The Great Singapore Skank IV: The Naked Chef

Water Gate Swiped from williamnyk . This was the day that I cooked lunch for KH. I got out of the house together with him. He headed to work, I headed to the nearby NTUC FairPrice. Bought a chicken carcass, a couple of whole chicken thighs, some ground pepper ( those guys have a very spartan kitchen ), fishballs and a packet of choy sam fah . Back at home, I cleaned the poultry and deboned the thighs, dumping them into the soup stock. The chicken thighs I marinated with light soy sauce, pepper and teriyaki sauce. Later, I dumped the herbs ( kei zhi, yuk chuk, wai san, tong sum, longan ) that KH had lying around into the soup, letting it simmer for about 3 hours. In the meantime, I pan-fried the chicken. KH took another half day off, and when he had nearly arrived, I stir-fried the vegetables with the fishballs. The meal was kinda weird though as we did not have it with rice... but with penne! ( JJ's kitchen is definitely no Kitchen Stadium ) There was no proper gravy for i

The Wedding Banquet

The Chinese have the masculine and feminine word for the verb "to marry". "Chui" is for guys and "Ka" is for gals. For some odd reason, my colleagues were discussing who I was gonna "ka" and the menu for the wedding banquet. Not that I mind getting married off and being the stay-at-home husband, but it was weird that they were demanding roasted suckling pig to be on the menu. And the dessert has to be a Winnie the Pooh jelly. Wtf, right? Do you hear wedding bells just yet? -- Regards, William

Know Thy ATM

I find that many people do not realise the full potential of the ATM machine. To many, it merely spits out cash. Coupled with the cash deposit machine, a crude funds transfer is possible. Therein lies the problem. Banks are trying to decrease the volume of customers at branches by investing in more and more of such automated machines-- hence creating the so-called "self-service branch". But customers misuse them due to lack of information. I see a lot of people withdrawing money and subsequently depositing them, without realising that such intrabank transfers can be performed online, via the ATM. The result is the same, the money gets transferred ( but it is even safer as no physical notes are involved ), but what they fail to realise is that when the money in the ATM runs out, it is rendered "out of service" ( even non-monetary transactions are disallowed) . And when the cash deposit machine is full of cash, it also ends up "out of service". So please do

Guys Over Gals

Snakeface Swiped from lexillustrator . During my GSS last April, I swiped a book from KH's bookshelf-- "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong. Quite a heavy read of theology and blah blah blah , but it was interesting and revealing to say the least. Seems that faith is really screwed up. lol. Here's something that caught my eye: Augustine, the Latin theologian who defined the Trinity for the Latin Church was quoted in 'The Literal Meaning of Genesis': "... if it was good company and conversation that Adam needed, it woud have been much better to have two men together as friends, not a man and a woman." Religion has definitely evolved a lot and I must say that the things that I have read about how Christianity got to the way it is today is a real page-turner. Blasphemy? History? Philosophy?

Sweatz

Woke up finding my sheets and pillow damp this morning. Heaven forbid, I didn't shu shu in my bed! I wasn't lucky enough to have had a giant wet dream. And no, I don't sleep on a leaky water bed. It was my sweat! And I even sleep topless. >_<". When will the weather lighten up...? -- Regards, William

Blossoms

The Family Tree is a far cry from what it was two years ago. From a sapling, it has grown tall and lush. And now, the tender shoots start to bud, promising blossoms of love. It warms my heart to see this. -- Regards, William

The Great Singapore Skank III: Bridges in the Sky

SingaporeHols20094 Swiped from williamnyk . Back from Melbourne and still blogging about Singapore... hehehehehe KH took half day leave on Wednesday, so we had lunch together at Fre(n)sh , Vivo City. Had my first try of quiche and tartine. The former's an egg-based pie of sorts with chicken and vegetables as its filling. Tartines are basically like bruschettas, but with french onion and potato topping instead. Both came with a simple salad of lettuce, raisins and french dressing. Dessert was a tiramisu with loads cocoa powder, which KH kinda choked on. LOL. Next on our activity list was the nature walk. From the MRT station, we walked up Mt. Faber to the Jewel Box , a restaurant cum cable car station cum lookout point. The weather wasn't too hot, and the trail was quiet. It gave us a chance to join hands and enjoy the walk, giggling and being a little naughty as we went. From there on, we continued on to the Henderson Waves, a beautiful, undulating bridge of wood and

I'll be frolicking with kangaroos, koalas, wombats, emus and penguins for a week starting Wednesday. See ya! -- Regards, William

Ten Beers

Kusanagi of SMAP fame said it best, "There is nothing wrong with being naked." Yes, there's nothing wrong. Now for the rest of the members to make the same declaration. ;) -- Regards, William

The Family Jewels Need No Jewels!

