Movie Review: Oblivion

Movie title: Oblivion

Ratings: 1/5

Comments: Too slow, too draggy, boring, not thrilling, lousy ending. I nearly died during the first 1hour+. That's about it. During the show, many people walk in and out, including me(once of course only, to the ladies). Tom Cruise's movies has always been a must-watch for me, just like Jackie Chan. However, ever since the drop in standard as in "Jack Reacher" and now this, I'm quite sure next time I will think twice about watching his movies. As for those rating it a 4 out of 5 at gv.com.sg, hmm.....I seriously dont know what they are thinking.

Philips Air Fryer Recipe: Clams and mushroom cheese baked rice!! Super yummy!!! =P

I was simply hunting for ingredients to cook in all my cupboards and fridge, and finally I realized I can make this!

I have to share this recipe as well as posting it here so that I'll remember how to cook it again in future. It tastessssss SO GOOD!! I'm not kidding you! Initially Jy cooked this(she used chicken instead of clams though) and shared on her FB so I asked her for the recipe when it looks so good. And after sharing with me, she also said this one thing, "This is super nice and super easy! After you tried this, you wont even order this in restaurant anymore."

I simply thought, wow, okie it must be good. But I didnt expect it's thattttt good! I think it's even better than Swensen's! Okie, enough of the ramblings. I did alter many things from Jy's recipe because I only have canned clams and canned mushrooms at home. HAHAHA! Thank god I have Campbell's soup and some cheese slices though!

                                                                                                                                                                               

 

Ingredients: (Serves 1, male's portion)

Uncooked rice, 3/4 cup

Narcissus brand, Canned mushrooms, sliced, half a can 

New Moon brand, Canned razor clams(贵妃鲍贝), half a can

Campbell's 1/4 canned soup paste, chicken & mushroom flavour

McCormicks, ground black pepper

White pepper

Light Soy Sauce

Chesdale, herb & garlic cheese(comes in packet of slices)(2 slices)

Method:

1) Cook 3/4 cup rice in rice cooker(I'm using Philips), adding slightly more water than needed to cook it normally. Place it in a bowl once it's cooked immediately, which should be a little moist.

2) Marinate clams with 1 teaspoon of light soya sauce and lots of white pepper

3) Boil Campbell's soup(around 3 heaped tbspoons of paste) to a thick consistency. It comes up to around 70% cup of soup

4) Sliced the mushrooms and retaining some of it's mushroom water, stir-fry them with light soya sauce and black pepper. Put aside

5) Get a aluminium foil bowl(I make one from aluminium foil) that can fit into the Philips Airfryer. Pour 1/3 of the soup at the base

6) Add the rice, which should be slightly damp. Placed mushrooms on it evenly, followed by the raw clams. Pour the rest of the soup all over it. Dash some black pepper over

7) Place 2 pieces of cheese to cover the whole dish. Dash some black pepper.

8) Airfry it with Philips Airfryer at 160degrees for 9-10minutes. Not any longer. And serveeeeee~

This dish is extremely healthy as no oil/butter and salt is used throughout(altered from Jy's recipe). Well, maybe just the cheese. =D

The clams tasted great, just the right degree of chewiness and the rice is just full of flavour without being too salty and not too dry or hard. I hate hard rice. 

Love love love this!~!~ Do try out!

Alternatives and Notes:

- If you wish to replace clams with others, feel free to. Just take note for ingredients that need a longer time to get cook, for e.g, chicken, you'll need to semi-cook them before you airfry the whole dish. On the other hand, seafood which needs less time to be cooked, you can cook it in the same way as the clams.

-  The flavour of soup and type of cheese can be altered to your preference too. 

- If you need to reduce the quantity of rice because you're on a carbo diet, you can reduce to...say 1/4 cup. But if you reduce the quantity of rice, you'll need to reduce the quantity of other ingredients too as well as the quantity of soup(else the baked rice will be too "wet"). 

This is the original Chicken and Mushroom cheese baked rice recipe Jy had: You can try too!

Ingredients
(Serves 4-6)

- 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice, rinsed and drained
- Water to cook rice
- 5 garlic cloves
- 200g (white or brown) button mushrooms, sliced
- 200g chicken fillet, cubed
- 15g butter
- a few tablespoons uncooked Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (I use mild red cheddar)
- Salt & Pepper
- Parsley (garnishing)
Directions

1. In a heated wok or saucepan, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cut chicken pieces, stir-fry for a few minutes until the surface of the chicken pieces is white.
2. Add the washed uncooked rice, salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well. Transfer contents of wok/pan to a rice cooker. Add the garlic cloves. Add water to cook rice (I use slightly more than 1 1/2 cups of water – adjust the water amount according to your cooker).
3. When the rice is cooked, portion out the rice into individual oven-safe baking dishes (or use a 20cm x 20 cm square alumnium tray) until about half the height of the dish. ( I use oven safe bowl that can fit in airfryer)
4. Spread some mushroom soup sauce ( Campbell brand) on top of the rice, and topped with a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
5. Airfry it at 180degrees for 10minutes. Garnish with parsley.

