Dawn's almost cracking, and I am lying chest down on the bed, with my head to my right.
There he is, peacefully resting, with light snores, almost inaudible.

And there comes my little grin.

I would wonder. How does he make me feel this way?

By just looking silly in his sleep.

I stare at the face again.

Everything seems roundish, the frame, the chin, the nose, the lips, even the fingers that bent over his forehead.
His face seems soft and pinkish from the low light, with morning stubbles peeking out.

An absolute delicacy to me. If he were a cotton candy, I would bite him off gladly.


6 foot with 6 pecs, he is not.
Tanned, lean and buff, he is not.
Killer jaws, mean deep-set eyes, he is not.


A sight for my eyes anyday, he is.

This is love, my dear.

He is a sight, not just despite.., but because.



And at such sights,

There'll be this overwhelming urge to run into his soft, marsh-mallow embrace

inhale his sweetness and feel my heart soar.

KERRABEE TRRIP story ONE

Mission: Walton International Team Survivor Series
Vicinity: Aonang, Krabi, Thailand

Participants: 80 Land bankers, managers, VPs.
Date and time: sometime in April.

Bleah.


I love the company I work for, how many people can say this?

A lot of times I hear :

"That bitch wants it her way again...She said A now she said B.. What the.."

"What the F does he think he is? Just cause he's more senior? bloody hell.."

"Wah lauu.. work for a whole year, wayang here and there.. and I got a hundred bucks raise oni..."

*shrugs*

I love my job and I love the fact that I love it.

A big portion is because the people there are simply amazing.
Another portion is the various rewards, $$$, perks, career path, experience.

I think if I am still stuck as an engineer at Singapore's biggest engineering firm, I would run into a big deficit by now, considering my big default expenditues every month.

ANYWAY!!!!!!!
We went for a Krabi Team building trip in April. All paid for, of course.
There were 80 of us and it was a blast..

Krabi is located South of Thailand, it was only about an hour ride away by the air bus.


We spent the whole of the second day free and easy. 8 of us decided to go on a boat ride to Phi Phi island, to snorkel, suntan, laze around..

So I hopped on the boat with one motor (only) and we set off.


I noticed that most islands in this area resemble rocks and caves.



















They sometimes look like an upward-portuding you know what.

Kind of rude leh.



















Here's me and all my mighty ah-lianess.




















More rocky islands...

This cave is meant for collecting the very exorbitantly priced bird's nest. So ... you know which cave to rob at night then!

OUr first island stop was the Maya Island..

Opps.. sorry... eversince Leo DiCaprio shot THE BEACH here, it is hereby now known as the Leonardo beach.


What a surprise.
















I didn't like it.

Overcrowded, dirty, commercialised.

I then spotted this Middle Eastern lady and her friend bathing in the sea water, fully clothed, from head to toe. (see above picture)

I wonder if this is the practice back home. Not very practical leh. Heh.


We took pictures.. spotted the Tsunami Warning meter poles (WATER REACHED THIS LEVEL DURING TSUNAMI) and it was about the hieght of my neck. Scary.


And we took off again.

More caves with hanging sticks.


















Some are of incomprehensible shapes.

By the way, This nice angmoh lady I met on the plane told me that there's a cave in Krabi called "Dick Cave"..

And yes, you guessed it, all the stalactites and stalagmites looked like dicks..

Some were painted and some tribes pray to it!

I really wanted to check it out, but seemed like the local Thais I asked, were unwilling to divulge its whereabout.

That or they just didn't know what I meant. I already tried to explain in the most visual way possible.



















The waters were OK blue, turquoise but due to the recent monsoon, it was rather murky too.

I spotted some other boats around..

I spotted those touristy boats with Korean and Japanese aunties and their strawhats and many noisy kids..

Many of such boats.. They were not very happening, speaking little English..fanning away, shelthering themselves from the sun...I could just hear kids making alien noises.

Those Koreans are so anti-sun. They would go to Thailand, bringing their sunblock of SPF50 or 60.. If got 100 I am sure they would buy it too.

They then envelope themselves in long sleeved tops, berms, shades and a big towel to put across their face in case thet need to lie by the beach..

Alamakk.. Then why bother??? Go Northpole lah..

