| See all of you guys when I get back....
So I will be traveling somewhere for these coming few days, and I expect to be back on Wednesday....
In other words, what I'm saying is that, I'm gonna miss you guys, but of course not as much as you guys gonna be missing me...
Okay yeah I know nobody would even notice if I'm gone, but lets pretend that you guys gonna miss me, just so that I can enjoy my time traveling even more =)
So see all of you when I get back, and hopefully I would not be missing much, especially some of the things/posts that I kinda being anticipating from some of you guys...
And if you know me already, you would have already guessed what I'm gonna do for the time that I'll be disconnected from Xanga... I'm gonna post some future posts after this so that you guys wouldn't notice that I'm off from Xanga throughout those few days... All of this just for you guys, because I know how much you'd be missing me and how heartbreaking it would be if you guys didn't see my posts for a few days...
* Hey don't laugh! Not just yet! I'm still pretending my posts matter, and you should too if you are a good friend... And you can laugh all you want when I have turned my back and walks away =P
Okay, that being said, wish me a good journey =)
You guys are great!
Gonna miss you guys...
Au revoir!

| I logged in and saw "the 10 Horniest Country"?! post...
and I clicked it!
Can you believe that? Hahaha...
Anyhow, as we are on the topic, let's just proceed on it further, shall we?
TOP 10 : HORNIEST COUNTRIES
That was the article from AskMen.com that the dude was commenting on...
And as the list goes (sorry for repeating the already known):
10. Mexico
9 . Switzerland
8 . Spain
7 . Malaysia
6 . Italy
5 . Poland
4 . China
3 . Russia
2 . Brazil
1 . Greece
The post (sorry for not making links for this one as it leads to mancouch, and I just don't link a couch) made a point that it was surprising that the land of sex comedies and porn didn't even make the top 10....
And many of the comments actually agreed! Hahaha (I don't know why I'm laughing at this, but I trully did laugh, and still am)...
Apparently many comments pointed out "how surprising" it is that the US, and the land of the perv, ie. Japan, did not even appear in the list...
(The original article itself also put the UK as the country "surprisingly" not in the top 10)
I guess somehow they forgot that the ranking thing was done on the overall frequency of the countries' citizen are having sex, rather than watch porn, or talk about sex, or brag about sex, or, in the case of the land of the perv, put on cameras on the shoes to see up girls' skirts, etc etc....
(Okay, I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feeling with such statement... If you are new to my posts, you should read most of my post with a laugh rather than with all seriousness)
Note: Whatever I will continue to write does not in any way say that a survey such as this is totally accurate or whatever... But rather just making a sense of it all...
Okay, here's the thing... Of course some of the countries in the top 10 there that seems like they don't belong there, for the reasons like, they are much more conservative than the US... But sometimes the same logic does not apply in different parts of the world...
Here I'm gonna speak from a perspective of a citizen of a coutry that is generally much more conservative, or "less open" to stuff associated with sex, as compared to the US in general... Oh yeah, and my country did appear in the top 10 list...
We generally (still) have a very "strong" opinion about marriage... Meaning, sex before marriage or outside marriage is definitely a big No-No.... (I put that "still" in bracket because the signs are showing a tendency to emulate the US bit by bit)... Now this would seem to be a negative push for the country down the order of the list... But, on the contrary, the number of marriage (in percentage or whatever) is definitely higher... And (I'm gonna make a hasty generalisation here based on the hollywood movies I watched), unlike in the US, the married couples here do actually "get some"... Well, maybe "get a lot of that some".... Thus a push up in the overall ranking order...
Now lets take a look at a different point of view...
How come countries such as the US and Japan are not as active (relatively) in sex?
Okay, one, perhaps the sex industry like porn is quite rampant, thus the decline in the frequency of actual sex... (because people watch more instead of doing)
Second, I guess it is like how it is quite different in my own country between the urban areas and the "less developed" areas (by "less developed" I don't mean poor, but just not "urban" enough, and I don't know how to label it)... We were puzzled some times ago on why the trend of having double digit number of children by parents happens much much much more frequent in the "less urban" (lets call it that) areas...
The general trend is that the posh people tend to have less number of kids, while the people on the opposite of the spectrum are having a lot... In my family circle too, which can be said to be in the spectrum of "middle class professionals", the average number of kids in a family is around six to seven...
So why is this?, we asked...
And someone gave a "great" answer for this...
For "rich" people, they are busy with the work of harvesting wealth... They are mentally occupied all the times, even at home (a generalisation of business people)... And at home, they have all the entertainment they can have, like TV etc... So they can release the tension with all the entertainment they want...
On the other hand, the "poor" people when they got back home, they have no such entertainment available... It's night... No TV to watch... So what to do? Yeah, what else =) It's even more frequent for those who even have limited light source at home... No electricity... Only have that light/burner using gasoline or something... So the kids go to sleep early... It's dark... Want some entertainment... What else is the option, other than that =)
And thus the general trend mentioned....
Hmmm, I guess this should be enough for a post that is kinda "response post" in a way...
Anyway, it is funny how the original article describe how my country to be, and I quote:
In public, this country definitely appears conservative.
........
However, behind closed doors lies (pun totally intended) the real story: Malaysians are swinging from the bedposts, and loving every minute of it.
Hahaha....

