Ace Throws Up

Ace wiped a tear from both his eyes after opening his presents at Ondergrounds. It was so cute, he tried to hide it! hehhe. This is what we got him:

1. Stainless steel alcohol flask pack including flask, two shot glasses and a fully functioning mini flask keyring
2. A gold money clip (like mine :)
3. A stainless steel tin wallet for cards or cigarettes with 'Ace' engraved in cursive script on the front and back
4. Cuff links with a hand of cards, the Ace of Spades being the most visible

Man's Best Friend

Money Clip

Ace of Spades cufflinks

This was the first Saturday night I spent completely sober in a long ass time. I volunteered to be designated driver as our driver tends to get drunk by the end of the night. I also wanted to not drink today and save some money & I wasn't gonna pay a rip off for drinks at Ondergrounds especially that the drinks are watered down. Everyone seemed to be having fun around me. Hugging me, lying on me, dancing and running off to do shots.

Hmp. Did I really need alcohol to have fun? I was feeling this way for most of the night. I was sitting by myself, trying to make 7 letter words on Words With Friends when I made friends with another designated driver. We counted down the hours until this place was going to close. He escaped when Josh was kicked out for being too drunk. Now there was only me.

When the DJ's changed and the music sounded more tolerable I got up and had a dance. The crowd was fully into this music, everyone around me looked like they were having a good time. There were groups of 5+ guys just dancing with each other in a circle which I found cute. I looked up to see what this DJ looked like but there was no one at the booth! It was a CD on play!!

Kathy: Hey this music's alright!

Jambi: Yeh coz its a CD!

Thank god for the cd! It saved my night.

They started kicking us out around 2am. Jambi's friend, who worked for the police breath tested her with a legitimate breathaliser which told her blood-alcohol was well over the legal limit. That just confirmed that I was going to drive. Ace also had a breath test done, which couldn't be read either because his blood-alcohol levels were too high for the machine or because he just vomited.

I had to get used to jambi's car. We took footscray road way home and stopped by Ballarat Road maccas. I stuffed my face with a small McChicken meal. Delightful.

So on Thursday we went to Nyala Restaurant, 131 Brunswick Street Fitzroy. Helen, joel and I met at Jwow first to pre drink and we were tipsy as we left. We arrived at the restaurant by taxi to have exotic dinner with Phuong, Josh, Zub, Rasheeda, Iman, Aaron, Ty and Rodney. We drank south african wine and shots, and ate some meat with yellow rice. Helen and I were all shits and giggles on this alcohol. It was fun!

The party proceeded to Black Pearl which is a bar on the corner of Brunswick street and Johnson street. It was a poshy little place with leather chairs, fancy cocktails and creative/professional bartenders in formal wear. There we joined with Dave the Magician, Mel, Simon the Magician and Gerard Butler. We were drinking all sorts of concoctions til about 3am. It didnt occur to me how much i had to drink until the next day when Aaron said I promised to do a whole 24hour in a Japanese accent. Did I?? I said he was taking advantage of a drunk person by putting words in my mouth.

Helen was my wing man that night, and in fact, most of our drinking nights. We were throwing up the West side

"Aint no party like a west side party

coz a west side party dont stop"

and taking each other's side when one got into a playful argument. Our

"We love Joel!

We love Joel!

We love Joel!"

chant turned into a

"We love Aaron!

We love Aaron!

We love Aaron!"

when joel left. I made friends with the blonde bartender who thought my attempts to act Japanese was cute.

Helen: JEN! Stop bowing, you're not Japanese!

Ian: Oh no it's okay. I like it. It's cute.

Cute gets you things like three vodka and apple juices after they have stopped serving drinks. I told him to come visit me and helen at Jwow on fridays, (as I tell lots of other people to visit me at Jwow on fridays). Apparently he came into Jwow TODAY which is a Saturday to say hello. Neither helen or I were there. Sorry. I did say Fridays. However, we will be seeing Ian again this Thursday when we will do a repeat.

We had a late night kebab with dave and simon the magicians before catching a cab back to helens. this was probably about 4am. I found a warm red beanine in helens room which I put on and crashed on her bed. The room was spinning. It was spinning bad.

Hello hang over on a Friday morning.

I had to wake up at 11:30am the next morning but I wasnt complaining knowing that Helen, Aaron, Iman, etc had to wake up for an 8am start for work! Helen turned up to work drunk and was still feeling hung over at 9pm the next day. Iman woke up at 10am and she started work at 8am. She came into Jwow wearing the same clothes she had on last night, did she get home last night at all?????

Iman's work friend: You look really fucked up. Did you get laid last night???

hahaha!! she said how lucky she that today was Casual day Friday. ahh such good times...

So after work.. we wanted to go out but where? we had no money, we spent it all last night. Damn. and nothing was open at 3am. We kicked back at Jwow and drank some staff wine. Ahh my price range: FREE. It was me, helen, yao, simone, aaron, ty, mebz and amin. we went through 4 bottles of red wine. We were taking turns playing songs from youtube. Ty requested 'Hey Ma' by Cam'ron. Oh that takes me back.

helen and I caught a cab back to her house and we crashed pretty soon after getting home. we woke up at 2pm on the Saturday then went for some Morning After Pho at Footnam.
