Suzhou Courtyard
Bedtime Stories Oct 23 09Sitting reading poetry in a courtyard under the glow of moonlight with a cup of green tea. Bamboo leaves being rustled in the late evening breeze. Just short of the classical robes of a Ming Dynasty scholar, I certainly would not have looked out of place in a historical Chinese drama.If not for the iPod at my side playing jazz by Buble. Unfortunately I don't have any suitable guzheng music downloaded! ALthough this would have been perfect. What can I say? The Sung Dynasty poets have it right. Even now, there's a heaven on earth and that's in Suzhou. 上有天堂下有苏杭. Even second time around, it hasn't lost any of its quaint charms. Full story...

Bridge of Silence and Sighs
Bedtime Stories less than a day agoCertainly no need to travel all the way to Venice to admire the infamous Bridge of Sighs. After all I have my very own Dirge of Sighs over here - chanted by our chief mourner Nervous Nancy.
Secretary for Hire
Bedtime Stories 3 days agoDidn't really hit me until today that I might be in charge one day. Certainly makes it sound as if it's some uncertain date in the far misty future - rather than by the end of the month.
How I Became a Mullah
Bedtime Stories 4 days agoLooked at myself in the mirror today and still couldn't find the resemblance. Seriously. Didn't I get mistaken for a porn-obsessed sexual perv just a month back? When did I suddenly turn into a turbanned and mustachioed religious cleric?
Then again it was dark, I'd grown a beard and I was eating kosher food.
Don't Stand So Close
Bedtime Stories 6 days agoVery few things make me squeamish. Okay, maybe torn hands dangling by the ligaments. And possibly tapeworms.
Gay Man Scorned
Bedtime Stories Nov 19 09Jealousy. It's an ugly, selfish emotion that has crept up on the best of us. Even knightly Arthur himself wasn't spared the sly, green-eyed demon when Lancelot made the moves on his queen.
Old Porn Becomes New again
Bedtime Stories Nov 18 09Just today, I stumbled across an old porn film that I first watched years - and years back. An incestuous lil gay porn that involved three virile, highly adventuresome ( and shockingly inventive ) brothers.
That Dirty Lil Scorpio
Bedtime Stories Nov 16 09Seems even the fates are conspiring against us. Feel terribly victimized with our already tattered reputations slandered and besmirched by those who don't know better.
Take A Slice of Pork
Bedtime Stories Nov 14 09With an education partly based on the misguided teachings of Islamic-inclined tutors, there has been much argument on the feasibility of consuming pork.
My Ten-Dollar Weekend
Bedtime Stories Nov 12 09Start cracking those books, kids. Cutting coupons to buy groceries simply isn't fun. If there's a valid argument for studying smart to get into an economically viable course such as geology ( forget about medicine which is purely altruistic! ), it's that being poor actually sucks.
Once Upon an Ex-Gay
Bedtime Stories Nov 10 09Seriously. Forget about saving the whale. Forget about saving the orang-utan. Forget about staying away from shark's fin soup.
