Random yaking

Just got back from Aiyah! chalet (with dear's friends) in the afternoon.. heh. Get-togethers like that are indeed a nice way to end/start the year! =)

Feeling so lethargic now. Barely slept for less than 3 hours the first night, coz for some strange reason, I've come to realize that for not the first time already, too much Coke actually keeps me very awake! Yea, I know Coke is supposed to be caffeinated, but I am kind of okay with falling asleep after drinking most coffee, and Coke is supposed to be less caffeinated than coffee yea? -.-'' I guess I'm just weird..or perhaps I got desensitized to coffee already. Haha.

Anyway, I suppose most people here know about my history of super kuazhang alcohol allergy. But what you've been missing is that, I've been training to get myself desensitized to some alcohol too! =P Hahaaha. You see, on certain occasions/celebrations, my colleagues and I would go for happy hour kind of thing after work. So after abandoning alcohol for a couple of years, I decided to try drinking again just to see what it would be like. So I downed 1 bottle of I-forgot-what, and got a little flushed and a little 'high' (note: not drunk, just 'high' and giggly. haha). It was manageable though, and after I got home, I itched for about 1.5 weeks.

Yay! It's an improvement from itching for 2 weeks afew years back ok! Hahaha. So subsequently, I just drank a bottle each time we go for happy hour and itch for 1 week or so (No, we are not a party crowd, nor am I becoming a drunkard, it's only about twice or thrice so far I think).

So, funnily speaking, at the end-of-year xmas event, my company was creative enough to come up with cute and fun certs for each of us, to recognize our funny little 'oddities'/'strengths'/etc... like there was Martha Stewart award for the one that bakes really well, and the Mirror Mirror on the Wall award for the one that keeps looking into the mirror, and well... they not surprisingly gave me an award "in recognition of her(my) alcohol intolerance and her bravery to overcome it".

ANYWAY. The purpose I mentioned this was because of the chalet. I was so hyper and sleepy all at the same time on the second day though I was really tired and starting to feel dizzy. So to wash off the Coke, I started to kope dear's beer everytime he drinks. So I started to get flushed again by about 10pm last night. And stopped. Managed to fall asleep by 1+am, and slept quite well throughout the night. Yay!! Happiness.

So when I woke up today morning, I lived up to the name of the award my company gave me! - "Red Lobster award". Hahahaa!

But good news is, the itch is like 70% gone by now already...which is only like less than 24hours! So wheeeee~ Hahaha. Maybe next time I should try to consume alcohol after I get caffeine overdosed. Tsk tsk tsk. That sounds like 2 awfully unhealthy junk one after another. Haha.

Anyway, I don't know why I'm talking about all this.

I meant to talk about my 1-week of hols just flew by, starting, lasting, and ending on a very nice note, and that tmr's gonna be a fresh beginning for me at work! =)

Haha. I'm still happy but exhausted from chalet, disappointed that my 1-wk hols is ending so super fast, and excited about work tmr! What a draining mix of feelings~ Haha.

I hope tmr and the coming year works out well for me, coz it really means much to me that this works out fine!

Tingting jiayou!! =)

Zzz...yes I will sleep early tonight...
