Champagne Supernova
Went to Box Office to celebrate Mel's birthday on Thursday night.
Box Office is the name of a pub in Tanjong Pagar.
It has a very nice setting inside, with 'Classics' being the main theme.
Posters of movies that are way back beyond our generation are displayed all over. There are also 2 LCD TVs showing some of the films back then.
Probably the reason why I could observe as much was because the whole place was empty except for us being the only crowd.
Apparently, the pub is managed by Mel's family.
So basically it was her special day and everything else was on the house.
Brandon, one of the bartenders working there, Ivan, Sean (who is also a bartender there), Mel, Guoliang, Joey, Me and Xuguang.
Mel was carefully pouring the champagne into the glasses while being watched by 2 guys at the sides.
Being a big man as Sean is,
it is only natural for him to be consuming more.
That's why he looking at Mel and ensuring that she poured into his glass which is specially reserved for him and placed on the extreme right.
It took Mel like 1/2 hr to be pouring into 7th glass and thus making others becoming impatient. Even the 2 persons inside the TV have been greatly distracted and focusing all their attentions onto Mel.
Xuguang had lost his voice and couldn't really talk.
He had a very bad sore throat and the reason causing it is still unknown.
He had seen a doctor and was told that he may not be able to talk anymore for the rest of his life. Obviously it sounded like a lame joke to me when I heard the news. But I was further convinced that it could be real afterall.
Things are turning around for Xuguang.
He used to have a very good complexion last time.
Check out his latest pimple plantation being harvested after a brand new season.
He used to be a very talkative person too.
But now he is completely silent and only communicate by means of SMS or sign language.
There are 2 possible reasons as to how he became a mute.
Either he sold his voice to a Witch Doctor so that he could find a girl of his dreams on land to kiss with, before returning back into the ocean empty handed...
Or he could have done a number of Deep Throats for Blacks at Gun-point.
Xuguang tried to offer me a cigarette but I refused.
Brandon was saying that if I took a single puff, he would gulp down a bottle of alcohol straight away.
'What kind of friends are u all?'
I raised my voice.
There was this saying some time back which someone had told me.
Only a friend would offer a cigarette.
If you don't know the guy would you even talk to him?
It is only when I know you as a friend that's why I bother to ask u if you want a cigarette.
If not, I wouldn't even care about your existence.
Having this 'Quite True' logic in mind,
I reluctantly accepted the challenge.
But instead of inhaling gently, I gave an even bigger puff.
Those kind of puffs which the Big Bad Wolf uses so as to blow houses down.
I blew my lungs out and the cigarette almost exploded. There was a striking light coming out from the tip of the cigarette and I stopped in time before it went off like a dynamite.
During the later part of the night, we played a very silly yet funny expression.
We took turns each, with our faces squeezed at the cheeks and having lips looking like a Goldfish.
Then we had to say stupid things like;
'My name is Chubby.'
'My dad is Chubby.'
'Even my DoggggGGGG is Chubby.'
It was a fucking funny sight to see someone doing that.
We laughed our hearts out.
After all the drinks and merry, we ended the night at Boon Tong Kee.
Had some fine meals and we headed home after that.
The following day was my company's annual DnD.
But fortunately my stomach turned out to be rather unpleasant coincidentally which made me reported sick next. If not for the combination of cakes, pizzas and different types of drinks I had at Box Office, I would have gone to an event on Friday which I am very sure I wouldn't be glad to be at.
Cheers Mate.
