I was procrastinating yesterday night from the things that I have to get done by this weekend..and surfing around blogs…and stumbled across this person’s blog.
http://thebutterflytales.blogspot.com/
I was actually very intrigued by it cos 1. i found the way the blogger writes very candid and interesting. 2. i was trying to figure out if the blogger was male or female and if straight or paddling for the other team. and 3. he wrote very honestly and explicitly about sex.
Hmmmm… how many people actually blog about such taboo (considered taboo to us Asians as compared to our Anglo counterparts) issues. To go “eeeeee” about it is quite phony cos come on. let’s face it. most of us are doing it whilst the rest of us are going to be doing it at some stage of our lives or have already “been there, done there”.
It’s funny that i read that at night when just a couple of hours earlier, Rah, Wan and I were sitting at Bar Luca (affectionately known to us as Bar Loser) having a few Friday after-work drinks and this topic came up too. it was quite a good mix. An Australian girl coming of age who is starting her exploration; An Asian dude who grew up in Australia who claims to be a “born-again virgin” and me – the “Convent School” Asian FOB brought up in Asia.
Can’t go into much details cos we have the “circle of Trust” but it was just honest straight talk abt such subjects. Our reactions, perceptions, experiences and opinions on sex were shared. Suggestions, information, guidance and views were given round the table.
When I read that blog, I was captivated at the way he decribed stuff (in general). I know that as a Christian there are certain guidelines that we should adhere to but I don’t claim to be perfect. I don’t think talking about sex should be a taboo subject and i just find it so fake when Singaporeans shun away from it. Come on.. as if people weren’t watching that NYP girl (what was her name again? ) sex tape that was leaked to the public when her phone got stolen…or for the generation before.. that ex-RGS girl Annabelle Chong (real name : Grace Quek) who made it into the news for “hosting” the worlds biggest gang bang.

We publicly went “tsk tsk tsk” but were still sharing and watching the explicit footage.
Just a random thought, am not trying to suggest that I am a secret Asian slut or anything. I’ll leave that to Xiaxue to “educate” and “liberate” my fellow Singaporeans.

Over and Out to enjoy the rest of my Saturday arvo.
