Would anyone be that stupid?

Someone forward this email to me which I thought it would be interesting to share..

A young and pretty lady posted this on a popular forum:

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'mvery pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500kannual salary or above. You might say that I'mgreedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class inNew York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who hasan income of $500k annual salary? Are you allmarried? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seemsthat this is my upper limit. If someone is going tomove into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:

1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out?

(Please list down thenames and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)

2) Which age group should I target?

3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking?

I'vemet a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they areable to marry rich guys

4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only beyour girlfriend?

(my target now is to get married)

Ms. Pretty

Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy:

Dear Ms. Pretty, I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyzey our situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hopeeveryone believes that I'm not wasting time here.From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marryyou. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside,what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money":

Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair andsquare. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, butmy money will not be gone without any good reason.The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't beprettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am anappreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years laterBy the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, datingwith you is also a "trading position". If the trade value dropped we willsell it and it is not a good idea to keep it forlong term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruelto say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with greatdepreciation value will be sold or "leased". Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues tomarry a rich guy. And by the way, you could makeyourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me signed, J.P. Morgan

Stepping into W12 tom!

Hooray!!!!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 12: (Taken from Webby)


Even though your little Einstein’s body is still growing quite rapidly 2 inches long right now, the overall super-speedy growth of their amazing brain continues to leave the head proportionately larger than the body— and is actually slightly more than one third of their total body mass! The head and neck are still straightening at this point as can be seen by their little chin lifting off of the chest. Your baby is also actively rehearsing “breathing” by using amniotic fluid to prepare the lungs for future air respiration.


The big news:

your little pooper is now officially going to need diapers! Although a majority of the waste produced is transferred to the mother’s system for discharge (to avoid having it linger in the amniotic sac), some urine is released to the amniotic fluid and your baby will actually breathe it in before it passing it on to your for discharge. Not to worry, urine--in this particular form, is completely harmless to your baby.


And how's mom doing?

Logically, as your baby is growing bigger, so must your uterus. By now, your once-flat and relatively small uterus is stretched to the size of a softball (12-14 cm), but that’s nothing: by the time you deliver it will have grown to 15 – 17 inches (37 – 42 cm). Your uterus is slowly increasing at a Your uterus is slowly increasing at a rate of approximately one centimeter per week rate of approximately one centimeter per week. If you've got a burning sensation that extends from your breastbone to your throat, you've got heart burn or acid indigestion.


To lessen this unpleasant experience: eat smaller meals and avoid fried, spicy, and fatty foods. Otherwise, there's always TUMS, but check with your healthcare provider first.


As your pregnancy becomes more physically visible, you’ll have to adjust to people asking you when you’re due and giving lots of unsolicited advice from women who’ve “been there.” Additionally, this is probably the right time to share your pregnancy news (if you haven’t already) with close family and friends and anyone you want to have involved in your pregnancy. Allowing your friends and family to have role in your pregnancy encourages participation and support for the future—when you’re really going to need it!

fruitful weekend

Managed to cook some black herbal chicken soup for myself. wow.... it just taste so so nice, esp when it was topped up with some DOM.... hehhehe I didnt know home cook herbal soup can taster better... maybe because I cook this myself. hmm cant really say I cooked it... cuz it was so simple. add herbal stuff into slow cooker pot, add black chicken and water... set temperature to auto.. and tata it is ready to be served after sereval hours of slow cooking... add in some DOM.. and all done!

Had an enjoyable time with Janine. She was well-behaved in church too. Maybe the stage of snatching toys from others had passed now she willingly share them. Went to Sakae Sushi at T2... had a great meal there ate a lot but the bill was relatively small less than $50 despite wy order a few rounds of sashimi and I ordered sun maki, rainbow maki, chawamushi, beef udon.. and many more... maybe because they have changed their price for premium red plate from $6.50 per plate to $4.99 per plate ahahhahaha good news for wy...

wy played with Janine during our walk to the car at the airport... resulting her to have nightmares, and hence sleepless night for the both of us (haiz...) anyway we woke up on sunday, didn't even had breakfast and went back to sleep... Janine played with her toys while the 2 of us took turn to steal a nap in her bedroom... after a while the 3 of us were sound asleep till.... hmm 2pm I guess... woke up once again for bunch. wanna go jurong point cuz I wanted to get some groceries from ntuc but the carpark is full... so wy suggested we go IMM... It had been so so long since we last visited IMM... and if I didn't remember it wrongly this was Janine's 1st trip to IMM. Wow it was huge especially after the renovation... it seems endless shopping there. 1st 3hr of free parking, I thought who will ever stay there for more than 3hrs hahhaha I was wrong. There are a lot more shops, eatery, kitchen stuff and not forgetting Daisy the almost 1.99 shop.

We spent a solid 2hrs there most of the time walking around rather than eating. We couldn't decide what to eat, too many choice so we end up at MAC hahaha... it's a small outlet and it's warm so we had our meal chop chop... and my dear Janine ate too fast till she bit her own tongue. She cried like no tomorrow pple sourrounding us might thought we ill-treat her man... both wy and myself couldn't figure out why she cried until I saw the bleeding tongue when she open her mouth wide screaming for help... gave her some cold drink to stop the bleeding... all thanks to the apple juice, the bleeding stop and the cooling juice ease her discomfort. phew* we got a shock. It's funny though bitting her own tongue, something she would be more careful with next time she enjoys her meal.

Went to courts and bought PIL a new set of sofa. The current one was old and torn. Thought we should bless them a new one though with our budget constraint wy wanted something comfy. There was a few nice sets, price ranges from 599 to 999. The 999 was nice and comfy but they are left with the display set so wy didn't like it. Saw a 599 set which Janine love it.. She kept crawling up and sits on it but they are only left with red colour.... walking around and trying other sets like musical chair... finally saw this set at 699 3+2 seater comfy and most importantly all colours are available. Thank God else I think it might be a wasted trip. Black colour seems a bit too dark and normal... so we chose dark chocolate...

Called MIL to confirm she hasn't place any order for a new sofa set before we approach the sales person.. paid and arranged for delivery (additional 150) They will delivery in 2 weeks time... yipee got new sofa to sit on in another 2 weeks time....

I think the herbal chicken really worked I forgot to drink the chicken of essence today but I am still feeling good, not as easily exhasted like other monday. But LS in the morning.. hehhee baby and mummy doing well. Next appointment with Dr Adrain is this saturday... will see baby again.. Baby Jadon must be strong, daddy mummy and Janine jie jie shall see you again on sat...

*Feeling Happy today*
