Nightingale

11:11 PM

Two very talked about events. Expansion of social circle. Perhaps more acknowledgement of alcohol tolerance. And not forgetting, a whole lot of laughter and fun. My week was something else this time around. Work load has increased and so has the marginal level of my confusion and inability to keep up. But I'm catching up as best as I can.


These two events however, (ie: see ticket in hand and writing on wrist. LOL) managed to add some vigour to a week of study. My only problem with frenzy nights out is too much hype and expectations are bestowed upon it to the point that the disappointment that ensues can hardly be avoided. Thankfully, these hip and happening events lived up to its names'.


The first was Red Room Revue held in the city. It was a burlesque and pole dancing performance that Jie Huei's school of pole dancing was having so they could attract more people to join the classes. I had the time of my life to be honest. Wasn't too happy with the cheap seats we were 'blessed' with but the night was one of serious entertainment. Definitely a first.


Anisha (SandhuSan) and Boon.


Me and my bourbon and cola with Mel and her ?!??!


this lady was the emcee. I forced her to take a picture with us and the first thing she said was "lemme flash my boobs a little" with the most pleasant smile ever. LOL.
Mel, Dallas and Jie Huei. Small world. Dallas and Mel realized that they were both Ritumen and went to schools that were situated side by side in Suva, Fiji. I would've never guessed that he was from Fiji. He looks so Malay! And he came up with a stage name for himself : Frank the Spank.
Me, Huei and Nish. The flash ruined the classiness of the bar.

And the lot of us again.... I think I'm slowly Malaysianizing Melitta.

Yes. The sucky view from our sucky seats. And this was taken standing up. Exactly what you get for Malaysian timing. We missed the opening. The girls performed to almost all the songs featured in Chicago and they teased and half stripped and flirted around with the guys sitting up front.
Highlight of the night was still the pole dancing. And speaking of highlights, the pole actually FELL when one of the dancers were gyrating on it in full speed. It was SO scary. Especially for the people up front. At first I thought it was some sorta gimmick but then the show was put on hold and they had to call an ambulance so that the man sitting up front who was injured could get treatment. Scary stuff. Funny but, I was in shock.....
I couldn't get a nice shot of them doing the pole stuff coz they were always moving but I tried.

And this was the best I could do.

During intermission, more picture taking moments.

And the show continues. Spotlights.

Okeh. Don't look too good here but everyone else looks nice. And that's Aroha, Jie Huei's teacher who fell with the pole!

Friday night was MOS night. I wasn't supposed to drink but it all started with this......... and then there was no stopping any one of us

Nish's awesome place was the perfect venue for drunken games.

And look at those pretty shot glasses! How can one refuse to take a shot in those glasses?

this was taken when everyone was nice and sober. The bottle of Smirnoff in the middle kicked sobriety in the ass.

Here's Abby, taking a shot. She's uber cute and doing four different majors!

Nish, perfect hostess.

Me taking a shot of wine. When i felt I didn't have it in me to do any smirnoff shots any longer, I begged for them to lemme continue in the game with wine instead. We were playing a drinking game. Maui's dies are the bomb. Next to me is gorgeous Nabita

You know what's weird? Before getting to Nish's place, the only other person I knew amongst this lot was her. Neither of us knew the other. She was like the common factor. But we all got along almost immediatly! It was kinda scary. In a good way. Coz at the end of the day, everyone watched out for each other in the club. Frm left, Nabita, Terry, Nish, Maui and Abby.

This was after we were drunk. ANd after Abby played with pepper spray and made everyone choke. =0

erm... yea

uh huh...

Clearly no one knows what 'lala' poses look like....

Just before leaving for the club to be MOS-ified.

The guys had to have one last shot together.

Halfway through, Nish got real sick so we had to send her home but we came back and continued dancing til I literally felt like dropping. I don't think I've ever been that drunk before. Coz I've never felt like puking and I really wanted to that night. But I held it in and danced it out. Nabita was sweet. She carried a doggie bag for me just in case and we stayed close to each other all night.

turns out, MOS music is not really my kinda thing altho when there's good company around, nothing else really matters.

the crowd. the club was pretty wide and spacious. it's where UMSA will be havin it's foam party this year. I might skip out on that. Clubbing just takes too much outta me. =P

Need to study now so til next time! =D

I'm sorry, I have to be really straight with you here. And if I sound harsh/patronising and/or condescending, it is not intended that way at all. I just care that's all. I don't get the drinking and pls don't go get drunk cos you'll lose your self-control and once you've lost that, you're fair game. Sorry but I just have to be straight about it. I can't do it any other way.
