roaming dinosaurs

eric won some $300 worth of vouchers for double o at robertson walk from one of his racing competitions and invited us to share his bounty tonight.

janet had suggested a 'guys' night out' event for the 'nightlife-deprived' husbands. :P tracy and doris were there too since both of them don't have to put any little ones to bed. sl was invited to help consume copious amount of alcohol because eric and doris had found out that double o drinks are really cheap. only $6 a glass or $24 for a jug of housepours.

we estimated that we could get 50 glasses or 12 jugs. but why would we need help since there're tracy, doris, thomas and jeffrey? that's because eric is banned from drinking by tracy. he had been feeling unwell and had slight pneumonia but insisted that we do not re-schedule.

tracy said eric lost his temper and looked like he was going to have an heart attack when she broached the topic of a re-schedule.

sl & i met tracy & eric at the door. i got free entry before 10:00pm with compliments from safra. doris said she felt weird queueing at the safra line with the nsfs. jeffrey and jason also felt out-of-place when they queued to get in 'cos the crowded was overwhelmingly young.

we sat at the section with the pool tables with 'live' music. the band wasn't outstanding. sl commented that the lead singer didn't bother to dress up at all. none of us got drunk or even high since the drinks were kind of weak according to jeffrey and jason. jeffrey claims there's only orange juice in the screwdriver and insisted that the whisky green tea only had green tea.

sl & i begged to differ. we thought that the whisky was quite strong and can't really taste the green tea. it was nice catching up with everyone. the guys were less distracted without having to look out for their little ones. a pity john didn't join us.

altogether a nice and pleasant night with the jcgang sans the 'mothers'... until jason's friend remarked to him 'eh, dinosaur also come clubbing?' while we were leaving double o. :P jason said his ego was completely deflated. hehe...

the 'dinosaurs' wrapped up the night with good old bak kut teh at the junction of mohammed sultan and river valley road. yeah, we're carnivores. :)
