Older Women, Younger Men.

After watching those amazing stories last night about amazing baby deliveries, I am totally inspired about life. Nothing is impossible, isn't it? Like love. Nothing is impossible when it comes to LOVE.

I have finished watching the whole series of Sex And The City and I was really touched with the endings to all the girls. I cried a lot. I cried when Charlotte and Harry finally got their adopted baby from China, I cried even more when Samantha had finally opened her heart to Smith and accepted his love. Smith was the sweetest boy! (And he's so good-looking and sexy!) He stood by Samantha through her fight against breast cancer, through chemotherapy, not forsaking her even when she had lost her hair and her sex drive. Such a darling! See? Older women can find love with younger men, much younger men even! And it doesn't happens only in the movies! Good examples? Demi Moore and her 16 years younger husband! Real life examples? OK. My cousin, who is 9 years older than her husband and they have been happily married for more than 10 years now. And I. My husband is also 9 years younger than me. We have been together for almost 4 years and have been married for 2. And these 4 years have been the happiest time of my life. :) So don't be afraid to fall in love! Even when the man is younger.

I know most people are actually quite cynical about older women and younger men relationships. Older women and younger men relationships only work when the woman happens to be a Hollywood star like Demi Moore who is so damn good-looking and rich, don't everybody think so? Even for Demi Moore, she has not been spared from the gossips columns which are still sort of "predicting" when she will break up with her young husband! After my initial struggle, I figured out that all sorts of relationships have a 50-50 chance of working out or breaking up anyway. Whether it's a older woman with a younger man or the other way round, nobody can predict what will happen in the future. A younger man may after a few years think that his older woman is too old and start cheating with younger women. But older men do cheat for the same reason that their young wives are not young enough, don't they? So when that happens, a woman in a relationship with a younger man can proudly say that she had it good while it lasted but a woman in a relationship with a older man can only feel sorry for the youthful years she had wasted on a old man. Get it?

OK. Then there are 2 more very important plus points for woman to be in a relationship with a younger man:

1) Women usually reach their sexual peaks in their 30s and men in their 20s. See how Samantha enjoyed sex with Smith? Mine has never been better! ;p

2) Women outlive men. So I figured that I will probably die around the same time as my hubby or even earlier. I won't have to be a widow!

There you go! 3 cheers for all women in relationships with younger men! Stop worrying and start enjoying life! :D

Inspiration from Sex and the City

We are into the last season of Sex and the City and both hubby and I have decided that the character we like best is Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall. I think her personality in the series is fabulous and she will really be good to have as a friend. The part I like best was when she had gone to Miranda's and gave up her long-waited salon appointment to Miranda who needed a salon visit much more than herself. And she even offered to babysit Miranda's baby! What a generous gesture! Also, Samantha was never judgemental of her friends and was always forgiving to the negative aspects of the human nature. And I especially like Samantha because she was never afraid to show off her sexuality both in her language and in her physical ways. It was very interesting and entertaining to watch her go man-hunting.

On the other hand, we both dislike the Carrie character. We think that she was such a brat. She was insecure, difficult, selfish and totally irresponsible as an adult. I hate the part where she would call her friends to complain and wail about her relationships with her boyfriends but never really showed much interests in her friends' problems. She was lucky to have 3 such good girl friends plus a good gay friend. I have to admit, I am envious of her for having this kind of friendships...

For those of you like me who also didn't know, Kim Cattrall is already in her 50s and the rest of the 3 ladies are also in their 40s! Damn! They still look so good! Especially Kim Cattrall! Is it really the effects of Botox that she had claimed to swear by in the movie really true? I am inspired!

Living in Hong Kong

I have become a fan of Sex and the City since watching the movie on Saturday. Well, not actually a real fan but I enjoyed the movie so much that I decided I wanted to watch the series from the beginning and I am wondering why I have not watched the HBO series last time. Oh well, I am now watching the series starting from season 1 and have reached the last few episodes of season 3 now. Looking forward to finishing season 3 tonight and then maybe move on to season 4. At this rate, I may be able to finish the whole series by the end of the week! Hubby has been real sweet, downloading the series for me and also watching it with me in bed. ;) He loves the sex talks among the girls...
Initially I think I don't have anything in common with any of the main female characters in personality but just enjoyed watching their fashion. A new dress for every date or every party, designer shoes, fanciful accessories and beautiful handbags...that's every women's dream, no? Now after 3 seasons, I think I can relate a little to each and every one of them afterall! That explains the tremendous popularity and success of the series clearly to me now. *Where have I been all these years?*

Last night, we watched season 3 when Typhoon Fengshen hit Hong Kong and hubby was especially excited about it. It was the 1st jackpot hit for us in 3 years and he was really hopeful to get a day off. He's disappointed now that he still has to go back to the office for the afternoon half of the day though...

Things at the warehouse are getting messy, the goods that arrived last night at the airport could not be taken out of the terminal yet and thus could not be delivered to us. And the goods that were suppose to go out to customers this morning could not be delivered. I start to think how can Hong Kong ever be a reliable logistics hub when there are natural disasters like typhoons and black rain and landslides and floods? I never have to worry about such incidents in Singapore! I am sure many other industries out there are struggling with the aftermath effects of the typhoon. Stock exchange had to be closed for half the day, I wonder how many millions are lost there. Schools are closed for the day, so what happen to the parents? Trees are blown down, many construction sites are destroyed, mud from the landslides are choking the drains...floods are inevitable. So that's what a vibrant city like Hong Kong offer you folks!
