Catch Your Wave

Thank God the apartment hunting is over. I'm moving into QV!! It's basically this block of offices/apartments/shops in the middle of the city and I have to say for Melbourne it's pretty damn cool. For one thing, Boost Juice is right outside my door. A few doors away I have Max Brenner (and all the cool Italian cafes which I haven't tried yet...but I HAVE TO go to Zaletti's because I walked past and saw what people were eating yesterday...OMG.). And the best part is Safeway is downstairs! I'll never run out of anything again! *biiig smile*

I took tons of pics yesterday but I'm not uploading pics, so here!



That's like the outside of QV uhmmm...one side of it?? Lol. It's like supposed to be a really modern place. All the shops are like designer clothes stores with prices I can't even afford to dream about. Needless to say I've never even stepped foot inside any one of them. And they're always having fashion shows in QV. Can you imagine how frumpy and ugly I feel whenever I go there? Omg, imagine...me in my house clothes running to Safeway, casuing models and rich Hongkie girls toting 10 or so shopping bags to make way in disgust. Ewwww.



That's like the inside of QV. I think it's the main shopping strip. Not particularly relevant or anything but uhhh I just like it cos it's colourful. LOL.

Btw I am so addicted to the Click Five. So poppy, but oh so good. Catch Your Wave is sooo hummable! But "hey girl you've got an undertow"???? What's kind of analogy is that?? Undertows drag innocent people out to sea and drown them! Urgh.

Ok, as my grand ending, I shall talk about something completely off topic. This might come in useful for guys who still cannot understand the workings of the female species.

It's not about what you did. It's about WHAT YOU SAID.

You know why arguments and bitch fights and misunderstandings involving females happen? 80% of the time, it's because of the way you say things. It wasn't that my best friend stole my clothes, or my husband left the toilet seat up. It's because of how bitchy they are when you try to talk to them about it. Picture, if you will:

Scenario #1

Woman: Husband, you left the toilet seat up again. Next time remember to put it down ok??

Husband: It's not that hard for you to put it down yourself right?

(Ok here is where you are RIGHT. It is not hard for us to put it down ourselves. BUT. This shows that you do not care enough/are not considerate enough/do not remember what we ask = you don't care what we feel.)

Woman: *a bit miffed* No, but I told you so many times already. It's also not hard for you to put it back down after you're done.

Husband: Uhhh...okayyyy....

(Husband is DEAD. At this point he should just agree. Because this shows that he is not taking her feelings into consideration even when she asks him nicely. She made all this effort and he's just disregarding it. DIE.)

Woman: So are you going to put it down next time??

Husband: Uhhh...see how....

Woman: Haven't you been listening to what I've said?

Husband: Yeah..but...it's not hard for you to put it down so whats the big deal anyway?

(It's a big deal because she brought it up already so it's obviously bothering her, you dolt.)

Woman: #%$@#%$#%$

And from here it'll probably launch off into a full-fledged argument about how it is not hard for either one of them to put down the toilet seat. I'm sure everyone has had a similar experience with their bfs/gfs regarding something similarly stupid/small/insignificant eg him holding her hand too tight or her launghing too loud or something like that. Basically guys, it is not because of what you are doing, you understand anot. Your gfs get angry at you because you do not handle it tactfully when they bring it up. Because when they bring it up, they are also trying to see how much you love them and therefore how much you care about their comfort. If you just treat them like we're ma fan and whiny, you can say bye bye to your plans and be prepared to pujuk one angry gf.

See, life would be so much easier if you just acted like how the husband does in Scenario #2.

Scenario #2:

Woman: Husband, you left the toilet seat up. Next time remember to put it down ok?

Husband: Oh really? Ok ok, sorry ah.

Ta-dah! End of story!

See? Women are easy to understand after all :)

Honestly speaking, I think this principle applies to all females. Even when they fight amongst each other. I mean really, as a girl, how often do you have fights with your friend or sister or mom solely because of the action they took? It's never just about that - it's also because of the bitchy tone they used when you talked about it, or how dismissive they were, or how stupid they made you feel, or how they subtly blamed it on you when it was really their fault, yada yada yada.

Yawwwwn. I wonder if that's a problem, or something that we all just have to live with?
