Hangover

Yesterday had reunion dinner (年夜饭) with colleagues at a restaurant known as 明星粗菜馆 in 绿宝广场 which was an hour's bus ride from my apartment.

On bus 307

This shopping mall looks like Amsterdam to me, except for the "La Piazza" signboard which is Italian? And also the Chinese signboard which is obviously China

Ma colleagues, both of whom were drunk towards the end of the dinner

This coconut milk and a big bottle of orange kept me from being drunk, even though I've never drank so much red wine in the whole of my life before

When 小龚said that I could hold my liqour well, I could only say that for every glass of red wine I gulped down, I will take a glass of orange juice to hydrate myself... And of course, back in sg dr gave me quite a number of red wine training sessions?

This dinner has exposed me to the Chinese (in China) culture. Everyone will take turn to toast to each other. It's either 随意, which means you can just take a sip of the wine; but most of the time, they prefer to 干掉, which means you must drink all! I then recall an article that I read which said that once you take the first glass, there'll always be second and more to come. Thus, in order to not get drunk, the guest must not touch the glass wine at all from the start, & to firmly give a reason such as "I have sore throat."

This is the Sg curry crab; boss asked me to taste first if this is similar to Sg's recipe... I could only say this taste even better than the chilli crab I had back home.

Went KTV and I sang 2 songs (yang cong by yang zhong wei, & another oldie song requested by a colleague called "Nothing's gonna change my love for you") before I left home.

Can't sleep well due to the alcohol effect, which left me feeling extremely stoned.

Woke up this morning and I thought I was in Genting Highlands

My target is to sleep at 2130 tonight in order to make up for my poor sleep last night. Hoo hoo~
