Wednesday night. Had dinner with Jules in SS2. I think the restaurant is called Hokano. It was a pretty heavy dinner. Had tofu and fried oysters for starters. Had a steak set with rice and soup. After dinner, I suggested to Jules that we grab a few drinks. "A slow night" I told him. "Don't lie to yourself lar" was his response. Well... it is true, we never have slow nights. We always say we just grab a drink or two, but it always ends up to be drinksssss.

We make our way to TTDI Plaza. Dilemma 1...we were undecided on which pub to drink in. I suggested Tao as it's been a while since we last went there. So we went to Tao. Dilemma 2.. to drink beer or whisky. Jules suggested whisky as it's not too expensive. 318 per bottle. The gal brings the bottle and Jules tells her... make our shots double. We like our whisky 'kau'. We down a few glasses to get things going. Soon after, Karen arrives. I haven't seen her for ages. Used to go clubbing with her. So it was good to see her. Chatted a lot with her. Talking about x'es and the things you do when you were in love then. Sigh... I need to get a gf soon.

Oh yeah... there is this gal who comes over, selling shots. Supposedly it's absinthe. But you know lar, all these shots are con jobs. Since she was pestering me, and she looks pretty alright, I buy 3 shots. 20 bucks a pop. We yam seng and down that shit. Bloody watered down. 30 mins later, the gal comes over again. She claims that she has 1 shot left and she can go home once she has sold it. I obviously fall for it and buy the shot. Another 20 bucks down the drain. Sigh... when will I ever learn?

We finish off the bottle easy. Karen has to get up early for work the next day, so we walk her to her car. Once she leaves, Jules looks at me and says... Grab a jug of beer? I was like.. Hell yeah muther fucker. We march to Wabi and to our disappointment they are closing. We go to Waikiki instead and order a jug of beer. We chat and listen to some 80's music. We were the last customers of the night. We finish off our beer and walk out.

Jules wanted to drink more, so we went to Bamboo. We get another jug of beer. Another gal comes and she's selling shots as well. I tell her that I'll buy one if she takes a picture with Jules. Her response was instant. 'Yes... Can...'. I'm such a sucker. I know the shots suck but I still buy them. Anyways... after downing the jug of beer, we were pretty drunk. We decided that we've had enough. As they were slowly but surely lighting up the place, we made our exit. Jules didn't want to have supper so I tah pau'ed some Bah Kut Teh. Heavy supper at 3am. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be a fucking fat arse.

Karen & Jules. Eh... Jules is smiling. He usually only smiles when he's drunk. But I'm pretty sure he was bloody sober then.


Another bottle bites the dust.


Beer at Waikiki...


More beer at Bamboo...


The "Please buy a shot from me cause I'm a chick and you're a hamsap desperate man who won't mind spending 20 bucks to drink shots which actually consist of 1/50 alcohol and 49/50 juice" gal.


Rice and Bak Kut Teh... the before pic.


The after pic. Every grain of rice, every piece of meat, all consumed in record time. I'm always hungry.
