What Do Women Really Want...Dun the male species always get bugged by this question, when it comes to anything under the sun?? Be it a simple gift, an argument or a discussion.
I came across this forum section in STOMP, where this dude was planning to get something for his gf, but did not know what to get her. He'd wanted it to be surprise, for the gf too. The comments came pouring in.
One suggested getting her flowers. Which comes to my main confusion. Do girls really dig flowers?? In my entire 22 years of existence, and counting, barring for Mummy, I've gotten flowers for girls on three occasions. And after one occasion, the girl broke up with me. haha.
So the next best person I could pose this question too, was the kway teow that sits next to me.
Me: Do women really like flowers?
Yanz: haha, yes. Who you getting for? Some hot chick riiight? tsk.
Me: Aye, noone la. Read sthg off stomp, that's why. About how it can be sweet at times, to give flowers to the girl almost every other time you meet. Won't she get sian? I definitely would ah..
Yanz: Yeah. I have to say I like it too. Even though its a terrible waste of money and they die 3 days later. STILL.... nice what.
Me: Right. So what if a guy gives you artificial flowers instead? Would you think that the intentions are fake??
Yanz: Haha, I guess it depends la. The real thing will always be better even though they die like soon. But artificial flowers last forever. Wooo.. plus for exotic flowers that're not available in Singapore i guess i'd settle for bloody fake ones ah.
Me: Hmm, interesting.
Yanz: Then there are the stuffed ones?? the toy ones, those are CUTE!!!
Me: what the.. Now you know why we are definitely celebrating your 21st party at MacDonalds?? Complete with Ronald and Hamburglar flanking you as you cut your cake. tsk tsk..
Flowers, are just but the tip of the iceberg. There are more, but my storeroom awaits.
Now, to my pet peeve. What's up with fans coming up on CNA, during the sports highlights, shouting out how their team's gonna be the World Champs. Just today, one Ghanaian was shouting away, "I'm very sure, that we will be the champs. I am very, very sure, that we will win it. It is our destiny". Right, and I'm sure Brazil will lay down for your destiny. Tsk tsk.
