Iodine Gets in your Eyes

With the sleep still in her eyes, mum went downstairs to use some eye drops for her dry eye syndrome. In her blur-blur state, she instead grabbed a bottle of Betadine (iodine antispectic). It took her a while after the burning sensation set in that she noticed!! Aiyoh.... -- Regards, William

Certified!

FYI, KL Monorail is now ISO9001:2008 certified! One can now be assured that the frequent delays and technical glitches will be properly documented as part of their normal operations in their SOP. Yay for quality management! -- Regards, William

Where is the Nissin!?

I was at the Old Town Kopitiam-CIMB ( some screwed up partnership, banking while you sip your nanyang kopi o, stupid ) at Menara Hap Seng and I noticed that the Nissin noodles were missing from the new menu! What happened!? Call the police!

Momiji

The ball starting rolling when I bought SK a Momiji for VDay. Luca ( the Momiji's name ) was nicely packed in a colourful metal box with stickers and a button badge. She looks like Avril Lavigne with pink hair and a pair of headphones. Made of porcelein, she's heavy to the touch. Kinda like a blunt murder weapon. Hehe. At the bottom of each Momiji is a slot ( not THAT kind of slot ) that can be used to keep a secret message. Coincidentally, my Mei is somewhat of an insider in this whole Momiji business and was quite surprised that I suddenly showed interest in the collectibles. As a welcome gift, she sourced me a male Momiji that's not selling anywhere in the country. Hehe. Ollie's the name and he too has pink hair, but sports a skateboard on his back. SK reciprocated as well by getting me Silly-Billy, the white-haired cousin of Luca. She came packed in a cute inflated cushion and a cardboard carton. She's the more conventional type, Japanese and in a Kimono. Well,

Zoom!

Zoom! is the stupid campaign started by Tourism Malaysia to encourage more people to have local holidays and increase foreign tourist arrivals. One of their approaches include putting up posters in STAR LRT cars, and boy, are those posters ugly and uninformative. I think a lower secondary kid with Adobe Photoshop 6 could have done better. They lack focus with poor composition, horrible choice of photos, lousy picture quality and lack of cropping skills. For Frasers hill they can just zoom on some random field with a few flower and expect tourists to go wow? Other posters featuring eco-tourism merely showcase some random riverbank and it just looked like an anti-pollution poster. Good God! Lets go cuti-cuti Malaysia! -- Regards, William

Keep It Short

Finally cut my hair on Saturday after Jr. gave me a puzzled look at the Pre-VDay party regarding my unruly mop of hair ( yes, this is a flashback, at least I didn't blog about the party, :P ). KK, my regular stylist gave me a weary stare-- KK: I'm tired of your current hairstyle. Let's do something new. Ready to shave off the sides? Me: Err.... OK.. KK: Ohhh... my hands are itching to use the shaver! (revving the shaver with wild abandon, but not quite Edward Scissorhands la....) With that, he shaved off the sides and a chopped the back, leaving a triangular chunk. After he styled my hair, I walked over to meet my mum and SK at the nearby organic shop. Mum & SK: Wah! Organic Shop Uncle: Something exploded on your head? Me: -_-" More negative comments awaited me at the office. Colleague 1: Eh, why you cut so short la. I cannot accept la. Especially the back. Like samseng. Me: -_-" Client Big Boss: Your hair reminds me of when I was in primary school.

MelWedding1 Swiped from williamnyk . The next day, we woke up early and planned to attend mass at the nearby St. George Church only to find out at the last minute that it was an Anglican church. And so we scoured the tourist map to find an even nearer alternative-- The Cathedral of the Assumption, just beside St. Xavier's Institution. We made it for the 10:00am mass. It was an old church with the usual cross shape and vaulted ceiling, but what caught my eye was the checkered floor, two angels flanking the front door, the antique furniture, pipe organ and the confessional that was actually only a wooden partition surrounded by a metalwork of the Holy Spirit descending as a dove. Not many parishioners showed up, only 40% of the pews were filled ( and so the monetary offering was also quite mini-sized ). It was basically an opposition church -- during the sermon, the priest talked about passion and he linked it to Saudara Lim Kit Siang whom he said lives, breathes and bleeds

Pulled In All Directions

I have recently put my foot on the accelerator in regards to my financial planning, with Jaded Jeremy as my invaluable co-driver. So far, he has evaluated my current situation and declared that I need to cover the gaps in my insurance coverage before I dip into investment. Therefore, I have been dealing with my current agent and trying to get heads or tails about the 'right' choices to make. Things have been confusing for me with jargon, concepts, benefits and premium tables being thrown around that's alien to me. And I guess having a BF in the related field only serves to muddle the situation further as he has an alternate approach. Maybe one could say that too many cooks spoil the soup. I'm on the verge of swearing off soup. Sigh. It's not that I don't appreciate the input, but I suddenly feel overloaded with information. At the end of the day, I can't expect people to make decisions on my behalf, I'll just have to soldier on, I guess. Thanks Jeremy an

Pregnant

In my feverish daze yesterday, I sent my blog post to the wrong address, hence you're reading this right now. All is right again after seeing two doctors, and I'll be trudging to work tomorrow after one and half days of rest. I was super-bloated, felt like I had alien queen in me, waiting to finish gestating and burst out of my abdominal cavity. Well, it did burst out-- I barfed all over my living room floor. I felt so much better after that, but pai seh that SK had to clean that up. Thanks dear! -- Regards, William

