Kaki Botol

Not like we aren't admitting to being one.

Maybe because it felt like another Monday - work, Jam, Combat, Polo Sport-sniffing, home for dinner, finally in front of the pc usually - that we clean forgot that we'd actually suppose to join otousan, Germ, lad and Lemon for The Bourne Ultimatum. Thankfully manage to call mum up as she was just preparing dinner, and she decided that we should just eat out instead of her keeping our dinner portion till past 11pm.

The Bourne Ultimatum is good. As good as the first one (we knows not about the second one as we haven't watched it yet). What initially impressed us was that in some bits of the show we had lad and Lemon telling us who was who (a bit like Pirates of the Caribbean, don't watch one bit won't know who's the character is), not that it mattered much though. It was only after the movie that they tell us that they'd watched both The Bourne Identity and Supremacy over the weekend in preparation for Ultimatum.

Well, at least some people did their homework. But we do remember bits and pieces from Identity, enough to go, "Ooh, deja vu!" at some points.

It was after the movie that lad asked if we were free Tuesday night for dinner with another friend. Shame that his vegetarian wife would be following, there's not going to be any bah kut teh for dinner. We couldn't join them as we have a wedding birthday dinner to attend actually.

Turns out that aside from the dinner plans they have tomorrow, lad still remembers well the Carlsberg Extra Cold ad he saw and was keen on trying it out. Mystique at Cineleisure Damansara has a Extra Cold tap, this lad found out. But instead of Tuesday night, why not tonight? After all, we were already in Cineleisure Damansara, Mystique is just around the corner...

Resistance is futile.

So the three of us (otousan and Germ headed back) ended up having Carlsberg from a tap..."sheathed in ice and uses glycol-based technology to dispense beer at -1°C". Well, cold draft beer always goes down well.

As it was the stroke of midnight when our beer arrived, we actually celebrated the day with Carlsberg mooncake.

Thing was, when lad asked the waiter about it, we were first told a glass costed RM18.80 or so. When we paid up, the receipt showed 'Carlsberg Draft' and was RM12. So we thought that he misheard our order and gave us normal Carlsberg instead.

"Aiyah, want to complain or not?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Down!"
"Down!"
"Down!"

And this was half a glass of Carlsberg. Only after we finished our first glass did Lemon asked the waiter about the beer we got, referring to the receipt. And we were told that it was Carlsberg Extra Cold. We basically downed the drink instead of enjoying it as we intended.

In the end each of us bought a round - 3 glasses of Carlsberg Extra Cold each. Heh. Things got a bit scary when Lemon went down to 7-11 to get Malboro Menthol Lights. It's a frickin' Monday and we're already hitting the beer (or we could think of it as the weekend's not over). Throw in cigs? Might as well not show up for work then on Tuesday. Both lad and us backed out after one stick. To round up the night, we all headed over to Jasema's for supper before finally heading home.

Our eyes actually feel sunken in today. :P

Oh, and a wedding birthday dinner tonight! More alcohol!

Edit: Sorry about the slight deception Sporty Shaun! We did thought that we nearly gave the game away and so pushed the wedding story all the way! :D

Well you could just say no to alcohol at wedding. The first glass is the easiest to refuse - if you don't start it's easier to stop, heh. ;oP
