On the subject of Drunk

Let me recall those few times that I was really drunk and in semi-unconsciousness (half dead)...

The very first time:

It was the period that after high school graduation and waiting for university term start. That was the very first time I not staying at home, and renting an apartment nearby Sunway Pyramid shopping mall (doing a part time job there). Me, one buddy, three lady classmates, and one more ad-hoc buddy... Very comfortable staying together experience. That was the first time close proximity with opposite gender. And, apparently, nothing had happened. ha ha. But, I gain friends that is dear to heart...

One of night, after works, we all decided to go a club for drinks, why, just to drink... For me, that was a place I think everyone just indulged and soaked into heavy metal music with deep bass that blast against the eardrum. The mind & sanity got blurred, and what is right become not important, what is wrong can be pardon.

Anyway, back to my 'drunk' experience'... I really cannot take alcohol, i only took two cans of Carlsberg and I already cannot stand by myself... Vomited my supper out. My friends bring me out of pub, and I just wanna to sleep, and, the road seem so comfort to lie along, I just laid flat on the road... Forgot how I make it back to apartment... The next morning woke up, I sort of talked to myself, never again drink beer...

2nd time: Chinese New Year. Should only 2 years ago... I was reading this book "When Boy Meet Gal", then, I thought to myself, "Isn't it the best time I try to practice and learn to get use to beer at home now? No one around and I can take my own sweet time to drink..." I then took one can of Carlsberg (again...), I drank it slowly, and I try to read book again.... Somehow, I cannot read book... The heart beating fast... and getting faster... I think the beer already took effect. So, just leave book aside, sleep on the floor and take some rest first... After awhile, my father came to ask me eat dinner... Stood up, and fell on my knees... Cannot stand by myself... The feeling of vomiting came... and I vomit into the sea.. Sleep again... Woke up for supper instead of dinner. My cousins and my mother laugh out their teeth... This time, only 1 can of beer...

3rd time: This was the most recent account... Friday evening. Went out with Law & his group of colleagues and xiang jun, hui jun. After dinner, Melvin treat all of us for a drink at Clarke Quay. Decided that I will drink some, but definitely will not over drink till cannot walk by myself. Reach the pub, sat down, Melvin ordered Chivas 12 year, with greentea as mixer go with the whisky. The Chivas with Greentea is surprisingly nice to drink, it just didn't taste like alcohol. So, playing some Poy's favorite game (The Ultimate Number), play Big-D card game... Sing one song together with Melvin. Then, I started felt sleepy, I thought it was quite late... But later on, I realized it was the whisky started to take effect... And it is very BIG one... Rest at the sofa. Woke up by Law, it was already 2am. My eye wide opened. My mind flew to my works, I still need to do some works on the next day... Then, I knew the chivas+greentea is too deceiving le. Anyway, cut the story short, whatever prawn noodle that took in during dinner all come out very clean... Really thank God for lawrence and lay peng bunch of peoples, they been very nice and try to help me to wake up from my semi-dead status... ginger tea, mineral water, wet tissue, plastic bag... Whatever they can think of... Reached home 2 plus am... i continued to struggle till 5am, till the last drop of alcohol was dispel from my stomach... Then, I able to slept soundly till 8 plus am. and By God's mercy, I woke up, a bit headache, but still able to head toward office to finished off whatever needed to be done...

Anyway, when I reflect upon the last incident. It is really a bad testimony to the two new friends, and hopefully will not affect LP and the two xiao mei mei... This was my first drunk experience in public setting. And, this shall be the last.

Conclusion from my experience:
1) Only drink a bit socially, and if wanna to get more, make sure you are with familiar crowd. (This principle not applicable to lady).
2) I ready become very off guard when I am with familiar group. During my few business trip, I also drink a few cup with colleague during meal time, but, never reach such semi-dead status.... Perhaps, i should be more on guard even with close friends.

But, would I miss something if always on guard? Can let go a bit when I am with frens? Holy Spirit tell me No. Be on guard and let not caught in situation that it is a bad testimony for the sake of the Gospel.
