Drinking Friday at Yves’

It has been three weeks since the last time I had an alcohol intake. However, it was that special day when I decided to go and have a drinking night with my friends in Shanghai. We set out drinking venue at Yves’ place.

Before we started drinking, we had fooooooood.

Appetiser? Sour plum tomato and trust me, it was really good. It’s funny that I do not eat tomatoes back in Malaysia but only in Australia and China. Weird, eh?

Homemade nachos and it was really good too. It may not be as great as the one I had before at Cantina Agave but it’s cheap and still good. Cheap is all that matters to us as most of us are already facing financial crisis. Surviving in Shanghai with such petty pay ain’t easy.

Taiwanese sausage and guess what we ate it with? Apple! Can you believe it? And it’s amazing! Hot Taiwanese sausage with cooling apple, great combination! No kidding. Try this at home!

Now behold our Very Important Drink for the night: VODKA! Well, Kafka is a cheap shit so the drink is shit but it’s better to have shit than nothing, right? After all, cheap is all that matters to us. We are broke but we still want to drink so, get over it.

Wagas Revisited

It was one of the rarest day when I decided to have a rather expensive dinner at Wagas to enlighten myself. The last time I had my dinner at Wagas was way back in August, one of those days during my first week in Shanghai.

Time does fly really fast. I have been in Shanghai for almost 9 months and 3 more months to go before I embark another journey.

Back to the dinner, I had Very Berry Smoothie with this rather long-name pasta which doesn’t ring a bell. The dinner was great and my night ended with a free (Shanghai rocks!) glass of fruit martini at Big Bamboo with my female friends.

It sure was one of the rarest night this year. It has been a long time since I spent so much on a meal and had drinks during weekdays. Something really bothered me a lot that night but not anymore. I learn to not take all things too seriously and by doing so, I am not that stressed out any longer.

Let It Go..

What had been troubling me, it’s better facing your feelings than avoiding the fact that you may be hurt..

What had been driving me crazy, it’s better trying to get him back than waiting for the time to make it happen..

What had been killing me, it’s better knowing he is moving on than believing false hopes..

What had been heartbreaking, it’s better letting him go than hurting him even more..

What joint our fingers, it’s better throwing it than losing it, staining its existence..

Now,

What had been hurting my eyes, it’s better going to sleep than sitting here, thinking nonsense..
