Shopping for Love (in Singapore)

YES I KNOW IM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN THE PAST WEEK... SUUUUUUUUPER BUSY AH

OK now boys and girls, here's a short update for today.

I saw this article on today's The New Paper but in my haste to get out of the NEL station (cos there was a BIG CHIOBU in front!!!) I simply just junked it into the bin.. what a waste of good stuff..

Here is a story about a lady who went to this new shopping center along downtown Orchard which only sells one thing - the sign outside reads "HUSBANDS FOR SALE" and outside stood a young dashing hunk (not as dashing as me though haha) who shouted slogans to the tune of "Ladies, shop for a husband here" & "We have 7 floors full of eligible guys to choose from!"

The lady thought to herself... "Finally, I get to choose a husband of GOOD STANDARD. Fine, ill do my shopping here!"

Upon entering the shop, she was presented with a whole entire juicy row of guys behind a glass panel. In front of the glass wall stood a sign "WE ARE A PROGRESSIVE ESTABLISHMENT. THE HIGHER UP YOU GO, THE BETTER THE QUALITY" & "1st Floor - Husbands who have at least an 'A' level"

The lady felt that those guys on the 1st floor were too lowly educated and decided to proceed on to the second. The only condition, as explained by the kind attendant was that once you have went up one level, you cannot go down. Lady thought to herself, why not, since she had nothing to lose anyways.

2nd Floor signboard said
"Husbands who have at least a Masters degree"

Lady proceeded on further...

3rd Floor signboard said
"Husbands with a Masters degree who cook for you"

Lady was surprised and wanted to get more, seeing how the quality indeed progressed as she went up..

4th Floor signboard said
"Husbands with a Masters degree, cook for you and will take care of the kids"

Oh boy, Lady was beaming from ear to ear by now. But she wanted more, afterall, there were 7 floors in total. She thought to herself, why shortchange herself when she could get the best deal out there. So she went trudging along..

5th Floor
"Husbands with a Masters degree, cook for you, take care of the kids, well built AND ARE ROMANTIC!"

Lady was so happy that the word "happy" itself couldnt describe her ecstacy. Wait a minute. There are 2 more floors out there. Lady knew she would not want to settle for second best. Afterall, she herself was educated and in the peak of her career. Second best would not suffice.

6th Floor
"Husbands with a Masters degree, cook for you, take care of the kids, are romantic, and listen to your every unreasonable demand"

WOOHOOO! Lady was over the moon, exactly what she wanted! Alas, the draw of the 7th floor was simply irresistible. Lady purposed within herself that she would want the best of the best, took out her newly commissioned Visa Platinum card from her Prada bag and waved it frantically to the attendant who was waiting at the 7th floor rooftop reception for her "Hey you! Missy! I want a husband from the 7th floor!"

7th Floor

THERE WAS NOBODY HERE. The attendant simply referred her to the computer sitting in front of her... "Ma'am please leave your contact details in this database as one of the 3,543,925 other women who have left theirs. We will contact you once a suitable candidate has been found. In the meantime, thank you for your patronage. Here is the lift which will send you directly to our store's entrance."

HAHA WHAT A LOSER!

So whats the morale of the story? ;) Ladies, treasure what you have now. Getting second or third best isnt such a bad idea, really.

P.S. I know V-Day was just a couple of days back and this may seem like a strange untimely post, but the answer is NO, I didnt get dumped by anybody. Cheers.
