June Is For Change

June is going to be a first of many sorts for me and hopefully it heralds for changes to come - largely positive I hope because fate seems less cruel to me these days.

Fot starts, there is the Sg Blog Awards and I'm actually one of the finalist. That says alot because I sense a paradigm shift in conservatism in Singapore because for a blog like mine - crude, explicit but funny nonetheless - to be recognised in a mainstream media, it shows the maturing of society and also the due credit to literary merits, ME.

That's a long way from 3 years back when I was supposed to do something for Channel News Asia and they wanted me to tone down on my style and it culminated in, "Singapore is not ready for him".

I would rally you to vote for me simply because it's time for you to give back, after years of tickling you with tales of decadence, inebriation and disaster dates, it's time for you to show your appreciation. That includes all of you who have bought me beers or given me lap dances.

It's increasingly hard for me to keep up with new stories and even more so this month because in 7 hours, I will be boarding a flight to New York for the month and last I heard, data charges cost an arm and leg and a Ferrari steering wheel.

New York, ahh yes, the Big Apple, the home of Carrie, of high fashion, endless shopping, great food, hopefully cheap alcohol and the promise land of the vicarious TV addicts. So how will Butterfly, your self destructive, tequila shooting, toilet hugging, free puking, party addict fit into Manhattan's finest?

I have no idea, but I'm sure there will be stories about it...

Well, the only thing worse than getting drunk and thrown out the club there, is getting mugged while sober at a back alley. Can't be that bad I suppose..
