No Finer Time To Be Alive

In druken stupor, i struggled to bring mike home..

mike brought me to this small cheesy karaoke pub joint..65 lighthouse.... the nonchalent dragon dance troupe downstairs pounded their drums and gongs hard.... it was difficult to understand the auspicious timings of the chinese....10.28 pm. at least I can attest to the decent quality of the pub's sound proof windows..

life stories were exchanged inside...either the KJ is sleeping or the set is screwed...i heard this song 4 freaking times in a row... and mike pointed that the KJ was cute... mike is in fix... he is begining to enjoy life.. he is not ready for commitment...it happens..not everyone grows up quickly...."relax..go with the flow.. it will be fine".. not everyone is ready to go with what father heart tells them... father heart is surprisingly an accurate guage but some of us succumb to mister mind or maybe brother cowardice...

clifford and lee joins us...i could sense that lee was reluctant to come down to boat quay..clifford is one happy fellow this week..finally gotten rid of his macro-manager..i will miss his presence in office...well we could still meet for drinks.... we started the card games .. i drank much as usual.. mike sang a tune and he is pretty good singer..mostly in tune and pitch....steady mike(no pun intended here)...

1am i think..we ended in another pub with a pool table... sparse crowd entertaining themselves..the service was quick to get the fast drinking buck and then it ended prematurely..or rather we were attended to only when there was money to be made...our request for 3 songs were conveniently parked aside.. lee is ruffled..this young, determined lass made sure that her voice was heard in song and public... reminded me of the old vc.. my last visit to this pub for sure.. i am a easy man to please these days..just provide me with resonable service if you want my business.. word of mouth spreads more quickly than you think.. you brown shirt clown !! lee was observant to note the color...

man.. this interpol band is brillant !! turn on the bright lights.. ! yeah !

we had a fun time teasing lee..of course we knew she had to go off.. i was feeling empty after... did not eat much in office...is beer a good substitute? bartop dancing was quite fun to watch at the devil's bar... tights...curvaceous bodies in motion and we got 3 jugs for 47 bucks (?) was it a mistake...more beer...gosh.... by some strange coincidence, the clown in brown was queing behind us...wonder how lee would have reacted....

mike took a picture of clifford and me to send to his girlfriend i think.. proof that he is out with the guys...hahhah.. i was dancing away by meself..high and oblivious of the happenings around me..might have step on a few toes.... when was the last time i was so high..beer taken in the right amounts can be a good replacement for smoke... the recent high profile bust is reminisce of another chapter in my life... glad for the experience but no thanks...

mike lost his way and was refused entry by the big man in black..said he was too drunk..got me bags and left after that...clifford asked he was sending regina (?) back.. was there something going on behind my back (pardon the pun)..hahah.. the mercedes cab driver must have been quite amused by mike.. mike kept asking him where he was headed... "boon lay lor..blk 169.." the driver repeated. mike was trying to play cool at his block... refused to let me know which unit he stayed in.. i made sure he opened the door from afar and made my way home..

...woke up stoned..... i can't recall how i paid the cab driver..was surprised that i still had money to do so after paying for entry and cab for lee..was it fun last night.. it sure was.. good clean fun
