The weekend has arrived. As usual, the gang plans to go out for drinkies. We had no idea where to go. Sigh... KL is kinda far... so is Sunway. We would all still prefer to drink in PJ. But where to drink? We don't want to chill in a pub. We were thinking more towards clubbing. Honestly, TTDI plaza is getting kinda boring. We've been drinking there every week. I think we drink there so often we're regulars in all the pubs. So... where to go leh?

Jules sms me and suggest we hangout in Bamboo. I thought it was a brilliant idea. That is the 1 place in TTDI Plaza that we do not frequent. So it's been decided... 10 ish at Bamboo. I get an sms from an unknown number (I changed handphone and lost some of my contacts). The sms I received wanted to know if I'm in TTDI. I asked if it was a chick or a dick. If it's a chick I'll come over but if it's a dick... I'll probably wait till 10 to go to TTDI. I get a reply stating "Chick". So I agree to go over and meet up in Eckywoobee.

I get to Ecky at about 9.30pm. The "chick" was no where in sight. But I see Ricks & Freds sitting inside drinking beer. So I join them. 30 mins later... the "chick" arrives. It's actually Jackie. Aiya.. I thought who. Anyways.. she just pops by just to say hi lar. She then went back to Waikiki to drink with her colleagues. So as Ricks, Fred and I are drinking, the gang starts to grow as the drinkers come in 1 by 1. Cindy arrives... Vince arrives... Jules arrives... Rams arrives... Sam arrives.

Since we have such a big gang, we thought we better to to Bamboo lar. The place is absolutely packed. But as long as we can get a table then it'll be okay. We walk to the entrance. We ask for a table and state that we wanna open 2 bottles or whisky. The dude gives me the drink list and bottle price. Fucks... damn kau expensive. We have always know that Bamboo and hQnine are both Chivas outlets. We were ready to order Chivas instead of Black Label to save some $$$. But bloody hell.. the price for 2 bottles of Chivas is RM839. You gotta be shitting me wei. I have never seen anywhere sell such expensive bottles. When we saw the price, we were like.. "Fuck it lar. Lets go to hQnine". At least back at hQnine, we know how much the bottles cost.

I order 2 bottles of Chivas and they have a promo. Slightly cheaper than opening 1 bottle at a time. 2 bottles cost RM599 nett. Now that's more like it. Imagine.. a difference of 240 bucks compared to Bamboo. We don't get our usual table as it is late and someone is already sitting there. But I think these high tables are actually nicer as a lot of us like to stand while drinking. I think next time we'll request for these tables instead. So the usual lar.. down down down... After 3 rounds of downing the drinks, we've consumed 1/2 a bottle of Chivas. Debs arrives a bit later looking fine in her little red dress. Danny and Rose arrive later in the night as well. It's actually Danny's birthday so Rose makes an exception and allows him to drink for the night. We were really happy to have him drinking with us. It's been a while since we last had a drink together and the dude is always good to have around. Really fun guy.

Fred opens the 3rd bottle which he is buying because the last time we drank at hQnine, we didn't ask him to pay for it. But soon after he opens the bottle, he chaus the scene. He's suppose to meet up with his girl somewhere. As usual.. don't really remember what happend in hQnine. Just a lot of drinking happening. With Danny around, we manage to finish the 3rd bottle. Ramesh suggest we move to Waikiki for a more chillout drinking. We all oblige and make our way there. Ramesh opens the 4th bottle. Later in the night, Wendy arrives fashionably late after her friend's birthday party. I think we were all pretty high by that time. Danny had wine before he came over. A bunch of us had a few buckets of beer before the whisky session started. Although we were pretty wasted, we still managed to drink a lot of the 4th bottle. I think we drank 8/10 of the bottle and we all surrendered and no one wanted to drink anymore. We were doing the 5 second pour whisky straight into mouth thang. It wasn't pleasant. Not at all when you're this fucked up.

We actually drank till 4am and a lot of the guys were getting tired. Those who wanted to makan drove to Murni and those who were shit tired went home. If I remember correctly, Vince, Jules, Wendy and I went to Murni. As usual... I order my Claypot Lou Shue Funn. By 5am, as Jules, Vince & Wendy were chatting away, I excused myself as I wasn't feeling too good. Too much drinks... too little time. As usual... Good times...



This is a picture from out past outing in Coco Banana. I re-posted this picture so that you'll understand the reason the following pictures look the way they look. As you can see, Debra is doing the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Debra".

Here, Jules & Vince are trying to reenact the moment.

Here I am jumping on the bandwagon and doing "The Debs".

"The Debs" spreads fast and Rose and Danny have no choice but to go with the flow.

This is the side effect of "The Debs".

Sam joins us from drinkies. He does pop by PJ for work once in a while.

