Woke up on a beautiful Sunday morning on the streets of Silom Soi 8 with a hangover! Darn. I was planning to make a roundtrip at the Siam centre where a few big malls are situated which includes MBK, Siam Discovery and Paragon.

So instead I walked around the corner of Silom Rd towards the Snake Farm which was next to the Red Cross Society. Opposite the farm was Robinson Store where I purchased a swim trunk which was really nicely design and cost me only RM19! If I were to buy them at the Lot 10 branch, it cost me a bomb!

I went back to the guesthouse to charged my MP4 as I was told to go to Siam centre in the evening at around 7pm where a massive Red Dragon performance will be held, and the Princess of Thailand would be there to officiate the Chinese New Year. So while waiting the batteries to be charged, I went up to my dorm and chatted with one English guy. He was travelling in Siam for a month and will move on to Burma and Vietname.

I took a nap which lasted for 3 hours! As I got up, the street of Silom was getting packed. My Vincci watched says 4pm. My plan then was to visit a sauna called Mania, which was only 15minutes walk. I found my way thanks to the Gay guide I got from Babylon the other night. My simple comment is that Mania consists of many local young man, whilst Babylon are where you can Pharangs and Pharangs chaser! The entry was only 140Baht, and it has 5 stories, two of which was garden floors. I was greeted by the owner, Yong who was Chinese Thai. He was so fond of me that he introduced me some other matured rich Thai man! I wasn't going to be labelled the Thai money boy, but it seems that those other man who saw me at the bar with these man seem to think that way.

Thank god the friend I met at Babylon soon arrived and escaped my way with him to the garden floor. We chatted and met his friend from Taiwan. We chat again. Mania was nice to hangout and chill. And coincidently the night was naked night, on the third floor. I didn't want to participate as it wasn't really my culture. Hahah. But I see almost all man who visited Mania were seen moving on to the third floor. At the entrance you see piles of towels and imageries of naked man in the darken floor. Sounds interesting.

I think this visit has been an eye opener, and I've learn a few things and tricks during my 5 days stay. Shopping haven, but it torchers your wallet. Nice delicacies and really friendly Thais. So all in all this is my greatest birthday present I've bought for myself.

Kudos.

It's February 17th, exactly 24 years ago I was born at Miri General Hospital. I'm not too keen in my wildest dream that I would celebrate one of my birthdays very far away from home. Currently writing this post in Silom Road, Bangkok, Thailand.

Yes, I bought an Air Asia ticket nearly 2 months back planning to celebrate this eventful day of mine here. The day I left LCCT on Thursday, I was practically not prepared at all for this trip although I had a few discussion and revision with my boyfriend of what to do during my weekend stay. So I used that as my rough guideline.

There were a few things that I had to do or visit, that is:

1. Grand Palace

2. Chatuchak

3. Babylon

4. DJ Station

5. MBK

6. Siam Square

My first step at the Bangkok International Airport, my heart was pumping mad and my mind kept on running. What? How? Where? And things like that. But I told myself to calm down, and just enjoy every minute of it. I was told how the Thai people are so friendly, and indeed they were. The every hour I'm lost in Bangkok, that moment I thanked those many Thai people I bumped and made sign language to ask for direction. One memorable event was at Chatuchak. This lady was selling satays on the street vendors, and I was looking for a toilet. I had the map but I was so lost. So I approached her, and she quickly pinched my shirt and dragged me to the toilet. I mean it was so nice and crazy too where she had to leave her food burning just to take care of my insensitivity!

The day I turn 24, I spent nearly 3000 Baht just to pamper myself. I'm a money spender, and I don't spend on things that I like but things I like to get for my family and friends. I'm not nice, but just simply me. At Chatuchak, I was planning to spend around 1000 Baht but digged in my wallet to add another 1000 Baht. I bought a new shoe, some accesories for myself. And of course the many many gifts for my love ones.

My handphone kept on ringing with the incoming messages, and many unexpected friends wished me and while some friends I hoped for did not. Whatever. I'm still happy.

When I get back to home, I would want to remember this trip really well because it was my first trip overseas where I had to do everything alone. From buying the air fare, travelling, planning and all. I think its the right sign that I'm matured and brave and bold. Of course, I'm 24 what!

