorised into beer, women and football, the femal esex is one incredible complexity.

When I say complexity, i'm trying to be nice here. I actually mean to say contradiction, but I really don't want my wife to lock me out of the bedroom tonght. Serious, thought, just think about it.

They want equality, yet they still want doors opened and chairs pulled for them.

They demand we do housework, since they have career these days, but when we clean, they tell us not touch things around the house because we mess them up.

They get insanely jealous if other girls look at their partners, but they themselves crave attention from other men.

They call us sexist when we admire a woman's well-proportioned chest, but its okay if a bunch of girlfriends get together to check out a cute guy's butt.

They can't believe we spend two hours to play computer games, yet see nothing wrong in spending four hours choosing a pair of shoes.

You know, sometimes I wonder if God created women just to have fun with us. I mean, how possible that a being created out of our rib is so confusing to us? This article might sound strange, especially comming from a married man. But you see, I can say all these things with authority because of my lack of understanding of the femaledom didn't hamper the development with my wife. When it comes down to understand women, there are only two things you can really do, but alchohoism is generally frowned upon by society, not to mention that the hangover's a pain. So, there's really only option two.

Which is, don't even try. Just chalk women down as one of those great mysteries in life, like why no women care that Keanu Reeves is a bad actor. You seem I think we're not meant to understand what's going on inside their heads, because then it makes the journey of discovery all that more engaging.

I've known my wife for some 16 years now, and I'm still peeling the layers off her everyday to understand her better. And not just her. Some of my best female friends, I'm also relishing knowing more about them as the years go by. The journey's hit some bumpbs, for sure, but you can never say that its been uninteresting.

If you are a Christian, you will know the women are a gift to men, although he might have been sniggering as He pulled out our rib. I thnk they are, indeed, for the world would be terrible without them. But to paraphrase a line from the movie Spider-Man (who also can't understand women, by the way) they are our gift, they are our curse.
