FAMILY PLANNING

I love this piece of advice! Definitely something to ponder over. It might just be the only thing that is 100% safe. Thanks Mike!

GIRLS TO SCORE WITH

I read this interesting survey that found a relationship between a woman’s name and how lucky you are to score with her. Apparently, a woman whose first name ends in an “a” is more likely to have sex with you because she seems to have more sexual partners.

The survey was conducted by French online dating service Smartdate who measured the sexual activity of its users. The survey found that “women whose names end with the letter “a” reported having more than the average 4.4 sexual partners during their lifetime.”

Am I reading this right? 4.4?? I had to do a double take and it seems that it was right. It makes me feel a – for a lack of a better term – slut!

So technically, you are more likely to score with a Anna, Emma, Laura and Tania than an Amy, Kate, Susan or Deborah! I however, beg to differ.

Rendezvous Restaurant: Childhood memories of Nasi Padang

Ayam Korma $16.40

I have a few childhood memories of food that I recall very distinctly.  My first meal at Rendezvous is one of them.  It was the first time I ate curry and fell in love with it.  Before Rendezvous, I wouldn't touch curry because I wouldn't eat spicy food, but it was the Ayam Korma which changed all that.

I remember mom insisting that Ayam Korma was a type of curry which was not spicy and persuading me to eat it.  I was hesitant at first, but eventually, when I tried it, I was hooked.  That taste experience is firmly imprinted in my temporal lobes and I have been trying to find that exact same taste again for years.

The other really significant thing about Rendezvous was that it was first time I came across the word "Rendezvous".  Not being as sophisticated as kids are nowadays, my first attempt at pronouncing the French word came out as "Ren Dez Voss", a pronunciation which I still use nowadays, just to irritate my wife and teach the kids some French.

Incidentally, I managed to talk to the 2nd generation owner, Mr Seah King Ming, who told me that the name "Rendezvous" was coined by a friend of his father's at the lawyer's office. The restaurant has been around since 1950 and is arguably the oldest Nasi Padang eatery in Singapore. But the history of the restaurant actually stretches back to before the war.  It started out as Hock Loke Kee which served Western cuisine to cater to the British.  It was after the war and with the gradual withdrawal of the British and Anzac troops that the restaurant decided to introduce Indonesian cuisine to cater to the local population.


Hock Loke Kee before it was renamed Rendezvous

I am sure, many readers would still remember the old restaurant which was located where Hotel Rendezvous now stands.   So famous was Rendezvous restaurant that they named the Hotel after it even though the owners of Rendezvous have no share in the hotel itself.  The restaurant was initially located within the hotel before moving to its present location in Central.

Our group of Kakis were looking for a place to celebrate Soundman's birthday and ended up at Rendezvous.  All of our group of Gen Xers (and Baby Boomer) have been to the old Rendezvous and so our expectations were, understandably, quite high.  I have this theory that nostalgia is the most powerful condiment because I have yet heard anyone say that a present day dish far surpasses that of yesteryear.  The food we used to enjoy in the past would certainly be tastier as the produce would have been fresher and most of it would have been "organic" but I think that its actual taste would have been enhanced by a certain amount of psychological embellishment.  Don't you think so?

Sambal Eggs $3

But even if I discounted the psychological embellishment, I must say that I was less than enthralled by the food at Rendezvous that day.  When the Ayam Korma was served, I managed to detect that familiar smell but alas the taste didn't quite give me that "Anton Ego" moment which I sought.  When I first ate the Ayam Korma years ago, I couldn't stop eating the rice with the gravy.   However, the Ayam Korma that day felt like I was listening to Mozart through my telephone.  3.75/5

I am not sure if it is because I am more accustomed to eating spicy foods now that I am older but the Sambal Eggs in the good old days seemed to be much spicier.  I remember eating them and then having to swallow copious amounts of water.  The sambal seems much less spicy now but still goes very well with the eggs.  Think Nasi Lemak and you can understand that the combination of egg and sambal works remarkably well!  4/5


Beef Rendang $12.60

The Beef Rendang was nice but again I felt that it lacked that extra ooomph especially considering that it is much more expensive than what you can get from the neighbourhood Nasi Padang stall.  The beef was tender but the gravy came across as a lazy pussycat rather then a snarling tiger.  4/5


