men and women in clubs..

In the context of Singapore, there are mainly 3 types of people in local clubs; this is of course, stereotyping or assuming that each of us possesses either of the 3 traits.

Group A for Women:
They are realistic, understands what powers they need; usually falls under 24 and above age category. Got a good grasp of what their life is gonna be like, looks forward for men with cars, stable income, a good managerial position in their job with good prospects.

They are also intelligent creatures as they've more or less seen it all and thinks that "men are always men" mind set.

Group A for Men:
Knowing how Group A Women feels and what their wants/needs are; these men are always men beings will usually, get a job, get a car, go clubbing, look for girls who are looking for these type of men, spend money, buy beer, fetch her home and usually with an aftermath. Age group? As young as 18, trying to get a car and look "I am out there".

Of course, this is again, assuming on the men are always men mind set. You think you don't belong to any of the groups so far? Read on.

Group B for Women:
This group is a rather simple group to comprehend. The Women falls under below- 24 age category.

Some call them xiao lians, xiao mei mei, girls with thick make ups, low cut dresses, short skirts. Barely making it above 21 or even legal sometimes, they look out for fun, good-looking, if possible, rich and hunky guys to have fun with.

Thinking as if they know it all, these age group of people tend to get cheated very easily and on some special occasions, they transform into single mums which some think sometimes its pretty cool. Why? Buy 1 get 1 (or more) free mah.

Group B for Men:
Simpleton, No Brainer, Grinders, sometimes still takes allowance from Papa/Mama. They like to get, or rather, think its cool to get wasted and get laid in clubs/hotels/homes. Often thinking they're quite good looking, they'll hump almost anything that walks on 2 legs; even bapoks.

If you still don't think you fall in this category... Though I think you should, move on.

Group C for Women:
They are what I called the minorities. In local clubs, you'll see a small group of Women... Well I haven't really seen any so far.

These small groups of Women are there for just 1 purpose, have fun, relax, and drink. Ultimate hard to get chics of them all as they have no intentions of knowing new friends, they're just here in one corner to get their own clic going.

They perhaps, hold a proper day time job, and are the most decent group of them all.

Group C for Men:
Some may say its because they're gutless, they're look-less, or they're just useless.

Small group of non-grinders, non smokers, but just casual drinkers. There to dance, enjoy, perhaps know new friends, but have no intentions of getting laid. Perhaps moral issues? Perhaps humji? Don't matter; this group possesses the utmost moral values of them all.

The percentage of these 3 groups are: 45% - 45% - 10%

Then again, the speculations of such, are just solely from my own observations. Then again, if you DO fall under Group A or B. Why not ask yourself this; what the heck are you doing as of yet?

the pale blue dot

From Wikipedia:
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977. Sagan had pushed for Voyager to take a photo of the Earth when its vantage point reached the edge of the solar system. On February 14, 1990, having completed its primary mission, NASA commanded the spacecraft to turn around to photograph the planets of the Solar System. Between February 14, 1990 and June 6, 1990, one image Voyager returned was of Earth, showing up as a "pale blue dot" in the grainy photo.
Sagan gives the distance as 3.7 billion miles in his book. According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory HORIZONS software system, the following table displays the distances calculated from Voyager to the Earth on the dates indicated.

The picture was taken using a narrow-angle camera at 32° above the ecliptic, and created using blue, green, and violet filters. Narrow-angle cameras, as opposed to wide-angle cameras, are equipped to photograph specific details in an area of interest. The light band over Earth is an artifact of sunlight scattering in the camera's optics, resulting from the small angle between Earth and the Sun. Earth takes up less than a single pixel — NASA says "only 0.12 pixel in size.


Here's the video of Carl Sagan's - pale blue dot, watch it, it's well worth your time:



Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
