Woman is the center around which circles and from which comes the giving of life, and life itself. This is how you should look upon this old mother of yours, and what should guide you in brining up your daughters.

'Poseurism' - the act of behaving like someone most unlike your true self. Un-natural and leaving you confused in its wake. I meet posers everywhere, yours truly included. Light a cigarette, strike a casual, heavily-loaded pose and exhale conversational bullshit. We are all pushing and shoving to stand out in this sea of Singaporeans. Anything to make ourselves identify with the farangs from distant lands, oh benevolent benefactors of 'high culture'.

Sugar High Tuesday

Right about in the middle of the month, women need a wholleee lotttaaa chocolate, and a whollleee lotta buttering up.

So don't forget, when you walk past a sweet-smelling cafe and you spy a little fruit tart, step right in and take away an order for two.

My favourites are:
1. Starbuck's Giant Chocolate cookies
2. Subway's assortment of chewy cookies
3. Menotti's petite chocolate lava cake
4. Aunty Su's homemade miniature 'pop'em' chocolate cookies

Our civilization is still in a middle stage, no longer wholly guided by instinct, not yet wholly guided by reason.