Brinjal $6.20

The one dish which was commendable was the sambal brinjal.  The brinjal was cooked just nice and I liked how the natural sweetness was balanced by the sambal.  It was the best dish of the day.  4.25/5


Cuttlefish Sambal $12.60

The Cuttlefish Sambal was actually very good except for the fact that the cuttlefish had spent just a little too long on the bain-marie such that they had lost that bounce to the bite.  It would have been a very nice dish if it had just come out of the kitchen.  4/5

Conclusion

I would really like to hear from the old regulars of Rendezvous about what they thought of the food these days.  I have only eaten there after a very long interval so I am not sure if my memories serve me well.  What do you all think of the dishes today?  Have they tweaked it to be less spicy or are they just as good as when they were still in the old place?

LET SEX OUT OF THE BAG

In case you are not up to speed, we here is Singapore have one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Of course this is a phenomenon that many other developed countries are also experiencing today, but not as serious as what we are facing here.

So to counter this trend, the government introduced a Baby Bonus scheme years ago, hoping that it would help encourage couples to have more children by giving out money - the amount of which depends on the number of children a couple has.

With the high cost of having children in Singapore a constant obstacle, that is merely the tip of the iceberg. With all the so-called experts they have sought advice from, it's really odd that money it seems is touted as the main solution. Only now they have determined that it's not working. This coming from the same government who claims it has the best minds on board!

Here are the problems. Firstly, couples are way to exhausted to have sex, let alone think about it, thanks to the high cost of living as adults. No kids are in the equation yet and many of us are already grappling to find time to chill, let alone time to have sex. Bills and more bills to deal with can be a damper to one's libido.

Secondly, sex remains a taboo in our society. It has tried to break out many times but failed miserably. As a result, problems in the bedroom are rarely spoken about. Forget the problems, even sex as an act is hardly spoken openly about.

The blame here, I feel, falls to some extent on the government which has - via very conservative censorship authorities - sterilised many people's mindsets on sex. Imagine, it was only recently that they began allowing Cosmopolitan to be sold here! Articles like 'How to seduce your man', '20 ways to better sex', 'Foreplay towards better sex', 'Get Oral Before Anything Else' were deemed too raunchy for our local audience. Now, they bring it back thinking that it had no effect to the sexual attitudes of its citizens. Again, the same top-minds figured this out!

It's not just Cosmo ( I am using it as an example), but the whole realm of sex that has been sterilised. Just ask any top sex doctors here (OBGYs and Urologists mostly) and they will tell you there is just not enough time to list the common sexual problems that plague many couples.

Believe it or not, in my many conversations, I have been shocked that adult men and women, many of them highly educated, do not even know how to please their partners or even have sex. You know, the penetrative type where you get each other aroused and thereafter get the man to slip his penis into his partner's vagina? Sterile enough for you?

It's just about the act of procreation and not about the lead up to it which if made enjoyable, will get them to want to have more of it. With enjoyment of the act, comes the natural progression of intimacy, love, bond formation and eventually, the a greater likelihood of them consumating their relationship with the creation of a baby.

Sex should be spoken about, and watched even. Adult magazines can be educational too. Porn, I dare say, especially the conventional run-of-the mill sort, does have its merit when it comes to providing tips to learn from and apply.Take seduction and steamy sex talk (foreplay too) for instance. Is someone suppose to say 'Dear, I think it's time to slip your penis into my vagina'. Don't laugh because this is commonly what several doctors have told me about how sex talk between many couples takes place, and that is if there is any talking at all.

Contrast to 'Baby, are you gonna fuck me with that hard dick or watch my hot juices go to waste!'

Sex is just so boring here and money for having babies is not going to change that mindset anytime soon. One really has the impression that all in government don't seem to have a sexual identity. It is just serious men and women who rather not touch on the subject of sex. Stop talking ahead of yourselves.  Before babies can be had, sex has to be enjoyed!

Why would anyone want to bring a baby in the world when the level of intimacy between parents is far from desirable. It's all very technical here. You try a few times, it doesn't bear fruit, you go for IVF!

