Cowboy Caleb the liberal arts, grown-up stuff & random mischief

Such Succulent Sake

15 minutes ago, I left the Japanese restaurant located just outside my apartment block. It is an upscale eatery with Japanese speaking service staff, catering to mainly my Japanese expat neighbours.

Today, because I felt so down, I ordered a bottle of sake to go along with the salmon sashimi, cold noodles and prawn tempura.

Today, because I felt so down, I drank all the sake and wasn’t interested in a bite of food. When I asked for the bill, the waitress looked at my untouched food and asked if anything was the matter.

I told her the sake was excellent.

Then, I popped into the liquor shop next door and bought a bottle of Bacardi, some soda water and a few lemons.

The theme of today’s morose mood is ” After 30, The Things You Love Fall Away”. I find that as I grow older, the things I love confuse me, and the things I no longer love are becoming a burden.

Some burdens are too heavy to bear alone.

it’s just the movie effect. it will go away soon trust me.

Oh no… you gave into the dark side.. hang in there. Call if you want to talk, anytime my friend! Tomorrow is a new day!

too emo la, cowboy. go for a jog or something.

Too emo la, cowboy. Go outside and jog!

Cheer up mate…lots of people out there on the same boat as you…just different location. i am drinking my sake in KL, in beijing, in perth, in auckland, in balikpapan, in chengdu, in Duri, in PNG..

I just reached 30 too… single, broke with receding hairline and hardly a career breakthrough in sight… LOL

I’m personally kidda envious of your accomplishments to date, and finds your posts witty, hilarious and inspiring at times. =)

Do perk up and look at the brighter side of life. And welcome to sgforums.. hahaha.

relac bang.

you know my situation too. mine more challenging right?
but we must fight on. YES WE CAN!

A day after i turned 30, i was on a plane, uprooting my entire life to work in beijing.
Yes, it’s true that some of things i love has fallen away, but then again, there’s always new stuff that come in to replace them.
Open your heart perhaps?

Hey…
Can we have a show of hands of people that are staying in DG please?

Cowboy .. mate, what i suggest is to meet up with these guys and start doing something so that it might help you to get over the blues.

Ken > when was that? I used to think that way. But after awhile, all this uprooting is no longer an adventure. It’s just a bleedin pain in the arse.

Tommy > more power to you man. RAWK ON

anonymous > thanks…. I will try to post more on sgforums hahaha

Hi,
Thank you for following me on Google.
I am following you on Tweeter.
Actually I want to to follow you on
Google but can’t find the widget.

That was a exactly 11 months 7 days ago.
Sure, I no longer yearn for the things that I used to that i did back home such as a kopitiam kopi in the morning, but new things have come in, like er hot water bottles, to take its place.
And i think the difference between an adventure and a chore is simply the attitude. Maybe you might want to choose your own adventure?

dude, go learn something, some nice hobby which you can bring around.

learn guitar, keyboarding, find something that you can do instead of drinking your liver out.

don’t be emo, MCR is so 2006 now

it doesnt necessary means its bad, its just life

go headbanger in any kind of gig you sure feel unwind.

Handsup > Just me – Nan Cheng

Cowboy > CK and i have arranged lim teh session tomorrow night.

If you want, you can join him for dinner at the SG restaurant (lau pat sat) and i will meet you guys up for the teh session. Please give him a ring

This invitation is open to anyone who wants to join us. And no, this is not a match making session.
This is a ‘drive the blues away’ meet up session.

AIyah, I am flying to singapore tomorrow morning leh….! Next next week I meet up with you all can?
I went to Lau Pa sat last night. Food was cheap and good.

no problem .. cowboy. Good to go away and perk yourself up.Just touch base with CK next week

Went to Lau pa sat this afternoon.
I’ve had 5 dishes today … Laksa, nasi lemak, mee siam, bak kut teh and carrot cake (black), only the carrot cake and some parts of the nasi are acceptable.

Wonder if its my taste bud that is playing up.

I’m late, and I disagree. And I’d have eaten that food.

New things to love are coming to us everyday, old things start to get boring, they don’t fall away.

I had a friend who drank so much all the time, one day he started peeing blood or something.

Be careful.

Hands-up, Dalang

But I escaped from the 3-weeks per month cycle sometime ago