Over a cup of Teh C ( yes, at the Siew Keong place ), my Burmese colleague out of the blue regaled me about tales of penile enhancement, all for the sake of female satisfaction , eh-hem. The things he described really caused me to scrunch up my face, even worse than staring down at a cockroach leg in one's cup. Heh. D-I-Y projects with little glass beads and a razor with a smidgen of antibiotic cream for a bumpier ride with the ladies ( gotta ask SK what she thinks of this ). And heaven forbid sewing knots of horsehair into the penile skin to keep the women coming back for more and more. Ghastly! If it was me, I'd rather stick to a Swarovski-encrusted dildo than an accessorized cock! Have a nice weekend, folks! I on the other hand, have to work! :(

Expect. Ask. Not Get It.

It's a small thing really. But it makes me happy. I used to just expect it. And naturally was disappointed. Hence I opened my mouth, made my expectations known. It was acknowledged. I was happy for a time. But that has degenerated. It makes no sense, huh? It does to me. Time to accept the fact. -- Regards, William

Quality Revisited

I have seen ISO9001:2008 at work and I must say that I'm a true believer that these certifications mean squat. Remember my post about KL Monorail's recent quality management announcement? Well, to THEM, certification means taking more than a week to get an escalator fixed and allowing chaos at the interchange stations during rush hour. Trains brimming. Stations brimming. Splendid. So much for that. -- Regards, William

The Great Singapore Skank II: Domestic Drudgery

Image
SingaporeHols20093 Swiped from williamnyk . Taking a cue from Apollo, I woke up at 7:45am to "ready my man" for work. However, KH was the one fretting over me, making me breakfast of hamster grains and milk ( so tiring to chew that sawdust ). I walked with him to the bus stop to send him off and familiarise myself with the layout of JJ's condo area. It felt good waving him off... A strange feeling. But a good one. Back upstairs, I started my domestic drudgery by ironing his clothes. I suspect that he was purposely delaying his ironing in anticipation of my arrival. :P. With that out of the way, I went online and by 11:00am I was preparing to go out to meet KH, JJ and K850i for lunch at Hachi Tei . Had a nice lunch of chirashi don and JJ even managed to get a discount off the bill. K850i was regaling us with tales of his dragon-boating. Never fails to trigger imagery of tanned hunks exerting themselves... yummy! With KH ( he came all the way from Paya Lebar just

The Three Words

Three simple words. KH and I use it so often that I sometimes fear that it would lose its potency and meaning. In our countless daily SMS, we sign off with it. At the end of our nightly phone conversations (or phone sex, :p), we say it to each other in addition to the standard "good night". But tonight, KH suddenly spoke the three words shyly mid-conversation. I thought he had office gossip to share or some update on upcoming trips. It sounded so sweet to my ears and rang out loudly though it was a whisper compared to our usual conversational tone. Amused and elated at the same time, I replied him in the age-old manner, "I love you too", after making him repeat it three times. Lol. I still feel warm and fuzzy and inexplicably happy. And of course, a little bit horny! -- Regards, William

Earth Hour

I had my very own Earth Hour when I got home from work yesterday. The lights were out for a couple of hours, so I can even rephrase it as Earth Hours. Had a candle-lit dinner and I read a bit of the papers by the flickering light. Luckily it rained, so I didn't miss the fan that much. Even my CDMA phone line died. As time stretched on, the only natural thing to do was to stuff my mouth. Before I knew it, the light was back on. Tomorrow, the saga continues. No water for twelve hours. >_<" -- Regards, William

Easter

Easter marks one the holiest days in the Christian calendar as it commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after he was cruxified and died for the sins of mankind. For the Church and the faithful, everything hinges on this belief. However, I find myself having the skankiest of SMS conversations with Potato Bill on Easter Sunday. Not about religion of course, but the Easter Bunny side of it. Talks of easter eggs with creamy fillings, white chocolate bunnies that one would chew on the whole day, rummaging one's easter basket for goodies and treats... Never will I look at the Easter Bunny the same way again! Happy Easter everybody! -- Regards, William

The Great Singapore Skank I: Touchdown

Golden Panda Swiped from williamnyk . In case you don't know, I actually have 48 days of annual leave left and I'm desperate to clear them off before my company forfeits 'em all. Hence, I made a leave plan that will allow me to do so, IF the work schedule permits. Heaven has been kind enough to let things fall into place and I was granted a week's absence from the office. And so, I flew down on JetStar to Changi Terminal 1 ( over-rated, IMHO, but immigration was fast and it was short way to the belt ). The flight was a bit bumpy, but that was expected with the weather and small aircraft. Read in the in-flight magazine that getting a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel is a must-do! Sei lor . While I was waiting at the arrival hall, I overheard the most "precious" phone conversation: He was telling me like the girls he was flirting with... and I was like screw you... I'm at Clark Quay at the moment and I can just snap my fingers and guys would com
