After getting a boost of energy from a can of Heineken and miriculously completed my long overdue Elective report in a night, I accidentally tripped across my new found love----ALCOHOL. Do not get me wrong. I am not an alcoholic (yet). I like the taste of beer, just THAT.

I missed the days when I was back in Kch. Papa and I would try every coffee shops hunting for QING TAO , the ultimate delicious beer from CHINA. I recalled vividly how we father and daughter sat in front of the flat-screen-27-inches-wanna-bee TV watching hysterical yet intriguing Taiwan politics while savouring every sip of our beer. Oh, not forgetting the NGA NGIT peanuts of course. Not surprisingly, mama would sneered at us calling us names like ALCHOLICS or STINKY DRUNKARDS. Haha. Who cares. Oh, not forgetting JIro who tried to be a MAN and developed rashes after drinking a minute amount of beer, too. Sorry bro, there is still a LONG way to go from achieving your purberty.

Nevertheless, I doubt it if I would get addicted to alcohol. I am too narcissistic to accept the weight I might gain from boozing. I still want to LOOK PRETTY, you know. I want my liver to look ATTRACTIVE too. So, getting a FATTY liver due to excess alcohol intake is on top of my taboo list. Second of all, I think girls that drink BEER socially is cool. Forget about WINE. WINE is for ninnys, elegant and sophisticated-wannabe girls. BEER represents SIMPLICITY and SATISFACTION. Honestly, Beer tastes so much better than wine.





Let me introduce you to my current affair, JIM BEAN. KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WISKEY and COLA. That’s my love! Been drinking them ‘socially’ for the past 1 week. That’s my pager by the way, and it has nothing to do with BEER, OK? I don’t work with them simultaneously. They take turns to work with me.

After spending my whole afternoon reading journals, I surf the internet reading news while casually sipping my JIM BEAN until this article make me choked in my own beer:

BBC NEWS:

Intoxication 'rife among doctors'

‘Doctors are known to be at least three times as likely to have cirrhosis of the liver - a sign of alcohol damage - than the rest of the population.
This is second only to publicans and bar staff. ‘
At East Kent NHS Trust, seven doctors and two nurses had been disciplined over drink and drugs in the last 10 years.
The biggest figure came from the University of Leicester NHS Trust where 17 clinical staff, including one consultant, four nurses and two operating theatre practitioners were disciplined over the past decade.
The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons said a survey of 150 consultant surgeons revealed more than a fifth said they knew a colleague who they believed to be impaired by alcohol while on call.


GULP.

This will be the last time we meet.


I never expect our affair will be that short. But please do remember, love you, always , JIM.
