Closing Time

Just a notice of a temporary hiatus to my blog entries because of exams.

Photogs In Disguise will be temporarily shut down from 1/11/07 - 15/11/07.

Exams are here, the end to the academic year (for those not going on to summer school) is nigh. Remember, you get the marks that you deserve. So, work hard, study smart, and pass those exams!!

Good luck, and see you all again soon!!!

XOXO,
Allan T.

Bad Analogies #1

Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."

Eat Off Challenge: KFC Edition

The rules are simple. First to finish his/her share of food wins. If contestants are unable to finish them, rules revert to 'Last Man Standing' or 'Most Consumed'. The winner.. well, doesnt win much actually.. (will get that sorted next time round)

This editions contestants were: Allan, Reuben and Vinny, after a late pull out from seasoned veteran Joseph Kwak.

Allan 'I'm gonna eat you for lunch' Ting

Reuben 'Are you gonna finish that' Lo

Vincent 'I'm hungry' Baker

The Challenge was to finish off a 'Wicked Bucket' Meal (consists of 10 Wicked Wings, 8 pieces of Original Chicken, 6 Nuggets and 4 Large sides of competitors choice) in 6 hours, while watching gross - out movies. 'Fast Food Nation' and a horrible Korean thriller/comedy/horror/slapstick shit case of a movie - 'The Host' were rented out for this purpose.

Enough chicken to feed a village in Ethiopia...

The eat off started well. Everyone was pumped and hyped and everyone else slagging off each other. There was so much trash talk to psyche out opponents. Vinnys approach was interesting. Citing concerns of disqualification from the panel of judges, he opted to rip his chicken into pieces so that they were deemed a 'clean' eat. Allan and Reuben opted for the more conventional method. All three contestants started off strong... for the first 30 minutes... Then died off after that. Nothing much happened, besides a lot of moaning and groaning from full stomachs. 3 hours elapsed and there was a revival, a pathetic attempt at finishing the meal off, but still the contestants were far too full.

Official Cheerleaders and Judges...

830pm came, and none of us were able to finish our meals. The closest to finishing was Vinny. With only 1 large side remaining, making him the unofficial champion of this Eat Off. The aftermath was not pretty though, he ended up sick and a case of chronic constipation for a few weeks. The smart ones were left with only bruised egos and the aftertaste of chicken in their mouths.

So, KFC - 1, Challengers - 0.

Dont Be That Guy #1

'Don't Be That Guy #1' is the first in a series in this pilot project in response to all your 'You Know What Really Grinds My Gears' posts. It'll be a space for me to rant and rave about things that annoy the living bejeezuz out of me.. WATCH OUT!!

Dont Be That Guy #1: The Guy Who Keeps You From Sleepy Land

Good God, cant STAND these people!! Be you the one who kept me awake with your snoring during tournament, the one that throws a party the day before my field trip or the one who rings me up at 1 in the morning asking if i want to 'kick it' at the karaoke bar, seriously, please, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! I happen to love visiting the Land of Z's very much thank you, and would like to keep that visit regular and undisturbed by your selfish thoughtlessness. Spare a thought for those trying to get a good nights rest. For fuck sakes, go choke yourself on a chicken bone if you snore excessively... or I WILL!!!

You have been warned...

The Mansion Pt.2

Seriously guys, 'In the Sun' by Joseph Arthur is an awesome song!!!

Previously, on The Mansion...

It was a BBQ party, so first things first... the FIRE!!!

It took us a good 20 minutes to get the fire up and hot enough for the embers to burn through. It was near impossible mostly due to the intermittent wind... and drizzle... The temperature was dropping fast as well. So, we guys had to act really quickly or risk freezing our backsides.

Thom: ARGH, my crotch!! Ahhh, that feels better...
Pan: If you listen hard enough, you can hear the forest speaking to you...
Horst: I'm outta here, you two are NUTS!!

Countless fire starters, coal smudged faces, and a box of matches later...

Hobo's United

With the wind picking up, and the evening chill settling in, we retreated inside for a bit of gaming while the fires reduced the coal to hot, glowing embers. Truth be told, we were just waiting for the others to come back with the chips...

Horst: Give it to me, thats MY Wii-mote!!
Vinny: But I totally shotgunned it, its MINE!!
Thom: Ahaaa!! Totally kicking your ass here on Wii Sports Vinny...

And what was amazing was that these three troublemakers were staying out of trouble!! I took the opportunity to snoop around and snap shots around the mansion and found a nice spot upstairs at the gym. Nice, cosy corner to just lie in and sleep away a lazy Sunday afternoon.

We're not being naughty... PROMISE!!

A rare moment among the three...

Take a moment to savour the peace and quiet (and occasional Tourettes outburst from Von)

Rare-Allan- cam-whore moment... SMEXY!!!

The sun set and soon it was time for dinner. The party was treated to Burgers, sausages, chicken wings, kebabs and mushroom steaks prepared by Master Chef Pan (and his lovely assistant Von)!!

Von: We should totally star in our own cooking show...
Pan: *I'll star in my own, thank you very much*

Workin' it

SMEXY YUMZORS!!!

The rest of the night was followed by a whole lot of eating, boozing, sauna'ing spa'ing, a whole lot of dares involving hot and cold water and this bum fight...

Totally BITCH-I-FIED by the Raging Bull!!
