Whassssupppp!

Lo Lai (from our HK office, her real name is Nora but her colleagues nicknamed her Lo Lai and I like calling her that too coz it's funny) and me - quick pic with Wyclef Jean post his energetic 2 hour showcase at Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Brilliant guy - I met him before last year in Langkawi and despite his fame (for the clueless, he's from The Fugees... you know the song 'strumming my pain with his finger.... ONE TIME'), very down-to-earth and absolutely talented. He walked on his hands on the bar counter, played the guitar with his mouth (dun ask me how but he did), did some kungfu moves with a random Chinese dude from the crowd, played the drums, played the congas, free styled rap and managed to throw in Cantonese (Lei Ho Ma) and namedropped Jay Chou in... very impressive.Alright - how many females do you see in this picture? Correct answer is .....................3. Me (obviously!), the one in white in the foreground, and the one in grey in the middle. The rest of the 'sexy ladies' are........ men! Cannot tell right?!!!?? Ok, I think the one 2nd from the left looks quite manly, but the rest, for goodness sake, look more womanly than me! No, my colleagues and I did not go to a tranny show in Thailand - these 5 'sexy ladies' is a ladyboy pop group signed to our Thai office, called Venus Flytrap. They could very well be the Thai version of Spice Girls except they aren't really girls....
