The Best Game Ever!
RSVP, which is an event organized by 987fm, is a monthly affair falling on the last weekend of every month. The event allows call-in winners to the radio show for a night of mindless revelry together with 3 invited guests. There is no fixed location for RSVP; instead it is more of a nomadic affair bestowing itself across most major nightspots across the island, much like a gypsy herb hawker. One thing that sets RSVP apart from other parties is the promise of good music, fantastic vibes and free-flow of alcohol.
We have become a staple part of every RSVP event.
RSVP April, graced itself upon Rebel at Clarke Quay with a promise of mind-blowing Hip-Hop all night long. A day before the event, I had a life-changing conversation with Justin, as impactful as it is; this is as much as I could remember of it.
Justin: Yoyoyo tmr RSVP
Kenny: Yeah man could be my last night out before exams
Justin: Yo man then we need to go CRAZY!
Kenny: You know ah, we never EVER get mad drunk at RSVP.Justin: Yah man it’s free flow leh dunno how come leh.
Kenny: Yah we always stop somewhere, then when it’s not RSVP we go crazy hahahaha.
Justin: Hahahaha yah siahKenny: We need to make everyone drink, but how?Justin: You mean like a QUOTA ah?
When Justin mentioned QUOTA, bolts of neurotic brain charges started flying around my head like a bunch of migrating geese on steroids. We started drawing out game plans and brainstorming the ways with which we can effectively instill such a quota on the guys.By the end of the conversation, we were enlightened individuals, spatially convulsing and salivating uncontrollably at the promise of THE BEST GAME EVER.I prepared and printed out some charts and taped it against some vanguard before clipping the tags onto some lanyard (I prepared 10 tags in all) I had pilfered from the office. It was beginning to take shape. The child of our devious discussion and brainstorming, the promised one, the messiah that lights our path from sobriety to inebriation, quite simply put, IT WAS THE BOMB! I couldn’t wait to show my creation to the guys, I imagined their faces as they cringed and prayed. We headed out to meet the guys for dinner with a mischievous smirk on my face.At first sight, the guys were blown away at the effort I had taken into preparing the lanyards. I explained the rules of the games to the guys. Essentially the participant had to write their name and age at the top of the tag. The tag is labeled from Drink 1 to Drink 30, all participants had to drink the equivalent of their age by the end of the night. The slowest participants will be made to share a jug of alcohol. Participants are given the chance to reduce their drink count by performing a randomly suggested forfeit that may range from hitting on a stranger (Minus one drink) to dancing on the bar-top (Minus 3 drinks). The exact nature and weight of the forfeit is to be concluded unanimously so the more everyone drank the wilder the forfeit gets. GOOD TIMES.
Denny: Dude one glass is one shot of alcohol leh.
Kenny: Issit?
Denny: Yahlah I was a bartender before leh.
Kenny: So 25 glasses sounds ok what.
Denny: Eh dude, one bottle is 25 shots leh.
Kenny: Wah so 25 drinks is one bottle ah?
Denny: Yahlah, you siao ah each person drink one bottle.
Kenny: Aiyah their drinks diluted one lah hahahaha.
Worst.Mistake.Ever.
It turned out the drinks at Rebel were toxic. We had Screwdrivers that contained no taste of Orange, Cranberry Vodkas that didn’t have a hint of berry, everything on our table reeked of vodka. By the 5th glass, everything caused a gag effect. By the time free-flow ended at 11.30, I was barely halfway into the game; I gazed down at my 12th glass and gulped it down while refraining it from coming back out. We headed to Zouk to continue the marathon.
Zouk was a blur, as people started to drop out and concede while others were puking their intestines out. Although 15 glasses sounds trivial, taken into perspective, it actually means all of us drank half a bottle of Vodka each.
By the end of the night, there was no doubt about it, we just experienced the BEST GAME EVER!
