All in a day's quirkiness: NO SHIT!

Last sunday was meant to be a gathering of sorts with the guys at Sentosa. The purpose? Just plain hanging out, enjoying the sun sea, and babes. Not only did we encounter nothing interesting(except for girls sun-tanning by proning bare-back, who should really turn over *grin*), we ended up doing the thing we do best; SLACK. UNTIL we thought we saw somebody somewhat familiar, and here he is.



Now, I don't know about you, but this bugger, whom we saw trudging along the sands of siloso beach, seriously looks like Gabriel Batistuta, one of the greatest Argentinian footballers ever. He is also the country's top scorer with 56 goals, hence his well-earned nickname 'Batigol'.

We were mostly scratching our heads as he walked past us with his wife and kid. It goes something like this.

Jason: Eh, look at him!
Me: What?!
Jason: Aiyah, just look at him! Splitting image of...
Me: Batistuta?! In Singapore??

Jason quipped that he now lives in Perth, and thus it became impossible to rule out the remote possibiliy that it really is him!

Me: Shall we ask him for a photo? I mean, even if he isn't Batistuta, he really really looks like him!
Jinyuan: ahahaha, don't bother lah...

And so, will we regret this decision? Should we have worked up the courage to even ask for a photo with a complete stranger? I found out sooner than I thought when I saw this in the New Paper today.



WTF! Really, that went through my head when I read the paper. He was spotted at the Night Safari and someone did verify his identity. It really was him we saw! No shit indeed.
