Popping out for a quiet beer


Following our separate adventures on Saturday, Nick and I both arrived back at the flat at around 3 in the afternoon. Whilst he had some gaming that he wanted to get done, I was struggling from my 6am accidental wake up, so I settled down for little mid-afternoon nap. Heavenly!
            Sadly I only slept for around ten minutes before Nick got a call that woke me up. Our friends Liv and Flash have just moved into a new flat less than a minute away from us, and so to celebrate them getting the last box of personal possessions through the front door we decided it was only right that we should take them out for a beer to welcome them to the area.
            In essence this was a fine plan. The intention was to go for a couple of beers and then maybe have dinner somewhere close to home before headed back to the flat to catch up on sleep and drink tea. Somewhere along the way the one or two beers turned into three or four. Our dinner plans took us into Little India to a French style restaurant where our friend Farrant joined us and we passed a rather merry few hours chatting, drinking and scoffing a lot of very tasty food.

            
Then, just when I thought we would be safe and homeward bound, I found myself being bundled into a taxi and on my way to Club Street where there was a huge Heineken sponsored street festival taking place. The rest of our night passed on the balcony of one of the bars, watching a large chunk of the Singapore expat community drink themselves silly. Nick and I escaped unharmed at 1am, but I dread to think how the rest of night unfolded for Liv, Flash and Farrant.
