Will You Marry Me?

mass email for the wedding game (thai media 3) Swiped from thaicinema . Unlike KH, I'm not one for romantic comedies. I don't quite have the patience for 'em unless they're entertaining like "War of the Roses" or "Romancing the Stone". But I'm not quite sure those movies fit in with the rest of the cookie cutter romantic comedies. Since it was CNY, and since I was bored, I decided to take up my sister's offer of watching "The Wedding Game" at MV. As expected, it was mediocre, but it was surprisingly a male flesh fest, specifically of Christopher Lee. If you're a fan, you get to him in various states of undress: in the shower, topless in jeans, in briefs, in swim trunks, in boxer briefs, being slathered with suntan lotion... the list goes on. I feel that the scenes require him to take off his clothes TOO often. Not that his tanned torso isn't a welcome sight ( though the fine lines and crows feet were very obvious ),

On the 28th of January, I celebrated 2 years of togetherness with KH. It was on this day that he asked me the simple question: Do you want to be my boyfriend? And after my simple nod, he took my first kiss. And we've been on an LDR since that fateful day. And for that reason, our 2 years is unlike the 2 years of other couples. Due to the physical divide, we enjoy less intimacy ( however, whatever chance at intimacy we get is explosive and cherishesd ), we perhaps do not understand each others' daily habits as well ( but we have become very adept at reading each others' mood over the phone ) and we do not get to spend much time together ( which makes us still lovey-dovey when we meet ). But special circumstances aside, gay relationships are usually given a 2-year expiry date. Gulp! Though I worry, I just keep working at it, and I am confident that things are still rosy. Our level of trust has deepened and we have delved into parts of our lives that we usually like to keep se

Indirect Communication

Are you familiar with DiGi's Fu-Yoh package? It's mascot is a thumb with slitty eyes and a red cloth tied across its forehead . My thumb looks like that at times. The left thumb has gotten so used to the T9 keystrokes that I can compose a message without me having to look at the screen much. Yes, I SMS extensively. Since getting my new phone in October 2008, I have sent 2249 text messages. The recipients that make up this total is mostly KH, Jaded Jeremy, Joe and SK. To keep things economical, I SMS to KH's DiGi number that is roaming in Singapore. And recently, KH got me a Singapore line to roam in Malaysia and even Jeremy opened a DiGi line to roam in Singapore. I have added all of them into my Friends and Family list, hence each SMS only costs MYR0.01. And since KH has 500 free local SMSes a month, it would practically cost him nothing to SMS me. The only drawback is that we both have to carry around 2 phones ( my left ball's fried! ) and we always receive a message

A correction to my last post-- I did spend time with Derek about a week before VDAY. We went to KL Tower and shared a Moo ice cream with him. I still have the stick. Hehe. At night, we had dinner at Heaven Fusion with SK and Apollo. The flowers were for our first Anni, but I did make him a card. The error is regretted. Hehe. I'm such a bad boyfriend. Sorry, dear... -- Regards, William

Vday is fast approaching and I still don't quite know what I'll do. It will be another Vday apart from the boyfriend. There are several BFF gatherings lined up and they seem pretty novel. Last year, I ordered flowers for KH with JJ's help. I don't think I'll repeat that. Perhaps I will not contribute to the commercialisation of love through inaction. Perhaps I'll make everyday a little bit more like Vday. But what's for sure is, my president's birthday is on Vday (so special) and I will mark the occasion somehow. Ingat ya? -- Regards, William

A Scholar in General

Gay fiction in the Chinese language is completely alien to me due to the fact of my banana background. Even those in English are limited to short erotic stories the web that make Mills and Boon look like kiddy lit. So far I've only read a Singaporean novel by Johann S. Lee that was brought to my attention by Chester. Back to my point- in Chinese, one can expect stories set in ancient China, and that is a premise that holds much fascination for me. Wu Xia and historic epics are made even more attractive with elements of gayness. Joe, my president reads one such novel. He tells me that it's about a scholar who saves a general who lost a battle and nurses him back to health. It goes without saying that they fall in love in the progress and the general subsequently takes charge once he's back in the pink of health. And so, after I putar-belit for so long, what do you see yourself as if you're cast in the movie adaptation of the novel- the scholar? Or the general?

Tung Ka Em Ta, Ta Sai Ka

In my current project, the client has a project manager who oversees everything. Let's call her Madam Mu. She is helped by an assistant manager, Ong, who is actually more like a personal assistant in reality. Madam Mu is like a domineering mother and it is obvious that Ong is kinda like the meek son. Well, it all seemed "rosy" until we heard the shocking (or perhaps not-so-shocking news) that he was resigning not long after receiving his bonus. There was a big hu-hah in the office. Many managers and even one of the top management had "The Talk" with him. They openly badgered him to pull back his resignation. They told him the place that he is going to sucked. He was obviously pressured. When all else failed, talk of money was rife. 20% increment. Blah-blah-blah. 10,000 of any stock you want. Blah-blah-blah. I'll sue them if they sue you for pulling out after signing the offer letter. Blah-blah-blah. He was resolute. Like a rock. I admire him for that. Now, h
