Ah, to see Yin g after like ten million years is like holding your breath for very long and finally being allowed to exhale. And exhale alot I did. Well, it was more like vomit incoherently cos we were jumping from topic to topic. I miss YI ng ever since she left NJ!! I still do. And once more, I was reminded of the fact that when YI ng left, one of my 'life support system' just totally died. It's so good once more to be able to speak your heart without thinking what the other party would judge, or if what you said is appropriate for the ears which are going to hear it, or if you're gonna put the other party in a spot (i.e. with no idea how to reply you). It is also so impossibly goood, to be able to squeal 'she's so cute!' and talk about girls like you always do within yourself in N J. I know for a certainty that if yi ng had been in N J, I might have been a happier state. But then, such things are never in my control.

We walked a whole lot around Orchard trying to find a decent cheap place to eat and after like 1 plus hr, finally settled down at the 'usual PR hangout', N Y D C. But not that we were complaining about the walking, after all, (1) walking helps you lose weight, so you can eat more for dinner (2) we were cruising at the same time. Of cos, the cruising part was more important. For that, we walked from LIdo to taka and goodness knows where. But alas, monday night is not the 'season'. There weren't many pretty girls to look at. And my happy heart started jumping and my lungs started hypreventilating when she mentioned, 'Eh, you know Alessandra Ambrosio?'. Turns out YI ng is a fan too! And we were like squealing and slapping each other with flailing arms in the middle of Orchard, with swoons of 'She is soo hot!'. People probably thought we were nuts. But then, that's no so bad cos we were talking pretty loudly in N Y too and the straight couple next to us probably got an earful about 'queer' stuff. And it was quite obvious that they could hear what we were saying. But then again, that can't compare to when you go out with church people and everyone speaks so loudly about purely queer content. Blissfully unaware, we were broadcasting to the whole world and we didn't give a hoot.

I also found out alot of gossip and realised that actually, I missed out on a hell lot in S C. By being the bookish nerd I was in the past, I didn't get to hear all the interesting queer stuff which I'm only hearing now. Oh well. Today was a good and happy day! I've released all that pent up 'grrl feelings' and now feel very liberated! After that, we rushed home like mad dogs to catch this National Geographic Channel documentary on homosexuals, hermophrodites and transvestites in the animal kingdom. Pretty interesting stuff:

-Apparently, homosexuality and polygamy is rampant in the animal kingdom and monogamy is considered rare.
-Sea hares, a certain sea slug, are hermaphrodites and have functioning male and female sex organs. They can actually mate for days and when they do so, it is always an orgy. In fact, they form a 'daisy chain'. One plugs in and gets plugged in, if you get my drift.
-Some animals don't reproduce through sexual intercourse at all. They clone themselves, e.g. bacteria
-There is a species of lizards which genus consists entirely of females. There are no males in the species. How do they reproduce? Well, I can only put this across in this rather crude fashion but I don't know how else to say it, lizard lesbian *** apparently. In the process, the females get stimulated to produce hormones which lead them to conceive.
- In many species, the proportion of males in the population are kept at the bare minimum for sperm supply. But females are in abundance becos, without females, there can be no (large-scale) reproduction.

Actually, the lizard part is very interesting, not becos I like the 'lesbian aspect' but more so becos I once read this really intriguing article in VOGUE. Yea, VOGUE. You'd probably be wondering why the heck a fashion magazine has anything to do with biology. Well, fashion sometimes is a celebration of a woman's body and the article was about 'sexual power' or something. You know how the female clitoris is essentially a completely useless entity? And somehow, in a way, it seems like a mini-penis? Scientists have tried to explain it and the answer is that humans were once all hermaphrodites (or something like that). Males did not exist and females were equipped with their own dick. After evolving for millenia, males came into evolution and thus the need for females to be able to fertilise each other became non-existent. Hence, the female 'dick' shrank as it became less important (just as how our appendix is small and seemingly useless). And today, the clitoris is what is left of the past.

Also, there is another biological fact, which I read elsewhere, that supposedly supports this theory. When a baby is born, its default sex is female. It only becomes a male (if its a boy) later in the pregnancy when the baby is overwhelmed with male sex hormones. And it is the clitoris on the 'default' girl that develops into the penis and the labia that becomes the testicles. In fact, (and this is really a true fact), inside all males bodies are undeveloped ovaries, fallopian tubes and even, a vagina. But this is a little known fact and even I was shocked to read about it.

Well the first paragrpah is all intriguing speculation but the second paragraph is all true facts. So there you go. Food for thought eh??

P.S. Hehe! I always knew girls can do without the boys! But I can't nite trek without a guy. So people, please go for nite trek especially if you're a guy!!
