So far I haven't gone out during the week after work because I get up at 6:00 am for work most days (unless I don't have an 8:00 patient). Tuesday was one of those days that I really, really wanted a beer after work. So my American friend met me for a beer before her networking meeting. She has been an awesome new friend to hang out with. Conversation flows so easily and she is such a laid-back, cool girl.
After she went to her meeting, I know I had seen one of the guys in the office next door a couple bars down. The office next door to me is full of computers and there's usually about 5-7 guys in there on the computer all day. I had no idea what they did until Tuesday night. Before Tuesday I had only met the one guy who I decided to go say hi too. They invited me to join them of course. They are all older, married men probably in their 30s and mostly 40s. Here in Singapore, anyone hangs out with anyone. It's just whatcha do here. It's just one big family of expats down at Boat Quay. Turns out these guys sit on the computer and trade all day. Buy stuff, then sell it. Fun, fun (mild sarcasm). :-P A couple beers later and a few tequila shots later (no idea why, but they were getting into the tequila shots that night----straight up too with no salt or lime) it was after 11:30! A little past my weekday bedtime. I headed home and was really worried about being hungover for work from the tequila...so I proceeded to eat a McDonalds double cheeseburger before hitting the MRT (if you haven't figured out by now from previous posts, I'm not a pescatarian here in Sing, got to be willing to try anything as part of the experience). I am a firm believer if you eat before bed when you have been drinking, it will help lessen the hangover :)
Now I wasn't just a little worried, I was really, really worried about feeling bad for work. So I proceeded to get a second double cheeseburger by my condo....Yikes. There I admitted it. I ate two double cheeseburgers from McDonalds. :-o
Have you ever ate crazy after a night out? What was the best meal post-drinking you've had?
It is not food that helps a hangover.....it's a bunch of water, but I guess you need to justify that Micky D binge somehow....LOL. BTW those probably weren't actually double cheese burgers, but cat burgers.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it is going so well. Sounds like your mom wants to come for a visit, or maybe a long stay. Go for it Peggy.
No no no....A McD's burger is a McD's burger no matter where you go! And yes obv about the water :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew who anonymous was, your funny. Anyway I agree water for dehydration, but I think anything with bread will absorb the alchohol. It is very hard for me to figure out why anyone would drink to the point of having a hangover. You know your gonna feel like pooh pooh the next day. Oh well, us humans are always in need of the immediate satisfaction instead of thinking of the consequences. I have been known to treat food in the same disrespectful manner. I hope when I see you Julie you havent become twice the girl I know from all those cheeseburgers. lol
ReplyDeleteAs far as the language question, of course I agree it would have been easier to learn a new language as a child, but I'll admit at this point I have no desire to learn one mainly bcuz I could not choose which one to learn. And yes, I have always thought Americans at times could be arrogant feeling as if our language should be the universal language. When you think about it, Americans don't even speak English correctly. Technically we should say we speak American, not English.
Havde a great weekend and watch the beer consumption.
love
mom
