Officially 21

Hmm... Hee... Ok... So I've finally turned 21. Muahaha...

Remember this entry where I listed my bday wants and dunch wants in case some of you, my friends wanted to get me something but don't have any idea?

So I've got...
w05 mates got me a matching bracelet and earrings.
Grace, Hj, Xl, Yl kindly sponsored part of the MP3 player
Gina was consolidating online order for bags and I was interested in getting one. So she decided to sponsor that.
Bracelet from Liz.
Joe & Yogs got me an Esprit Bag.
Robinsons voucher from Vivian.
Cash!!! Most of my relatives gave me red packet.


Ehhh... Yup... I think thats about all I received for now.

Yesterday after work, Liz came down early to meet me. We went to our usual place and had yummy chicken wings and potato wedges with Carlsberg while waiting for the rest to finish work.

Slowly one by one arrived. Jav, Jerlyn, Cin. It was kinda last minute thingy so many of them weren't able to come. Wes, Jav's friend also came down.

We were playing Bluff and Daidi till bout midnight when they started signaling to each other and all that la. I thought they bought a cake and wanted to smash me with it. Maybe Liz wanted to take revenge.
But the next thing I knew, the bartender came with a cocktail glass containing some brownish drink and a straw without any decorations and stuff... So I was wondering if that was the Flaming Lamborghini?
But according to what I heard, I think it was called "Waterfall".
The bartender tried to light up a drink in a brandy glass but the fire would just die out cause the fans were too strong. They made me go right to the bar counter to drink from there instead. Ventilation still too strong. So the manager suggested that off the fan for a while so that I could drink it up.
Right... Then my crazy colleagues wanted it to look nice so they requested to have the glasses all stacked up while the bartender pours the contents of the brandy cup down. So that the flame will trickle down the stacked glasses and into the cocktail glass.
Scary can? I didn't know how was I supposed to drink it lor... Flaming leh. Will I burn my tongue? Will the flames melt the straw? Like super a lot of questions running in my head.
I only know they kept on asking me to just drink it up fast, don't stop sucking the straw.

I didn't know how many people were watching me drink cause I was like looking at the drink, concentrating and thinking where should I stick my straw but I could hear cheering and clapping from them and even other people in the pub.
Madness!

Quite easy to down it, wasn't a disgusting concoction. Tasted pretty alright I think. Downed it too fast for my taste buds to savour the drink and remember the taste.
But concentrated alcohol heated to its boiling point that just gives like an immediate high.
Then after that, everyone was like asking me if I'm alright or not, drunk or not, can go home or not and all the other questions.
I don't have any pictures of the drink or of me drinking the drink. They didn't know how to use my camera. Since it was a flaming drink, cannot wait and slowly show them how to use it.
=(

Stayed on for a while more before those who had to work the next day had to leave.
Vivian came to join us. But we didn't stay that long either.

Went with Liz to Clarke Quay. I went to this club which I think given a choice in the future, I wouldn't really want to step in to that place ever again. The music is fine, but not the crowd.

Anyway, it was pretty boring, don't think I'll blog much about it.
Here are the pictures taken with my BB colleagues.
