hahahahahahahahaha…… good times!
it all started on tuesday, june 13. bee broke up with me that night and my whole world came crumbling down. i had known that it was coming and still it was a huge blow for me. anyway, i met mba gina the next day, wednesday, and told her what happened. then she told ericka. and they came up with a mission to cheer me up. first, ericka took me to pisa café that night and bough me ice cream =p and then on friday, they took me to this party.
we went to mandarin hotel after work. it was actually a private party held by mandarin hotel for their corporate companies and members, but i got a special treatment called the broken hearted privileges. kinda. hahahaa…. twas total funtimes. food was everywhere. booze was everywhere too =D we ate and ate and ate. me and ericka joined this silly dance competition, but we didnt win. i was too shy and ericka was like "this aint my song". but it was all good. we cheered ourselves up with a glass of red wine. yummy… =p~
the party got hotter and wierder. and we laughed harder. as soon as i finished my wine, two guys in sombreros appeared out of nowhere with a bottle of tequila and sliced lemons and stuff. i asked for a single shot, mba gina too. ericka got one-and-a-half shot [she had had a single shot earlier, before the dance], then there was monang with a double shot, lala with a single shot and a bunch of other mandarin peeps. we cheered and gulped and the tequila was gone. hooray! tequila burned my throat. whoa! by then our laughter was like even harder. and we all danced to "terajana" and a few of other dangdut songs. and i just couldnt stop laughing.
a few songs and a few games after that, joe the host announced that there was one last competition, so if you wanna win anything, it was the last chance. and it turned out to be a drinking competition. they were looking for 4 people who could take in as much as tequila as possible. we ushered ericka to the floor. mba gina was like "dont worry, well take you home." lala joined too. then a bunch of other people. there were like 10 or 12 people on the floor and joe was still asking other guests to join. i dunno what made me, but i decided to join the competition too =p i stood next to ericka. without my shoes. and without my brain, obviously. the men in sombreros poured double shot of tequila in those tall skinny tequila glasses. each of the contestants took one glass and a sliced lemon. joe counted from 3, 2, 1 and off we go. daym! my throat, my nose and my eyes were on fire. "more?!" joe asked. "sure," i said. some contestants decided to stop. they returned to their seats. then we continued with the next glass and the next and the next. after the fourth glass i wanted to quit, but i just couldnt walk back. ericka was like, "de, im drunk. nanti jalannya gandengan ya?" i just giggled.
after the fifth glass, there were still 5 people standing, but there was no more tequila. there was no more wine. they only had beer. so they gave us a glass of not-so-cold beer and we had to drink up as fast as we could. whoever finished first, won. the beer tasted horrible, but i managed to gulp it down and come out as the third winner. dizzy dizzy dizzy. ericka and i could barely walk. after receiving our gifts, we sat down on the floor. we just laughed and laughed. we didnt know what we were laughing about, but we kept laughing. then ericka bent over and coughed, and when she lifted her head, it turned out that she wasnt coughing, she was puking. she puked on her own skirt, in mandarin hotel grand ballroom! i paused, then laughed hard. hahaahahahahahha… it was too funny. somebody from the hotel, somebody important, brought us two cups of hot tea. by then mba gina had returned and she forced us to get up and go home. i was still able to get up and walk by myself. i was even dancing =p when we got out of the building i was frantically searching for a toilet, i was about to shoot. we went in the other building, into a bar and directly into the toilet. ericka burried her head in the toilet, and i puked in the wash basin. major mistake! flood! not a good sight.after that, it got worst.
i made friends with the bathroom floor. hahahahahahaa… it felt soooo good to lie down on the bathroom floor. and i got erickas approval for that =p apparently the 11 shots of tequila, 1 glass of red wine and 1 glass of beer started to kick in and chased away my sanity. ericka and i got totally wasted. we kept laughing and puking and talking. mba gina was pretty busy trying to get us up and go home. but it was mission impossible because we just didnt have the strength nor the willingness to get up =p then more people came. some just watched, others tried to help. even the GM came and had his men brought lime juice for us. hahahahahaaa… someone called a taxi and mba gina had ericka carried to the taxi. then me. it took 3 guys to carry me =p one of em said that i was heavy. i told em that i was only 60 kilos heavy. and he said "no way. youre at least 95." hahahahahahahaa… cute guy =p
long story short, ericka and i got to her place safely. thanks to mba gina. we crashed naked. twas the most peaceful sleep for me. ever. and in the morning, ericka and i got a new enemy, headache. whoa! twas an awesome awesome night.
i wanna give my shoutouts to mba gina who made everything fun and fun, and for supporting me. to ericka for showing me the funnes of getting drunk. cheers! and for the ice cream. to jamil for all the comedic wisdom and the "numpang nangis" times. to bee for showing me the ups and downs of life, and for being the best i ever had. even if you forget me in the future, aku sayang terusterus. to vertical horizon, linkin park, avril lavign, kelly clarkson, roxette, ungu, samsons, nidji, ada band and other artists for giving me the theme songs for my current condition and emotional state. last and not least, to… tequila! ngga kapok
