It started with late night discussions with Treespotter, although I don’t remember how we came up with the idea because usually we talk about politics, poverty, or world peace.

(Old) Men's Preference?

The weather has been glorious since I landed back here two weeks a go. This afternoon, for the first time, I only carried my trench coat – in case the temperature dropped, but it didn’t – and had my see through top and jeans. It felt like I was in a tropical country; it was [...]

Men Are From Mars

Postscript 24/8/08: This thread has caused a stir a little bit. Even though I didn’t name names, those who circulate in the same crowd as me could easily guess who I was talking about. In order to maintain a peace in the real world, I decide to take this post down. You can read it [...]

Belated Apology from The Ass-Pincher

About four years a go, Stuart and Huib celebrated their joined birthday by throwing a BBQ party at Bugil’s bar. I think it was either Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and there were about 50 people turned up to stuff their faces with sausages, burgers and beers. Most of them were people we hung out with, [...]
