Fesyen pakaian peminat-peminat Felix di Majlis Makan Malam bersama Felix bukan main lagi. Al-maklum lah ini kan malam yang ditunggu tunggu oleh mereka. Walaupun tema pakaian malam tu sekadar casual but smart pelbagai fesyen pakaian dipakai pada malam tuh. Soseh-soseh I terdengar ada yang siap sewa baju khas untuk malam tu lagi. Classy kan, hehe. Di post ini I nak komen lah pasal baju baju yang dipakai pada malam tuh, bukannya apa sajalah tak der apa lagi nak tulis mengenai malam tu kan, lagipun satu kelainan untuk review malam tuh. Furthermore, blogs peminat Felix kesemuannya cakap benda yang sama saja kan.

Pertama sekali baju peminat Felix berasal dari KB ni cukup menarik perhatian waiter-waiter hotel pada malam tuh. Baju kebaya yang dipakainya bukan main lagi, transparent bertops itam malam tuh. Dengan dandanan rambut dan mekap dari Bodyshop penampilan dia malam itu very da Era Fazira tau, ada jugalah teman sebelah meja tuh bisik-bisik, artis ker budak tuh? Terautomatic I jawab, tak der ler bang artis tempatan jak, hehe.

Pengerusi pelaksana majlis - orang yang menjayakan majlis tu indak kurang hebatnya. Dandanan rambut style terpacak cam kena kejutan elektrik aka burung merak dan touch up mekap made in the salun juga. Mekapnya memang lawa ada glitter-glitter gituh sesuai dengan props lampu kat hotel tuh. Baju kebaya itam memberi seri kepada si pemakai walaupun sibuk mempastikan perjalanan majlis malam tuh. Satu kelainan lain dari yang lain dari segi ketrampilan berbanding masa-masa lain yang kitorang selalu jumpa dia.

Kawan baik I seorang ini pulak mengenakan baju bertemakan negara matahari terbit, very the Lugu Lugu gituh sesuai dengan tema warna fesyen dunia masakini, warna pink berlatarbelakangkan bunga-bungaan membuatnya bukan main bagaya lagi, lebi-lebi lagi low cutting pattern pada kedua-dua lengan blouse tuh. Sekali pandang very da mama-mama gituh - pewitttttttttt.

MC wanita malam tuh juga tidak ketinggalan. Memang casual sesuai dengan tema majlis. Siap dengan baju cotton nipis berkeping-keping ketat cam sutera. Sekilas pandang very the Adibah Nor. Dua kali pandang pasti serupa dengan pelakon Hong Kong yang cam muka Datuk Rafidah Aziz tuh. Cuma rambutnya indak ter'set' seperti rambut kiloy yang curl curl tuh. Kalu terset memang menarik perhatian pakcik-pakcik dalam dewan tu yah.
Pasangan MC malam itu sure heboh juga. Kerana terlalu nervous, suaranya yang very the macho tuh tetiba cam suara makcik-makcik memanggil anak-anak ayam balik gituh. Tidak disangka jejaka sederhana ini mendapat perhatian gadis-gadis peminat Felix malam itu. Soseh-soseh mengatakan 4-5 org gadis trus naik hati pandang kali pertama padanya. Siap memakai kontek lensa untuk penampilan yang lebih ranggih. Dipahamkan dandanan rambut kemas dengan bedak foundation mustika ratu kepunyaan cik zura. Juga memakai eye liner untuk menyerikan bahagian mata.

Kawan baik I yang berbaju merah cam pengalas meja ini juga tidak kurangnya. Baju merah berbranded (SODA kali tuh kan) berlengan panjang memang sesuai dipakainya, cuma very the pompuan gituh, hehe. Tetap anggun dan menarik. Soseh soseh kedengaran merah itu melambangkan kekuatan, keberanian dan kuat mengiggit kut - jan mare hehe.

Akak Ros pada malam itu very the fashionable sekali, bajunya sesuai untuk function-function malam seperti gala night gituh atau fashion show dinner cam tuh. Kalau tak silap baju tuh very the $$$. I predict dia leh menang anugerah baju tercantik malam tuh tapi nasip berpihak kat akak berbaju itam tuh la pulak.

Fesyen jejaka ini, kira best friend I juga memang clean-cut dengan putungan baju lengan pendek abstrak dipadankan dengan seluar jeans biru yang labuh/faded. Dikhabarkan ada juga gadis menyukainya pada malam itu, tapi tak berani kot nak berkenalan dengannya. Maklumlah dalam chatroom nak kata awan bumi berani tapi bila dah face to face bukan main the shy gituh.

