Yes Jude, I speak chinese, and in a bid to improve my chinese which got shot to bits since I went to ACJC and met all of you, I've been watching chinese shows that have no english subtitles. OK i lie. I actually enjoy watching stupid taiwanese shows. Except the chinese that i pick up sounds very teh. haha.
Anyway, the taiwanese seem to have a real funny idea of what constitutes romance. Every Monday (i think) from 11 to 12pm, there's this Taiwanese show on Channel 8 that's about getting guys to propose to their girlfriends on live tv. (I think our local tv station tried to copy that with much less success). SO anyway, today's episode was about this girlfriend who had 3 conditions before she would say yes.
Her first one was for the boyfriend to quit smoking. Thinking that I could pick up some tips from this, I watched intently. The first method that they employed was to get the guy to look at pictures of deformed babies, decayed lungs, decayed teeth and what not. singapore's been there and done that. has not worked. throw that out of the window.
The second method was for him to eat a whole bittergourd and drink ice water. apparently vegetables like carrots, bittergourd and fruits like guava help stop the cravings. Possible, I thought, but getting K.O. to even go near bittergourd? HA. forget it.
The third method was to (in direct translation) get on the web and follow some simulated woman and do exercise. Which seemed suspiciously like the Great Singapore Workout. yea right.
ANd then last of all, they made the guy go out in public wearing anti smoking stickers and wearing some anti-smoking sash.
So after he supposedly quit (after maybe 3 miraculous hours), the girlfriend says that he has to learn how to catch cockroaches. Otherwise, in the future when she's cooking and a roach comes along, there'll be no one to help her catch it. This is ridiculously funny because this dude is superbly afraid of roaches. So they seal up this room to prevent the roaches from escaping and put this big guy in the room and ask him to catch the roaches bare-hand. which he eventually does. hurray for him.
Then AFTER all that(this all happens in one day, she says that he has to declare his love for her in public. So get this, they dress him up in a leopard Tarzan-ish top with black TIGHTS and put a garland on his head and a bouquet of flowers in his hands. And they dress her up in a hawaiian swimming costume with matching sarong and put them in a public waterpark. Then they get him to propose there. After the proposal, they proceed to frolick in the waterpark a la cheesy karaoke videos.
taiwanese variety shows rock my world.

I got awokened early this morning by an unknown caller. I picked up and realised it was a chinese telemarketer. Shit.
her: 小姐，请问你是学生吗？
me: 我不是。
her: 听你的声音很像是啊！She then proceeds to babble non-stop about wanting me to watch some program on tv and how she's not selling anything and then she says she wants to send me something so i can help her promote it and she proceeds to ask me for my address. which i am unwilling to give. So at this point I say:
me: 对不起，我没兴趣。
her: 如果你没兴趣你为什么要听电话？
me: 你打来我就听吗！对不起，我真的没兴趣！
her:如果你没兴趣你为什么要听电话？（PERSISTS IN GETTING MY ADDRESS）
me: 我没兴趣，我在睡觉！
her: 呐小姐我讲了那么多，你应该清醒了吧？
me: 我现在要挂电话了。byebye.
this is why i hate telemarketers.

So here's the thing I don't get. How can one guy have two girlfriends at the same time and not feel the slightest bit of remorse? How is it possible that a guy in SINGAPORE can have two girlfriends at the same time? I can't even bring myself to consider that possibility. Yet perhaps the reason I can't bring myself to even consider that possibility is precisely because deep down I know that it is possible and I'm scared to confront that possibility.
Can you imagine, being with someone whom you've loved whole-heartedly for like 5 years, giving him your everything, thinking that he was reciprocating by giving you all of him as well. And you conjure up grand images of the future with you and him, hand in hand, with your kids in tow, in your beautifully decorated house and oh-so-perfect life. Then one day you find out, that there is that other girl that he's loved, perhaps equally if not more. And you realise that your whole world is now shattered because suddenly the very foundation of your love has been shaken. You now don't know if everything he's ever said has been a lie, or if he's even loved you at all or if he only loved you out of convenience.
That is fucking scary. Yet possible.
And would I want to know? Would I rather live in oblivion? I say save me the wishy washiness. Tell me sooner so I can rip his head off before proceeding to cry for days and nights.
SIGH. BOYS.