Wow hers sure looked more complicated. Lol. I seldom have fresh ingredients in my fridge because I cant be sure when I have the time to cook so I dont buy and store in my freezer; for fear of them getting not fresh. So mine are usually canned food. =( But I'm still very glad that my dishes turned out nice. Of course I still love cooking fresh food too like chicken, pork and especially fish. But I think I can only cook them when I have half a day free. 

Aglio Olio with black pepper smoked duck

Aglio Olio with black pepper smoked duck

Yesterday I cooked this and I was so surprised it turned out so tasty and declious despite I lack of much fresh ingredients. I thought, it tastes quite as good as what was served outside in restaurants, and interestingly, dearie remarked out loud the same thought which I didnt say out.



These are the staple ingredients! All available from NTUC.

As I said, I lack of fresh ingredients like garlic which is essential in making aglio olio.

Awwww.......but thankfully I found replacements in my fridge; as per the above picture. Hee.

Ingredients:

Duck Chef, ready-cooked black pepper smoked duck breast

Masterfoods, garlic powder

McCormick, pure ground black pepper

JJW, fried garlic with oil

Spaghetti

Salt

Chillipadi(1 piece for portions of 2)

Method:

1) Boil the spaghetti(2 person share) in water for 15minutes with some salt and little olive oil(if you like al dente style then cook it for 10-12minutes)

2) Remove the spaghetti from the boiling water and run it under the tap(cold water), sieve the water away and put it aside

3) Remove the ready-cooked black pepper smoked duck from it's packet(after leaving it outside for around 10mins after taking out from the freezer) and seared it on pan for few minutes on both sides, flipping it time to time.

4) Sauce/juice will ooze out from the duck. Remove the duck and place it aside to cool

5) (No need oil) Use the sauce to cook the pasta, stir-frying it together with 1 tbspoon of fried garlic(without the oil), some salt, black pepper, 1 tbspoon garlic powder and the little chillipadi(halved, removed the seeds with gloves) for few minutes.

6) Slice the smoked duck. If it's still hot, use tongs to hold it. It might be cold in the middle(as we seared it when it's frozen). Place the sliced smoked duck onto aluminium foil and airfry in Philips Airfryer at 200degrees for 3-4 minutes(If you dont have Philips Airfryer, just microwave it for 1min or so)

7) Serve pasta on plate, arranged sliced duck on pasta. Both served hot.

The above recipe is mild spicy, serves 2.

FAQ

1) Why sear the smoked duck when it's frozen, because cooking will definitely be uneven(cold in the middle)

Because I defrosted the duck before searing it before(for my smoked duck salad with mandarin oranges) and it yields almost no sauce/juice. I need the sauce to cook the pasta.

2) Can I sear the frozen duck for more than a few minutes so that the inside will be hot as well?

But if this way, the outer of the duck will definitely be overcooked and will be tough. So it's better to sear it on the outside(just to get it's juice) and then later airfry/microwave it when it's sliced, to get a better texture overall. Also to warm it up to serve it together with the pasta, as it would be chilled while we cook the pasta.

Alternatives:

Fresh garlic, sliced(maybe half a cup or lesser) can be used in place of the fried garlic and garlic powder. The latter 2 is good to store in your fridge as they will not go bad so fast like fresh garlic.

Oh yes, I've gotten my Philips air fryer! Have cooked using it and it was AWESOME. Will post recipes/pictures/review soon!





My favorite teeth whitening products

Firstly...I would like to say I DONT have startlingly white teeth which captures everyone's attention; like you know some people have teeth SO white that the moment you look at them, your gaze will be locked to their extremely white teeth. I saw 1 lady with amazing white teeth before which I cant help but stare. They're so white that they looked kinda artificial. You'll know she must have done laser whitening or some clinical procedures before. Frankly speaking, while the teeth are extremely nice, let's just say her complexion doesnt really quite match up to it. I then realize, when your teeth are wayyyyy too outstanding and amazingly white, it can make your complexion look less good because of the big contrast. But of course, if you have great skin then go ahead and whiten your teeth by laser or other aggressive clinical procedures! You'll look like a superstar!!

That's how I feel. Of course, you're entitled to your own views.

