Tonight I Celebrate My Love.....& Underwear

Well its day three back in Singapore….or is it four? Ah well like my mom said to me once, “If you spent less time trying to chase girls in school and more time on your homework, your math would be much better!” The operative word in that sentence is “trying”.

A Casanova Tim is not.

Hung out with my best mate yesterday who was kind enough to pay me a visit at home. I suppose it was my charming presence which she’s missed oh so much in the last 6 months I’ve been away. Then again it quite possibly could be the fact that she wanted to get her hands on the presents I brought back for her.

On top of that I had to give her cabfare home!

Miss Ng finally arrived after the workday at her yuppie magazine writing job came to a close.

“Welcome home Tim. Missed you so. You look well. How are you?”

Unfortunately such affectionate and endearing expressions only remain in my imagination.

Instead, upon first sight, I was greeted by the lovely words “Eee what’s with your hair?”

Quickly followed by “Where’s my underwear?”

I never thought the day would come where I would hear those words pass her lips. After all…we’re friends. And that’s a phrase I’m used to hearing from someone who I’m…..y’know!

*Shudder*

Yes you know you truly are the best of buds when you go to the ladies section of a department store and go hunting for hipsters, thongs, boycut shorts, etc. for a chick whom you aren’t actually gonna see wearing.

Sheesh, I’ve never even gone underwear shopping with any of the girls I’ve dated.

I also got her a pink thong because I remember her saying something along the lines of “Hmm it’s interesting to wear underwear and still feel the denim from my jeans on my cheeks.”

HAHAHAHAHAH! Better the denim from your jeans than the denim from mine!

Told you I had good taste.

Anyhoo, we spent the rest of her visit watching Austin Powers and listening to CDs. One thing I’ve always been grateful for in our friendship is that we share the same taste in music, regardless of how silly it is. Check this out, soppy cheesy tunes that would make even Class 95’s Captain of Your Heart cringe. I think the real low point came when we started belting out the lyrics to ‘Tonight I Celebrate’.

Sad - yes. Fun – Absolutely.

Well I guess that’s what friends do. Buy each other underwear, and do stupid things together that we would never dream of doing in front of anybody else.

In a nutshell, a true friend is someone you can be completely uncool around. As if we weren’t already uncool enough!

We also took numerous photos with her new camera phone (which between you and me I’m surprised she even know how to operate – Techno wizz I’ve never quite seen her as).


I’m quite pleased with these 2 photos. The other 50 pictures we took were ugly. You see we have this phenomenon. We hardly ever both look good in the same pic. If I turn out ok, she doesn’t and vice versa. (Although most of the time I’m the one looking fine Haha! Sucker punch Cow Kin!)

Alrighty then. That covers the events of the day worth blogging about. I’m off to return to PS2 land where I continue to play with muscular men in underwear.

Ok that didn’t quite come out right. I mean I’m playing a wrestling game. Y’know? Dudes twisting and turning each other in numerous holds? Ok that doesn’t sound quite right either. Ah forget it!

Lord Of The Blogs - The Return Of The Tim

Wow it’s definitely been while eh? Yeah almost a month since my last entry and boy has a lot happened since. 2 reasons for the major lag.
 
No 1 – I moved out of my apartment to a friend’s place (who didn’t have internet access) in the final weeks of my stay in Melbourne.
 
No 2 – Laziness.
 
I didn’t say they were good reasons.
 
Anyway as you might have gathered, I have made my long awaited return to the land of sun, sand and si – bey hotness. Do I miss Melbourne? Well probably not as much as a lot of other people I know. Then again I was only there for a year and I knew I was just there for that tacky little degree and jet back home. I do miss the weather there, although it was supposed to start hailing the day I left. Then again, I’d pick falling ice balls from the sky to having to eat ice balls at the local food centre to stay remotely cool in this oven we call home. You can imagine how extreme the switch is, going from frigid winter to .. this. 
 
I also miss a few friends I’d made in the land of Roos. They know who they are so I don’t have to name names. After all a blog is not a cheesy dedication radio programme. Although if it was, it would probably go something like this.
 
Blog DJ: (In super Fako Ang Moh Accent) Howdy! You’re locked awn (have you noticed they can’t pronounce ‘on’ properly?) Blog F.M The  ____(Insert adjective here. eg. Coolest, Hottest, Best, etc) station of the nation.
 
Blogger: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Sharp piercing noise cos many radio listeners are too stupid to switch of their radios when they are on air causing major feedback)
 
Blog DJ: So who would you like to daddykate the next song to?
 
Blogger: To all my flens in Melbourne Australia. Thanks for the memories and good times. Stay cool and funky and friends forever!
 
*shudder*
 
On a serious note. Thanks and I love you guys.
 
Okay pic cher and story time.
 
One day there were 2 very cool guys. One of whom had surprisingly big nostrils.

They decided to take a road trip up to the mountains. So they woke up early and set out to rent a bitchin’ set of wheels.

Unfortunately they were all out of bitchin’ wheels and we had to settle for this ride instead.

Vroom vroom!

It was 4 hour drive up to this place called the Grampians. On the way, they saw lots of these.

They also found out why we don’t see elephants everywhere we look.

When our two heroes reached their destination, they learnt 2 very important lessons.
 
1 – Going sightseeing in the mountains is a good idea.

2 – Going in the rainy foggy winter isn’t

That’s almost all they could see with all the fog everywhere.

Undaunted, the two geniuses decided they were going to come back with proper photos anyway. So they created their own interesting situations.

We call this…the Ponderous Series!

 
Okay well that’s all for today’s story. Special thanks to Dawn and Andrew for getting me off my ass and back to blogging. It’s good to be home.
