By Maureen Koh The New Paper Tuesday, Feb 07, 2012 She is the other woman. No regrets, she said in an interview with The New Paper on Sunday in 2006. Well, none until she was unceremoniously dumped in 2010 after spending half her youth being a married man's mistress. Regret showed through her make-up during the hour-long interview with Ms Melissa Phua. She sums up the life she led since she was 24: "I am cash rich, but the money can't buy me love." And there is a permanent scar left on the 40-year-old stunner, who looks barely 30. Just as she now desperately wants to hide her tainted life, her long hair covers a 5cm-long scar on the right cheek. Without betraying any emotion, Ms Phua recalls: "The stupid wife came to our love nest, went ballistic and started smashing stuff. In the midst of trying to beat me up, she clawed my face." The love nest was a posh condominium apartment in District 9 which the man owned. After that attack, Ms Phua used it as an excuse to "threaten" the man, who is 29 years older, into calling it quits. Says the former model: "I saw it as a chance to escape. He had grown tired of me and the frequent sex had slowed down from five times a week to only once in a fortnight." Two years on, Ms Phua now lives in a terrace house she owns in District 10. She has investments in two other private properties. She zips around town in a Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet. When the high roller is not at the local casinos, she's at home watching Korean dramas. Her ex-lover, whom she met in December 1996 when she was modelling for a lingerie company at his company's function, "provided well" during their time together, she adds. He used to sit on the board of directors of a multi-national company, but she is unsure of what he is doing now. Ms Phua's "last-drawn monthly allowance" was $10,000 - that was on top of the platinum credit card "with no limit" she was given and a luxury sports car. And when she felt like travelling, she could just go wherever she fancied - on first class - and stay at the best hotels in the world. A significant change in her lifestyle now is that she no longer splurges on the latest designer brands. That, she claims, was merely a move to stash money away following her mother's advice on her death bed. Says Ms Phua: "My mother was very upset when she found out that I was kept, but she gradually accepted it. "The best advice she gave me was just before she died (in 2001) to make plans for my future in case he dumps me." According to the "relationship agreement" drawn up in 1997, - Ms Phua still keeps a copy - she will lose everything, except the car and whatever cash savings she has, if he suspects her of being unfaithful. She adds: "That's why I'd charge to my credit (card) things that my friends wanted and give them a 10 per cent discount in return for cash payment." Ms Phua also invested in gold jewellery and kept it away from him. She confesses that she has kept a string of other lovers, but would call it off whenever she felt that her ex-lover was getting suspicious. Since her new life began, Ms Phua has gone through three other relationships, but none lasted beyond 10 months. She explains: "Somehow, there's still a stigma. I could easily try to keep (the affair) a secret, but I prefer to lay my cards on the table." Unfortunately, the truth hurts. Ms Phua says: "Two of them broke up with me shortly after I revealed the truth. It didn't matter that this was history even before we met." The third boyfriend "struggled for several weeks before coming to terms with it". Until she dropped another bombshell: she can never have a baby. A clause in her arrangement with her ex-lover stated that she cannot get pregnant. This prompted Ms Phua to go for a ligation procedure after she moved into their love nest, three months after they met. She says: "It hurts me whenever I see my friends with their children, when they talk about their kids with such pride." Like a self-prophecy, Ms Phua repeats her words from her first interview in 2006: "I will be a lonely woman. "Because by then (now), it'd also be too late for me to find someone who'd love me."

I realised that my thread and post have vanished overnight after a visit from the moderator and I do realise that the earlier thread comes across as being too personal towards sabbie. I am hardly surprised why sabbie goes scot free with his degrading remarks towards women and constant profanities, this is afterall, a male dominated forum. Moderators, I'm sure you're doing a great job keeping this community alive. My apologies for stepping across the guidelines *that, i'm guessing because nobody sent me any notification whatsoever regarding the mysterious evaporation of my thread* However, I do hope that in your constant crusade to weed out undesirable activities within the forum, would you be able to be mindful towards comments, remarks, threads and posts which degrades womenfolk in general? Think about how a female protagonist will feel if a male antagonist goes about insulting women, much to the amusement of fellow male deuteragonists and the tritagonists, who camp by the sidelines further advocating these atrocities? This female could jolly well be your granny, spouse, daughter or any women who holds pivotal places within the depths of your hearts. To the rest of the forum users, please accept my apologies if my earlier thread caused any offence or distress. To sabbie, I'm not sorry to say i'm totally unapologetic on my take towards you. What comes around goes around. Please learn to respect yourself and to respect women. Like i've shared before, society, being codified by man, decrees that woman is inferior; she can do away with this inferiority only by neutralising the male's superiority. Good day to all of you !

Am still searching for that calling... the one thing that matters most in life. You get up each day looking forward to engross yourself in that particular life pursuit. Like the saying goes... Do what you love each day and you'll never have to work a single day.

U nia bo?? [bigcry] Women are better at parking than men: Study Women are better than men when it comes to parking, a recent survey found, reversing the existing idea that men have better spatial awareness. The report by a car parking operator in the United Kingdom studied the parking habits of 450 drivers through CCTV footage and surveyed 2,000 more to find that women drivers received 13.5 out of 20 for 'parking coefficiency,' compared with 12.3 for their male counterparts. The study looked into technique, accuracy and time taken to park. The study revealed that women drivers are also better at finding parking spaces than men. Perhaps women drivers deserve more credit than they are used to getting,' said Mr Neil Beeson, a professional driving instructor who devised the experiment.

A car is just a 'thing' which moves us from A to B. Some do it faster than others. That's about all in the begining. Then car designers/makers start to create attractive shapes, more power, brandname/image etc and attach all these to the car and as a result some pple spend millions just to buy one, occasionally use it to go from A to B, but most of the time to admire it or make others admire it and themselves. Other than the size of the car which makes it so visible and therefore 'represents' very clearly the owner's wealth, status, and taste etc, what other aspects make a car so important in a man's life to become his lover? Some cars achieve the opposite due to its look and/or reputation (or the lack of both) so much so that pple claim they wont be seen alive driving them. How much of your income / time go into your ride?...... most likely after your flat/house, this is your 2nd most expensive possession (not counting your wife/gf). In fact, quite many MCFers join the forum because of their love for cars. To test your love for cars, which model/car you are trhing to own, after which you will take a long time to look for / change to another one again? meaning your dream car which will satisfy your love for car and stop you from looking for another one

Government policies to draw foreign talent into Singapore likely helped widen the income gap in Singapore, a study by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) found. "Rising tide of foreign workers almost certainly impacted wage growth at parts of the income distribution and thereby worsened inequality," said Manu Bhaskaran, adjunct senior research fellow at IPS who chaired a panel on "Economics: Business as usual, no longer?" for IPS
