17 year olds... Too Liberal?

Met up with Jeff recently for dinner & drinks. MT was supposed to join as well but apparently he decided to start "flying airplane". So only 3 of us, including hubby made it for dinner. Went to Lao Pa Sat and ordered quite a fair bit. Sambal Stingray, Fried Kangkong, Carrot Cake, Hokkien Mee & Satay. We ate so much till we were quite bloated.

After that we went to Clarke Quay clubbing. Initially I wanted to go CLINIC. But the guys were not game enough. Jeff suggested HOOTERS... (-_-). We walked around quite a bit to check out the crowd at quite a few clubs and then we decided that we just wanted someplace to sit and chat for a while (in hope that MT would still come by to meet up). So we decided to pop in to HIGHLANDER. Initially, we wanted to sit outside where we could people watch. But there weren't any tables available. So an Indian waiter offered an indoor seat and told us that he'd shift us outside once he managed to get a place. We said OK, and proceeded to order our drinks.

Guess what, we placed our orders and waited. We tried chatting over super loud music but gave up. The we started to play with our mobile phones and PDAs, all while still waiting for our drinks. After nearly 20 minutes, still nothing came, and Jeff decided to ask the waitress who took our order. She strolled by to our table and Jeff asked her "Excuse me, we ordered some drinks, but we haven't got them yet. Can you please check?" and her reply was "Oh, was it your first round of orders?" And Jeff answered "Yes." And she said "OK, I'll check it for you." And then she went off, and within 10 seconds, another waiter appeared with our drinks!

Fine... We finally got our drinks. But I knew I made a mistake when I looked at my glass. I ordered Scottish Lager Ale for the fun of it. The lglass of Ale was very dark brown, Jeff said it was probably something like half stout and half beer. I took a sip... and had the urge to take my tongue out and rinsing it it water. Goodness, it was soooooo bitter! YUCKS!!!

But I still had to put on a straight face and drink it. After half a glass, I couldn't take it anymore and swapped it with hubby. Geez......

I also have to mention that all while we were sitting inside HIGHLANDER, there was this live band singing with a terrible sound system. Halfway through almost every song, there would be very loud static noise, or the speakers would blast out some very loud cracking sound. Our ear drums nearly burst. I decided we had enough and told the 2 guys we should really just move on to somewhere else. Tweetie called at this moment.I went outside to meet up with her while and Jeff called for the bill. After more than 10 minutes of waiting with Tweetie outside, the boys were still waiting for the bill! Apparently, they had to ask for it twice before it came! Bad. Very bad indeed!

We went on to FORBIDDEN CITY after that. Jeff was wondering what he'd drink when a waitress (let's call her Miss B) came by with the drinks list. Jeff cheekily said "Teh si siu tai". And we giggled. But Miss B said "How about Teh O kosong instead?" Promptly handed us the list and looked at Jeff.

Jeff couldn't believe his ears and we all just burst out laughing. Jeff actually asked her if they really served that! Hahahahahahaha... OK, he was also just being cheeky. We ordered our drinks and then relaxed and chatted.

Then after that, I saw a group of guys at the bar and the bartenders were setting up this drink tower. It was called WATERFALL. They had stacked a pyramid shaped bottle on top of a glass of cocktail. Gave the drinker a straw (or 2 straws in case the 1st straw melts or burns) and then the light another glass of alcohol up with fire and pour it down the pyramid bottle. Fire will then stream down with the alcohol into the cocktail below, and the drinkers are supposed to drink up the cocktail all while the fire is burning. Geez, if you ask me, I think that's scary. I can't imagine myself doing it, lest my eyebrows or fringe go up in flames!

Anyway, back to us sitting lazily and chatting on the cushioned sofas, with Tweetie trying very hard to figure out what we were laughing about, Miss B came by a few times and started chatting up Jeff. Then we asked if she could bring us more of those mixed nut stuff to go with our drinks. She went off and returned with 2 more bowls. And then she started asking us to guess how old she was... Tweetie was looking at me like very strangely... Why the hell would we want to know her age. Hubby laughed when she said she had just "kissed goodbye to sweet 16 yesterday". And we confirmed she was hitting real hard on Jeff! Hahahahahaha...

Miss B had then gone off to table waiting and we were joking about how such a young girl was being very open and chatty. Hubby told Jeff she'll definitely come back with more info about herself later. And she did! She walked very calmly past Jeff and passed him a small piece of paper rolled up like a cigarette between her fingers, and then walked off. Jeff was quite pleasantly surprised I must say.... He unrolled the piece of paper, read the short message about her being very happy to meet us, and her name was .... B***** Well we didn't know her name before that. So I laughed out really loud and confirmed that she's really onto Jeff! Hubby couldn't help it but to say the next thing she'll give Jeff her mobile phone number, all without being asked for! I agreed and I literally saw Jeff blushing! Tweetie was very amused.

Hubby told Jeff to try calling her to test if the number she gave was real. He did that and asked her if she could come over to take our next orders. Hahahaha.... Well, her phone did ring and she did come over, and hubby & myself were really laughing uncontrollably.

Well after all that laughs, Jeff's phone rang about half an hour later. Miss B had called him, asking Jeff is he could giver her a lift home. I think Jeff was damn happy about it. We hadn't finished our drinks yet, but I could see that Jeff was beginning to drink a little bit faster just so that he could excuse himself. After he left with her, we were speculating what will happen after that. Tweetie was really curious, and hubby was saying, well Jeff is after all a man, so.... But I said I doubt anything will happen because Jeff is a gentleman. I doubt he'd take advantage of the situation, that fast at least.

The next morning, hubby SMSed him and asked what happened. It turned out that Miss B got into Jeff's car and started telling him how she was related to a now defunct since 1978 secret society blah blah blah... I couldn't believe it and started laughing till I got the cramps. Anyway, Jeff said he couldn't be bothered and just sent her straight home!

Hahahahahaha... I think Miss B just wanted a free ride home just to save $20 of taxi fare. But what she displayed was plain stupidity and ignorance. She didn't quite do her homework about that particular secret society, and luckily it was Jeff's car that she had taken that night. If it was some other men who had other past supper itinerary in his mind, she might have been in trouble. I doubt it was the first time she'd done such a thing anyway...

P/S: Singapore is a really small place. It turned out that Miss B was the neighbour of Tweetie's friend!!! I can't imagine the embarrassment to her...