I dont have amazing white teeth, dont have amazing skin. I just thought they're...matching, in a way and well....acceptable to me. But I have friends asking me what I use to whiten my teeth or what is my favorite whitening toothpaste etc time to time again. My way is more economical and less aggressive as it takes longer time. Most of my girlfriends are far too rich and eager for results, haha, so most of them did whitening at dental clinics. I heard it can range from S$500-$800 or even more. It's actually pretty cheap to do in JB, so I heard..maybe S$300 or lesser. But then, I never fancy myself siting in a dentist's chair(my horror!!) and I dont like going for clinical procedures; it's just me. I still prefer to get whiter teeth in a "light-duty" way. I dont wish to get much whiter teeth overnight and have people coming to ask me what I've done.

Some background info FYI
I dont smoke.
I dont drink coffee. Tea, sometimes.
I brush my teeth once everyday after I wake up
Ever since I graduated from primary school(yes primary...eons ago...compulsory dental checks)....I've never let another dentist see my teeth.

Kinda gross huh~ Lol.

So the product which I use to whiten my teeth is the Crest Whitestrips.

The above comes with 20 strips at US$49.90. 

I kinda remember I used to buy 40 strips(another box, not available anymore) at about US$70.

Hmmm.........inflation.....maybe. I usually buy 2-3 boxes at 1 go to save on shipping.

It's not available in Singapore. You can get from U.S or order online from drugstore.com. Alternatively, join livejournal sprees to cut down on shipping. Maybe you'll feel they're not very cheap but I truly swear by them IF you use it the correct way. They're much cheaper than other clinical whitening methods. And I truly feel the results are comparable to clinical whitening methods, to which some of my friends had tried. Just that it takes a longer time.

Initially I wish to show some before-and-after-pics to convince of the effectiveness of my favorite products. But because every picture of me alone taken at different locations under different lightings etc, might be an inaccurate conclusion. So I wanted to post pictures where I was with my bunch of friends, which should be the best way to show how does the shade of my teeth fare. In some instances, I even thought of the perfect way by proving the effectiveness of the products, for e.g, by showing a group picture few years apart. Like, for e.g, once upon a time, my teeth was less white than Miss A but after I've used my favorite products, my teeth are whiter than Miss A.

But...after thinking for a sec, I think if I put up group pictures and shamelessly show that my teeth is whiter, it is pretty anal, insensitive and rude! Girls are pretty sensitive and my girl friends will definitely hate me! Lol....so...well...no pictures! But no pictures also not convincing huh~ Alright, maybe just 1. Guys are not that sensitive. :P I seldom take pictures with a bunch of guys...this might be the 1 and only pic. Sorry no choice.

This was taken last Aug, 2012

Normal toothpaste but on monthly maintenance of Crest Whitestrips.

Simply stick the strips to both your upper and lower set of teeth, wait for 30minutes, peel off and rinse your mouth. Sounds easy? Not that easy actually. A friend bought it after I told her this is what I use. She only use once and twice and then gave up. Why?

First experience
You might feel uncomfortable because you're not used to it. Crest WhiteStrips has changed from an older version. The older version works better actually; whitens even better, but in a way, more potent. The strips also shift more easily on the teeth because of it's gel surface. As time advances, saliva will accumulate and you feel you have a mess in your mouth, which can be quite unbearable to some people, for e.g, my friend. Now that it's the newer version. It sticks pretty well, doesnt shift easily. Less potent, more acceptable to people with sensitive teeth.

Tips#
1) Use it when your mouth is dry or as dry as you can have them(not after having drinks or brushing your teeth)

Saliva will starts to accumulate in your mouth as time advances and these saliva will create discomfort in your mouth and may cause the strips to shift. SO,

2) Keep your tongue close to the BACK of your lower set of teeth. Let your tongue stays there. They will "guard" any saliva which comes to the front of your mouth and get "mixed" with your strips.

3) Swallow any saliva which accumulates in your mouth. Since they dont get "mixed" with the strips(which contains whitening ingredients), it's safe to swallow.

4) Consistency is the key for every beauty regime.
For the first 2 weeks, do it intensively once everyday for 30minutes. If you dont have sensitive teeth like me, sometimes I put up to 35mins for each treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, put for shorter time like 20minutes instead of 30.  However, remove immediately if you feel any "stinging" feeling.

5) You can continue to do it intensively everyday until you get your desired results. But of course stop if you feel your teeth starts getting sensitive. After you achieved your desired results, then reduce to maybe once per week, once per month etc.

6) Avoid food/drinks which might stain teeth if you're on treatment. Like red wine, coffee etc.


I achieved a whiter set of teeth in a span of maybe 3 to 5months. Dont quite remember. Because I did not use it everyday. I started using once everyday for like 2weeks...and then reduce to once every 3days, so on and so forth. Subsequently, I've realized I can no longer whiten my teeth further(no significant results anymore)...and I'm also satisfied with it....so eventually I use it as maintence like maybe once a month or just before any special events, like weddings etc.

