Smoke and mirrors  »  Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of my life
I was sitting across the desk from one of the senior bosses, B, who was in charge of one of our service lines for a teleconference. Admittedly, the discussions wasn't going very well. Okay, it was down right boring. Suddenly, B noticed something in front of me. I followed his gaze and found his eyes resting on the pen Sam bought me a few years ago.Before I could do anything, B picked up the pen and read the inscription on it, which said, "To my angel bf". Now I wasn't sure if B knew I was gay. He just ...

Glorious food  »  Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of my life
We went out last night for dinner at my favourite restaurant, Watt, to celebrate the bonuses we both got from work.We got ourselves a bottle of Verdelho and started with the same entree - scallops crumbed in sesame seeds in a wasabi sauce:Then we went onto our mains. I had a king snapper pie type thing and Sam had a duck curry:As usual, Watt didn't disappoint. We polished off every single bit of our dinner. We then went to Freestyle for their famous desserts:I had the upside down pear cake while Sam had the chocolate souffle. ...

photo friday: restricted area  »  yaniblog
I have a thing about signage... I don't know why... but I do...The Mystery of No Phone Call was solved yesterday... H-San emailed me about something else and at the end of the message asked me how the work was going... to which I replied that it wasn't because they'd never called the agency... so later on I got a call from the Ginger Ninja and it turned out that they'd just assumed that because I hadn't turned up I didn't want the job. And this was after they'd been told multiple times that they needed to call ...

retrospective  »  R*Y A N: blogging with a queer bent...
this time last year, i was two weeks into a self-imposed blog hiatus that lasted for almost a whole six months. it was a much-needed respite fuelled mainly by an uncontrollable lifestyle and the lack of creative inspirations. how times have changed!it's funny looking back to see that much of what i was concerned about back then were quite simply trifle issues, insignificant in the whole scheme of things, and yet reverberated so potently in the moment. i guess nothing affects so profoundly than what you are so blindly immersed in. perspective can be a much skewed thing.i never ...

Just a plain old "hot model" Random Hotness this week... although I have to say that these shots of Philliphe Tanner do push more than a few of my buttons...Peekaboo shorts, hoodie jacket worn with very little else... and sadly, although I know it's SO five minutes ago, the "photo stripped of all colours but one" thing... Current Mood: ...

Leave it to technology  »  Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of my life
Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself.Today is one of those very rare days when I'm completely free. By that, I mean there are no meetings, no appointments, no "official" commitments after work - yep, I'm a free man today. So there I was, sipping my coffee first thing after I got in, reading blogs as you do. Suddenly, a colleague who was all dressed up with a handbag around her shoulder walked in:M: You ready to go?Me: Go where?M: The seminar across the road.Me: You mean, the [boring topic] seminar we have both registered for?M: Yep.Me: Is ...

It seems like Spring is very much on it's way... except that it's still kinda cold, even with the sunshine. But it's starting to look Spring-like, which is good.And I took a brief trip to the Botanical Gardens on Sunday amongst other places and the place is definitely starting to look like Spring.I still haven't heard anything about the job I was supposed to be doing this week... which is just plain old rude I say. And it's not even like if one person got run over by a bus that nobody else knew about the arrangement... so, ...

If only  »  Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of my life
I have been known to say that if I somehow become filthy rich, I would still be working because I'd get bored otherwise. But the more I think about it, the more I realise I don't really need my job to keep me entertained and busy. There are plenty of things to preoccupy me if I don't need to work, including:1. Finish the three novels I have started - the longest one has 13 chapters to it but I just haven't had time to move them along.2. Do some part time volunteer counselling work for QAHC or some other ...
