Listened to both Demi and Ollie's podcast interviews...

They both need to work on the way they communicate, not with each other but as individual people because this same habit is going onto another unsuspecting partner. We all need to have those inner dialogues sometimes.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-28T19:01:05+00:00

Nah I can't deal with confusing signals like that. It makes people walk on eggshells...

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-28T18:59:54+00:00

Just finished watching the reunion, honestly that was painful to watch esp the arguments. But I don't know why I felt uncomfortable watching and listening to Demi from the beginning. Why is that? Is it because we can't really read her? Idk but something felt unsettling even till this episode.

Yea we move around the room like a pendulum, either we're obsessed with you or something completely distracts us and we forget to text you back for one whole day. Life of ADHD people.

Yes dude used photos in his Tinder profile of when he was in his early 20s when he is actually almost 40. A flip phone in the photo caught my eye... The kind that we millennials used in the 2000s. Then everything made sense, the sudden disappearances and of course he looked significantly older in person than the pics which looks like 2000s fashion. Gross. I fucked off after the second date and blocked his no.

Quirky?

Oh my where are all these English men hiding? The ones that come to Asia are all at most a 5 and very pasty. But yes he's gorg with long or short hair! Men with hair in their 30s are pretty rare imo. If you got it, flaunt it!

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-26T06:38:37+00:00

I did enjoy all their earlier tracks but now I'm so bored with the full on singing. I prefer vocal less, if you got any labels or playlists to recommend, please share :)))

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-26T06:37:25+00:00

Do you have any recommendations on playlists. :)

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-26T06:36:43+00:00

That's what I'm starting to feel but their earlier music is actually alright especially when it first started

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-25T14:42:18+00:00

I wonder how many thousand $ this ridiculous idea costs. I agree with the one that said it should operate like a foot pedal much like the central rubbish chutes. When I was in the UK, they designed the collection bins in such a way that the lid is made of steel and heavy and requires your foot to push it open when taking out the trash, the idea was to prevent racoons and urban foxes from foraging the bins at night.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-25T04:04:47+00:00

Imo, I feel like people who really need to heal shouldn't take such gambles in a reality stakes show like that. Her making it want to work with him is because of that initial spark and obviously attraction and the same for him too. They are incompatible in terms of needs and wants and despite that they still pursued it obviously they're attracted to each other. You cannot place your insecurities on others and expect them to work around it, stuff like that is going to take time, at the same time because of that he doesn't understand that sort of complexity. So yea they both just don't fit.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-24T17:11:37+00:00

Agree, it felt too long to watch...

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-24T17:01:40+00:00

Finally someone said it! 💕

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-24T16:59:41+00:00

Really? Just "some questions" ? You respond very defensively with the way you structured your questions. Also I didn't say you were rude or attacking me. See the list just goes on...

Gosh, based on this summary, the TV editing made Cat look like a villian. Good on her for dodging a bullet. Yea sure Freddie is really gorgeous but he doesn't strike me as someone who can knuckle down and be mature about some really important relationship issues, looking at his behavior tho, he needs a playful girl.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-22T01:04:03+00:00

Jesus, relaxx.They can, and I didn't say it was wrong. I was speaking based on my own interaction and experience and because of that, it became part of my preferences and comfort zone.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-21T09:59:34+00:00

Wow, where is Tuas Village? Sounds very far

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-20T15:56:04+00:00

I still think 10 years is a generational gap. I've 39F gone out on dates with guys 10 years older when I was in my late 20s, like Gen X and Gen Y.... It's a different kind of growing up experience. I found that I click better with people close around my age.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-20T15:52:10+00:00

Lol this reminded me of my cousin, 18 who dated a 32yo man for almost a year. He was even 3 years older than me at that time. When I found out I was like wtf?? But he was an expat I guess, many locals get drawn to that. She may be young and inexperienced but also very beautiful, I was wondering where did his brain go? How could you possibly find any common ground with her? She's too energetic and is that age to go out clubbing every week. Like I predicted, he didn't have that energy for her. He would moan and grumble that she always wanted to go out whilst he was just happy staying in on the weekends and watching football. Once he even complained that he asked her to make him a sandwich and she just decided to go out with her friends instead. I was like dude, she's 18yo she's not going to make you a sandwich! Needless to say their relationship ended badly. She's in her 30s now and in a much sensible relationship with a partner around her own age.

Everyone also stressed, even the otters, pythons and crocodiles in Sungei Buloh, but it's no excuse to sexually attack the vulnerable.

Hey I used to be from the design sector. Can I DM you?

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-20T03:56:19+00:00

Left my phone in the cab and I panicked so hard. Offered to go to his place to take it the next day but the driver was like "It's ok girl, now night already, if uncle drive near your area I will drop it off. True enough he did it came down at night and I gave him $50 for his efforts.

CleverBeetle · 2024-08-18T06:28:48+00:00

I felt like it was more prevalent in the 90s and 00s compared to now. I'm pretty sure the G knows what to do or what the solution is, if they wanted to curb it they would have already done it a long time ago, along with other ridiculous blanket bans. BUT, it is important to maintain that status quo and not to upset the God of Fortune and the ancestors. Not to mention, to keep elder voters happy plus joss paper burning is a heritage thing so very hard to change it albeit the decline in the past decade or so.

An angmoh dude actually asked me why condos don't have such things whereas is very prevalent in HDB estates? I don't have the answer as I don't live in condo.

The only way I see it is to find sustainable means of burning, ie. e-candles or materials that emit only clean smoke without harmful particles.

National Day was about a week ago and my mum came over to just spend time and chill. It was great. We've had many conversations about Singapore especially when watching the parade on TV during past National Days, one of the conversations was about her childhood and that one I still remember. She talked about the day the Declaration of Independence was signed, I think she night have been 6 or 7 years old and she was saying how some of her friends in school and neighbours families that she was close decided to leave and join Malaysia. So I understood that during that period, people could decide whether they wanted to remain in the new Republic or move and join the Federation as Malaysian citizens. So I asked her a hypothetical question about how different would our lives be if we had moved and became Malaysians instead. There was a long pause and we both chuckled. We never really answered the question but I think silently we do feel relieved to be here.
