Party Time On Saturday Night: We Quaffed Wine

Saturday night always means something. Finish the work of the whole weekdays, no pressure (if you can really do that), and plenty of time. Everybody is looking for someone to be with, to do something together.

Last Saturday night was a good one to me since I came to the States. All the international students went to a nearby city Greenville to celebrate the nice couple Ben (the french) and Shelby (the American)'s birthdays. 5 cars, nearly 20 people, boys and girls, all the way to a Japanese restaurant. It was good, a lot better than the cafeteria of school. 

I treasure the time of enjoying food with people after I came here. When I am in Hongkong, people do not talk that much when they eat. I guess it is not a Chinese thing. Chinese do not usually share what they think. I guess. People just keep looking at their cellphones, sending out text messages, or playing games. They seem too busy to talk. But here, people carry out conversations on the table. People more treasure the quality time when they eat. As I am here, I do the same. Every time when I eat with my friends in the cafeteria, I talk, I listen. It becomes a very important to me in a day. I see it as a mingling time, friends become closer to each other. I cannot eat alone, I do not like to eat alone.

We back from meal and we decided to play all night to celebrate the birthdays. I think it was a great idea because it was Saturday night. I had bad mood on that day, even the day before, or the past one week. Having fun with friends for one night does not harm!

A table of alcohol. Lights off, lase on. We danced, we talked, we watched videos, we took silly pictures, we quaffed wine. We had fun. I know we did. Party is never a thing that I used to. I do not party a lot back at home. The so called "party" to me is not like the party in USA, not consuming alcohol that much, not dancing that much. 

But I felt like not hating it on Saturday night. I enjoyed it a lot. I felt safe being around with friends even though we were all drunk. We did not even know what our conversations were, we just talked nothing. It meant something to me. Yeah, it was the night that I really felt release. 

"Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets just love;
 We can dance until we die, you and I will be young forever."


Me and my friends sing this song in the car for one million times.
