Anticipated Serendipity

Being Shallow

June25

ChrisW and I were at Salsa 101 on Saturday.

Since it was supposed to be a glitzy event, a lot of people were dressed up (not me though, coz I was there early for the workshops and didn’t feel like spending 5 hours plus in a fancy outfit and heels). So I was comfortably underdressed in my jeans, pink top, and jazz shoes :D

So anyway, we were lamenting on the fact that there are so few good-looking Malaysian males for us to feast our eyes on while there are so many more hot-looking babes for the guys to salivate over. Being rather bored at that moment, we decided to be really superficial and made up a game where we were to spot at least 10 good-looking males at that event.

ChrisW : Oh, Mr. A is quite ok. Good physique and pleasant-looking.
Me : Hmmm… yeah, I agree. He’s No. 1.

We continued male-watching. And watching. And watching.

Me : Eh, we’re still stuck at No. 1.
ChrisW : Yah man, this is sad. I’ve already filled my list of 10 hot-looking babes.

At that point, we were standing outside the ballroom. We decided to head into the ballroom coz the main event was starting.

ChrisW : That gwailo there is not bad as well.
Me : Eh, are we counting Mat Sallehs too?
ChrisW : Ya la, any good-looking male here, regardless of race.
Me : Oh, ok. Hhhmmm… ok la, can pass. He’s No. 2. Oh, I can think of No. 3 but I can’t see him around. Wait, lemme look for him and then you tell me whether he can be No. 3.

We stood around, then I went to get in a few dances. It was quite exhilarating… seeing that I haven’t been out dancing for a few weeks. Also found out that I’ve lost some of my stamina! :-o

ChrisW : Eh, where’s your No. 3?
Me : *looking to my left* Errr… I dun see him around.
ChrisW : Is that No. 3? *nodding towards Mr. C on my left*
Me : Oh, I didn’t think of him but can also. What do you think?
ChrisW : Hmmmm… ok la, I wouldn’t say that good-looking but can pass.
Me : Yay! We’ve got No. 3!!

The competition began. Then back to social dancing.

Me : Oh oh! There’s my supposed No. 3! What do you think?
ChrisW : Nah, no la.
Me : Really ar? But he’s got an ok body-size. Not scrawny, I dun like scrawny guys.
ChrisW : Yah yah, me too!!

So we continued looking, in between dances.

ChrisW : Actually, I think your No. 3 can masuk the list la.
Me : Huh? Really ar? Are you sure? Oh no, does this mean our standards are jatuh-ing already? Within a span of a few hours?! *gasp!* Is this an indication of the expectations of the general female population in M’sia of men? That over the years, they tend to lower their standards coz they can’t find anyone meeting their criteria?! Wow, and we’ve proven that to be true in accelerated time!
ChrisW : *laughs* Yah, maybe so…

So we ended the night with only 4 on our list of good-looking men at that event.

Now, before anyone shoots me down and accuses me of being superficial, I did mention that (1) we were bored, and (2) we WERE being superficial with our list coz we were solely looking at physical attributes. So dun come at me with a parang and accuse me of being totally shallow! :P

Hey, when gals get bored, we are entitled to amuse ourselves ;-) Men do it too!

Mow ‘Em Down!

June25

Few things infuriate me more than seeing those brainless Mat Rempits blatantly flaunt traffic rules, endangering other road users, and being able to do nothing about it.

Had just finished a show at the DBKL Auditorium this evening, around 11pm. Was waiting at the traffic lights shortly after coming out of the DBKL building (the traffic lights were red). Suddenly, this whole bunch of Mat Rempits came roaring by from behind, on their bikes, doing wheelies and they didn’t even stop for the traffic lights! It was RED, for heavens’ sake! It wasn’t even turning yellow to red! And there was oncoming traffic!!

Seriously, at times like these, I don’t think about karma, and just wish some big heavy vehicle would come and mow them all down!

Yeah, Visit Malaysia Year alright. This is how we show visitors how truly NOT Asia our country is, with all these hooligans ruling central KL. Such a good way to make them think twice, three times about returning.
