Is it really the middle of March?



I cannot believe we’re halfway through March already. I’ve been so busy coming in and out of KL only to see that the first quarter of the year had literally whizzed by! And I am anticipating this week to pass by like lightning too.

Tomorrow I’ll be tied up the whole day training .. Not looking forward to it but hey, a girl’s got to make some money for all those shopping. I am reserving Wednesday for meetings before joining Homer in Bangkok on Thursday.

Aaah, busy Bangkok. Where Homer and his “homies” eagerly looks forward to hop in go-go bars and watch shows where ping pong balls and razors comes out from the tunnel of love (or is it just tunnel for them?).

I’ve been to Bangkok a couple of times before for work but I never did get to watch these shows. Me and my friend Dior, just could not bring ourselves into any of the clubs. Walking along Patpong road, we can see the topless girls dancing on table tops, writhing against the poles.

From where we were, we can hear the girls talking to each other, “ ar- rrai.. swwammmee.. krang krong raaaiiii… khap kum kaaa….” (this is my horrible interpretation of their beautiful language), it sounds like they were talking about normal stuff, probably they were talking about what they had for lunch or how they were stuck in traffic. We can see all the men oogling and cheering them on, while the girls just kept on dancing and talking; ignoring their drunken “adoring” crowd.

Some men were tugging on us to get into the club, “ come in madaamm, yu will enjoii.. show vely sensual.. vely sensuaalll.. madam! Come, come.. you and flend, pretty girls. You will laaiikk, sensual maadaaamm..”

Aieeeeeeeee!!!

We would have gone in but after seeing the girls dancing and talking like that we were not sure how we would enjoy the show. They look like they HAD to do it rather than they WANT to do it. So we wouldn’t know whether we should applaud and slip in tips on their G-string or just stare blankly at them and pretend we’re enjoying the show.

So any suggestions on where I should take Homer and his “homies” for a great boys night out?
