Indulgence: Reliving My Teens
Happy 2009 and Merry Belated Christmas!
Sorry, I’ve been missing in action the past few weeks. I took a trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to visit my high school friends.
It was like reliving my teenaged years for a week. We watched movies, played pool, ate at Chilli’s and by the roadside, played at the arcade, followed by a whole night of Street Fighter – and then still found the energy to party until the next morning during New Years’ Eve.
I somehow lost this playful side when I went college, and more so when I started working full-time. Life became more about excelling and fulfilling ambitions. And partying in Toronto as a poor college student and in Singapore as a yuppie just isn’t the same. One was just a drunk fest on cheap booze. The other is too upscale and pretentious to have any real fun.
I miss the days in Malaysia, where we would book the VIP rooms at the hippest clubs, order unlimited bottles of Jack Daniels, Black Label and Chivas Regal and just chill, socialize and danced all night. Good times.
But alas, the week had to end. And now I’m back to the life of a yuppie in a fast-paced society. Not much time to rest – let alone party. Nevertheless, this week has allowed me to re-discover a side of myself that I thought I lost long ago:
I still love my whisky and I still love my fun – and it wouldn’t hurt to indulge in it once a while.
How did you spend your new year? What was your teenaged years like?

A Moment of Psychosis
I was at Tim Horton’s yesterday with my boyfriend. As I sat down with my lovely ice cappuccino, the lady from the table behind stared into my eyes with such ferocious intensity.
Such viciousness. Such coldness. Such a mental disturbance (hers, not mine).
When I turned away, she resumed her sweet talking with her boyfriend. I have no idea why she stared at me like that but all I could think about for the next 30 seconds were images of her husband and children devoured by her psychotic moments. Torn to shreds, eaten alive; frightened to death.
Then from the corner of my eye I looked at her husband smiling happily to the sweetness of his wife. I could only shake my head in pity.
Site Downdate
Nanyate?! was down for quite a bit last night. Sorry to my European/Asian/late-night surfing American visitors for not being able to access the site. The database screwed up when my hosting company tried to reboot the server. But they were honest and quick about it. Good job!
Site Update
I added a few more pages, including a list of animes I’ve watched or are currently watching. I’ve also added two new songs; one Korean by The Note titled “What Women Want”, and the other Chinese, by Khalil Fong titled “Is it enough?” (roughly translated).