| Oh wait, I'm actually TRUE!!
Oh yes I am...
Naah... Not that...
Not that too...
Not that too....
Oh sheesh this is getting ridiculous...
How come google fail me this time...
I couldn't search for the Xanga TRUE badge image...
How come Google can fail??
Is it gonna be the end of this world??
Oh wait, why should I google when I can search for it here on Xanga website...
Oh well, sometimes genius minds tend to think so complicated when it is actually that simple...
Anyway, yes, TRUE am I....
And you know what, I didn't actually realize that I already am TRUE...
That is so me, I guess... so insensitive of the things around me... I guess whoever that is gonna be my wife would be having a miserable life, haha...
Anyway, I guess they accept what I wrote for my TRUE application... It went something like this:
I am as TRUE as a TRUE Xangan can be. I have ditched Friendster for Xanga, and I didn't even try Facebook and MySpace after I have found Xanga. So I believe I deserve that Xanga TRUE badge.
Well it was something like that... I didn't remember my exact words of course, as I sent the application before my post recycling started, which was like more than a month ago...
Oh well....
Note: I believe you can sense that I'm just bored with work

| Is it actually better to wait for "the right one" than settle with what's available ?
Sure you have heard phrases such as this before;
It is better to wait for "the right one"...
Rather than settle with what's available...
Do you stand by those phrase?
Obviously there's two school of thoughts on this one...
1 - Yes, it is better to wait for the right one as life is too short to waste on the wrong one...
2 - No, there's no such things as "the right one", and waiting will only make you losing out on good things in life...
Of course, as life is not only black and white scenario, there's countless number of coulours in between the two...
Some say things like, there's no absolute "the right one", but there's "the right one for you"... Others say something like, you are the one to make that person you already have "the right one"... Or some say stuff like, just settle with "the right now" until that "the right one" comes along...
Obviously I don't know who says these things as I'm making stuffs up to write as I go along...
And for you who believe that there is Miss Right or Mister Right or the such out there, I have already written a post dedicated on the easiest way to find them out.... You can read it by clicking on the link, if you haven't already...
Anyway, back to the said topic....
What do I personally believe?
Do I stand by that phrase?
Well, to be honest, not entirely...
I do believe there are the right ones (not singular, as I believe there are lots of them throughout the entire earth population) out there... But I don't think that it is necessary to wait.... I mean, why wait? Why not do something more productive, like searching for them?
Yeah, you heard me right...
search . for . them .
I don't mean to make this like a life quest of some sort, to leave all behind for a journey across the globe in search of "the one"...
What I mean is, search for them.... Look for them... They are there to be found... Seriously...
Now, I do have friends that would simply ridicule this kind of suggestion.... What, you think that they are that easy to find? If they are, we should have found them already! Yeah, that's what they say...
But trust me, there are my friends (other friends obviously) that would nod instantaneously at my suggestion... In fact, they would point out to the fact that there are a lot of "right ones" they know that "haven't been found"...
So... Why such a different polarity in views and perception on the issue?
Well, if you ask me, I'd say the first group of friends mention actually tried to search for them in a wrong place.... There are a lot of good fishes in the water, but they keep looking for them in the wrong pond altogether... Obviously they keep looking, and searching, and searching, but they always end up with "the wrong ones".... Simply because they keep looking at the wrong pond, and that's what available in such pond...
Now, I'm not actually generalizing all the people are like that, but I do speak from my observations, on friends and others, and that is how it is with many....
and they end up complaining...
So where is the right pond you say? I guess that would be for another post and discussion....
Well, actually I want to see how people respond to my views to this point first before thinking of sharing my thoughts further...
Anyway, do you have anything to share on your personal stand on such phrase?
