Pub Hopping
I first met up with two friends and start exchanging all the gossips (*cough* *cough* I meant catching up! They are real hard men, of course, they don't do gossip! My bad!) over dinner and then one of them kindly offered me a ride to Ponsonby. However, I thought it's just me forgetting where I parked my car, but no. He couldn't find his car and I was bursting! After all the dramas and playing find-a-space-to-sit-in-a-mess-car game, I finally got to my first bar for the Pub Quiz (or the American would like to call it the Trivia night).
We couldn't deny it, but yes we really sucked. Whatever! (which incidentally was our team's name) I have never been good at this game, so it didn't really surprise me that I wasn't so much helpful! But it didn't spoil my mood like it normally would in the past. It's because that I now accept myself who is just not good at certain things and it's okay to be imperfect :P We left halfway through and aimed for the next bar - Poetry reading.
It was quite a new experience for me and I didn't know what to expect. The whole room was packed. We walked across the room and sat on the floor spontaneously. I didn't like most of the poems. However, there was this lady who had such a gift describing things with rhythm and wit. She had two poems and I loved both of them. We joined halfway through and left halfway through, because he was starting getting bored. Time for the next bar.
I promised to take them to my little green bar in Ponsonby. However, I didn't realise how far away it really was. Although we walked the entire street (Good exercise, I claimed!), we did find it and they did love it!! It was as cosy as my last time here and we chatted until as late as my last bus home.

What is the name of your little green bar in Ponsonby? or is it just called the little green bar?
It's called Anita's little green bar and you have to come out with me to see the charm of it. Without me, there isn't nearly awesome as it could have been ;)
