Ah..today is a very fun day…I mean at least, the “after meeting” activities were absolutely fun.. haha…
There was a gala dinner which a few hundred people attended. Free flow of booze as usual…with buffet food…Food was mostly snacks like kebabs, sandwiches, sushi, tacos, some traditional Mexican stuff like bean dips and salads, etc. It was nice catching up & drinking with some people I know…
And then voila, a Mexican I know jio-ed us to go with them to a traditional Mexican pub. Us being myself & HC , 2 Malaysians, 1 HongKonger and 1 Taiwanese. So off we went…20 of us all packed into a van and went off to the pub which about 7 minutes away from the gala dinner venue.
Live bands around…3 bands at a few tables playing. People dancing…drinking. Before I knew it, I was one of those dancing as well… haha…not bad leh, I can dance!! Albeit a little stiff hahaa….the Latinos can really groove… haha…A Mexican and an American were trying to guide me haha…
There was one thing unique. A game which they play. Apparently there’ll be this guy who walks around the pub with an device. This device has two insulated wires running from it, at the the end of the wires, there’ll be two metal sticks.
A group of people holds each others hands in a circle…One person will hold one metal stick, the next person will hold the other metal stick. And then the staff will turn on the device which shoots off electric currents…Everyone is holding hands and linked in the circle…so what happens is the current will run through everyone!
It starts off as a little tingling feeling which gets stronger and stronger as the staff ups the current running from the device. Whoever who can’t tahan the current and lets go (i.e breaks the circle) will buy that round of drinks hahaha…
Let’s just say it was interesting to see such a “game”…but I didn’t particularly enjoy it hahha…..
Ouch
TMD, fell down today whilst walking back to the hotel…zzz…
Either I was walking too fast in my heels, or I wasn’t paying attention…slipped on the pavement at a portion where there was a small downward slope.
Ended up kneeling on the pavement…There was this Mexican big burly uncle who came to my rescue… haha…helped me up…Think I gave HC a shock, one moment I was talking to him then the next second I was on the ground…
I now have one big bruise on my right knee…one big “orh cheh”, slightly swollen zzz…
Self
Ok, so apart from that dumb bruise..I think I'm a little worse for wear than back home in SG. Slight rash going on..I think it's the dry weather plus the constant temperature changes...HC said it's a cold rash...my legs are itchy...:(
I have small cuts on my left hand caused by my nametag and paper cuts. They don't seem to be healing well.
My face is peeling. Forehead, nose, cheeks...skin has split from my fingernails on three of my finger on my right hand...but darn moisturiser doesn't seem to be working very well...I am starting to have scaly front calves now...hmmm.,...
Oh yah, too much calories... haha..tsk tsk...
Graciousness
This is one thing I wish Singaporeans and Asians in general could have. A Latino held the lift for me for a very long time even thought I was like more than 10 metres away….
Guy caucasians would let me pass through the door first…the Mexican drivers of our hotel shuttle bus would call me “Seniorita” and help me down the bus when I’m getting down.
Till Here
Not enough sleep…zzz.. haha…gonna dry my hair liaozzz then iron a top for tomorrow and then head to bed…It’s 245am Mex time (5 March) and 445pm in SG time (5 March)…
