Guys with ladies' bags are sissies
Men just don't look good carrying cutesy bags. It's a fashion faux pas: macho man in a polo tee, with a handbag.
So what if my eyes are small? They're mine
On Saturday night, I got into an argument with a French guy. He told me that I had eyes like a manga cartoon because I squint when I smile.
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
The truth hurts and that's the reason we tell little white lies to those we really care about.
Nice doesn't get you anywhere
But being bad may not be an option either unless you want to be the woman everyone hates.
Never argue with a woman about pregnancy
Pregnant women expect their men to share the burden but they should also be appreciative.
5 pairs more than enough
Coming from a family with four guys, I cannot fathom someone having 20 or 30 pairs of shoes. For a long time, none of the men in our house had more than two pairs of shoes.
20 pairs still not enough
I have at least 20 pairs that cost me anything from $15 to $150 and have lost count of those that I've junked.
There goes my child-proof life
Everybody loves babies, people keep telling me. What's wrong with you, a colleague asked plaintively. Weren't you a kid once?
In praise of beauty
Beauty takes many forms. A landscape can be beautiful. So can a symphony or a poem. Some people find beauty in ballet or football. Others discover it in scientific equations or games of chess.
'I always try to find the funny side of things'
It's a laugh, or two or three, a minute with Sarah Sechan. Now 33 and a mother of one, she has not lost the self-deprecating, dry wit that she brought to her stint as an MTV Asia VJ when the music channel was starting up in the late 1990s.
