st patrick's day weekend

all of friday at work i was kinda feeling under the weather. but i'll be damned if i was going to miss out on the st patrick's day barhop organised by a beer brand and a men's magazine (and no, not that type haha!).

my party girl and i went barhopping on a bus to 4 different irish bars. we had coupons for the beer but since we're not beer drinkers, we must have had only less than 1/4 pint at each location.

i've never been to a barhopping event before and i must say it was kinda fun. i got to know some random people from some of the bars we were at. and also talked to some of the people who were at the event as well. 2 guys even seemed a lil interested in me but we didn't exchange any contacts so whatever. doesn't really bother me. though one of 'em wanted to take a picture with me and did.

later my party girl and i headed to cozy hole-in-the-wall bar for the relaunch party.

the yummy mommy as well as a few regulars who i haven't seen in ages were there.

one of 'em was a guy who freelance dj-ed for a while but ever since dj guy quit, he hasn't been back. we always got along well so it was a time of catching up for us. as well as a bit of reminiscing. he felt that the new cozy hole-in-the-wall bar wasn't as cozy as before and he missed dj guy behind the bar. i knew exactly what he meant. we then started talking randomly bout dj guy and he mentioned that when dj guy laughed, you never quite knew where that sound was coming from. i had to laugh at that. the memory of his smile. that's something quite precious. i had to smile at that. i also found myself remembering the first time i met dj guy over 2 years ago and i just bout dragged him to another club and we danced there. and i know dj guy fully remembers that time as well. he remembers that's when we held hands. sigh... memories.

as if those memories weren't enough, i had to see dj guy's best friend there. the last time i saw him we were making out. in a way i was over that situation enough to be able to greet and chat with him normally. he's still flirty. i suppose that's just what he's like. it was just a big big mistake on my part to get dragged into that. he was with his girlfriend. i chatted with her for a while. i still like her. but i guess i can't help but feel a wee bit resentful that his relationship with his girlfriend wasn't affected by what happened. but the 'relationship' between dj guy and me just bout changed forever.

anyhow it was a very sober night but still quite a lot of fun. i headed home relatively early and when i awoke, i found a text received at 3:51am...

the mind-reader: you out?

and i could almost feel myself being suckered in again...
