But it works. I’ve successfully match-made 2 friends so far, so it all depends on 2 factors (1)You, and (2) Whom you’re getting to help you find the guys.

In any case, the dating game is one that is not easy to understand.

Getting attached in office is a possibility through like projects or social committess. But be warned there are some attached risks when things don’t work out. In an office environment, usually the reputation of the person comes even before meeting up. I am 100% sure the place you work have married couples there.

You are quite a driven person. Learn to relax and let go a little…

Allow me to paste a small portion of his poetry, courtesy of http://softplaces.livejournal.com/81512.html

In they stride,
Multifaceted pride –
Virgins untainted,
Intact souls with faces painted.
The layers yet to exfoliate,
And the new blood has yet to percolate…
What do these boroughs entail?
The entrails
Of those who fell?
The cartels –
Paradigm of the rich and triumphant?
Or mere disenchanted sycophants?
No strangers to competition,
Epiphytes to other’s ambition…

In they strode,
Alas not into the deset sun they all rode…
Some strode into the tongues of hell;
Others found reason to dwell.
The city
With amazing alacrity,
Stripped all neophytes
Of their inner light,
And laid threadbare their delusions…
And stripped them of facile pretensions…
Sowing the prolific seeds of apprehensions…
Were there expectations
To be had?
No love lost, that bittersweet romance – all a fad?

Some say that a poem should have a natural ebb and flow. Phrases to portray certain imageries and illustrate the essence of the poem should come naturally, and connect with the parts of the poem in a natural flow. What I observed for Wy-En’s Life Bus-stop is that his poem is merely a means to an end, and his end is the use of big, bombastic words. It is almost as if his poem is tailored to fit in these big words, as in these big words dictate his poetry. This can be disruptive to the flow of his poem, and no wonder that Cyril Wong pointed out that it collapses into a plethora of bad verses. I cannot perceive any flow, or connection between parts of his poem. I was actually surprised that he got a generous forward from Edwin Thumboo.

Reading these few lines, I do not perceive this as a work of natural poetic expression, if anything, probably it’s a work of poetic obfuscation. (rhymes huh, obfuscation, a big word indeed!)

Is it little wonder that this collection of poetry is used by PRCs to revise for the verbal section of the SAT? If so, I think the poet has achieved his end of sending out a powerful advertisement of his impressive vocabulary because after all, his poem is, like I said, a means to the aforesaid end!

So when Wy-En said that the local poetry scene lacks the “Oooomph” factor, was he referring to the use of words that you and I rarely encounter, except for those bother to peruse through the entire Oxford dictionary?

P.S. I do not know Wy-En personally, but I merely wish to express my agreement with Wy-En’s detractors.
