Zonkout!

The Recreation Club from our company was throwing an event called Zonkout and when a few coworkers decided to attend we thought we would join them.  The event promised food, free flow drinks (open bar as Americans would say), and lots of fun and games.  The theme was Masquerade so we were given some nice masks when we walked in although we only put them on for a minute.

The food was terrible but everything is better with free flow drinks.  About an hour in they started the program off with a best dressed competition and then games which included modifications of hot potato, musical chairs, and scavenger hunts.  Some winners received gift cards while other winners and losers were required to take a shot or chug a glass of beer.


A few months ago I wrote about how many Singaporeans do not drink and at a party are likely to prefer juice boxes.  Well, this was not the case at Zonkout.  This was by far the drunkest we have seen any Singaporeans get since we arrived.  With free flow drinks, they were consuming tequila shots faster than they could wash the shot glasses.

Sonia and I had to do the traditional Asian photo pose.  We had a hilarious conversation
with coworkers about picture taking prior to the event so we took this one for them.

Alok, me, Luke, Derek, and Sonia.  Apologies for the terrible photo quality.

The event ended early in the night as the club needed to open up to paying customers.  After having a few drinks and little food, we were on the hunt for some great post-bar food.  Normally we would go to Waffle House, Zaxby's, or some other equally greasy and tasty establishment but in Singapore the selection is small so we landed on Hooters.  It was just what we needed! Oh, how we have missed buffalo wings!  It was another unique experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.  It was great to hang out with some friends and meet a few new people!
