Went to Zouk last night. It's my 1st time there and I enjoyed myself tremendously. It's not the music or atmosphere, but the company of people I went with. Every year after Teachers' Day Dinner, my colleagues will definitely go somewhere to "chiong". This year, without fail, they organised and I went to meet them. I went a couple of times before with different groups of people. I guess I still prefer drinking with them. Adults being adults. We are never crazy in the things that we do. Just pure, clean fun of dancing and drinking.

One of my colleagues said his wife, Annie, misses me. Haha. That's because I always drink with her and I'm kinda on par with her drinking. (She's pretty disappointed that her husband can't drink.) Haha! Indeed, she was happy to see me after 2 long years. I had a Whisky Dry, Brandy Dry, shared a Long Island Tea and 2 Tequila shots. Brandy Dry is nice! Whisky Dry is too "sweet" for me. The Long Island Tea was SO different from the one that I had before at other places. It doesn't taste strong to me. It's quite sour but nice. Annie said it's very strong because it's made of 7 different kinds of liquor. Anyway, we were about to leave and we still had 4 free drinks. We wanted to try Lamborghini (the one with fire). However, it can't be redeemed using the coupons. Thus, I challenged Annie to 2 Tequila shots each. After that 2 quick shots we had, we could feel the effects of alcohol on us. I was still pretty alert. Just that my "whole" is spinning. We'll try Lamborghini the next time. Went for supper with a couple of them and then another colleague sent me home.

I love to drink and try out different kinds of liquor. I'd only gotten drunk once when I was in the darkest pit of my life. Puked twice that painful day. It wasn't a good feeling. In fact, I felt terrible. Why would anyone wanna drink to drown their sorrows? It's not as if it's gonna lessen the sorrows. My take is, it makes one feels worser than before. And after that painful incident, I've never touched Vodka again. And I won't wanna get drunk again, though sometimes the temptation is great.

Some people will feel that going such places with me is a bore, cos I don't dance and I don't play, but I enjoy the drinks. So if you go plainly for drinks like me, you are welcome to ask me along.
