You Know You're Addicted To Facebook When...


10. You play with it even in office, especially games like Pacman, Scrabulous and World Traveller IQ.

9. You don't update your Friendster or MySpace accounts anymore.

8. You try to add as many friends as you can as if it were 2002 (during the Friendster craze) all over again.

7. All the latest updates of your friends came from you reading their Facebook profiles.

6. Scissors, paper, stone challenges became fun all over again.

5. "Do you have a Facebook account?" became your new pick-up line.

4. You begin to feel that the fastest way of communication is by drawing or writing messages on your friends' walls.

3. You scour through friends' album pictures hoping you can tag yourself in any of their pictures.

2. You refresh it every 20 seconds to see if there are any new invitations/friend requests/notifications.

1. You neglect updating your blog for 2 whole weeks because you spent too much time on it.

Land of Tai Mei


Just back from Taipei.

It was a really fun trip with the guys as we partied each night till dawn. Tai Meis (Taiwanese chicks) are really something. No pix taken with any of them though, else kenna taupok by the girlfriend.

Tai Mei Observation #1 - Act Cute Face
Spends a hell lot of time dolling up and acting cute. Eye-liner thick like Goth, macham like dun need money lidat. And their fake eye-lashes are so long they can poke your eyes out. Everything done with act-cute spirit. Even their voice also try to act cute. Can't blame them, they make really great eye-candy.

Tai Mei Observation #2 - The Shorter The Better
I have no idea why they even bother wearing shorts. They have a thing for ultra short denim shorts, so short that they're probably illegal in Singapore. Makes their milky-white legs look all the longer perhaps?

Tai Mei Observation #3 - Damn Open Minded
At a club called LAVA, they were having a dance competition for selected Tai Meis who wanted to earn a 2,000NT (~SGD100) ang pow. At first I thought it was a dance competition, but I was wrong. It was more like a striptease competition. C'mon this was like any normal club like Zouk or Dragonfly and these kids were on stage stripping out of their spaggetti straps and denim shorts (G-strings galore!) and dry-humping like their lives depended on it. The eventual winner collected the ang pow with ONLY her G-string on, much to the enjoyment of perverts like ourselves.

Well aside from all that testosterone-pumping night action we also did the touristy bits during the day time like go up to the Taipei 101, shop at Shilin, Xi Men Ding and Wu Fen Bu.



Also when in Taipei, we do what the Taiwanese do. We were gouging ourselves with Ji Pa (fried chicken breast), Aw Lwa Mee Suah (thin noodles with oysters) and Chou Dou Fu (smelly tofu) evert single day! Topped with bubble tea almost every single meal. We also played the silly Zua Zua Le (catch catch fun), stupid UFO game to catch softtoys. Bloody crafty Tai Mei salesgirls would help you to arrange your target softtoy to tempt you to try again. Basket. Then there was the arcade basketball shooting craze too.


Ok. Thats all the pix I have right now. I'll totally encourage anyone to go Taiwan.

Oh, and did I mention that Taiwan TV has got like 10-over channels devoted to investments analysis alone?! Its like technical analysis and fundamental analysis courses on TV!
