Silence before the storm 2

Truly enough, it was a really silent Friday (3/7/09),too silent in fact that we didn't realise the storm that was in store for us on Saturday........

Friday.......

i met up with Gunny and Kent and we went down to Mr.Pot's to hang out for a bit and had a couple of cold beers coz we all didn't have any plans and frankly we were tired that night and i had to wake up early the next morning for some overtime work at my office. So we were just hangin' around like mindless zombies just sipping on our beers and watching wrestling - Note 'sipping' not 'drinking' - and we were trying to figure out whether there's any other function we could maybe crash coz we're out of our own functions and Tongue was out of town so we thought that this weekend we would probably just hang out at my crib and watch some DVDs........and with that thought we parted and slept for the night.

Saturday.......

I went to work as usual and came back at about 3p.m. and met Kent and Solaris at a Malay food joint and chit chatted for a bit and found that they too had no plans and they were thinking maybe they wanted to hang out at Sunset and they asked me to join them to which i declined coz i needed to catch some shut eye first at which point Kent said to me...."why u wanna sleep now?....its not like we have any plans for tonite"... to which i replied "Remember bro, we never plan, we just party..." and we left it at that and i went back only to find Gunny waiting for me to hang out at my crib.

We watched some movies until 7.30p.m. and Gunny was getting ready to leave when i received a call from Kent saying " Dengan ini , saya mengumumkan bahawa sesi Parlimen kini bersidang".....hahahhah....it was like the Thundercats call sign....

Both me and Gunny drove up Tanjung Bungah only to be informed that Kent and Solaris was waiting at the Merry Tide behind Naza Hotel so we turned back and met them and i asked Kent what the plan was...........at that point even, there was still no plans yet...... but great news....we got a bottle of Vodka.

Kent asked me whether i wanted to drink it at home or somewhere else and i told him that we'll go and pick up the bottle and we'll port at Mr.Pot's.....at least that was the plan.

We all headed down to Glugor to pick up the Vodka while Gunny was in the midst of rolling a spliff......when we reached the intended location, Kent went up to pick up the Vodka and me and Gunny lighted up a joint while waiting for Kent to come down......when Kent came down , we were surprised to see him bringing 3 bottles instead of one. It seems that there was some extra bottles that he forgot about and decided to take all of it. 1 Vodka, 1 leftover JD, and 1 Arak Bali which was something new to us and was given as a gift to Kent from a friend who went to Bali.

Apparently, this Arak Bali is mixed in all the cocktails in Bali and frankly speaking we were intimidated by the packaging as the box had these pictures of some sort of traditional indigenous demons and beasts and that really had me worried because none of us were familiar with the drink and we're afraid it would be some sort of potent liquor from Indonesia.

Anyway, we went down to pick up a chick and went to Gurney's Mr. Pot. Me and Gunny was already stoned from the spliff when we started drinking and quite a number of people joined us, Solaris decided to join us and Runy and Ray Jay and Ronnie and a friend of Gunny whom we all just met and by midnight there was the One Armed Warrior and Peas just joining us.

We finished all the drinks on the table while some of us was gettin' baked at the same time until the One Armed Warrior and Peas asked us to follow them to Central Pub and continue.....mind u this was already 2.45a.m......so we all went and upon reaching, we found ourselves overwhelmed by buckets and buckets of Royal Stout.

We all just drank and drank until i had to restrain myself because i was driving that nite and upon seeing me slowdown my drinking tempo, Runy and the others started to hassle me and i turned around and asked Gunny to "Standby" so that he'll be steady enough to drive to which he replied in a very slow and drunken way with his trademark smile...." Hang nak aku standby?......hahhahahhahah" .......then i knew i had to relax so i stood up and was swaying to the music that they were playing that nite and i sat for a while and slept drunkenly on the couch for a bit......

Woke up after about 20 minutes and found that the party was still alive and kickin and it was already 5a.m.......then the place was closing and everyone wanted to continue elsewhere what with a balance of 7 bottles of Stout that we "tapau" and took back to Mr.Pot Gurney.........

On our way me and Gunny dropped the chick and we watched in glee with her drunken antics trying to get back home and then we had to drop Kent off at his place because he had some fake shit to do....(Sorry Kent, but we know u just wanted to sleep and play with Madam Palm and her five sisters ....) and we decided to head over to Mr.Pot to continue the drinking binge........

We drank and we drank till it was 7a.m. when we decided to end the party and everybody left while me , Gunny and Ray Jay headed to Argyll Road for some nice Nasi Tomato for breakfast and left for home at nearly 9 a.m.

Sunday...

Me and Gunny slept till around 6p.m. when we received calls that Kent and A.J. was coming to pick us up for some light dinner with Runy joining us after a date and i also received a call from Ecchoe saying he wanted to meet up with us.......we all had dinner at my crib and at about 8p.m. decided to close the havoc wreaked weekend at the Merry Tide behind Naza with a bucket of beer.We all as a group closed the nite at around 11p.m. while i personally closed at 2.30a.m........ ;p
