Mulligan’s Irish Pub & Yello Jello Retro Bar

Last night Winnie and I met up for some finger food & drinks at Clarke Quay. We decided upon Mulligan's Irish Pub which proved to be an excellent choice! It was not overly crowded, the food and service was good, and we were seated next to the stage where a guy was tuning out beautiful (if somewhat sad for two newly single ladies) love ballads, nevertheless, the singer sang exceptionally well.

Since it was halloweeeen weekend....

After Mulligans, we strolled to Yello Jello Retro Bar,

it was our first time there. The place was packed, loud and had a

60s Retro feel to it, hence the name.

25 Going On 26

A month from today I'll be turning 26 years old. Kinda scary really. I'll no longer be *mid 20s* but in fact closer to *30* and became evident recently when I noticed the start of wrinkles around my eyes and popping eye bags (so not what a girl wants!) So anyhow, to make myself feel better, I've selected a few pretty things I would like for my birthday..

Part Time Daydreamer In Action

I just love little french cafes, but too bad I have not had the chance to visit Paris as yet. However, a girl can dream a little dream right, and if you feel like getting outta reality for a while, come join me as I create my *ideal* soon-to-be 26th birthday....

It was a crisp Sunday morning in Paris, and I had hoped to have a little treat since it is after all my birthday,

so I head to my fave little french cafe 'Cafe de Flore'

Wow the cakes are to die for...

I cannot decide...

Well, I had my cup of Earl Grey Tea and finally decided on a slice of Vanilla Sponge Cake wtih Strawberries on top, it was time to head home.

My lovely day bed.

I'm feeling oh-so-sleepy so I head to my bedroom for a quick nap....

But this white bedroom is lovely too....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

Right, Kitty's come to wake me up.

Hello Kitty

It's time for my bath And a gal's gotta look pretty for her hot date with Edward!

My oh my Edward has arrived!

And looking mighty dashing too if I can say so myself!

I musn't let Edward wait too long...

Don't you just love my new Carol Malony balconnette bra?

Shall I wear this slinky LBD for my date?

I think it's a perfect birthday dress too, don't you think?

My Ted Baker clutch

Ooohhhh such a romantic place for dinner

Edward sure knows what a girl likes

I'll have a frozen lime margarita please

And of course some fresh oysters to share

Pea & ham soup

One of my favourite country soups

A rockett and asparagus salad to share with semi-dried tomatoes and drizzled with a light dressing of truffle oil

For my main course, I can't decide so Edward says

lets order two and we can share...

Grilled salmon

I know I know what you're thinking.

I can't possibly be on a date with Edward and eat black quid ink pasta....

But it is my birthday and I just love squid ink pasta.

For dessert, we share a slice of chocolate cake and it's utterly divine.

The rich, smooth chocolate melts in your mouth as you savor each bite.

Well, I think I'll order another drink.

Waiter, I'll have a strawberry margarita this time round please.

Oh-so-romantic.

A perfect kiss to end the night.

As we dance the night away, can you believe the ever so talented Sarah McLachlan is playing 'Angel' right by us as we drift slowly in tune with the melody...

Now back to reality folks...

Males versus Females on Sexual Aggression

As I'm drafting up my last sociology essay on gender differences, I got to thinking about sexual aggression between the sexes after some careful recent observation. It appears that times are changing fast on the social circuit as individuals are out like never before being more 'daring' and 'aggressive'. Does our societal norms exert pressure on individuals to behave in certain socially acceptable and appropriate ways?

What is deemed acceptable and appropriate anyway?

Alcohol seems to be playing an active role in socialising I see people downing down their drinks, girls and guys alike, as alcohol is deemed as a 'wonder drug' on boosting their confidence maybe...or just wanting to have that 'high' feeling

A crowded club, a crowded disco, a crowded dancefloor where you bump sweat with everyone else as you succumb to the alcohol magic flowing through your veins. Teenagers and young adults out having fun, seducing each other or just having a wild time but nonetheless, when sexual attraction is encountered, which sex is the more aggressive one? Research has always found men to be the dominant one, but as I have recently observed and discovered, it seems that young women these days are more sexually aggressive then men themselves.

To my dismay, I've also observed guys downing down drinks and seconds later pukes...

I've observed girls barely into their 20s high on alcohol, falling over guys, and also being sexually aggressive in their behaviour, more so than the men they are attracting.

What happened to a glass of wine over dinner, a romantic stroll under the moonlight and some gentle flirting? Are young individuals able to alter their attitude to more 'romantic' encounters or is aggressive flirting the norm of society these days on attracting a mate?

Men versus Women

Which sex is more aggressive?
