As I sit with wet boxers

As I sit with wet boxers, I ponder a comment someone passed recently, ‘Whats with your whole new ‘anything goes’ attitude’

Upon some self reflection (which involves a complicated series of mirrors angled at the exact square root of 1 bjillion, that eventually allows me to see into my own mind) , I’ve psychoanalyzed myself and realized I’ve reverted to my NS self circa 1999-2001.

Upon further reflection and a hurried visit to Ikea for more mirrors, the reason why I’m actually going clubbing more, socializing like I’m dying to hit 1 bjillion on Friendster is coz of the sense of emancipation everytime I finish work or the ever wonderful weekend begins . Lets clarify ladylike ladies and gentle gents, its not the rigour of the 9-5, it’s the idea that I have these NS liabilities that hold me hostage in a office. I call it periodic bouts of ‘I need to do something fun or I’ll curl up and die – bipolar nervosa policia’

Part of the ‘why scared?’, ‘gung ho’ …I wanna OD on funfunfun attitude led to this wet boxers scenario. Taking a dip in a private pool at 3 am, all alone which has led me to forming the following list. Enjoy the list, need to get out of these boxers -shrinkage has set in , not a nice sensation

10 things to in a pool at 3 am , all alone ( note : without female company)

10) Practise Neil Armstrong’s zero gravity bunny jumps

9) Pretend I know kungfu and practice my elegantly flowing art under water

8) Renact the Muhd Ali poster and try to run under water

7) Float on my back with ears in the water to recreate that ‘in the womb’ feeling

6) Pretend I’m less than a metre tall and cling to the sides , slowly going around the
swimming pool by sliding my hands along the edges

5) Watching ripples on the pool surface and repeatedly going ‘oooooooh aaaaaaaaah’

4) Attempt the butterfly stroke for a lap and halfway changing to dog paddling

3) Imagine scenarios and things to say if the security guard catches me: my fave ‘I’m a
mermaid and I have to keep wet when away from my undersea kingdom’

2) Replay in my mind, how I could charade ‘everybody has aids’ better (I’m not sore ,
what gives you that idea?)

1) Imagine what it would be like to have female company so I would not have to do the
other stupid 9 things
