Lets Go Fishing

You've probably heard the Chinese proverb, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime."

So who doesn’t want to learn how to fish?

Recently, it seems that there is an uprising of fishermen around in the Salsa Scene. Sometimes it gets so bad that you can see fishermen fighting for one fish. C’mon dudes, there are tons of fishes in the sea, why waste a Garoupa for an Ikan Billis. Prepare yourself for a whale or a shark, assuming if you are more adventurous.

The point is there are quite a few kinds of fishermen around.





Fisherman #1 – The Man with the Fishing Rod

Ideally, such man uses his baits and catches one fish at a time. Not too much, but one fish at a time. He sits patiently and waits for his catch to come. Once his good fortune sinks in, he catches a fish. It could be any species of fish. He tastes the fish, probably not very appropriate to his liking; he spits it away and continues fishing.





Fisherman #2 – The Man with the Fishing Net

The perfect characteristics of a greedy man. Nothing can be ever enough. Such fishermen usually have a very perverted look and he is nowhere near the category of a common man. Very desperate and once swore to the Dragon King that he will hump catch every fish in the sea. By using a net, such fisherman usually has a very wide variety of catch. Young fish, old fish, fat fish, skinny fish, Chinese fish, Malay fish, Indian fish, Ang Moh fish. As the saying goes in his theory, “As long as there is fish, it will be a good fish.”





Fisherman #3 – The Hardworking Man who gets the Fish

He waits patiently for his fish. He only wants to catch one fish. The sun has set and the moon has set but still he waits. He waits for the Golden Pearl of the sea. He gets the freshest bait he could find and he sacrifices all his time to sit by the sea and watches over his Golden Pearl. He finally caught his fish. He is happy. And I hope he stays happy. At least for now.



Fisherman #4 – The Lucky Man who gets the Fish

Such fishermen do not fish. They just happen to sit by the lake and fishes starts jumping from nowhere and offer themselves. They take their pick to find the fattest juiciest fish and then they walk away. Bastards. Freaking stealing the livelihood of the normal fishermen. These bastards are so lucky sometimes that even if they pee in the lake, the fishes would also hallucinate to think that that was bait. The fishes started jumping out if the lake to get their bait. Hope such bastards get a shark the next time.




Fisherman #5 – The Man who is not sought out to be a Fisherman

These are the men who are always catching boots, used condoms, transformers toys from the sea. Quite a loser sometimes that they cannot visualize that they are not suited to be a fisherman. They do not have the technique, the skills, the good baits, and the patience. They start to fish because all their friends are fishermen. They should change their occupation and realize that maybe they have better talents in another way such as becoming an eyebrow plucker.

My First JJ Performance

My Rueda Competition with Video and Pictures

My Rueda Competition

Oh dear I lost again. Nope, I did not lose. I got second.

Oh dear, I didn’t win again.

A very big thank you to everyone who supported me and the team of Los Lomantics.

We are very grateful.

I have come a long way and I have joined 3 competitions under my name now. I have participated in Salsa, Bachata and Rueda competitions and I self proclaim that I am still not a versatile dancer.

Next stop. Exotic, here I come.

I have learnt a lot from my team members.

I have learnt a lot from Boon Cheong who have taught me tons of tricks and I enjoy sharing the sparks of ideas with him.

I have learnt a lot from Daphne dear who is always so cheerful and chirpy and she is someone who can ease all tension.

I have learnt a lot from Eileen who taught me how to extinguish a fire and how to cook a nice plate of bee hoon.

All these have become a part of me and a part that will live with me for the rest of my life.

I have lost the competition but I am glad that at least I put up a performance that everyone had enjoyed.

I love the aftermath of the handshake, the eyes of satisfaction, the smile of the viewers and the kiss from the ang mohs. I love the fame, the audience, the fans, the love, the support, the intensity, the tension, the urgency to pee.

I thank again and again each day I have friends like you guys who came down to support. Without you, there would be no point of me living as a performer.

I won friends and love and tons of other things. I won 2 pairs of bras from fans as souvenirs that night and I got Calvin Klein underwear from a secret admirer.

It’s about time now that I concentrate on my next performance and till then, the Virgin is going to rest.

Watch me on 7th July at Ngee Ann City. Live from Singapore.
