Trivial matters 2/2007

Like all good military exercises, they are named X/YEAR. I am going to name my trivial matters this way too.

a. picture
I know there are people who read my blog (good friends and complete strangers)... but having someone to recognise me from my blog pic is kinda of weird. I am going to search for Lian Kai's picture for my blog profile pic. Lian Kai is a type of guy that I will get attracted to very easily, simply because I am looking for a man, not a boy. But then, some people look like a man with brain ceased developing at 20. Some time back, I read that a man's brain only get fully developed in terms of EQ at 25 yo. (It's from Men Health magazine so it cannot be wrong, I think)

b. Hokkien son
Most people know that I am a Cantonese boy. Many said I have a Cantonese look... ask those who are in their 50s for explanation. I never really know what they meant. Two days ago, my mother suddenly talked to me about my god-brother. Someone whom I last saw 10 years ago. Because my god mother's family speaks Hokkien, I am brought up speaking the dialect for two years. When I am brought home over the weekend, my parents had a hard time trying to understand what I spoke so I was forced to learn Cantonese. By six, I lost Hokkien as a spoken language and never picked it up again. That is probably why I understand the language but cannot use it. About my god-brother, he is a very good looking guy when I last saw him and he is very interested in my camp mate who looks like better looking version of James Lye. He could not recognise me at clubs these days since I have changed so much. Yes, my god-brother is gay and since i know him since 3 yo, he must be the first gay I know. :P

b. Bryan Choong
I have a very unusual family name. Choong (or zhong 鐘) which means Bell, one of those rare chinese surnames that are named after items. Bryan (a Celtic name) which means Brave and Virtuous, anyway Bryan is given by myself. My real Chinese name is kind of hard to pronounce and understand.

d. Dating
T just told me that he is starting to date someone... hardly surprising. I told him that I dun expect both of us to remain single for long... cos...Ahemm... I know we are both rather attractive individuals. Nope... I am still not dating anyone not for any reason. Simply because noone set off the spark I need for a start yet. Was at PLAY reopening on Friday, and I must say the most beautiful boys who are out are probably there that night. Very interesting crowd and my friends are huge social butterflies, i must say. Thousands of molest cases must have been filed. It just nice to be there period. Nothing much.

e. PLAY
PLAY had a good start on Friday, though little renovation from HAPPY. My friend actually discovered one of the furniture started to fall apart. hmmmm... Anyway, it was a good launch but the subsequent night is a complete disaster. I am no DJ myself but I read very recently about Start-Stop DJing. And that is exactly what happened at PLAY on Saturday. By 2am, the floor is half emptied so it is not a good sign for a club that is barely two days old.