Taken in Jul 2011....,my hair was short then. Was on fortnightly maintenance of Crest White Strips

Like I say, different lightings. Difficult to judge accuracy. But I'm fairer than this shade actually.

But I myself feel the results are pretty lasting, if you care to believe me.

IMPT NOTES:

Please note that these strips have EXPIRY DATE. FYI, I dont brush BEFORE or AFTER the treatment because I tried once and my teeth bled. Somehow I had the sensitive stinging feeling too IF I brush my teeth before or after the treatment. But whilst I was using it and even after using it, my teeth did not get more sensitive. Which is something positive, as my friend told me after her laser whitening, her teeth got so sensitive even with iced water. And, Crest Whitestrips actually works better on neat sets of teeth because you need to stick the strips onto your teeth and naturally, a neater set of teeth can ensure better adherance, and hence higher efficiency. I dont have perfect teeth(never did braces before)....but I guess so long so your teeth is not mostly, overly crooked, then it's fine.

Actually I've stopped using it for quite a long time(more than half a year)...I just forgot about using it or simply lazy to order it online. But I guess my teeth are ok because I dont smoke or drink coffee etc. In fact, I tend to stick to white wine thereafter. I seldom drink red wine nowadays unless at weddings.


So in place of Crest White Strips, I've been trying out many whitening toothpastes. You need to brush your teeth everyday anyway, no matter you want to whiten them or not. I wish to get an effective one which is easy available in Singapore. But disappointingly, so far none gave significant results. Until I tried this.........

Sensodyne Whitening, Repair and Protect

This is a new product I think and I just started using it like months ago. I feel it whitens pretty well(though of course not as significant as Crest White Strips). I say, you can see a difference after just 1 tube. What's more, it's good for sensitive teeth because the toothpaste turns warm when gets in contact with your teeth! How amazing!! The bad side is it probably costs 3times more than a regular toothpaste(my favorite darlie, orginal). It costs around S$8.50 for a small tube and sharing it with dearie probably cant lasts us more than.....3 weeks? Even though we only brush once everyday. Dont know, it seems to finish up so much faster than our regular toothpaste. =( The best promo I've seen is S$5 per tube and I always grab up to a dozen at 1 go. =P

Most recent pic(true to real life) after using Sensodyne Whitening, Repair and Protect for just few weeks.

I've tried other brands which are as expensive as S$20+ per tube(that's the max I'm willing to go. But bigger tube though) and I still feel Sensodyne is better. =)

Please DONT try this. Waste of money. Does not whiten at all.







Feel free to share your favorite whitening toothpastes/products(if any)!! =)
Thanks for reading............

Movie Review: Saving General Yang

Movie title: Saving General Yang

Ratings: 4.3/5

Comments: A very much anticipated flick so I admit I have high expectations. Not a boring moment in the show although I would love to see more strategies and war deployment skills in a supposedly-war kinda show. Nevertheless, the fighting scenes were still engaging and I think almost all the cast acted very well in the show; depicting filial piety values which the modern world should appreciate more.

The story of uncles and aunties who clear your plates in food courts

Ever wondered what's the story of every auntie/uncle who clears your leftovers in the food center? http://keizng.com/confessions-of-a-food-court-cleaner/

Auntie Ah Zhu (Let's call her Auntie AZ) came to my table at Food Republic, Vivocity , repeatedly wanting to clear my plates I was still working on. By the 3rd time she came over, I realised it was because she wanted to wrap up her work (11pm at that time). She then noticed Josie fiddling with her notepad (kakao notepad giveaway from at an earlier event #startupasia), and remarked, "that's a beautiful notebook" (in mandarin). I then asked if she wanted one too, and offered mine. She gleefully accepted it like a proud owner, telling us the notepad would be useful for her to take down any new telephone numbers. I teased playfully, "Auntie, you sure it isn't for 4D or lottery numbers?"

Auntie AZ surprised us all with her reply, "I am going blind in a year due to diabetes, and I needed a big notepad with my failing eyesight". Obviously confused, I asked why she was working out late and doing such heavy chores, instead of resting at home and taking care of her body. Auntie AZ then explained that none of her 3 working and married children are supporting her financially (the occasional $100 bucks every now and then could barely help), and she wanted to save enough so she would be able to care for herself when she would be blind. Her husband is simply too lazy and aloof to depend on, while she felt that she wasn't a good enough mum when her kids were younger to justify caring for her. (e.g. not paying for their school fees during their polytechnic days, and not being attentive)

DAFUQ? Exactly what came up in my mind instantly! I reminded Auntie AZ she had endured 9 months (making it a total of almost 30 months) of harboring them in the belly, and not forgetting 3 painful deliveries. No matter how nasty a mum she had been, her kids can never escape she giving birth to them. Her guilt as a not-fantastic-mum was at best silly and naive; Mums are the most amazing people in the world. They can wipe the entire angry bird series and unlock level 100+ in candy crush, other than cooking the most delicious cuisines money can't buy. The only guilt she should feel is her love for sugar, which she giggled in a child-like manner, "i just can't avoid sweet things!". I can't imagine for a single moment how not 1, but all 3 kids can heartlessly ignore a diabetic mum patient who also endured extremely long hours at work putting them through their younger lives. Semi-luckily for Auntie AZ, one of her daughter-in-law was ensuring her husband connects to her occasionally.

