The Danique & Tess Fortunate Misadventures

it's funny how when you decide to go for a drink with a friend, you get the only smoking table available next to two complete strangers, and you end up having an all night conversation with them over topics ranging from john howard to porno, as well as a greasy-carbo-laden supper to wrap up that chanced meeting.

that was what exactly happened to porcs and me when we decided to go for a drink at harry's bar in the village after the dinner hosted by colin and roy.

danique and tess, on a holiday in singapore from brissy (aka brisbane) were right next to our table and we started talking. we covered the following topics (as far as my memory served me well):

1. drought in brissy
2. john howard the ludicrous
3. porno
4. dishwashing machines
5. laundry machines
6. cabs/taxis/public transportation
7. the singapore night safari
8. the almost naked borneo dude in the singapore night safari
9. speculations that porcs and i are lovers and/or now former lovers
10. repudiating speculations listed in article 9.
11. if a gay pride/parade must be allowed, then a straight pride/parade must be allowed too, extending to categories like "sluts", "people with 3rd nipple", etc.
12. danique & tess should open a coffee bean n tea leaves franchise in brissy
13. danique & tess should open an ala cafe del mar beach bar in brissy's beach front
14. gay man drinking pints of guinness draught (yours truly)
15. gawd... there's more but i cannot remember...mebbe you girls can list on the posting page whatever i may have missed out...grin

we had to do the touristy thingy before porcs and i dragged them both for the traditional "after-drinks-greasy-supper" at the corner coffee shop - get some shots!



then porcs and i brought danique and tess for some real greasy supper of gastronomical and artery-clogging proportion.

they had no idea what was coming their way...


chicken murtabak, fried bee hoon noodles, fried kway teow, barbecued chicken wings, iced tea with condensed milk.... *burp*


and we parted around 3am. i walked back home thinking "that was nice... i could do a foody-lonely-planet thingy for bagpackers like danique & tess".

as fate would have it, i bumped into danique & tess again at the same place the following night when i was buying supper to accompany my "stay-home-HBO-cable-night".

they had chicken murtabak stuffed up their faces again. me too.

i believe danique & tess are in the plane on their way back to brissy as i am writing this blog entry right now. safe trip back home girls! it was a pleasure meeting you girls.

cheers!
