Noooo I'd want a pre-nup to keep our rep seperate!

then I guess it'd only be a fling

Works for me

In Malaysia, there is far more stuff to bitch about for eg:
1. Work life balance is non existent, working OT without pay is expected.
2. If you don't take your leaves when you are required to, you don't get pay off. The annual leaves just go to waste.
3. Salary here sucks, it's much better being a corrupted "any professional" here.
4. Traffic jams are rampant here, it's takes forever to get from one area to another.
5. Cars are super expensive because we gotta let the local car manufacturers survive to god knows when.
6. People are rude, most of the time, they give you a weird look.
7. Your relatives expects you to give free consultations and lent them money without any guarantee.
8. Education cost a bomb, even if you were to study locally.
9. Crime is everywhere, barricading roads and hiring many security guards in residential areas are a norm now. We might as well start building a fort.
Shit, this country sucks royal.

Hehe, that makes Singapore look like a paradise.

Will be moving by 2011 or 2012 latest.
Yeah, thought about Singapore. However, I rather go back to Australia.
In addition, it's like a statutory requirement to drive like an asshole in Malaysia. Switch lanes without signaling, making illegal u-turns, bribing officers and etc.

What! Don't go to Australia. That's going from the frying pan into the other frying pan! But if it's home to you, I guess there's nothing like home..even if it sucks. ;)
Good to hear you're leaving anyway. All the best to you sir.

Err, no. What is important in regards to women is, not being attached to the outcome. Because, being attached to the outcome can show implicitly in your behavior, which is a turn off to women. That being because, women are attracted to men who seem to already have a lot of sexual options. So a guy generally needs to convey an image of someone who already lives in abundance.
It however does not mean to simply be passive and to expect girls to make passes at you. Girls almost never approach because first, any girl gets hit on all the time and has many options. And second, it's the guys' task to be the initiator and to be agressive. Generally though, a girl if she likes you, will express it through subtle indicators of interest, which you need to pick up on.
If you don't do anything, you'll stay single. Guys simply cannot get away with this because girls are far, far pickier. Guys need to act when a girl seems to express signs of interest, and to be as assertive as possible in general.

As for myself, my rant is that, well, I'm about to graduate from university in four months, and I don't know how I'm going to sell myself to prospective employers. I'm going into a field where employment prospects are pretty good, but my problem is that I'm 28, and for health reasons, I haven't really held a job up to now.
Sure I had legimitate reasons, but at any rate it's awkward and a tough sell. A 28 years-old man who has no job to show in his resume is going to immediately raise eyebrows. If when questioned I talk about the illness, then I think the employer is just going to think of myself as a liability who could become ill again at any time, even though I've recovered successfully.
I tried to applied for some volunteering in the last 1-2 years, but even they were very picky, asking to see my resume, and told me how odd it was that I hadn't worked for all this time. It seems to just put me in a very awkward situation any way you put it, with hardly any way to save the face and appear normal. I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't invent some past jobs I had. Perhaps I could take like 2 of them and say I was hired in shops in my hometown that don't exist anymore then they'd have no way to check whether or not I'm BS'ing.
Also, when I work, I'm going to work freelance for a while. I wanted a desk job, but it looks like it's going to take a while to get one here. Full time jobs in that field would exist in Montreal but I don't know if I'm ready to move out there, and give up on everything I built here over the last few years.
I wanted a desk job because I wanted a job where I'd interact with other people. Now instead I'm going to work from my apartment. In the summer for the college breaks I had to spend a lot of time in my apartment and it drove me nuts. I tried over and over and over again to find social outlets in my city, but I found basically no place where young people could go and socialize together in some sort of activity. I have some friends, sure, but I can't see them all the time. I really hate having an introverted lifestyle and being forced to spend all day in my apartment with barely anywhere to go to would really drive me insane.

I dunno why people believe this women vs. men stuff. It's maniacal. Individualism. Freedom.

That is the last thing you want to do. If there is any way for them to find out, you could be in big troubles.

:) Man I didn't know you were in Iraq lol...
Edit... Nm... Opsec lol

I'm 34 and in much the same boat only from depression rather than illness. The only advice I can really give which has helped me get to the interview stage is to get references from your lecturers (assuming theres 1 or 2 that you get on with, hell, ask them for a job marking assignments for classes you aced, its what I got recently) and find a way of making your resume and applications distinctive enough to be remembered. I seem to be getting some success with adding a few humorous bits here and there.
In your case I'd try and spin the recovery from illness into a positive thing, shows determination or something. That way it explains the lack of work and hopefully conveys willingness to overcome obstacles.

Absolutely.
You will graduate in 4 months you said, so don't stress out too much about that yet.
And by the way, you have mentioned freelance work... are you doing translations work ? If yes I would suggest you to contact public institutions such as hospitals, schools etc. They might need your skills. That is what I did here in the United States. Just go and fill up as many forms as you can, that will show determination as well (you will need a lot of determination for freelance work).

If you don't mind starving occasionally, that's also a plus.