Her pay of $1,300 monthly for working 6 days/week and 12 hours daily, after deducting CPF contributions, is hardly enough to sustain her treatments and living expenses. She also lamented that her legs were hurting from pushing the trolley and dragging the pail full of plates. In a slip of tongue, she revealed her suicidal tendencies, but kept positive at the thoughts/sights of her beloved grandkids. Under her breath, Auntie AZ murmured, "they are really cute..." (now I know why my candycrusher mum kept hurrying me for kids and not being so concerned about who the partner is).

But what is truly disappointing, as concluded by my friends Nicole Lim, Josie Lai,Abhinav Vinay Chandran, Azmie Øregano who were with me, is the fact Auntie AZ is not alone. There are many similar, if not more unfortunate, old folks who are fighting to survive each day, collecting cans/papers and cleaning tables, with irresponsible, negligent children who have selfishly decided to cut off ties. I have met this 60+ year old eldery with swollen legs who collects newspapers/ cardboxes along Keong Saik road. She was looking for leftover food in the bins when I was leaving for home. Someone beat me to offering to buy her dinner - I then tried to help carry her load (which is easily 10kg) and walk her home, but she was very egoistic and refused my help - she was happy to just have a chat, and I supposed that's all I could do.

I am typing this at 5am on a Sat morning so I will not forget any details (even after 2 drinks), and not waste a single second moment I got home. I would like to appeal for any advice on government support Auntie AZ can seek, and if anyone can help her. I have her home contact number which I will gladly give you if you PM me, all I asked of is to be tactful when you speak to her. Let her know you are referred to by "Wen Bo or 文博", (my chinese name) whom she met in the food court on Friday night with a bunch of friends, so she knows the context.

If you are pretty helpless like the keyboard warrior me who isn't familiar with the government support, you could start clearing your own plates and dishes, and make the lives of Auntie AZ and her colleagues much easier in future. The very least you can do is not to mess things up your table too. If you have any friends who have such selfish mentalities like her kids, educate them.

And hey, don't forget to thank our cleaner heroes, and maybe engage in a conversation. Being a listening ear is effortless and goes a long way. Finally, the cliche "SHARE IF YOU CARE" applies here :)

p.s. photo from TNP. just for illustration purpose




Frankly speaking, everytime I see uncles or aunties clearing the plates at foodcourts, I always thank them politely....... I dont know....I just feel sorry for them. On the other hand, I cant help thinking why didnt they do a proper retirement planning when they're much healthier and able to earn more previously? The sadder thing is....I usually see more elderly walking around slowly with bended backs than cheerful, robust elderly doing such jobs. The more cheerful ones are mostly working in NTUC or driving a cabby, if you care to notice. Though....I do believe no one will be willing to do a more strenuous job on their failing age unless they dont have a choice.

And seriously....if Auntie AZ has insurance coverage.....she wont have to worry that much if her eyes really go blind because of her diabetic condition. FYI, in the past, coverage is accepted for diabetic patients but not anymore. Why? Because obviously the risk for complications are too high. Nobody can be sure if they can stay healthy all the way so the only way is to get yourself covered as early as you can. Responsible parents will get for their children the moment they're born as they're (usually) the healthiest at birth. For me, no kids(/yet). However, I also buy critical illness plan for my mum to transfer the risk of unforeseen circumstances, and god bless, if all are well, the monies will be for her retirement. My mum is not a spendthrift nor a gambler. Just that.....sometimes, if you don trust your parents with too much cash, like, if you're afraid they get conned especially if they trust people very easily, OR they easily give money out to less deserving people...........then this is a good way of making sure they have money if *touch wood* they ever grow sick OR eventually retired. I'm just saying..................

By the way, having a Will is also very important. It will make sure your estate is distributed according to your wishes.

As for the unfilial kids, people like this do exists. However, sometimes I feel it's the parents who have over-pampered them or did not do a good job in teaching them filial and piety values. Morally and emotionally speaking, every kid bears the responsibility of taking care of their parents when they grow old. But I prefer to think that one shouldnt depend on their kids for their retirement. If one day I have kids, I will take care of them, educate them, nurture them until they're fit to survive on their own. Of course, caring for them etc for as long as they allow me to. But, I will not depend on them nor expect them to live with me, this one old hag, unless of course they love to have me around to take care of their kids or something. Kids, will grow up, to have their own families, commitment, financial responsibilities etc.

