Brimming with sarcasm, cynicism and criticism

Oh wait..I'm not supposed to give free publicity to ingrates...so, will re-title this

The Bold and the Beautiful

Why? It's amazing the kind of sordid news one gets from the gym, enough to base a daytime soap opera on! Yesterday, shelved my original plan to go for Cheng's class at the Curve at 11.30. It's always fun with her, cos Nicholas and gang would be there and it's juts fun. But, BH wanted to go for the 2.45 class instead and since I hadn't seen his parents in a while...well, kill two birds with one stone kinda thing lar.

So back to the sordid stuff...apart from the usual gossip of women tweezing armpit hair, sex in the shower stalls etc, it's sad to note that racism is alive and well in our "muhibah" society. So too is cronyism and "cheapism". Apparently people who come in to LM who are Chinese ask only to be served by Chinese sales staff. members who are Chinese also request pt with only Chinese pt. I wonder if Indians who come in ask only to see an Indian staff member?

As for cyronism...well, heard yesterday also la, got some people use their positions as gf/bf to climb up the corporate ladder...which brings me to "cheapism". Some women are willing to sleep their way up, taking full advantage of the guy to gain a better position, upon confirmation of post, dumping the guy and setting their sights on someone with higher power. I have no respect for people who go up without working for it, but BH pointed out, they did work for it. In his words, "You think its easy spreading your legs open for an ang moh? A lot of work you know, to accommodate their size!

Well, to those women who work hard, without sacrificing your values and who get where they are based on merit...I salute you! So to to those who face all sorts of racism, but still have the dignity and perseverance to plow on, I salute you too. Lets us not forget our pride and who we are, and remember, like all soaps, the good guy eventually wins.