I then spotted the scuba diver's boat.

ah... now we're talking.. I spotted tanned lean bodies in bikinis, and buffed up, tanned sic packers with sunbleached curls and trendy boardshorts, sometimes with some tattoos peeking across the back, biceps.. and pelvic curves.. (Actually, hardly any tattoo near pelvic curves, but yes, I was looking at the pelvic curves)

Such a different sight.

I should really take up scuba diving. At least I wont be sitting in the same boat as the fully clothed aunties, uncles and their noisy kids.


Hey, not that I don't like kids...!!!
But compared to a whole team of slithe musclemen with tiny trunks on.... Hello???


We stopped by Phi Phi island.. and we had a feast.. yay!!

















But every buffet there, always consisted of tom yum soup and the bloody onion rings..

Can't they give us more exotic Thai foods like the fried grasshoppers??


















I walked around the little island and spotted "

SIMILAN ISLANDS TOURS!


...Tsk.. Si mi lan??


We walked around for about an hour there, buying ice creams and look-see-look-see.

I spotted this uber cool cafe by the beach tooo..

It played reggae and Bob Marley sounds all day long..

totally chill.... Check out the Rastafari theme..

If I wasn't living and working in Singapore, I would have done different things at this scene. Tsk.

















We walked around the corner and Viola!
Magic mushroom leh!

Well, or he claimed so!

Didn't try it, don't worry. We just looked at it, took photo and talked about it.
I am too old for these vices lah.

















Then, we walked past Pee Pee homemade bakery.

What say you?

Whats with their slogan too "We know your taste"??

No you don't!!

That day, Marcelly tried snorkelling for the first time in her life.

I am not joking, I am that suaku. *shrugs* I was never a sea or beach baby.
What do you expect? People grew up in England, there got no beach ok. Forgeddit. The beach in Brighton has pebbles for Sands and the other ones, just don't bother lah. Period. Nobody go England for the beach. I only started going to the beach again when I moved to Singapore.

At that time, I was happy with Sentosa's imported sand and the generous views of tankers.


















Heh Heh.



















There I went, happy as clam.
It was weird to breathe through my mouth at first. I kept thinking I was suffocated, but got used to it after a while.


Our tour guide dived deep and surprised us with something.

Something rather eekey..



















Eeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk

Sea cucumber.... black and soft, slimy...and filthy-jello like...

However, if you hold it, squeeze it and stroke it longer, it gets hard and stiff.

Funny.. I have a deja vu here.

Aitee............. that was Phi Phi Island..

We spent the rest of the days mostly in Aonang....clubbing, playing some team building games, go tailor make suit jackets and shoppp..I didn't call back to Mr Gan. Not once. No time...=(

We also put up skits. Heh Heh.. I wrote the script ok!!!

Stay tuned...

I shall rest today... must go back do work... =)

Ta.

My Devlinish 26th Birthday..

I AM OLD LADY OLEADY!!!

But my friends are still awesomely treating me like a 15 yr old. Heh Heh.
I get the best Birthday parties..

Around the 2nd of May this year. My friends planned a nice party for me. It was supposed to be a surprise, but because I am so kaypoh, in the end I found beforehand.

The night started with dinner at the THE IVORY, Indian Cuisine.

Sumptuous, gorgeous Indian food. We got the VIP room too. YAY!


















The babes: Sandy, Shil, Sze and Su..

















The boys: Cat, Darren, me, Gan and Tim

















The food: Goat cheese cubes in curry, included...

They also delivered us a wrong bottle of wine, about 100 bucks more expensive..we didn't know so we drank it... goodness, so Mr Gan had to oblige and pay.

Boy to boy conversations included..


















Violet and Sandra

Birthday girl and her wishes.

The gang

Birthday song is a necessary procession. After the bubbly conversations, cake blowing, hugging.. etc etc.. We proceeded to Gotham Penthouse where a bunch of our other friends were already waiting.

There the party started...

.

.

.

We had the VIP seats so it was cosy.. drinks were flowing.. songs were playing and cameras were flashing..

.

The candid bunch.

Happy girls...

After a while, the scene changed a little..
people got more intoxicated..
gadgets were out..

Dr Violet Tang took out a staethoscope.

















So Cat tried it on moi.


















She reckoned checking my brain was more imperative, compared to checking the chest.

My lovely celeb friend Sin Huey came down too..

YAY!

Anyway, we hinted there'll be a male stripper show, so I bet all the girls came down.. mostly for the strippers not for my birthday . Haha.

Below are more girls, in anticipation of the strip show.

