I needed a beer

Frustrated with deprivation of alcohol... I messaged almost everyone I knew but no one was free!!! People are either off for a weekend holiday, sick, busy, taking care of kid or they don't drink at all. I'm beginning to realise I do lack of friends whom are spontaneous enough. My potential drinking mates are unfortunately thousands of miles away and no one is left to 借酒消愁 with me, in fact it's not 愁，it is 闷闷闷闷闷闷闷。My days at home are bugged with fruitless job searching and an overdose of beauty sleep. I needed a stimulant.

Strangely, the first thing on my mind is ALCOHOL. (I'm not alcoholic I SWEAR and I don't intend to be one!)

I ended up persuading both my sisters (whom are more party-poopers than clubbers) to come along, gladly they did because I think they needed a stimulant as well in their too-routine life. ChinaOne is a nice place but sadly they do not carry enough variety of BEERS!!! We stood like pillars with our Corona-s, my sister looked so tense and uneasy, the other tired and grumpy. Not the best night, really... I was starting to regret making them come.

At about 11pm, one of them wanted to leave... I reluctantly obliged as the boredom marked on her face was infectious. So I made a last trip to the Ladies. Upon returning to the table, I noticed a couple of familiar faces - people from a travel community whom I met once.

Right then, my party mood started to surface, I decided to stay and it was a wise decision. My lil sister, being a clubbing virgin, wanted to do the same. I also bumped into an ex-colleague, John, whom stayed around too... A fruitful night afterall, I managed to get my dose of alcohol (beer), met new people, saw old familiar faces and also taught my lil sister a new lesson about partying-dancing-clubbing!

Quoted this from my sister's blog:
"My sister is just a really adaptable creature; a side of her I haven't seen before. She is always up and about and asking people to the dancefloor."

And to be honest, I don't think I know myself that well enough... but something for sure is that I am constantly changing and learning. If you say I was really a quiet person in the past, I would agree with you. But now... apparently things have changed. Yesterday, I bumped into John (an ex-colleague) whom has set off my wanderlust... he was selling me off to his mate (Pete) that I was once the most boring person in Singapore - having not gotten out of Singapore for the first 21 years of my life. And then he said - look at me now... I probably know more about UK than he does (which I don't reckon!).

Not prepared

As I am blogging, the girls are probably still downing beers and pizza at Wala Wala. It's my 4th night out and another booze. I reckon I'll be dead if I do it a few more times. Barely a week, 4 days consumption of alcohol... now my liver needs a rest. Good thing is I never gotten drunk on any occasion, and that means I didn't exceed my limit;) Today, after a 0.5L Erdinger... I felt extremely sleepy, might also be due to my 5-6 hours of sleep.

1st Day at Work

Feeling stressed about it. It's been a while since I put myself into a spot... whether to commit or not! I start to dread, to fear, to be afraid, to be scared... to be indecisive. This new job is challenging and way too, a lot of rollercoaster rides ahead. Am I prepared, can I do it? I can't give an answer. To be totally brutally honest, I haven't gotten myself into the mood yet. Or should I say I'm not yet passionate about it. I'm probably straining myself a little too much than I can handle, afterall it's only the first day and I don't have to prove anything. I'm swayed by a temptation, and it's hard to resist.

3 parties & a booze in less than a week

Isn't it crazy... Well for a person like me, yes, CRAZY. The most I have done was a couple of times a month, but now it all happens in a week. I couldn't turn them down since friends came back from abroad... and well of course, to catch up with other long-time-no-see friends... plus I had a week free before the start of the new job. Gay clubs, we went. It was my virgin visit, and we went to two of them... can't say I totally enjoy or hate it. These 'men' are all so CUTE, yes. But they're interested in what I'm interested in too - MEN. Only difference is probably they're looking for homosexual ones:)

Tomorrow

620am. See the dark morning sky, force my butt out of the bed, do a speedy shower and preparation and an hour journey to work. God!

