Last month, I toyed with the idea of being a tennis line judge. However being myopic and having a tendency to focus on the wrong kind of balls, chances are that this job isn't cut out for me.
Yesterday, Fourth of July, was America's Independence Day. Nothing of much significance to us Majulah Singapura singing folks. However Fourth of July, is also the date on which the annual Nathan's Hotdog competition is being held. In this year's edition, the 6 times champion Takeru Kobayashi pushed defending champion Joey Chestnut to an overtime eat-off when both contestants gobbled down 59 hotdogs in 10 minutes. In the exciting overtime eat-off, the defending champion was one bite ahead of Kobayashi and chomped down his 5th hotdog to claim the 2008 hotdog eating crown.
Gasp!
59 hotdogs in 10 minutes, which is close to 6 hotdogs per minute! How can any normal person do that when most of us can barely devour more than 3 hotdogs in 10 minutes. What's more amazing is the fact that Kobayashi-san is only weighs 110 pounds, which is about half of my weight.
I'm not known to excel at many things, but if there is one thing I can do well, that got to be eating. Being a fearless contender myself, I'm far from intimidated by themind hotdog gobbling feat of Kobayashi and Chestnut. With a little simple arithmetic, and using Kobayashi's weight as a base reference, I will attempt to conjecture the eating potential that is nestled inside my hefty frame. If a 110 pounds chap and gobble down 59 hotdogs in 10 mintues, a close 220 pounds mammoth like myself surely can down around 118 hotdogs in that time. 11.8 hotdogs per minute, I should start tunneling holes to link my nostrils and ears to the digestive tract.
In a tie up with the Singapore Food Festival, Kobayashi and Chestnut will be heading over to our shores in a Satay eating competition to be held at Robertson Quay on July 27. So what's a better way to kickstart my competitive eating career by out-wolfing them in a Satay eating competition. Now, I just need to find a way to swallow the wooden skewers without piercing my throat.
Random Countdown of the Month
22 more days to Eason Chan's Moving on Stage concert
也多谢了林宥嘉把这首歌曲在《星光大道（一）》决赛时唱的如此传神而把这首好歌推广给普罗大众们。歌词很有画面感，曲也很blues, 加上Eason 的歌声有着画龙点睛的效应。
Last Order
没关系真的没关系
我也许早就该回去
再一杯我告诉自己
到此为止干了不再续
麻烦你加冰威士忌
对不起来个double的
喝到这里终于够勇气说一个经历
那晚下雨在这店里
也放著这首曲
有个男子搭上一个女子
反正失恋
他当然不介意有段艳遇
只是回到他的家里
十几坪家徒四壁
一声不响那女的掉头离去
就像三个小时前
他未婚妻初次到来嫌弃的样子
就像我的未婚妻
对不起好似说成是我的样子
我是没关系
没关系真的没关系
一晚上就失恋两次
那男子还不懂怀疑
到底自己是否没出息
不客气别给我 ice tea
客人们不是我吓跑的
别看著我那个不过是我朋友的经历
