I needed a beer

Frustrated with deprivation of alcohol... I messaged almost everyone I knew but no one was free!!! People are either off for a weekend holiday, sick, busy, taking care of kid or they don't drink at all. I'm beginning to realise I do lack of friends whom are spontaneous enough. My potential drinking mates are unfortunately thousands of miles away and no one is left to 借酒消愁 with me, in fact it's not ,it is 。My days at home are bugged with fruitless job searching and an overdose of beauty sleep. I needed a stimulant.

Strangely, the first thing on my mind is ALCOHOL. (I'm not alcoholic I SWEAR and I don't intend to be one!)

I ended up persuading both my sisters (whom are more party-poopers than clubbers) to come along, gladly they did because I think they needed a stimulant as well in their too-routine life. ChinaOne is a nice place but sadly they do not carry enough variety of BEERS!!! We stood like pillars with our Corona-s, my sister looked so tense and uneasy, the other tired and grumpy. Not the best night, really... I was starting to regret making them come.

At about 11pm, one of them wanted to leave... I reluctantly obliged as the boredom marked on her face was infectious. So I made a last trip to the Ladies. Upon returning to the table, I noticed a couple of familiar faces - people from a travel community whom I met once.

Right then, my party mood started to surface, I decided to stay and it was a wise decision. My lil sister, being a clubbing virgin, wanted to do the same. I also bumped into an ex-colleague, John, whom stayed around too... A fruitful night afterall, I managed to get my dose of alcohol (beer), met new people, saw old familiar faces and also taught my lil sister a new lesson about partying-dancing-clubbing!

Quoted this from my sister's blog:
"My sister is just a really adaptable creature; a side of her I haven't seen before. She is always up and about and asking people to the dancefloor."

And to be honest, I don't think I know myself that well enough... but something for sure is that I am constantly changing and learning. If you say I was really a quiet person in the past, I would agree with you. But now... apparently things have changed. Yesterday, I bumped into John (an ex-colleague) whom has set off my wanderlust... he was selling me off to his mate (Pete) that I was once the most boring person in Singapore - having not gotten out of Singapore for the first 21 years of my life. And then he said - look at me now... I probably know more about UK than he does (which I don't reckon!).
