Looks like shit,...but tastes like heaven :) (Spice of India, Atrium Food Court)

If you're looking for the challenge of eating Real authentic spicy food (and not the watered-down versions), look no further than Spice of India at the Atrium Food Court (located on Elliott St, near Smith and Caughey's).

I know it looks yuck

- like a bad case of diarrhoea

If you wonder why I'd even allow myself to go near that plate of gooey stuff, it's because the stall smelled really good - I could hardy resist the bewitching aroma of good Indian curry.

That's partly because Natasha tempted me with some chicken & dhal curry at lunch. The next day, I just had to have something spicy. When we have our next reunion, we'll probably coax our Wellingtonian wine connoisseur friend Michele into trying the vegetarian curries there. It will be fun to see her snort continuously...muahahahaha :)))

World's biggest breasts main attraction at "Boobs on Bikes 09" Parade, Queen St

Topless porn stars and strippers rode down Auckland's Queen Street on 23 Sept 2009 in the seventh annual Boobs on Bikes parade.

(Gosh, are these boobs real??)

Boobs on Bikes is a mostly annual parade of semi-nude pornstars riding on motorcycles through large New Zealand cities (in the past, Christchurch, Palmerston North and most prominently Auckland). It is organized by the somewhat locally famous pornographer Steve Crow, to advertise his activities and the Erotica Expo, an adults-only pornography trade exhibition.

Larger-than-life adult entertainer Chelsea Charms was one of the main attractions of the parade.
Ms Charms is reported to have the biggest breasts in the world. Her website says they are size 153XXX and collectively weigh just under 24kg.

Who is Samantha Lim a.k.a. Datin Sam?;)

In the past few months, I have been bombarded with endless questions via Facebook about who Sam  is...so I guess it is easier to explain via a single blog posting :)

So, who's Samantha Lim?

Sam's my good friend & Fashion Guru
I was quite a nerd back then - totally clueless about fashion. Had it not been because Sam had given me an image overhaul 8 years ago, I'd have been wearing some pretty weird clothes to school - like, Ching Dynasty embroidered female underwear, matched with blue jeans jacket & black colour platfrom shoes *cringe* (serious) - except that they didn't look quite as fashionable as the pic below

(It does sound a bit over the top. But those who knew me since my college days would be able to confirm that I wasn't exaggerating about my past fashion crimes)

Pic: Traditional Ching Dynasty underwear

Sam  and I got to know each other back in our college days @ Taylor's

Our first conversation was in the toilet ;p hehe

Sam, Janice, Nicole & I were quite inseparable in our college days & we still meet up from time to time to relive the sweet moments that we had in school ;) - and we're planning to start a new  blog together pretty soon :))

- where we're going to share every single detail about our lives

(leisure, food, family, favourite activities, career advice, and of course good sex tips;p)

 

How did she get the name "Datin Sam"? ;)

Well, our good friend Janice aptly named her Datin due to her idyllic lifestyle - month-long vacations in Hong Kong, Japan, Europe, US, Korea etc etc, twice weekly manicure/pedicure sessions in Klang Valley, Sunway & Damansara every time she's back in Malaysia

 

What is "Datin"? What is "Datuk"?
The Malay language has a complex system of titles and honorifics, which are still used extensively in Malaysia and Brunei. Singapore, whose Malay royalty was abolished by the British colonial government in 1891, has adopted civic titles for its leaders.

Datuk is a federal title which has been conferred since 1965. It is limited to recipients of Panglima Jasa Negara (PJN), of which there may be up to 200 living at any one time, and Panglima Setia Diraja (PSD), of which there may be up to 200 living at any one time. The PJN and PSD rank 9th and 10th respectively in the rank of federal awards.


The wife of a federal Datuk is a Datin.

Lady Gaga's Mickey Mouse pants :)

Lady Gaga's so entertaining :)
Yes, I'm way past the age of pop fandom, but I can't help but like her unusual sense of fashion (which sometimes crack me up) - the "transparent bubbles costume", yellow colour Mickey Mouse hot pants... (in her pseudo-film noir "Papparazzi" MTV)

My Mum  used to have a similar-looking pyjama

Lady Gaga's not a typical singer

not a typical songwriter

She's very upbeat - you can probably think of her as the "Salvador Dali" of the music industry

She studied Arts, and applied them  very well in her work (lyrics, music, costumes)

- she's the daughter of a wealthy Internet entrepreneur who decided to be independent & earned her own living by working as a song-writer/singer/stripper at NYC clubs - where she and her good pal Lady Starlight came up with some pretty good Revue Shows

Black colour lips

When I first came across the MTV at McDonald's, I couldn't quite fathom why she'd have the bizzare "wheelchair" scenes, but after having watched it on YouTube, I finally understood the story behind the MTV.

