Q: is lychee martini the drink to buy for girls?

was begged to go down to acid bar last night, and i went because she convinced me that i needed to get out. maybe she was wrong, because i ended being a rather pitiful sight -- let's save that story for another day ( :

so we took our seats in an inconspicuous corner of the bar. the waitress came and handed over the menus. honestly, i wasn't up for anything that couldn't wash down sorrow.

shortly after, another waitress came by our tables and set 2 glasses of lychee martini's on our table.

i'm sorry, we didn't order these. i pointed out.
someone bought them for you.
oh? i looked over at my girl friend. she looked just as confused.
who? she asked.
erm.. a guy.. i'm not sure really.
it's alright, i was about to order a lychee martini! pipes my girl friend.
we thanked the waitress, and she scooted off quickly.

i figured, i'll enjoy the martini - and if it doesn't go well with the mood, i'll order up a beer. we decided that it was possibly her friend who was up on stage playing his originals, one entitled 'ashes', who bought the lychee martinis for us.


later the waitress returned and passed me a stranger's namecard and with a handwritten note at the back:
"thanks for brightening up the joint. hope you liked the drinks."

- J, (9xxx xxxx) <-- yes he left me his handphone number. hahaaa. of course,i messaged him to thank him for the drinks. here's how the world gets smaller; he's really close friends with one of my girl friends.

'why did you buy us lychee martinis?'
'thought you might like it.'

A: i guess lychee martini's are great too. but for me, an iced milo would win hands down anyday.
