The food correspondent on last week’s Sunday Times, Lifestyle’s taste column was writing on the hip eateries when out of the blue, she used boyfriends that come and go as an analogy to the hip restaurants scene in Singapore. At the end of her write-up, she ended with the statement that one would need to take a few attempts before hitting long-term material.
A day earlier, I met up with two of my girlfriends, Hong & Kong for dinner.
When three 25+ year-old single girls gather at the meal table, the common topic yet again was more lamentations on the lack of good, eligible men & single-hood. Cupid has yet to strike (rightly) for any of us and Hong was saying that he should just strike once and most accurately. Misses or any less than precise hits are most un-welcomed.
Like I always say, only the best need apply. Self-unaware applicants can stuff their applications elsewhere. It is not my fault. I will be too busy if I take second looks at spams…
Oh, by the way, please do not try getting me to patronize any restaurant a second time if I’ve had an unimpressionable first experience…Even when it seems absolutely necessary, I’d rather walk an extra mile to search for the next best. It is better to have the palate spoilt with the best than to spoil it…

Haha, I'm wrongly quoted. I still believe that there are good guys around. Why the pessimism? Just that my heart is divided and shared between david and mr-u-know-who and both of them have thrown their half away. :D
By the way...
"Only the best can apply" is not from me. I welcome applicants of any category, race, type, size, and religion. Someone who makes me smile will be sufficient. Don't need the best. Haha.
Okay. Time for clarification: I was not quoting Hong on point about the lack of good guys. I was quoting the lament on the misses... or wrong hits... or whatever hits-on-freakazoid...
yes. The Only-the-best-need-apply theory is mine....
Okay... I should have also added that the best is usually appreciated only by the beholder.... =p
Hehehe :). I'm sure your best will come. Chin up till then.
