Bar hopping...

Yeah, it's insane, ive barely joined this company for less than a week, and the folks kinda solicit, drag me out to hav a couple of mugs of beer...

Alright, not that im not excited to chillout with my new colleagues, not that i hate the idea that the company is deprived of female staffs, not that i dun look forward to jz some drinks....but, the idea of a beer gut kinda turn me off...entirely...

Lately, while i was still with SCB ( Standard Chartered Bank), we chillout for happy hour at least twice a week, normally on a tuesday and a Friday...i dun exactly know these two particular days were prefered, but i suspect it has gotta do with the art of 'balancing'...

We normally wouldnt drink more than one jug each, which was the standard as set by my ex-colleague, and yeah, she can really drink, but last friday we kinda got outta control...if memory serves me correctly, i think we had like 10 jugs to b shared among the five of us...alright, it was double the dosage of the benchmark we had set...

And because it was Leanne's bday, the bar manager decided that she will give us a jug of sex-on-the-beach on the house...and so, along with the mixture of beers and cocktails, and some chips and nachos, the blend didnt go down well my belly...

Instead, it kinda went back up...and according to my friends, yeah, i PUKED...AT THE BAR...

Now how embarrassing can that be? after been visiting steadfastly to bar FLAM for the past couple of months, i had decided that im gonna make BF my regular hangouts, at least for HH...coz i aint exactly a fan of Bangsar....skip the racial issue, skip the parking bay deprived issue, skip the not-so-happening issue...im jz not fond of the place...

Albeit all that, everything's changed...due to the fact that im working at phileo damansara, and previously at TTDI, and also becoz my hangout buddies, Leanne and Rex, they are staying in Mt.Kiara and Bangsar, respectively, we hav sorta mark BF as our territory...

i dunno, really...after the puking incident in which i cud hardly recall...i feel ashame going back there...so perhaps we're gonna look for another hangout afterall...

Coming back here, yesterday after work, my colleagues, Jeffrey, Limmy, Alvin and myself, we went to drink at this bar near our workplace, by the name of Matrix...dun b deceived by that catchy-sounding name, the place, as it turned out, aint promising...and by that, i mean nothing is ever gonna happen, no matter how long we would stay there....and by that, i really mean, THERE AINT NO CHICKS...period.

So, after two jugs of tiger, we adjourned to go to Absolute@bangsar...we ordered another two jugs, tiger again....and then i suggested nachos...God bless me, it was the worst nachos ive ever taken in my entire life...the cheese was plain, there was no condiments like Sour Cream and guatemala sause, jz some tomato salsa...

Needless to say, i told the folks that we aint going back there again, though the beers are really cheap, only 20 per jug...we later walked down the road to Castle, another joint in which the others frequent...they knew the manager there, and he recommended this tachos to us, it was sumptious! we thought it would b complimentary, but apparently the manager didnt see it as necessary...

So, we paid the bills, rather tipsy after perhaps more than a jug each...i missed my favourite TV show, Desperate Housewives...i missed the Gym...i missed dinner with my parents...jz so that i can hangout with the folks...

Well, i would say it was worth it...

Look forward to the next HH...till then, let's hold our guts together...
