Tioman and all that...

First of all, sorry to my regualr readers (whoever you might be) for not updating my blog for the last month - I've been quite busy, when i'm not doing my thesis (yes, I'm smart), i'm either drunk, watching Greys anatomy or masturbating - no preference of order...just joking about the masturbating part;)

2 weekends ago, i ventured over the causeway point (what divides Singapore and malaysia) to reach my destination Tioman Islands. Its a wonder the disparity between Singapore and Johor Bahru (the border town of Malaysia). As we crossed the bridge everything seemed to change. Being used to a controlled clean society, its a welcoming to enter the dirty chaos of Malaysia - i realised i was close to home. Even the straits ,which divided Singapore and malaysia, seemed to get more poluted as we crossed the bridge. I swear, at the centre i saw a plastic bag and a dead cat floating...

Much of the 3 hour drive to the ferry point of Mersing i slept - so cant describe the experience - the brief moments i opened my eyes i saw what it seemed the guy sitting in front of me was getting a blow job from his China girlfriend - but i'll come to that later... At mersing (reminded me of one of those ghost towns you see in a western), we were stranded for 1 hour till our ferry arrived. a very muslim communinty, so glad we were there only for a hour.

The ferry ride was 90 min - and as i sat on the upper deck smoking a cigarette - i wondered what the hell i'm doing in university... I was thinkning what my life would be if i was a captain of a ferry boat. As the wind blew over my hair, i'll be at the wheel smoking a cigar - directing my first mate to pour me a whisky (a drunk ferry captain is what i'd be). In the evenings, i'd go down to the bar - chat up some local talents.. thats the life!!!

Tioman is everything the forums said it would be - boring!!! Ok, the booze was cheap - but how much can 1 man drink. 3 days, nights thats around 48 hours minus around 16 hours of sleep leaves 32 hours. By the way - i didnt drink water the whole time i was in tioman - beer is cheaper!! Therefore, for the whole of sunday - if you take away the time i spent snorkeling - i had a beer in my hand... by Sunday evening i gave binge drinking a whole new meaning... by Monday morning (the day we left), my body gave up - i took medicine, but i soon vormitted that out - slept the whole journey back to singapore (4pm) and slept till 11am the next day. Besides the drinking Tioman is good to bring your girlfriend/mistress/escort for a quiet weekend (most of the Indian or white guys were accompanied by china/thai/phillipino women.. wonder why?).. no one would disturb you. There was no one for me to chat up.. well there were 3 chubby girls (referred as Charlie's Angels) who sat behind me on the bus who couldnt keep their mouths shut for more than 10min. I think they should restrict the sales of Bikinis.. for the love of mankind - some girls should realise that bikinis are not for them.

For my readers - Please wish me a Very Happy Birthday this Friday (6th oct) - i think my friends are only my friends cos the booze i serve on my bdays... it will be nice to be wished by someone who will not be coming for the free drinks...