Gadis yang dimaksudkan indak lain indak bukan suka sangat makan ice krim itu. Very the beautiful pulak orangnya. First time I jumpa dia. Kalau kawan I, adibah nor dan matahari terbit tuh tak perkenalkan manalah kitorang boleh jumpa-jumpa kan. Penulis berharap agar diorang berdua berakhir sampai ke anak cucu yah.

Pertama kali jumpa jejaka KB ni, isk isk rupa rupanya very the stylo juga bajunya. Katanya dibeli dari milimewa Tuaran. Very the lady lady gituh baju warna kuning muda berzip miring tengah ke kiri baju itu. First time I nampak lelaki memakainya. Tak sangka ya orang berbadan manpan cam Arnold SusahNakEja tuh suka baju gini gini. Tapi tetap menawan, jan mare hehe.

Fesyen 70s ini rupa-rupanya masih dipakai di abad ke-21 ini. Seluar jeans bertar lilin bersinar dibawah pancaran cahaya memang ranggih dipakai oleh jejaka ini yang dipadankan denga vest berciri tradisional ini. Fesyen-fesyen seperti ini harus diketengahkan lagi dan digalakkan dikalangan para belia.

I pulak malam tuh, isk isk besa besa saja. Very the au natural, no mekap no dandanan rambut (rambut dah nak botak dah ler pendek), so kira very the original jak, hehe.

Jan mare ya, setakat penyeri untuk blog ini sahaja. Kesemua komen-komen bodoh ini cuma sekadar imaginasi penulis jak, tak der yang betul. Yang betul dan yang pasti, kesemua mereka memang anggun-anggun dan kuntrul ayu sekali. Maklumlah jalan atas carpet merah kan, dah lah kat hotel kan, dan makan pun dengan silver fork dan spoon. Mengangkat gelas pun very the sopan one, hehe. Hingga ke temu di carpet merah akan datang. Salam. xx

FAFC Dinner with Felix AF3 – A Review

Majlis ini diadakan pada 24 April 2006, 7.30 malam bertempat di Tang Dynasty Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. Majlis ini juga merupakan majlis meraikan harijadi Felix yang ke-24 pada 3 April yang lalu susulan kepada majlis Birthday Bash yang diadakan di Klang Valley pada tarikh kelahirannya.

Dipahamkan Felix tiba di hotel sekitar jam 3 petang. Selesai sahaja briefing dengan pihak penganjur Felix pergi ke salun untuk mengunting rambutnya. Selepas berehat, sekitar jam 5.15 petang temubual dilakukan oleh wakil sebuah majalah tahunan tempatan dan sesi fotografi dijalankan di bilik penginapan Felix..

Penampilan Felix pada kali ini memang ada kelainannya. Dia kelihatan lebih tan (gelap kulit la tuh) maklumlah baru balik dari India untuk pembikinan video clip untuk album kompilasi – panas kot kat India tuh kan, hehe. Juga, tubuhnya kelihatan lebih langsing (dan kurus) dari yang dulu. Dipahamkan dia terlalu sibuk dengan show dan pembikinan rakaman album sehingga lupa nak makan. Artiskannn, memang very the busy around the clock gituh, tapi makan tuh satu kemestian supaya lebih kelihatan macho next time, hehe.

MC malam itu ialah Lissa and sumpit, antara peminat setia Felix dan forummers/chatters yang popular di laman web Felix Agus Fan Club (FAFC) – promosi sikit. Tapi sumpit nervous sikit malam tuh, kali perubahan penampilan diri ada side effects kot, hehe. Lissa cam besa, very the garang u cam harimau but still very the vogue, vast and menawan..

Majlis makan itu terdelay sedikit habis YB lambat sampai. Sekitar lebih lebih jam 8 malam majlis bermula. Tapi ni besalah kan, VVIP mah.

Selepas ucapan Felix yang terpendek di dunia (ucapan yang I pernah dengar lah setakat ini), MC pun memaklumkan dewan bahawa makanan akan dihidangkan. Tapi ada delay sikit lagi, makanan tengah dipanaskan kot .. isk, hotel ini very da slow.

