Well, I vowed that I will catch the lady boys this time at Bangkok, and I made it! Went to watch the Mambo Cabaret Show at Bangkok, Thailand, and to my pleasant surprise, they did a dance cover for the popular Korean group Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”!
Yep, they are the lady boys. Or you can call them the transvestite or the “agua”s, but whatever you call them, they did a pretty great job!
And I really mean, PRETTY! They’re hotter than many girls out there okay, you can’t find a trace of manliness in their performance!
Here’s a video of the performance. Don’t miss it, really!!

And going to Bangkok, Thailand.
The land where the guys are prettier than girls.
Well, the girl-guys, anyway. Ladyboys in another word. “Aqua”s, in Malaysian dialect.
I will definitely catch them this time!!
Well I’m not only going to Bangkok for the ladyboys. I’m going there for Chinese New Year shopping too. Clothes there are way cheap, okay!
So while I’m busy chasing ladyboys around in Thailand, if you happen to get bored on the net, why not take a look at my older posts?
Just keep scrolling down this page, I’m sure you’ll find something you’d like to read!
Stay tuned, Grey will be back by Wednesday, 13th Jan 2010!

How do you make your decisions?
Most of us would like to think that we are rational creatures that go through and speculate each of our choices as well as the chances and benefits before making our day to day decisions.
That includes which tomato to put into the basket, what to eat for lunch, where to watch the next movie, which car to buy, who to sell the house to and which company to buy over.
But, are we really that rational as we think we are, or are there other forces that pushes us to make our decisions otherwise that are actually irrational, yet we rationalize our decisions to make it seem rational?
Sounds confusing? Well watch this video by Dan Ariely, a world-famous behavioral economist and the author of Predictably Irrational, in this intereting TedTalk about “Are we in control of our decisions?”.
Really. Give this post 20 minutes, and perhaps you will make better decisions next time. Or maybe you think will be. ;)

How do you judge someone? By the talent, or by the race or gender?
As much as we would like to think that we’re open-minded enough to judge people by their abilities rather than the gender or race, but the fact is when I tell you someone is an Indian women and you will have the stereotype of the person being a housewife at a remote village rather than a manager of a well known company.
And now, picture yourself a 50 years old transgender American. What came to your mind? Think about it for 5 seconds and picture that.
Now I am about to tell you that she was once a child prodigy, and now a very talented pianist that won numerous awards and performs over 60 concerts a year today. Did you see that coming?
But Sara Davis Buechner did have a time when she was discriminated and lost most of her jobs when she came out as a transgender during the height of her career as David Buechner.
This is a story of a transgender pianist that made her way back to the stage and proud of it. Read on.

Grey’s babblings will be back in a while. After the holiday mood is all over. Really! ;)
