What The Hell Are You Waiting For?

I am convincing myself that the only way to come to terms with certain things is to force myself to move forward and not look back. It’s been my nature that once I move ahead, I don’t look back but I take time because I want to be sure before I decide… We sometimes come face to face with 1 chance but it could turn out to all sorts of possibility and sometimes it stretches beyond you can imagine. It’s funny sometimes…

To life… The ups and downs, the unpredictability, the rare occasions, the love and joy it brings, the heartache and tears and the however you want to define it…

So, wake up and come to life and of course smell the coffee

Spicy...

I recently went on a trip to Phuket with 9 friends and part of the itinerary was to experience the A-gogo show or more famously known as the Tiger Show (Thai Girl show). For some of us on the trip, it was our first to Phuket and we only heard stories about the show.
On the last night, we made a trip to Bangla Road where many clubs host these shows. As we walked, numerous salesperson approached us to come to their club for the show but I had a specific club in mind as it was recommended by a friend. We walked along and I spotted the sign board I was looking for that says 'Spicy'. I informed my friends and one of the salesperson heard me and straight away approached me. The offer was 500 Baht (RM 50) per person just to get into the club but I managed to bring it down to 300 Baht (RM30) per person inclusive of a bottle of beer and everyone agreed to the price.
Me leading the way, we entered the club which immediately I heard a balloon popped and a scrawny not very young girl was lying down. So I guessed she must have been the stuntwoman performing the tricks. We just missed it! I looked around and there were Farangs (whites known by the Thais) all around hooting. We took our seats not too close even though it was pretty close. I think we didn't wanna look like total perverts. So the girls clad in their panties but topless were dancing at each station of their pole. When the song changed, they moved to the next pole. They all looked like they couldn't care less what they were doing except for one and she was clearly a transvestite. She was hot and had charisma compared to the rest. She did some upside down stunts on the pole which I wished I could do. Then they all stopped and came around asking for tips.
A slow music then played, it was I Can Love You Like That by All-4-One and 3 girls came out in their bra and panties one after another , stripped each other off totally and lied down on each other and licking each other. It continued til the next song Because of You by Kelly Clarkson ended. It was kind of disgusting seeing such and the Farangs hooting to it. In fact I was yawning and had to close my face cos I didn't want them to see me falling asleep. My friend Suresh, after some time didnt bother looking at all. I looked at my friends, some looked like they were gonna fall asleep and some had tears in their eyes from yawning too much.
I was starting to regret it when the stuntwoman came out. First of all, she has no make up on, secondly, her bra and panties did not match and thirdly her hair was pulled up like when we girls want to take a shower where we clip up our hair and put on a hairband. Obviously, she doesn't give a damn at what she does (not surprising). Then my friends told me that she was the same girl they saw at their last trip when they went to 2 different clubs. Apparently, this woman does the stunt at all the clubs. She makes her rounds and has her slot at each club.
She started of by shooting darts from her va-jay-jay (thereafter known as V - can't bear typing out the word all the time) at 4 corners of the stage and I saw some of my friends jaw dropped. I had to ask them to close their mouth. The next was the whistle blowing where she inserts the whistle into her V and 'blows' it in rhythm to the music played. We snickered cos it was hilarious to watch as she bent down and did it. I was quite disgusted at this point. Next thing, she takes out a glass Coke bottle filled with water, lies down and filling up her insides through her V with water and we could see the water going in and then she stands and squirts out Coke. I guess she inserted colouring or something somewhere, gosh...
By this time, I had so many thoughts like... does she even menstruate? Or had she taken care of it surgically, perhaps? And another thought... Does she find sex pleasurable given the fact that her intimate part has been obviously overworked with such stunts and of course, does she have a sucessor? haha... The next thing involves a ping pong ball stunt, basically inserting the ping pong ball and letting it dropped on top of the head of the glass coke bottle at perfect aim. Who said only men could aim huh? We then left the club, not wanting to see the rest which I saw on the catalogue would involve cigarettes, cat fish (eeeewwww) etc. It was a whole list of stunt which would make viewers stay back and buy drinks after another. Ok, maybe not us... Of all things we went for on the trip, this was the worst and I didn't know if the horrible boat ride we had was worst than this.
Yes, I went for the show and now I complain but I guess I wanted to see things for myself and now I know that I do not want to watch it again. The girls were brave but I felt really sorry for them cos they were treated like the food you get from the pasar malam where people shout out to get attention and sell their stock off. At least in pasar malam, you followed a pricing and you don't bargain unlike this. It's sad that such a cultured country where I find the people really polite and warm is swarmed by vices so out in the open.
Some of those girls were probably mothers desperate to put food on the table. I can't imagine so many girls wanting to get attention and they just decide to take such job. I guess poverty does push you into such height of desperation that you're willing to bear so much distastefully. Thailand is our neighbouring country but I can see that Malaysia is so much more blessed economically and politically. We should be thankful but never stop to strive and ask for better.

Ikan Bilis, Ikan Bawal, Ikan Jerung...

I believe opposites attract... Haha, why the sudden outburst, right? I had a long chat with a friend of mine and he was like "You had the chance with so and so and what happened, you should have, you both are so similar..." bla bla bla...
Yes, I let a good fish pass sometime back and I can never bait the same fish again cos he's getting married pretty soon. There's this particular chap, we had a lot in common and I guess we spoke the same language. He can come off like a total jerk when he talks to me from an outsider's point of view but I know him enough to know that it's all harmless and he is just being himself (A jerk yet a sweet and honest one).
Anyway, he worked overseas and I had my life here. Along the way, there was sort of a proposal to try and work things out and take it to another level but I had my life here and I did not want someone to give up his life at somewhere better so I passed the chance. I guess I just felt I was being realistic and long distance relationship was not for me. I know myself enough, it's not like I was going to cheat (I've never cheated) but I can't use the cyber world for something like this.
Now, on the other hand after hearing my friend's reasoning of why I should have been with him, I thought, would I want to be with someone very similar to me? It would be nice of course to have some common interest but not too much. It's like dating yourself... Eeewww!!! Hahaha, OK lah, I'm not that bad. I believe I am dateable and I am always ready to give and take.
Another thought that came to me is that, you end up being who you are today because of the mistakes and the lessons learned out of it. I have made mistakes, some I wished I could undo it and erased it out of my mind. But I guess at times, you have to learn to let go of some defenses you put along the way and not be overly cautious. Like, it freaks me out when a guy does certain things and I start stereotyping, it's bad...
I learned from those mistakes but I can't seem to let go certain things. I forgave but I am reminded of certain things sometimes. I need to let my guard down, so I've been told...
