Clearance Sale

The siew yoke platter at Crystal Jade Kitchen is the yummiest. You could talk to me about any number of unpleasant things and so long as I'm chewing on the little cubes of roast pork I'm like uh huh. uh huh. yeah, okay.

A friend and I sat down to lunch yesterday and as I chewed down on the crunchy roast pork skin, she asked me if I could set up a certain Mr D with anyone. I waited till I'd swallowed the little pork cube, then said no. Then picked up the next piece and said I'd think about it.

People who are in the dating market should have CVs. This would avoid a massive amount of confusion and misunderstanding. And CVs should come with executive summaries, just bullet points, so that all the essential items are set out on the first page.

For a certain Mr D, the executive summary would read:

1. Good income-earning prospects, excellent educational qualifications
2. Is looking to settle down and get married
3. Still quite young and has all his own hair and teeth
4. Below average in appearance; will not even consider plastic surgery
5. Cannot be trusted to show up for a date by himself (brings friend)
6. Needs to meet a girl who (i) is able to start and maintain conversations; and (ii) wants to have a conversation with him.
7. Quite possibly still a virgin.

I don't know. I think item 4 might be the deal-killer here, but have put all the good points first, so maybe that balances it out. Couldn't decide if item 7 was a deal-maker or a deal-breaker. Anyway.

Any interest? Available while stocks last!

PS. Gremlin, it's not F.O. Eggbert if that's what you are wondering.
PS2. It's not Ian
PS3. It's not Bachelor No. 3 from the previous group.
PS4. It's not my brother.
PS5. It's not your brother.
PS6. It's unlikely that you've gone out with him before.

Smoot you are becoming the dating centre of the Singapore blog world...with you at the helm and all your connections we'll all be married off by summer. ~grin~

Sounds like something from the "defects" pile. I can possibly handle no. 4 but not no. 5 or no. 6!!!

Indiana: What's 4? Your executive summary list and/or the number of women who, uh, know you very well?

Val: Now that my siew yoke euphoria has worn off, I am starting to think there will be no interest.

oh, why is the title "Clearance Sale"? like "lay long lay long" like that. tsk, not very appealing leh...

Gah! 4, 5, 6, 7... I hope the poor dope doesn't know what kind of executive summary his headhunter has composed for him.

No, he is blissfully unaware of the hard sell.

It's akin to selling a good product that is not immediately appealing to the mass audience. It's not appropriate to oversell, otherwise the next thing you know, the product has been rejected and is en-route back to you in used condition.

He is a freebie.

Enjoyed the blog about nintendo ds bundle found it very informative. I found a good website which also features nintendo ds bundle and nintendo ds bundle. The link is great for **uk bargains** including Nintendo Wii, PS2, PS3, games consoles and features famous online stores inc Argos, Marks and Spencer, Empire Direct, LX Direct, Tesco, Next. There is also a chance to play online bingo and try your luck at the online gambling sites available inc roulette, poker and fruit machines. I've also found another site for **free soccer links**. Hope you find these sites interesting - all the best!