Aktiviti cabutan tiket bertuah diselang selikan dengan aktiviti karaoke. Beruntung yang dapat hamper terbesar itu, very the mahal uu. I duduk kat meja VIP (tanpa tiket tapi kena bayar juga), so no chan nak rebut hamper tuh. Heyyyyy .. I belum dapat door gift lagi weiii!!! .. baru ingat! Oh ya setiap yang datang dibagi door gift direct from KL I dipahamkan – yang duduk meja VVIP dapat door gift yang besar sikit, yang duduk meja besa (RM50) tentula kecil sikitkan, tak kan nak yang lebi besar!
Jeng jeng jeng .. maka Felix pun dipanggil naik ke pentas untuk persembahan lagu pertama …. Baru nak mula .. ka booommmmmm, musik terhenti silap lagu rupannya .. isk, lain bunyi lagunya la pulak. Isk, rupa-rupanya lagu happy birthday lah pulak – nyanyian si boboi budak Brunei yang lucu itu. Kek pun diusung masuk naik ke pentas … lepas boboi abis nyanyi (memang lucu butul suara si boboi tu teringat suara jin jerangkung .. hehe) Felix tiup lilin dan no one clap hands. No one clap hands, very the heran kan ….

Felix sempat menjadi MC malam itu menggantikan para MC yang kepenatan ke sana ke mari kenervousan, hehe … Felix juga melawat setiap meja untuk sesi berkenalan dan bergambar dengan peminat-peminatnya. Siok I nampak artis ni tit tut tat kedengaran bunyi kamera setiap kali Felix berjalan ke setiap meja. Glamourkannnn. Felix juga menyampaikan lagu Hari Ini dan Semlm (betul ker tajuk lagu ni?) dan bergemuruh sorakan di dewan.
Artis undangan tempatan, Betsy Michael juga turut mendendangkan sebuah lagu dusun and berduet dengan Felix untuk lagu Jan Dustai Hatiku (betul ker tajuk lagu ni?). Memang best sakan. I pun menari keanak-anakan di tempat duduk maklumlah memang genre tarian yang I minati (gelilah pulak ber’I’ ‘I’ ni kan, hehehehe). Bila Felix menyanyi lagu dangdut Semut Merah, Felix mengundang beberapa orang untuk naik ke pentas untuk menari, diorang terus pergi. I tetap maintain ayu kat tempat duduk. Not my genre of tarian ler, kalu moden memang I lantak, che wahhh …

Dalam pertimbangan akan kesibukan Felix untuk aktiviti keesokan harinya maka majlis pun bersurai pada sekitar jam 10.45 malam. Krew krew pelaksana majlis (AJK lai tuh) stay put untuk bergambar gambar dengan Felix. Kesian Felix cam dirogol jak malam tuh oleh peminat. Tapi besalah bah kan, bila lagi kan!

Sekian. Fesyen Pakaian Peminat Felix akan menyusul di post akan datang. Jumpa di sana. Banyak pictures lain akan diupload dengan meng'click' di sini.

Woman's Perspective on Man - Ugly vs Handsome

Throughout growing up I am lucky enough to have many many girlfriends around me - some are even best friends, those that I can share my problems and secrets, and those that I can talk almost anything from what happening last night on Desperate Housewife to those that I can easily attached with without sexual relationships. Understanding woman is, however, still not my cup of tea though - especially on their views on man and what nots. I do realise that this is their speciality and being a man myself, here are their views on man.

Kalau lelaki handsome pendiam
Perempuan akan cakap: woow, cool giler...
kalau lelaki tak handsome pendiam
Perempuan akan cakap: eh perasan bagus...

kalau lelaki handsome berbuat jahat
Perempuan akan kata: nobody's perfect
kalau lelaki tak handsome berbuat jahat perempuan akan cakap: memang .... muka pun macam pecah rumah!

kalau lelaki handsome menolong perempuan yg diganggu
perempuan akan cakap: wah.. machonya.. macam hero filem!
kalau lelaki tak handsome menolong perempuan yang diganggu
Perempuan akan kata: entah2 kawan dia...

kalau lelaki handsome dapat perempuan cantik
perempuan akan kata: sepadan sangat...
kalau lelaki tak handsome dapat perempuan cantik
perempuan akan kata: mesti kena bomoh perempuan tuh!

kalau lelaki handsome ditinggal kekasih
perempuan akan kata: jangan sedih, kan saya ada..
kalau lelaki tak handsome ditinggal kekasih
perempuan akan kata:...(terdiam, tapi telunjuknyameliuk-liuk dari atas ke bawah, patutlah, tengok saja luarannya)...

