Farewell to Alec and Claire

Alec Walker, my next door neighbour, is going back to Texas (Rice University) on 17/06/08. And our friend Claire, is going back to Seoul (Korea University) on 21/06/08. They just finished their Student Exchange Programme at National University of Singapore.

Claire and Alec.

The bunch of us decided to throw them a farewell dinner and cocktail party.

We had dinner at Marche @ Vivocity.

Alec doing a bit of shopping.

Followed by cocktails at Klee Bar @ Portsdown Road. Recommended by our dear friend Eugene, who is currently working as a waiter there. We started drinking in the taxi down to Klee Bar. We also drowned ourself in cocktails at the bar, almost $500 worth!

That's Eugene! First time mingling with him in person since I met him years ago on Orangeous!

$458 worth of cocktails. So drunk that I forgot what I drank.

June, Claire's Korean friend, joined us for some drinks after Alec left, and we took turns (secretly of course!) chugging at the bottle of Korean liquor which he brought along. We hid the bottle under the table.

That is June, also from Korea.

I was too drunk to even recall what happened that night, after we shifted from outdoor to indoor sitting. We took lots of pictures. The girls dared Eugene and I to take off our clothes and in a drunken stupor, we complied! Oh my god. And I didn't even recall doing that until I saw the pictures.

Ken, the bar manager, in the middle.

Big thanks to Eugene, who paid special attention to our table that night. We had lots and lots of fun!

The following night, my parents suggested that we bring Alec and Claire out for dinner at Jumbo @ Riverside Point.

All of us at Jumbo Seafood.

We promised them that we would keep in touch and hopefully visit them in Texas and Seoul when we have the time and money to.

Farewell Alec and Claire! All of us here in Singapore will miss you both!
