Sunday Blues

I'm feeling pretty mellow right now. Laying on the rug in my room seeing rain pouring down outside *insert mellow song about lost love and heart breaks here* simply because I'm lazy, while at the same time it's also an attempt to avoid my aunt and her kids from out of town whom I don't like mostly because they think :
- I'm a spoiled, arrogant Jakarta bimbo
- I must have no brain because I insist to do my music along with my school. Her kids are never that troubling, you see? Academically perfect with scholarships to Japan and no partying habit
- I have no manner. Well, with them criticizing and complaining about me all the time to my parents, are they seriously expecting me to be in my best behavior?

The feeling is mutual though. I hate them because whenever they visit my family, the woman is always being a suck up to my dad since she knows he'd always give her a fat load of cash along with my driver and a car to take her and her oh-so-perfect sons around town.

I'm pissed. I think you might already get the point so I wont continue tarnishing my precious blog by writing more about them.

Weekend is almost over in this part of the world. Overall, it's pretty exciting and definitely better than the last one. We were thinking about going to watch Defected In The House, Shapeshifters, and Joey Negro in this club Dragonfly last night but finally decided against it. Man, that was such a right decision in the end.

So after dinner and meeting up with some friends for coffee at Senayan City, me and Angga went to Pure for Dhanya's birthday. She's my brother's friend and just turned 17 so many teens were there all bubbly, drunk, and screaming i love you to each other. They're mostly new to club scenes and got over excited. So this old and rusty girl ( haha ) headed to the bar and ordered "the strongest cocktail in the house" to the bartender who smugly smirked and handed me something green which made me lightheaded after a few sips. We ended up sitting with the club owner and his entourage and having tequila shots before bailing to Blowfish.

Blowfish was packed and we met Cessa, her boyfriend, her friends from Bangkok, and my friend Cliff. Bottles of liquors were ordered and everyone seemed to be in a get mood. I felt better instantly as I talked to the girls about Thailand, funny stories, past relationships and everything else. We drank, danced, treated random people like they're our new best friends, got some girl out of the toilet after they threw up. You know, the usual and it was fun. I realized I was tipsy though because there's no way I could be that cozy to new people if I'm fully sober. I'm shy. WHAT? I'm being serious.

Did you have a good weekend?

    Relatives like that.. eurgghh. And I believe you when you say you're shy. The "shyest" people are the ones who go craziest while on stage, most of the time. Heh.

    I've joined the 20sb Facebook page already!
    Glad you had a good weekend - apart from the annoying relatives.

  1. L.L. said...:

    Oh I miss the partying days of my youth, ha ha ha. I remember being able to drink whatever the bartender handed to me. Now I have a list of things I can't drink because they make me throw up. Ugh.

  1. I've got some relatives like that! Just makes you want to hide out somewhere until they leave!! x

  1. ~*Miss A*~ said...:

    Gotta love relatives!! I often try to stay away from most of mine who visit because of the same reason.

  1. Mary Elizabeth said...:

    Ahhh. the relatives we love so much...I'm glad you had a good night, usually when I drink something green I am not so sober after too long either. =)

  1. Chase said...:

    "you know, the usual"

    sounds like a great weekend!


    I enjoyed getting my message from you :P

  1. the relatives on my dad's side are like that too. one word: annoying. much much more annoying when these aunts tried to match make me with their bestfriends' sons - EUWW. ignore them, don't let them spoil your day :)

  1. Melissa said...:

    My father's side of the family are horrible people, we try to ignore their existence. They pretty much hate me...so we are in the same boat.

    "The strongest drink in the House"...wonder what it was. Green, I'm intrigued!

  1. Leland said...:

    Your weekend sounds like a lot of fun, minus the obnoxious relatives... but don't we all have those? :)

  1. Sheri said...:

    Relatives like those really are horrible. >< I hope they leave ASAP!

    Glad to hear you had fun this weekend though regardless of the relative situation! :)

  1. jlc said...:

    Hope the blues leave you soon....

  1. Christina said...:

    Sounds like a good time, besides the annoying family!!! I needed a good drunken weekend but instead I ended up fighting with my boyfriend. Awesomeness.

  1. Lame relatives. We all have one but I'm sorry you have a little handful right there invading your space.

  1. ScoMan said...:

    My aunty isn't happy with her own kids let alone anyone elses. Anything any of us do she's like "Oh, see I would never do that I would..."

    Who needs extended family?

    Sounds like you had a great weekend. Even after not being in party mood Friday night.

  1. I had a pretty good weekend except the part I'm about to rant about on my page. Also I'm pretty spoiled too , I lie and say "I'm not spoiled, I'm just well provided for."

    but, again I'm lieing.

    Partying is for lames.

    resist.

  1. Cheryl said...:

    Ugh. My mom's side of the family is exactly like that. Drives me insane because I know they're judging me- but whatever. I am so totally judging them also.