kalau lelaki handsome penyayang binatang
perempuan akan cakap: perasaannya halus...penuh kasih sayang
kalau lelaki tak handsome penyayang binatang
perempuan akan cakap: sesama keluarga memang harus menyayangi...

kalau lelaki handsome bawa BMW
perempuan akan cakap: matching... hebat luar dalam
kalau lelaki tak handsome bawa BMW
perempuan akan cakap: bang, bosnya mana?.

kalau lelaki handsome tak mau bergambar
perempuan akan cakap: pasti takut kalau2 gambarnya tersebar
kalau lelaki tak handsome tak mau bergambar
perempuan akan kata: tak sanggup melihat hasilnya ya?.

kalau lelaki handsome menuang air ke gelas perempuan
perempuan akan cakap:ini barulah lelaki gentlemen
kalau lelaki tak handsome menuang air ke gelas perempuan
perempuan akan cakap: naluri pembantu, memang begitu.

kalau lelaki handsome bersedih hati
perempuan akan cakap: let me be your shoulder to cry on
kalau lelaki tak handsome bersedih hati
perempuan akan kata: kuat nangis! lelaki ke bukan ni?

The Best HELL - A Malaysian Joke

I really find the joke below hilarious when I first read it. In fact, we never known how a hell look or feel like. If only the following joke is true and if I were to send to hell (hopefully not but would love to see how's life down there) I would be definitely be one in the que at the gate of the Malaysian Hell (hehe). This joke is taken with kind permission from shaynina.blogspot. Thanks Nina.

The Best HELL - A Malaysian dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks "What do they do here?" He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day."

The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on. He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.

Then he comes to the Malaysian hell and finds that there is a very long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks "What do they do here?" He is told "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Malaysian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." "But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in?" "Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Government servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the cafeteria...."

Tattoo - I Did It !!!

YES!!! Yes I did it at last. It has always been my dream to have a tattoo and finally on Tuesday nite last week I got the courage to go to the Ink Industry at Tg. Aru to have it done. Having a tattoo to me means having an art printed on my skin and that's all. Now having it done and it has been a week already I smile everytime I remembered how the whole process really tested my courage and strength to have it tattooed on my lower back.

First I got to select a design. A design I selected was called a triangle which has all the elements of feng shui consisting the wind, water, fire and earth. The wavy pattern signifies the wind as well as water while the colour red symbolises fire and the colour green/brown and black represents the earth.

When the tattoist first started it I got so scared that I almost fainted. They got me a glass of water and it took me 5 or more minutes to gain my composure before continuing the whole process. It was not really the pain that got me into the *fainting state* but the feeling of scare and frightened of the tool used to design the tattoo on the skin.

A tattoo is designed by first outlining the design on the skin. This is the painful part of the whole process as the outlining would need to be done concisely and carefully. Once this is done, filling up the design outlined earlier on with colour follow suit. This is executed untill all the outlines are filled.

The feeling of the tattooing process is synonym when you (a) accidentally hit a hot iron or 100 degree hot boiling water; (b) being sliced by a sharp knife or razor; (c) bites of thousand red ants; or (d) cane by your school teacher just that the cane used had a torn on it. My friend Oben once told me that the tattooing process (the sensation feeling) is much better than sex, but pleaselah very the untrue one!!! However, once you get used the pain in the first 10 minutes you will definitely withstand (I pretend to concentrate reading a magazine - a tattoo magazine!) the whole process (70 minutes depending on tattoo size) and before you know it, it's all done!! (Photos will be posted in a later date after my skin is properly restored to its original texture, tone and smoothness, hehe.)

The Daffodil Principle

The Daffodil Principle

Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, “Mother, you must come see the daffodils before they are over.” I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. “I will come next Tuesday,” I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third call.

Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I drove there. When I finally walked into Carolyn’s house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren, I said, “Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see bad enough to drive another inch!”

My daughter smiled calmly and said, “We drive in this all the time, Mother." "Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears, and then I'm heading for home!" I assured her. "I was hoping you’d take me over to the garage to pick up my car just a few blocks away. I’ll drive. I’m used to this.” After several minutes, I had to ask, “Where are we going? This isn’t the way to the garage!” Carolyn ginned, “We’re going to my garage by way of the daffodils.”

"Carolyn, please turn around, "I said sternly. "It's all right, Mother, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."

After about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, "DAFFODIL GARDEN".

We got out of the car and each took a child’s hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, we turned a corner and I looked up and gasped. Before me, lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak and slopes.

