Gosh, must have been the ever latest time I came home without my parents driving me. Went out on saturday to meet up with a handful of ODAC people - namely, CheeYong, Shenglong, Van, Weilong, Changtai. Basically, got to see Shenglong, Weilong and Changtai bald. Actually, they are not exactly bald, they looked like they just adorned a crew cut. So what's the big fuss about walking around without a cap? Some people still look good in crew cuts, for instance Edison Chen. Wow, boyish charm with his blingbling stud and the crew cut adds maturity and seriousness.
So basically we sang at Cathay's kbox (yeah, can imagine your jaw dropping open and you saying "AGAIN?"but seripously, kbox is not my favourite hangout all the time). We all had a couple of drinks and experimented with some alcohol.Let me give a brief introduction:
Tequila Sprite
This is my order. It came in a glass of tansparent liquid with a slice of lime. There is no prickly feeling in the throat even when you down a mouthful of the drink. Probably the alcohol content is not very high. It has a hint of sweetness in it. There is also an occasional bitterness to it when about to swallow, which I guess is probably due to the lime.
Vodka Sprite
This is CheeYong's order. It taste somewhat similar to Tequila sprite, probably cos they are both sprites. However, this drink seems more light.
Whisky Coke
This is Shenglong's order. Probably more alcoholic. Although there isn't the gust through the nose, the throat gets somehow drier.
Brandy
This is Weilong's order and kind of funny. All our alcoholic drinks are mixed with carbonated soft drinks. Weilong asked for a brandy mixed with some soft drink but the waiter said they don't mix brandy. The shot of brandy came in a tiny glass and Weilong wanted to down it in one gulp. Vanessa stopped him, worried that he will get drunk if he just swallows the whole cup. Couldn't give any evaluation here as I didn't really try it. But, in the end, Cheeyong mixed the Brandy with his Vodka and no one became drunk.
Vanessa drank an interestingly colour drink. By the way she says it, I doubt it is alcoholic. the top layer is transparent and the bottom lingers a pinkish-red swirl. I had a sip of it and it tastes sour- not the citrous kind of sour. More like concentrated sour pineapples. That doesn't mean the taste is un-appealing. If you are someone who doesn't mind sour drinks that gives a tingling sensation even as it makes its way down your troat, then this drink is probably an option.
So much so for drinks. So far, I have been evaluating food and drinks, I feel like a critic. And it feels good... though sad to say, I am not a qualified one. Just personal opinions and likings, so if I offended anyone, please excuse me.