  1. Your weekend sounded fabulous I wish I had that much alkie in mine :-(

  1. I never had to deal with relatives growing up but now that I'm older and my family is in a better place financially, they suddenly come to out house to pay us a visit. There's always a hidden agenda when long lost relatives come to visit.

  1. floreta said...:

    hehe i never thought of you as shy :)

  1. Margarita said...:

    Sounds like a fun weekend. Joining up the facebook page now. And don't worry too much about family, they get over things.

  1. I hate some one my relatives too and they just happen to be the ones that share a condo with us on our beach trips every year!

    At least your night was fun. I am shy too. If I ever went to a new job or interview, I think I would be better off drunk....haha

  1. nityamonto said...:

    iiihh.. annoying relatives. its none of their business if they have to criticize you. don't you care about him. wow.. sounds like fun weekend. hmm.. something green.. absinth? LOL.

  1. my weekend was long, very long. i don't want it to end!

  1. Brooke said...:

    Right there with you... I always need a couple drinks and suddenly I'm GREAT friends with everyone :) Glad you had a great weekend!

  1. mieletcannelle said...:

    Sounds like a good weekend - nice cure for the relative blues. *smile*

  1. Larissa said...:

    i'm glad you had a good weekend! yeah annoying relatives can certainly put a damper on things. so what was the "strongest drink in the house"?

  1. Jen said...:

    re: your comment in my blog -
    biasa, sayang... I've left all of my work 'til the very very last minute so I'm currently hyperventilating at the crazy amount of shit I have to do to catch up and hand everything in next week! GAAARGH!

    Anyway, don't worry about your aunt and cousins. Believe me, we all have shitty relatives like that. It's kind of a way of life, I think.

  1. @Nashe : You're actually one of the rare people who think that. You're a goddess.

    @Nic : How was your weekend, love?

    @LL : Oh I have some things in my list too, and I'm still 21. For examples : macallan, straight whisky, martell. Seriously I cant drink those or i barf.

    @Jen : That's what I've been doing :D

    @Miss A : annoying right? It's crazier when it's your extended relatives.

    @Mary Elizabeth : LOL glad we're on the same page here.

    @Chase : What can i say i was seriously drifting haha

    @Ejannz : Ahhh the notorious family matchmaking business. I hate this a lot, they tend to make me date guys that they consider "good men". Translates : making you snore from boredom.

    @Melissa : ask your nearest bartender, I wonder what that is.

    @Leland : I'm a bit relieved that I'm not alone and people dont think im this mean obnoxious person. I hope not. They're just horrible.

    @Sheri : Did you go on any paranormal activities, Sheri? I wanna read about those.

    @JLC : Thanks, gorgeous.

    @Christina : OH I'm sorry :( what's wrong? I hope you already made up by now :(

    @Just Playing Pretend : Thank you, I already feel so much better now.

    @Scoman : ahhh those relatives are the worst. Sorry you had those too.

    @Perplxin Texan : LOL resist!:P

    @Cheryl : LOL yeah mutual hate, ironic but unavoidable at the same time.

    @Girl In A Journey: You can make up next weekend for the alkie :) just as long as you have fun.

    @Skywind : Yes they do ?

    @Angel : AHHH I'm familiar with those, how thick skinned people can be anyway? Sorry, Angel.

    @Floreta : I AM :P

    @Margarita : Yeah I just hope if they cant give me a break then they should leave me alone :P

    @Gwen B : HAHAHA yeahhh it cures stage fright everytime I'm about to perform too and get me in one of those rock star mode :P

    @Nitya : HAHAHA I WISH. No they're a mixed of 10 liquors. Absinthe could make me drop dead in just a few shots though, hallucinate as well lol

    @Alexa : LOL I dont want mine to end too.

    @Brooke : AHHH to be friendly and happy. What a kick off to a weekend.

    @mieletcanelle : yes that's the only thing to help cure the blues a little :D

    @Larissa : I wish I know what that was :P Next time I visit that club I'll certainly make a mental note to ask, and order more :P

    @Jen : Aw I'm having problems with procrastinating too until the very last minute and it gets me freaked out. I hope everything can be done and works well, Jen :) Good luck.

  1. ChinkyGirLMeL said...:

    Wow, well your aunt is user friendly. She's such a sucker...sucks up to your dad and sucks up your money and gas too. tsk tsk...

  1. Rahul said...:

    The relatives of my dad side are also the same, but one thing i'll like to mention they never ask or take money from dad (and anyone as well), the reason I hate them, because even one among their so called "perfect" son, sneaked about my smoking habits to my parents..

    I just wished to give that guy a tight slap, but I was afraid, if he says about this too.. then..?

  1. Muppet Soul said...:

    Relatives suck.

    It's like, their job, or something.

    I LOVE THAT SIGN.
