Truly Thursdays – at Trader Vic's!

We ended up skipping one Thursday cuz Sev had to travel to Abu Dhabi to attend the most interesting and useful conference she could’ve dreamed of. She was so excited to be there and was bubbling with so much enthusiasm while she told me all about it on gtalk. She was giving me a minute by minute update. *rolling eyes*

Thanks to this, of course, she couldn’t make it in time for Truly Thursdays. And it’s not like Truly Thursdays is some kind of a club (or, at least it wasn’t till then *wink*) that I could’ve done something with someone else.

So we skipped 29 October, 2009 and went straight to our next Truly Thursdays night – 5 October, 2009.

Sev and I’d been meaning to get shit-faced for a while. Sev’s words that TT morning: let’s go get drunk and throw up!!! I thought about it for exactly 1.87 seconds and said, let’s!

And that’s how we ended up at Trader Vic's with Sev, Rohit, Claudio, Ryan, Samir and me.

Here’s how it went:

After a lot of thought I left my car in the office parking lot – decided to come by the next day with Rohit and pick it up – Claudio and Ryan came to Emirates Towers (ET) to meet me – Sev was being driven to ET by Samir – our newest edition to TT – gave Sev specific directions to get to the parking lot cuz I was leaving my stuff in my car – directions like I would give to a 5 year old – and she was still sceptical – says a lot about her and about the company I keep – but Samir and Sev finally found me standing smack in the middle of the road – I was doing that just in case they miss me despite my awesomely-cool directions – Caludio and Ryan walked up to where I was standing just in time to hear me yell to Sev lest the car drive past me – was brimming with joy cuz Rohit had had a dozen roses delivered to my office – and of course, it was Claudio and Sev’s 6 month, 11 month anniversary – yeah, they’re weird that way – so we ended up going to Traders Vic (TV) at about 6-ish – started drinking – kick off drink being Tiki Puka Puka – their speciality that was downed by Samir cuz he was the newest – and hence the most naïve – and the others had a mix of a lot of stuff throughout the night – Tequilla, Suffering Bastard, Titanic, Manahune, Potted Parrot, Caparinya, Mojito – yes they’re all names of actual cocktails – I dug out my camera that Rohit brought when he arrived later and started clicking pictures of everything – Ryan got annoyed cuz I kept clicking his drink – me thinks he wanted me to click him – it didn’t deter me and I kept going on – then Sev and I went to ‘break the seal’ as Sev put it – when we came back from the ladies’ we went on a laughing frenzy – we were both in our happy place – the details after that are a tad bit hazy – I do remember walking with Sev to a corner with an obnoxious looking statue stood – under which was a group of 3 people whom I ended up clicking as well – with their permission – the woman had a dangerously low neckline – so I will not put up that picture – but I scared them by telling them about our TT and this blog – dreadful look they gave – went back to table and had a shot with Sev and practically passed out after that – Sev stole my second drink saying I should hold – and I substituted the drink with grabbing my D 3000 and asking Rohit to take our picture – when we saw the picture Sev said to me, and I quote – “Delete this picture!!! I look like a lesbian, but the male part” – and that sent us into another laughing frenzy – I ended up emailing myself this quote from my BB lest I forgot what she had said – Rohit and I left soon afterwards – a little past 10pm – yes, I know, extremely early – and I ended up passed out in the car – while our lovely Sev ended up ‘talking to the toilet’ – so she finally got what she wanted – to get trashed and throw up all over!

And we’ve got quite a few people interested in our TT nights! As Sev said: looks like we’ve got ourselves a club of sorts! Brin’ ‘em on, I say! :)

There's Samir in red stripes. I wanna say KFC-shirt, but it isn't quite there yet. :) And that's Rohit, checking cricket scores on his BB and having an animated conversation with Claudio (a.k.a. his b*tch) across the table.



That's Ryan, our birthday boy. He stole my sexy glasses. Ryan, they don't work on you as well as they work on me. Live with it.

What, pray tell, are you attempting here, Claudio? :)

And here's Sev and me. Quite obviously, this is the lesbian-man picture. LOL! I think it's more of a deer-headlights picture, donchya think, Sev?

We’re off for a quiet-er night of sheesha, dinner and utter mayhem tonight! :)

Till I find time to put up tonight’s Truly Thursdays adverture…toodles!

TGI Thursday!
