Creeping civilization

I've learnt never to underestimate the long arm of technology. Not only has the old coffeeshop upgraded itself ( yeah, I recalled that it does have an internet connection ), it also has broadband now! Fucking amazing. I was stunned when my cousin revealed to me that her spanking new computer not only has broadband - it has that fabulous wi-fi thingy - the mechanism which still eludes my techno-himbo brain. The idea that we have all these waves or whatcammacallit floating in the air gives me the heebie-jeebies.

So right now as I'm munching through seemingly neverending mandarin oranges and kumquats - and listening to my cousins deal with a thousand orders for black coffee with sugar, I have the bliss of knowing that an internet connection lies not too far away. Sure, the computer is squashed between a huge jar of sugar and multiple tottering trays of soft drink bottles but at least I can send e-mail.

Hmmm.. is it me or is it my oversexed imagination but are the guys in Penang looking more lusciously lovely than ever? I swear last night I almost leapt over and planted a big wet one on the sexy DVD seller - especially after he gave me a saucy wink as he planted my bootlegged discs into the package. Although I wasn't too sure whether my sudden lust was due to the hot salesman - or the hotter DVDs I scored.

Must be the spicy curry mee I ate!

*gasp!*

Why din u say that u were coming up to Penang!!! I just arrived today myself!

It would be fantastic if you could join PLUpenang's (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/plupenang) karaoke session this Tuesday. I know you only sing to kill, but death is a reasonable tradeoff for meeting you!

Please! Think of this as fulfilling an ardent fan's request! ^_^

Well, you know where to go to sign up...

I just discovered the bliss of wi-fi a few days ago, and man, it blew my mind!

I've been to Penang and the only hot guys I saw there were my Norwegian pals. Maybe it's not the season? Nonetheless, it's a lovely place to unwind and get a tan.

Happy Chinese New Year, Paul! Wishing you the best of it!

Musang said...

happy chinese new year to you paul!!! (did i wished you before? whatever.)

it is not the mee kari, penang guys are turning hotter each year. everytime we went to my aunt's, we would have a jalan jalan around the city and poof! cute guys are everywhere.

go and buy some dvds from the same guy again... this time, you smile. and give him your card.

I was forgetting it was the family coffee shop. Darn, what useful relatives you have - coffee, broadband and plasma screen all laid on! Don't suppose they'd appreciate you playing those DVDs in the shop, though. :oP

Hmmm....must be a darn good DVD then to deserve a wink eh? Anyway, as ash said, wink back and who knows you'll score one for yourself...

Never knew that Penang guys were hotties....the last time I was there, I don't think I saw any cute ones. Must be a new place in Penang then?

Happy CNY and have more curry mee plus the vodka oranges!

Hey Paul...yeah, technology can be both a wonderful and often times "heebie jeebie" inducing thing. I'm not sure how I feel about all those waves out there either. Hmmmmmm...

As for the wink from the DVD seller, well...sounds like a fun encounter. So, did you wink back? :)

Petie said...

Isn't Orange juice + Vodka = Screwdriver?

I recall reading about from a comic book of how men like to use this cocktail to get girls drunk because it's easy to drink and easy to get drunk from (ti's Vodka afterall)

But then I don't drink... And I suppose your ISO should have a lot more knowledge about cocktails than I do :P

I will have a family gathering dinner tomorrow :) Since my grandpa would not come up from Phuket this year we will have having a dinner at a seafood restuarant instead. It should be good :)

So will you be handing out the red envelope this year?

Zemien said...

Penang guys? Cute?

Where have you been? The Land of the Amazon Women?

Not to diss my own fellow brothers, but in all the cities I've been to, Singapore boasts one of the highest cute boy occurences. It seems that everywhere I turn I bump into a hottie!

But back home.... er... well, let's just say we could use a makeover.

savante said...

I bought the normal kind of DVDs, pakcik.

Happy new year to you too, Ash. And I do wink at fellas - and try to avoid them when the punches start coming.

Zemien, you must be looking in all the wrong places :)

What hot Norwegian friends, Mark! Introduce them!

Musang, was thining of going again but thinking of the jams were deterrence enough.

Ru, it's not porn :O Same to ian.. but i did get Brokeback Mountain though.

Isn't technology amazing, Rob!

Omigod! A screwdriver, Pete! I never saw that coming! No red packets since I'm not married.

Borkeback Mountain could have caused the wink! ;)

MrBunnyBan said...

Brokeback mountain alright. After you snuggle with BBB while watching it, can I borrow it? :)

Musang said...

brokeback mountain is the reason the guy winked at you lah. damn he got you right there. hehehe.

and to think that the damn movie tak sampai kat uptown lagi, very frustrating.

and it is the pirated one.

can't they distribute pirated copies of movies evenly across malaysia?

Happy Chinese New Year to you my dear Paul!!! Year of the Doggy Style hehehehe!!! Well he winked at you(the hot salesman I mean) since you are hot as well I believe. Well, I have one reason to go to Malaysia just to meet you!!! Mwuahhhhh!!!

Kenji said...

Lol I didn't know penang guys are cute... well there's some really hot exceptional! Like Daniel Lee! Haha! I'm such a crazy guy when it come to hot cute guys! ;_;

Anyway... did u get lots of ang pow yet!? Got the usual scary question yet?

Haha have a wonderful New Year!

savante said...

Think you might be right, sue :)

If I actually snuggled with BBB, it would take a few days before I left the bed, Daniel.

Musang, you sure it's not out there in KL? Go take a look! Maybe you need to wink at the pirates :)

Wished I had guys who winked at me cause I'm hot but I doubt it, Chas. Usually it's dust in their eyes.

Already got my share of angpows and the questions too! Daniel Lee hot?!?! :O Never!
