What women find most attractive about men are things like competence. If you are expert at almost anything you will feel more confident and have a sense of who you are. This will show in every aspect of your body language, from the way you walk to the way you look at a woman. And women want men with soul, with passion, with vitality, with a twinkle in their eyes, with the promise of an intense, ecstatic life. When men found a mission, show courage, conviction and competence, they feel fully alive and this connects them to their potency. They feel sexy and if they feel sexy they will be sexy.
So perhaps sexual attraction can take on other less shadowy meanings for us and include playfulness, vigor, intensity, vitality and ecstatic pleasure.
Why the bias towards men, you might be thinking? Well, women are simply better at sensing and responding to non-verbal cues. If I presume to consider where women might change their body language, it is either related to their concerns over excessive male attention, usually triggered by their highly flirtatious unconscious behavior; or their worries about failing to attract men, which usually relates to a mismatch between their internal sexual interest and their external concerns to appear chaste because they believe this is more likely to lead to love.

Went by to Klapson Hotel near Tanjong Pagar MRT station for The Right Room Experience with AsiaRooms.com
Oh just the recept of the Klapson Hotel is WOH~
When was the last time you see a reception counter of a boutique hotel as funky as this?
Pretty cool huh?
Besides the idea of being chauffeured in a Limo, we were given a good time of Manicure, Back Massage, Shoulder Massage and great food.
Alright, raise your hands if you could do with a nice Back or Shoulder Massage right now.
I know right! Working in Singapore, Everyday is a mad rushed, or being forced to slow down by the MRT Trains and hicupps in traffic. All of us deserve a good vacation.
Speaking of vacation, “The Right Room” is AsiaRooms.com ‘s current concern. The Right Room for your vacation. To me, its about having that Safe in the cupboard of somewhere that allows me to safely keep stuff when I’m not around, having that carpeting, having that right lighting. Whats yours?
Tell you something really weird about my vacation, since I often travel alone, I’m often back in the hotel room by 9pm. I believe vacation is about resting, so you can find me spending hours and hours sleeping away or reading a book in the hotel room. I’m weird. 😀 Shopping isn’t my thing. Sight Seeing yes. Its absolutely important to come back to a room where its like a comfort zone away from home.
SO So! AsiaRooms is looking for people to help them review hotel rooms! Yup, You and your friend. Keen? – Top Holiday Destination, The Hotels and the nearby attractions – $10,000 Cash and Prizes
Finished reading the book “More Than A Chat”, felt its a really good book.
I realize that there are many perspective to Counseling. People’s conception of it.
In-fact if you noticed, some of my previous TOTD is from the same book as well.
Happen to pick out one story that I do think is pretty applicable in my life, and I wanna share it here.
Do drop by at the National Library or enquire with the REACH Family Services Centre on how to obtain the book.

Stepping off the escalator that carried throngs of commuters out of the MRT station, Jit Meng found himself wedged in the midst of weekend shoppers sauntering up and down the makeshift covered walkway. A couple, deep in conversation, was exchanging intimate gestures as they walked past. A group of young girls was chirping away gleefully, breaking out in occasional raucous laughter. Lost in the crowd, Jit Meng was pierced with the familiar jab of loneliness, an old acquaintance that had plagued him for most of his life. However, not too long ago, he had learnt a new way of relating to this acquaintance. He remained himself of the intimate friendship and kinship he was privileged to have.
“It is completely fine to be alone,” he reassured himself.
At home in the crowd, he strode on with lightness, making his way leisurely towards a shopping mall. His gaze then fell on a girl sitting on her father’s shoulders. He involuntarily greeted her with a smile and the girl returned his smile with a beam of delight. A flush of warm feeling filled his heart. Yes, he could relish in the good things the world offered and express gratitude for the good things in his life once again. But his countenance and outlook were not like this one year ago when his mind had been filled with only negative thoughts.
Negative Thoughts and Feelings
Jit Meng had just returned to Singapore after spending three years furthering his studies in Canada. He was 28. He found a job as a customer service executive in an information technology company. Though gainfully employed and surrounded by supportive parents, he felt the world he lived in was hostile, where evil seemed to triumph over good. Injustice reigned in him as he pondered over why life did not deal him the fair share of good things he rightly deserved. Questions about why others seemed to have it all but not him loomed over his head. He was cynical about the seemingly good, and pessimistic about what life had to offer. The negativity was so deep-seated that he was not even aware that it was eating him away.
This baker’s hat belonged to William Hine, a third baker on the Titanic. His name is embroidered on the brim.
When I saw this hat, I was like “Oh its so puffy.” and then “Why would anyone wanna bid for that?”
Well, the person can be a very wealthy and influential Baker or a big Somebody in the Pastry industry.
But what really strike me was, “Perhaps its about having a piece of History.” or just having experienced a part of it.
Its no big deal. In-fact (having experienced a part of it) is not a need, its just a want.
Went by to OTO’s e-Shape’s launch and had the chance to try out the product.
Super bling isnt it? 😀
But more than just a nice item,
The new e-Shape is equipped with a unique technology that is based on both acupuncture points and sports science. Users can look forward to detoxification and a healthier digestive system as the e-Shape uses high and varying oscillating speeds to stimulate certain acupressure points on the body.
Designed for a younger and trendier generation, the OTO e-Shape is a sleek and stylish slimming belt that can be attached to different parts of the body – arms, shoulder, abdomen, back, waist, hips, thighs, calves – to be massaged.

The bloggers had the chance to try to bling up our version of the e-Shape, oh mine is so far fetch! Continue reading →