UW I Swiped from williamnyk . Tagged, I was and here is the post. Tardy as usual. Hehe. As Apollo mentioned, I collect underwear and part of my collection is posted here for your viewing pleasure. I think I've been crazy about 'em ever since I was 7. I gained 8kg in the past year. :(. Stress and age? I came out at age 27. I lost my virginity at age 27. Took me 14 years to notice that my best friend was gay. I come from a national school background and only started speaking mandarin in university. I used to be terrified of driving. I can't ride a bicycle. Mine broke in half when I was 5 and I have never ridden on one ever since. I'm Roman Catholic convert. I was trying to reject my sexuality through religion, but in turn, I embraced both God and my sexuality. My father passed away of a myocardial infarction ( heart attack lo ) when I was 17. I'm an impatient bastard. I still work for the same IT company I joined after my graduation. I interned at the same co

Strawberry Shortcake

Thanks to Takashi's Xmas present, I'm currently smelling of strawberries! The mild soap from Body Shop has quite a pleasing fragrance, not sickeningly sweet. Quite unlike Ansell's Strawberry Lube that smells of jam! *winks at SK* Who wanna have a whiff of me now? LOL -- Regards, William

Girl on Girl

I don't know why, but I've been seeing a lot of lesbian couples these days. They're much more visible than gay couples. You can see them holding hands ( it's so unfair that they won't get a second glance ), brushing the hair out of the other's eyes ( trademark !), gazing longingly at each other... And everything else normal couples do ( but I've also seen some loudly whining and bouncing off the LRT walls ). Are gay couples too busy looking like a couple straight guys on an outing? Trying to pass off fleeting physical touches as masculine chumminess ( as Johann S. Lee so articulately described it )? Or are the signs of affection so subtle that even I miss them? When KH and I are out on dates, we're not all over each other, but he does hold my hand at opportune times or steal a kiss or cop a feel whenever the chance arises. His ability to do that never ceases to amaze me. Perhaps another reason is because lesbians can pass off as straight people? With the

Little Keong

I usually have my post-lunch kopi o or teh c at Toastbox, Pavilion. Today, I had a wondrous surprise to mark my loyal patronage-- I discovered a partial cockroach leg floating in my drink after downing three quarters of it! Argh. Didn't puke or anything, I just stared at it. If I survive the ordeal, I'll most probably go back for more tomorrow. :) -- Regards, William

White

During my Sunday swim (luckily the rain stopped the moment I stripped to my trunks), scarce eye candy finally made an appearance. The young guy was damn fair and sported a white swim trunk- so Jap porn. Motivated me to swim more than usual. As a result, I'm feeling my muscles more than usual today. More eye candy for faster achievement of fitness goals! No where do I see it mentioned in Men's Health. :p -- Regards, William

MelWedding Swiped from williamnyk . A year after my CNY trip to the Pearl of the Orient, I find myself there again attending Mel's wedding. Mum, SK and I flew there to attend the matrimonial mass at the Church of the Risen Christ and banquet at Bayview Hotel. Our taxi ride to town hit a snag as the chariot procession for Thaipusam was in full swing and traffic was affected. Mel put us up at the Bayview Hotel ( so convenient, kan? ) and I must say that it's a pretty good hotel. It's location on Farquhar Street makes it accessible to many nearby attractions and famous shrines to gluttony. It's a little old, but it doesn't look rundown. After checking in and freshening up, we immediately took a cab to the church at Air Hitam. Apparently, taxis don't go by the meter, so the trip there cost MYR30 ( the trip from the airport cost MYR38 ). But the taxi driver was kind enough to stop at a few places for us to buy a quick lunch as we were famished! Ended up with

Sticky Sheets

The weather has gone haywire. Hot, humid and stuffy best describe the past few nights. One can't help but toss and turn on the bed, hoping that the stifling and sticky feeling can be ignored to catch some Zs. I've slowly jettisoned the stuff off my bed- firstly the blanket, then the pillow. Sometimes even the tank top and trunks must go. :p. But sleeping in the buff is a contentious issue these days with the whole Elizabeth W issue. But if you do see my naked pictures being circulated on the internet and through MMS, I'd be lucky to have it as a footnote on some obscure news on the 24th page. Zzz... Blessed are those with air-conditioning. -- Regards, William

A DAP CNY

Image
The Democratic Action Party (DAP) had their open house on CNY6 at the KL and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall. Parking was insufficient, so many had to park at the roadside. As a result, our over-zealous traffic police were there to issue summonses though it was just a peripheral road and the road obstruction was minimal. That's double standards for ya. Many DAP stalwarts were there, Saudara Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Teresa Kok, Gobind Singh, Karpal Singh, Fong Kui Loon, Tan Kok Wai, Tony Phuah and Loh Gwoh Bourne. Wan Azizah represented PKR and several members from PAS made an appearance. The Selangor MB came right as I was leaving and even RPK came! The whole venue was decorated very nicely in red and the stage had an oustanding 3D backfrop. Visitors were treated to a chinese orchestra performance, a lion dance by the 29 times world champion from Muar ( a very daring display of skill and dexterity ), a senior citizen's choir ( unfortunately like running your fingers against

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
