The Crazy Drinks at 29


The moment we left the house to head out for drinks with the friends, the man made me wear a paper bag over my head! He didn't want me to know where we were headed. All right! For once, I thought I would be a good sport and entertain our friends.


When the car stopped, I had no idea where we were.
 I could hear the man and the valet giggling. I wore the paper bag all the way to our table. All I could see was the ground I was walking on. Luckily I wore flats. When the friends whipped that paper bag off my head, the camera flashes went off and they got priceless photos of the look of astonishment on my face. I was duly rewarded with an expansive view of the sprawling gardens at oosh Dempsey.

The night started off innocently enough with easy vodka and whisky. The friends were laughing, trading stories, gossip and juicy bits. No one was running after me for mad toasts. As the night wore on, the friends got louder and became really curious about why I was still standing straight and looking stone cold sober. I desperately wanted to run away. But mercilessly, they grabbed me back and knocked me down with vile flaming drinks.

Openly smirking, the friends were completely tickled to see me all wide-eyed, flailing arms and trying to squirm my way out of the drinks. Thank goodness I puked out the alcohol before it could set in. I didn't suffer that excruciating hangover pain. Proud to say that with a bounce and a skip, I did not stagger out of oosh!

You crazy people! I love you guys, but you're so not doing this to me next year!

The tanglin village looks like a good place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life sometimes, and yet be in sg. maybe i shall try it out one day.