I guess we can tell who is pitching and who is receiving here.

Cindy looks like she wants to take a shit. It's either that or Vince didn't take a shower before he came.

Yayyy... This photo is in Waikiki. We were pretty high by then.

Yeah.. high we were. Or at least I was.

The King & Queen.

The movie gang. We pretty much go to GSC every weekend. We just watched 2 movies on Sunday evening & night.

Alas.. the alcohol has kicked in and Debs is doing her signature move.

When the alcohol kicks in... so do the smiles. A potential Colgate advert here.

And the hugs...

Yaay... Hot Wendy is arrives...

A group pic of a bunch of drunkards.

Vince really drank shit loads that night.

Gals looking hot and Dans can't resist checking them out.

Yeah.. I heard you. Pour more drinks. I know...

Getting cosy.

I have no idea what Vince is trying to say.

What Ramesh does best... making people drink. But he sendiri never drink.

Danny looks wasted man...

Yeah... It's confirmed.

Debs is looking at the exit and planning to make a dash for it. "There's the exit sign... If I run now I'll be able to stop all this mad drinking"

Tissa arrives damn late.

The blur gang. Everyone looks wasted.

Gentleman Tissa lights the ciggy for Cindy.

Ramesh also gone case liau.

I really cleaned up the Claypot Lou Shuee Funn.

Jules tearing up the all tissue paper in sight... as usual...

All in all another great night. The crowd was big. But it's the 1st time we ordered 4 bottles. Crazy man... Crazy....

About a month back, Lite FM had an announcement. The Lite FM RM60,000 Headhunt. When I saw this, I thought they were actually hiring. I kira-kira... that's 5k a month. Not too bad mar. So I thought.. I'll just apply and see if I can get an interview. And about a week back... I was listening to Lite FM. It was only then that I found out that the Headhunt was actually a radio game show. The rules are like this... They call the contestant at 9am and give you a topic to research. 30 minutes later, they call you again and ask you a question related to the topic. If you get it correct, you stay in the game and you win some cash. The amount of cash depends on the difficulty of the question. The cash winning ranges from RM100 to RM2000 (as far as I know). So basically... as long as you are correct, you'll get a topic and question which you will try to answer every hour from 9am - 6pm. The person with the longest winning streak wins an additional RM10,000 on top of his or her winnings.

So... On Wednesday afternoon, I get a call from Lite FM. The dude tells me that I have been selected to participate in the Headhunt Game. He told me that the DJ will call me either on Thursday or Friday. Sweet... I've never participated in any radio game shows before. As the game starts at 9 in the morning, I told myself I better get up early on Thursday so that I'll be ready and not in a blur state when I answer the phone.

Thursday morning... I set my alarm at 8. I wake up... shut my alarm off... and go back to bed. Fuck it... No assurance they'll call and I think I love sleep too much. My mum wakes me up at 11 ish. She wants to go for Fish Head Noodles in Damansara Kim. Well... my mum's stomach is more important than a game show. So I get up... take my bath and take my mum out for lunch. We do finish lunch pretty early and I am able to get back home by 1pm.

I sit my ass in my room the whole day. Chatting on msn and listening to the radio on Astro. I must say... I was getting pretty bored. I called Ah Chuan & Sam for snooker. Since it was already 4 ish, I didn't expect Lite FM to call. Mana tahu... when it was close to 5, I get a call from them. The guy tells me that the DJ is gonna call me in 15 minutes. As the broadcast is actually delayed by a few minutes, I already know that the contestant before me is gonna screw up on the next question and it'll be my turn.

True enough... the guy screws up. A few minutes later.. I get the call from Lite FM. My topic is sports. Cools... I love sports. I was sure I had this in the bag. 30 Minutes later, they call me up and ask me the question.

DJ Dude: In what sports do you use a "Sand Iron"?
Tiong : Huh? 10 Iron ar?
DJ Dude: No... Sand Iron. Pasir... Pasir...
Tiong : Er... I have no idea. I guess I'll have to go with golf.
DJ Dude: So is golf your final answer?
Tiong : Yeah... golf.
DJ Dude: Congrats... you have won yourself RM300.

Okays.. for me, that was fucking awsome. I just won Rm300 bucks chilling at home. It's already 6pm. I call Ah Chuan and tell him snooker is still on. Sam drives me there and we get to the snooker centre at 7. As Ah Chuan has not arrived yet, Sam and I start 1st. The DJ guy actually calls me when I'm in the midst of playing snooker.

DJ Dude: So Tiong.. I'm calling to see how you feel about winning RM300.
Tiong : Er.. I'm pretty happy about that.
DJ Dude: So... do you have any stratergy going into tomorrow's Headhunt?
Tiong : Er... Not really.
DJ Dude: You sound rather confident. I doubt you'll make it pass 4p.m.
Tiong : I guess I'll just have to prove you wrong.

