I was in a taxi. Sunday, 5:45. On XinYi just about to turn onto AnHe to go get me a pint of B&C. Then I saw this vision.
Red moto, a real moto with gears and leather saddlebags. Chopper. Girl driving. Oooooh!! Slim, pink top, long blond hair. Shapely and pretty too.
And then she was gone. 
Who is she and where can I find her? Is she single? Attainable? Please tell me she doesnât smoke. I. Am. Smitten.
âTaxi driver: Follow that girl!â
Silly rabbit.
I had two girls in the taxi with me.
So? 
You had them?
Lucky git. :bravo:
Two birds in the cab are worth more than one bird on the bike?
stay away from my house keeper
[quote=âirishstuâ]You had them?

You want to meet them before saying that. Iâve still not recovered.
Gentlemen! Start your engines⌠
[quote=âemilylizzâ]Hello.
Iâm glad you like my bike.

:bravo: :bravo: Isnât forumosa amazing?
Letâs say that the bike is an integral part of a total package, the setting for the symphony, as it were. There are certain fantasy images that haunt most men from the age of 12 or so onwards, and the bombshell individualist glimpsed at a distance is one guaranteed to exercise an unhealthy fascination on any red-blooded male. If youâre going to stay in shape, dress to impress, and ride around on that characterful machine then youâre going to have to get used to accidentally (or on purpose) pushing all the hot buttons you can (or would rather not) imagine whenever you pass a guy who appreciates quality.
Will you please tell your mechanic that itâs OK for him to tell me how to find you? That man takes his customerâs privacy far too seriously and I donât want to have to break in there one night and start going through what passes for a filing system just to track you down.
Or you could just PM me. We have the same bike, btw.
And the troll hooks a big one.
You mean that âemilylizzâ is just Okami in drag? Again?
Look at her JOINING date. November 2004. No troll methinksâŚ

You lot are a disgrace. You donât have an ounce of romance or passion between you.
What the hell is âbuelerâ anyway?
Why no words of empathy, no musings about the advisability of chasing dreams? Have none of you ever seen a girl that you just HAVE TO talk to, never been inspired by the impossible? How is it that not one person has a story to share about a futile quest in search of something as ephemeral as a fantasy? Havenât you ever projected your desires onto someone who just looks like they fit the bill?
Iâm disappointed.
Emily, if you read this, it is my profound belief that romance and adventure will abide no matter what popular culture, and the inadequacies of the many, may try to dictate. And you look like a romantic. You look like one of the few who understands and relishes intense experience. Youâre not just the object of a dream, I believe youâre a dreamer too. And none of these boneheads will ever understand that.
So, Iâll see you at the happy hour then? Iâll be the guy with the pink carnation.
Yeah. At an MRT station today. It wasnât like it was just âHey, check out that eye-candy over thereâ either. There was just⌠something that made me think âWow.â So what do I do? Aloofness. Nice. Being the invisible enigma working yet? Nope.
Sadly, a crippling rejection when I was 13 has stopped me from chasing the dream ever since. That was literally half a lifetime ago. I am pathetic. Iâve had two long-term relationships, but only after really getting to know the woman well as a friend first. All those other little flings etc. were due to the woman making the first move.
People tell me âWhatâs the worst that can happen? She says no.â
Exactly! Itâs pretty damn terrible!
Seriously, I would walk over ragged shards of broken glass (yes, with bare feet) to get the confidence
(it appears - Iâm basing this assumption on the banter on these fora, I hope I am correct and not leaping to any conclusions, and apologise if I have taken too many liberties here)
Loretta has.
But for now thoughts running through my head include:
âNo way sheâs unattached.â
âKahna, have you looked in the damn mirror lately?!â
âWhat the hell could you offer her?â
âYou fucking DIPSHIT!!! Why are you even entertaining these thoughts?! There are reasons you are currently unattached, you jerk!â
Then I start thinking about secluded mountain tops where I can go and weep. (okay, not this last one, but the others, yup.)
I would love to be able to post a description of the woman I saw today and hope for the same result⌠but I kinda stand out in a crowd (not merely because I am a foreigner, I have other âattributesâ that qualify that statement) and the risk of a public humiliation, even for an anonymous online identity (werrrllll⌠some on here know me as well) would cripple me emotionally until I jet back home in a few years time.
P.S. Maybe this post should be moved into the toilet.
P.P.S. Bueller etc. is a reference to the movie âFerris Buellerâs Day Offâ
P.P.P.S. Iâm not looking for sympathy, empathy, or comments about finding a set of balls. I get that on a daily basis. Iâm just⌠well, not ranting. What would it be? Pining? Lamenting? Feeling unnecessarily sorry for myself? Ah well.

Sorry Loretta,
I thought you would have already read this and didnât see the need to double up.
