OooOOo... The New Paper on Sunday always has plenty of stuff to write about. Apparently the colour sex bracelets have come to Singapore. The bracelets that were very popular in America are now here. What do i mean by sex bracelets? well, if you wear an orange bracelet, it means you want a lap dance. Yellw stands for a hug, green for oral sex and black sexual intercourse. How is it done? if you snap or break someone's black bracelet, he or she must have sex with you. Its the same for the other colours. Teachers have been confiscating bracelets like these in schools all over Singapore. In Singapore, according to most students interviewed, they didn't know anything about it. They only started wearing it because it was 'cool'. But shop owners also have been asked if they sell 'sex bracelets'. Which means many other students also know about it, and buy it for that. In fact, one student actually practices the sex bracelet thing because "Its fun, fashionable and its free. You just have to snatch it from someone to have sex."

Wow. I never knew Singaporeans were this open to sex. I thought Singaporeans were just into casual sex. I just didn't know THIS casual. Guess i'm one of those conservative ones who still think that sex is for after marriage. *shrugs*

Scary, posessive girlfriends. We hear many stories about them, and one of the best is in the New Paper. This poor guy would not be allowed to meet, or even talk on the phone to any female friends. His girlfriend would refuse to let him. The only way he could contact them was though sms. Even his male friends were not spared, as she would accuse him of putting them before him. His girlfriend would go through all his smses to see if anyone besides her had contacted him, even if it was work related or innocent messages like, "Hi, how are you?". Because it upset her to read any sms in his handphone, he would delete them before he got home everyday(they live together).

"She would say things like 'If those girlfriends of yours don't like you, why do they keep smsing you?", said Mr Tan. "I'd find the accusations baseless and leave her alone to calm her down, but she would get even angrier."

The last straw came on Mr Tan's birthday, when he received countless smses from females wishing him a happy birthday. Mr Tan's girlfriend was furious and wanted a breakup.

"I treasured that relationship but.. i couldn't carry on living with someone who couldn't trust me." Mr Tan said.

Now THAT is a possessive girlfriend. How Mr Tan took so long to break up with her(technically it was his girlfriend that broke up with him..) is beyond me. How he could treasure that relationship just blows my mind. i know love is blind but still....

There is a survey that was conducted in America, and apparently most Generation Y(ages 18-24) women would rather settle down, quit their jobs and have a family. The same survey was done in Singapore, and apparently a surprisingly high percentage of SEVENTY PERCENT of Gen Y women would be willing to put aside their degrees, diplomas etc and well-paying jobs to stay at home and have kids. That's actually their dream, or goal, to stay at home and take care of the kids as their husbands go out to work. Gen X(ages 25-35) women, however, have only 40% thinking this way.

Why the sudden change? I have absolutely no idea. Before the feminists start accusing me of being chauvenistic, i would like to clarify that i do not think the woman's place is in the home. I believe, that when you have kids, that at least one parent has to stay at home to take care of the kid, the sex is not an issue. I'm fine with husbands staying at home, and if need be, i would stay at home while my wifey goes out to work(only if she earns much more money than me, though). It has been proven that kids with a stay-at-home parent turn out to be much better members of society. And it heartening to know that about 70% of the next generation of kids will have a stay-at-home parent.