I think I just fucked myself by saying that to him. I'm sure he must have made it his personal mission to make sure I fuck up the next day. I am usually humble. But when he said I won't pass 4pm, it triggered my self defence mechanism and I gave him the responce I would usually give. Anyways.. what's done is done lar. No matter what, I got 300 bucks easy. So I continue playing snooker.

I set my alarm for 8am. I can't really wake up. I was feeling really tired. maybe it's the hours and hours of snooker and the late night out. I wake up at 8.45, don't bother taking a bath as I'm afraid they'll call me. At 9 ish, I get a call from the DJ. My topic is the human body. They give me 40 mins to do my research. Honestly.. I didn't do much research. I spent most of the time asking people to listen to my manly voice on the radio. Most of the time, I was chatting with Sandy on MSN. So what I did was I used Google and Wiki to find topics related to the Human Body. Read a bit here and there. And I keep the pages open. At about 10, I get the call.

DJ Dude: Hi Tiong... I'm sure you have done your research... blah blah blah...
Tiong : Yeah... blah blah blah...
DJ Dude: This is a RM2k question... What is the biggest bone in the human arm?
Tiong : The Humerus.
DJ Dude: Congrats Tiong.. You have won RM2k. Woo Hoo... Yeeaahhh...
Tiong : Serious? Excellent... Excellent...

Okay... problem here was I didn't sound too excited. I was like Sweet.. Okay.. Excellent... And you know what... 10 minutes later, a guy from the station calls me. he says,"Tiong.. Would you mind sounding more excited... you know.. for the radio.. for the Headhunt game...". I was like oh.. okay... Har har... I think they had jus about enough of me.

Minutes later.. I get a call. The 3rd topic. It's food. Yeah.. food. I was thinking.. hey... I can mar. I love food. I love eating. And I eat everything. So I read a bit on food. But it's so wide. What the hell am I gonna read about? No worries.. just chill, relax and chat on MSN lar. And so.. I get the call...

DJ Dude: Where does the food Cassoulet originate from?
Tiong : Kasule?
DJ Dude: Yeah... Cassoulet.
Tiong : Er... I have no idea.. I'll have to go with Kenya.
DJ Dude: Tiong... you have been fired.

Fucks.. Damnit... Har har. I couldn't search for it. That's because I searched for Kasule. As you can see... they both sound the same. All I got on Google was something Kenya something. If you don't answer within 30 seconds, you get fired anyways. So I thought... what the heck, I'll just tembak. So.. screwed. Cassoulet is actually French for Casserole. The T is silent same as Chevrolet.

Well... guess I won't be able to get my hands on the RM10k grand prize. But RM2.3k for a 2 hour job seems pretty decent. Eh... RM2.3k for a 2 hour job is... Fucking Awesome. Hehehe... Overall a good experience. I must say, I really enjoyed this.

Guys... check this out wei. Damn farnee... Thanks for the vid Abu...

Tuesday night. Jules and I have agreed to go for a simple & cheap dinner. We've been spending so much on drinking we're pretty much saving on food to drink more. We meet at SS2 mamak and order some hawker food. I actually eat damn a lot. My bowl of Curry Mee was like a fucking mountain. Jules had a Kuey Teow Soup. I wanted to makan some satay as well so I ordered 15 sticks. I think I had most of that as well. After dinner... Jules tells me.. "If you want to grab a drink after this I can layan you for a while lar". I obviously agree lar. I was suppose to meet up with Cloe later at night. So Jules and I drive to TTDI Plaza.

We walk around... Waikiki again? Nah... hQnine again? Nah... Perfume? Nah. We end up going to Wabisabi. The current offer... 120 bucks for 10 bottles of Heineken. Okay lar.. 2 buckets it is. Cloe arrives a little later. Cindy calls me with the intention to go makan. I tell her I'm at Wabi and there is food here as well. Obviously, she makes her way here lar.

It's a slow night. All we had was 4 buckets of beer. I guess it's okay to have slow nights once in a while. At least we get to talk and not slur...

Slow nights... no smiles...

Being forced to drink after losing a card game.

Monday night. Had a dinner date with Gee Gee. She's an x colleague of mine. Very cute. Well... she is only 24. Oh yeah... when she smiles she looks like Beyonce. Anyways, promised to buy her dinner. There is this pork place in Bandar Utama. It's called Ribs (I think). It's actually the 3rd time I've been there. The food is good lar. Best of all... succulent porkie pork. Nice. We ordered the Reverse Burger & Pork Loin Chop in Apple sauce. Dinner was excellent. We chatted... I told her how much I have been drinking since Friday (drank shit loads on Saturday but I prefer to skip that story) and how I am not gonna drink this week.

