I thought I would have a lazy day today, enjoying the sunshine and reading my new book - Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. Little did I know that I'd be going for an interview in less than two hours.
Thank God for the wonders of make-up.
And bugger, I don't even have any proper shoes...I hope the dude likes studded sandals...and chipped toe nail polish!
Here goes nothing...

The Universal Problemo
Travelling has been an eye-opener.
Some places I have visited don't have the same problems as back in the UK, e.g. in Singapore, people there are too scared to commit crime and everything is so clean which makes a change from the graffiti and litter you see in the UK.
Some places I have visited do have the same problems as back in the UK, e.g. there are homeless people who beg on the streets.
I haven't travelled the world - to name a few since last year - Spain, Greece, Norway, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Dubai (- admittedly, I haven't stepped out of the airport in Dubai)...
Yes, so I haven't travelled the entire world, but I believe I have discovered what I like to call The Universal Problemo
This problem seems to exist wherever I go. I encounter it quite often. It troubles me somewhat. The incredible thing is - I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!
Yes, you read correctly, I, sexytooth, hold the key to unlock the solution to The Universal Problemo.
One more characteristic - The Universal Problemo only affects the MALE species.
The Universal Problemo = the question that troubles the male species when they meet sexytooth = "How old are you, sexytooth?"
Recent event #1 = I was revisiting this church when I bumped into this guy on the way to the toilet. I couldn't even remember his name. I smiled and said "Hi", and he said, "Hi, how old are you?"
Recent event #2 = I had just moved into my Sydney flat where there are 6 flatmates and 5 chickens. I met one of the German guys downstairs and after introducing ourselves, he also had the attack of The Universal Problemo...I answered "Twenties..." BUT he didn't let go, because the SECOND time I met him, he asked my age AGAIN, but this time like this, "How old EXACTLY are you?"
CRAZY GUYS!!
My usual comeback is "Why do you wanna know?" and the shy guys usually drop it. To shy guys, I award you nuls points...LOL!
But the other day, this other guy answered, quite bluntly (which I personally like, cos honesty is the best policy - but don't tell him that), "I want to see if you are dateable!" To honest guys, I award you my phone number...LOL!
There are those sneaky guys though. They won't directly ask The Universal Problemo, but they will indirectly calculate my age. "How long did you study at University?" "How long have you been working for?" "How old is your youngest brother and what is the age gap?" To sneaky guys, I award you permission to date one of my three sisters...double LOL!!!
Dear The Universal Problemo Affected Male Species,
Don't you know it's rude to ask a lady (yep, that's me) her age? I am as old as I feel and as young as I look!
Kind regards,
Sexytooth

Lucky Number 7
I received a text message from Mr G (see description of him from 2 posts ago)today and he congratulated me for my 1 week (= 7 days!)anniversary in the new place I am staying in (yeah, a bit strange but nice at the same time).
Woohoo! 7 days in my new place! But I haven't even spent much time here as I have been really blessed and been really busy meeting people and going to lotsa places.
Anyway, as a treat, I will treat y'all with 7(not-so-)interesting facts about me which are all from today, yes today, as in, of this day :-
1. My new favourite song is First Love by Utadu Hikaru - I uploaded it to my iTunes last night
2. I met an Irish guy today. He has nice blue eyes.
3. Someone complimented me on my accent "I love your accent!" - note : it was a girl
4. I bit my fingers repeatedly today to stop myself from cussing cos I was so annoyed about not being able to find a suitable ATM machine - it took me 30 minutes...I was ready to explode!
5. I received a wedding invite from someone I met in Australia!
6. I walked 20 minutes to the gym, in my gym gear, but in the end, I didn't even go in to do exercise cos I got hungry and went to the supermarket instead! haha!
7. I should be watching "This Is It" - the MJ film - right now with some friends, but I declined politely.
...And there you go...lucky number 7...one week down, 25 more weeks to go...

I Have A Secret
Everyone has secrets. Everyone!
It just depends whether they decide to share it with anyone.
And just imagine, if they shared that secret with someone...and then that someone shared it with another person and so on...
It wouldn't remain a secret anymore...
And so, I will be one of those annoying people who says, "I have a secret BUT I can't tell you!"
Don't get me wrong...I am a big blabbermouth and am dying to tell someone my secret...but it's just not the right time, not yet...too early...argh...!!! It's driving me up the wall though cos I need advice...
Can you guess what it is??
GUESS GUESS! Makes it more fun!!!

