The Ready-Made Male
I guess the saying is true. “The Perfect Man does only exist in books.” Being single still has its perks sometimes. Well this is coming from me, a single women in her 20′s… Okay, i lied. I’ll be reaching the big 30 soon and feels like, I’ve not accomplished much in my life. I wanted to travel and see the world and that has changed when i didn’t get the job i wanted, but i still wanna travel around Asia and open up my own food place or a cafe someday. Everyone seems to be diving into F&B these days and mine will have to stand out and be a little different from the rest with really awesome food and an awesome place to hang out and chill.
Most people are taken aback when they know of my age, because in a country like Singapore. It is imperative for most Asians to settle down with kids at my age, well that’s just the mindset that people have. The whole point of this post that inspired me to write was with a conversation with a co-worker. She mentioned, at my age, her family would be searching a man for her with all the attributes she looks for in a significant other. I asked her, what if he lacked in the looks departments and she said, her family would def find an attractive male, with looks, and other qualities makes me wonder if there is indeed a ready-made man from out of the fairy tale book… One can only hope!
I was just talking to Cheryl, telling her about A. I’ve not told her about him, if i were to tell her, he will have to be really special. I still had to fill her in a little about the stripper incident with ‘A’ and she said i should have had the relationship defined and then get crazy after and yes, i did got a wee bit crazy with him liking a stripper’s picty and which guy doesn’t like that and i told him that he’d be better off marrying to a stripper and that i won’t compete with loose women. Yes, i know, was a bit much and in my defense, it was the lack of sleep and stuffs with family but still no excuse… I’ve already apologized. I feel awful, for someone who used to call every day, now just send me a text or two and likes my pics on fb instead.I did got a little desperate with the thought of being 30 soon and i learn the hard way. Cheryl, is a person i trust with everything and she said not to think so much of my age but to make sure it’s the right person for me and bolt right away at first signs if he’s not the right person and be careful of sweet words and if his values hasn’t changed then yes, consider it a red flag. I love the wisdom that comes out of Cheryl. She just wants me to make sure i’m choosing the right guy for myself and not waste my time and energy on losers and people with no vision and values- Her words!She asked me what i liked about him, and if he was good looking… hah i told her that looks didn’t really matter much, its the character and personality cos that stays with you and she asked what bout his character that attracted me or lack of… hahhahaha.
I’m moving on from ‘A’- With low quality, comes with low exectation. He’s been with way wayyyyy too many women. I don’t mean to judge… Just a word of advise! Maybe not a good idea to tell your potential significant other you wanna date bout everything with past relationships. Hah
I’M EXCITED FOR RUSSELL… Dont hold back at me Russell Brand! I’m thinking of skipping time & underwear & going straight to bedding him tonite

What’s NOT to Love..Ooooh That Stubble!
If Katy Perry dumped him, he can’t be all that great a catch. Although, he is probably hilarious.
If you do open a food place, I would be an everyday regular customer.
And when you told me your age, I was one of those people taken aback, but only because you look so young. Seriously, I still sometimes think you’re younger than me.
And Cheryl’s right: it’s better to settle down/marry later in life with the right person rather than find someone right away and have a shitty relationship (a relationshit). My dad told me the same thing (again) last night. And while trying to have a serious conversation about relationships, I had to hold back my giggles when he said to “think long and hard…”
I was given this advice I really liked it:
“Don’t try to find the right person, but be the right person.”
“Lean not on your own understanding, but trust God”
“Life doesn’t end when you get married”- my all too wonderful Kathy(married 35yrs)
HA! Russell Brand, you’re just silly girl. But Cheryl’s advice sounds very good. I was married relatively early I suppose, though we have decided to hold off on children for reasons of finances mostly and his dreams of opening his own business. Well, him and Dar’s hubby together, at their house. Anyway, I have told you many times you are beautiful and you don’t look your age at all.
BIG HUGZ!!!
@TutelageOfTheMundane - EXACTLY! That stubble and he makes me laugh:D
@laytexduckie - Eeeee and bring all your friends! I’m still 20..I don’t care. I can imagine how funny it be esp when he speaks it in Cantonese… and it is true to think long and hard when you wanna settle down with someone. it’s a decision of a lifetime and hahaa I like that ben, relationship or (relationshit or relations-hit ) Man, i miss being in a relationship now.:’( I miss the chase, the romance and the attention..
Cheryl’s just so amazing. She’s never had a bf before cos she has such high expectations and she has it all together and it doesn’t bother her one bit if she’s alone. I wish i could be like her and she’s only 26 and so mature and so wise. I own it to her to where i am now actually.
@dorydabomb - Hey dear, your friend got married when she was 35?! Hah so there’s still hope! Cheryl gives great advice. I love her and i consider whatever she says seriously and i was just telling her yesterday how it feels like, with friends in high flying positions or either happily married and kids and dafaq i’m doing with my life and she was saying not to compare and all these things are just man -made. I have to figure out what i want and work from there and most people are happy travelling. I just wanna have my own little family with someone really awesome to share my life with and travelling too.. hahah I’m just experiencing mid life crisis.. Sorry if i’m whinging.
@olwd - I’m happy you met an awesome man who keeps you happy Amy. I hope you have kids soon too. hahahha So cute! Your little minions
Wow.. You beauts! Thank you for all for that lovely compliments, made my day! I feel all bright and cherry and beautiful. I thank you greatly! :D
Much love! x
@mellywelly15 – Hahah, well, Canto is just so…. funny sounding. I know because I speak it (a little). Hahah. I miss being in a relationship too, but it’s better to wait it out for someone who fits you just right. Do not worry, sweetums.
HEHE, Cherry, MMMMMM I’m sure you meant Cheery, as in happy, but I like the idea of cherry for some reason. LOL
