Tribute to Metallica
Nothing happened with the mad Australian. Damn. She left for Van Vieng this morning. Didn't even have the chance to buy her a proper drink. Hope she didn't get waylaid by the hordes of crazy and stoned backpackers up north. Then again, she being mad might make her feel right at home. Oh and by the way, I just got to write down this surreal moment I had with her in the car.
I recalled when we were in the car, Mad Australian Girl (MAG) asked to turn up the music. I was thinking that I am about to impress her with my wonderful collection of great songs such as the likes of Snow Patrol, Ronan Keating and 3 Doors Down (I burned all to a CD) before I realised that I left the CD in my other car in Singapore. Damn. Still, I am not too worried. I got plenty of CDs in my car prepared just for this occasion so I slotted a random one in. Maybe it would be freaking Celine Dion or hell, Vanessa Mae.
I turned up the volume on this unknown, long forgotten CD and holy macaroni, guess what - It is playing Metallica "Unforgiven". Now is that the F-king absolute worst song you could play for a girl in your car? Any girl in her right mind (e.g.a normal Singaporean girl) would be thinking "Damn, I am riding in a stranger's car and listening to Metallica? Psycho! Save me!" I was cursing to myself - of all the freaking CDs in my car, I slotted in a hard metal CD and ended up with a Metallica track. I don't even know how this CD got in the car. This CD must have been with me when I was in freaking JC back in those days when I could name all the legendary metal bands from Ozzy Osbourne to Iron Maiden to freaking Metallica. Did I blow it there and then?
But lo and behold, MAG likes it! She sit upright and said "Shit - Is there Metallica?" Hell, she recognised the song in the very few seconds when James Hetfield started strumming his guitar. Double holy shit - how many girls you know can recognise a Metallica song in the first few seconds just by listening to the guita strums? If it is "Enter the Sandman" I can understand. But "Unforgiven"? MAG explained that the first concert she went to was a Metallica concert in Sydney. KERR-CHING! JACKPOT! THE CHRISTIANS ARE RIGHT! THERE IS A GOD!
Aaaww. That really made my day. I thought the only way to impress girls in the car was to play soft romantic music. Romancing Singaporean girls perhaps. But when it comes to madcap girls from other countries, perhaps it is better to be yourself and bring out the Guns N Roses rather than the Backstreet Boys. Even if MAG doesn't call me (and her stupid Vodafone HP got no signal in Laos so I can't call her - confirms my suspicion that Vodafone sucks balls), I am strangely comforted by the fact that sometimes, you need not be gentlemanly and perfect to charm a girl. If Metallica works, there is hope in this world indeed. Next time I picked up a girl, I am going to play "Its My Life" by Bon Jovi and rock the world. Now that's cool.

That's the end?
You got her no? Call la. Just don't become a Christian hor.
Oh, Da Vinci is out in Singapore. People who read the book didn't find the movie good.
There is no god. I didn't get her number as she was fiddling with her Vodafone hp trying to get a network all the while. Besides, it might make me look like a pyschotic stalker.
