I shudder to think what kind of "manipulation" goes on in there...

It's great being a woman
I came across this while surfing, and I had to share...
HAPPIEST FAIRY TALE EVER!
Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl “Will you marry me?” The girl said “NO!” And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping, dancing, camping, drank whole bottles of wine, always had a clean house, never had to cook, did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued, didn’t get fat, traveled more, saved money, and had all the bed and bed-sheets to herself. She went to the theatre, never watched sports, never wore fricken lacy lingerie that went up her arse, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, and felt and looked fabulous all the time.
- THE END -
It's funny, but I shared, mostly because it seemed like a good prologue for showing-off the half-page advertisement on the Straits Times, starring me.
Like the title suggests. It's great to be a woman.

Becoming a maid
"Auctioning myself off as a maid for S$3000++ a month. Cleanliness not guaranteed. No extra services."
For some strange reason, I have a knack for steering conversation topics towards that pertaining my friends' domestic helpers...that got me thinking about the potentials of a career swtich. To maid-ing. (My boss will start to sniff at me suspiciously if he reads this)
"I overpay my maid so that she will stay. She comes once a week and has been cleaning for my family for the past 10 years."
"I think my maid earns more than you in a month"
"My maid works for half a day and I think she's paid about $3K plus from all the homes that she works for"
"I introduced my maid to all my friends and now she earns a tidy income cleaning house for all of them"
The best part of being an ad-hoc maid is that you don't pay taxes. No income tax, no GST and all the smlj taxes that the gahment throw at you.
Forget about being a public relations executive, forget about a career in teaching, even modelling isn't as lucrative as there are good months and bad months as trends fade in and out. Cleaning on the other hand, never goes out of fashion and is always in demand, consistently.
"But my cleaner works long hours/ My cleaner works very hard."
Well mister, so do I.
"The detergent and soap is bad for your hands and skin"
Well, my hands aren't very nice in the first place. I've already conceded that men with a thing for hand will not give a hoot about me, so why bother. Plus there's a thing call 'glove', that people wear when they perform domestic chores.
"It's hard labour"
It pays me to train my fat ass into a cute(r) ass, which in turn has a 50% chance of distracting my employer from the fact that I am actually terrible at cleaning.
Any takers?
Disclaimer: It's one of those crazy ideas that is conjured out of a hard day at work.

A beautiful thought
Although I've pretty much decided on my career path for the next 5 years, my passion for teaching and the holier-than-thou aspiration of inspiring kids hasn't been extinguished. Either that or I'm just masochistic to want to subject myself to such horrors.
So gathering a troop of 2 friends (1 confirmed, 1 still pending at the time this entry was posted), we've decided to seek out all voluntary and community service homes to volunteer our expertise on a part-time weekend only basis. An excursion to Fort Siloso every now and then, English and phoenetics classes, drawing lessons and Christmas parties, all sound like meaningful ways to spend weekends.
**Any organizations with vacancies for 2-3 female volunteers please let me know.
