I Support You!

Its a crazy world, but Im crazy too. ''I SUPPORT YOU!" - Playing a drinking game, becoming my partner and my fav line.

I spend thanksgiving in dallas, hanging out with a bunch of Hong Kong and Malaysian frenz. I actually only met some of them once or twice, and they speak fluent cantonese all the while, which makes it hard for me to understand or communicate with them.

Well, heck that! Apparently, drunk people speak english! For e.g. "Wake me up!" in a slurred voice.

I was playing a popular HK drinking game, the same one played in Pirates of the Carribean II.

Game Rules
1) There are 5 dices in a cup and you overturn the cup on the table and shake it.
2) You open the cup, but dont let the others see your dice.
3) First round - anyone starts. Subsequent rounds - the loser starts.
4) Call out a number of dice. E.g. If five people are playing, you can call out five twos, which means that you are guessing there are at least a min of 5 twos in all the 25 (total no.) dices. The first no called out must be equal or bigger than the amt of people playing.
5) One is a wild card, and can be anything unless the number is called out.
6) Senario: There are 5 ppl playing. A calls out 7 fours. (rmb, first no is equal or larger than the amt of ppl playing) B calls out 8 fours. (stakes must increase for either one or both numbers. Cannot call out 7 threes/twos/ones unless you call 8 threes/twos/ones.) C calls out 10 six. D doesnt believe there are 10 sixes in all 25 dices so D says 'open!'. Everyone opens their cups and the dices are reveals. Start counting the no of sixes everyone has, including ones, since it is a wild card and since no one has bet on ones. D counts a total of 11 sixes. So D drinks a can of beer coz he lost. If D counts 9 dices, then C drinks coz he is incorrect.

The game I played, each time you lost, drink a can of beer. Our fren had lots of beer in a slightly smaller can. But anyway, you can see how easy it is to get drunk. Lose 4 games, drink 4 times. I drank red wine coz I couldnt stand beer. Mine was 1/5 of a huge cup. So the amt is almost like in a wine glass.

Luckily, since I didnt know how to play the game at first, Ah Lam helped me. He is Ah Wing's younger brother and brothers dont exactly like to drink with each other. So anyway, Ah Lam became my partner after a while to help me out, since I was losing... Well, not only did he teached me the game, he helped me to make good decisions and drink some wine if I lost. Hahaha.

Bad news. Apparently, he got drunk later on. I was already half gone. I knew I was rather drunk but was still aware of my surroundings, and my head kept rolling around like when you are really sleepy coz it was late at night anyway. I went to the toilet a couple of times to get rid of the alcohol. Before I knew it, since my partner was still playing, he drank for me if 'I' lost, and besides, I knew I couldnt take in more alcohol. So I drank little and refused to play unless I drink water. You had no idea how stubborn Ah Wing was. He refused coz he said I can do it. I dont really recall what happened next. All I knew was I slowed down my intake of alcohol but my partner was suprisingly drunk for the next whole day coz he puked so frequently from the time he slept till next evening or night.

I slept at 6am and woke up at 1030am...feeling tired but still had the energy to eat dim sum. Lionel too. The other two guys slept like pigs and another two didnt really play a lot...so they didnt drink much either. Ah Lam was just holed up in his room the entire day. So he was out of the question.

----------------

This thanksgiving must be the wildest so far. Drank too much (before that I even had Neon Tower drink at a fancy revolving tower and I drank half of a girl's glass coz she didnt want to finish it. It was darn good. Coffee and alcohol.)

Things I did for the first time during thanksgiving.
1) Getting drunk/groggy but still sane. I still could count the dices. But my partner gulped down the alcohol too fast coz he thought we lost, even though we didnt. Haih.
2) Fishing. I didnt put the bait on the hook but I did throw the line and took loads of pictures.
3) Baby Dolls. Shucks. Unwilling, I had you know.

pls: I left my cleanser in their house. That's a first too, if you want to count it.
