Talk side by side
If you're broaching a potentially sticky subject (stuff like your wanting to get married, or his partying too much), avoid a face-to-face conversation. "Although it seems counterintuitive, insisting on eye contact while hashing out an issue can actually make the problem worse," says Scott Haltzman, M. D., co-author of The Secrets of Happily Married Women. Looking him directly in the eye can make him feel threatened—and when confronted, men instinctively kick into survival mode, triggering a fight-or-flight response. To put him at ease, talk to your boyfriend while you're doing something side by side—walking, driving, eating dinner together on the sofa.
Cut to the chase
According to a study recently published in the journal NeuroImage, the male brain interprets men's voices as speech and women's voices as music. That's why he can easily focus when one of his buddies drones on about some lame computer game, yet has to work overtime to concentrate on your bitch-of-a boss tale. To ensure that he hangs on your every word, make your point as quickly as possible. "Men want to get to the bare bones of the matter," Haltzman says. "So grab his attention by using direct statements such as 'Here's why I'm upset' or 'The bottom line is this.'"
Let him know you need to vent
When you're telling your guy about your backstabbing best friend and he looks confused, it's not because you're not explaining yourself clearly or he's slow on the uptake. Biological differences make men innate problem solvers; the furrowed brow indicates that his mind is scrambling to find a solution. "When a woman presents a man with a dilemma, he interprets this as a request to fix her problem, not to simply listen," Haltzman says. Clue him in by letting him know what you need before you make your point. Try prefacing your story with "I just really need to get this off my chest." By telling him what you expect up front, he'll know what to do and be able to give you what you really want: his ear.
Stroke his ego
If it seems like every time you ask him for a favor your words go in one ear and out the other, you may need to butter him up more. Men are brimming with testosterone, which makes them competitive, and compliments help them feel important and superior. Let's say he never hangs out with your friends. Feed his ego by saying something like "You're so funny! Actually, my friends could use some cheering up. Can you come out with us tonight?" The positive reinforcement will challenge him to rise to the occasion, and the vote of confidence will make him feel needed.
Well, this is quite an honest point of view on stuffs from a guy's perspective, to women who think we're complex, WE ARE THAT COMPLEX, so, do some home work yea . =)
We we're not rich yet, so we took the ferry instead of a private jet. Its quite a relaxing 45min ride less the cramp on the shoulder due to an unexplained weight acting on it.
Food was aplenty on the little island and because its cheap, everything taste good ! I mean seriously, the food is really good.
What can go wrong with A & W's root beer float eh! We're craving for it so much that we had to get a mug the moment we arrive at Batam centre.
One of the greater perks for me at batam is that I felt so much richer when i got my hands to the rupiahs. Ay, look at these, glorious monetary digits .Ah, and did i mention that shopping at batam meant scoring lots of cheap brand inspired products too?
The hospitality of the people of Batam was up most pleasing . Our taxi driver in this case, waited for us every time we alighted at our destination. His friendly gesture really beat alot of service personnel in Singapore hands down . 
How ever, it kind of brings the paranoia part of me out when strangers start doing such nice things to me. =s
Its also so easy to own one now because the kayaks are all compact and all so you wouldn't have to rent a space at the marina to park it there. There are like 
For a minimal price of just around 
When ever i'm down , bored or just plain itching to fish, you are always there for me...
We shared many joyous moments together in the wilderness, as close to nature as it could be.
I still remember the first time i saw you, felt your tenderness, I knew you're the one....
I'm sorry I pushed you to your limits..I should have known...
I won't forget you my friend...Rest in pieces buddy...
