Gosh

I must be the last person in the civilised, IT-savvy world to know of Technocrati, the specialised blog search engine.

Drinking at The Labyrinth last night was turning out to be another sober affair - although Jianming, Daryl and I had almost an entire bottle of Jim Beam - until Daryl's friend, Steven, who's one of the pub owners came and Daryl got him to concoct their special premium cocktail that according to Daryl has Barcarrdi 151 among other potent spirits. Yum.

Steven came with the turqoise-coloured drink in a martini glass and advised me to suck it all up in one breath cause it'll be difficult to finish the rest of the drink if I stop halfway. Sure, no problem I thought. I took a deep breath, and drank up the liquid using a straw, feeling burning sensations in my nose and throat. My eyes were tearing as I finished it, but I felt remarkably sober. Oh shit, I thought. The drink must be one of those delayed-reaction poisons that will leave you feeling deceptively sober until the kick comes up from behind and slams your head with a sledgehammer.

Jianming was determined not to be left out of the fun, so he got Daryl to order one more serving of the potent liquid. After going through almost the exact experience as I did, he proclaimed the drink "nice", and I agreed! Daryl conveyed the msg to Steven who stated incredulously that Daryl has "crazy friends". Well, birds of the same feather ..

We finished up the Jim Beam, and walked out of the place relatively sober. High, but sober. Oh, and other non-alcohol related updates include Daryl and Jianming serenading the pub with a few choice songs on the karaoke system, and this pretty waitress who's the resident eye-candy.

I'm still laptop-less. I feel like I'm getting over a break up. It's geekily depressing.