The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns — great ribbons and swaths of deep orange, white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, saffron, and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted as a group so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five acres of flowers. "But who has done this?" I asked Carolyn.

"It's just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives on the property. That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio, we saw a poster. “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline:

The first answer was a simple one. “50,000 bulbs!” it read.

The second answer was, “One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and very little brain.”

The third answer was, “Began in 1958.”

There it was: THE DAFFODIL PRINCIPLE. For me, that moment was a life changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, more than 35years before, had begun, one bulb at a time, to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top. Just planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. She had created something of ineffable magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.

The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration. That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time — often just one baby-step at a time — and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.

“It makes me sad in a way,” I admitted to Carolyn. “What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal 35 years ago and had worked away at it ‘one bulb at a time’ through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!” My daughter summed up the message in her direct way. “Start tomorrow,” she said.

It’s pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. To make learning a lesson a celebration instead of a cause for regret, simply ask, “How can I put this to use today?”

The Little Things




Do you ever came across there's a time in your life that things do not really go as we wish or want them to go. Late for class and suddenly your socks are out of sight, or you are so damn busy in the office one morning and suddenly there's a call from the Post Office which require you to collect a parcel from Poslaju urgently and you found out that it was another offer from a credit card company which you don't need at all and in fact you already possessed 3 credit cards from the same bank.

Are all these little things happening for a reason? Are all these little little things that cause a little havoc in our life are necessary? And why all these little things seem to happen at a wrong time and place when we don't really need them at that point of time? All these little things although seem rather annoying us and delaying our busy life and schedule are in fact could be a blessing in disguise whether one realising it or not. The following story tells it all. It touches me deeply. Happy Reading folks!

The Little Things

After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories of why these people were alive...... and all the
stories were just: The 'L I T T L E' things .

1. As you might know, the head of the company got in late that day because his son started kindergarden.
2. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
3. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
4. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
5. One of them missed his bus.
6. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time change.
7. One's car wouldn't start.
8. One went back to answer the telephone.
9. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
10. One couldn't get a taxi.
11. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where I'm supposed to be at this very moment.

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; someone is watching over you. May that someone continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.

So, if you have a friend or anyone that seem to be in a hurry all the time, ask him -"Why the hurry ... late for your accident?" (I'm just joking!).

The Important Things in Life

"The Important Things in Life"

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson,or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be - a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger - but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, hey are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can,not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make anything you wish of your life. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. And if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

Are You Gay?

Gambar hiasan semata-mata

IT'S TIME FOR YOUR ANNUAL "AM I GAY?" SELF-EXAMINATION.

1. If you are over thirty and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys andhave spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet.

2. If you have a cat, you are a Flaaaaming homo. A cat is like a dog, but gay - it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its nails, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog... "Killer, come here! I said get your ass over here, Killer!" Now think about how you call a cat... "Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!" Jeeezus, you're fit to be framed, you're so gay.

3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any suchnonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks on bar-b-que ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, crawfish guts, pickled pigs feet, or tits. Anything else and you are in training to suck ElDicko and undeniably a fag.

4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you crave a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his bathroom; he defecates and urinates where he pleases.

5. If you drink decaf coffee with skim milk, you like a high hard one in the poop chute. Coffee is to be hard strong, black, and full aroma. A straight man will never be heard ordering a "Decaf Cafe Latte with Skim" and he will never, ever know what artificial sweetener tastes hike. If you've had NutraSweet in your mouth, you've had a man there, too.

6. If you know more than six names of colors or four different types of dessert, you might as well be handing out free passes to your ass. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap as well as all the names of all the players in the Major league, NFL, NHL, college ball, PGA and NASCAR. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a "fressier" is you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than denim, you are faggadocious.

7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow-ass driver or to cut the punk off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, hold his beer, or play with his honey in the passenger seat.

8. If you enjoy romantic comedies or French films, mon-frere, vous le Gay, oui? The only time it is acceptable to watch one of those is with a woman who knows how to reward her man. Watching any of the above films by yourself or with another man is likely to result in SHC (spontaneous homosexual combustion), which is what happens to fags when they flame out too.

Kalimaran Queen 2006

Were your beauty light,
It would be as the blazing sun,
And my eyes would not withstand to gaze,
At your transfigured face ...
Were your piety and might,
Measurable in terms of height,
It would reach the noon sun,
Firm and upright ...

(Extracted from chants of the Bobohizan)