Like they say, 靠人不如靠自己.
And I say, 靠自己不如靠保险.

If I feel or know I probably dont have enough means to support myself if *touch wood* one day I grow blind, handicapped, contracted cancer and simply lost any ability to earn, I simply make sure I have enough savings or someone is there to pay for my living expenses. Of course, my husband definitely cant run away from this responsibility. But, how can I bear to exhaust all his hard-earned monies and lifelong savings on me? When he has done absolutely nothing wrong other than staying beside me.

I know only insurance can solve all this problems. They're much more reliable than our government and our children. Think about it~

跟12星座男士談戀愛的感覺

十二星座宝宝

【 跟12星座男士談戀愛的感覺】

【白羊座】
這個星座的男人很孩子氣，其守護星是火星，因為白羊座是春季的星座，因此個性開朗、熱情，做事積極有衝勁，但缺乏深思熟慮，往往只有三分鐘熱度，通常白羊座的戀愛以一見鍾情式的居多，一旦他喜歡上一個女孩，他就會像瞄準獵物般盯住不放，非得到手才罷休。一般來說，白羊座男人的情緒皆是直接反應，因此愛做夢、較不拘小節的女性較適合此類男人，若是你喜歡上白羊座的男人，切記勿太快和他墜入情網，好和他周旋一陣子，保持一定的時間距離，好好的觀察他再決定是否接受他，這樣他才會認為這份感情得來不易而好好珍惜的，和白羊座的男人談戀愛是很過癮的，因為他會帶給你相當浪漫的感覺。




【金牛座】
此星座的守護星是金星，掌管著愛與美以及平衡。金牛座的男人很可靠，在感情上的忠實度也很夠，耐心亦高上一等。他們的健康，顧名思義，就如同金牛般體力相當好耐力一流。此種男人的個性穩定，不會亂發脾氣，但是一但發起脾氣是任誰都難以招架的。金牛座男人較適合戀家、溫柔、端莊的女性，如果他遇見的女性不是心目中的理想典型，那很可能會有七年之癢而有外遇產生。但如果你愛上了此類男人，就需要付出愛心及耐心，在放牛吃草之後，他是會回到你身邊，一輩子守著你的，畢竟金牛出軌的例子並不多。切記，對於金牛男人不要予取予求，雖然開始他能夠忍受，但是若時間一久你仍然如此，那你們之間的感情將開始產生變化。




【雙子座】
雙子座是風象星座，其守護星是水星，雙子座的男人相當重視資訊的吸收，他喜歡一切新奇的事物，對於探索未知事物的慾望相當地強。他偏愛教育、智育方面的東西，腦力激湯對他而言是相當刺激且樂此不疲的。雙子座的個性非常幽默、風趣也容易相處，屬於知性的男人，但缺點是善變容易出爾反爾心不太容易安定。因為雙子座男人具有上述的個性，所以適合他的伴侶應該是一位具有獨立思考方式，重視資訊吸收，不依賴的女性，最好是還可以和他一起腦力激湯。這個星座的男人通常害怕安定後被束縛的感覺，但是，一旦他找到心目中理想伴侶之後，他會甘於安定而不再游湯了。可能他依然能和其他異性打屁，聊天，但這並不是所謂的變心或出軌，因為他的心中已有一份責任了。如果你心儀雙子座的男人，最好以理性的態度來面對他，一哭二鬧三上吊的方法對他並不管用，那只會嚇跑他。還有盡量跟上時代的腳步，充實自己，讓他覺得你永遠都充滿了新鮮感，那麼美好的未來對你而言是指日可待了。




【巨蟹座】
巨蟹座的守護星是月亮，因此展現陰柔，溫和的一面，但心思細膩且多愁善感，可能有許多女人認為巨蟹座男人是最佳丈夫的標準人選，因為他們不亂花錢，喜歡儲蓄、顧家、愛小孩甚至會幫老婆做家事，巨蟹座原本的個性正是如此溫和而不暴躁，喜歡照顧別人，有些甚至有戀母情結的傾向。其缺點是敏感，耳根子軟，做事常常優柔寡斷不果決，一旦有心結便很難解開，愛鑽牛角尖。因此，雖然他喜歡照顧別人，但是內心卻非常渴望有人對他付出關心及照顧的，甚至比他強勢也無所謂。但是此種強勢是指做事方面能指引他，給他意見幫他拿主意作決定，而不是指個性上的強勢，所以你在感情上，對他還是溫和柔順較適宜，若你的伴侶為巨蟹座男人，記住不要吝於付出你的溫柔，讓他在感情上可以依賴你，信賴你。但若你想建議他或勸阻他，最好採取委婉的方法，單刀直入只會對他造成傷害，所以，與巨蟹座男人之間的感情，要小心的呵護。




