Arena on 9th Aug
$28 cover charge with 2 free tequila shots. Additional 1 whisky shot, 2 jugs of whiskey+pepsi, my national day was spent with Marcus, Eugene and his 2 friends Mong & Justin. We wanted to go Double O but it was so empty, it seemed kinda unappealing - we headed for Arena instead. I honestly think I have a rather high alcohol tolerance (my liver is one of a kind). After all the drinks, I didn't feel much at all. It was so mild all I could do was smile uncontrollably. Other than that, it was all perfect sober, articulate and clarity.
We watched GI JOE at PS initially. It was a show for children apparently, with the no-brainer plot and cheap CGI effects. Still, it was pretty entertaining. Wouldn't be a blockbuster, definitely.
Anyways, I came home and had a sip of Martell from Dad's wine cabinet. It was left with a little bit with a lil herby taste. One tiny sip and Hello, I'm gone. Hahaha! Nah, it was really pretty intense, I could feel it in my tongue. The aftertaste and all... I didn't realise I had so much alcohol at home with a few bottles of Martell, XO, Chivas, Tequila, Whiskey, Johnny Walker, and lotsa red wine. Hell I could open a bar!
The other day I was thinking: Why do we always let one negative thing affect us so deeply regardless of how many good things that had happened to us? Like how we can score high points for tests and one major failure in any other exam will weigh us down so much. A bad review seems to be able to contest all other good reviews we have earned in our lives. Why are we so hard on ourselves?
We then start to put so much blame on ourselves when we hear about something bad being said about us? We say "who cares?!" but deep down, we can't help but think about it and it's enough to bug us the entire day. Happy moments are transcient, but upsetting times seem permanent.
So in view of all these sadness that easily sways our emotions to the other end of the meter, we MUST have fun as much as we can at every opportunity possible! Because such moments are rare, rarer than the heartbreaks and grief we can possibly go through. So when we get invites to parties, clubbing and drinking, dinner dates, gatherings, etc., we should always make ourselves available. Such moments balance out the negativity in our lives that are more probable to occur. Besides, it enhances our social lives and increase the probability of having better moments in life.
I guess all I'm saying is, before we decide to take away this privilege to live life happily, with the company of close friends and buddies, we should think of all the repercussions that ensue. Before moving off, think of what you're moving away from. Is it worth it?
Fun can be measured. It can be it's definitely what any human being would want to strive towards having outside their ordinary lives.
