Tsk, tsk, it’s ego.
It is an apparent misunderstanding that females are more prone to flogging dead horses.
Men do it just as well, if not better.
I shouldn't blow things out of proportion and call it matter of national pride. Maybe I'll put it down to the man's ego, it's ego, just ego. There's nothing wrong with ego really, it's what defines a man. Applause to that. He's a man, aye, no doubts about it.
Meanwhile, because I'm female and moving on is my speciality, I'm still going to Singapore next week to eat Wantan Mee. Without the tomato sauce.
Who says you can't personalize good stuff to make it even better?
Add-on: Apparently men with big balls also have the tendency of awaking sleeping dogs in the name of humour. Medically speaking, big balls can't really be a good thing. Having them blue and engorged must really hurt.

It’s an egocentric world and we’re all our own universes.

It’s pretty funny how preferences become points of contention. I dont’ know about the charge of ‘insecurity’, but his (is it a ‘he’?) insistence smacks of a smug, condescending attitude. Best ignored, I think.

Dear Vincent:
I worked in Johor once and I tried wanton mee in tomato sauce in Pontian, Johor. I can tell you it is one of the best thing there is. It’s damn nice and for those who want to find it, travel along the road to Pontian and look for this really small shop on the right (sorry, bad description…ask around better). I didn’t even know Singapore had such noodles. But trust me, it’s really good.

Flogging dead horses is safer than flogging live ones, as they have a habit of kicking you in the head!

Oh. Never knew that Agagooga’s a guy.

Heck no…I have seen men go on and on forever about the same old things. In fact, they have couple of dead horses they like to flog to death.

all this flogging of dead horses smacks of bestiality and necrophilia. :p

Eat it in Singapore, eat it in KL, just don’t eat it in Penang.

It’s ketchup you people, what the heck is tomato sauce?
They dont call it wanton mee in Singapore, it’s mee poh or mee kia, mee poh being the broad noodle and mee kia is the thin noodle. and ketchup is added to the sauce. and even the best one my friend brought me to sucks.
