who turned 21?

It was our beloved Maria. On the 14th of December.




Alamak. Wrong picture. I meant this Maria!

Rawr!!!

LOL. Just kidding, Maria!

Anyway, we had a surprise for her. But she found out that Aaron and Tom were her surprise guests, due to some confusion and misunderstanding. Damn wtf lor. Luckily that didn't spoil anything and she was still happy. Secara kesimpulan, we had a great meal!

Maria and Aaron

K la, k la. This is what they look like

Tom

Since it was Maria's big day, we had no choice but to let her bully us.

*tears*

The big-sized Aaron squealed in fear when confronted with Maria's fork

Ah Ma's miserable little flag couldn't save her from the chilli bottle

Eh! How did this get here?

See, see. Hard evidence. I'll let you in on a secret. Her victims had fun being terrorised by our darling Maria! They were begging for more! Hmmm... this doesn't sound right.

Erm, moving on! We went to Wetherspoon's for a drink after that! That's where Maria got her pressie from us!

With her Miss Selfridge gift card

And her 'tipu' birthday cake

And also some blue alcoholic drink

Since we celebrated Xiao Di's bday on the same day as Maria's, naturally, he got his present and bday cake as well!

Another 'tipu' bday cake

His pressies - a not-so-clean bday card and men cologne.

No, its not that Xiao Di smells that we gave him cologne as a present. Its just that, he doesn't use one and we figured, time for him to smell like a man! Well, ok. He smells.

The real fun began when we returned to Wessex for another drinking session. This time we played a drinking game called Ring of Fire.

Losers take shots!

How to play:
1) Shuffle a deck of cards and spread it across the table
2) Each person takes a card in turn.
3) Tasks depend on the card.

So here's what each card represents:

1. Numbers 1-5 are safe cards. Players do not have to do anything.
2. Card with number 6 - toilet pass. Players with toilet pass may sell or request those that need to use the pass to do something in exchange for it.
3. Cards with number 7 - the BANGLA game. Players begin counting, starting from the number 1. Whenever the digit has a number 7 (ie. number 17) or is a multiple of 7, the player has to go "Bangla!"
4. Cards with number 8 - the category game. The player who drew this card must start with a category of something, ie. car brands. The rest of the players must then come up with brands of cars.
5. Cards with number 9 - the fruit game. The player must say the name of a fruit. The next player in turn must then repeat the name of the previous player's fruit and come up with his own fruit name, and so on. The list of fruits grows longer with each player.
6. Cards with number 10 - set a rule. The player who drew this card may set a rule (ie. no one is allowed to say the word "wait")
7. The Jack card - centerpool. The player who drew this card may pour in any drink of any amount into a specific glass. The glass is then kept aside.
8. The Queen card - dare card. The player who drew this card gets to dare anyone to do anything.
9. The King card - unlucky. The players who drew the first three Kings are safe. However, the player with the last King card must finish the contents of the centerpool glass.

Simple and fun. Deadly too. After all, the main aim of this game is to get people drunk and who knows what crazy shit drunk people do. Do you? Well... sad to say, I will not be writing about what went on in the game. It has been agreed that what went on that night, remained there.

So, sorry. Its a secret. But if you bribe me... Ahem.
