Men Vs Women

EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, the men will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want the change back.
When the women get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.


BATHROOM

A man has seven items in his bathroom, namely toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, deodorant and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.


ARGUMENTS

A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

A married man should forget his mistakes.
There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!


P/S: Angeline receives this email and thought that it was entertaining.
P/P/S: Angeline likes it!

Kindness begets kindness?

Angeline is thinking about it.

No conclusion as yet.

Ugly!

Angeline and Ck went to the Book Fair at Suntec City Convention Hall. Angeline thought of getting some teaching resources and books whereas Ck intended to get some novels or comics.

As they walked around the Hall, Angeline saw a booth that caught her attention and she stood watch for a while. Since Angeline and Ck did not have a caricature done before, Angeline insisted that they get one done there and then. A big mistake made by Angeline.

The end product was UGLY la! Angeline and Ck did not like it a single bit. Angeline thought that her eyes were too small and her face was too big. Ck thought that his glasses were too big and he looked real old. Therefore, the conclusion is Angeline will never do a caricature again, unless she go and learn how to do it and draw herself and Ck!

P/S: Angeline is still feeling sore.
P/P/S: So is Ck.

The Bitches

Angeline had a good start to her June, as she met up with her bitches for dinner and desserts at Clarke Quay! Of course, lots of photographs were taken that night by Angeline's requests, including silly ones.

It started right from the dinner place, Waraku, where the girls were fighting for the 'Melon Shake' and even plates. Angeline wondered how did they manage to get out without paying for the damages done.

It escalated when the bitches were walking across the bridge to look for desserts. Jam suddenly got this idea of taking photogrpahs with the lamp-post and it got everyone cranky with it. So the rest of the bitches played along. The end products were really not that bad!

After which, everyone was beginning to get more and more cranky. Angeline thought that it was rather boring to have the (gorgeous looking) bitches just taking photographs. Thus, Angeline ransacked her bag and found her ..............................

HARRY POTTER GLASSES.

Angeline then asked everyone to pose for a photograph with it. Everyone was very obliging. Now, this was a real treat.

P/S: Angeline is thankful for the bitches in her life.
P/P/S: Angeline did not post the ugliest photo taken that night online yet.

Laughter

Angeline has not been to Cinelesisure for the longest time ever because that place was simply too crowded on the weekends. With some 'luck', she found herself making her way there on a Saturday evening for dinner and a movie.

Upon her arrival at Cineleisure, Angeline met up with the rest, including Ck, Alan, Hazel, and Adriana at Xin Wang HK Cafe. The restaurant was picked by Alan and Hazel and everyone went along with the idea. Angeline saw no reason why not to pick there, as there was no queues waiting to be served.

Angeline has not been to Xin Wang after a long time, as Ck was still nursing that psychological barrier. Thankfully to Alan and Hazel, Angeline was able to eat at the restaurant again. All went well during dinner and Ck looked happy and contented with the food. After dinner, the group was joined by Aaron and Maggie. Everyone was busy chatting till the 'bell' ringed for the movie.

The chosen movie was 'Night at the Museum 2'. If Angeline got it right, she remembered watching 'Night at the Museum' at Cinelesisure a few years ago. What a coincidence!

Laughter was indeed the best medicine for a stressful week at work. The movie got Angeline laughing at the jokes and the MJ session that followed after the moive got Angeline laughing at the winnings. Woosh!

P/S: Angeline and Ck went to Xin Wang at Marina Square soon after.
P/P/S: Read the next entry to find out more.

Disbelief

After a particular incident that took place at Xin Wang Cineleisure a few years back, Ck has been hesitant about dining at that restaurant. After such a long time, Ck finally managed to over this psychological barrier and walked into the restaurant for dinner again.

Thankfully, dinner went on as per normal and Angeline thought things were beginning to look up and they could dine at Xin Wang more frequently. After all, Angeline likes HK food, especially 'Tim Sum'. After dinner, Angeline was craving for desserts and she decided to order the Japanese Mochi with Red Bean Paste. Ck agreed to sharing and so the order was made.

When the dessert was served to the table, the high anticipation by Angeline simply vanished. Opposite the table, Ck instantly revealed a shock expression, which was met with Angeline's. Honestly, the serving was far too small for the price of S$5.90. Going by her instincts, Angeline flashed her camera and urged Ck to take a photograph with his expression. He immediately agreed because he found it to be unbelieveable.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Angeline asked Ck if he would come back again. Angeline expected that answer and she was having the same thought as well.

P/S: Angeline might go back again after a few more years.
P/P/S: Angeline would have to get Ck to agree first.

The Number is 54

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to Daddy!

Happy birthday to you!

It really isn't that difficult to guess how old is Angeline's daddy. Angeline can be so mean at times.

P/S: The celebration dinner was at Crystal Jade.
P/P/S: Everyone attended the dinner. Woosh!
