Soiree on the Hilltop

At the Chairman's invitation, some 320 guests turned up at the NTU Alumni Club @ Slim Barracks Rise (off North Buona Vista Road) to celebrate his second doctorate degree. Food was catered by Gayatri Restaurant, music was provided by a Filipino band, and perspiration - lots and lots of it - was supplied by my beaten-up body. Eww!

Kelly Kelly

I don't usually find WWE Divas alluring (Chyna, anyone?), but the former Duchess of Dudleyville (and DANCING WITH THE STARS finalist), Stacy Keibler, was an exception. And now, current top-tier female performer Kelly Kelly (above) of the ECW brand is another. At barely 22, the curvy lass from Jacksonville, Florida, still has a long way ahead of her in this business. With dedication and fan/company support, she could, in future, become the next Keibler. Who knows?

Kite Flyer

Escape @ Pasir Ris' NTUC Downtown East may be "360 degrees of fun" and Singapore's largest outdoor theme park, but when it showers it's 'groundhog day' and 'back to the saddle'.
For our luck, only Haunted II, Ferris Wheel, Kite Flyer (pictured) and Pirate Ship (out of a total 15 attractions) were sampled. Good thing we were given complimentary tickets for our next/return visit (which can alternatively be used for Wild Wild Wet).

Pantheism

Although I don't belong to one particular faith like Buddhism or Christanity, I do believe there's a God. The thing is, am I theistic (i.e. belief in existense of a personal God as creator and ruler of the world) or pantheistic (i.e. belief that God is All and All is God, and that God and the Universe are one)?
Hmm...I may have to go with the former?

I'm Fat, But I'm Cute

What if - and I'm just supposing what if - my Hogan grew to this size? What would we do? What would Jerry and Mandy do? Would the latter still dare to bully her kor kor? I'd think twice!
And, um, in case someone else should ask first, is that his penis??

Dinner @ The Manhattan Fish Market

Deep fried fish fillet, calamari, oysters and prawns served with chips and garlic rice...the mere mention of these 'cast members' of the $33.90 Manhattan Seafood Platter for Two 'super show' makes my stomach growl with hunger! Argh!
But this is now. Then, it was a losing battle against gastronomical constraints and the law of diminishing returns. Ugh!
