New Year Resolution

We've all agreed. We all need a change in lifestyle. As all you should know by now, my life, and my friends lives are revolved around drinking. The amount we spend on drinking on a weekly basis is crazy. Our new year resolution, drink less. I know it's hard to believe but we are sorta determined to change.

Anyways... Chirstmas eve was nuts. From my previous entry, you would know that we were all pretty wasted (especially Vince). That was of course a Thursday night. Some of the gang had a break on Friday and some didn't. We were going to hangout on Saturday. Initially, the Dons had planned to have a nice dinner somewhere in KL. I wanted to makan with them as well, but my friend May is here from Penang. She came along with her 2 friends.... one from Penang and one from China. Yeah... China... and no.. she is not a prostitute, nor is she a masseur. She is just a friend of May's from when they were studying back in UK. Initially, we were all suppose to have dinner together. Mana tahu, last minute, she canceled on me. They were just up for clubbing. Since Debs called me earlier asking me to go to her place for dinner (yeah... she actually cooked), I decided to pop by her place instead. I pick Su Lee up and we make our way to Debra's crib.

Su Lee and I bought some alcohol and took it up to Debra's place. I should have taken a pic of the food she cooked. She made some pasta. I must say, the dinner was actually really good. We were truly impressed with Debra's cooking abilities. The pasta wasn't very cooked though (my fault.. I checked and told her.... Can liau lar. Cooked liau). Despite the raw-ish pasta, Terence had seconds. We had a few cans of beer. They did not want to go clubbing at Zouk. So when it was 10.30, I made my way to KL to pick the 3 gals up. I arrived early as usual. at 10.45 to be precise. So I call May and tell her that I am downstairs. She tells me to give them 15 mins as they are getting ready. I sit my ass in the car and wait. 2 of them eventually come down.... at 11.20. 35 mins of waiting, still okay lar. But the China chick is not ready yet. We we are forced to wait. She eventually comes down at 11.40. So basically... I waited close to an hour.

The Dons had agreed to meet at Zouk. I initially told them I would be early and I will try to get a place in Phuture. Mana tahu, I ended up being the last to arrive. Phuture was already packed to the max. Even Velvet was absoultely packed. The gang ended up sitting at the small bar in Velvet. It was kinda crammed and I hate drinking like this. People walking pass you, pushing their way through. I sulked with every nudge and didn't drink much. At the end of the night, We consumed about 3 bottles and a few shots. I was bloody sober and pretty eager to leave. I drop the gals back at the hotel and scurried home. There was a road block. Lucky for me, I was sober and the police waved me through. Got home at 4, sober and bored.

Fast forward about a week, it was the 3oth and Jules and I planned to catch a movie. Wednesdays are crazy as people try to save a few bucks and line up like mad just to get a ticket. When I saw the line, I called Jules and told him to screw the movie and just grab lunch. He suggested we watch the movie at TGV instead. We made our way there, but the movie we wanted to watch was only on at 5.30. So confirm lar... no movie for the day. So after lunch, Jules and I gatal-gatal wanted to go drink. Hwe was free as well. So we all agreed to drink at Library. Jules and I got there at 2.00 and drank Hoegaarden. Hwe arrived pretty late and Chuen dropped by as well. By 6.30, I had consumed 6 pints.

Since no one wanted to have dinner with me, I bought some BKT outside my house and had it at home. I then went to my room, took a 30 minute nap and then showered. At this point of time, I had a slight headache. I was suppose to drink with Tissa and Vince in some pub. I was having second thoughts about going out. But Tissa then sms'ed me and told me he would fetch my ass. So I agreed. Didn't have a lot at the pub. It was kinda boring. After 2 buckets of beer, we left. Tissa and I then went to shot some pool at Wine @ Nine. Victor and Jules joined us a bit later. I had 3 more pints of Guinness. The result of the pool games? Teluk Intan kicked PJ ass. Hell yeah...

New Year liau. 1st of January 2010. I meet up with the Dons in Uptown for dinner. We sit and chat. We were talking about our drinking style. Our drinking is pretty lateral most of the night. What happens is that we drink... and drink.. and drink... and all of a sudden, the is a major shift in our drinking style. There is a point where the drinking just goes 90 degrees straight up. Everyone just starts ordering and pouring drinks. We all start drinking like mad and we end up not knowing how much we have had.

As we were sitting in Papa Rich Kopitiam, we agreed that we should know when to say stop. We also agreed to drink less. Maybe cut down to once a week. With all future drinking habits agreed, we made our way to Gashaus to celebrate the new year. Should we open 2 bottles? No lar... lets have beer. Slow night lar. We end up drinking 17 jugs (15 we pay, 2 on the house) as well as some shots. Bugger... drink beer also can end up RM700+. We should have just opened 2 bottles of single malt Whisky for 500+. Oh well... it was a really good night in the end. Although I woke up the next day with a hangover and feeling absolutely shitty...