So, that was Gwen, me and Evelyn. Eve was in SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finals you know.

They are all Salsa fanatics and experts..



















.
.
Suyin (Gan's sis), Eve, Gwen and Sin Huey.

Suyin teached Bacchata you know? She is a high flying accountant, a great salsa dancer and she's single..

Come come apply! Queue now opens!



OK, in case you didn't know. Gotham Penthouse is a very special club.
Targetted mostly to girls with penchant for slithe, hard male bodies parading on stage.

Let me correct myself, parading should be replaced with gyrating.

They have jaw dropping shows, made up of 4 male dancers from South Africa who bared it to their G's. Yummy!

Oh dear..

Look at this picture!

I looked sad yeah.. ?

Not because they weren't cute..!!!

But it was more like a "Why am I attached?" scream.

Heh HEh. Joking.

The two cuties were Devlin and Ryan.

They are the resident (strip) dancers at Gotham Penthouse.

They are hot.. they have hot buns.. they have hot moves and they have girls hot at their trail, screaming and grabbing...

Jackie is so kiasu, she wants them too..

We watched the show 3 times that night.
They had different songs for different sets.

They danced awesomely to the hip hop tunes and some slower jazz tunes.

Each time they took out their belt... or shirt button..
the crowd (mostly ladies of course).. would go wild.


They would then slap the belt hard accross the stage floor and more screams came..
Typical lah.


The boy audiences were yawning away. Either bored, indifferent, disgusted or just uncomfortable. Heh heh.

So.. after the second show. They asked me whom I think was the cutest dancer.

I thought let's go for the blondest one. Devlin.

He's really tall, he's really cute and he looks really young.

So, before I knew it, Devlin came out of nowhere, grabbed my hand and pulled me to a corner, with empty seats.

Ah.. here comes the private strip dance. And guess what (no price for guessing), Jackie joined the show!!! She just have to come and steal some thunder. hahaha..

I was excited yet scared. I think I wasn't exactly enjoying it. I was a bit apprehensive. I was like: Is this OK?

I mean, I don't know how guys feel about girls stripping, probably very happy lah. But a guy stripping for me? A bit funny leh. I feel like I am still the one violated. Heh Heh.

But nonetheless, this will be once in a lifetime. Or.. well.. maybe one during the hen's night. So I just went along and tried looking happy.

He still kept his T shirt on at first, while gyrating his hot buns to a hip hop tune that I can hardly recall (understandable right?).

Jackie being Jackie, jumped into the scene and stole some light.

SHe wanted Devlin too.

She was screaming:

"Me ! Me ! This one got boyfriend ! I don't have!!"

which was a blatant lie..

I was on the other hand screaming (to Gan):

" I am sorry dear... I love you!! You the best!!!!"

And I meant it!













Devlin started to loosen his jeans button.

Oh mang....







JAckie was studiously peeking into his various available crevices while I was already fainting away with too much laughter and screaming.

So that's it then.

GOTHAM PENTHOUSE! Well done lah..

I think give you guys a round of applause for going all the way out to entertain the girls in Singapore.

.

Gotham is located at CLarke Quay just above THE IVORY restaurant.

There is cover charge but hey, you get to oggle at 4 really hot bots with really hot buns.

They are friendly too.

Good place for hen's night. Idea. =)

OK LAH> That's it.. goodness each time I see those photoes, I still think they are damn obscene.

.

.

.

Happy belated birthday to myself.

Happy Birthday to my beloved dad, he joked with me that day and he loved the Raoul belt I sent him. I am happy =)

.

In fact, WIt said he started throwing away all his other belts =)

.

Also, I just watched TRANSFORMERS yesterday.

I wanna buy a car like that too. Optimus is so man. Optimus is like Mr Gan.

Super steady one. Just that Gan is not as strong cause he drinks too much beer and he's a lazy bum. But they are comparably cute.

.

OK MR Gan!!! I know you are reading this.. I still won't let you get a lapdance on your birthday OK!!

It's double standard one! I don't care.

But to celebrate your steadiness, I'd like to whore your pictures.



















The devil eyed boyfriend

Handsome smiling boyfriend

Mr Gan is so steady he kept cool about the lap dance. Totally cool about it.

He was even encouraging Devlin to do more!

SIao Ta Bo!

I guess he knows that ultimately that didn't mean anything and I'd return to his arms rightfully =)