Oh by the way, with Sunday and Monday to go I roughly have like 2000 Baht to count on. I'm actually running away from the budget I made earlier thanks to the innocent trip to Chatuchak! I hope I won't make many silly shopping kills again, which I am very weak at that. My destination on the list for Sunday is to walk around the malls, just window shopping! Damn. Unless if I were to spend, then Sunday night I have to make myself up and lure some ugly old white man and ask for 1500 Baht for my service! That's the desperate part! Hahah.

I've been visiting Blueboy so often the one month that I think I'm becoming obsessive with this. And going there has not really tested my dancing floor skills either as the music is really really not my type. And what kind of music does Blueboy plays again? I don't know.

I don't know how to describe this urge of mine that going to Blueboy nowadays is like a must, or at least meet some plu friends at neabry Kak Ara for casual drinks but which would follow suit entering the club again.

Just last week or so, I went in with my sauna buddy. It was kind enough of him to entertain my company as I don't really have plu friends of my age to depend on. We had dinner and walkabout at BB area until the night time crawls in our skin. We went to Blueboy as one of the earliest guest. That night I wasn't expecting much but just pure fun with my friend.

So one of the patron that night was one guy whom I met not long before, introduced as a boyfriend to a friend who was a boyfriend to my close friend. Anyway, I find him an interesting guy because he spotted some physical features that made me go weak on my knees! Aduh.

To be continued...

Just got back from Sungei Wang for a dance competition. It was the 3rd annual THop Dance Master. This time around, the few noteable crews weren't competing ie. Fundamental, Evo-I and Twister. The reason is that past champions or runners up are not allowed to compete.

But the biggest twist this time around is that these winners can participate but to a different name. Of course this bunch of group wouldn't want to trade thier household names just for the sake of winning the prize money of 2k. Or was it not?

Apparently last years winner, DT4 came back to compete but to a different name. So they started as favorites.

The 14 finalists were chosen from two qualifying rounds, and from my perspective these finalists could have been splitted again in two. The best bunch, and the losers. The best bunch are those who showed potential, or at least had an entertaining routine to perform. While those losers, were those who perasan that they could be as good as Rain in the video clip and Beyonce. Oh please.

So the result was out, my girl friends from Rogue came out champion. Second was crowd favorite Explicit and third was defending champ with the different name, Don't Touch Flame. Irony.

Rogue was 2nd runners up at last years National Hip Hop Challenge and a Top 5 Finalist at the Dance Supremacy. A new hip hop group that battles on tunes mostly from Beyonce, Destiny's Child and BEP. Anyway, Rogue consists of 4 girls from Sunway College but today has expanded thier wings to I think if not mistake 8 girls. The former leader was Sri KL's cheerleading captain Aina but since she left to UK last year, Rogue is now headed by Fara.

Hotshots for this years' National Hip Hop Challenge (open category!)

1. Fundamental (defending champ)

2. Twister (Martel Dance champ)

3. EVO-i (Dance Supremacy champ)

4. Rogue (Thop Dance Master champ)

5. Inferno (Malay Mail! Dance champ)

I met Harry last Sunday afternoon for a coffee.

I did not see him for almost two months since the Hari Raya celebration. He went back to him hometown in Brunei and when he got back, I was already involved with the musical. At the same time work was hectic for him.

I'm just happy that we still remain friends until today, despite with no strings attached or whatsoever you call it. Remember the many times I stayed over at his place, and the many nights we ended up just cuddling and hugging. No sex involved. No kissing.

You can't assume that I'm not his type first of all that leads him to not do anything on me. I demanded to know why he didn't want to have anything with me, and he said he preffered to have a slow start and whatever leads to the next one only time will decide.

I'm okay with it since I only needed a company to be with during that time.

But now, as I was seeing him at the kopitiam the other day the mutual feeling has increased by bit. He was still the usual Harry, and I was trying to look cool myself. So funny. Anyway, we talked about many things. With the 2 months lapse, we were chatting as though it was 2 years. Sincerely, talking to him made me felt easy.

I can't go back to stayover with him now, or maybe until he moves out. Because he has 2 cousins staying with him now, and he being a silly closeted gay man has close doors for me to be able to hug him again. Not for long.

He was thinking of moving out soon, and I kinda persisted him too. Not because I was being the devil, but looking things on a bigger picture he needed to move out from that dirt of Ampang where all the memories he has with his sucky ex lover. Everytime that is what I get from him, the nagging on his ex lover who still stalks him only until last week when Harry gave him a warning!

I hope Harry turns out to be better this year, although I know for sure now I can only be a nice friend to comfort his feelings and not a companion. Judas is ok.
