Its seems like a long time since I've updated my blog. Well theres pretty much a good reason fer it. First off on friday, I went to the gym wif some friends here. Did some running and head of the play badminton with them. Well it seems that the lack of practice (both running and badminton) is starting to take a toll on my body and my weak kneecap started groaning at the stress that I was giving it. Sweet... Makes me feel like a 60 yr old man.
Night came and it was the Freshman Initiation at another friend's apartment. Well the initiation started off slow with occasional TV gluing but generally the starter shots kick in some mood to it. Next up, we viewed some fantastic performance by 2 of my friends downing 8 shots in a row, of which one of them had no prior experience with swallowing shots. Pretty neat that she came up strong to it and I guess that the she was even more sober than me that night. Following this was another round of 8 shots by me and 4 other friends. Now that really killed me cos its been like so darn long since I've taken shots. Especially volka. I hate volka. Maybe its the accumulative preferance over whisky since I've grown to like Chivas when me and bro will sit at Caesars to have them.
Shortly after the 8 we had someone to mix drinks for us. From this point on I can't really rem what went on. But I guess that I had some more mixed shots and drank more of those that tasted nice. Bad choice. Before I knew it, I had like 15 shots or more and that sick feeling starting to flood upwards thru my body. In the end I made a mess of my friends apartment, had some friends to support me back (thanx guys) and stumbled onto my bed unconsciously. Well I guess I was pretty knocked out by the time I hit bed, damn tired from the day.
This morning the alarm set by my friends rang at 8am. Shit I got problem waking up. A slight hangover came over me as I continue to lie on my bed. I hate this feeling after drinking. Just reaffirms my desire to stop drinking totally. Went to Kelley orientation and realize that many international students had the same dilemna as me when I woke up. Eventually I assume that the lazy side of them won and they are somehow attached to their beds. I went through a series of redundant lectures and the upside of it is I get to see her. Well she came to the orientation with a friend, and later on proceeded to her student association for some lunch gathering. Wish to get to know her better! Did got to chat her up but it seems like I wasnt smooth enough. Shit.
Got to collegemall later with fellow freshies and guess what; I saw her there again! Was pretty sure she went back to change a new blouse or something but just as I wanna go up and chat with her, I sensed this pair of preying eyes that seems to bore through me. Realized that her dad was standing at a corner suspiciously looking at me. Sweet... just lost my chance to create conversation. Was even willing to risk my dinner just to have some with her. Damnit. And I thought I could grab that chance to ask her out. Anyway, I believe there'll be more opportunities. Haha.
Old meets new came next. But that time I was dead tired and really willing to forgo it. But kinda stuck to my decision and decided to mingle around fer a while just in case some pple think that I am anti-social. Anyway the food didn't make me regret going, cos I really miss the taste of nice home cook food. Got so much helpings to it, partly I was dead hungry after my last night of drinking session. The event went on smoothly and I had met some interesting characters in it. After that went on to play some texan poker at my friend's place. Pretty tiring day. Think I am going to end off here and sleep. Didn't have a proper night of rest from all that work the entire week.
