Alcohol Again

More money is lost again yesterday. Sigh.

Yesterday night was the only night where I could gather all the CSC class together. Yup, that was only my thoughts actually. The only people who cannot make it at first were Alvin and Darrell who are busying with work and Family Day respectively, Darren who did not reply at all. Then, right after my Japanese class, I received SMSes saying one has to handle some family matters, one having fever, and MSG Eva is not free. Although I had the feeling that this would be the outcome, I still imagined that everyone would come.

I met up with Ming Jie and Jinqing first at Bugis instead of meeting at Somerset, the rendezvous point. Then, we walked one stupid round in the Bugis Junction before going to Somerset. I wondered why Ming Jie still asked me to meet him at Bugis? Kai Yan was already playing his PSP when we reached the meeting spot. Later, Wee Khiang and Meng Yong came. We went on to decide our dining spot before Potato arrives. No one really likes the restaurants on the top floor in Heerens, so we went down to the Basement Shokudo instead. We sat there for about an hour before we left for the next destination. I did not plan for any next destination since I thought it will be just a dinner with a large group of people. They decided on going pub, I agreed as long as it is not clubbing (But we are not properly attired for clubbing, so even they forced me to go, I can even go in! Haha.).

We followed Meng Yong who led by going across Dhoby Ghaut and then in a pub (I don't know its name) which is located beside Fort Canning Tunnel. However, it has a long queue of people waiting for seats. Therefore, they chose Brewerkz at Clarke Quay (Clarke Quay AGAIN!!!). They actually wanted to drink beer! My number 1 most hated alcoholic drink. They ordered a Tower and some of them actually wanted to finish one whole mug at one go! Why must alcoholic drinks be drink in such a way? Potato and Kai Yan were the ones who started first. As for me, I stared at the mug in front of me and did not even dare to touch it. But when I finally pick it up, I put down again as soon as I smell the "stench". I could not possibly drink that thing down! When I finally drink it by taking a small sip each time, the group of maniac beside starting to go nuts. I kept talking with Jinqing while Wee Khiang kept taking pictures.

Luckily, when I left half a mug to go, the maniac wanted to play some games, but they ran out of beer, so I "kindly" offered mine. Phew.

When the maniac finally settled down, it was time to go home. When I take a look on those maniac, "I have drank alcohol" lines all written over their faces. Potato who has drank 3 mugs at one go looked so dreadful, and requested us to take him home by cab. Kai Yan and I took him since we lived near each other. Fortunately, the taxi driver has prepared plastic bags on his cab, and Potato... He kept regretting and said that he should not drink so much at one go.
