Guest Wilson Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Once upon a time, my friend named David who had always been an adventurous foodie. He traveled far and wide, tasting the local delicacies of every country he visited. After hearing countless praises about Singapore's vibrant food scene, especially its famous seafood, David booked a trip with one thing on his mind—prawns. He had read that Singapore’s prawns, whether served in the iconic chili crab sauce or grilled to perfection, were out of this world. Upon arriving in Singapore, he wasted no time and headed straight to a well-known seafood restaurant that had rave reviews. The tantalizing smell of spices and seafood greeted him at the door, and David felt certain that he was about to experience something unforgettable. He ordered a large plate of prawns, expecting them to be bursting with flavor, tender and juicy as promised. When the dish arrived, they looked perfect—large, bright orange prawns glazed with a beautiful sauce. David eagerly took his first bite. But then, disappointment hit. The prawns were overcooked and rubbery, with none of the sweet, tender flesh he had imagined. Worse still, the sauce, which was supposed to be a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, was overwhelmingly salty. David tried to enjoy the meal, thinking perhaps his expectations were too high, but each bite seemed worse than the last. The prawns were not fresh, and the texture was all wrong. His excitement turned into frustration. He left the restaurant feeling defeated. How could something so hyped up fall so short? Determined not to let it ruin his trip, David gave Singapore's prawns another shot the next day at a hawker center, where locals swore by their favorite seafood stalls. Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t much better. The prawns were fresher this time, but still lacked the flavor he had hoped for. The chili sauce was too greasy, and the prawns, though better than the first time, were nothing special. David couldn't understand it. Singapore was supposed to be a seafood lover's paradise, yet prawns, the one dish he had been most excited about, kept letting him down. By the end of his trip, David had eaten many incredible meals, from laksa to Hainanese chicken rice, but when it came to prawns, he left Singapore with a lingering sense of disappointment. Maybe it was just bad luck, or maybe his expectations had been set too high. Either way, prawns in Singapore would forever remain a missed opportunity in his otherwise memorable food adventures.

I feel sorry for David and his disappointment with Singapore prawns. I didn't have such bad luck. In my 14 or so visits to the island, I ate traditional Singapore food only once, in my first trip. Instead I enjoyed Singapore GAYS, and if some would qualify here as "prawns" I don't care. They were good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Strong Statement Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 On 9/21/2024 at 10:10 PM, Guest Mr Anderson said: 377A was only repealed two years ago. I am pretty sure there are many gay people now who are still planning on getting married to the opposite sex to please their parents. Your "pretty sure" possibly existed pre internet, boomers era. In the modern internet days where being gay has already became well known, and even celebrated in some countries, where one believe that you are either gay or straight with no pressure whatsoever involved, and intelligent enough for you not to look the other way as an "option".

It's nothing to do with intelligence (or not) or ignorance when marriage of convenience - the wife may know, accept and even prefer her husband as gay - happens. She may be straight, she may be lesbian even. Lol Some gays get married to opposite sex not for romance/passion, love or sex - cos opposite sex obviously may feel more like sisters or lesbians together lol - but myriad other reasons, often a mixture of them; like obeying one's religion, marrying into money, family connections, financial/social stability/mobility, conservative family/social/work environment acceptance, avoiding rejection from family/community/society, and even wanting to have kids? Some employers prefer to promote straight and married employees to higher management positions, so if you are single and especially suspected to be gay, you will be straightaway overlooked in their consideration.

Guest Well Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 ...It's called Personal Choice, if you are gay but married the opposite sex. Like gold diggers finding a sugar daddy and marrying into money and prestige. When others accept your personal choices, they are respecting your decisions - it is what it is - because some of them may understand and empathise in your situation - not because they are not intelligent, ignorant or dumb.

If you're not hard up for sex, do not have a strong need to express your identity or view that as a source of pride, you will get by with minimal inconveniance and misery, and trumps being looked down by your boss and ostracised by members of your family! And instead of barkings, you get an adorable troll - or two - to call you daddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of us, sex may not have to develop into a desperation when we can apply a good imagination to a do-it-yourself. And intimacy can exist without much hard sex. It is nice to be called "daddy", and later "dad" and "grandpa", ha ha. Strange Fruit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thatguy642 Posted Monday at 06:22 AM Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 06:22 AM A person only really becomes ugly if they choose to act in ugly ways. If you’re going around judging people’s faces and insulting them, then it’s highly likely that it’s in fact, you, who are the ugly one. people who are ‘conventionally unattractive’ can still shine and stand out in a crowd if they are great people.

radiusulnar Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago (edited) thread enlivened by double entendre posts! a fun read. to keep on topic, I would happily be a prawn since that is something I can work on to improve as compared to my visage which is more or less fixed barring surgery.
