Brown-out

Learnt a new phrase from my fave dictionary today, Urban Dictionary.

It’s defined thus – “Less intense than the experience of “blacking out” when drunk and not remembering portions (or all) of your night, “browning out” occurs when you don’t remember something until someone brings it up. It’s not a complete blackout, but partial, because you remember once someone refreshes you.”

Aka fragmented blackout.

Gosh, been there many times. Related to D.I.A – drink-induced amnesia.

Then there’s this other one many guys can relate to – Cock block – A girl who prevents another from scoring sexually.

Usage: Trudy and Dan frequently had time alone but her cockblocking friend ruined any chances they had to have sex.
Yup. We all know them spoilers.
Its normally coz the cockblocks cant score (fugly, boring, sober, etc), so they somehow try to prevent their girlfrens from gettin sum. Haha! Sad but true.

If u gonna work overtime downtown, this is the spot, at least until Wed (Dec 16). Overtime (2161-0246 / 012 233-1816) is a new joint that specializes in a German beer known as Starker. It’s known as a ‘fresh beer’, meaning its made and consumed within a week.

Another new beer in town

Checked it out on Sunday. A pint normally costs $30, while a barrel is $345. BUT, from Dec 10-16, as i said here before, it’s DIRT CHEAP. A pint is $8 NETT, a barrel is only $80 NETT for 5 liters, ie 10 pints.

To make sure, we had three barrels.

They come in very chilled wooden kegs, sent to your table still sealed.

Tap that ass

Virgin

You get the honour of bashing it open.

Tap dat ass!

Tap dat ass!

The copper tap breaks the seal, and you’re on.

Party starter

The beer is 1) Fucking cold. 2) Smooth & light-tasting. 3) A li lfruity. 4) Goes down easy.

Its brewed from wheat & malted barley, unfiltered, with a murky, Hoegaarden-like colour. It’s served at 3 Celcius. I like.

It was a crew of 3 (my bro & MadMax) that soon expanded as word got round of what mischief we were up to in the city on a Sunday afternoon. Haha

Lil got more & more

There’s also a bbq section – the grilled siakap is pretty good, but get the sauce on the side, not on it.

Like i said...

Like i said...

They got tons of pork! Char siew too. Honey pork, fire pork, beancurd pork, crunchy pork, honey char siew, garlic pork.

There’s a band – called Suresh & Friends. Unexpectedly impressive.

But this ridiculous deal is only until tomw (Wed, Dec 16), so get organized. It operates 3pm-3am and located at Life Centre along Sultan Ismail.

There’s also a sweet deal for Smirnoff – $300 NETT for 2 bottles. Not sure until when.

The official launch takes place on Thursday from 6.45pm. Freeflow. Reshmonu & some chick called Chi Ling will be in dahaus.

COCKTALES is the winner as Best Blog, in “The Best of 2009” by JUICE magazine. Haha! Unexpected, as i didnt enter any contest, and am very new to dis shit. I consider myself a drinker, not a blogger.

I guess not givin a fuck helps!

Coming from THE party mag, its an honour.

Maybe i shd throw a lil party. Any excuse right? I would, if a bar / liquor company sponsors it. Haha

Funny, but a search on Google for “alcohol blogger” gives this blog as the first result. Not sure why! I would have tot there’d be many scammers like me around d world workin this gig.

Watever. Am enjoying myself thus far.

My local pub won Best Pub 2009 – Sid’s Pub TTDI. Congrats!
