- Arrived at Flinders Street and made our way to Rooftop for lemon lime and bitters. Climbing those stairs to bring us to the 6th floor was DEATH. thighs started burning at level 3. we made it to the top to find a long line to get in. the line went down the stairwell. fuck that, we had happy hour at lions to get to.
- Made our way to Lions. it was such a good night, very nice weather, kinda reminded me of being on holiday. ahhhhh. we got there about 6pm and made the most of happy hour til 7pm. Since it was 2 for 1 basic spirits, we aimed to do shot after shot. We gave the bartenders something to think about when we asked for " 2 basic spirits, something fruity". They ran outa options so we started mixing our own drinks. here are our findings:
Vodka + Raspberry = Good
Vodka + Pineapple = Delightful
Vodka + Cranberry = Suicide
The cranberry one literally brought me to tears. There are photos to prove it.
We downed so many drinks in such a sort amount of time that the bartender figured we were tryna make the most of happy hour. They kept count for us, and enjoyed watching us down these experimental drinks.
After several shots we were totally relaxed. Phuong and I were taking photos of each other, trying to make the ugliest face. trust me, its harder than it looks. The alcohol clearly made an impact on our behaviour when we started doing running laps around Lion's circular bar. We timed each other, carefully dodging people and bar stools that stood in our way. Each time we got a faster time. Our final record times stand at:
Jen: 11 seconds
Phuong: 12 seconds
Until next time. The manager saw phuong running her last lap and asked the bartenders "how much have those girls had?". we were warned by the bartenders to "keep it low". since happy hour was over we decided to leave for some nummy dumplings in chinatown. yum yum.
Fastforward the night and we ended up at a Korean Resturant called Hallah. I continued to drink what they koreans called 'soju' that u mixed with beer, it was beautiful because it didnt taste like anything. I had to make my way to Crown where vman waiting for me. It was nice of Lan and Frankie to drive me to crown so i wouldnt have to walk from QV market to crown, which in my drunken state wouldve taken 30minutes.
We got lost on the drive there so i insisted that i'd walk my way there. and i did. it took me 5minutes to get there. Vman was at a place called The Pub. There was OKAY rnb music but it wasnt long til it was closing time. That meant everyone had to go home. BOO. i was still hyperactive. after a quick pit stop at footnam for some porkrolls, i was home at 4am.
