The Place: Jbar at M Hotel, Kbox
The Occasion: Me and Xiumei's 8th Year Anniversary
Last saturday on the 14th of March 2009, me and Kelly decided to celebrate our anniversary in a different way. Traditionally, anniversaries are intimate affairs that are usually celebrated privately between 2 individuals. However, this year we decided to do it in "Style", we have the spare cash, we have the party people, we have "more" party people, we just needed a place to go crazy.
After rounds of discussion we decided to throw it at Jbar, for those that are not aware, Jbar offers one-for-one on bottles everyday before 8.30pm. So if you buy 2 bottles before that time you get 4 bottles which is a very good deal. On the Friday, Kelly, Justin and me headed over to Jbar to purchase the bottles first as the promo doesn't apply on weekends, thinking we could finish one bottle and leave 3 bottles for the party on Saturday. That was when we realised that Jbar has extended its promotion to weekends as well plus on weekends you don't even have to purchase them before 8.30pm. On top of that, Saturdays are One-For-One all drinks all night.
The horror of the approaching night finally hit me. I'm sure i can handle 3 bottles of Chivas, but one-for-one all night, i'm pretty sure i'm not driving home. From what i know Jbar has this crazy-huge-ass martini that comes in a giant cocktail glass that looks more like a soup bowl, with the lychees skewered in "satay sticks" going for $50. If i'm not wrong i will have to deal with a couple or more of these monster drinks.
Anyway back to Friday.
So midway through the first bottle of Chivas, Yanie and Cizarre decide to pop by which was great considering it was only 10pm and we are almost finished on the Chivas. Somewhere between toasts and toilet trips, Kelly mentioned that our anniversary should have been on the 13th and not the 14th while i argued that it's on the 14th and not the 13th.
You see on the 13th of March 2001, I went out on a date with Kelly, somehow we ended up at Parkway Parade or more specifically Roxy Park (Yes, the place we skate all the time). I remember asking for her hand at about 11pm, she agreed after 12am so doesn't that justify that our official anniversary should be celebrated on the 14th?
Somehow, this explanation doesn't fly with the gang who argues that we should celebrate our anniversary on the 13th AND the 14th. Two celebrations you say?
What the hell Celebrations = Drinks right? At least thats what's written in 'my' dictionary.
So we slugged the remaining bottle and screamed in awful synchrony to the performing band. What a scene we were, i tell you, in an upmarket place no less. So we decided to avoid the nasty stares and hop over to Acid Bar where we know our awful singing/shouting would be more appreciated. We have already built a rapport with the crew at Acid Bar and were sure that we would be able to get a table upon arrival.
We arrived only to find Acid Bar packed to the brim with less wild revelers. The place was filled to the door with people and they even had bouncers at the door to discourage more sardines from entering.
Fuck it we thought let's go somewhere else where we can scream ourselves hoarse.
So we made our way to Kbox Cineleisure, resisting the temptation to purchase over-priced whiskey we smuggled in our own whiskey bought from the 7-11 downstairs mixed with the coke provided by Kbox.
Coke + Whiskey = Bourbon Coke.... I fucking hate the taste of bourbon, give me a glass and i would turn around to run faster than you can say "Yo!" Bourbon tastes about as bad as a walrus's butt smells as bad too.
Just as well, i needed to sober up before driving home so since i hated bourbon i decided to detox by drinking Hot Milo, the whole night. When you're starting to sober up and the people around you are getting more wasted you feel like a paraplegic at the olympics.
I hate driving.
