The last Friday (6th Feb) was the best time in Zouk we've had in a long time. As with all other nights, we were out to make it memorable. However, something made this night vastly different from all others. This night we had a secret, a secret so huge that if it was made public, we would all have a genuine reason to be drink driving that night. Some people, me, had foreseen the future and had decided to grab a cab down instead.
My gf Kelly, was never a big fan of celebrating her birthday, she kind of adopted the "If someone plans something we'll do something otherwise fuck it we'll watch whatever's on the telly" mentality towards it. Well to be fair, nothing was planned that night with regards to intentionally celebrate her birthday and she had made me promise not to let anyone know it's her birthday on the 7th of Feb.
Kelly: Please hor don't tell anybody it's my birthday
Me: Why?
Kelly: I don't like to celebrate, you know what!
Me: But i like to drink!
Kelly: DON'T TELL THEM, THEY WILL MAKE ME DRUNK!
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA......ok i promise
She wasn't wrong, the last birthday party i attended with them, i nearly couldn't make it home from Sentosa. It was Chanel's birthday that night and we were going crazy in a resort she had booked. Let's just say they had a fully stocked bar. And these people really know how to party, they will find the most obscene reason to party, Farewells, Anniversaries, Birthdays, New jobs, New Home, etc.
Anyway, as we made our way down to Zouk, Kelly was incessantly reminding me not to reveal her secret and i made no attempt to silence her knowing full well the futility of my argument. Also she was telling me it's her last night out with us before she dives back into her books for the next few weeks, which in my night calls for a reason to make it a good night out.
We started the night in Winebar just chilling out and playing guessing games. Everyone was making Kelly drink as it was her "last night out", i secretly smiled and struggled to keep the secret.
Things started to go abit more wild once we got into zouk, for one they were having one-for-one for a jug of Rum all night and at one point we had about 6 jugs on our table. Then Justin bought Kelly a shot of Flaming Lamborghini much to her protest, and while she was running around hiding from the waiter Justin started singing her a birthday song in mock humour, but still so ironic.
Kelly: You told him it's my birthday?
Me: No, he's just kidding lah.
Kelly: Hahaha so coincidental meh?
Then she decided to share the joke with Justin.
Worst.Decision.Ever
Kelly: I'm going to tell you a secret.
Justin: Ok.
Kelly: But you cannot tell anyone or make me drink anymore.
Justin: OK
Kelly: Promise?
Justin: Promise!
Kelly: Actually today is my birthday hahahahaha!
Justin: What?!
Kelly: Yah today is my birthday!
Justin: EH TODAY IS KELLY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!! *Shouts to everyone*
All: Serious?!
I was helpless, and did the only logical thing i could think of.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I had no idea why Kelly thinks that Justin would keep her secret, but i was a little glad cos i knew the party is just starting.
Brenda immediately bought a tray of Tequila shots and Denny brought on more jugs of Rum. When those were finished Chloe bought a bottle of Moet while Ari bought another 2 jugs of Rum. Me and Denny were discussing what bottle to open, while Justin bought 2 more jugs of Rum. I bought another bottle of Moet with Orange juice.
I'm sure somewhere down the night we had more drinks which i am unable to recall now. But by the time we ended the night i blew 78.6 at the breathalyzer test outside Zouk, while Chloe blew a shocking 100.1 (The legal limit in Singapore is 30-35).
