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. =)
