Flair
They are those little badges which you had probably seen your school mates carrying them on their bag, during your school days.
Those little badges, with fanciful colors, pictures and words
-----
I can still remember when flair were very popular, during my secondary school days.
They were so popular till the school, at one time even prohibits the students from even possessing them.
The reason the school gave?
"These badges are educating our students the wrong things."
If only the students' flair was

But NO!
Their flair was

"I have a Fucking attitude!"
Now we know why the schools are banning flair.
-----
Recently, I am into the "Flair Craze" again.
I was window shopping with my girlfriend the other day, when I saw a stall selling these "interesting" flair.
One of the flair which caught my attention was...

In order to tease my girlfriend (she hates me saying "whatever), I decided to buy this particular flair.
But instead of ONE, I bought SIX different kinds of flair in the end. They just got me hooked to them.
-----
And now, my girlfriend introduced me to an application in Facebook.com

"Pieces of Flair"
And I am seriously being "amused" by all the different kinds of flair being displayed.
Take for example:
Seriously, who doesnt know?
-----
And how about this?

So are we using the stairs to flee or to extinguish the fire?
-----
Sometimes you really wish that you can just slap these idiots and say

"I was just high-five-ing in your face"
-----
And for those "Subway" fans, this is for you...

The new version of "Subway eat fresh"?
-----
The appealing part about this application is that, you are able to "collect" all these flair and pin them up to a corkboard

and showcase it to everyone in Facebook.
And what more, all of these flair are FREE.
This means you can grab as many flair as you want, without even worrying about burning a hole in your wallet.
-----
However, I still prefer to buy those "real" flair and pin it on my bag.
This is because i can pin one of this flair on my bag

"I am dangerous"
and walk around, with no one daring to come close to me.
(Insert evil laughter)
-----
Or maybe pin one of this flair on my T-shirt
"I am Mr Clever"
and show everyone how clever I am
(Insert smart laughter)
-----
Perhaps the next time when I end my post, I should just use

"Bye Bye"
Don't you agree they are just so cute and "amusing"?

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of your Valentine's gift for a girl
Saturday, February 14, 2009
The last few days, while I was in (army) camp, I was being surrounded by this following question.
" What are you giving your girlfriend this Valentine's day?"
Regardless of whether you are single or attached, every army boys in my camp are engaged in this topic.
Thus if one has no idea on what to get for his girlfriend, he won't have to be worried, since ideas of Valentine's day gifts were flying around in the camp.
Let me just share some of the ideas, which I had heard from the boys. Of course, NOT all of the ideas are the perfect Valentine's day gifts.
You are being warned.
-----
1. Flowers

The Good
Girls simply love flowers. You can't deny that.
Even if a particular girl tells you or insists that she doesn't want any flowers for any occasion, but the moment you appear with a bouquet of flowers in front of her, she will simply go overjoyed that for the moment, she is willing to do anything for you.
Perhaps NOT everything, but at least she will find you sweet, won't she?
-----
The Bad
When we say flowers, we mean REAL flowers. Girls don't really prefer to receive artificial, plastic, rubber, metal or whatever flowers. And on Valentine's day, all flowers, except REAL flowers are a big no no to girls.
Imagine this...
The girl is carrying a bonquet of artificial flowers on the street, while the other girls are holding sweet smelling flowers. What will the girl feels?
It is just like you are "relieving" yourself with a artificial "hole", while the other guys are "relieving" themselves with a REAL "hole". What will you feel?
-----
The Ugly
Seriously, I wonder if you are dumb if you had bought poppies for your Valentine's day flowers.
Poppies and roses may look alike but poppies are for
Consolation in time of death
-----
2. Chocolates

The Good
Chocolates is a common yet meaningful gift during Valentine's day gift. You simple cant miss giving chocolates during Valentine's day.
Moreover, girls love chocolates a lot.
I do not know why, but just mentioning chocolates to my girlfriend, she will just simply goes crazy, as though she is like some drug addict, in need of drugs, in this case chocolates.
P.S: I know she is going to kill me if she sees that paragraph.
-----
The Bad
As we know, although chocolates tastes sweet both in the mouth and the heart, it contain a certain amount of calories. And if consumed in a large amount, it can causes weight gain.
The last thing which girls want to have, is to have any weight gain. Even if a small increase of 2kg in their weight, they will complain as if they have gain 200 kg.
And the next thing you know, they will go on a hunger strike, and keep on going to the weighing machine.
And not to mention if your girlfriend is already mmm... horizontally challenged?
-----
The Ugly
Remember the methanol milk incident from China last September?
Do you mind checking the chocolates you have bought? I think they DO contain methanol milk contents.
-----
3. Home made DVD

