The one with my fear factor experience

Its 8:27am in Dubai now and it really bores me out as there’s nothing much to do. My batchmates did suggest that I try the Safari Tour kind of thing as everyone has been raving abt it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t very well… having bad sore throat and maybe a slight fever… I really hate being sick.

Recently, I decided to do something silly to myself, something different, something interesting, and something to change my image alittle. What can I do, I was thinking for a while… Maybe I should try something more edgy I thought. I always wanted to get a tattoo but I don’t know what kind of design and where I should put it and therefore, after several agonizing minutes of brainstorming, I decided to scrap the idea and move on to something else.

Then another option immerged… Maybe I should pierce again. But where? So another few distressing seconds of brewing, I decided to pierce my nipple… (Ouch!)

So one regular Sunday morning, a friend of mine, Daryl, decided to make a trip down to Far East Plaza to do it… I was feeling jittery throughout the journey wondering if I have made a stupid decision. But what kept flashing in my mind was whether the whole process was painful and long.

At last, we reached our destination and soon I found myself searching for the lucky man to do the deed. I knew that it wouldn’t come cheap and that it would usually occur inside a tattoo parlor. So I popped into the first parlor I saw and proposed my idea, but he turned me down, hence I decided to try the next one a couple of shops away. This time, their excuse of not doing it was because their “piercer man” is not ard. I thot maybe this is not meant to be. Not willing to give up, I tried one last parlor and to my surprise, the owner asked me to come back 20mins later as the “piercer man” needs to prepare his “tools”. I was so excited and paid $65 for it immediately. I eagerly anticipate the moment to arrival.

20mins later, its time…

The piercer then started to converse with me to ease the tension and while I told him my fears of injections and pain… he assured me he will be “gentle”. I decided not to see the whole process fearing that I might jerk accidentally and there goes my left nipple… Imagine that, the one nipple gay guy… how unsexy is that!

I don’t really know what happened but he used something to pin my nipple outward and with one deep breath…… ARGH!!!! OMG!!! The pain was excruciating yet I refuse to give up as the process wasn’t finished yet. He asked for another deep breathe and…… ARGH!!! What the fuck was that!!!

Done!! He said.

For the next 6 weeks… there would be no swimming, no seafood, no exercising, nothing of that sort… But Damn!!! It looked SEXY MAN!!! Hahaha….

The one with dreams coming true... :)

The heading says it all isnt all. But not everyone is that lucky though. I guess I am one of them.

I was so excited and overjoyed when I realised I was rostered to LA where I could fulfill my childhood dream... DISNEYLAND!!! I always love animations and cartoon characters esp from several of the Disney Cartoon movies. My fav would be "Ariel" from "The Little Mermaid"... Don't laugh!!! I realise it is really girlish to enjoy such movies but I always fell in love with their music and the happy endings... The movie happened to be my first Disney Cartoon and I fell in love with the rest ever since.




Another great news was that, I have a really dear friend, Tristan, who will be bringing me ard LA for my 2 days stay. I really appreciate and thank him for his time and effort as going thru DisneyLand and all its rides wasnt an easy task. We really spend the whole day in the theme park.



I got to be honest, I was alittle disappted as I didnt got to experience the March of the characters and also the fireworks at nite. Seems that that particular day, there wasnt a show. But the memorable moments were the specially designed rides which captured every theme of the village that we visited. I guess the village I enjoyed most would be Mickey's every own, "Toontown"... Its where the Mickey and family lives. It was so beautifully designed and made.



Finally, the experience wouldnt be complete without some souvenirs and I must say, every damn thing in the park is so damn expensive... but I guess its once in a lifetime thing, so ppl just buy and buy.


It was indeed an experience that I would nv forget. I guess this job do has its perks sometime...
