I'VE GOT TO TAKE A PUBBING BREAK!

I never thought I'd ever say this but I have to take a break from the pub scene. Since the beginning of the year, its been too regular for my liking. I know there are many who do it a whole lot more than me but personally, twice a week is a little too many times.

So from this month, I will try to cut it down to once a fortnight. It's just that it really becomes boring after sometime. Besides, I'd rather catch up with friends over tea or coffee where I can hear myself for a change. We always end the night with a coarse throat after all the shouting.

To come to think of it, we do have more fun when we meet up at a friend's place and take turns at each other's homes. The thing is - while I can certainly hold my liquor well - it does have you drinking more and more each time. You may not get drunk in the end but it does leave you with a nasty hangover to deal with the next morning.

I wouldn't say that the club scene is really happening in Singapore. In the 1980s, that was the boom time! But these days, you will probably have more fun in Kuala Lumpur, our neighbour's capital city.

Those days it was all about fun. Today, it's more about young people challenging each other on who can drink the most. I don't want to give them the option of saying they are young so they have the passport to act childish and stupid, because we were young too but we were the cool generation, street-smart and sexy. Where has class gone?

Anyone got a good antidote for a hangover?

Missus Singapore out!
