I don't get up late all that often since I'm usually required to be at work by 8 at the latest. It's a drag but I've gotten used to getting up early in the morning - and I actually work best in the morning ( after my usual java/caffeine infusion that I miss desperately but I'm trying to cut down ).
So to find me sitting in a coffee shop - drinking a caffe mocha, no less! - at this hour is nothing short of a miracle. Not to mention I'm actually typing this amongst some of the frou frou pretentious computer whiz guys seriously pondering their own laptops. The WAVE lan thingamajig still boggles my mind ( all these information just floating around in the air!? Like bubble-bytes? ) but I'm glad to note that it works beautifully.
Today, I'm actually on an enforced leave since there are extra recruits in the department and I'm happy enough to laze around doing absolutely nothing. The computer whiz guys around me are meticulously studying their screens, no doubt thinking of their next techno miracle while I'm sitting there literally flabbergasted by the fact that we can actually get email through the air like magic. Truthfully I actually blend in with the techno-geeks - although I know absolutely zilch about anything and everything. I already have the prerequisite bad hair and the nondescript looks. The only thing that actually makes me stand out is my shocking pink shirt and tie :) Nothing screams flaming fag quite like a pink shirt.
And of course my shocking non-knowledge when it comes to computers. Damn, I need a hot techie boyfriend.

i dont think wearing a pink shirt and a tie screams fag. iv been wearing pink for quite some time now and most of the compliments i get come from women... though i have had some "proposals" from men. hmmm. i guess wearing a tight fitted button down lycra shirt is out of the question. :)
ps. just have to say ur entries never fails to put a smile on my face. especially efficacious on shitty days. keep it up!
I only wear pink color once...n so happen its a Baju Melayu.
Hard to say, but I think wearing a pink shirt do tell the outsider who you are actually as st8 guy rarely wear the color though...
i think guys wearing pink are pretty ok. It's the tone of the pink that matters.
Slightly dull pink is alright but neon-burn-my-eyes pink is a absolute no-no.
I'm never going to look at another guy in a pink shirt the same again. I'll constantly wonder if he's gay or not. haha... for all you know, the guy could be you, Paul. who knows? the chances could be there ;P
Wanna try wearing pink but finding the right shade is tough. I heard Oprah said pink complements ANY skin tones. Basically, we all try to put on colours that make us look good, right. Hehe !!
With squido on this one. Neon/bright pink is a BIG N-O !!!!
pink shirts are sexy!!
i finally bought some pink stuff last year... after many years living in the dark!!
i'm a technobimbo too, paul
When there is a day off and especially on a Monday - that's blissful! Easy start followed by coffee and hanging out at a cafe! just wish I could do that myself! A day of reflection and to smell the roses...... and did I say roses? Well - goes well with your pink shirt! A good pick up trick plus with your laptop! Who knows you could be one of the techno-himbos as well.
Oh by the way, caffeine helps burnt fat - well stick to the black coffee and you'll see the difference!
Most of my girl friends say that they like their men in pink. I guess it's their way of saying that they want their men to be fully confident about their sexuality, and negating the cliche talk that only gay men wear pink. I got my very first pink (light) shirt last Christmas and I like it. :) Hope you enjoyed your day-off! I always wish of getting one or two, and that might happen sometime very soon! *crosses fingers
WiFi is awesome and it can go through your body. here and there without your permission or whatever. How naughty is that?
And wearing pink is nothing wrong. I wear "You must not be straight" pink occasionaly.
Why on earth are you wearing a tie on your day off for?!
And btw darling it's not a "coffee shop" it's called a "bistro" nowadays. *shakes head*
And your timing is most inopportune always!
hmm.. well, i'd say you're definitely in the right medium to snag yourself a techie boyfriend!
Even thought I don't own any, I do like pink shirts. Let's just say I'm waiting for the right one :-p
A sexy man in a beautiful pink shirt under a dark, well-cut suit - shit, even typing that turns me on.
Bet the computer whiz guys were all donwloading porn anonymously via the cafe link, hence their fixation on their um, laptops. ;oP
Pink doesn't denote gay here, either. Hell, some of our straight colleagues are even wearing shirts of lilac or mauve! Nothing is sacred any more.
Pink is the color to go!
I second wingedman's question - why wear a shirt and tie on your day off?
And did you mean you were wearing a pink shirt and a pink tie???
IT doesn't scream fag? Odd, always thought no straight man gets into a pink shirt - unless it's some kinda celebrity. And I doubt they could pull off a lycra shirt even, designdoc :) Thanks for the comments. Where do you work!
Baju Melayu doesn't count, pakcik! :)
squido, I don't do dull pink. I do daring pink - though not neon burning pink yet.
gable, look at pink shirts in Malacca - and it's possibly me.
Pink does make me look good, ahmad. Surely canard and ca va would back me up on this.
Ian, I'm trying to cut down on the coffee!
Mark, I think straight guys in a pink shirt are HOT! Add that to a well-cut suit as jay says and... Sigh!
Can you imagine I don't even know what WiFi stands for, shigeki!
The tie and shirt was for a visit to collect some stuff at my teaching hospital, Will and Wee shiong. And I know.. I keep missing ya!
And weeshiong, it's really a dark pink tie on a light pink shirt.
I was looking around for a techie boy friend but none looked interesting to me jjd! Where do you find men!
Downloading porn :O Ru, I am so gonna look at them again!
Paul
