The Glenmorangie House, Scotland

.. is a chilled pad. Was there last year courtesy of Moet Hennessy, but never wrote about it.

Posted about the trip here and here before tho.

The Glenmorangie House is where we hung for a few days. It has its own website too.

The house is elegant and traditional, quite large, with big grounds.

The hall’s got a bar stocked with liquors, liqueurs, and ales. The best part is, it’s open 24 hours, coz it’s help-yourself.

We were also very fortunate to be entertained by a father-daughter pair of traditional musicians.

I asked if they could play the soundtrack for Last of The Mohicans, and she made a great attempt.

It might be quite a distance, but i’d hangout at this pad again in a flash. Fortunately, they accept guests. However, unlike me, you’ll need to pay for it!

Chillin in Serendah

Made a raid to Sekeping Serendah, a forest resort an hour North of the city, organized by my bro.

There’re now various awesome options for weekend getaways, most only an hour from KL. Been to most of ’em now. Luv ’em all!

I should rate them comparatively someday.

Anyway, SS is a great spot too, with several options for accommodation. Since there were quite a few of us, opted for the big-ass Warehouse.

No doors, no walls. No windows too obviously.

The chillout spot is downstairs, while there’s a mezzanine floor with two ‘rooms’.

The openness is unsafe for unsupervised children tho, coz many possibilities of falling accidents.

Beer stuff

Did u know that a female beer brewer is known as a Brewster?? Haha

I wish i knew a few brewsters. In fact, i only know two brewers here, and they aint no goddam brewsters.

I do know a few guys who suffer from cenosillicaphobia. No, it’s not the fear of silly caps. It’s fear of an empty beer glass.

You won’t have dat problem with a lil foresight. Why wait till your glass be empty before u order your next beer?? Dont make sense.

I didn’t realize dat this beer i had a few times comes from the world’s oldest brewery. Weihenstephan is the oldest functional brewery, built in 1040.

Quite a few interesting facts bout beer at this site. A total of 24 Facts You Didn’t Know About Beer. But u gotta be quite a Martian not to know all 24. I learnt 13 new facts bout beer.

The first recorded drunk-driving accident was in 2,000 BC. Haha. 4,000 years ago? Who was it? Fred Fuckin Flintstone?

Whoever it was, the punk was crucified. Literally.

There’re also 400 varieties of beer. Not brands. Varieties. Which means i still have several hundred to go thru.

Cool.

Thirsty now.

 Bread bag tags and toilet paper cores seem to get several appearances.
