	     <description><![CDATA[Right. Well. It's been almost a year since I last posted an entry. Lots has happened and I've decided to start again.

But not here.

NuTang's been awesome to me and I really enjoyed my time here. But it's time to move on (who knows though, I might regret this terribly and return here!!). Thanks to everyone for reading and I'd of course love to see you at the new blog.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Later, crocogators!]]></description>

	     <title>Changing Room (Sunday. 10.21.07  5:17 pm)</title>
	     <link>http://theZEBRA.nutang.com/comment_74120/</link>
	     <description><![CDATA[We enter the changing room.

There are a row of benches against the wall. We plop our bags on one and rummage through them for our bikinis. Mine seems to have hidden itself away in a secret corner, determined to remain unmolested. I briefly consider upending my bag onto the cold, wet tiles. 

&acirc;James,&acirc; Liz squeaks faintly.

&acirc;Mm-hmm?&acirc; Finally! I straighten up, clutching my bikini triumphantly.

&acirc;Don&acirc;t&acirc;&brvbar;don&acirc;t turn around.&acirc;

Automatically my head swivels around. The layout of the room looks something like this:



&acirc;Oh.&acirc; I sit down on the bench, or rather fall down into a sitting position with a whoosh.

Oh. From where we are we have a good view of the main area of the room. And what a view it is. An expanse of bare flesh stretches before us. Parading around the room and in the open (OPEN) showers. There are naked women everywhere. Young, taut bodies to older, saggier bits. A veritable feast for the eyes, if one were so inclined.

I am terrified.

For the love of god, why isn&acirc;t anyone using the changing cubicles? They're all choosing to strip in the middle of the room instead, some bent over in embarrassing positions in full view of anyone who cares to look.

I am staring. Liz is staring. We are staring. Mostly in unreserved shock (and a little panic on my part), but also because we haven&acirc;t quite decided our next course of action. To follow suit and undress along with everyone else or to head for the cubicles and for the comforting snick of a lock closing?

We eye the cubicles desperately. They of course have to be located right in the furthest corner of the room. To get there, we have to weave through the press of naked bodies. If that isn&acirc;t agony enough, doing so would also automatically brand us as pussies (heh, pussies).

What to do, what to do? On one hand, the anticipated embarrassment of pulling my clothes off in front of total strangers makes my stomach twist into knots. But on the other, I really don&acirc;t want to be a pussy.

Urgh. The guys are waiting outside. I have to make a decision.

&acirc;I&acirc;m&acirc;&brvbar;,&acirc; I clear my throat and try again. &acirc;I&acirc;m gonna use a cubicle.&acirc;

With that, I take a deep breath and strike out through the room. I soon regret my decision. I&acirc;m so painfully aware of my obvious attempts to avoid eye contact and the accidental touch that I&acirc;m shrivelling up with awkwardness inside. But I&acirc;m almost there. I finally reach the safety of a lockable door and heave a sigh of relief. Then I quickly change and brace myself before practically fleeing to the exit.

As I wait outside for Liz to join me, I catch the towel girl looking at me. She presses her lips and looks away. She knows, she knows! Pussy, pussy, pussy! You are a pussy, the line of her lips seems to say. Has someone spread the word already? This is too much to bear.

I am mortified. I am miserable.

	     <title>Token Nudes (Friday. 10.5.07  10:48 pm)</title>
	     <link>http://theZEBRA.nutang.com/comment_73670/</link>
	     <description><![CDATA[Token nudes are always fun. You know that it promises to be an awesome night out when the token nude rocks up. Everyone cheering, cameras flashing, fingers pointing and stories to tell the next day. It's great to be able to count on someone to take their kit off after a few drinks.

Until that someone turns out to be your other half. At the snick of a zipper, you shut your eyes in despair, praying fervently. &quot;Please please, don't let it be him.&quot; No such luck. Oh look, there he is, yanking his pants down. The shirt is long gone, buttons scattered on the floor. You can only watch in growing horror as he spanks himself and pretends (oh god, let him be pretending) to hump a hapless stranger. The same person who only an hour ago promised to treat you like a princess is now attempting to give you a lap dance.

My boyfriend passed me a photo the other night. Some twat on a bar top, thrusting (yes, thrusting) at the camera with his pants down. What an idiot, I chuckled. He was lucky that the shot was cut off at the neck so he couldn't be identified. 

Oh how I laughed. Until I recognised the underwear.


A slightly more decent pic

	     <title>Conversations in the Key of Mom IV (Sunday. 9.16.07  5:32 pm)</title>
	     <link>http://theZEBRA.nutang.com/comment_73061/</link>
	     <description><![CDATA[I just learnt that my mother was actually in Jakarta at the time of the earthquake that occurred close to it last month. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.5 so it was a little frightening to hear that. Looking back on our conversation, I can say with utter conviction that it&acirc;s best to absolutely forget about depending on her in times of emergency.

Describing her initial reaction to the shaking building

Mom: I could hear horrible creaking and I felt the whole building sway. And when I looked out the window, things were moving in and out of view at its edges. After about half a minute of this, I thought that I had better do something. So I called the reception desk.

Me: What?! Why didn&acirc;t you evacuate the building immediately?!

Mom: Oh, that would&acirc;ve been a little drastic, don&acirc;t you think? 

On how she finally escaped to safety

Mom: So I walked out of the room and headed to the lifts. 

Me: That&acirc;s dangerous! You were supposed to take the stairs!! 

Mom: I did think about that. But with 16 floors between me and the ground, I decided that I would rather die comfortable in a lift than in a stairwell.
