Aquarium



Spending my 31st birthday in the hotel room, trying hard to imagine where the camera shot is going to have me inside the picture.

It seems every male visitor in KL is having a good time. On the streets near the hotel, there are aways girls standing around, waiting to be picked up. You just need to be careful because sometimes those are lady boys (they can be identified by deep voice and masculine facial figure, however, they are extremely beautiful and slender). Quite a few westerners hold those small Malay women under their arms, almost like little girls carrying dolls. Where is the fun for female visitors? I have been thinking, what if man prostitutes are available and the act of picking up men from street become as acceptable as picking up women, would it become a business? I read an article once (maybe from Jim Roger's capitalist's venture), some European women go to Africa so to have some actions, and their bring condoms from their own countries.

I went to the KL aquarium this afternoon, fishes swimming is very theraputic. I cannot help but thinking most of them are already mental. They don't need to go around for food, confined in a small space, what are they thinking? Of course you cannot read fish's emotion from their face, but I cannot help thinking if they would express their ecstatics by swimming faster, roaming up and down from one end of the tank to another.

Or when they are really really bored, would they just stand still, you have to look very hard to see the movement of their fins. There is a type of Amazon fish, with a duck-like mouth, called paddle fish. They have not evolved for 500 million years. They swim with their mouth open, blindly sieving everything comes in their way. Could they spit out the food they don't like? There is also a very interesting English word I learnt today, those who study fish is called "ichthycologiest". I guess Manjit is going smile if he reads my blog.

On many streets in KL, there are so many different types of fruit trees. Coconuts, mangos and some local fruits I cannot name (but eaten). They are persistently growing inspite of ugly human intervention. Very deterministic.

I am staying in a very lousy hotel that has no internet service in guest rooms. It is all because the gynaecology convention is taking place in KL. There should be increasing number of young western men doing the pub claw at night, would they be interested in girls at all?
