End of 1st Half 2007

Whew....the last 2 weeks has been crazy.....or maybe lazy...didn't have the time to update the blog. Looking back not sure why I didn't log in any thoughts....again maybe I was lazy.

But I finally sat down today back in my hometown....Melaka....Having tea in starbuck in Mahkota Parade. Reflecting how 6 months just passed by again....Wah lau...What have I accomplished? Have I met what I thought I had set out early this early or I did not even planned for anything!

Yeah....maybe I did not plan...just like what happened over the last 2 weekends....splurged on a new PDA phone..HTC Touch....I highly recommend this PDA...its sleek and nice....Next...almost splurged on a new Canon SLR Digital Camera....but held back...hmm,....gettting a little out of hand on the shopping! Malaysia Mega Sales you are such a devil!

Let me see what should I do for the next 6 months.......ah...err...should I do this? or that? ....get this ...or buy that....hmmmm.....what the hell....just follow the flow....and revisit this again on 3oth Dec 2007 ...

How was your 1st half?

Fathers' Day

Fathers' Day ...this is the day where fathers all over the world being honoured. For myself , I have never celebrated it before.

My parents divorced when I was 3 or 4...can't remember. Anyway my mom left my father and brought me along and my 2 other brothers. Ever since that, my father just dissappeared. Never to appear again in my life until I was 16.....just a chance to meet him once to get his signatory for the issuance of my passport....even though my mom tried so hard not to get him involved....but immigration insisted that just as long my father was alive....he needs to sign! Oi....Jabatan Immigresen....wake up! There are many cases where single mothers faced the same situation and sometimes can't locate the fathers.....Anyway....that was history and hopefully things has changed for the better now with the Immigration.

About 15 years ago, my father decided to go back to Hainan Island...back to his kampung...yeah right... I am your pure chinaman!...Left no contacts whatsoever....Last year, I got news from my distant relatives that he had passed away about 4 years ago. Again a pure case of MIA ended death.

So did I miss out anything on father and sons relationship? I don't know...cos I don't know how...Watching my BF's relationship with his father makes me wonder have I missed out anything....Or because of the missing connection ...I am gay today!.....( hey there were scientific behaviour research saying absent father will make the son gay.....hahaha!)

I have never been really bothered about not having a father....but of late with the heavy commercialism of celebrating Fathers Days.....you get smacked in your face with all sweet lovey dovey must do for fathers days...and that bothers me a little.

But hey I do celebrate Mothers' Day because she all I have.... ; )

Starbucks in the City

Do you have a favourite Starbuck hang out?

I do. Used to be 2 places .....One in Great Eastern Mall and the other one Menara Standard Chartered Building ( which has since closed down....pity)

What makes these 2 places special? The crews! They are just outstanding in their services and know you by the name.

In Great Eastern Mall....the crew are just great and the bubbly Siti ( you are such a baby and there never once I saw you frown) .....the beary looking Sekar ( this guy is very obliging , don't be deceived by his built and look)....Moha the ex-supervisor ( he is your customer care manager and put your needs in front of him)

Furthermore, Great Eastern Mall is a great place...relax and casual and not crowded ...you know like the one in Mid Valley... so like pasar malam sometimes.

Tell me your favourite Starbucks....

Metrosexual or Gay?

Hmm.... the other night my BF and I went to this cafe for dinner. The owner was celebrating his birthday and had prepared steamboat. He asked us to join in but we politely declined and both of us ordered our usual dinner.

This owner goes to the same gym and has a well built muscular body ....and that night he was wearing a tight singlet.....With him was a group of guys in with great body, cute faces and tight clothes.....so first impression.....must be GAY!.... Wrong! and with them were a group of slutty looking girls ( opps I may have exaggarated that a bit)....so they are your macho guys.

This so called grey area homo sapiens are called Metrosexuals.They are your self proclaimed straights who are not afraid to show their femininity instincts.

Hello....why are we being introduced with new breeds/terminology and confused the gays community for taking metrosexual as straights not homosexual..So far we have been living in a world where it is already clear.....straight male (North) ....straight female ( South ).....gay ( East) and lesbians ( West ).....

Unless we would like to add metrosexual as (North East ) , transsexual ( South East ) ......Bisexual ( North West) ....and i missed South West .....anyone care to name that?

( BTW, these pictures were taken on top of Taipeh 101)

Kiasu or Kiasi?

Capture this picture in the gym locker.....So is it Kiasu or Kiasi?

Well can't blame of being kiasi as there were spates of break in gym locker and I was one of the victims. Having security man in the locker didn't help at all ....in fact there was one time I caught the security guard dozing off!

I would rather be kiasi for this instance.









Talking about kiasu....was in Singapore last week for a conference. It was the usual stuff of meetings and meetings.....didn't even have the time to shop.....it was Singapore Grand Sale!

My boss brought the team to Equinox.....on the 70th Floor of Swissotel ( which I was staying) for a dinner. The choices were limited actually...maybe they have limited space in the kitchen on the 70th Floor!!!....The serving was kinda small and the taste was not that great.....but who cares .....boss taking the bill!! Next day, we had a event at St James Power Station.....The food serve was like canteen food....seriously...didn't bother to take much....ended ordering room service later in the hotel room.

But Singapore has more variety now in terms of gourmet and cuisines.....but the taste needs improvement..... maybe Singaporean are kiasi not to have too much MSG or salt in its food

Still Malaysia food boleh!...Thats kiasu to you.
