1st UK Blog: The good, the bad, and the Ugly


Hahaha, like the picture I have placed for this blog? Malaysia has officially said ‘NO’ to yellow fever… I just hope all the other countries will follow in its footsteps.

Well, it’s done. I am finally in UK. I have left Australia, travelled to HK and Malaysia for 4 weeks, and am now officially in London. As the title suggested I am going to go through a few things in order of the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good is that my pre-UK Asia trip was fantastic! I met with a lot of my relos, had some fun with some old friends, and made some great new friends. Also, I proceed to enlarge my already obese frame by eating myself to the brink of death, including indulging on just about the highest-rated durian you can find (yes, that’s rite, I DO like durian, whatcha gonna do about it?).

The bad is that due to my extreme overeating, I have put on 2 kilograms in just 1 month. Hahaha, just kidding… I have put on 4 kilograms. And it doesn’t help that I am inevitably going to receive my fair share of ‘Heathrow injection’. Oh well, such is life.

Now the ugly. I went clubbing with some friends in Penang, and we came upon a club called the ‘Slippery Senoritas’ (yes, I know. The name already sounds pretty seedy). Upon entering the club, I immediately spotted several things that stuck me as wrong with the acceptable level of dress code. Shorts, sandals, sneakers, sunglasses, and even those silly croc-sandals that are now so popular in Australia. To top it off, they had a guest star live performer on stage, which turned out to be a chinese cross-dresser with a huge pink afro. He/she then proceed to sing all these female pop songs, completely in falsetto. Obvious to say, this was the ugliest part of my otherwise very pleasant Malaysia trip.

Anywayz, I am going to sign off now, but make sure to stay tune for more of my famous Europe adventures (I appear to already have a possible trip to Paris in April)!
