The BIG Letdown 21/3

Topic 1: St. Patrick's Day!!

In every country, they have their special unique holidays that are celebrated in other places thousands of miles from home. Last Saturday,the pubs and clubs in KL brought the Irish people a little piece of home when we celebrated St. Patrick's Day! The beers were selling at ridiculous prices,so cheap that they make Todi look like a can of Budweiser selling at your local liquor store.3 siblings and a bunch of close friends celebrated St. Pat's Day at Hartamas Square, where they found banners that read, "Drink Up!It's St. Pat's Day!" or "Think You're Irish?See How Far You Can Go With Jugs Of Beer At RM12!!" Clearly at that night,the cops had a handful of people arrested after they failed the breathalizer test. People joked that the cops at Brickfields were having their own St. Pat's celebration. I wouldn't know for sure, I was too busy comparing beer prices.

New Topic: Drinking Corner & Cheap Laughs

All seemed normal for the next few days. An 18 year old girl in Serdang stayed at home to paint,while her bestfriend in Ampang was busy with her classes and thinking hard about the guy she had been flirting with for the past week or so. On the other side of town, a group of HELP students were recovering from their recent test results and planning a spontaneous drinking party.

My good friend (who i used to refer to as Ms.Jay) had called me up saying that he would need to drink to put him to sleep, and on the other side, my bestfriend, Lil said that she wouldn't mind drinking at that moment and explained of her free access to liquor at her dad's place (jealous..), and i was drinking a little too much at the Harith Iskander Stand Up Comedy. Seeing as the fact that I had seen it before, the tickets were complimentary, and they were only serving drinks before the show,i missed 90% of the show,and spent my time standing by the bar, refilling drinks one after the other, trying to keep a straight face.

One could usually hold on to their drinks, but on that fateful night, I couldn't hold on to the same glass for more than 10 minutes. There he was,in red (soon to be redder after a few glasses of free beer) looking at me at the most awkward state anyone could ever imagine. We were both watching the same show, with easy access to free booze, and both our families showed up. I sure as hell wouldn't say it was your good "future meminang" session, especially after Turtle's dad asked me as i was drinking, "Eh, I thought the 2 of you weren't in talking terms? What is this i heard that you fought because of his girlfriend?" I wanted to die on the spot or maybe strangle anyone who heard it. Turtle apologised politely, I ignored him, downed my half full glass, and asked the bartender, "can i get another one?more whisky,less coke." An hour later, I wouldn't have noticed if Britney Spears had run around in circles screaming "I AM THE ANTI CHRIST!".

As i said, I missed most of the show. I ended up knicking off a few cans of beer which are still hidden in my closet, and after i write this blog with the conclusion of what happened within that week, my fingers should be itching to pull the key of the can. It didn't end so well for Turtle and I...Lil and Ms.Jay should know,I sent them vital messages about him at 6am.

Continuing Topic: Womaniser In A Body Of a 19 Year Old Pothead

It is a harsh world for this 18 year old,especially after she encountered a real womaniser in a body of a 19 year old pothead. Honestly speaking it is her fault for carrying on a relationship with this guy especially after knowing his background...but to be fair it does take 2 to tango. So a few days after the Harith Iskander Stand Up Comedy ( it was good stuff i heard),she received a call at 4am,feeling utterly depressed and decided to come clean.But when she asked Turtle, all he could say is "I AM LIVING LIFE". If you can actually put your hand through the receiver,his head would be pulled off.Lucky for him, technology is not so creative. Anyway, turns out, Turtle never had feelings for her, but said "i miss the times that we had together..." Excuse me, my dear friend. Can you make life easier for people?Stop being so bleeding fickle and tell the bleeding truth! 2 minutes later after being ticked off he says harshly, "You know what?I take that back!" Easy. Fin.

So there it is, the harsh ending of Turtle and I. I do admit that i behaved like an idiot at one point. Although i do not regret all the things i have said to him. I have learnt my mistakes,insisting to avoid it if it had to ever cross my path, and i learnt that you do become what you hate. So now we say "pity", not HATE. I feel free now that i have my life back. Life is absolutely fabulous. I never realised that you could actually see cute guys walking down the street looking right at you. I had a good week after that Wednesday morning. Free booze on ladies night, new friends, old friends, and a really cute guy i met behind the camera. =)

- I am Plato, a thinker, and a dreamer.

Night Out In KL

some people believe that when the weekend comes,something interesting is bound to happen.whether you're out clubbing and you happen to meet someone new and interesting,or maybe meet someone you havent seen in a very very long time.i received a phone call from my ex boyfriend,Ed asking me to join him at heritage row JUST because his cousin came down from New Zealand.a motive behind all this?i wouldnt know. I declined the invitation. So the weekend is almost here.The only thing im interested in is to sit at home and have a blackadder marathon.how ironic...they have the same first name.Besides, this coming saturday i might be able to get a job for this company affiliated with Atrium and the challenge is to bring as many girls as possible above the age of 18.Anyone interested?

