extra marital affair


They were having a discussion on extra marital affair on the morning express.


The Debate was on the shift from the typcial “man having an affair” to woman. Glenn was correcting FD that man are not longer the gender that is gaving extra marital affairs…Women are the one.


True(at least in my opinion). The world has changed. Look around you and you will find the answer. The only advantage for woman is that traditionally, they are deemed to be the weaker gender…

-Channel NewsAsia

Is this really gonna help? As I talk to ppl around me, it is not hard to detect that the last thing that singles want to be deem as is "desperation".

different fate..

We saw a lab at the dogs’ shelter the other day. He looked just like Rex, in turn of his build and behaviour. Only difference, he was abandoned..It was raining. There, inside the dog shelter were cramped inside a confined area. When I turned around to the back of the car, boy boy was sleeping…I told him,”Rex, do u know how fortunate u are?” I know someone was feeling terrible….I could sensed it…


A week later, I bum into Mohan. The first thing that came to my mind was that Lab. He mentioned that for “some reasons” the ex-owner wasn’t able to keep him in the house anymore…I recalled that Lab’s behaviour…he must be thinking, “where’s my family?” I know that expression. Rex has that when daddy is back home late or left him with mummy for far too long……..

can't hide it all...

“u have gained weight huh?!! Your face has became rounder huh?”

She never lie and her tolerance level for gaining weight is super high. So when she made that comment when I got into the car, I know it’s time to watch my weight…sob.

Obesity



We are being warned and reprimmanded for Rex’s obseity..that boy is way over weight. He’s ideal weight is 25kg and this boy is currently weighing 34.5kg…(he was able to reduce by only a kg over the past 1 wk...gonna take a while..)

What is the consequence? He might be gone in no time if he continue to be so heavy if not heavier. His leg will give way and soon he will not be able to walk..

So, boy boy is officially on a diet now(and after all those comments made on his parents, think there should too...sigh)