The video began with some classic 1950s-60s film-noir montages...

 

To summarize, her boyfriend pushed her down from the balcony. She was hospitalised, but being a strong-willed & resillient person, she practised her dances even when she's wheelchair bound - and when she recovered, she took revenge on her bf - and was eventually arrested by the police

 

 

 

This is the "revenge" scene, where she wore the funny looking Mickey Mouse hot pants :)

 

Another picture of the Mickey Mouse costume...

A wheelchair-bound Lady Gaga practising her dance routine with a very "multicultural" group of dancers

What I like about the "Papparazzi" MTV is that it's very "motivational", in that it encourages us to "not give up easily"

- ie. , if  Lady Gaga can bounce back from being an invalid (due to hard work and determination), we can do the same too

 

 

The beauty of female anatomy

Had a highly memorable after-work voyeuristic session at Showgirls ;p
and yes, Kiwi girls are much more beautiful than what I saw in photos :)

 (Image source: AllPosters)

Unfortunately, we're not allowed to take photos inside the strip club.
So, I can only describe this wonderful experience in words... ;)

Entrance is free for girls if you're there "early" - say, at about 9pm
The club is open at about 8/ 8.30pm.
You have to be aged 18 above to enter a strip club

Do EAT before you enter a strip club. They don't serve popcorns :(
No nachos, peanuts, potato crips, kebab, burgers or anything else to munch on. Just drinks...
The drinks are expensive too!
But it's a worthwhile experience:)
The dancers are absolutely beautiful:) - not all of them are Kiwi girls. Some are Europeans, some are Russians.

My favourites are the classic blonde/blue eye beauties...and yes, the girls do have nice, soft pink colour nipples ;) smooth cream-coloured skin.

& yes,... girls are allowed to touch the dancers;) hehe
but you have to tip them using special "Showgirls dollars" which you obtain from the bar.
I touched two girls, a Kiwi blondie (the  tanned, beach girl type with big boobs) and a dark-haired Hungarian beauty (Please don't tell my Dad;p)

I was sitting in the front row. The Hungarian girl danced seductively at the metal pole, and then came up to me took off her pink-colour fluorescent leotard.
I blushed ;p hehe

My co-workers were so mischievous. They made me put some "Showgirls Dollar" on the girl's boobs.

She squeezed her boobs, kissed me *blush blush blush* and said "thank you" coyly - in her exotic accent.
I was spellbound.
Before I knew it, I stammered and muttered something like, "You - I like you -.. is good - the dance" *blush*
(Ermm, don't ask me why I was nervous ;p... To be honest, I don't know why. After all, she's a girl, I'm a girl. She has boobs, I have boobs too. and I've done bra shopping with my friends so many times...it's not my first time seeing a girl naked, up-close)

I asked, 'Where are you from?"
She said, "Hungary"
I thought she's Egyptian - she looks a bit like the actress in Cleopatra (TV series) - Leonor Varela

Nudity in documentary about Paganism ;) (yeah, it's shown on national tv)

The sight of naked women and men dancing around on national tv is something that's totally alien to me...

 

It's a highly "academic" and "educational" documentary about Paganism ;p

but I felt terribly unladylike watching it because it was quite akin to enjoying hardcore porn or visiting the White House 

You see, I grew up in Asia, where something innocent like this would be considered as being in the 18SX category:-

  

(Image source: http://www.redstaplerchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/baywatch.jpg)

I spent my teenage years hoping to see Pamela Anderson naked in the "censored-but-labelled-as-18-SX" Baywatch series (but my wish never came true...)

So, imagine my surprise seeing more than 6 naked men & women all at once! *gulp*

It was just too much for my faint heart

(Yeah, rite! You're just saying so cuz you know your Mum & Dad are reading your blog)

In some traditions of Wicca, rituals may be held in the nude, also referred to as "skyclad".

Being skyclad is not sexual in nature. Of those who practice skyclad, many say that it helps bring them closer to the Divine, because there is literally nothing between them and the Gods. In other traditions, a person may be skyclad only during certain ceremonies, such as an initiation rite.
