Body nice but head throw away.<br><br>What I realised about Singapore is that the people there in general, especially the younger crowd tend to dress up and groom themselves more, hence the fact that they're not too ugly, or look good in other words.<br><br>Maybe NTU does have more better looking people, it's like Lim Kok Wing of Malaysia, people there are fab.<br><br>But there' one thing true about the Singaporean people, the women are hot, not beautiful, but hot, the men, well, they're not.<br><br>The Gay men, is the same as the women there, hot, but not beautiful.<br><br>Of course, it wouldn't be fair to me saying that there are of course real beautiful people there, I'm just saying in general<img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br><br>Congrats on your post on the news paper though, this comment itself feels like a blogpost of mine.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Jeffrey James | <a href=\"http://jeffreytanggau.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://jeffreytanggau.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 11.16.08 - 5:33 pm | <a href=\"#34571\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34574\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b03c89c07bd2f3203fafb16d2315e333&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Haha, so you're hot person of SMU?<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Jessica | 11.16.08 - 6:13 pm | <a href=\"#34574\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34573\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=b03c89c07bd2f3203fafb16d2315e333&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />By the way, you looked good in the article! <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/content.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br /><span class=\"byline\">           Jessica | 11.16.08 - 6:16 pm | <a href=\"#34573\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34572\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=d164e8dfdd525ce4634f6f09d4de3527&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />yea, wth, the poll was a stupid one.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           kate | 11.17.08 - 8:25 am | <a href=\"#34572\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34609\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />i guess every sch has got their eye candies.<br><br>maybe smu won cus u are in it?:P haha<br /><span class=\"byline\">           russ | <a href=\"http://www.chocolatepistol.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://www.chocolatepistol.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 11.18.08 - 3:36 pm | <a href=\"#34609\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34630\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=450f702ae41ab37fe031b3c1d02e5511&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />haha.. interesting read.<br><br>i agree with you..

afterall, its the centre of attraction. just saying my view here. <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/content.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br /><span class=\"byline\">           gin | 11.20.08 - 12:14 pm | <a href=\"#34663\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34665\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />will you be taking part in the River Regatta this year?<br /><span class=\"byline\">           anon | 11.20.08 - 12:16 pm | <a href=\"#34665\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"34664\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=28\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />beauty is in the eye of the beholder bah...like a fren of mine once said, \"u may think i am handsome, but i think i look like shit!\" :P<br><br>btw, wld u accept if i add u on facebook?