Mambo frill & thrill

$22 cab fare. It sometimes sucks to live faraway from town you know, but I still prefer the peace and quiet outside it. No chaos.
8 hours sleep thereafter with my contact lens. God, I even forgot about these, even though I wasn't anything near drunk!
At least 5 beautiful ladies, 2 gays, 3 boys. I like the gay boys, they take such good care of us :))))
Teochew porridge supper :D~
TOTALLY WORTH IT.

2 drunkards came up to me. They are actually friends but took turns since one of them failed to get my number, handed me a card which I deliberately dropped it somewhere. Touchers, I didn't like them AT ALL! And they went on to terrorize the ladies in our group!! ARGgghhhhhhhhh... idiots.

It's not the first time I met men in a club but it is the first that I get so many of them the same night, it is hard to have fun with these "things" around. It doesn't make ME feel good when a stranger comes up and asks for my number. I take it as a hint that either this man is desperate for a date or for sex. And not surprisingly, the most beautiful thing said to me last night actually came from a gay... Such a sweetie! He even helped me to get away from the idiot!

One more Xmas party to come...

My flu miraculously recovered last Friday when I was so ecstatic about the Xmas Party (German Dragon Singapore) that following night. Good mood does make things go easier!

A little about the party. Not too much, in case you doze off while reading... There were about 50 people, free flow of beer, nice buffet of sausages, sauerkraut, mashed potato, spicy wings, bread with cheese and meat selection, salad and soup... probably more if I missed out some. Lot of naughty snow-spraying which turned most of us into 'snowman' and 'snowwoman'. Luckily, I got myself a bottle too, so I could play revenge and be a little devil! Hehe. My nice red boots was hurting my feet, even though there wasn't any dancing but wearing it for hours... ouch... I felt my feet swollen when I got home and so Saturday was for resting.

I wanted to post up a collage of the party pictures but I have emailed majority along with the season greeting. So I'm going save some space here, since I'm not given a lot here. So enjoy the picture for those whom have gotten my message.

Something made me bright and chirpy today. A work email addressing me as Trixy XX-San (where XX is my surname, lol)... I found it quite amusing and cute. Sometimes I love the way the Japanese works - I mean language-wise. Other than that, it's slightly past mid December, I have spent far too much (about $500) for this month. I still have 3 more weeks before I get my paycheck.

Ministry of Sound - SG

Wow, first time going to Ministry of Sound in Singapore... think I did go to one held at Expo some years back. But now, we have our own club and it's massive. It's comparable to our local Zouk, now I wonder if Zouk can survive with the fact that MOS is situated at a much more accessible location and charges a cheaper admission fee!!!

I got in free with an event pass, had a couple of mates with me. The event was okay, too crowded to really be a part of it and it was ending just as I was there. So we left and sneaked out for a nice "supper", I had this Oreo cheesecake (soooooo good) at TCC (Angela's favourite hangout), caught up with some people at Crazy Elephant, got tempted to play pool but didn't want to show off my embarrassing skill. LOL. Though I really want to pick up on that.

When we finally went back to MOS after 11, the music was fabulous... RnB section was cool as well. Well furnished, only thing is you tend to get tripped very easily, too dark and too many steps around. Crowd was good, music was better, so everyone had a wonderful time dancing...

Finally ended our night at 2am, only got home at 3.20am, and much needed a shower from all the smoke and alcohol smell... woke up today with curls - I like it.

Pillow fight, ouch!

Man, I haven't had such an aggressive brawl for very long...

We spent a friday night chatting away, fooling around, drinking alcohol, gambling, playing stupid games and celebrating the 24th birthday for one of our beach volleyball mate, Benson. Everyone of us finally retired at 4am, not one of us was allowed to doze off until we had our fair share in the games.

There was a time, a wrestle broke up. 3 of us girls were smacking 3 guys with pillows... I couldn't recall how it started. It was so violent, so rough, no leniency for the weaker sex! Imagine I was using all my limbs struggling, it must have been fierce. After what seemed like a long time, all of us finally fell onto the bed, dead tired. It must have burned all our calories from dinner...

I finally finally finally had a game of beach volleyball after months, hurrrrayyy. The rainy season and insufficient players has kept us away the beach for some time, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the ball! And I did pretty well on Saturday. The night before has definitely bonded us better. Yes, I'm getting talkative with these guys... ha ha.
