Wat do you get when u mix more then 10 toxic cocktails, a triple vodka lemonade, a jaggermeister, and a shot consisting of absinthe (abstinence), kahlua, whisky and vodka?

Well...u get one sick but very happy chick! ( along with a high risk of alcoholic cirrhosis and acute liver failure...see i have been revising)

Last night, in view that my birthday falls right smack on the 1st day of exams for the normal population (my exams arent till the 7th of Feb) we had my birthday celebration yesterday.

So we had dinner at Bistro Verde, this cute, quaint little restaurant on the Green ( the old main street of Aberdeen).
Invitees were: Dana, Noura, Thomas (Tom), Laura, Grant, Shuwen, Peixin and Xuhan.

So it was a nice group of 9, all close frens and aquaintances. The menu wasn't exceptionally good, but the food was good, though the 2 lads who had ordered the tuna steak were kinda regretting it as the tuna tasted as though it was a few months overdue and still travelling along the high seas to near fulminancy.

But it was great, the bread baskets were great, the bread was freshly baked and stuffed with nuts and oats, i had a lemon sore fillet thingy stuffed with crayfish and salmon, and I traded half of this with Laura who was having a salmon steak thingy....haha...share and enjoy ne.

We had a bottle of red and a bottle of very nice new zealand white wine.

so after dinner, peixin and xuhan took off and the rest of us went to the Basement.

The Basement is the place to go if u want to get the best cocktails and shooters.

So off we went there, and then being the birthday girl they started buyin me cocktails and drinks and the whole lot which was grand and i swallowed them like a trooper i must say.
yah...for those who know me, it takes alot of alcohol before I begin to feel even the least bit tipsy, and i'm talking like the equivalent of 3 triple vodka lemonades and a tequila lemonade.

YEah...so I was fine even after like 10 + cocktails ( They were really cool, like lynchburg lemonade, bounty hunter, giant grasshopper, T.V.R, Screaming Orgasm, Bullfrog....blahblahblah)

And then just as the place was closing, noura decided that we should have SHOTs....
Yup, and she got us jaggermeister ( i dun even know wat's in it) IT tasted foul, then shuwen already all high and happy after 2 cocktails went up on the pool table and DANCED...and noura decided it was good to do a copy and up she went as well but she went up on the table with an overhanging lamp and well naturally banged right into it! HILARIOUS!

Then shuwen went to the bar and ordered us another round of shots... this process was in itself funny, she was already so drunk that when she found the menu for shooters at the end of the bar she came running towards me squealing and laughing as though she had just won a gold medal in the olympics, and she proceed to lean over to the barkeep and ask him to give her 5 of the most alcoholic shots in the house.....Man.....

Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder....and it burns ur gullet, ur tongue and ur brain gets fried as well....

yup...i dun noe wat that shot contains but absinthe is definitely in there...the green evil glow...

kids do not try this ever.....

Then all hail and happy, we left the basement and proceeded to the Priory, which is the club in a church ( yup, you'll find lotsa these places around). Hehe...as we were walking from the Basement, we were sharing with each other wat glasses and cups we had nicked from the place.
Shotglasses, wine glasses, beer glasses the likes....hehehe....

Ok...so u see, I DON'T DANCE at clubs...never have....but somehow by the time we reached that place we were so far gone, I was dragged to the dance floor, and somehow I think I danced...
but after about half an hour on the dance floor, I was just like ''' ooh...look at the pretty lights going round and round...." and Dana had to pull me to the table where I just collapsed.

They attempted to stuff water down into my gut but that made it worst (or actually better) coz...well...let's just say, the Priory is now well marked with my cocktail...hehe

yup, so the night ended with me being brought home by Tom ( Dana's BF) in a cab, whilst Dana went back in to save the other 2 delinquents ( Shuwen and Noura) and arrived back in a cab with Noura....

and so we were all safe and sound and very happy!

HAPPY 21st to ME! ( a week from monday but still....)

Thanks guys for making it this great!
