I Lack Grace.

Wednesday, November 15, 2006

I am a clumsy oaf.

Went out for dinner with Manda (for some reason I kept on typing Mandy and had to erase that, like five times), Sharm and Karen at Food Foundry and THANK GOD they were showing Amazing Race Asia because I haven't watched the first ep, and I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world.

It is effing funny. The production is surprisingly awesome and just like the US version, thank God. The fact that they started off in Malaysia, and you see curious Malaysians staring, and weird cabbies is even funnier. They didn't really have sound there, so we had to watch the show with subtitles courtesy of AXN which SUCKS.

One contestant after paying a taxi driver:
Rip-off!
Subtitles: Pencekik darah!

WTF?

Thank God we have two pretty good Malaysian teams or else we'd all be embarassed. They really seem like they can go far, so good on them. The Singaporean girls seem okay, and the Indonesian brothers are so damn funny. That team with the guy who's afraid of heights, deep water and freaking public toilets? Please don't last another week. Seriously.
Buff dude from Hong Kong with a singlet seven times smaller? Please. Screw up again next week and go home. Either than, or get a bigger singlet. You know, I wonder what the locals in Thailand and HK think about having expatriates representing their country.

Anyway, left soon after the show, and a few minutes of 'The Making of Casino Royale' where we had the torture of seeing Daniel Craig in tight baby blue swimming trunks (I mean, seriously. Metrosexuality and all that, but James Bond in skin tight baby blue trunks? What happened to black?), and made our way to McDs for ice-cream. Went to the park near Siokkwan's house, better known as Sahara to all PBSM marchers, where we spent many an awful day under the hot afternoon sun; to enjoy the icecreams.

Now this park, is below road level. Meaning, we have to step down into the park using logs and stones near the edge.

In flip-flops and not even heels, being the incredibly graceful and poised creature that I am, I stepped off a log and
right into this hole which...didn't look like a hole. Blah. My ankle sorta landed in an awkward position and it was so bloody painful at first. The pain kinda subsided after awhile, thank God. Typically, the first thing that ran through my mind was 'Fuck, I hope I didn't sprain my ankle'. Only, uhh, I kinda kept that in, because there were aunties going home from line-dancing class, and well, I shouldn't surprise them with my foul mouth.

Hung out at the park for about an hour. Karen tried to steal this dog which she thought was a stray, and in that case, it wouldn't have been 'steal', but 'take', but the dog actually belonged to some dude standing at the other side of the field which we weren't aware of at the beginning, so it would have been 'steal'. Heh.

Thank God my ankle doesn't look like the size of Columbia in the morning. It actually didn't swell, but it still kinda hurts.

Let's work on being graceful the next time round.

Quote of the day:

*Guy appears on TV screen*
Sharm: (rather loudly) Sean Connery!
*Name appears under guy - Michael something, producer of something something*

*Sitting on the bench right after falling, Amanda next to me*
Manda: At least you didn't drop your ice-cream weih.

=D!
