Drink & Drive. Don't!

You know next time when someone says "give me the car keys i'll drive you home" you better listen and quickly pass him/her your bloody car keys.

Two saturdays ago i went to one of my long lost (but found again) crazy buddy engagement party. Party at her mom's house, so what do you expect from a typical kampung celebration?? and specially celebration from penampang??? LOTS!! and LOTS!! of drinking sessions.

The Kadazans loved their drinks and they drink well into the night and if can until morning or until they kena halau to go home. Forget about the hangover, the headache, the pain, the nausea feeling the next day, they drink like there's no tomorrow. Like got bottomless pit inside their stomach.

The Drinking Party . . . starts at 3pm till 3am . . i should have taken pictures of the beer cans under the table.

One thing about the custom in penampang, if the host offers you the glass you got no choice (unless you're pregnant . . in which i'm not!! altho i looked like i am) but to drink until habis the content in the glass. I had about 5 glass of very sweet Li Hing (a very potent kadazan drink. . . effects only came 30 minutes later), 3 Shots of Black Label (Neet!!!) and countless cans of beers. Yes a very potent mix, because in that house there's like 4 people walking around taking turns giving out the drinks and while drinking got some drinking songs to make sure you drink. I think the intended victims purposely drink so fast because they don't want to hear those songs . . . hahaha

At 3am in the morning i couldn't swallow anymore of those beers. In the end i just take a sip and when they're not looking i spill it on the side. Oh man what a waste but if i didnt do that i don't know how in the world i could get to my car and drive home. Altho it only took me 5 mins to drive back to my house . . . it felt like a lot longer . . it took all the effort just to stay awake and i think i close my eyes for a split second and when i reopened them i was driving on the other lane. Lucky there was no car around. Lucky i didn't turn in to the police station thinking that was the turning to my house.

The next day (or 6 hours later) i got the worst hangover. That's my present for celebrating the whole night away. That's it!!! no more liquor till the end of the month. HAHA
