Peter's Birthday and Maryke's Leaving Party




Saturday saw the celebration of two monstrous occasions, that of Peter's birthday and the farewell to long term friend Maryke. Actually, i wasn't even intending to go. Firstly, i had to work all day Saturday to make up for the extra day for new years. On top of that, i wasn't feeling particularly well, no doubt due to something i ate. Lastly, i wasn't really in any kind of partying mood, in fact i was quite down. However, after work i thought what the hell, and jumped on the bus to Taichung. I arrived shortly after 8:00 and headed to FM to meet Peter and the entourage. I arrived just in time for dinner and drinks. I had a much better time than anticipated largely due to seeing everyone again which picked me up and playing some games too. Daisy, you kicked my ass at everything we played but hey i had fun anyway! A few games of Foosball, darts, and a few dances later it was time to head to Londoner for the next party. So along with Ruby and Cha, we headed there.


Londoner has definitely picked up since last time i went. The South Africans had basically hired out the top floor so were playing their own music. Box dancing to the likes of Fleetwood Mac never fails to amuse me, random!! Even more impressive were the drinks. Thai buckets were the order of the evening and hell were they strong. I'm sure half a pint of vodka went in each one, and three of them and i was knocked out. Slowly but surely people arrived and was good to see some old faces. After Londoner we went to Holiday to sing our hearts out for a few hours.


Therefore, it was a surprisingly good weekend , i headed back to Taipei early afternoon and set about recovering, needless to say not much happened on Sunday.
