What Real Women Expect from Men

I'm not sure about this but It's kinda..
Well, depends on each individual actually~ Enjoy!

Esquire asked 36 American women at five definitive ages what they wanted out of a guy their age. Here's what they believed, in their own words.

At 18:
He should be compassionate, at least. There have to be some teenage boys with compassion!
He should be good with the parents.
He should have a goal.
He should know how to whittle wood.
We don't expect very much, to be honest.

At 27:
He should be reliable.
He shouldn't rely on text messaging as a tool of courtship.
He should have a "way" about him.
He should have traveled the world.
He should know how to cook one thing really well.
He should have a political affiliation.
He should, every now and then, substitute a light beer with Scotch on the rocks.
He should behave as if his mother raised him correctly — even if she didn't.

At 35:
He should not have a belly.
He should have decided on a sexual preference.
He should possess the thoughtfulness required to help a mom with a stroller and two kids up the stairs.
He should not have mommy issues.
He should have moved on from pickup lines to conversation starters.
He should want the party to end at some point.

At 44:
He should be a real partner.
He should still be eager to learn.
He should be able to sing along to all the songs on Boston's first album.
He should be financially secure.
He should understand the importance of jewelry in a woman's life.
He should take out the garbage without being asked.
He should be sexy.
He should be a gentleman.

At 53:
He should work out.
He should smell like something: aftershave or cologne.

He should know politics.
He should be faithful.
He should like Bob Dylan.
He should dance.
He should not be addicted to his work.
He should admit his mistakes.

Late afternoon Cock and Bull

 Do you still remember my previous post about dining in Cock and Bull at Jesselton Point Kota Kinabalu?

Well, we went back there again late afternoon.
I know, I know it’s too much! I think the waiters are afraid of us. Haha!
This time, we ordered slightly different stuffs. So, here it is!

Orders:
Stela - Tuna Sandwich (RM13)
Jenette - Club Sandwich (RM18)
Me - Mango Cheese Cake (RM8)

Mango cheese cake is really really good! The cheese is smooth and the mango is thick! As for the sandwiches, I think it's better to eat it when its still hot. Cock and Bull use better quality bread which is the wholemeal bread for the sandwiches. So, it is healthy! Tuna Sandwich (4.5stars) and Club Sandwich (4.0stars). Don't know why I love Tuna than the Club Sandwich. Maybe because of the mayo right? But it's really worth for the Club Sandwich because really lots of meat!

and here is it. Enjoy!

Cock and Bull

This morning I have test which I think I did not do well because I didn’t study well last night due to some reasons. Well, after the test (I only have one class today, yay!) I went to the management office for a while to disturb a while. Then Jenette suggested Cock and Bull for lunch and we did! Peggy joins us for a while before her class.

It’s my first time to step into Cock and Bull, Waterfront, Jesselton Point.

So, when I get in there, I thought if will be dark and gloomy but its BRIGHT! Table settings are fine for me but it’s a little bit hot in there. Maybe because of the weather so can be excuse. From the inside of the building, you can see Jesselton Point. There are many taxis around that area, so it’s quite convenient for everybody who wants to go there. Specially, you can walk from Suria Sabah if you want to! Well, I love most of the paints that are hanging on the walls which makes me feels like home. There are paintings of angels which I love the most and the canvas painting right behind of me.

This is us! :)

So long story cut short. This is what we ordered!
Orders:
Peggy – Mushroom Soup (RM8) Fish and Chips (RM15)
Jenette – Grilled Chicken Breast (RM21)
Me – Tomato Soup (RM8) Lamb Chop (RM19)

Ready? Let’s go!

Mushroom soup is good which I will give rating of (3.5stars). Well, maybe because I love Gunter’s Mushroom soup. It depends on individual taste actually. For me, I don’t like it to be too creamy like Upperstar. I love mushroom soup which there is a strong smell of mushrooms. Erm.. haha! 
Well, Tomato Soup (2.5stars). First sip into my mouth it was so salty! As all of us give a try, we think that they are totally using the Prego sauce without adding water. But I love that they do have lots of tomatoes in the soup and the flakes that they used.

Peggy’s Fish and Chips (4.5stars) really nice that they really use less flour unlike other restaurant such as Fish & Co. This dish is not oily at all which I really really love it. The meat is quite thick as well haha. Salad dressings are just nice! Chips, just normal.
Now comes Jenette’s Grilled Chicken Breast (4.5stars). When I tried on her dish and it feels Malaysian. I mean, it’s authentic. Maybe because of the bell peppers, I don’t know. Decorated nicely and looks mouth watering. Underneath the chicken breast, there are mash potatoes and beside of it there are mushrooms. I love the meat!
Here it comes! My dish, Lamb Chop (4.5stars) it is! Too bad there are no choices of Mint Sauce and others. It just came with black pepper sauce, so I minus two marks here haha. The lamb is quite soft and easy to chew. You will not find many fats because it’s mostly meat!

I will be back,
Cock and Bull
