straight circles, caipirinhas and horny old men.

so after Batizado yesterday, we had a barbeque at someone's condo at Tanjong Rhu. it's like so troublesome to get there can. haha

but i suppose it was worth it. which is not to say i had "fun", not in the fundamental sense of the word, no.
but it was an experience. it was nice just spending time and feeling the community spirit.

oh, and thanks to the internet (Bantus Australia's site actually) i found out what Bantus means. and how apt.

What does Bantus Mean?
The name Bantus refers to a broad African ethnic group, the Bantu people, who shared a similar language root and occupied two thirds of Western & Southern Africa (Angola, Guinea, Congo, Mozambique etc). The term Bantu refers to over 400 different ethnic groups from these African regions. –NTU means “human” and BA- indicates a plural, put together it means “people”.

in essence, we represent what Capoeira is about - something by the people, for the people.

anyway, we got there at 8 plus, and hung around till 12 plus - when Ray, Polly and I realised the last bus had left.
so we were screwed.
being capoeiristas, we did the only thing capoeiristas could - improvise.

from there we spent the whole night talking cock (and i do mean both figuratively and literally) and laughing and essentially enjoying being around each other, all while roaming the Kallang waterfront.
and macs breakfast. hahah

thanks Deb. if someone had to tell me, it might as well have been you.
at least i don't have to find out for myself the hard way. love ya big sis.
