Glasgow, Leicester and a dash of Leeds

It was the weekend and we were due to get our guests. Shirley (Miss Glasgow), David (Mr. Leicester) and on the next day Pok Chien (Mr. Leeds) were to arrive.
It was nice to see them all after quite a while... well actually Shirley is the one i haven't seen in ages where else David and Pok Chien have been down a couple of times.
On Friday night, after a chinese dinner (as usual... but i'm not complaining)... which had really tiny serving portions and a chicken head on one of the plates, we headed off to find a place to entertain our guests. After wandering the streets for a while with the excuse of showing them about, Raymond, Jaycen, Chia Ming, Sandev, David, Shirley, Yvinne and I settled in Yatra Lounge. I've mentioned this place before in my blog, it is almost the equvilent of Red Chamber in Bangsar, Malaysia. It's a pretty cosy place. We discussed a whole lot of rubbish...
Not to forget, My Friend the Racist was there and thie weekend would actually entail part 3, 4, 5, 6... and all about the comments this boy makes. But it is all in good humour.
The next day we had dim sum, the compulsary trip for all visitors to Manchester "TAI WU" dim sum. There was food, laughter and a cigarette which was dipped in chilli oil. (disgusting huh?)
After wandering about aimlessly ( again trying to show them the city), it was time for the England versus the Rest of the World match. We considered watching it in the city but somehow ended up back at the boys' place.
I wished we could have got tickets to go, what other time in your life would u be able to see so many of these people in real life. The people i would have really like to see is Robbie Williams, Maradona, and Giafranco Zola. Tickets were pretty cheap as well, just 15 pounds but they were all sold outtttttt
Being the pig i am, i was hungry even after the dim sum, so i had bought mac and cheese and my addiction (coffee) before coming to the boy's place. The game started out quite interestingly and funny with a bit of falling and a lot of clumping. BUt it got to be a drag after the first half, .. and i was asleep.
Our guest were then whisked of to be wined and dined.. err.. in KWOK MAN. I restaurant here which really reminds me of Malaysia. The greated thing about this place is that it serves food till pretty late. We bumped into our fifth year seniors there which was nice but made me start thinking about the OSCE examination. . . wow.. i'm worried again now.. i should be studying darn it!@~!~!~! why am i such a procrastinator???????
It was time for drinks, talking and games later than night back at the Royals, a site for many drinking parties. Armed and equiped with their Smirnoff Vodka, JD, Coke, RIbena and their 4 shot glasses. Btw, we've got to get them more glasses~~~
Pok CHien introduced a new game to us. I'll explain the game if any of you want to play it with your friends. I have a video of the explanation, i'll put it up later.. (malas~!~!)

THE GAME
Basically there would be a pile of cards in the middle and everyone would be sitting in a circle (duhh!~!~!) . Everyone would take turns opening a card.
Here's what each card means

Ace - you pick one person to drink one shot
2 - you pick 2 people to drink a shot each or you could be mean and dump it on the same person
3 - you drink 3 yourself (ouch~!~!)
4 - you gotta touch the floor, the last one who does drinks
5 - reach for the sky and of course the slowest drinks.
6 - chicks drink
7 - dudes drink (pok chien refered differently, think about it)
8 - make a rule ( something like, you can only call the person by their last name)
9 - never ever have i .... those who have done that gotta drink
10 - category, name a category and we go around the circle naming things
Jack - Rhyme.. say a word and people say another word that rhymes about the circle
Queen- Only say things in the form of a question. You say a statement, you're drinkkin'
King- this was the killer. The first king, someone fills this cup with alcohol, the second follows and the third does so as well. Unfortunately the person to get the last king drinks the whole thing.
An option was extended, those who weren't into alcohol can still play but were offered a pint of ribena. And if that person were to get the King card, Chia ming imposed a toilet ban for 3 hours.

It was hilarious. David found my surname Pius quite troublesome to call and kept asking if he could call me "PIE". The girls tried to get the guys to drink by giving very feminine categories.
David drank quite a bit and turned so very very red. The boys did try to get us into trouble by giving categories like blizzard games.. WHat???? The only thing that came into my mind was a game with a lot of snow falling.. ."stupId"~!~!
It was actually computer games by bLizzArd. I think Chia Ming actually asked for brand names of ping pong Balls. haahaa... people finished naming those at the third person after him.
The thing that was causing most people to drink was talking to much. They kept calling each other by their first names instead of their surname and getting punished.. something like "haha, raymond drinks"
In rhyming, contestent singh or tan actually said newspaper which was followed by a list of idiotic answers including mine.. blue paper.. haaha (green paper, white paper)..
As time went on, people gave up. . . and went to sleep.
I stayed in the living room.. the whole time... i managed to sleep during that time.. with the noise the boys were creating. The last remaining people in the living room were Pok Chien, Sandev, Chia Ming, Raymond and me. I was outta the game.. i decided to observe them...
I fell asleep and woke up to here one of them .. (no names )... was lying on the ground on the top of the staircase.. haha..
At 5 am, it was time to head home.... 5 am`!~!~! well, that's at improvement, the boys have done this till 9 am before.
What a night~!!!!!!!
