Too much of it has left me bereft of the ability to write. Tis a real tragedy. *sob*<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been asked by a good friend to do a short writeup for her cafe for promotional purposes. But I can&#8217;t seem to come up with anything decent. I look at my string of words and I cringe and recoil in horror. But hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to come up with something soon.<br \/>\nIn any case, moving on to another trivial topic, I was reading in Life! yesterday about how single Singaporean women are going over to HK on organised tours to meet single Hong Kong men. And over this upcoming Vesak Day weekend, there are going to be quite a few batches making their way up. A quote from the owner of the company which organises these trips says that HK men are more persistent than their Singaporean counterparts. Singaporean men, supposedly, give up too easily&#8211;one rejection and they back down. HK men, on other hand, are supposedly not so easily rebuffed. So yet again, Singaporean men are upstaged by their foreign counterparts. If it&#8217;s not the <i>gweilo<\/i> then it&#8217;s their Hong Kong cousins. They have my sympathies. Then again, no. They in turn are always comparing us Singaporean women with the supposedly less demanding Malaysian women, the sweeter and more demure Thais, Vietnamese etc. So I suppose it&#8217;s only fair that they get compared too. heh.<br \/>\nSince I&#8217;m going to be in HK over that weekend (No, i&#8217;m not one of those who signed up) because of work (I&#8217;m returning from Beijing via HK), I may very well chance upon one of these single parties if I happen to be at Lan Kwai Fung! Maybe I should gatecrash a party and see if the claims are really true!
