November 2004
We went to Snop Bar at Rachadaa soi 4, a disco pub for thai locals, me, xian, chinx and xian's future gf with her friends. We were drinking whiskey or beer, I forgot. i know for a fact that i'm a little bit drunk at that time so i started consuming more water. xian on the other hand, was dead drunk, puking his way to the men's room, he can't even stand. i literally drag him out of the bar, on the streets and into a taxi cab. luckily, we brought some plastic bags inside the taxi cab, so xian can do his thing there. unfortunately for me, his puke is also flowing through my hands and into my shirt. (hu hu hu). I have a weak stomach then, the sight of puke makes me vomit, this time, i'm half drunk, and puke's flowing all over my hands. i gather all the self control i can muster just to control my urges, and vow to xian that i'll get even.
fast forward september 9, 2006
we went to route 66, a famous bar along RCA, me, xian, pond (xian's gf), and four of pond's friends. we were drinking 1 liter red label whiskey. we add mixers (soda water, coke) to the drink, so the whiskey will last till the end of the night. By 11 pm there were only 3 of us left drinking, and we still have half liter of whiskey to consume. Beside us is a group of guys along with their gf's partying, and they're also drinking whiskey. unlike our group they're doing shots, slammer shots. I ended up taking shots with them, at the same time drinking my regular whiskey mix. after one shot, xian went out to get some air, alcohol took its toll on him. after two hours i followed him, i'm already swaying, we finished our first whiskey plus numerous whiskey shots from my new friends whom i can't even remember their names. i sat beside xian and puked on the other side. i'm drunk, dead drunk, for the first time here in bangkok. good thing xian's been drinking water when he went out, so he's no longer tipsy, bad news is, he has to drag me out of the bar, onto the street and into a taxi cab. btw, xian's about 60 kgs and i'm 75-76 kgs. i didn't know how he managed to drag me out of the bar, i can only remember i was laughing, finally... my revenge. inside the taxi, instead of going straight to my house, they decided to drop their other friend to her house first, which is completely opposite my way. xian didn't know where's my house. he asked me where to go, i shouted... "Soi Moleng... just go to Soi Moleng, I know". the driver's laughing for i'm already half asleep and I can still say directions. When we reached my street, xian asked me again where, with eyes half closed, i ordered the driver to go straight then turn left.. "Trong pai khrap.. rio ko.. riow sai khrap". we reached my place and xian carried me to my room with his gf. before i fall asleep, i told him... "xian, we're even.. hahahaha... "

Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left untouched
Some things are better left than right
and some things left are better.
People tend to hold on the past
People tend to hold on the present
People tend to hold on other peoples hands
and some people ... just hold on.
Everybody seems to be just right
Everybody seems to be just wrong
Everybody seems to be just doing it
and everybody seems just.
