Nasser posted this in Facebook recently....
"With the recent craze on Freezes worldwide - I feel that perhaps it's time to move on from the usual freeze to something different. Like musicals. In public. Out of nowhere. I'd definitely join. :P"
So maybe Nasser can sing this in public. :P
If You Were Gay - Avenue Q (Robert Lopez & Jeff Marx)
ROD:
Aah, an afternoon alone with
My favorite book, "Broadway
Musicals of the 1940s."
No roommate to bother me.
How could it get any better than this?
NICKY:
Oh,hi Rod!
ROD:
Hi Nicky.
NICKY:
Hey Rod, you'll never
Guess what happened to
Me on the subway this morning.
This guy was smiling at me and talking to me
ROD:
That's very interesting.
NICKY:
He was being real friendly,
And I think he was coming on to me.
I think he might've thought I was gay!
ROD:
Ahem, so, uh, why are you telling me this?
Why should I care?
I don't care.
What did you have for lunch today?
NICKY:
Oh, you don't have to get
All defensive about it, Rod...
ROD:
I'm NOT getting defensive!
What do I care about some gay guy you met, okay?
I'm trying to read.
NICKY:
Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Rod.
I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.
ROD:
I don't want to talk about it,
Nicky! This conversation is over!!!
NICKY:
Yeah, but Rod...
ROD:
OVER!!!
NICKY:
Well, okay, but just so you know —
IF YOU WERE GAY
THAT'D BE OKAY.
I MEAN 'CAUSE, HEY,
I'D LIKE YOU ANYWAY.
BECAUSE YOU SEE,
IF IT WERE ME,
I WOULD FEEL FREE
TO SAY THAT I WAS GAY
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)
ROD:
Nicky, please!
I am trying to read....
What?!
NICKY:
IF YOU WERE QUEER
ROD:
Ah, Nicky!
NICKY:
I'D STILL BE HERE,
ROD:
Nicky, I'm trying to read this book.
NICKY:
YEAR AFTER YEAR
ROD:
Nicky!
NICKY:
BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAR
TO ME,
ROD:
Argh!
NICKY:
AND I KNOW THAT YOU
ROD:
What?
NICKY:
WOULD ACCEPT ME TOO,
ROD:
I would?
NICKY:
IF I TOLD YOU TODAY,
"HEY! GUESS WHAT,
I'M GAY!"
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)
I'M HAPPY
JUST BEING WITH YOU.
ROD:
High Button Shoes, Pal Joey...
NICKY:
SO WHAT SHOULD IT
MATTER TO ME
WHAT YOU DO IN BED
WITH GUYS?
ROD:
Nicky, that's GROSS!
NICKY:
No it's not!
IF YOU WERE GAY
I'D SHOUT HOORAY!
ROD:
I am not listening!
NICKY:
AND HERE I'D STAY,
ROD:
La la la la la!
NICKY:
BUT I WOULDN'T GET
IN YOUR WAY.
ROD:
Aaaah!
NICKY:
YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
TO ALWAYS BE
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY,
TO TELL YOU IT'S OKAY,
YOU WERE JUST BORN
THAT WAY,
AND, AS THEY SAY,
IT'S IN YOUR DNA,
YOU'RE GAY!
ROD:
BUT I'M NOT GAY!
NICKY:
If you were gay.
ROD:
Argh!

If You Were Gay
Drifting
*Friday, 25th April 2008*
Last week, I took one day off on Friday and went back to hometown to see my parents.
I should be feeling relaxed (no work for 3 days). But I'm bored actually. The only good things I found at home were everyone's healthy, mom's cooking and Asian Food Channel. So I text-ed my friends.
"Hi guys and girls, I'm back in Ipoh. Any plan tonight? Wanna go for karaoke?"
It has been the longest time since my last trip to karaoke after I shifted to KL.
The karaoke joint in Ipoh can't be compared to those in KL. No LCD TV, small room. But the good thing is - cheap. RM34.50 per pax for 6 hours + 2 fruit platters, 4 jugs of drinks, 2 tidbits and 4 bottles of sparkling juice (it doesn't make sense, I know but I don't care much).
Vincent's voice improved a lot and he obviously been following most of the latest released tracks. Marisa, after gave birth to her first daughter in January, haven't been to any karaoke session but still good at it. My ex... well, he just sat there and do nothing.
Day two, met up with Defiant and La FagHag for foodcrawl. The most interesting day of the weekend. We practically teasing and commenting on every lalas we saw in Ipoh Parade. Fun.
But Ipoh is slowly drifting further from me.
No more catching up with my gay ex-schoolmate.
No more meeting up with the guys I knew.
No idea where are the new eateries located.
No more places to hang out for me. Old Town Kopitiam again? No, thanks.
Or maybe it's just me.

I'm totally engrossed with this after back from Ipoh...
The Comment That Makes Me Cry
*Thursday, 17th April 2008*
A blogger friend of mine went for company trip to Egypt last week and extended her trip till next week. So, in the meantime, I became her "guest blogger". I basically just need to login using her account, publish the posts she had arranged based on date and moderate the comments.
One night, I was reading the comments her readers sent in, when I came across one with the sentence "Do not post this...". Apparently, it was from her sister.
I didn't mean to spy on other people's stuff but in order for me to know whether the comment is appropriate to be published or not, I need to read it, correct?
"I remember dad loves to hold mom's hand or sometimes put his arm over mom's shoulder. He was a loving man. I wonder what is dad up to now. Really miss the old chap very much. Every time I read your post about dad, I cried..."
*The actual comment was differ a little from the above. I hope she's not angry with me for putting this up.
I don't know about you, but for me, being a son, I hardly miss my family. Unlike my sister (or probably most of the daughters), she will call home to chat with mom, update her on recent happenings at college. If mom's busy at the moment, she'll leave message and ask mom to return her call.
Being gay, it's unlikely we will have children of our own but in case I wanna have an adopted child in the future, I might consider to get a girl.
I will be away from tomorrow. Going back to see my parents. :)
And I just realised that Mother's Day and Father's Day are around the corner.
Have a nice weekend.
*I wanna watch My Father! Anyone got the DVD?

Kindness Still Exists
*Wednesday, 16th April 2008*
Something happened in front of me last night.
The light bulb in the bathroom died 2 mornings ago so me decided to head over to Leisure Mall to get a replacement and also for dinner as well.
Was in McD, hungrily attacking my McChicken (note to self: must get LARGE set next time) when a Chinese mid-aged woman came in with a walking stick and started to beg for money. It seems that none of the patrons were sympathetic to her though.
After a while, she sat down at a table where two patrons just left (Malaysian style; they don't clear the table after finished eating) and start eating/drinking from the leftovers.
A Malay girl (I assumed it's a girl) who happened to be the staff there saw her and went over to clear the trays and trash, and left the woman. She continue to sit there and staring into blank-ness for a while.
Me decided to buy her a meal. Just before I could take out my wallet, the staff came back with a burger and drink and placed them in front of the woman. Instantly, her face brighten up, smile and thank the girl repeatedly (with both palms did like praying) and wallop her meal in gusto.
I smiled. I think I'm touched.
But it left me ponder a while. Did the girl just do a good deed, or it's McD?
