Skin ball

If you don’t know yet, I can be quite a curious person with some strange ideas. One day, I happened to be inspired by Ji Gong — in particular the scenes where he rubs his skin and produces a giant skin ball that he claims to be a pill with magical powers.

I wanted to find out what was the largest skin ball I could make. On the first day, I did the “skin exfoliation” on myself and got a small ball of black skin. I then stored this in a small container so I could continue my experiment the next day.

However, the next day, I found that it was not possible to increase the size of the ball because the natural oils and moisture that were in the skin ball had already evaporated, thus making it dry and rather difficult to assimilate new skin balls into it. I stopped the experiment on the second day…

“What I like to have right now…”

“Is for all you fat, ugly out-of-shape Singaporeans keep the noise down while I take my robe off, and show you what simply Ravishing means… Hit the music!”

That’s paraphrasing what RRR (Ravishing Rick Rude) would say whenever he steps into the wrestling ring. He was a WWF (back then it was still known as WWF) superstar back when I was in Primary School, and his constant run-ins with The Ultimate Warrior always was a talking point with other guy friends.

Wonder what happened to him?

Primary School Party

Every working day takes me past this place called Wollerton Park. It triggers a memory of a party that these 2 Indonesian girls (Isabella and Imelda) organised while I was in Primary School.

Think the party is mostly a haze now, but I can remember these things:
1. I was somehow forced to dance
2. Dekun did a slide across the floor while dancing and crashed into a girl
3. Johnny Mak was dressed in some spiffy threads

ICEE

This is one of those childhood things that I missed. I remember when I was a kid and my family often went to Tah Chung at Queenstown. There was a supermarket at the ground floor which sold ICEE as well. Mum and Dad usually bought me and my sister one cup each. It was really cool to have coloured tongues after drinking it.

Somehow it disappeared off the Singapore market and it was replaced by Mr Frostee from Seven-Eleven, but it is not the same because it didn’t trigger any memories.

Esh and I were ecstatic to find ICEE in San Francisco, so we couldn’t resist buying one from a Mrs Field’s booth.
