Of Strays, Buff Guys & A Musical

June was a very depressing month with news of a couple of acquaintance death. First was the husband of my mum's friend who died of heart attack. Then it was my brother's client's daughter who died from a fall from the balcony of her 4th floor apartment unit. This makes me realise that life is really short and anything can happen in a blink of eye. Hopefully July will be a better and happier month.

As per my schedule, July will be an exciting and fun-filled month because it's the Georgetown Heritage month. Throughout the whole month of July, events will be held to celebrate the island as a historical town.

I fully utilise my Sunday (yesterday) after sleeping for the whole of Saturday. I did not intentionally 'switch to lazy mode' but I was down with a bad flu and I do not have the energy to do anything other than sleeping. So when I am much better on Sunday, I went for a food fair, attended the Mr. Penang competition and watched a superb musical play.

The food fair was organised by the SPCA in aid of all those poor little cats and dogs. Most of those who went there were not after the food but more to checking out all the adorable canines. Many dog lovers brought their canine best friend along and obviously the four-legged friends were the centre of attention.

There were dog obedience performance, owner-pet look-a-like contest etc. We did not stay till the end of the event because we need to hurry to our next destination. Mr. Penang 2010!






I have seen the Mr. Olympia championship on youtube but watching all this testerone-overloaded guys flexing their muscles in public is truly a novelty. At this point, let me clarify that I am not some pervert girls who is into scoping all this hulk-like guys. My brother is into this sport and with him being such an enthuasist, I somehow have a little knowledge on body building. Plus, this event was held in a fully air-conditioned shopping mall. I was really curious to find out whether do they actually feel cold in only underwears.

They are not really eye candies (compared to watching the Spain football team in action) because they artifically tan (rub on a kind of special oil) themselves for a more muscular effect. Other than flexing the seven compulsory poses, the free style posing with music was the most interesting segment. From this competition, I learnt that it takes a lot of perseverance and hard work to achieve your goals. If you want something badly, then work towards it and never give up because the fruit at the end of all those hard work is really sweet.





Again I did not stay until the end of the competition because I have to rush to watch the musical play. My brother stayed until the event ended, so I don't have to wait for the newspaper to publish who the champion is. I shall pose the musical play on my next entry because I want to go into real details on that event. What a great kick start to the eventful month of July 2010.