Last week on Saturday,my good friend Nizam celebrated his 21st birthday there. Syamir,Yanou,Papa and i chipped in some cash and bought him 21 presents. We werent exactly being cheap,just creative. Below is the list of 21 presents he received:

1. A little man with a penis light bulb
2. An ashtray
3. A pack of Sampoerna
4. A lighter
5. A cheap colourful tie
6. A sketch book
7. Marker pens
8. Rolling paper
9. Maltesers
10. Toblerone
11. Bites
12. A razor
13. Aftershave
14. A pack of tasty condoms
15. A deck of cards
16. Key chains
17. Cotton socks
18. A brown bracelet
19. Hotlink top-up rm10
20. A cheap cigar
21. The red paperbag that holds all these items together.

Note: If you plan on pulling this off, follow these tips:

a. Make a budget and stick to it
b. Select items that suits the characteristics of the receiver.
c. Shop at your local malls,things are usually way cheaper. I should know,i bargained like crazy.
d. If you plan on giving chocolates, put them in the refridgerator first.
e. if the birthday boy/girl is planning to get pissed drunk that night,make sure you put it in their car first to avoid missing items.

We had a really good night that night.Nizam and Syamir, as we predicted got pissed drunk. I made alot of new friends from HELP and i managed to get myself a job interview when i already wasnt thinking straight. I spent 40% of the night by the bar, watching another friend of mine work his magic in making one of the best long island ice teas in heritage row. After he slipped a few glasses in front of me, i was already making new friends (people who were standing next to me by the bar) and out of nowhere a guy (probably reaching his 30's)came up to me and said "Hey,aren't you Raelene's friend?i couldve sworn that i saw you at her party last few weeks." Luckily he didnt get it wrong. We chatted for a bit and (as he would say) in common courtesy he bought me 2 more rounds of long island ice tea. We ended up coming across a suitable topic for this blog. "What are the suitable pick up lines for meeting women at a club".

I discussed this among my girlfriends, bi and/or straight. They came up with a whole list of things that they've heard men say to them as a pick up line. I know this doesnt really involve gay people, but the things that they say to each other is pretty funny.=)

This is a list of pick up lines that actually have been used before.i made it a point to tick out the no-no's.

Pick-up Lines Commonly Used At Parties and/or Clubs:

pick-up line no.1
Hey, how's it going? You having a good time? -typical and honest...probably one of the most decent ones

pick-up line no.2
Hey,i see that you're sitting/standing here alone...need some company? - maybe theres a reason to why im alone...because i WANT to be alone

pick-up line no.3
Aren't you (a name)'s friend? - Too common

pick-up line no.4
and if they actually get it wrong they would say "oh i couldve sworn you were (a name)'s friend. But oh well,im sure youre an even more interesting person than her." - no loss for that girl...youre being abit too judgemental

pick-up line no.5
You know,i had to muster up alot of courage just to get me to come up to you to say hi...so...hi... - very cute...it would be better if the guy was cute.

pick-up line no.6
hey there beautiful, need a friend? - that sounds a bit too corny and cocky..what makes you think we'll be friends with you?

pick-up line no.7
Hey, could you light up my cigarette for me please?cuz i think youre on fire. - what the hell are you thinking?

pick-up line no.8
its similar to the one above but only decent men would say this "Hey, you got a light?" and after lighting it up they would say the next pick upline no.9 - the guy could just be asking for a light

pick-up line no.9
so, do you come here often? - common but it starts up a conversation

pick-up line no.10
i like that top you're wearing,where did you get it from? - youd come across as being gay or perverted. mind you, looking at a girl's top would automatically make them think youre after one thing. besides,youre probably actually staring at her breasts

pick-up line no.11
hey beautiful,need a ride home? - dont even think youd get a girl home...unless if theyre bohsias then its a different story.

pick-up line no.12
you know,i'd ask you to dance with me but im scared your boyfriend might beat me up. - thats the somewhat cute and decent way to find out if the girl is single or not.

pick-up line no.13
hey there pretty lips. - ik...

pick-up line no.14
you know its funny,i noticed you from across the room hours ago...you seem like an interesting person. - interesting in what way may i ask?

pick-up line no.15
hey...so hows life? - youd only get a longer conversation if the person is tipsy/friendly/recently got out of a relationship (and as a result you will end up listening to someone complain on how shitty men really are)

Conclusion: for girls,its nice to know that they look good...but make sure you think of something decent and nice to say to them before opening your mouth...i seriously advice for you to stick to pick-up line no.1 because honestly speaking, KL is running out of decent, straight,and single men.

Currently on playlist : The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

So for men who reads this...please please...act more decent.women might let their guard down a little more if you do. They probably would. All the good ones are either taken, gay, or both.

-For those who believe that there is hope. Cheers.