【獅子座】
獅子座的守護星是太陽，由於如此，此星座的男人擁有銳不可當的王者風範，相當具有領導能力，不拘小節個性大而化之，有濟弱扶傾的精神。獅子座男人對待所有人都一視同仁，而且相當的熱情，但是人們往往只能看見獅子座男人和他們相處時的表面關係而已。其實，獅子座是屬於貓科動物，而貓是相當敏銳的，因此獅子座的人內心也有其纖細的一面。但是，值得注意的是或許有些人不是那麼欣賞獅子座的熱情，可是他們卻毫不察覺，而繼續以此方法侍人。另外，獅子座男人過於主觀，不易採納他人意見，若有人不順從他便會惹他不悅，因此，適合獅子座男人的女性有下列二種：第一種能和他一起打拼、強勢，有理想目標，心胸寬大，能與他並肩作戰，一起奔向夢想的女性。


第二種能溫柔待他、安撫他，當他在外衝鋒陷陣後，最渴望的避風港，能柔性規勸他的女性，這種女性能讓他知道何時該察納雅言，接受別人的意見，她是柔順而有主見的。若目前，你的另一半或你心儀的男人是獅子座，切記千萬別當著眾人的面指正他或糾正他，必須替他保留顏面及自尊心，等到二人獨處時，再委婉地規勸他。記住，對於獅子座，你給他一分，他會回報你三分的。




【處女座】
處女座的守護星是水星，因此有冷靜嚴肅且心思縝密，其基本個性保守，愛批評，有強烈的道德觀，對愛情專一。此星座的男人在精神上有潔癖不喜歡墮落的事，喜歡高雅，高尚且非常正經的事，是個典型的完美主義者，做事循規蹈矩，但是卻沒什麼生活情趣，因為他相當重視實際。


適合此星座的女人具備下列幾點特性：重視實際，感情豐富，不花言巧語，能在平凡中自得其樂，亦能和處女座男人分享平凡中的幸福，或許許多女人認為此類男人太嚴肅，生活刻板，沒什麼情趣，且常生活在自己所築的象牙塔裡而不積極去接觸外在的世界。


但是，若你能包容這些缺點，那麼這些就不足為慮了，對處女座男人而言，他心儀的女性最好是端莊，穩重，在眾人面前不會太外向，太活潑，會有適度的矜持，亦是在外要像貴婦，在廚房像主婦，在床上要像蕩婦。





【天秤座】
天秤座的守護星是金星。此星座的人天生就相當注重事物的平衡及公平，他們深信世界是美好的，而不是骯髒、醜陋的，也希望本身能被定位在一個高水平。天秤座男人個性隨和，八面玲瓏，人際關係因此非常良好，其本身相當注重優雅，他的動作行為都會努力作到最完美的境界。


在於愛情方面，他並不排斥女人主動，因為如果是他主動或多或少都會影響到他的高雅，因此他最希望在碰到所心儀的女人之後，只要經過暗示，這位女性就能立刻瞭解並且做善意的回應，對於他鍾情的女子，他相當有耐心，他會像紳士般地；慢慢引導她，讓其接受他的情意，若是你對天秤男有意，那麼記住，稍主動也無妨，而且你的言行舉止千萬別過於不拘小節，否則會嚇跑他的，天秤座的男人相當注意自己外表，若你心儀他，就講究一下裝扮吧。


另外，天秤座的人對於金錢觀念較淡薄，所以別擺出斤斤計較的態度，大方、優雅、端莊正是他欣賞的重點，其實，心思細膩的天秤座男人，是你談天的好對象呢。




【天蠍座】
天蠍座的守護星是冥王星。其實不論天蠍座的男人或女人，都具有其獨特的魅力，儘管內心火熱，但臉上往往卻掛著慣有的冷漠。天蠍座生性敏感，鑽牛角尖，一旦遭到傷害，即立刻產生強烈的報復心，但在感情上，天蠍男人對伴侶可就非常忠實。


