What a month!

August seem to be passing by very quickly. And i mean blink-and-you'll-miss-it crazy quickly. Suddenly, it's the last week of the month!

Highlights of August are definitely the FC Barcelona vs Malaysia XI match that happened on 10th August, and the recent Linkin Park concert on 19th August. A load of shit happened in July that caused me to repurchase the tickets to these two events, but i still got to attend in the end so it's okay.

What surprised me most is how fast i met and got close to two friends (a couple) who also frequents the bar me and my friend goes to, to support the same singer/artiste we've been supporting since March this year. It all happened one night in July when one of them came over and exchanged numbers with my friend, and although we see each other again time to time since then, we never really got off.

Until this month, when they invited us to their table, and we start talking and enjoying the music and interaction with the artiste. The next time we went we actually promised to go together and have fun, and it really kicked off that night I went to the Barca match.

My friend waited to pick me up and we went to the bar late, but they already have a tower ready for us and we just got to our drinks and funtime (fun as in, listening to the music, enjoying the band, and drinking, nothing extreme, mind you). I was tired and hungry and sweaty after the match and had my dinner there too, but I was cheered up by the music and their company, so it's all right.

The artiste came to our table often and we chatted, even when they are finished and well into the night. She drank a little too much and we just sat there and chat while drinking our iced water to wash the alcohol down. They took pictures, we took pictures, and she posted on her FB thanking us for our support, and we posted some pics on our own too and had a good laugh. She asked us if we wanna sing k together and we were surprised but accepted it anyway, since it's very rare for her to ask to hang out.

The next day she opened a group chat, one thing led to another and soon we were adding each other in Whatsapp and the conversation was rolling, including her guy friend J and close friend aka "darling" N (let's call her V). We were all planning to have dinner or sing k later that night (Sun 11th Aug), and we met up at The Curve and decided on Bulgogi Brothers (Korean) for dinner.

When we were done, the night was still young so we decided to have second round at Giza Mall, Sunway. They didn't wanna go to where they were performing last time at Show House so we went to Movida. Sat down and had Hoegaarden pints while V and N had Guinness their fav. The beer tasted diluted and N insisted to ask them redo the beer for us, and while it was funny, the 2nd brew was better. I finished my drink very fast though, I dunno I felt mellow all of a sudden. They started to tease me about being quiet and "having all the fun to myself" regards to my drinking, and they wanted to go for another round in another place, so that V and N can have their pints (they were drinking bottles).

We went to Beer Factory next and this is where things got interesting. There was a promo for 5 pints i think and we all got Kilkenny pints while V & N got Guinness. I was on a run of Soju Chum Churrum (Bulgogi), Hoegaarden and now Kilkenny. We were talking and laughing and enjoying ourselves, and they had Jaggerbombs and I wanted to try too, and I was beginning to feel high though not drunk. We took pics, made jokes, drank some more, and someone gave me Guinness to drink too. It was very fun... I like it..

When we left well in the early hours, we even did a sprint session.. I've never sprinted while high on alcohol... it felt really good though I was concerned I will vomit after the effort. But I was high and it actually got my adrenaline pumping... since then, I had the nickname "drunk kid" between ourselves although it was originally for the other friend.. haha..

The V was working from Mon-Wed... and we were last minute invited by N to go support her on Tuesday. me and my friend went late because we were having steamboat dinner, and she can't know abt it...we originally planned to go on Wed only but since N was there, fun is calling! So in the end we went and everyone went high as fuck (but not yet in the throw up-clothes off type, just "high"), the pictures we took had all of us hugging even more closely. All of us didn't regret coming that night, although it meant we are going to be zombies at work the next day. Unhealthy, I know!

We went to Inhouse for supper after that and we actually sat in V's car for the first time ever because of that. The next night me and my friend went there again and after some coaxing the other two came as well. It was much muted cos N wasn't around, so I tried to make them laugh by being silly. And V thought I was being drunk again and asked me if I was okay LOL.

The next day, Thursday, I'd planned to go home catch some zzzs after work but W asked me to play basketball and seeing that I hadn't played in a long time, I went. I actually got hit by the ball and bled from skin wound. My glasses was affected as well. But I had fun despite making a loser out of myself, I was so out of touch!

And just like that, we've been seeing each other on Saturday & Sunday, then Tue-Thurs. Our friendship was striking really fast, and both W & S are really curious abt me and my friend, our lives etc. My friend mostly, since I'm always the one out of the attention.

They went to see V again on Saturday 17th Aug but me and my friend couldn't go because we went to Butter Factory and were enjoying ourselves. They missed our company and their night wasn't really that great. The next day, they have their hair done and I was met them briefly before spending the night with the cruise friend.

So make that Sat, Sun, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Sat, Sun. We just knew each other and already spending so much time together. Goodness.

19th August I went to the LP concert, and they actually went to V while I was away... when I finished they asked me to go so I went and joined them later. Got teased by V who complained she wanted to go to the concert too but can't take a leave so yeah. After that we went to Mamak to have supper and chatted more.

Next day, the bar manager had a birthday bash from the boss of the bar and quite alot of celebrities were there. It was very crowded and atmosphere was high, almost all of the band's best players were playing that night. V was dressed very nice and had a good night, until someone copied her friend's pic w/o permission and that made her angry and sad. Her tears flowed in front of us and I felt really sorry and worried for her. We weren't in a position to stay long though so we left early and even had a sprint session with my friend haha.

The next night we went again.. even though I was tired as fuck but i wanted to see if V is okay. In a night she'd blocked all her photos and that actually made things dull. But whatever makes her happy. The other two didn't plan to come but eventually did and we stayed away from alcohol for the night. V was happy until she saw a stalker-ish guy coming with his friends, and that made her unhappy and unsafe again. The guy even gave her hundred-dollar bills with beer to her, and that pissed her off even more.

She escaped with bodyguards and we met up for supper and that's when we get to know more abt V. She has so many admirers and some of them have been acting really immature and over the line in her books, and she's pretty pissed off. Either way she had a good time hanging out with us, and we all took a pic and she thanked us for our continuous 3-day support again.

So that's what's been happening to me in August, meet new friends, gotten to know alot of stuff etc. This Sunday the cruise friend is going away back to work again, and it's sad and funny how time flies really fast. Then we gonna sing k with W & S (practice round before singing with V and N, if it does come around) so we'll see how it goes, but I'm prepared to go all crazy.

August, what a month!
