Operation "Make Jasmine Drunk"

Day 642

Junlin and Yiing Yiing are going for their honeymoon next week and won't be back until mid June so we had to hold our farewell party for Jasmine way ahead of her actual departure. After the very delicious and filling dinner at Fonda Mexican (I'm so going there again), Operation "Make Jasmine Drunk" started immediately. 

Operation "Make Jasmine Drunk"

1st stop: Der Raum

We nearly walked past it without noticing that we've arrived as it looks nothing like a bar from the outside. It's so exclusive that you have to buzz to get it. Members of Der Raum will get a keypass that allows them to enter freely during the trading hours. For non-members like us, it is a MUST to call and make reservations. Otherwise, there's no way that you will be allowed, even if the bar is empty. (according to Jiaqi) Cocktails are pricey at this multi-award winning bar, at almost $25 each. It's impossible to take pictures in the dimly-lit bar but I do like how dark and cosy it is. But it was so cosy that everyone was starting to feel sleepy, especially after our filling dinner, so we decided to hop to our next stop.

2nd stop: some random bar next to the tram stop

We had to wait 15 minutes for the next tram and the boys suggested heading into the bar next to the tram stop for a drink. Seriously, they can't wait to get her drunk.

3rd stop: Transport Public Bar

 

Now, the operation was in full swing. The drinks came fast and furious and everyone was taking turns to make Jasmine drink with them. Poor girl had to turn to the dance floor for some solace. That was the only time she managed to take a break. Then it was "drink, drink, drink" all over again. Jasmine kept asking for time-out and it's clear that she's getting tipsy but they aren't going to let her off the hook. The cheeky boys suggested going to a ladies club where we would all chip in for Jasmine to get some private service. King Street, King Street, King Street! Sadly, ladies' club isn't like gentlemen's club where the dancers are available all night and the show was already over at the ladies' club. 

4th stop: Waterside Hotel

So it's off to the next drinking hole - Waterside Hotel. Jasmine kept complaining that she can't drink anymore because she's too bloated and full while our sleeping beauty - Emily, was starting to doze off! A few more drinks and some dancing later, it was again time to hop.

Final stop: Turf Bar

This was our final stop for the night - where the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Liverpool was showing. The young and energetic ones played pool while the older folks (Jiaqi, me and the tipsy Jasmine) retreated to one cosy corner for some much needed leg rest. 

Operation "Make Jasmine Drunk" was finally over at 230am. Gosh, I AM DEAD BEAT.
