Operation Better Eyesight: The day before.

Had a chat over lindy hop co-instructor turned very good friend, J
Me: Hey, wanna meet up dinner later?
J: Can't stay up to late though. Why?
Me: Well...wanna take one last look at you before I go for LASIK
J: Awww...
Me: Cause the next time I see you, I might to be mortified.
J: Mortified? What is the meaning of mortified.
Me: It is a stronger word than horrified.
J: IDIOT.

And so, tomorrow this morning at 8.15am, begins my journey into better vision. And convenience.

The ability to see the world clearly when you first open your eyes from a slumber is priceless. The ability to hike/backpack/dive without the inconvenience of contact lenses is priceless. So now it begins, my first baby steps into my planned year long journey to backpack/go on a working tour to Europe, and probably US.

And as I looked out of my window, I prayed for a successful operation. And a perfect 6/6 vision after the operation, though it is not guaranteed.

I'm gonna be so broke...

Reasons why I'm gonna be eating grass for the next few months:

1. Operation better eyesight. That's LASIK for those who do not know. Damage to wallet: $4,700.

2. Mr. SIA pilot is back from Australia. I can foresee more sheesha and drinking session soon. Damage to wallet: $80+++

3. STOMP is coming to town. 27 Sept 2005 to 2nd Oct 2005. Though I caught it in Birmingham 5 years ago, it's so good, that I had to catch it again. Damage to wallet: $90

4. Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussion. 12 Sept 2005, Esplanade Theatre. Damage to wallet: $78

5. WOMAD. 27 August. Damage to wallet: $33.

6. Recently got introduced to the UnExpected at Wala's. They were unexpectedly good. I think I am getting my first addiction to Shirlyn's voice. Damage to wallet: $30++ per week.

Sighs... time to whore my IT services to a better paying pimp job.

BloggersCON 2005

The day before the Blogger's con, I had a conversation with Cowboy,

Cowboy Caleb: tmrw going hor
Urban Male Bitch: yes, just to organise spot the cowboy competition
Cowboy Caleb: heh you'll never spot me
Urban Male Bitch: why so shy?
Cowboy Caleb: batman what, you haven't watch yet issit?
Urban Male Bitch: no
Cowboy Caleb: fucking A. go watch
Urban Male Bitch: Yeah, ur a batman, forever in a rubber suit
Cowboy Caleb: hehhe
Cowboy Caleb: tomorrow hor
Cowboy Caleb: if you want to spot me
Cowboy Caleb: try to imagine that women can be cowboys too

And so the challenge has been set, to go Spot the Cowboy.

Arrived late on that day because of LHE training. 3 hours of constant aerials, flipping and carrying dance partners does wonders to deplete your energy level. I was zombified. But the BloggersCON was a blast. To meet the face behind the online personas.

And so it was, on Saturday, the Hunt For Cowboy Caleb began, during the talk on law and blogging. Armed with a description of Cowboy (Round face, floppy fringe and thick eyebrowns) the barflies buzzed up and down the first and second floor, to the last rumoured spot of Cowboy.

I spotted (with confirmation from some other barflies) him, and went up to say Hi. Now, it's bloggers honours not to reveal an anonymous blogger, but the barflies honour is even bigger, to go get the rest of the barflies to traumatize spot da Robert Govindasamy Cowboy. SassyJan even had a photo with da Cowboy. I really felt like a National Geographic photographer, going into Africa to hunt the elusived shy wildlife.

Oh ya, nice try in denying that ur Caleb, especially the thisismygame.blogspot.com URL.

I swear it must be the working legs that gave the game away.

Working Legs

At the BloggersCON, I have finally got to meet the faces behind the blogs. And it was not a CON. After all, the cheo bus look very much as cheo in person as in their blog. And the funny and loud bloggers are just as funny and loud in person.

There were few exceptions:

Mr. Miyagi is short. But short is cute (At least that is what the girls said)
Big fuck is short. But short is funny. Especially his irc comments when the lawyer was talking.

The party really started with the Post Event.

We had free flow of whiskeys, me being one of the contributing factors to running DXO dry of whiskey. I counted at least 10 glasses of whiskey on the rocks being guzzled down.

I met SPG, and she was petite. Kinda reminded me of a secondary school girl. I felt paedophaelic talking to her. We had an interesting brief discussion on religion. Must be the whiskey that caused it.

After which, the barflies then proceeded to Attica to club. All I can say is, the barflies really know how to party.

Spot the Cowboy Contest.

London Bombing

I was first alerted to the London bombing about at 8.30pm by the one that mattered most via SMS.

Ex: 6 explosions in london today. It's terrible the world we live in

Me: And this coming just after it was announced that london will be hosting the 2012 olympic games... You think there is a connection between the both of them?

Ex: The Olympic thing was announced yesterday. The explosion was this morning. They say they timed it in correlation with the g8 summit.


I have some friends there in London. I pray and hope that they are safe and sound. So far, family members in London is safe.

Babe Magnet

I was at East Coast last Sunday, when I realised the reason guys walk their dogs in East Coast.

Dogs are such babe magnets.

To attract babes;

1. Get a cute dog. A really cute and horny dog, that will get all excited at other bitches dogs. Let their leash loose when you see a babe walkin her dog, and allow your dog to get just next to the other dog. Before he starts smelling the other dogs butt, grab him and apologize profusely for the dogs behaviour. Make use of the situation to introduce yourself and follow up from there.

2. Get a good looking handsome dog. It seems to me that girls always fall for those golden retrievers. Either that or a really cute dog and torture it by dressing it up in those little dog shirts and shoes dress it up. Chances are, a lot of babes will start to stop and pet at your dog. Follow up with a conversation.
