… unfortunately though, not together 
Am off to spend a couple of days aboard the SuperStar Virgo Cruise Ship. It’s a work-cum-holiday trip, though I’m not anticipating too much work, lol
The Cruise covers Singapore, Malaysia (Penang) & Thailand (Phuket) and I’ll also stay back in Singapore for a bit before I return (which should be before mid-March).
May not have internet access at all during this time but will update my travel blog when I’m back.
Meanwhile, you guys have a task! Sherriff tagged me to describe my “Perfect Lover”. Since I’m off, I leave the task to you…
Here’s what you need to do:
(01) Describe what YOU think would be the characteristics of the perfect lover for ME
(02) Tell me WHY you think so!
You will be judged on:
* How well you know me (i.e. how close your answers are to what mine would have been)
* How interesting your answers are (i.e. in case you think of something I wouldn’t )
If you mail me pics of actual (cute!) guys along with (real!) stats, I’ll consider rigging the contest.
Prizes include virtual chocolates from Singapore & virtual pats-on-the-back

Freud spent 30 years studying people and didn’t have the answer to, “what do women want?” Where do I even begin?! :s
But I’m going to take a shot -
He’s an ‘underwear’ model for CK who’s done his PhD. in Law, features in his own cooking show, travels the world for UNICEF, part time song writer/singer, and on the weekends he likes to go skydiving.
OR
He’s just a regular guy, who happens to be charming, witty, and fun.
Bon voyage! Have fun. =)

Greaaat! Have fun!!
February 23rd, 2006 at 12:38 am
hmmm lesse….
U deserve someone who’s more than ordinary…someone who thinks he is charming , witty , confident and knows how to treat a woman…Even when he’s not under the influence of alcohol.
Somebody like Homer Simpson… LoL

February 23rd, 2006 at 11:23 am
Hmmmmm……Maybe you’ll find him in Australia. I predict that you’ll be making a trip there shortly. Take my word for it there are plenty of ‘perfectly’ normal men here!
February 23rd, 2006 at 2:30 pm
well, now that the prizes are virtual…maybe i;ll let my ideas remain virtual too
P.S: Put up some real chocs on offer…and see what I can come up with!!

Simple guy, confident person, who has good sense of humor, with decent bank balance, non-smoking, non-alcholic, who will take good care of you and can say “melody hai chocolatee…..dekho kitnee chocolatee”
February 24th, 2006 at 3:43 pm
have a gr8 holidays….hope u find a perfect luver on the trip…lol
February 24th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
I’m sure u’d luv a guy with a gr8 sense of humour. He has to be intelligent and shud be well read, ofcourse.
He should be broad minded (shudn’t flinch when he sees yr greek god post.lol).
And lastly, i’m sure u’d want him to be real fun to be with. Good looks, u’d consider only as an added bonus.

A cruise!! wow, aren’t you a lucky girl
Have fun Mel. Hope to see lots of photos.

I also went on a two day cruise from Singapore two months back for the first time.
It was a very exciting experience but beyond a few days, it can get boring.
February 26th, 2006 at 8:22 am
Hope u have a funtastic time on that cruise, u never know what could happen
anyway, will keep my fingers crossed for you. As for the perfect guy, I’d put my money on someone who looks like Brad Pitt(ya, i know very cliched but hey he’s still cute), as funny as Woody Allen n P.G Wodehouse rolled into one, not as rich as Bill Gates but still has enough to keep u in style (U cannot live on love n fresh air, girl!), has that irresistably arrogant air of Darcy, is as smart as whoever created Google(yes, i knew at some point, now I don’t remember)and above everything else is Catholic!
Whew…best of luck on that one, but like I said will keep my fingers crossed.

ok.. here goes..
now back to reality!
it’l be a little tough to find all that in one guy! so u may have to adapt a bit!
March 11th, 2006 at 7:23 am
Well I started considering myself for this, but the freaking fact is I happen to be a bit abnormal
I guess abnormal counts as good ..
Am abnormal cause being a Goan guy I dont drink, dont smoke a puff,I lead the choir,
I walk my dog everyday,I can eat at the cheapest to the most expenxsive restaurant/dhaba with ease,
I can flex my muscles while singing, I got the best curls in town and I go weak in my knees
looking at cute babies.
And I dont even earn a decent stack in my bank balance even which I enjoy to the most..
Importantly I am always smiling…
