Ok, so not real snobs with bad attitudes, but writers who also have discerning tastes. It seems that either they can write, and have no knowledge (or desire to acquire knowledge) in the 'finer' things in life, e.g. spas, dining, or possess comprehensive knowledge but can't write (or at least won't even try for the wages we offer).

Yes, I'm well aware of the glaring contradiction - a 'luxury' lifestyle requires funds, i.e. higher pay, and that not all of us have banker fiances, but taste does not denote wealth. Indeed, wealth is convenient under such circumstances, but where would the challenge or fun be when you have all the money in the world? 'Sides, there are plenty of luxuries that don't require re-mortgaging one's family estate in Versailles. Taste is about how you use your hard-earned cash. It's about where you choose to melt your plastic, not what your credit limit is.

世上最勁嘅護膚品，可以令人膚色紅潤，青春十倍，反老還童，美態盡顯。但係有錢都買唔到。它叫「愛情」。

Let me start by saying that perfection as a concept of flawlessness is overrated. Without flaws, life is boring. And let's face it, there's enough shit going on in our lives - we need boredom like a cow needs a Porsche.

On the relationship front, females are often categorised as the following:
- clingy
- princess
- girly (but pleasantly so)
- one of the guys
- neurotic
- aloof

I'm a big believer of balance. So for me the "perfect" partner would have a mix of these qualities. Proportions of each must be managed (obviously you don't want to be too heavy in the princess or neurotic fronts), and as social dynamics change, the mix will have to be tuned accordingly. Constantly being in touch with yourself and "tuning" is thus quite important to maintain harmony, though it can be tiresome.

But is being jovial and harmonious all the time so important? Is it, again, overrated? Isn't it said that people learn most about each other when they argue?
