Chalet was pretty fun. The barbeque was standard enough, but nobody goes to chalet for just the food.
There's the drinks too.
Haha... But it wasn't some drink-fest. Thank goodness too. Though a couple of guys got stone drunk, it was on the whole quite mild. And I can't really stand the taste of vodka. Do people actually
like the stuff? It was funny, how I had my first taste of it. (I know I know, pretty late by Singaporean teen standards, when you observe how underaged teens flock to DXO and Butter Factory and MOS and whatnot, and guzzle themselves silly with Tequila shots and other things, which I can't name.)
Anyway, it's prefectly legal for me to drink, so I don't see a big problem with it, since I don't drink to get drunk. The only thing standing in the way is the TB medication.
Yes I have the bloody (pun not intended) TB infection. I don't think I've mentioned it before, since it's not that big a deal. And no, it's not infectious.
Back to the drinking thing, medicine and vodka don't mix. But it's only one night, so a try wouldn't really kill. There was a bottle of Absolut Apeach, which I was warned would hit me like a rock. The stuff
smells good, all fruity and everything, so I didn't take the warning seriously, and took a gulp.
WHOA, it hit me like a rock alright.
Why do people like to drink so much? The stuff is so horribly bitter. I had about a mugful of vodka that night, but I chickened out halfway through and added all sorts of other things to the vodka in an attempt to sweeten it. Nevertheless, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach sometime in the night. I stayed at least 90% sober though, and that's the most important part okay!
On the second night, it was much quieter since there was no barbeque. Eight people only, so we spent the night playing cards. I learnt a lot about bridge, and now I really love the game. I had a tiny bit of Absolut Apeach again, but this time I mixed it with peach tea. I love it! There's the sweetness of the peach tea, yet with a subtle kick from the vodka. Though one alcohol-loving friend of mine was saying that it was like drinking water, and that I "wasn't man enough".
Hahaha... That's a good one. Well, I don't think there's a need for me to prove my "manhood", simply because there isn't one to prove. Haha...
Bailey's was nice though. I like! It tastes like coffee liquer, and I drank till I was wide awake, and the last person to fall asleep that night. I slept from freaking 4
AM to 6
AM. Gosh! Mostly because the floor is hard and cold. But it was a fun experience, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Aiyah, can't upload photos, because of some Blogger problem. Some other time then, along with the prom photos because...
Prom is tomorrow night! I'm so excited! I've got everything I need (I hope), and there's a suprise in store for those sitting at the same table as me tomorrow!
Okay, time to see to the suprise. Goodnight!
