Got Car? Just need Kar...

I was amused when my dear pal said her definition of an eligible guy was, "Nice guy. Got car." In her defence, it was an sms, hence the short reply.
I almost burst out laughing. I thought it was funny how having a car elevates one's eligibility status. That has never been part of my criteria. In fact, it was so much out of my radar system that i thought she must be the weird and odd one who would take that into consideration. Until i started doing my little research around did i realise that it was not uncommon for women to consider that.
But i refuse to believe I'm the odd one out. How many of you out there will not? Raise your hands please?
For me, what makes one really eligible will be the potent mix of intelligence + passion for something in life. (Ahem, but passion, in this case, does not include passion for making money. Enough money for a comfortable life is more than enough.)
Intelligence + passion + Kar = Really sexy for YWZ

The Epitomy of Calmness...

Sometimes, all it takes is one or two people to start a movement of some sort.
Wanz and I started a bet to exercise 3 times a week, failing which we will need to treat each other to a meal.
Before i know it, three other people are on board. So if i don't do my exercises, you can imagine how big a hole i will burn in my pocket. And that really keeps me going.
And before i know it, I am starting to pass around copies of VCDs of yoga which i'm currently doing because i really think it has done me a lot of good. (Piracy for health. Will that be good defence?)
And mind you. Exercising is not just about vanity, though i must admit i get swept by a wave of happiness when i see my body toning up. I mean seriously, who don't want to look good right? And I get hungry very easily. (Ok, I've always had good appetite, but now i really just eat. And eat. And eat. And eat.) And the best part is, people say I've slimmed down. Hahaha. So how much better can it get?
Oh, and i forgot to mention how I've always been in a good mood ever since i started on the routine.
So what do you say about starting to exercising? Make a bet. For better health. :P

Do you know where you're going to?

Looking at the lives of people around me, I can't help but be reminded of this song by Diana Ross.

How many of us truly know what we want in life? Do you know where you're going to? What separates great men from the mediocre? With only one life to live, can we ever let ourselves lament over what we should have done and what could have been?

I love life. I believe in possibilities. I believe there are things in this world worth doing and worth living for. I'm happy with my lot in life. Are you? Can you make it better?

Cheers.

Do you know where you're going to?
By Diana Ross

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open doors
What are you hoping for
Do you know

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies
That filled our minds
You knew how I loved you
But my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions
That you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams
Just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long
Before we'll see
How sad the answers
To those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get
What you're hoping for
When you look behind you
There's no open doors
What are you hoping for
Do you know
