abstinence!

ever since the last "liquor treatment" in august 08 and the subsequent "punishment" (aka vomiting) i have (or rather, my stomach) now an adverse reaction to the hennessey family of cognacs, notably XO and VSOP.

i experienced something similar when i was in primary 3, when i had some raw oysters on a sunday evening. it was my first time with raw food, so probably it wasn't that fresh, or that i should have downed some hot stuff (such as soup) before eating those oysters - i don't know. then, on monday morning i had pork rib noodles. around 11:00am i started visiting the WC really frequently and at the same time, i felt nauseous but did not vomit (not until much later, anyway).

evening came, and it got worse. the toilet bowl almost became part of me, and it did not help that i had tuition in that same evening. gosh, it was a new tutor too! goodness, i went to the toilet after a while and if i remember correctly, i vomitted in the tutor's house too (into the toilet bowl of course) and was asked to lie on the bed until the end of the session. jeez, after that i did not go to that tutor anymore - for reasons i still don't know.

anyway, almost a year on from that fateful morning and that even more fateful bowl of noodles, i shunned away from pork rib noodles because i could not stand the taste, and that it reminded me of my vomit. although after that, i'm back to eating that (the noodles, not the vomit!) and it still counts as one of my favorite breakfast.

so the same goes for XO and VSOP... last night i had to entertain a couple of my grandfather's friends and they are notable for being able to drink - a lot. not beer, but liquor - preferably without ice / water added, but always with so as to minimize the impact of drinking pure liquor.

i had mine with ice, and it did not agree well with my stomach; only had a single cup and it was enough. anyway liquor and spirits are always wasted on me as i will frequent the toilet after downing a few of them. i am likely to be sober still (it takes quite a fair bit to get me drunk) but the good stuff just goes down the drain as piss.

luckily, i did not vomit. nor did i drank so much that i have a hangover today... phew.

gotta go. lots of work to do... but never the "real" work.
