So last night turned into another disaster. This time it was Liana that crashed and burned, again. She had started early, full of hope and expectation. Planning to make it a night to remember. Then we stumbled into a party that could have ended up being fun, but was still pretty held back and ‘civil’ when we arrived. Liana ended up spending too much time thinking and ended up thinking herself sick. (As happens, when you’ve had a few too many drinks and too much time to realise it.)

First we tried walking it out of Banana super hero’s system, but that proved only slightly successful. So we had to go home. At nine thirty on New Year’s eve, we headed home in a taxi. We ended up sleeping through New Year. Liana claims she heard fire works at twelve o’clock, but that didn’t even get through my deep sleep (I had started a lot later then Liana, but had played a catch up game. Therefore I was doing pretty well, myself.)

We seem to be starting a new tradition for ourselves. Whenever we plan to go out and have a good time, we end up getting ill and having to go home early. People must think we’re awfully bad at this drinking thing. That considering we were actually quite good at the going out thing in Singapore.

It’s so weird falling sick. I’m starting to understand what those people who can’t handle their alcohol must feel like. Those people that try to keep up, but are always forced to quit early, must feel pretty crap about their fate. For us it’s even worse. Not only are we suffering through the getting ill, we know we can normally do a hell of a lot better.

Oh well. Shit happens and at least it’s cheap to go home early. We did get a chance to take a cab and find out its prices. Quite expensive, actually. But then somebody had already warned us about that.

We’ll be alright, I think it’s just going to be a matter of re-evaluating our chances of having a fully functional and far spanning social network set up. All we’ll have, as we’re going now, is a reputation as the ‘go home early’ guys.
