For Dickson - His 21st

Last night, it was definitely an one-off, real life drama. Originally it was a birthday party for my cousin, Dickson. I was having bubbles and whistles. As usual, i would actively take photos for memories.

Things turned out differently when Dickson drank. Somehow, the effects of his celebration spilled over to another party - Yvonne's - next door. Charged with alcohol, he did whatever you darn him to. Best of all, it was the way he joined in - loud and bold. That was enough to project an image of a sassy boyfriend.

Entered the room, filled with unknowns, he demanded,"Who's the birthday girl?" I thought it was probably all night he wanted to have fun in Yvonne's party but with the help of the green tea-flavoured alcohol, he transformed. The crowd was stunned. The birthday girl was summoned. At first, it was a simple handshake and birthday greeting. Then it was a simple photo shot. Then an exchange of contact. Not too much of a request. Then again, a new request came. How about drinking with hands intertwined?

Still, it was small case. Dramas are serialised in this case. So he re-entered the room. This time, he bellowed," Slap me!" It was better to slap than a no-show. Of course, Yvonne was reluctant. However, with 'official' permission given, she slapped half of her full strength. It was bad shot. Dickson demanded for double, tight slaps. So he was slapped and the drama ended with birthday greeting.

Perhaps the show was thought to be over. It was 3rd time lucky for Yvonne. He stormed the room. With his command, i brought him 2 chairs. He sat on one and hit on the other chair for Yvonne to sit on. He wanted to drink with her. By then, before them, it was a group of girls with cameras, camera phones and whatever the girls got so long as the devices could record the amazing moment. They were like paparazzi. So they drank. Somehow, the girl had problem drinking. Dickson drank it on her behalf.

So wasn't he just LOUD and BOLD that fateful night, recorded as 050909?
