To those who still didn’t know, I’m working for THE SCORE magazine now (like us on Facebook, ok?).

I previously worked part-time for them but now I have taken up a position as a full-time writer. And for the first time since started working two years ago, I actually enjoy working.

Of course, not implying that I hate my previous jobs, but it’s just that I have more fun now. Sure, it wasn’t that fun to work with deadlines every month, but I’m perfectly compensated with the chances I get to meet all sorts of celebrities which ordinary people are willing to die to have it.

Trick or treat! My company organized a Halloween party for our guests at Zouk KL a few weeks ago – or if you’re being anal, last year.

And like any Halloween party, everyone had to wear a costume for the party.

Even the employees (me included) had to come in a costume.

So to avoid getting fired for coming in plain clothes in the spirit of Halloween, I got an awesome costume for the party. Guess what costume I got?

As usual, when you’re taking a long-distance flight, the airline usually provides in-flight meal. When I was flying to Hainan, it’s no different. Though the choice of food they had was stupid.

When the flight attendant who was serving me asked if I wanted it, I was like…

Bitch please, I’m on my way to Hainan now to eat the authentic Hainanese chicken rice. Which I may or may not have said it.

When I was in Hainan, I noticed a peculiar habit of every guy on the island.

And when I say every guy on the island, I mean every guy on the island.

It’s that they like to show off their tummy.

In case you didn’t know, I went to Hainan earlier this year to conduct a ritual for my late grandparents. I didn’t really want to go, but as the eldest paternal grandson, I was forced to go.

The reason why I didn’t want to go was because I cannot speak Mandarin, let alone Hainanese. Even before I went there I already foresaw I was going to have a difficult time communicating with the locals there.

Since I was unable to escape from the inevitable gloom, I tried to find someone to teach me how to speak Hainanese, which wasn’t easy at all since people who speak Hainanese nowadays are almost like the Bigfoot – you cannot freaking find them in real life.

Luckily for me, I did find one in the end.

My ex-colleague, Jaime, happens to be a half-Hainanese like me and know how to speak the language. She managed to pass me some knowledge before I went to Hainan.
