SLIPPER WHORE STRIKES AGAIN!

"Hello Hello" buzzed Dorothy Juice one rainy evening.

"Yes, my dear, what can I do for you? answered lil 'ole me, while multi tasking.

"Guess what I bought today?" giggled Dorothy Juice.

"No idea" answered me. I gave a short curt answer as knowing Dorothy Juice, she is fond of buying a lot and I mean a lot of things. So many that I do not have the capacity to follow up with all those purchases.

"Ah, you need to guess, very easy one" answered Dorothy Juice.

At this moment, I thought that maybe she must have done the ultimate of all, bought a house in Bangkok.

"Err, you bought an apartment there"I enquired.

"No la, not so soon" retorted Dorothy.

"Then, what did you buy" I pleaded.

"Aiyoh, you ah, no fun one, ask you to guess also don't know how to do it properly" scolded Dorothy Juice.

"Sorry la, I really do not know what you bought" I replied earnestly, not knowing what it was.

"See see" ordered Dorothy Juice.

So, Dorothy Juice changed the picture on her MSN. There in the profile part, I saw this pair of bright orange slippers!

"Huh?" not believing my eyes. "You bought another pair of slippers? Exactly how many do you have there now?" I enquired.

"See see" again ordered Dorothy Juice.

This time, all in a pretty row, there were pairs of it, all in different colors and I must add, looked very rainbow-y.

"Don't you just love them? I bought this pair, this afternoon in JJ Market (short for Jatujak, the heavenly bargain-ful area in Bangkok, where you have hundreds of stalls all situated in one area offering all sort of items right from household to pets) and I got it in the color scheme that I wanted" shrieked Dorothy Juice with excitement.

I nodded my head, even though she could not see me, I nodded in agreement that she must truly and wisely loved them, if not, why go all the way to look for this pair?

And I quirked, "If I'm ever in need of a pair of slippers in Bangkok, I will know who to look for".

Dorothy Juice gave a hearty laugh, as if, she has conquered something very important in her life; which brings me to add that her royal title as the SLIPPER WHORE belongs solely to her and no one else. Any other contender need to get some sort of approval before ever stepping on the toes of our dear Dorothy Juice!
All you intended parties, please bow before royalty when you see one!

SECRET ADMIRER

my secret admirer


Ever had secret admirers? Yeah, it sounds so cliche right, so so yesterday like in high school when we have this admirer or admire es? Well, I do not fall into that category of having admirers but I admire certain people whom I take a fancy to.


So this is my story...I have fallen for this admirer of mine for some time now; I'm not sick like those who will stalk, nope, there is a clear distinction line which draws who is an admirer and who is a stalker. However, I do not have a stalking feeling for this person but rather I really like to see this person and when I see to this person or talk to this person, I feel very happy inside of me. It certainly gives me a degree of joy just having that short conversation and getting to know the intimate part of this person.


Its like a process of peeling onions? You peel off one by one and by the end of it, you will get to the core of it. When you reach there, you will appreciate that person even more I reckon? Maybe yes and maybe no, but whatever it is, that is the process we all have to undergo.


So, last Saturday evening, I went out with this person. After finally months of chatting over the MSN, we decided to meet up for dinner. Initially, I was like stumped, should I accept or should I just follow up on what we have had on the MSN? I pondered that question very deeply before I finally plucked up the courage to say YES.


And, so yes it was, our little dinner date will be at the local steak house at the local mall. Scheduled at 8pm, we met up in front of the restaurant. Heart thumping, the minutes began to tick away, that person was a bit late but when the appearance was fulfilled, a certain bliss began to descend in. It was like after all those time talking, now is the time of reckoning.


The night went on like what nights should go on....and of course, there were moments of silence, but overall, I felt a deep sense of achievement.Why? 'Cause I managed to pluck my courage and meet the person I admired for some time now, not to say only in admiring but also a sense of feeling - a mutual feeling of camaraderie.

URINALS ANYONE?

I was in the mall this evening after having dinner with a friend. After saying our adieus, I had the urge to go to the mall's toilet. Usually, such visits are a hassle for me, as I would always expect cleanliness to be a major problem in Malaysia's toilet.

Despite all the hype of making our toilets clean, it brings some shiver to my spine when I enter one. However, for this particular mall which I entered, it was clean and well kept. Reason which I found out was that there was an attendant stationed in the toilet, hence it was clean all the way.

Anyway, my thoughts this evening is not about the cleanliness of a public toilet or how we will perceive them to be. But, my topic is on urinals. For males, whenever you enter a toilet, what is the first direction do you head to? Stalls or Urinals?

I realized that most of us do not really head to the urinals unless the stalls are fully occupied, however this evening, I witnessed two guys, obviously friends as they were chatting when they entered the toilet.

To my amazement, these two guys actually stood side by side the urinal and did their "thing". I was like, OK, something very new to me. Even if I was going in the toilet with a friend, I will never stand so close to him but these two were like next to each other and still continuing their conversations. Maybe nothing new to anyone out there but how many of us can actually say that we will stand next to a friend when we pee?

I will not, cause, I will still need my space and yes privacy. Some say its due to shyness, maybe true but in some countries like Japan, most guys actually line up to use the urinals instead of the stalls when they have the urge to urinate, unlike here where its all "rojak".

Coming back to these two buddies, well I guess most guys do it and then, there are those who chose to have their privacy in check, what about you? Will you do it with our friend standing side by side at the urinal?
