M = Multi-lingual 多舌

I try my best never to spend Saturday nights at home, and whenever possible, taking the chance to do something out of the ordinary once in a while, as advised by an internet friend of mine. So yesterday, although I was still feeling a bit sore that we weren't going clubbing as I planned a MONTH in advance, I was determined not to let anything ruin a wonderful night. After all, it was La Femme Nikita's birthday.

We went to M (museum) Cafe for some after dinner cocktails. It's this ultra-chic and cozy coffee shop near the tranquil zen garden beside the mall. It was kinda pretentious I have to admit, but the ambience and service were just fantastic and they played the best chillout-lounge music around. Note: When looking for a quaint place to hangout, never scrimp on the prerequisites.

All 4 of us were very well-dressed, as if any time on a whim, we may still decide to go clubbing at the end of it all. Of course that NEVER happened, but it wasn't to say I was disappointed. On the contrary, it was all rather like this infamous MTV live performance that featured 3 famous pop divas in their wedding gowns. You won't get my point right now so just continue and read on Ü

On the 1st round we tried all sorts of drinks:

1. Strawberry Crush - our all-time favorite; a mixture of thick milky liqueur with crushed strawberries and vodka.

2. Lychee Martini - a good substitute for the former; martini with those sweet canned lychee preserves.

3. Dry Martini - Joeboy's order straight-up with 3 little olives impaled on a toothpick.

4. Vanilla Salabat - my attempt at trying to be "daring" on drinks; not good. The ginger taste was only amazing with the side salad dressing.

On the 2nd and 3rd round we were already speaking foreign languages:

Russian. Samovar. Dosvidania. Le Femme Nikita was too tipsy to recall the rest of her basic learnings.

Español. La mujercita es una mentirosa. ¿Donde esta mi camarero? El "girto" es como un baso. Y tu papá tambien.

Mandarin. ¿Donde esta el chiníto camarero??? There were other stuff I was pronouncing fluently in Mandarin (who knew I could still speak it?!) but it wouldn't make any sense typing it down phoenetically.

Try this: 世界和平 Shr-Xie Huh-An ... "World Peace" Hahahaha

Fookien. Ho-eh. Bo lan chao. Lan chao bin. Chi bai bin.

Tagalog. Putang-ina. Lasing ka na ba? Make tusok-tusok the fishballs.

English. Imperatives. I've done my part of the deal by kissing YOU. Now, I wanna see YOU kissing HER.

French. Kissing. Avec un peu langue.
