4 Bars and a McDonalds
There is something I noticed that in my last month here n Singapore. I have ingested more alcohol than I have in the last year. This comes after months and months of clean living.
Last Friday, I was already on my way home when I ran into some colleagues. They invited me to join them for dinner since they were trying to kill some time before an event they were supposed to go to. I ended up going home at 4 AM in the morning.
First we started out in this seafood bar called Oosters where we shared 1 kg of mussels and a sausage platter. I had a raspberry flavored beer since I had no intention of getting drunk. Plans do change all the time. So at around 9 PM, they asked me go with them to the garage party which was somewhere in the Orchard area. On our way there, we dropped by at a 7-11 store to get some drinks. I ended up buying a small bottle of Absolut Kurant vodka.
Once we got to Orchard we met up with some other people. Well, since we got there quite early, they decided to hang out at a McDonald's nearby. Except that we weren't really eating at McDonald's. We were drinking Jim Beam bourbon with Coke we ordered from McDonald's.
The garage party didn't turn out to be that hot, so we ended up leaving after only 5 minutes of dancing. The guys decided to go to Bar None in Marriot Hotel. On our way there, I was already drinking a Bacardi Breezer. Once we got there, I got a tequilla sunrise and headed straight out for the dancefloor. I don't really like Bar None that much but I had more fun this time because I was in the middle of the dance floor. That meant no one was going to talk to me. The music was pretty okay so I ended up dancing my heart out the rest of the time I was there.
At 2:30 AM, my colleague called me up to tell me that some of them were at Brix in Hyatt Hotel. So I ended up dragging my already very drunk colleague a couple of buildings down the road. At 3 AM, I found myself downing some tequilla shots and finishing some of the beer.
I still managed to get home in one piece after that. In fact, I was even able to bring a colleague home safely to her house since I live just one block away from her. Sometimes though, I wish I cold just stay away from the alcohol for good. But it's still an improvement. At least I no longer do this in the middle of the week.
