an intoxicating week

It seems that most weekday nights are set for drinking. So much so it has become some sort of ritual. Not that it mattered anyway as I have been working for 2 weeks straight without a proper rest day. So I really can’t tell the difference.

Haven't really recovered from Saturday night's birthday party. And what a party it was! We had countless jugs of beer, followed by yummy brain damage shots and far too many tequila shots. But the highlight of it all was the deadly Guinness + Baileys dunk shot. This one alone can set you puking right away. Then of course there was the cake and the cake fight and the singing and dancing.

A little after 3am, when the doors to the pub were closed, a staff there offered a RM50 reward to anyone who can sing Negaraku. He sure knows how to pick a drunkard's brain! A few of us tried, but we were hopeless. No one can fully and correctly sing the damn song!

So we continued to do what we did best – drinking. After another hour or so, someone from another table offered me a glass of Gold Label – probably trying to shut me up after my countless attempts at singing Negaraku!! Well I haven’t really tried it before, took a big sip and wanted more. It was DAMN good! If I didn't exceed my quota for the night, I would have had 2 or 3 more! Well at least I managed to get the friendly guy’s name card which read of some big shot at from P. Lal Stores.

Well, that was Saturday.

Tuesday night, we got high and happy on lots of white and red wine. The company was great, the button mushroom and escargots where yummy, and the wine just keeps coming. We had a group of young and happy neighbors with lots of animals and bears and flowers on their table.

This was one if them

Intrigued, I went over to talk to the genius with the great hands who also made me a teddy with a flower and a dinosaur as well. This smart, young and handsome chap learnt his skills in just 3 days! No wonder he goes to Yale! Sadly, after just 15mins, they had to leave, not only for the night but also back to the States.

Oh well... I hope he is making more flowers and bears and all and doing very well wooing the girls with his new skills back in the States!

Than came Friday night and more drinking with some close friends. This time, it was Chilis for their damn cold and huge pints of beers. We talked about friendship and how it is very important to take care of it, just like you would to a love relationship. Only this doesn’t come with the sex.

But really, you just can’t take friends for granted. You need to put in some effort to make it last, to make it work, to care for them. Not only in times of trouble but just simply the companionship. After all what are friends for?

So make sure you check on your mate from time to time to see if they are ok. A simple sms, a Buzz! On MSN or a phone call is all it takes. Everyone loves to be loved.

Just got an sms from a friend, they are serving Lychee Martinis, at home, on a Sunday night. I am outta here!

Damn I am turning into an alcoholic.
