We went out drinking with the Voices bunch on Friday night; Sumi was back from Washington and was gonna leave soon. The night started out rather dull. Sy and I were late, but still we were the first to arrive there - Craft Brewery (not recommended, and after that night, I doubt they'd welcome us back with open arms).

To its credit, the food portion was big and I liked the mashed potato although I got sick of it before I even finished it. So maybe it wasn't all that good.

Anyhoo, it was quiet with a bit of chit chat here and there for a while, until the boys arrived... and then the place got a little chattier (I don't know if that's even a word, but what the hey). More talk, more drinks. The beer was quite mild...

At one point Sy was chatting with Praba and I went and stand next to him because I got bored of sitting alone. Sy complained that I complained about his lack of proposal (see linked-post above), and Praba, kinda drunkenly, said he should give a proper proposal (not his exact words, but whatever he said that night, it implied that he meant that - or maybe it's just me). So Sy went, okay, okay, I'll do it.

And he swiftly moved the chair, went down on one knee and asked, "Iris, would you marry me?" with a cigarette in his hand, to which I said, "With a cigarette in your hand?!" to which he replied by taking the ciggie from his hand and to his mouth (LOL). Then the others shouted, "Speech, speech, speech!" To which he complied...

"Iris, you're the best thing that ever happened to me. Will you marry me?" And he handed me his promise ring to me (I wasn't wearing my ring then).

I teared up asap, and said yes, halfway between a jump and wanting to go, "Woooo hooooo!"

Congratulations here and there. I did not see how the rest of the diners/ drinkers reacted. Didn't care for that while.

Sayang, you're the best thing that ever happened to me too. I'm sorry I'm such a baby with the proposal and the ring and the rest of what-nots, but well.... I am such a baby. =D

In between all that, we made a lot noise throughout the night at the brewery. We also had plenty of disputes with the staffs about the number of pints that we should've had. About the 3-pints promotion that Sumi wasn't informed of and that's she insisted that she be able to buy it anyway even though the (supposed) time for the purchase was over. About the Bingo vouchers that we won (yeah, they have Bingo there and our table won 3 vouchers out of 2 rounds!) which they claimed they've given to us, which actually, they didn't. And about the vouchers that we couldn't use until the next day, which Annu fought over and managed to us 9 free pints of beer out of those vouchers.

Ahhh... crazy night.
