The Week in Numbers

10 Mojitos- downed at Cuba Libre after an impromptu mid-week dinner & drinks with the Gang at work. M. had 2, turned a bright beet red and proceeded to pat CP A. fondly while resting his head on his palm and giving her bambi eyes. CP. A to her credit, was blissfully oblivious, as usual. The rest of us were trying very hard to stop laughing into our Mojitos.

9 old/new files - that exploded and promise to make life very busy for the next two months or so.

8 coffee breaks - caffeine is getting quite as enjoyable as chocolate. I say quite, because it hasn't yet. But that's the thing about vices isn't it? Starts out slow then you can't stop. Not quite looking forward to be a CCC (Chain Coffee Consumer) if not least for the sizeable amount of moola that needs to be expanded to fuel the habit. Though if the resident office caffeine junkies are to be believed, coffee has a slimming effect (amongst other things - like that incessant need to pee). So we'll see how that one goes.

7 mins - From the time I set up (after years of inertia) a personal profile replete with a semi nude pic on a popular gay personals portal to the first message I received. "Hey you look hot. Wanna fuck?" But it came from a bear so no thank you. Thankfully, the other pickings from the subsequent influx of messages were better.

6 consecutive days - Of gyming and attending the various classes with fancy names like body pump, body jam, RPM and cardiac arrest inducing routines. Pumping irons vigorously while performing squats is about as enjoyable as, what was that phrase? 'having a straw stuffed up your nostril' I believe, while working out but you feel damn good after that. Sore but satisfied. Not a gym bunny yet. But we'll see how it goes.

5 times - I had to download Rihanna's Disturbia from various sources just to get the complete version. But it was so fucking worth it. This woman's music so consistently hot and she oozes so much attitude and sex appeal. If I were straight, she'd probably be the focal point of a number of masturbatory fantasies. Right now, I just have to settle for hotties like Takeshi Kaneshiro or that nicely buffed lifeguard in Japan Pictures: Ra Kai Shin Bi Dan who moans like there's no tomorrow.

4 guys - on the potentially fuckable/ let's fuck list out of the Let's meet to fuck list. Finally deciding to make a profile must be the second best New Year Resolution this year, after the gonna gym cuz till I'm fat fit and flab fab resolution.

3 sets - of Basketball games the Gang at work and I played till M. suddenly groaned out loud, clutched his side and collapsed on the court wheezing and gasping like a struck pig before clawing his way to the side of the basketball court. I laughed till my stomach ached. That was handsdown the most hilarious moment of the week, well worth the pain of having to drag myself from bed at the unearthly hour of 6.45am on a Saturday morning.

2 hours - spent agonising over my stupidity not to strike up a conversation with the cute guy in red who attended the same Body attack class at Planet Fitness One Raffles Quay on friday evening. We both kept glancing at each other, which lasted well into the changing room before a final electrifying stare as I got into the lift first. Was tempted to stop the lift but there were already a couple of girls in the lift. Well, there's always next Friday. grins.

1 hour - left to Reunion dinner and the annual pig out session (perhaps less so this time round... for the sake of looking flab fab. But then again just slightly less so. haha.)

Happy Chinese New Year to those who still celebrate it. I leave you with Rihanna's bad ass and absolutely hot Disturbia. Shake that body baby.

Disturbia by Rihanna




What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now

No more gas, in the rig, can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort

Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise

Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia

Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they talking to me
Disconnecting on calls, the phone don't even ring
I gotta get out or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort, oh

It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind it can control you
I feel like a monster, oh

Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise

Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia, disturbia

Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can't go-o-o
I think I'm gonna ah, ah, ah, ah

Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise

Disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
