My week has been...

It's been a week since my last post! The week has passed by so quickly..Actually I am quite glad that it did.

Nothing really exciting has happened really.

I've been going to the gym on a more regular basis and my housemates have started to joke about it whenever they saw me leaving for the gym.

During the week, I visited the community library just 200 meters away from home. Becoming a member is free and one is allowed to borrow up to 40 items.

The collection there was surprisingly exhaustive though it's just a community library. I tried looking up for books that I had bought/read recently (Gaysia by Benjamin Law, Exposure by Michael Woodford) and they had them.

I haven't been reading a lot (fictional books I mean) and it's been a really long time since I stepped into a library looking for a book to read for pleasure. I didn't know where to start. There were so many racks and shelves and with only the spines of the books displayed, I found it really hard to look for something that I might like.

I had to tilt my head so that my vision was 90 degree clockwise so that I could at least see the titles and the authors of the books.

As I'm not a big consumer of fictional books, I only know a few famous authors like John Grisham, J.K.Rowling, Enid Blyton, etc. I went to one of the computers there and searched for John Grisham's books and finally I borrowed The Litigators. Still reading it...

When it comes to dates, I have a few that I can 'pursue' but I am trying not to force it. Also, I know it's not quite right and probably unfair to stereotype, but I really have a thing (probably more) to say about Chinese guys (Chinese nationals/ Migrants from China).

(After all this is my blog/my space I can write whatever I want right?)

Firstly, their english. No matter how many years they have been living here, their Chinese accent is still so strong (very Cina and it's a big turnoff actually).

Secondly, they are very Not romantic. As a result of this, there is always zero chemistry and the atmosphere is always rather awkward. To call them friends, we didn't have that many common topics and I alwayssss had to think of something to say to make it less awkward. To call them potential lovers, there simply wasn't any chemistry at all. They might have tried to impress, but always did so in ways that showcased their wealth? but nothing about being a gentleman, a lover. And most importantly, without the chemistry, even biceps of the size of my quads didn't have much effect on me.

Having said that, I'm still very much into my fellow asian men. And to make it clear, ethnicity/nationality is not an issue for me. It's not what's on your birth certificate or passport that attracts me, but you.

Recently, there's this couple that kinda invited me to have fun with them (not an explicit invitation yet but i can sense that the invitation can come just anytime now). They are very good looking, with great bodies, etc. But I am kinda afraid that they will send me the official invitation.

Should I say no? I don't want to have sex and then start worrying about getting infected with STDs. And I know that after that hour or so of fun, I will have to go home alone, unsatisfied emotionally, while they can carry on with their lives as usual and still have the company of each other's.

I had a really really bad dinner just now. Went to a new Chinese restaurant nearby (not really new just that I had never bought anything there) and ordered my favourite sweet and sour pork. It tasted so badly, it's the worst sweet and sour pork I have ever had :( And i paid almost $15 for it (with rice).

  1. Yay! A new post! It's nice reading another blogger's life. I like searching for books in a library and I don't mind to tilt my head to read the titles because the whole process is like searching for a treasure you don't know what you'll find, and you have finally found one that captures your interest, that feeling is just blissfully happy, don't you think so? :)

    1. It's not easy! If one is superficial enough, like me, he can always quickly glanced through the tens of thousands of thumbnails on jackd or grindr by screening for huge pecs or six pack abs. But when it comes to books, how to be superficial and judge them by their covers? Haha

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
