Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...

I just found out that a friend of mine (V) had ask another friend of
mine (C) to help his brother to get a gf. I couldn't believe what I
was hearing. Firstly I never thought C was so helpful in this area. I
know if its me I would have reject V cause I know for sure it would be
a disaster. Can you tell me how are you going to match make a nerd
with a girl. Its like beauty and the beast. Setting up the date is
easy but making the date work is another whole new ball game.

I was surprised C telling me that V bro was dress like a nerd with
thick spectacle, Einstein hair and not very sociable. I wasn't
surprised about the bro but I was surprised C never thought of it
beforehand. I expected at least a briefing from him to the bro and at
least iron out a few issues before actually setting up the dinner. I
guess he and everyone else was embarrassed from the awkward situation
and I can't imagine how he was going to make the closing and etc.

C and I agreed that not only is V bro in need of a total image revamp
but V himself needed to see an image consultant to really change their
outlook. The way we see it was both of them are like twins. Sloppy was
one thing but the least you could do was be open and gentlemen. What I
mean by gentlemen is, at least have the courtesy to be willing to
spend. Don't ever go out for a date being stingy and worry about the
wallet and etc. In my experience, whenever the guys make an approach
usually guys have to be charitable and not stingy. You will never get
anyway being stingy. That is the biggest turn off for any gal. You see
I knew all my my friends weaknesses and I remember giving some good
old advice to C too. He listen and I guess he realise what I was
saying was true and now he is hook to a young chick.

Therefore for the rest, I don't think I will ever be able to change
their mindset cause they are more intellectually smart and hence more
calculative. They are well off and money is not a problem but what
they lack is social skill and the golden heart. I learn this when I
was in school and mingling with all those streetwise kids. You just
can't take your money to grave. What is the point of accumulating all
those wealth when you are not enjoying it at the same time.

Another friend of mine Dr.Y is also another idiot. He doesn't know the
finer point of life at all. We were having dinner at Tony Roma
Restaurant and you know what he said to us all. He said, the food to
him is same as those outside hawker stall. He can't differentiate the
difference and hence it was a waste of money to be going to a great
fine dining restaurant. I almost fainted listening to him. He is
raking in tons and loads of money from the stock market and also
steady stream of income from his practice but yet he lives a simple
life. I don't mind that but sometimes I thought we need to enjoy the
finer point of luxury after working hard throughout our life. What is
the point of him making more money and accumulating wealth ? Is it for
him to live a comfortable life or to show off. Well, if its the simple
life that he's after than no point playing stock market at all. Why
chase something for more when you are already contented with what you
have.
