Fat Burger here I come
I thought my wildest, craziest party days were over and behind me. But last weekend… all I know is that people covet private parties because anything goes.
**Ok. The burlesque party… kinda goes like this…
- For the finale, our choreographer got sequined nipple tassels and jumped on the bed for 12 seconds… a la the madonna-esque Britney for her upcoming tour “Circus”
Soon after the burlesque show on saturday, I was ushered into a cab driving to Wanchai and into the 30th floor penthouse where a private party was held.
Whatever happened at that party… stayed at the party.
But I’ll leave it with a note, I had a blast and I didn’t do anything I wouldn’t do (and there’s a lot I DIDN’T do.)
************
Despite a random boy’s protest, I went home at 8am and crashed in my own bed. When I woke up at 3:30pm, I had the braincells of a dim 3 year-old. My phone beeped with a text message,
“Hey, don’t forget we’re watching Slumdog Millionaire in an hour. Meet you in IFC. Love you! xxx”
On my cab ride to IFC, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of hollowness. As though my entire system was pumping cold water, gauging all the meanings out of my own existence. I couldn’t escape the yearning of a real boyfriend, one love… someone to be my sunshine for me to hold and cherish on a chilly March Sunday. Someone to tell me what to do in order to cheer up.
***********
Sunday: Saw “Slumdog Millionaire”. I can see why “Slumdog Millionaire” won so many awards - it was absolutely incredible - incredible cinematography (from action to breath-taking wideshot Indian landscape), dazzling cultural details (visual colors and imageries), and astounding emotional resonance… it is powerful, entertaining, and an amazing tale of the modern times.
Monday: saw Jason Mraz concert with a dozen of my friends. Nothing like watching his light hearted, airy, catchy, and freshly self-realized pop tunes on stage with great friends.
I’m going to take it easy for a little while. Catch up on some work, and some great blogs. See you in cyberspace real soon.

p.s. This month, I’m going to start meeting friends at parks, have lunches, go swimming, indoor rock-climbing, scuba-diving, play my music, sing wherever people would let me, work on my teaching business, go to museums and amusement parks…
And have a fat burger today for lunch.

Yes slumdog is good. Worthy of Best Picture??? and as they say a new uptake on Dickens’ Oliver Twist . Anyway, off to see Watchmen on Fri. I’ll email you and let you know if it is as good as the novel.

The fast action scenes plus wide angle lens mixing with the play on colors and indian landscape? For sure!
I’m really looking forward to seeing “Watchmen”. But I’ll be catching “Confessions of a shopaholic” first. Let me know what you think!

OMG! Living vicariously through you, girlfriend! Every time I read your posts, I sort of miss those days!
Never been to a burlesque show, but took my good guy pal out for his bachelor party. Crazy! Oh, so many moons ago…

I kind of miss those days, too. But I’m not interested in living it at my advanced age (43). Such a fun and wild partying life is best left to youngsters like yourself. Then when you suddenly find yourself 43, happily married, with a beautiful child or two, you can enjoy both that reality, and the memories of the fun you are having now…flirting, staying out ’till 8, making the (tough?) decision to sleep alone…

I’m not a youngster anymore. I’m partying with people who remind me that I’m not that young… but anyway, I wasn’t planning on partying like that. It just kinda happened and I was having a good time. That’s the best times, isn’t it?
And no. It wasn’t a tough decision to go home and sleep alone. I just wasn’t that into him.

I keep seeing references to Slumdog Millionaire as I travel the world wide web. I really should look into that movie.

Oh I know - I personally believe the hype is for real.

Oh, Jason Mraz, totally jealous.
I could relate to some of your hollow feelings too. Rough, eh?
[Reply]
Yeah - I think it’s time for me to put up my party hats… but I’m so good at it!!!!
