Midnight Madness

Went to Ivan's house the night before.
I met up with Ivan earlier on during the evening for dinner at 201. Sean came to join us followed by Brandon. All 4 of us were sitting at the chinese coffeeshop facing the road and slacking away. Xuguang came for awhile too but left for Zouk. It was like a Saturday to us and we were obviously wasting it away meaninglessly. We did plan to do something else like going Ktv or playing billard at Katong but was in vain. Ivan had to work the next day and didn't want to stay out late. We thought about playing cards in Ivan's house and everyone agreed so we ended up there.
Playing cards was boring.
There wasn't the mood for that. We began talking about what games we could actually play and everyone started talking about primary school times. Games that were played when we were kids.
Then Ivan took out his eraser collection. It was a box filled with erasers that have different flags of countries on them. During primary school, the game is called 'play rubber'. We would play with each other by flipping the rubber on top of the opponent's one. If it is fully on top of the other rubber, then both the rubbers would belong to the person who executed the move.
Fucking Old School game sia.
Those were the times.
We were small back then and didn't know the real meaning of 'playing rubber'. But for now, if I were to let others know that I was playing rubber, (especially with 3 other guys in Ivan's house) they might misunderstood for some other activities you know. My girlfriend would probably leave me for someone else too.

All of us were very excited and couldn't wait to start the game.
There were rules made for the game and because of these, there was bound to be disagreements.
Everyone was playing like small little kids like that. Trying to win each other and breaking the rules in order to succeed. I managed to control myself from being too engrossed in it. Sad to say, the other 3 weren't. They began to quarrel with each other whenever they felt the opposite party was cheating. Sean was in my team and we were both against Ivan and Brandon. Frankly speaking, I wouldn't care if I lost the game. At the most, I would learn my mistakes and buy some rubbers so as to train at home.
There was a point of time when they were arguing about who had broken the rules and all. They were so agitated that it was leading into a fight.
A fight due to playing a primary school game of rubber.
Everyone came to realise that it was childish and we stopped the game and started playing something else.
A game which required the loser to drink some water as a forfeit.
Each person has to take a random card and place it on their forehead. One can only see the cards of the others and not his own. The person with the biggest card will be the winner and the loser with the smallest card will have to drink all the water given. If one is confident enough, he can actually pour as much water as he wants. Everyone has a turn in pouring the water before the loser is being determined.
There was once when Sean was confident and poured the whole bottle into the jug. The whole jug was full of water and he was very sure that someone else was going to drink it. He thought that Brandon had a small card and a good chance of drinking the water.
But he was wrong.
Unfortunately, it turned out that his card was the smallest and he stared at the jug of water for a while. Then he couldn't control any longer and burst into laughters. We couldn't take it also and laughed together with him. The jug was fucking full of water and Sean had to drink all of it. And the best part was... he himself contributed most of it. We laughed so hard that even without drinking any water, our stomachs were going to explode anyway. Everyone was laughing away like madmen and it lasted for quite awhile. Even Ivan's mother was woken up by us and told Ivan to keep it down.
Sean drank the whole jug and we continued playing.
The game ended when all the water was finished. Everyone had their share of water, with me and Sean drinking the most. I drank around 1 1/2 jugs of water and my whole stomach was bloated. Drinking so much water was actually good for us, since we don't really drink much usually. We saw that Ivan had those big vases and Sean suggested that we used them next time to contain the water. The loser would have to drink the whole vase of water, which could fill up to at least 6 litres of water.
Obviously Sean was joking. Having to drink all that water from the vase would be insane... and the person might be ending up dead.
Went home and couldn't really sleep.
Had to go to the toilet in between for like 4-5 times.
Felt so much like putting a bucket right beside my bed.
