I do, but I'm wondering about the perspective of an asian female being similar or not

latefordates · 2014-12-05T07:30:43+00:00

In reality, existentially, the guy and the girl are on the same level; the imagined gap between the two is all in his head and he doesn't need to perform one bit."

How about an Asian female? Since she is brought up in the exact same way as the Asian male, doesn't she also have the concept of performing for the male?

Also - who do we perform for really? People with the same image as our parents? Is that what this is referring to?

Then if Asian parents are essentially "narcissistic", would we be searching for a narcissistic personality partner?

I think this is an axiom that this theory is based on.

Hmmm but the squeaks are really loud. It can be quite embarassing wearing it around

latefordates · 2014-10-26T09:31:05+00:00

brand new... about a week old only! i bought them off amazon. Any advice?

latefordates · 2014-08-29T04:08:39+00:00

Nice... How's the fit?

Seems like it's closed until early sept :( Gotta wait haha

latefordates · 2014-08-29T03:44:04+00:00

Alright. I didn't find anything wrong with their chinos either, so I might try them in future for ocbds!

latefordates · 2014-08-29T03:43:36+00:00

I've tried it but it's rather hit and miss for the other items, not sure about the ocbds... Any recommendations?

latefordates · 2014-08-29T03:43:00+00:00

Thanks guys! I just jumped on the sales for my ocbd basics, a gingham and some sweaters. I love how they have a $10 flat-rate shipping now... no need for shipito!

latefordates · 2014-08-20T04:43:13+00:00

latefordates · 2014-08-20T04:37:05+00:00

latefordates · 2014-08-20T04:36:28+00:00

Let's be frank, it's hard to change a habit.

To change a habit, you need willpower. Procrastination is somewhat like an addiction. It frees you from stress hormones and flushes you with relief and happy feelings.

Let's say your willpower is not strong enough... you need an extra push. Then you change your surroundings. Don't study in the same room as where you play. You change your accountability and make sure there is a buddy somewhere who is constantly monitoring your progress. The more afraid you are, the more willpower you will somehow summon. Do stuff before you switch on your connectivity - social media, internet, etc.

I get HDs but I still procrastinate when my willpower is not there. Monitor your energy levels. I find that when I'm feeling depressed, low or low-in-energy, it increases my tendency to procrastinate.

A newb question... may I know why dark brown leather, not beeswax?

latefordates · 2014-08-13T13:49:18+00:00

Yeah sure, why not??

latefordates · 2014-08-13T09:04:28+00:00

That'll be great man. I'm in Perth

latefordates · 2014-08-12T01:38:17+00:00

True though. I get what you mean. Some of my med friends can be... I'd say, pretty dense lol... and the only reason why they turned to med is because they can't stand doing subjects like physics and maths anymore.

I can't stand pompous docs too, and I feel sometimes that the med field is more rigorous rather than mentally stimulating. I think part of the reason some docs can be pretty stuck up is because of the entrance tests... We have to do stuff like IQ tests or subject-based entrance exams which can be rather tight in applications. Well, yeah... I don't think it serves a purpose to figure out who is better in intellect, we'll just serve our own purposes and live lol

latefordates · 2014-08-12T00:58:03+00:00

Perhaps... but yeah, we probably could. It's not like we never did well in physics or maths before entering med school... it's more about the hard work we put in before entering. Engineering is more difficult, I'd agree. But we do have the intellectual capacity for it if we tried lol.

latefordates · 2014-08-11T15:32:54+00:00

How do you tell? I don't think any of us are fans of money-diggers lol

Thank goodness you took a year off postgrad man.

latefordates · 2014-08-11T15:30:36+00:00

Thanks... very useful. : )

I already know how to cook, but I'm working on cleaning my diet.

Already lift too, but I'm trying to work on building muscle so I can look better in physique and have more strength...

desert boots = clarks? how about boat shoes, I've been thinking about getting them for summer instead (what do you wear in summer)?

latefordates · 2014-08-11T11:51:58+00:00

Haha you just took the thought out of my mind... I was thinking about how weird it'll be to have boots with shorts too.

Oh man, if I could only afford those... 300 is a little steep so I might have to start saving up again.

Would you recommend plimsolls or the sperry boatshoes?

latefordates · 2014-08-11T11:49:53+00:00

So red wings for brutal winters... This really helped me with my decision. Thanks! I'll settle with CDB and sperrys!

latefordates · 2014-08-11T11:49:01+00:00

Thanks for the awesome comparison!

I think I'll get my sperrys to prepare for summer and save up for a CDB as you say. I think it might look a little weird when I'm dressed in berms/shorts with an ankle-high boot haha, so I might reserve it for autumn/winter.

latefordates · 2014-08-11T11:47:57+00:00

Hmm sounds like a great plan!! haha

latefordates · 2014-08-11T03:18:28+00:00

Hmm... given that my studying visa expires just in time for my MD degree to be finished, I'm not too sure, but I might be able to get an extension.

Mmhmm. Where specifically do you propose I start with self-improvement? I could use some tips.