另一方面，他們亦有很強烈的性慾，因此，性冷感的女性是絕對不適合他們的，此類的男人是性、愛不分家的，如果，你傾心於天蠍座男人，就請讓他放心，相信你對於你們之間的感情是相當忠貞的，千萬別讓他產生懷疑或是妒忌，因為他們的愛多少有點束縛性的，最重要的一點，是天蠍座對於文字相當地敏感，無心的話或是一些不好的言語往往會傷害到他們，所以，和天蠍座相處時，注意別太心直口快，否則，他們被傷害後所採取的動作，是你無法臆測的因為他們並不會把此念頭寫在臉上的，一旦瞭解天蠍男人，就可知道他們的自尊心很強，當然也是因為他們是相當有辦事能力且非常有智慧的，而且也擁有極高的愛情浪漫度，不要吝於表達你對他的崇拜，如果他擁有你全部的愛，請放心，任誰都無法把他從你身邊拉走的。




【射手座】- My darling =D
射手座的守護星是木星，射手座的男人廣結善緣，朋友眾多，真可謂四海之內皆兄弟，在他們的心目中友情和義氣可能勝過一切，因此，射手座可謂是博愛的象徵，他們生性樂觀，開朗，做事積極、進取且精力充沛，人們因此會覺得射手座非常好動，活潑。


射手座的愛情有許多都是由友情發展而成的，適合他的女性，是要有思想，有目標辦事能力強，不纏人的類型，而且要能和他一起玩，一起瘋，太會吃醋的女人是無法讓他傾心的，如果你的伴侶是此星座的男人，記住要觀察他朋友的狀況，別妄作批評，另外，別太黏他或太依賴他，一旦他覺得被束縛，是會極力掙脫的，如果你適合他，好好享受你們開朗的戀情吧。




【山羊座】
山羊座的守護星是土星，是屬於冬季的星座，此星座的男人個性沉穩、內斂做事腳踏實地，沉默寡言，但有時又會表現出語不驚人死不休的幽默。


通常他們一生中都會經歷過許多考驗及磨練，因而成長，也展現出能夠吃苦耐勞的一面。他們重視實際，亦是工作狂，能夠承受社會的壓力，對於愛情通常摩羯座的男人因為內向害羞而會採取保守觀望的態度，而且往往被動。但卻有大男人主義的傾向，所以，對待這類型的男人，最好是採取小女人政策，別對他太強勢，也別正面的否定他，即使他不說，不反駁但也會放在心上的，雖然，山羊座男人不能給予你浪漫的感覺，但是一旦他愛上你是永不變心且一輩子忠實的，想想看，平凡的幸福何嘗不是一種美呢。




【水瓶座】
水瓶座的守護星是天王星，水瓶座可謂是個既時髦又前衛的星座，喜歡作怪、趕流行，對於新潮的事物相當熱衷，但另一方面，他們聰明，腦筋動得快，具有人道精神也頗富有藝術氣息水瓶座男人很注意自己，別人的狀況，關心世界及社會的走向隨時隨地都在注意一切人、事、物的變動，希望和這世界有所交流，所以，水瓶座的人適合群居，不適合獨居、甚至隱居。


他們理想國的觀念相當重，始終相信這個世界會更美好，因此你若心儀水瓶座男人，就請一起加入他的活動和他一起努力吧，或許開始，他會對你忽遠忽近、感情若有似無，但一旦你們戀情穩定而能一起奮鬥，發展既像同儕又如愛人的感情，你們美好的未來是指日可待的，別忘了，水瓶座是十二星座中愛情最友誼化的星座。




【雙魚座】
雙魚座的守護星是海王星，此星座的人生性敏感，感情豐富，想像力及創造力皆屬一，相當重視精神生活，愛好藝術方面的事物，當然也涉獵其中，但由於想像力豐富，所以容易胡思亂想，不切實際，常常生活在自己所築的夢想王國裡，對於感情，可能雙魚座的人就不是很擅長去處理了，雙魚座的男人一向多情，他們很可能同時愛上好幾個不同類型的女人，但又不能說他們變心，而且他們對所愛的女人全都是一樣好，或許說是濫情吧，雙魚座男人的感情一旦爆發即如泉湧，而且很難收得回來，亦很難克制。


適合雙魚座男人的女性有以下二種：
第一種是和他擁有相同興趣及嗜好的女性能和他暢談藝術、美學，能和他分享戀愛的浪漫。當然，對他能夠柔順而且體諒，更能給予他有形或無形的幫助。


第二種是較強勢的類型，這種女性的個性正好和雙魚座的男人相反：有主見，做事俐落，果斷，能夠幫他整理想法、理清思緒。這樣的女性正好可以彌補雙魚座的優柔寡斷。如果目前你有雙魚座對象，千萬別吝於給他溫柔，或許他有可能會對別的女孩動情，但如果你是一心一意愛他的，就請耐心等待別太早灰心，因為，過盡千帆，他還是會回到你身邊的，但如果你是那種不在乎天長地久，只在乎曾經擁有的感性女子，那麼雙魚男性就是非常理想的情人了，和他談戀愛，你就能體會到在電影情節中才有或瓊瑤式的浪漫了。