Chivalry
Sometimes I get really annoyed with girls. Girls who manipulate guys. Stupid guys. These girls know fine well that these boys will do anything and everything for them, but these girls will not be clear about where their friendship/relationship stands. And then, the girl will use and abuse the stupid guy till she finds a boyfriend and then, the stupid guy will be lonely again. Wake up stupid guys!!
On the other hand, I also get annoyed with guys. Non-committal guys. Guys who will date stupid girls who fall for their "I will always love you" line, but deep down inside, this guy knows fine well, he could never be with this stupid girl forever, but says these stupid corny crap cos stupid girls will fall for it, but runs at the sound of commitment. Wake up stupid girls!!
I like to give the "I am a manhater, not a maneater" vibe...but in fact, I like guys. Hanging out with guys is more fun than girls. And then, I also think guys like hanging out with me too......BUT...yep, there's a BIG but...
I have realised, in my story, that there are some guys who like to hang out with me cos they have a hidden agenda!!! Yes, they do. At first, they will be very nice and do all these nice things for you.
But when I make it LOUD & CLEAR (which is usually very blunt - I am what the Malaysians call "perasan"), e.g. "I ONLY like you as a friend; I will never ever fancy you...", there are 2 ways the guy reacts.
1. Still treat you as nice - either in hope, they will change your heart and win you over (it's a challenge) or that they are genuinely a nice guy (rare!)
2. Stop doing nice things and treat you like crap (very common - avoid these guys at all costs!)
I encounter a lot of the number 2's (PUN INTENDED!)
Anyway, I was reminded the other day of the word - chivalry - defined as respectful attention especially towards women
And guess what??? Since I started travelling in mid-July, I have met many new and colourful characters and then, I have met some chivalrous guys!!!
Obviously, I have met some nasty guys...nasty, nasty (I know who they are!)...but the chivalrous guys...wow...impressive!
I present to you the single guys who have made "The Chivalrous" list :-
Mr A
- The guy who sent me a facebook message, out of the blue, and described me as "stunning" even though when we spent time together, I had this ugly swollen eye thing going on and no make-up and geeky glasses look!!
- Chivalrous because he sees the beauty within
Mr B
- The guy who doesn't "allow" me to walk home by myself after a night out even though I live in the city centre and insists on driving me home
- Chivalrous because of his caring nature
Mr C
- The guy who initiates saying grace every time we eat together
- Chivalrous because he respects God
(- He also helped me when I was stuck in this social dilemma...but that's another story)
Mr D
- The guy who had a morning coffee waiting for me even though I already told him that I was gonna be late meeting him AND he opened car doors (we only got introduced the day before)
- Chivalrous because of his gentlemanly nature
Mr E
- The guy who has offered me unlimited Diet Coke (my favourite soft drink...shh!! bad for your teeth!!)
- Chivalrous because of his generosity
AND the non-single chivalrous guys :-
Mr F
- The guy who took care of everything AND carried my luggage when we went on a 24-hour trip together
- Chivalrous because of caring and gentlemanly nature
Mr G
- The guy who came over to help me move into my new room AND re-arranged furniture AND changed lightbulbs for me
- Chivalrous because of his helpful nature
In conclusion : Chivalry FTW!!!

SATC
So, I moved into this place in the city centre of Sydney! BEST location ever! Expensive too.
I have 2 male flatmates, 4 female flatmates and 5 chickens living in this house!! YES, for real!!
Anyway, so on my first day of moving in, I had my tv on (yes, I have a tv in my bedroom) really loudly, while I was vacuuming. I also have Foxtel - Aussie digital receiver box (yes, I know, digital tv!...and I also have a dvd player...yes, I know!)
Sex And The City the Movie was on in the background while I was vacuuming amongst all the mess.
I finished vacuuming and went downstairs to the kitchen to get a cloth and multipurpose spray. I was there for 5-10 minutes cos I met another flatmate and did a wee chit chat.
I come back upstairs but before I even open my door, I hear the loudest sex noises EVER!!!
Yes, the stupid movie had this bloody loud sex scene!!!!
My window was wide open and it is on the ground level where I HEAR people when they walk past so OBVIOUSLY they can hear what goes on in my room!!!
I frantically look for the remote control to turn down the volume. I scrambled through the mess and turned the tv off!!!!
Felt so embarrassed...
People who may have heard will either think :-
1. I'm a sex fiend!
or
2. I watch porn at LOUD VOLUMES!
It would be okay if I was a true SATC fan at heart...cos you know, I will sacrifice myself for SATC any day...but I don't give a damn about Sarah Jessica Parker and her friends!!!!
And now, guess what? The guy who lives directly below my room has been chatting me up!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soon, Soon...
I am working on this crazy new project of mine; but getting easily distracted by lots of things - mainly, meeting new people and forming friendships.
It's really hard to get a balanced lifestyle.
My parents ask me constantly, "Have you got a job yet?" - and when they say job, they mean dentist job.
I don't REALLY want to get a job yet cos I need to spend time studying for this new project of mine.
But at the same time, I need the money.
Making friends require lots of money!!! Seriously, it's like a non-stop eating fest in Sydney. The food is bloomin' AMAZING!!!
Anyway, I think I need another couple of weeks before this project can be started.
Just wait for it...
I also got an idea for my book!! Woohoo!!