If they are really sincere about it, they have to loosen up, chill a little more and accept that sex is a natural human instinct! It is not dirty, taboo or bad if both parties are consenting. It's time to stop blaming things on a conservative society because it's a legacy from poor social planning and dour family planning strategies where sex is never in focus at all! It's time to teach couple about how to enjoy sex and equip them with all the skills and energy to make their bedroom antics pay off.

Case in point, I once asked a person working in the local censorship why a certain sex education website for couples was banned and her reply almost had me fall off my chair. "It has the man from behind position!' WTF? Doesn't she know that a woman can still get knocked up that way, but of course enjoy it a lot more??

WHO'S GOT BIG BALLS?

I am prepared to present this trophy for the guy with the biggest balls! LOL! Just received this from Helen Tooley, from the UK, who sent this in. I actually came across this guys sometime back. If you have been following my blog you would remember this fella who had apple balls! Seriously.

Back then however, it was freakish. However, when I met him years later, I was more curious to find if there was any relation between nut size and load stored within. I now know there is no link but if researchers had included him in their study, he would have proven their theory wrong because he had a load that was messy to say the least.

I understood later why he insisted and pushed for me to give him a blowjob in the nearby park bench and not inside his dad's car. But he sure as hell had me drenched!

But in all truth, the size of a guys nuts has no co-relation whatsoever with how big a load he has because the mechanics of the male organs just don't work that way i.e. testicles do not produce semen.

OUT WITH IT!

It's been a while since I've posted your confessions so here is one which I had in keeps for quite sometime. It's from a guy Howlrby11, from Brisbane. Let's call him Howard for the sake of this post.

Howard is a 28-year old designer for a box-design company. He has been with his girlfriend since they left college and have plans to wed sometime in 2013. Here is his confession.

"My girlfriend has great genes because her whole family are really head-turners. She has two sisters on either side of her as well as a younger brother. This has been eating at me for several years. I think it was in 2007 when we were supposed to spend a weekend at a friend's home by the beach. There was a big group of us, including my girlfriend, her elder sister and her friend, and nine other mutual friends of ours who all grew up in the same neighbourhood.

On the second night, my girlfriend had a bad migrane and wanted to be left alone. So she asked if I could instead stay outside in the living area with some of my other friends. It was perfectly alright with me as they were my buddies and I was sure we had a lot of junk talk to catch up with.

I promised that I would check back with her every now and then and she was okay with that. It was around 1am when I checked on her and discovered she was fast asleep. I returned to my buddies outside and we were having some beers and chatting when my girlfriend's sister came out to fetch  some ice. I thought they - she was with a girlfriend in another room. She looked kinda wasted since they had some liquor with them.

She surprised me when she said she needed to speak to me about something urgent. I was concerned and followed her back to her room. I thought it has something to do with my girlfriend's condition which was, in all honesty, pretty bad.

With her friends apparently asleep on the bed, she got me a drink and didn't waste time slipping out of her blouse to 'get comfortable' - as she put it. They were amazing tits. Being a little high, I sucked on them. She seemed to show no regard that I was her sister's boyfriend as she grabbed on to my hard dick and slipped it out of my beach shorts. She led me to the bed and just as I slipped out of my clothes, her friend came out from under the blanket, fully awake and fully naked!

She fed her friend my dick as I played with her now naked body. Well, it was a threesome I will never forget, firstly because it was my first, and secondly because I never fucked so hard in all my life. It was the best time I had - in a sex sense.

However, now, years later, the guilt is eating at me. She never mentioned it to my girlfriend and I suppose she thinks nothing about it. None of my friends too know about it.  When I came across your site when I was googling about other people with big secrets, I thought it would be great to share it with someone. And you were right, it has made me feel a lot better although I still have to think about whether or not I should tell her. "

MS: Wow! You are in some serious shit and I don't envy you. But you are the best person to answer that question because you know more about your girlfriend's personality that anyone else does. If she is reasonable and open-minded, she will accept that everyone makes mistakes. Although if you do decide to tell her, I would advise not saying how good you felt or how memorable the experience was. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

GENDER REMOTES

Thanks Donna for this picture. It perfectly sets the distinction between what males and females hope for if a partner-control remote was ever invented. It's a little small so you might have to strain a little. By the way, Happy Leap Day!