After dinner I wanted to go buy something in 1U so she teman me lar. While walking around in 1U, my drinking buddy Ah Chuan calls. "Come Puchong and drink lar" he says. I tell Gee Gee that I need to go liau. She laughs and reminds me of what I just told her during dinner. I smile and nod. Not gonna drink this week. Yeah right. As Jules would say to me,"Stop lying to yourself lar".

Anyways... I drive to Puchong. There are 5 guys drinking there when I arrive. The group grows and shrinks. People come and people go. We play drinking games and I feel fucking bloated. I think it's because of the heavy dinner I just had. We end the night early. If I remember correctly, I actually left the pub at about 12.30. I calculated the number of jugs of beer we drank. Since I arrived at the pub, we ordered about 20 jugs. Before I arrived they were already drinking. So I have no idea how much those insane guys had the whole night. But kampung friends will always be kampung friends. They are drunkards like me, and they will always have my back. Always good to hangout & drink with them.


The "Reverse Pork Burger". This is amazing guys...

Pork Loin Chop in Apple sauce. Another one you guys should try.

Sotong & his neighbour. Seriously.. the guy in white stays next door to him.

Don't ask me why everyone is doing the thumbs up thang.

Cheers to another good early drunk night.

It was a Friday night. My memory is pretty bad. I don't really remember if I drank the night before. I guess I'll have to read my own blog to remember. Anyways... I meet up with Jules at Waikiki Too for a beer. When I arrive, I meet Jackie. She pours me a glass of Whisky and we chill and chat. Jules soon arrives and we walk over to the bar. We order a jug of beer. Vincent soon arrives and he doesn't want to stay in Waikiki. So we suggest that the next location we should check out is Perfume. We go there but we're unable to get a table as the place is packed. Last option...hQnine. Jackie tags along with us. 4 of us get our usual table there. I order a bottle of Chivas (it's cheap... only RM329 for a bottle). After a while... friends start pouring in.

Fred, his chick Shirley & Nadine arrive. We pour them drinks.. we down our drinks. And a bit later in the night, Ramesh arrives as well. We finish the 1st bottle and we order another. I think this is when my phone camera went on overtime. It's amazing when a night of drinking can result in over 120 photos taken. But of course... I filtered most of it as some were blur and some were taken in wierd angles. And I can safely say that it's all Ramesh's doings. He's one camera trigger happy drunk.

I don't remember when we opened the 3rd bottle of whisky but we did. Man... mabuks gila. The end part of the night was and still is kinda blurry to me. All I remember was one of the bar gals grinding me (no complains here) and the whole bunch going for supper. One thing's for sure, we all had a really good time. I guess that's the way it's always gonna be. We party so much, being in a pub or club with nice setup is irrelevant. When you were younger, you would look forward to clubbing in nice places. But nowadays, we need alcohol... loads of alcohol, to get us high and merry. I guess this is the way it's just gonna be...



Lets start with a picture of the deco of the place.


Jules still sober and the chick trying to act cute.

Nadine and I. We're obviously sober still.

Jules jumping on the act cute bandwagon.

The 1st of the eventual 3 bottles we consumed that night.

Laid back player Jules.

Being laid back and having the "tidak apa" attitude turns the gals on.

Thanks King Jules for showing me the light.

Yeah Jules... the gals dig it.

But we all know who my priority is for the night. Hehehe...

Fred, Vince & Jules starting to feel the alcohol kicking in liau.

That's because we have been doing this the whole night.

Which results in poses like this happening. Hahaha...

Jackie and Rams still sober. One fella drink for a while liau then went missing. The other came late.

This looks wrong.... and right at the same time.

Yay... what a happy gang.

We can tell from this pic that Fred's pretty mabuks liau.

Jules and I are the hairy gang.

A picture of Nadine and & I. And yes... Ramesh manages to spoil the picture with his middle finger again.

Fred's still drunk. Ramesh is getting there.

Cheers to an excellent night.

We take a group pic before leaving hQnine.

Ricks pulls some random gal walking around in a purple dress to take a pic with us and she obliges.

Mabuks already... go makan. Vince having a claypot mice noodle (direct transalation of "Lou Shue Funn")

Ricks soberest amongst us all. He came late mar.

Who needs food when u have Nadine.

I'm sending everyone back to their cars after supper.

Don't drink much with Fred, Shirley & Nadine. Fun bunch of people. Guys... do join us for more mabuks session.

Dear readers.. I'm sorry for the lack of updates. The internet at home is down and I have to resort to going to one of those Kopitiam to go online. Can't blog here as well. I guess I'm only comfortable blogging at home. Last Friday was wild. Loads of pics to upload. I'll call my internet service provider and try to get my internet up again soon. I'll update my blog then.. gimme a day or two.
