Alcohol Rants I

This is one of the liquor which you can drink that makes you feel rich. :P

Here are a few tips to hold your liquor. Well, too much of it will still bring you down. Some of it, you guys might know.

1. Do not mix your booze. This is true esspecially with beer. Do not mix beer with the rest. Beer is gaseous and it brings the alchohol into your brain quicker.

2. Do not drink with a empty stomach. Oldest tip in the book. Food helps you to absorb alchohol. Empty stomach just makes it easier for the alchohol to go into your bloodstreams.

3. Light colored alchohol does not provide as much hangover as darker alchohol. Still experimenting.

4. Always mix alchohol with mixers. Do not be a hero to down it neat. Water is the best.

5. Always be the friend to the best drinker, so he won't toast you down.

6. Be the bartender, then you know how much to pour for youself.

7. Drinks lots of water in between drinks. it dilutes the alchohol.

8. Dance. you are there to party, not to be a alchoholic. Somehow, the alchohol effect will wear off. Don't worry if you can't dance well, no one cares.

9. Don't drink too fast. why ? alchohol is expensive, and you are not trying to commit suicide.

10. If you feel light headed, seriously stop drinking until you feel better. A wasted person is always an emabarassment.

11. Don't drink if you are tired or sad or depress. The other way , you can hold your liquor better when you are happy.

12.Cocktails. If you do not know what isit, don't drink too much of it. They may taste harmless, but there are potent. They are meant to be drink slowly.

Here's a 2 post from one of the blogs I read on how to care for your wasted buddies.

Rules

Rules

Here's a picture of Galileo facing trial for believing that the Sun is the center of the universe.

Just a random thought.Why people follow rules blindly ?

Ever wonder why isit you can only drink when you are 18 ?

or why you can get a driving license at 17 ?

or why drugs are banned but not ciggarettes ?

or why there is only legalised bookie ?

or Why no chewing gum ? oh...to keep the country clean !!! Why not ban ciggarettes ?

Arent laws or rules enact for the people's benefit?

and many more whys..not just country have rules, religious body, schools, family, games, corporate all have rules.

And always there are people breaking them. Well, rules are canonized into law to control people. More often than not, its usually to protect the people making them.

Essentially there are two major types of people in this world. People who follows the rules and people who make their own rules. This is the fundamental of civilazation. There is the governing body , the ruler and the commoners, the citizens. Earlier civilazations, rulers are people who have might, powerful, not necessary smart and the commoners are the weaker race. As we transcend into the 20th century, rulers are now multinational corporations. Look at this, they have foothold in every country. Their employees slave for them for a salary which rhymes with slavery. They sponsored political parties so they can win elections becoming the people who make laws.

Thats why no matter how harmful ciggarettes is, they are still here. They provide a economy.

I am not suggesting people to break rules but rather question and think why.

I prefer to believe that they are guidelines instead.

I guess I have been watching too much of House M.D.

The Economies of A Chinese Wedding (my humble views)

What happen when you decided to say I do as a Chinese in South East Asia ?

Mastercard should use this

1. Photo Shoot 5,000(est)
2. Wedding Gown 3,000(est)
3. Wedding Dinner 20,000(est)
4. Ang Pows 1000 (est)

Getting married to the love of your life, saying bye bye to bachelorhood...priceless.

(est) is because i haven't been through it yet. From what I heard, you usually have to eat economical rice for a few months after that.

Anyays, What happen during the last decade ? Weddings suddenly becoming an million dollar industry.Thanks to the Bachelorette, now its picking up in the US as well.

And wedding suppose to be a sacred ceremony between two people (male and female) that decided " ok people, we are off the singles market now, go find other people". There will be someone to ordain the event, and witnesses to make sure you don't back out in the later part of life ( there, I saw you get married, now don't you play play ).

Why can't it be a simple ceremony with friends and families..and then..off to the honeymoon.

Here is my conspiracy theory,in the mid 1987's , after asian economic crisis, people went bankrupt, out of job, spending less drives the chinese restaurant business , wedding parlors into despration.

So, one smarty chinese restaurant owner meet up with the wedding parlor owner for coffee and came up with a new idea. Why don't we have wedding packages ? We will psycho the girls, knowing each girl has a dream of a grand wedding. And then the girl will make their future loving spouse to pay for it. ITs perfect, win win situation. Hence today, all chinese restaurants have wedding package, all wedding boutiques (no more parlors..cheapskate name) have wedding package for all levels of income.

So, most chinese can't afford to lose face, will either keep up with the grandness or make it grandier.

I have heard people asking, "when you are getting married?". the person answer " I am saving up for it."

Now they even rope in the videographers and the flash programmers. Whats next ya?

I would have a circus act in mine. hahaha..

Coming in my next few posts...my humble views to the economies of

1. Having Children
2. Divorce
