The Missing Chopper

 

1

 

“I ordered an UberCHOPPER once and couldn’t get it because someone beat me to it.”

 

 

 

The Nightmare Club 

 

2

 

“I went to this nightclub the other day and I thought it was Ladies Night but OMG it wasn’t and I had to pay for my drinks. CAN YOU [REDACTED] IMAGINE?”

 

 

 

It Died

 

3

 

“I brought friends who were visiting to the Burj Khalifa and when I went to take a picture, I found my phone on 1% and I didn’t have my charger.”

 

 

 

The Changing Face

 

8

 

“A friend of mine was celebrating his birthday at JBR. On the day of the birthday, I woke up with a big ugly zit on my face. I didn’t go.”

 

 

 

The Visitor

 

4

 

“I had a bad fever and didn’t go to work for a week. All I did was lie in bed. I remember seeing a man in a white coat and when I asked why he was there, he replied, ‘I’m just making sure you’re okay’.”

 

 

 

The Unwanted Selfie

 

5

 

“I was at ComicCon when I spotted Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones. I wanted to take a selfie with him when they stopped me and told me that I had to pay money for that to happen. Rude.”

 

 

 

The Haunted Garden

 

6

 

“I’ve never been to Dubai Miracle Garden, so last weekend I decided that I actually had to go to make an effort, instead of being lazy. On the very same day, I was invited to the opening of a new hot spot in town and I ended up losing my phone that night. I blame the Miracle Garden.”

 

 

 

My Father’s Ghost

 

7

 

“My dad invited me for dinner. I went there and waited for half an hour before I decided to call him. The operator said this number is out of service and not working. A minute later the same number called. My dad’s number. He told me he was on his way and apologized for being late.”

Found in a box of bananas from the Philippines on the River Nile at an early age, Kurt is born to a Filipino mother and an Egyptian father which means emotionally he is completely screwed. Kurt is a bubbling cauldron of masculinity aside from his girly hair, camp voice and passion for One Direction.
