She had wanted to write a book on MRT etiquette.

(1) Never lean your body on the pole as if you are not planning to pole dance.

(2) Never step back unnecessary and accidentally hurt someone else's toes.

(3) Never read the newspaper like you do at home. Instead, fold your newspapers so that you will not disturb your neighbour when you flip the pages.

(4) Never flip your hair in a crowded train. You are not acting in a Pantene commercial.

And that was it.

I gave her my honest opinion that 4 points were insufficient to make it a best seller. She needed at least 7 or 10. You know, like the "7 Effective Habits of Successful People" or the "10 Habits of Confident Women".

While on the phone with her, I was simultaneously surfing SDU's website and randomly checking out the guys (who *ahem* are really not my kind... I'm almost 60% sure that I want to remove my personal) and girls (Yen Lee says I should check out my competition), I was suddenly inspired.

I was reading out BIG DEAD FISH guy's profile to her. No idea why but having read it at least 3 times previously; I missed out this line that he helps his parents run their business and also manages his own internet business.

"Minyi! This guy may be rich ah! Can consider!"

"I cannot make it lah... Should recommend to you instead. Since you like to 撒网 (literally translated from Chinese as "casting your net", in this case, she is using the strategy of having a broad guy selection criteria to increase dating options) and he loves to fish, both of you are a match made in heaven!"

"Eh, I fish only to take a look. I will only pick up the fish if I like it."

"Really..."

"Once I get my fish, I will keep my net."

Remember you read it here first.
