I realised over the past two days that there are more friends in my social circle who read my blog than I had thought. So there’s the weekend that I can’t blog about, and there’s the weekend that I can. Either Perth is really small, or I’m really famous. I think it’s the former.

What can I say about the weekend then hmm? The common theme was alcohol. My Friday night out started at 10:30pm with drinks at Kitty’s house. Then her, Tham, Kayo and I headed out to Rise for the therapeutic sounds of loud and heavy, and repetitive electronic beats. Most exciting part of the night? Kayo accidentally stabbed me in the forehead with a straw. A straw! It left a small reddish circle, almost like an Indian bindi. The woman’s got mad Shaolin skills.

The next morning? Headache. Though here’s a tip for the drinkers amongst you: a bottle of Gatorade before sleeping eased the hangover a lot.

Saturday night we attended a farewell dinner at New Shima for Andrea who was moving to Melbourne. There were 10 girls and 4 guys on the table. I sat in the middle with most of the girls. The conversation that got me riveted throughout the night? Double-sided tape, breasts, bras and something called “chicken fillets”. It was awesome. Oh the food was excellent too – I can still remember the tastes of the ebi maki and beef tataki. Drool.

After dinner we headed to Metro City to party the night away. Entry was free before 11pm. Sweet! We decided to go to the upstairs bar which was dead except for my group. We had the dance floor and the bartender to ourselves. It was great. A lot of drinks were consumed and I remember doing the spinning sprinkler dance a few times which my friends thought were hilarious. I think there might be some photos on Facebook coming up soon. Don’t ever say I don’t do anything for youse!

Then, somehow we all got separated from each other. I think that’s par for the course of a night out that involves alcohol. When I decided to leave Metro, I offered a drive home to a girl whom I’ve met on the night. Nothing happened. And I’m not proud of it.

Around 2:30am, I found out that Kayo and Kitty were at Dragon Karaoke so I decided to join them there before heading home. I bumped into a cousin there and had one more drink for the night. Over the next 2 hours, I talked shit with him, the girls, their boyfriends and then right before we left, we had instant noodles. Nissin Cup Noodles FTW!

This morning? Headache.
