Alcoholic night at Arena - Nice!

This is the first time that I drank so much! People keep coming over even after I was out and resting by one 'quiet' corner and toasting me. This is nothing like the leisure drinking that I usually have with my friends!

Seeing the arrival of the proudly standing bottle of 4.5L Chivas Regal was enough to shock me. The fact that they just finished a 2L bottle of Chivas, and will finish this 4.5L bottle in less than 2hrs rendered me speechless. Shooters came and gone and we still drank! These people are already obviously drunk, but they still continued.. Do they hate their liver that much to drink like this almost at least a few times a week?

And one important fact I found out about men, they are simply 'stinko'! Using their drunken or high state as an self-imposed legitmate excuse, they try to get so close to the ladies. And they are selective even in their state - those ladies deemed too easy, they do not want. On the other hand, those more decent ladies like myself and Janice, we were the target of endless toasting and teasing. At least they were not 'too' touchy, just more flirty. Our mistake was that we were too accomodating/sporting - we took the challenge to finish our glasses of hard liquor at one go when toasted - thus resulting in the unglam hobbling around Clarke Quay to find bottled mineral water to rid the numbness in the brain. The most expensive bottled water I have ever paid for - $5, the fresh air and the ceasing of toasting made us human once more. Phew...

But I must admit, I really enjoyed myself immensely. The music was fantastic and the company spontaneous. I realised, the most important thing about going out on such nights is that it is necessary to have another girlfriend, in this case, Janice, to be with you so as to ward off each other's unwanted attention. We were so protective of each other that those guys all commented that we are like lesbians. Rest assured we are perfectly aware of our sexual orientation - Janice is married and I love men too much to consider the other gender!

To my opinion, it is alright to play and drink, as long as I know how to take care of myself and not allow people to take advantage of me. So in case Jiesi is reading this, dun worry about me ya!

Penang

Away day to Penang! I was so looking forward to this trip! Apart from the wonderful company, the trip was entirely paid for! Taking the SQ flights, having yummilicious food and drinking bottomless wine, beer and hard liquor - this is what I call L.I.V.I.N.G! Love it!

The hotel that housed the 14 of us was none other than the Golden Sand. While we would very much prefer Rasa Saya, the GS was not that bad. The beach was fantastic, with stallions galloping away on the sand - how absolutely charming!
The second dinner that we had was at Rasa Saya. They even have live performances where the band went from table to table and sang any requests! Amazing! Isn't this the scene from the romantic movie where the guy proposes to the lady?! Awwwwwwwww...

This trip was not much into shopping, since we only had that limited time to spare. However, this trip was the first that I pampered myself that much! Manicure, pedicure then finally followed by a full body oil massage!

This full body massage was a first for me. I had to strip to my undies - really quite embarrasing.. But once you got over the naked sensation, the massage was ultimately relaxing! Heard that Bali has even better and cheaper spas and massages! Well.. Hehe... Maybe next year we can have our away day there!!! Yeah!

NEVER have I ever not look as cute as the guy beside me.... Faint... Mr Jason, he looks innocent and naive acting cute.. Sigh.. Time to brush up my cuteness again!

The 2 days 2 nights trip, although short, was immensely fun! I simply LOVE holidays!
