jon's blog

i could go on for 40 days and 40 nights about my blog title and bore you to bits and pieces with 10,000 different ideas i actually had for the name of this blog but because of the 500 characters limit that is imposed upon this mechanism which, by the way, is supposed to promote free speech, i shall shorten it to just two words basically describing what the hell this is all about and who this hell belongs to.

why i like Pangkeng so much as a friend

the other day, Pangkeng SMSed me.

PK: hows life? (in his typical SMS shorthand)

Me: Ok lor. Sore throat, smoke too much. (in my typical Queen's English format)

PK: i tink we need 2 cool down, may b drink sum Ang Moh Herbal Tea. (Ang Moh is our local term for Caucasians, it's a Hokkien-based term)

Me: like what? Earl Grey? Chamomile? Lavender? i drink a lot of that.

PK: beer

ME: KNN lah. hur hur.

we met up for our weekly beer drinking session at a tacky hole-in-the-wall bar in Kitchener Road after that. the name of the Bar was 'Oh Carol!'. i dare you to guess the name of the bar owner.

Think of it this way, beer is somewhat made of barley, no? And barley water is cooling eh?

I chanced upon you @ the prep room that day, but I had no balls to say hi.

Lemme take a stab at the name... Jennifer? ;)

Where is Kitchener Road? I swear I'm Singaporean, really. But I don't know half the places here. Is 'Oh Carol!' your favorite haunt, or do you have a favorite?

My favorite for drinks would be the Dubliner's, just across the road from the park which is just across the road from Meridien Hotel. Favorite for music would be a small pub called The Excalibur in Tanglin Shopping Centre (not to be confused with Tanglin Mall).

We're still meeting up Saturday right? I haven't yet confirmed with the brothers. I should probably do so...

What! You young guys have no sense of gay history, gay culture and anti-chewing gum campaigns! A bar called "Oh Carol" has to be owned by a man called Neil (Sedaka) :-)

emm cant the owner's name just plainly be carol? haha
By Anonymous Anonymous, at 5:49 pm  

jon,

although pk is straight, i think pk and you have the same frequency AM (alcohol maniac). I hate alcohol but I am on the frequency FM (fcuk maniac). perhaps you like both? then you are "qi sin" (cross wired in cantonese,...i.e. both AM and FM) =P


chad from dc,

KNN is an abbreviation for a hokkien sexual slang:

"Kàn ni na-bu chhau chi-bai" or in short "Kàn ni na".

Kàn = fcuk
ni = you
na-bu = the one who bore you??
chhau = smelly
chi-bai = virgina

In cantonese it is "DNLM" in short, but it is never heard in Hokkien dominating s'pore.

jon, correct me if i am wrong because my hokkien is very bad. i remember those army days when the platoon sing...

"combat medics marching in woola woola..KNN! combat medic marching in woola woola..KNN!"

"seek, save, serv...KNN!!"


p/s: qi sin in cantonese = siao in hokkien =P

KNS... Like that also can... Creative sia, "ang mo herbal tea" indeed. But I wonder if it helped or worsen your throat.

Kitchener Road sounds very familiar. But I can't put a finger anyhere at all...
By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:23 pm  

I was just there in kitchener road the other day and I should have hang ard there longer and I would get to see a celebrated gay blogger than with the infamous pang keng. damn. haha

and asianthirst, i shared the same freq as u then. a FM ! :p

Beer is gas-pumped long island tea. Lol. Our slang in with my uniformed buddies.
By Blogger Suzanne, at 10:08 pm  

ROK: you guess?

savante: that's common lingo for you. i use it all the time apparently.

nard: agreed. there's nothing better than good friends, a round of beer and cigarettes.

jasmean: not only barley, but hops and plenty other good stuff thrown in for good measure. wasted, you should have said hi. alas, if you need balls, the only ones i can give you are cotton. from the prep room, of course.

prawninator: Oh Carol is not my fave jaunt. it's a hole-in-the-war kinda pub with plenty of uncles and aunties and all of them singing hokkien KTV. drinks are cheap though. plus we know the bartender. and one good friend to have in life is a bartender or a door bitch.

terry: i wish to say that the owner drew inspiration from that, but she's a bit of a heartlander. plus her name's Carol.

brachy: Hai Xiang. oooh. great over-priced food. great none the less.

chad: well there you have it, luv. Asianthirst has explained it to you. it's a great word to say when said in a certain tone. but then again, all words can be said of, the same way.

asianthirst: when i was a combat medic, i was part of the MRF, the urban deployment unit that handled chem warfare. and i'm not talking about chems as in ice-cream and whatnots. our chant was 'Seek, Save, Serve... HUAR!!!!' of course, it helped that we were carrying plus-sized field packs and wearing shorts and boots at the same time.

acko: oh well. singapore is a small place. sure will bump into each other sooner or later one.

atticroses: hey welcome back. can't tell whether you're male or female though. so i don't know whether to be cheeky or not.

jy: yes. we night birds love mustafa, don't we?

suzanne: and what uniformed group would that be? Brownies? Boy Scouts.? what suzanne is a girl's name, isn't it?

the typical malay life jibe was uncalled for.

its sad that you think most malays become matreps as you so eloquently put it.

i had enjoyed reading your blog till then.
By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:44 pm  

Oh other anonymous, don't be so emo.

"the typical malay life"

Since it's so "typical", why are you getting so worked up over it? Shouldn't it be normal? It may be "typical" but I don't see any problem with making fun of a stereotype. Jon makes fun of his all the time.

Think about it.
