Ai ya, Bro siodee. Everyone of us has gone through this path before, right? - go out dating, if "ngam"(matching), then "chiak" become your life partner; if not "ngam", go for other dates till you find the right person.

Me writing story? No lah. I dun think I am suitable as a story writer. Just write based on my experience. I am sure, Bro siodee also have story to tell. Must set up a mini GTG and listen to yaor tales.   :laugh:   :laugh:

I have got another one.

Recently, while having a meal at a shopping mall with my wife, I could not help admiring the watch on a lady hand sitting beside our table and also the nice B&R watch on a man wrist sitting a table away behind my wife.
My wife was asking "Why are you admiring the women nest table and the man behind my back?"
I told her I was looking at their hands. And my wife asked, "Hand? What is so special about their hands? If you tell me the woman got nice shapely body or big  :mooning:, I can understand.
If you look at another man, I would have thought you are becoming a "Gay". Don't tell me you have a fetish for hands, ar?"
I told her I was admiring their watches. Period.

Not much story to tell, boring guy, normally I just asked "are you with me?", that's all, one tag line  :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:

I've got one to add. I was shadowing a lawyer for my work experience and it just so happened that I'd bought a new watch the day before (cheap and cheerful Casio, but hey, it had personality  ;)).

We went to court and I sat in the gallery as only lawyers can sit past the bar. My pupil-master asked the judge if I could sit up front, a very nice gesture that he didn't need to make. Up I went, taking my place with great trepidation. 

Throughout the cross-examination, I kept nervously looking at my watch. After a while, the judge, who had noticed my behaviour, asked what was wrong. I was flabbergasted and turned mute.  It was the most awkward silence and luckily, my pupil master broke the ice and managed to pass it off as a joke (something about me being late for a date).

In any case, I was very lucky as the judge found it funny and laughed it off. I ended my mini-pupillage at the firm before the case had concluded but found out later on that the client had won. Who knows, maybe my fidgety ways went towards persuading the judge :D

All the best,

Gavin

haha!! I'm a dentist, we have this 'weird disease' of looking at ppl teeth whenever we chat with them. Sometime I overdid it until the they consciously avoid showing their teeth when talking with me.  :Confused:
But lately I do admire the watches of ppl I met. New 'bad habit'. i think.

Try this and see :
What the Home Ministry wants?
1) take care of the children/household when she is busy? - Can do, even to the extend be the transporter (like me) during Sat(sometimes Sun), clean up house, put children to sleep etc.
2) some time piece/jewelry/clothes? - can accomodate.
3) holiday? - plan around school holidays if children are schooling (any other day is OK if children not an issue)
4) driver? be the transporter and fetch her to the places that she want to go

I believe if one has done all he can do to please the Home Ministry, I do not see the visa/permit being approved.  ;D

Cheers.