The Good
From something as simple as going to the beach to going overseas together, you can simply record the events with a Video Camera Recorder(VCR), and upload it to your computer to start creating your own set of DVD.
Simply add some music (which she likes) into the background, and do some editing, you will have your very own-created Valentine's day gift for your girlfriend.
Girls prefer something home-made and creative in terms of Valentine's day gift, seriously.
The Bad
You can have any wonderful and memorial event recorded inside the DVD. But, when I say wonderful and memorial event, I do not mean putting videos of you and her on the bed intimately.
I agree, that is wonderful and memorial but we really do not want any more Tammy or Edison incident.
-----
The Ugly
Moreover, the "Her" we are mentioning about is NOT your girlfriend.
-----
4. A date

The Good
Perhaps the best Valentine's day gift is a date.
Going out with each other, enjoying each accompany is more practical than sending your girlfriend tons and tons of gifts. A girl with the accompany of material items, and not her boyfriend is like a mistress. You wouldn't want your girlfriend to feel that way.
Moreover, you can use this time together, to understand more about each other. And of course, you do not need to spend your brain cell and money on deciding what to buy for her.
-----
The Bad
Although Valentine's day falls on a Saturday, there is no guarantee that she will not be busy on this very special day.
There is no guarantee, she maybe called back for overtime for a urgent project or she is being "booked" by her boss to come back to office for some urgent project meeting.
Nonetheless, in these days of economic downturn, her job and boss are certainly MORE important than going for a date on Valentine's day.
-----
The Ugly
Does her urgent project meeting includes dining and watching movie with her boss?
Does her urgent project includes hugging and kissing her boss?
She may be busy, not with her project, but with another guy (her boss). Certainly her boss is MORE important than you in this economic downturn.
-----
5. A trip to the beach (in the night)

The Good
With the cold breeze blowing, the calming sea waves, the beach is a "certified" romantic place for couples, and is certainly a must go venue for your Valentine's day.
A bonus, will be taking her to the beach in the night. Lying on the soft sand, gazing at the stars in the night, accompanied by the cold breeze and the calming sound of the sea waves.
She will certainly love you for this.
Don't TV dramas always have this kind of scene?
-----
The Bad
Indeed, you are encouraged to enjoy each other accompany under this romantic setting. That is what the beach is for, anyway.
However, please do it with your clothes ON. Although it is late in the night, it doesn't guarantee you that no one will "accidentally" pass by.
We strongly discourage you on mimicking what Miss Zhang (You know who she is) did on the beach few weeks ago.
-----
The Ugly
We hope you don't get a heart attack the next following day, by the newspaper headline.
"Couples caught naked on beach, Pictures included!"
-----
6. Couple T-Shirts

The Good
Couple T-shirts symbolize unity and inseparable between couples.
Without one of the T-shirts, the whole picture couldn't be portrait for what it is meant to be. Similarly, in a relationship, without one of the other party, the whole relationship couldn't be what it is meant to be.
And girls seriously do love gift which contain meaningful thoughts in it.
P.S: Try saying the 2nd paragraph to your girlfriend if you are giving her a couple T-shirt.
-----
The Bad
These days, with the economic downturn, everyone is trying to save on almost everything.
Food, transport, medical, and even on Valentine's day gift.
Where can you buy cheap clothes when clothes are so expensive nowadays? A top selling at Orchard road costs $60 in average. That will be enough for me to buy 18 clothes for those "3 for $10" clothing.
So you are really serious buying those "3 for $10" , with shrinking and fading guaranteed clothing?
-----
The Ugly
"He's a Bastard" (For Her)
"She's a Bitch" (For Him)
So that will be the design of the couple T-shirt you are giving?
P.S: There are these 2 T-shirts selling, while I was looking for my Chinese New Year clothes few weeks ago.
-----
So you are asking me which of the following Valentine's day gift will I be giving to my girlfriend.
It's a secret, unless you are my girlfriend. But I can certainly tell you...
"It is NONE of the above I had mentioned!"
