just came back from perth last night and will be flying to paris tomorrow night. hell...it's gonna be a tiring flight.

perth was all right. it was the shortest australian sector i've ever done and the first time i got saboed (sabotaged) to drink with my flight mates. we arrived in perth in the later part of the afternoon, and had just about an hour till the shops closed. so we went to the nearest woolworth's and got some groceries and then to a place just next to the hotel (which, incidentally, is pretty dingy and down) for dinner. then a couple of other dudes from the same team joined us at the table, one of whom wasn't flying with us but was in perth on another flight. his name's arthur, by the way. so anyways, they were all set to hang out at this one guy's room after dinner, so i just went ahead with the mind of leaving after an hour or so. so a few of them sat down and started playing some card games, with a couple of us just reading the papers and chatting. after a while, a couple of this girl's guy friends joined us in the room and we just started playing indian poker...it's like this game where you don't see your card, and you dare another person an amount of liquor or wine that your card's bigger. i drank quite a bit in that game...haha...but i got the hang of it. then they changed to spinning the bottle...now that was stupid. the tip of the bloody vodka bottle just kept gravitating in my direction! man...the horror! thankfully though, i could give them straight answers to almost everything they asked. then they dared me to kiss this guy (who, i think is old enough to be my dad but is really nice)...man, it took me a long time to decide whether to kiss him or drink the half glass of wine. i just drank the wine in the end...which was what everyone there expected of me...haha. even that guy (arthur) kept saying "she'll drink the wine lah!". when i lamented that i couldn't shuffle cards properly, he said something like "you're really a good girl, aren't you
?" then when they brought food in, he started passing me vegetables...haha...that was hilarious...

so that was my perth adventure...haha...nothing much really. one fine day, i shall tell you guys bout that one time this passenger passed me a serviette...i sure hope he isn't reading this...actually, i really doubt he'll read this.
