A shot and more


Working in a fun-filled place, a few of us (CF, fangers, WYee and i) signed up for a non-scientific seminar—whisky appreciation and tasting. Yeah~~ I’m not an alcoholic.. but I just wanted to go have fun. Hee. A pity, that CF fell sick and couldn’t make it last minute. Fangers and I were late due to work, and arrived just in time to hear the speaker give his closing line. That means DRINKING TIME!! ^_^

I tried 1 shot each of 3 different kinds of whisky (Sullivan’s Cove), from 40% to 60%. Whoaa.. it was all so strong.. esp the 60% ones, can feel it burning! Haha.. luckily, being scientific pple, we knew to take in fats like cheese and chocolates to prevent ourselves from getting drunk (we had to get back to work after tt!) I think my favourite was the 4th and final one, a whisky cream! I didn’t know that such a thing exists.. and it tasted really good! Like icecream.. like rum n raisin with extra extra rum. Haha.

After the whole event, with everyone happy and satisfied with the high-ness of alcohol/cheese/choc, there was a lucky draw. Sponsored by Lexus, a whole wine set! And… CF won!! BUT, since she wasn’t around, the prize was given to the next name drawn.. Ahboon. Bleah. We went to ‘confront’ Ahboon.. and he actually offered to give the prize to CF! So nice.. haha. That was also the first time I talked to Ahboon since I left the company for a long holiday. It feels weird talking to him this time. Too much resemblance.. I wonder if he has a long lost brother who’s 1 year his junior..
